LOUP CITY, • - NEB. •n .. 1 'i"»i-a The moving sidewalk of the Paris exposition was a great success; 6,694, 808 persons paid for the privilege of using the platforms, while only 2,635, 867 used the railway that carried pas sengers in the other direction. The Argentine republic is rapidly be coming an Eldorado for people who are interested in the exploitation of elec trical schemes. Enterprises of this sort recently undertaken in the repub lic represent an invested capital of J40.000.000. There is said to be a wide-spread feeling throughout Canada in favor of continuing the celebration of the queen’s birthday. The Toronto Olohe thinks such a perpetuation of the cus tom “would resemble the homage paid by Americans to the majestic figure of Washington.” The reported ofTer of an opal for the English regalia by the commonwealth of Australia is looked upon with dis favor by the superstitious, as the stone is said to be unlucky, except to those born in the month of October. None of the children of the late queen or of tne present king were born in that month. That stirrer-up of human emotions, the baseball umpire, is about to take his position on the “diamond.” Had Shakespeare foreseen the antagonism the arbiter of the national game may excite, he could not better have ex pressed its extreme form than when he makes a character say: “I can hardly forbear hurling things at him.” The geographical congress of Italy, which will be held at Milan this spring, has authorized the Touring club of It aly to organize a special exposition of the methods of locomotion used for long voyages during the nineteenth "entury. The Touring club lias re reived the idea with enthusiasm, and will endeavor to make this exposition as complete and as interesting as pos sible. One of the special bicycles built for ihe use of the British troops in South Africa which went through the cam paign with Gen. Ian Hamilton's col umn was recently exhibited in London, where its excellent condition, consid ering the knocking about it has re ceived, excited general comment. Eng land seems busy with the organiza tion of cyclist soldiers, and many com panies of wheelmen figured in the Easter maneuvers. The constitution of the United States, in prescribing the methods by which It may be amended, virtually forbids amendment in one particular.. No state Is to be deprived without its consent of its equal suffrage in the sen ate. The first state to ratify the con stitution was Delaware, and yet the senate has no members from Delaware. It is greatly to be regretted, even if Delaware’s failure to be represented is by its own consent. President Hadley of Yale made a striking classification of society in a recent address on the development of a public conscience. Humanity, he said, is made up of two classes. Indi viduals of the one participate in the business of life for what they can get out of it. of the other for what they can put into it. It Is not. however, a paradox that those who put most into life are also, in the largest and best sense, those who get most out of it. The smallest man in this year's batch of conscripts in France comes from Cunel, near Montfaucon, in the Department of Meuse. He is named Emile Mayot, stands only three feet nine and three-quarters inches in height, and weighs forty-two pounds In his clothes. He is, however, declared to be constitutionally quite sound and has never had a day’s sickness in his life. The biggest man comes from the Department of the Herrault. He stands six feet six inches, and is named Eu gene Casanae. As usual, a girl has been by some accident Inscribed on the lists. Prof. Gustave Bischof of the Glas gow university has invented a new process for the manufacture of white lead. His plan is the conversion of metallic lead into litharge, by means of water gas at a temperature of 300 degrees centigrade, to suboxide. Suffi cient water is then added to moisten this suboxide, which is converted into hydrate. This substance is then inserted into a gas-tight apparatus, and by means of carbonic and diluted acetic acid manufactured into white lead. I'nder the old process white lead oc cupied from two to three months in its* manufacture, but Prof. Bischof is enabled to make a purer article within iess than forty-eight hours at. a much cheaper price and with perfect safety to the employes. The defense of Gibraltar is now made more complete by a provision to keep mosquitoes from introducing germs ol disease into the huge reservoirs which have been cut out of the side of the rock. Each tank is rendered mosquito proof by means of gauze wires. The millions of gallons of water, which a siege would render an important re source, may be reckoned among the as sets of defensive works which are a symbol, the world over, for impregna bility. Not even the mosquito will be permitted to capture the stronghold. TALMAGES SERMON. glories of the redeemer THE SUBJECT. “Hr Tliat Cometh from Above I* Above All Thine*"—•lolin, Chapter III. Verae 31—Chrlat the Overtopping Figure of All 'lline. ‘(Copyright. 1901, by I.oii1h Klopsch, N. T.) j Washington, April 21.—In this dis course Hr. Talmage sounds the praises i of the world's Redeemer and puts be fore us the portraits of some of his great disciples and exponents; text. John ill, 31, "He that cometh from j above is above all." The most conspicuous character of history steps out upon the platform. I The finger which, diamonded with light, pointed down to him from Beth 1 lehem sky was only a ratification of : the finger of prophecy, the finger of genealogy, the finger of chronology, the finger of events—all five fingers pointing in one direction. Christ is the overtopping figure of all time. He is the vox humana in all music, the gracefulest in all sculpture, the most exquisite mingling of lights and shades in all painting, the acme of all climaxes, the dome of all cathedraled grandeur and the peroration of all splendid language. The Greek alphabet Is made up of twenty-four letters, and when Christ compared himself to the first letter and the last letter, the alpha and the omega, he appropriated to himself all the splendors that you can spell out with those two, letters and ail the let ters between them. "I am the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end, the first anil the last.” or, if you prefer the words of the text, "above all.” I’.rMu* nelwMii Souls* I know that there Is a great deal said in our day against words, as though they were nothing. They may be misused, but they have an imperial power. They are the bridge between soul and soul, between Almighty God and the human race. What did God write upon the tables of stone? Words. What did Christ utter on Mount Oli vet? Words, Out of what did Christ strike the spark for the illumination of the uni verse? Out of words. “Let there be light," and light was. Of course, thought is the cargo, and words are only the ship, but how fast would your cargo get on without the ship? What you need, my friends, in all your work, in your Sunday school class, In your reformatory institutions, and what we all need is to enlarge our vocabulary when we come to speak about God and Christ and heaven. We ride a few old words to death when there is such illimitable resource. Shakespeare employed 15,000 different words for dramatic purposes, Milton employed 8,000 different words for poetic purposes. Rufus Choate em- i ployed over 11,000 different words for legal purposes, but the most of us have less than 1,000 words that we can man age, less than 500, and that makes us so stupid. When we come to set forth the love of Christ, we are going to take the ten derest phraseology wherever we find it. and if it has never been used in that direction before all the more shall we use it. When we come to speak of the glory of Christ, the conqueror, we are going to draw our similes from triumphal arch and oratorio and every thing grand and stupendous. The i French navy have eighteen tlag3 by which they give signal, but those eighteen flags they can put into 66,000 differeu* combinations. And I have to tell you that these standards of the cross may be lifted into combinations l infinite and varieties everlasting. And Get me say to young men who are after awhile going to preach Jesus Christ you will have the largest liberty and unlimited resource. Ton only have to present Christ in your own way. Jonathan Edwards preached Christ in the severest argument ever penned, and John Bunyan preached Christ in the sublimest allegory ever composed. Edward Payson, sick and exhausted, leaned up against the side of the pul pit and wept out his discourse, while I George Wbitefleld, with the manner and the voice and the start of an actor 1 overwhelmed his auditory. It would have been a different thing if Jonathan | Edwards had tried to write and dream about the pilgrim s progress to the cel estial city or John Bunyan had at tempted an essay on the human will. The liarvesU of (iraoe. Brighter than the light, fresher than |the fountains,deeper than the seas,are these gospel themes. Song has no : melody, flowers have no sweetness, sunset sky has no color, compared with these glorious themes. These harvests of grace spring up quicker than we can sickle them. Kindling pulpits with Jhelr lire and producing * revolutions with their power, lighting up dying beds with their glory, they are the sweetest thought for the poet, and they are the most thrilling illustration | for the orator, and they offer the most Intense scene for the artist, and they ire to the ambassador of the sky all mthuslasm. Complete pardon for the Brest guilt. Sweetest comfort for ghastliest agony. Brightest hope for (grimmest death. Grandest resurrec | Bon for darkest sepulchre. Oh, what | a gospel to preach! Christ over all la it. His birth, his suffering, his mir acles, his parables, his sweat, his | tears, his blood, his atonement,his in tercession—what glorious themes! Do we exercise faith? Christ is its ob ject? Do we have love? it fastens on Jesus. Have we a fondness for the church? It is because Christ died for l It. Have we a hope of heaven? It is i because Jesus went ahead, the herald ind the reformer. I The voyal robe of Demetrius was sn costly, so beautiful, that s.fter he bad put It off no one ever dared put it on, but this robe of Christ, richer than thut, the poorest and the wannest and the worst may wear. "Where sin abounded grace may much more abound.” "Oh, my sins, my sins.'' said Martin I.uther to Staupitz, "my sins, my sins!” The fact is that the brawny German student had found a Latin Bible that had made him quake, and nothing else ever did make him quake, and when he found how through Christ he was par doned and saved.he writes a friend say ing: "Come over and join us, great and awful sinners saved by thp grace of God. You seem to be only a slender sinner, and you don't much extol the mercy of God, but we who have been such very awful sinners praise his grace the more now that we have been redeemed.” Can it be that you are so desperately egotistical that you feel yourself in first rate spiritual trim and that from the root of the hair to the tip of the toe you are scarless and im maculate? What you need is a looking glass, and here it is in the Bible. Poor and wretched and miserable and blind and naked from the crown of the head to the sole of the foot, full of wounds and putrefying sores. No health in us. And then take the fact that Christ gathered up all thp notes against us and paid them and then offered us the j receipt. And how much we need him in our sorrows! We are independent of cir cumstances if we have his grace. Why, he made Paul sing in the dungeon, and under that grace St. John from deso late Patmos heard the blast of the apocalyptic trumpets. After all other candles have been snuffed out this is the light that gets brighter and bright er unto the perfect day, and after un der the hard hoofs of calamity all the pools of worldly enjoyment have been trampled into deep mire at the foot of the eternal rock the Christian, from cups of granite, lily rimmed and vine covered, puts out the thirst of his soul. Miinlinex In Death. Again, I remark that Christ is above all in dying alleviations. 1 have not any sympathy with the morbidity abroad about our demise. The em peror of Constantinople arranged that on the day of his coronation the stone mason should come and consult with him about his tombstone that after awhile he would need. And there are men who are niononianiacal on the subject of departure from this life by death, and the more they think of it the less prepared are they to go. This is an unmanliness not worthy of you, not worthy of me. Saladin, the greatest conqueror of his day, while dying, ordered the tunic he had on him to be carried after his death on a spear at the head of his army, and then the soldier ever and anon should stop and say: “Behold all that is left of Saladin, the emperor and conqueror! Of all the states he conquered, of all the wealth he ac cumulated. nothing did he retain hut this shroud.” 1 have no sympathy with such behavior or such absurd demonstration or with much that we hear uttered in regard to departure from this life to the next. There is a common-sensical idea on this subject that you and 1 need to consider, that there are only two styles of departure. A thousand feet underground, by light of torch toiling in a miner's shaft, a ledge of rock may fall upon us, and we may die a miner’s death. Far out at sea, falling from the slippery rat lines and broken on the halyards, we may die a sailor's death. On mission of mercy in hospital amid broken bones and reeking leprosies and rag ing fevers we may die a philanthro pist's death. On the field of battle, serving God and our country, slugs through the heart, the gun carriage may roll over us. and we may die a patriot's death. But after all there are only two styles of departure, the death of the righteous and of the wicked, and we all want, to die the former. I.ant Flours on Karth. Gordon Hall, jar from h imp, dying in tne door of a heathen temple, said, “Glory to thee, O God!” What did dy ing Wllberforce say to his wife? “Come and sit bfside ine and let us talk of heaven. I never knew what happiness was until I found Christ.” What did dying Hannah More say? "To go to Jieaven, think what that is! To go to Christ, who died that i might, live! Oh. glorious grave! Oh, what a glori ous thing it is to die! Oh. the love 1 of Christ, the love of Christ!” What did Mr. Toplady, the great hvmrimak er, say in his last hour? “Who can , measure the depth of the third heav en? Oh. the sunshine that fills my , soul! 1 shall soon be gone, for surely no one can live here after such glories as God has manifested to my soul.” What did the dying Janeway say? “I can as easily die as close my eyes or turn my head in sleep. Before a few hours have passed I shall stand on Mount Zion with the one hundred and forty and four thousand and with the just men made perfect, and we shall ascribe riches and honor and glory and majesty and dominion unto God and the I.amb.” l)r. Taylor, con demned to burn at the stake, on his way thither broke away from the guardsmen and went bounding and leaping and jumping toward the fire, glad to go to Jesus and to die for him. Sir Charles Hare in his last moment had such rapturous vision that he cried, "Upward, upward, upward!” And so great was the peace of one of i Christ's disciples that he put his fingers upon the pulse in his wrist and eount | ed it and observed its halting beats until his life had ended here to begin in heaven. But grander than that was the testimony of the wornout first mis sionary, when in the Mamartine dun geon he cried: "I am now ready to be ; offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 1 have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have I Veut the faith. Henceforth there if mill up for me a crown or righteous ness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me In that day, and not to me only, hut to all them that love his appearing!" Do you not see that Christ is above all In dying al leviations? Toward the last hour of our earthly residence we are speeding. When 1 see the spring blossoms scattered. 1 say, "Another season gone forever.' When I close the Bible on Sabbath night I say, "Another Sabbath depart ed." When 1 bury a friend. I say, "An oher earthly attraction gone forever." What nimble feet the years have! 'The roebucks and the lightnings run not so fast. From decade to decade, from sky to sky, they go at a bound. There is a place for us, v^hethcr marked or not, where you and 1 will sleep the last sleep, and men are now living who will, with solemn tread, carry us to our resting place. Brighter than a banqueting hall through which the light feet of the dancers go up and [ down to the sound of trumpeters will be the sepulcher through whose rifts the holy light of heaven streameth. God will watch you. He will send his angels to guard your slumbering ground, until at Christ's behest, they shall roll away the stone. So also Christ is above all in hea ven. The Bible distinctly says that Christ is the chief theme of the celes tial ascription.all the thrones facing his throne, all the palms waved before his face, all the crowns down at his feet. Cherubim to cherubim, seraphim to seraphim, redeemed spirit to redeemed spirit shall recite the Savior's earthly sacrifice. i ne i.ioni'i or Heaven. Stand on some high hill of heaven, and in all the radiant sweep the most glorious object will be Jesus. Myriads gazing on the stars of his suffering, iu silence first, afterward breaking forth into acclamation. The martyrs, all the purer for the flame through which they passed, will say. "This is Jesus, for whom we died." The apostles, all the happier for the ship wreck and the scourging through which they went, will say. “This is the Jesus whom we preached at Corinth and in Cappadocia and Antioch and at Jerusalem. ’ Little children clad in white will say, "This is the Jesus who took us in his arms and blessed us and when the storms of the world were too cold and loud brought us into this beautiful place.” The multitudes of the bereft will say, "This is the Jesus who comforted us when our heart broke." Many who had wandered clear off from God and plunged into vagabondism, but were saved by grace, will say: "This is Jesus who pardoned us. We were lost on the mountains, and he brought us home. We were guilty, and he made us white as snow. Mercy boundless, grace unparalleled. And then, after each one has recited his peculiar deliverances and peculiar mercies, recited them as by solo, all the voices will come together in a great chorus which shall make the arches re-echo with the eternal rever beration of gladness and peace and triumph. Edward I was so anxious to go to the Holy Land that when he was about to expire he bequeathed $100,U00 to have his heart after his decease taken and deposited in the Holy Laud, and his request was complied with. Hut there are hundreds today whose hearts are already in the holy land of heaven. Where your treasures are, there are your hearts also. John Bttnyan, ot whom I spoke at the opening of the discourse, caught a glimpse of that place, and in his quaint way he said, "And I heard in my dream, and, lo, the bells of the city rang again for joy, and as they opened the gates to let in the men 1 looked in after them, and, lo, the city shone like the sun, and there were streets of gold, and men walked on them, harps in their hands to sing praises with all, and after that they shut up the gates, which when I had seen I wished myself among them!” IMfrkffl l*y tl»** Cyeloii**. You no doubt have heard of cyclones blowing feathers off chickens or pos sibly you may have witnessed the op eration, but whether you have or not it is a fact that cycldnes are sometimes chicken pickers, as well a., the pickers of other things. Well, an ingenious German, with a devastating cyclone for his model, has invented a machine that creates cyclones to order, while you wait, for chicken picking purpos es. His cyclones are inconsiderable in size, but very intense in their field o! action, which is large enough to em brace a Shanghai rooster. You take the rooster or other fowl to him, lie touches a button, and before you can wink twice every feather is off the bird.

Implies more passion." it is "love that grows out of relationship ": it is "self-interested love"; it is personal love! it is love that longs for. craves its object. "It is rela tionship-love. longing-love." "God's chil dren are commanded to have friendship love (agapan) for their "neighbors" (Matt. 5:43; Gal. 3:I4> and for their ‘enemies’ (Matt. 3:141, because love does not go out in those directions instinctively, but must be given unselfishly, and of deliberate choice. Vet tlie saints are enjoined to have a feeling of family-love t philein) for their Lord if. Cor. 16 22) and for one another In the household of faith (Tit. 3:15). But Jesus is said to give a pure and unselfish friendship-love (agapan) to Mary and Martha and their brother La zarus, In the home so deur to him at Bethany (John 11:5). God Is said to be moved by unselfish friend-ship love (aga pan) toward the world, in the gift of his Son (John 3:16). But Jesus says that the Father loves as with a feeling of family love (philein) those who have com** into Ids inner family* circle through love for Ids Son (John 16:27). In the Interview' of Jesus with Peter, on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, after the resurrection (John 21:15-1!)). Jesus asks Peter if he gives him friendship-love (agapan) more truly than the other disciples, as Peter had asserted that he was randy to do. Peter, remem bering his denial Hr his Lord, replies that Jesus knows that he gives him longing love (philein) The second time Jesus asks Peter if tie can claim to give hint any measure of friendship-love (agupni) apart from all comparison with others. Again Pet# r affirms that the Lord knows that he gives him a longing-love (phi lein).

Compare Peter’s restoration with the hopeless loss of Judas. For Peter s sin was hut an eddy in the stream of an earnest and true character, while Judas’ sin was th# main stream and tide of his life "If I could paint u portrait of Peter. I would write on every hair of his head, forgiveness of sins." Luther. Peter was riot only permarn ntly chang ed for the hotter by his experience, but he uses this experience In urging others to escape the snare into which he had fallen (f. Peter 3:15; 5:6-10). The contrast between Peter’s experience In Ida youth ami in his old age is one common In Christian experience, a con trast between doing and suffering, be tween active, energetic service of the Lord and the patient endurance of his cross. Both are involved in following Christ.—Abbott.

Andrick is now 67 years or age. Mr. Andrick served . through the whole of the Civil War. He was wounded, three times by ball, and twice by bayonet. When he entered the service of his country In 1861, he was hale and hearty, and weighed 198 pounds. Since the close of the War however, Mr. Andrick has had very bad health. For fifteen years, he never lay down In bed for over an hour nt a time. He had acute Kidney Trouble, which grew Into Bright's Disease. His heart, also, troubled him very much. On Oct. 18th, 1900, he was weighed, and weighed only 102 pounds, being but a shadow of his former self. He commenced using Dodd’s Kidney Pills on the 26th of last December, and on Feb. 20th was again weighed, and weighed 146 pounds. He says: "I have spent hundreds of dollars and received no benefit, until on the 26th of December last, I pure based one box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I am cured, and I am free from any pain. My heart’s action Is completely re stored. I have not the slightest trace of the Bright's Disease, and I can sleep well all night. 1 was considered a hopeless case by everybody, but to day I am a well man, thanks to Dodd's Kidney Pills. “For the last sixteen years my wife has been In misery with bearing down pains, pains in the lower part of the abdomen and other serious ailments. When she saw what Dodd's Kidney Pills were doing for me she com menced to use them. She now feels like another woman, her pains have all disappeared and her general health is better than it has been for years. “She is so taken up with Dodd's Kidney Pills and what they have done ^ for us that she has gone to Mr, Corn wall’s Drug Store and bought them for some of her friends for fear that if they went themselves they might make a mistake and get something else.” There is something very convincing in the honest simple story of this old' veteran and his wife. Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only Remedy that ever cured Bright's Dis ease, Diabetes or Dropsy. They never fail. The Ilelle* Came. Bv way of a joke some one recently sent to a New York society belle a full grown camel. The young woman promptly accepted the gift, which ev ery evening after the theater crowds have dispersed is led by a colored ser vant up and down Broadway for ex ercise. For the first night or two not a few revelers were startled into tem - porary sobriety at sight of the un gainly animal swinging along the road way.
