The fifth of an eitraordinarv series
of weddings has just been celebrated
in Paradise Valley, near Oroville, Cal.
The first was that of Johr Weer. a
Cornish widower with four good look

wedded Mrs. Malarin. a French widow
with four sons. The boys and girls
have now’ been all mated and the five
couples live under the same roof.
The experiments are for the purpose
of improving and perfecting bombs

consisting of sulphur, saltpetre, and
hydrocarbon, is a blue light mixture.
The illumination lasts as long as the
saltpetre supplies oxygen to maintain
combustion.

$200,000 on condition that the college
raise $300,000 during the present year.
As $150,000 of this is already pledged,
there seems to be no doubt that the
college wil claim the gift before Janu

stockholders of that institution placed
in control of their property a man
who is today the youngest bank presi

only as president of a national bank In
the financial center of the continent,
but also as the secretary of the New

Russia has decided that it wants the
American bicycle, having tired of the
more clumsy English and German ar
ticle. Such are the comforting reports
received by the managers of the Amer
ican Bicycle company, which does
anuch of the exporting of American
machines. Russia finds more popular
use for the machine at a moderate
price than it has found heretofore, and
the many American-made machines
that travelers about Europe have seen
have convinced them of the superiority
of our machines over those of Euro
pean make. So there is an unusual de
mand this year, a fact which pleases
the American maker who finds the de
mand here falling off as compared with
that which existed when all America
was bicycle mad.
“Threatened men live long," some
times—when, for instance, they chance
to be criminals whose counsel are anx
ious to make a record. Almost ten
years ago a man in the state of Wash
ington was convicted of murder in the
first degree and sentenced to be
hanged. That sentence has been thrice
reaffirmed, but the man has not been
hanged yet. The state supreme court
and the i’nited States Supreme court
have had the case before them, in th°
form of exceptions and objections, dur
ing these ten years, and the con
demned man's attorney declares that
he has still "many cards to play.’’
Such attempts to “cheat t'>e gallows"
have the evil effect of arousing against
a convict a sentiment which is not
easily to be distinguished from vin
dictiveness.

“He That Obeerveth the Wind Shall

of Conviction* a Primary Virtue In
Man—Be Bold for the Klght.
(Copyright. 1901. by I.ouls Klopsch, N. Y.)
Washington. June i3.—From a pas
sage of Scripture unobserved by most
readers Dr. Talmage in this discourse
shows the importance of prompt action
in anything we have to do for ourselves
or others; text, Ecclesiastes xl, 4, "He
that obeerveth tbe wind shall not
SOM,"
What do you find in this packed sen
! tence of Salomon's monologue? I find
j in it a farmer at his front door exam
| ining the weather. It is seedtime. His
I fields have been plowed and harrowed,
i The wheat is in the barn in sacks
ready to be taken afield and scattered.
; Now is the time to sow. But the wind
■ is not favorable. It may blow up a
! storm before night, and he may get
wet if he starts out for the sowing; or
it may be a long storm, that will wash
out the seed from the soil; or there
may have been a long drought, and the
wind may continue to blow dry weath
er. The parched fields may not take
in the grain, and the birds may pick
it up, and the labor as well as the seed
may be wasted. So he gives up the
work for that day and goes into the
house and waits to see what it will be
on the morrow. On the morrow the
wind is still in the wrong direction,
and for a whole week and for a month.
Did you ever see such a long spell of
bad weather? The lethargic and over
cautious dilatory agriculturist allows
the season to pass without sowing, and
no sowing, of course, no harvest. That
is what Solomon means when he says
in his text, “He that observeth the
wind shall not sow.”
C'lisla Wa* Not Met.
There comes a dark Sabbath morning.
The pastor looks out of the window
and seas the clouds gather and then
discharge their burdens of rain. In
stead of a full church it will be a hand
ful of people with wet feet and drip
ping umbrellas at the doorway or the.
end of the pew. The pastor has pre
pared one of his best sermons. It has
cost him great research, and he has
been much in prayer while preparing
it. He puts the sermon aside for a clear
day and talks platitudes and goes
home quite depressed, hut at the same
time ieeling that he has done his duty.
He did not realize that in that small
audience there were at least two per
sons who ought to have had better
treatment. One of those hearers was
a man in a crisis of struggle with evil
appetite. A carefully prepared dis
course under the divine blessing would
nave been to him complete victory.
Tue fires of sin would have been ex
tinguished, and his keen and brilliant
mind would have been consecrated to
the gospel ministry, and he would
have been a mighty evangel, and tens
of thousands of souls would have, un
der the spell of his Christian eloquence
given up sin and started a new life,
and throughout all the heavens there
would have been congratulation and
hosanna, and after many ages of eter
nity had passed there would he celebra
tion among the ransomed of what was
accomplished one stormy Sunday in a
church on eartli under a mighty gos
pel sermon delivered to 15 or 20 people.
But the crisis I speak of was not prop
erly met. The man in struggle with
evil habit heard that stormy day no
word that moved him. He went out in
the rain uninvited and unhelped back
to his evil way and down to his over
throw. Had it been a sunshiny Sabbath
he would have heard something worth
hearing. Hut the wind blew from a
stormy direction that Sabbath day. That
gospel husbandman noticed it and act
ed upon its suggestion and may dis
cover some day his great mistake. He
had a sack full of the finest of the
wheat, but he withheld it, and some
day lie will find, when the whole story
is told, that he was a vivid illustration
of the truth of my text, "He that ob
serveth the wind shall not sow."
Con ray i* of Conviction.
Communities and churches and na
tions sometimes are thrown Into hys
teria, and it requires a man of great
equipoise to maintain a right position.
Thirty-three years ago there came a
time of bitterness In American politics,
and the impeachment of the president
of the United States was demanded.
Two or three patriotic men, at the risk
i of losing their senatorial position,
stood out against the demand of their
political associates and saved the coun
try from that which all people of all
parties now see would have been a ca
lamity and would have put every sub
sequent president at the mercy of his
opponents. It only required the waiting
i of a few months, when time itself re
moved all controversy.
"Let us ha.e war with England if
needs be," said the most of the people
of our northern states In 1861, when
Mason and Slidell, the distinguished
southerners, had been taken by oar
navy from the British steamer Trent
and the English government resented
the act of our government in stopping
I one of their ships. "Give up those
prisoners," said Great Britain. ‘ No,"
I said the almost unanimous opinion r!
• the nortn. "Do not give them up. Let
I i s have war with England rather than
. surrender them.” Then Wi liam 11.
i Eeward, secretary of state, faced one
■ of the fiercest storms of public opinion
■ ever seen in this or any other country.
. Seeing that the retention of those two
i men was of no importance to our coun
i try and that their retention would put
Great Britain and the United States in
i ! to Immediate conflict, he said, "We
give them up.” They were given up,
and through the resistance of popular
clamor by that one man a world-wide
calamity was averted.

The only result of such interference
would have been the sacrifice of all
good precedent and war with European
nations. Then Daniel Webster, in his
immortal "Hulsemann lettter,” braved
a whirlwind of popular opinion and
saved this nation from useless foreign
entanglement. Webster did not observe
the wind when he wrote that letter. So
in state and church there have always
been men at the right time ready to
face a nation full—yea, a world full—
of opposition.

How many there aie who give too
much time to watching the weather

Make up your mind what you are going

There always will be hindrances. It Is
a moral disaster if you allow prudence
to overmaster all the other graces.
The Bible makes more of courage and
faith and perseverance than it does of
caution. It is not once a year that the
great ocean steamers fail to sail at the
appointed time because of the storm
signals. Let the weather bureau pro
phesy what hurricane or cyclone it
may, next Wednesday, next Thursday,
next Saturday, the steamers will put
out from New York and Philadelphia
and Boston harbors and will reach
Liverpool and Southampton and Glas

not afford to consult the wind, nor
can you in your life voyage.
The grandest and best things ever

Make Opportunities.
Young man, you have planned what
you are going to be and do in the
world, but you are waiting for
circumstances to become more favor
able. You are like the farmer in the
text, observing the wind. Better start
now. Obstacles will help you if you
conquer them. Cut your way through.
Peter Cooper, the millionaire philan
thropist, who will bless all succeeding
centuries with the institution he
founded, worked for five years for $23
a year and his board. Henry Wilson,
the Christian statesman who com
manded the United States senate with
the gavel of the vice presidency, wrote
of his early days: "Want sat by my
cradle. I know what it is to ask
a mother for bread when she hes nene j
to give. I left my home at ten years !
of age and served an apprenticeship !
of eleven years, receiving a month’s
schooling each year, and at the end of i
eleven years of hard work a yoke of j
oxen and six sheep, which brought !
me $84. In the first month after I was
21 years of age l went into the woods,
drove a team and cut mill logs. I ;
arose in the morning before daylight |
and worked hard till after dark and !
received the magnificent sum of $6 for
the month’s work. Each of those iol- |
lars looked as largo to me as the moon !
looks tonight.’’ Wonderful Henry Wil- i
son! But that was not his original
name. He changed his name because j
he did not want on him the blight of a
drunken father. As the vice president
stood in my pulpit in Brooklyn, mak
ing the last address he ever made,and
commended the religion of Christ to
the young men of that city, I thought
to myself, "You yourself are the sub
limcst spectacle I ever saw of victory
over obstacles." For thirty years the
wind blew the wrong way, yet he did
; not observe the wind, but kept right
on sowing.
Orff Your Antagnnt«t*.
The Earl of Alsatia, a favorite of
i Edward III. of England, hud excited
; the jealousy of other courtiers, and
j one time, while the king was absent,
[ they persuaded the queen to turn a
j lion loose In the court to test the
I earl's courage. The earl, rising at
break of day, as was his custom, came
into the courtyard and met the lion,
and the jealous courtiers from the
j windows watched the scene. The lion,
■ with bristling hair and a growl, was
ready to spring upon the ear! when
he, undaunted, shouted to the monster,
“Stand, you dog!” Then the lioa
couched, and the earl took it by tin
mane and turned it back into the cage,
j leaving his handkerchief on the neck
i of the monster, and, looking up in tri
umph to the Jealous courtiers, who he
' knew were watching from the win
; dows, cried out, "Let him among you
! all that prideth himself on his pedigree
go and fetch that handkerchief.” And
you, young man, will find a lion in
your way. perhaps turned loose by the
jealousy of those who would enjoy
your ruin. But In the strength of God
j make that lion couch. By God’s he p
I you can do it and defy and cha'lenge
; your antagonists. The Earl of Alsatia
conquered the lion by stoutness of
voice and the glare of eye, but you
may overcome the lion with the prof
fered strength of aa almighty arm and
an almighty foot, for God hath prom
ised: "Thou shall tread upon the lion
and adder. The young lion and the
dragon shalt thou trample under feet.”
Columbus, by calculation, made up

not by calculation, but by observation,
that there is a great success for you
somewhere to balance your great
struggle. Do not think that your case
is peculiar. The most favored have

Whether tn your life it is a south
wind, or a north wind, a west wind or
an east wind that is now blowing,
do you not feel like Faying: "This
whole subject I now decide. Lord God,
through thy Son, Jesus Christ, my Sa
vior, I am thine forever. I throw
myself, reckless of everything else,
into the fathomless ocean of thy
mercy.”
■ But,” says some one in a frvolous
and rollicking way, "I am not like the
farmer you find in your text. 1 do not
watch the wind. What do I care about
the weather vane? I am sowing now.”
What are you sowing, my brother?
Are you sowing evil habits? Are you
sowing infidel and atheistic beliefs?
Are you sowing hatreds, revenges, dis
contents, unclean thoughts or unclean
actions? If so, you will raise a big
crop—a very big crop. The farmer
sometimes plants things that do not
come up. and he has to plant them
over again. But those evil things that
you have planted will take root and
come up in harvest of disappointment,
in harvest of pain, in harvest of
despair, in harvest of fire. Go
right through some of .lie unhappy
homes of Washington and New York
and all the cities, and through the hos
pitals and penitentiaries, and you will
find stacked up, piled together, the
sheaves of such an awful harvest.
Hosea, one of the first of all the writ
ing prophets, although four of the
other prophets are put before him in
the canon of Scripture, wrote an as
tounding metaphor that may be quoted
as descriptive of those who do evil:
“They have sown the wind, and they
shall reap the whirlwind.” Some one
has said, ‘‘Children may be strangled,
but deeds never.”
There are other persons who truth
fully say: “I am doing the best 1 can.
The clouds are thick and the wind
blows the wrong way, but 1 am sow
ing prayers and sowing kindness.s
and sowing helpfulness and sowing
hopes of a better world.” Good for
you, my brother, my sister! What you
plant, will come up. What you sow
will rise into a harvest the wealth of
which you will not know until you go
up higher. 1 hear the rustle of your
harvest in the bright fields of heaven.
The soft gales of that land, as they
pass, bend the full headed gr$.in in
curves of beauty. It Is golden In the
light of a sun that never sets. As
you pass in you will not have to gird
on the sickle for the reaping.and there
will be nothing to remind you of
weary husbandmen toiling under hot
summer sun on earth and lying down
under the shadow of the tree at noon
tide, so tired were they, so very tired.
No, no; your harvest will be reaped
without any toil of your hands, with
out any besweating of your brow.
Christ in one of his sermons told how
your harvest will be gathered when
he said, “The reapers are the angels.”
GROWTH OF OCEAN TRAVEL.
Ship* Now Carry from 123 to 225 Cabin
Paftienger*.
The marked increase in the volume
of ocean steamship travel of late years
has occasioned extended comment
among agents of trans-Atlantic lines.
It is said that many Americans make
six or more trips a year to the other
side, where formerly they did not
cross at all. Englishmen and Germans
who are engaged in the manufactur
ing trades, industrials and even food
raising, visit this side much oftener
now. Quite a few’ come to look around
with an idea of ascertaining how
Americans have made such gigantic
commercial strides in such a short
time, but the great majority, realizing
the necessity for adopting American
methods where practicable, come here
to purchase machinery and the like
without which it would be impossible
for them to copy Yankee thrift and in
dustry. Not nearly so common on the
ocean ships as he was five or ten years
ago is the English ranchman hound
for the far west. He is now in the
mining or engineering business in
Mexico and Central America, although
there are still many Ilrltons engaged
in the cattle raising business out west
and throughout Canada. Some of the
older vessels of our line shipped a
large number of mules and horses that
were sent to South Africa from New
Orleans for English army service. It
was surprising to discover what a big
percentage of these animals came from
the ranches of Englishmen who had
settled in the north and west Where
ships in the past w'ere satisfied with
sixty or seventy-five rabin passenge.s
each trip at this season they are carry
ing fsom 125 to 225 now, if not one
way, certainly the other. The number
of buyers who are contsantly on the
deep has become enormous. Naturally
Canada has benefited by this eagerness
to patronize American methods and
manufactures and she is sending
drummers abroad. The ideal drum
mers’ lair is no longer the American
Pullman car, but the smoking saloon
of the big trans-Atlantic liner.
The magistrate should obey the

26. And God said, Let ns make man In
our image, after our likeness; and let
them have dominion over tile fish of the
sea, and over the fowl of the air, and
over the cattle, and over nil the earth,
and over every creeping thing that creep*
eth upon the earth.
27. So God created man in ills own im
age. in the image of God created he
him; male and female created he them.
28. And God blessed them, and God said
unto them, Be fruitful and multiply, and
replenish the earth, and subdue It; and
have dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air, and over
every living thing that tnoveth upon the

29. And God said. Behold. I have given
you every herb bearing seed, which Is
upon the face of all the earth, and every
tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree
yielding seed; to you it shall be for
meat.
30. And of every heist of the earth, and
to every fowl of the air. and to every
thing that creepeth upon the earth,
wherein there Is life, I have given every

31. And God saw everything that lie

And the evening and the morning Wert,

The Book of Genesis.—The author of
Genesis as we have it now Is unknown.
It Is mo.-e than probable that Moses
wrote a greater or lesser portion from
ancient documents, though it is not so
stated in the book itself. The history in
Genesis closes at least a century before
Moses. Professor Sayve says that the
monuments show "not only that Moses
could have written the Pentateuch (not
Including "later revisions and the addi
tion of edltotlal notes’), but that It would
have been something like a miracle if he
had not done so.” The Date.—The docu
ments or narratives incorporated into the
history were doubtless very ancient, "co
eval, or nearly so, with the events nar
rated." long before Moses. Whatever
Moses wrote embodying these documents
must have been written thirteen hundred
to fifteen hundred years before Christ.
Scholars who find two or three separate
narratives find them written, one not
later than 750 B.C., and another 725-625 B.
f\, hut the whole not interwoven com
pletely till lat-r still, and completed
about 450 B. C. In the time of Ezra arid
Kehemiah. In any case there must have i
hern recensions and almost retransla
tiors, so that they could keen pace with I
the changes in language during more
than a thousand years, as has been done
with our English Bible. Compare ti) •
editions of Spenser’s “Faerie Queene"

brew, which, like every living language,
grew and changed us time went on. The
Literary Structure.—If we throw aside
our artificial divisions Into chapters, we
will notice that the author has arranged
the book In chapters of his own. Ills
first chapter, beginning at (ho beginning,
needs no chapter title <l:l-2:3). "The gen
erations of the heavens and of the earth"
Is the title of his second chapter, begin
ning with 2:4. "The hook of the genera
tions of Adam," from 5 to 6:8. "The
generations of Noah," giving the history
of Noah's family till his death, from 6:3
to end of 9. There are twelve of these
chapters. The book naturally falls Into
two divisions. The first division Includes
the first eleven chapters, according (o
our chapter divisions. This may be railed
the first hook of Genesis, the story of the
early world, cm lstlng of seven of his
chapters, and carries the history of the
win Id down to Abraham. The second
buik if Genesis, (he beginning of the
Jewish nations. Including the r st of the
hock, and is divided into five chapters.
It begins with Abr, ham. the founder of
the .1 wish liatl n and continues through
the history o" the tw elve patriarchs. I ha

Curin')* Error In Tr inflation.
Dr. Edward Everett Hale tells how
a curious error crept into the trans

Delaware Indian tongue. The Engiibh
translator had as an assistant an In

The New York board of education
has put an end to favoritism in pub
lic schools. Well-to-do pupils were
in the habit of making presents to
teachers, while poor children could
not afford to do so. Under the new
system no one is permitted to give
teacher anything, except at teacher's
home, and even then the gifts must
be anonymous.
The Proper Distinction.
When asked the other day as to the
question he raised concerning^ the
syntactical number of the United
States, ex-Secretary John W. Foster
said: “1 think, after all, the best
answer is that of the cartoonist: ‘Be
tween ourselves the United States are
plural, but between ourselves and any
other nation the United States is sin
gular.’ ”

Rockbridge, Mo., June 24th:—The
neighborhood and particularly the
members of Rockbridge Lodge, No.
436, A. F. & A. M., are feeling very
much pleased over the recovery of Mr. I
Ambrose McKay, a prominent citizen
and an honored member of the Mason
ic Fraternity.
Mr. McKay had been suffering for
years with Diabetes and Rheumatism,
which recently threatened to end his
days. His limbs were so filled with,
pain that he could not sleep. He was
Very bad.
Just then, someone suggested a new
remedy—Dodds Kidney Pills—which
has been much advertised recently, as
a cure for Bright's Disease, Diabetes,
Dropsy, Rheumatism and Kidney
Trouble.
After Mr. McKay had used a few
doses he commenced to improve. His
pain all left him, and he Is almost as
well as ever. He says Dodd's Kidney
Pills are worth much more than they
cost. They are certainly getting a great
reputation in Missouri, and many very
startling cures are being reported.
