The custom dates back about 1,200 years. Canoe-building is one of the indus tries of Kennebunkport, Me., which used to build great ships, and even now launches an occasional schooner. A runaway horse in Denver the other day finished a flight by landing in the interior of a rapidly moving trolley car, where he rode for nearly a block before the vehicle could be stopped. There are six surviving governors ot New York—Cornell, elected in 1879; Cleveland, elected in 1882; Hill, first elected in 1885; Morton, elected in 1894; Black, elected in 1896. and Roose velt, elected in 1898. Three of the six, after having been governor, attained honors in the field of national polities —Cleveland as president, Hill as sen ator. and Roosevelt as vice president. Mr. Justice Brown of the Supreme court, once said, in addressing a class of young lawyers, that a verdict of a jury in a criminal case is a decision not upon the question whether the man on trial is guilty or not. but upon the question whether he shall be pun ished or not. An importaut distinc tion. It shows the element of human interest, independent of legal subtle ties, which the jury system secures. An atrocious murder was committed recently at Puy-Saint Gulmier. near Clermont-Ferrand. France.. A young man of twenty-seven. named Jean Baptiste Gometon. after shooting at his father with a rifle, followed him into the street, and in the presence of the neighbors chopped off his head with a hatchet. Jealousy was the cause of the crime, as l>oth father and son were in love with the same woman. An order lias been given for the erection of a monument to Jennie Wade on the battle field of Gettysburg. Jennie Wade was a young Iowa wom an who was visiting at the home of her sister in Gettysburg when the bat tle began. Her fiance was in the Union army, and was killed.. She and her sister were in a large brick house almost within the Union lines. On the morning of the third day word came to the house that many of the soldiers were suffering far want of food, and the women set about mak ing biscuits and bred for the soldiers. Jennie was engaged in this task when a musket ball went through the kitch en, killing the young woman. At the beginning of the new fiscal year the pneumatic tubes which have been employed in the postal service of New York. Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Boston went out of operation, and the mail wagon has taken their place. This looks like a step Backward. It is prob ably only temporary. Congress seems to have refused to continue the ap propriation solely on account of its unwillingness to foster a private monopoly. Doubtless a pneumatic tube service built ard owned by the gov ernment will yet be established and maintained in all large cities, although several Ingenious rival contrivances for doing the same work deserve con sideration before a final decision is made. The Crandall toy works of Pennsyl vania have bought a large tract of lumber and mineral land in North Georgia, a short distance from Chat tanooga. The company is having a railroad line built through the center of this tract. In the centre of the tract the company will erect a town of its own. A large factory will he built at this point, and houses for the workmen. The town whl be built and operated after the manner of Pull man, 111. Surveyors are at work sur veying branch lines of railroad through the tract. Coal mines will be opened and fuel and raw material will he supplied in abundance to operate one of the greatest toy concerns in America. A French writer, Henri Coupi.1, says that the fact that, notwithstanding their simplicity, the songs of the birds cannot bo imitated with musical in struments arises from the impossibil ity of reproducing their peculiar timbre. The notes of birds, while cor responding with our musical t'cale. also include vibrations occupying the intervals between our notes. The dur ation of birds' songs is usually very short, two or three seconds for thushes and chaffinches, four or five seconds for blackcaps, but from two to five minutes for the lark. Monsieur Cou pin remarks that while one in every ten species of European birds is tune ful, the proportion diminishes to only one in a thousand among the gor geously clad birds of the tropics. Mary Clark, who had spent most of her 75 years in one of the cotton mills of Manchester, N. H., died last week as the result of the extreme heat. Miss Clark was supposedto have had a little money laid by, but a superficial search brought to light only four |5 bills. In looking about the room a policeman picked up a pair of corsets. They were suspiciously heavy, and he ripped them open and found $S30. The money weighed 3V>pounds. Miss Clark had worn the 'orset In the mill every day, being afraid to trust her savings to the oanks TALMAGE’S SEltilON. FALSE NOTIONS ABOUT REAL RELIGION CORRECTED. “Of SpIrM Great Abundance; Neither Wee There Any Such Spice a* the Qneen of Sheba Gave King Solomon.'' II Chronicle* IX: 9. [Copyright. 1901. by Louis Klopsch, N. Y.] Washington, Aug. 4.—In this dis course Dr. Talmage corrects come of the false notions about religion and represents it as being joy inspiring in stead of dolorous. Text II. Chronk-les ix., 9: “Of spices great abundance; neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave King Solo mon." What is that building out yonder glittering in the sun? Have you not heard? It is the house of the forest of I,ebanon. King Solomon has just taken to it his bride, the princess of Egypt. You see the pillars of the por tico and a great tower, adorned with 1,000 shields of gold hung on the out side of the tower—500 of the shields of gold manufactured at Solomon’s or der, 500 were captured by David, his father, in battle. See how they blaze in the noonday sun! Solomon goes up the Ivory stairs o' his throne between twelve lions in statuary and sits down on the back of the golden bull, the head of the huge beast turned toward the people. The family and the attendants of the king are so many that the caterers of the palace have to provide every day 100 sheep and thirteen oxen, besides the birds and the venison. I hear the stamping and pawing of 4,000 fine horses in the royal stables. There | were important officials who had charge of the work of gathering the straw and the barley for these horses. King Solomon was an early riser, tra dition says, and used to take a ride out at daybreak, and when, in his white apparel, behind the swiftest horses of all the realm and followed by ! mounted archers in purple, as the cavalcade dashed through the streets of Jerusalem I suppose it was some- ; thing worth getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning to look at. Seatng for Oneaelf. Queen Balkis was so pleased with the acuteness of Solomon that she said. “I’ll just go and see him for myself.” Yondon it comes—the cavalcade— horses and dromedaries, chariots and charioteers, jingling harness and clat tering hoofs and blazing shields and flying ensigns and clapping cymbals. The place is saturated with the per fume. She brings cinnamon and saf fron and calamus and frankincense and all manner of sweet spices. As I the retinue sweeps through the gate the armed guard inhales the aroma. "Halt!” cry the charioteers, as the 1 wheels grind the gravel in front of the pillared portico of the king. Queen Balkis alights in an atmosphere be witched with perfume. As the drom edaries are driven up to the king's storehouses, and the bundles of cam phor are unloaded, and the sacks of cinnamon and the boxes of spices are opened, the purveyors of the palace discover what my text announces: “Of spices, great abundance; neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.” Well, my friends, you know that all theologians agree in making Solomon a type of Christ and in making the queen of Sheba a type of every truth seeker, and I will take the responsi bility of saying that all the spikenard and cassia and frankincense which the queen of Sheba brought to King Solo- ] mon are mightily suggestive of the sweet spices of our holy religion. Christianity is not a collection of sharp technicalities and angular facts and chronological tables and dry sta tistics. Our religion is compared to frankincense and to cassia, but never to nightshade. It is a bundle of myrrh. It is a dash of holy light. It is a sparkle of cool fountains. It is an opening of opaline gates. It is a col lection of spices. Would God that we were as wise in taking spices to our Divine King as Queen Balkis was wise in taking the spices to the earthly Sol omon. Christ firing* i h«erfnines*. How any woman keeps house with out the religion of Christ to help her is a mystery to me. To have to spend the greater part of one's life, as many women do, in planning for the meals and stitching garments that will soon be rent again and deploring breakages and supervising tardy subordinates and driving off dust that soon again will settle and doing the same thing day in and day out and year in and year out until the hair silvers and the back stoops and the spectacles crawl to the eyes and the grave breaks open under the thin sole of the shoe—oh. It is a long monotony! Hut when Christ comes to the drawing room and comes to the kitchen and comes to the nur sery and comes to the dwelling, then how cheery become all womanly du ties! She is never alone now. Martha gets through fretting and joins Mary at the feet of Jessus. All day long Debora is happy because she can help I-apidoth, Hannah because she can make a coat for young Samuel, Miriam because she can watch her infant brother, Rachel because she can help her father water the stock, the widow of Sarepta because the cruse of oil is being replenished. O woman, hav ing in your pantry a nest of boxes con taining all kinds of condiments, why have you not tried In your heart and life the spiccry of our holy religion? "Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things, but one thing is needful, and Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not b ■ taken away from her." I must confess that a great deal of the religion of this day is utterly in sipid. There is nothing piquant or el evating about it. Men and women go around humming psalms In a minor I key and cultivating melancholy, and ! their worship has in it more sighs | than raptures. We do not doubt their piety. Oh. no! But they are sitting at I a feast where the cook has forgotten to season the food. Everything is flat in their experience and in their con versation. Emancipated from sin and death and hell and on their way to a magnificent heaven, they act as though they were trudging on toward an ever lasting Botany Bay. Religion does not seem to agree wdth them. It seems to catch in the windpipe and become a tight strangulation instead of an ex hilaration. All the infidel books that have been written, from Voltaire down fo Herbert Spencer, have not done so much damage to our Christianity as lugubrious Christians. rat In Mors Spire*. I have to say also that we need to put more spice and enlivenment in our religious teaching, whether it be in the prayer meeting or in the Sunday school or in the church. We minis ters ne.-d more fresh air and sunshine in our lungs and our heart and our head. Do you wonder that the world is so far from being converted when you find so litle vivacity in the pulpit and in the pew? We want, like the Lord, to plant in our sermons and ex hortations more lilies of the field. We want fewer rhetorical elaborations and fewer sesquipedalian words, and when we talk about shadows we do not want tosayadumbration,and when we mean queerness wo do not want to talk about idiosyncrasies, or if a stitch in the back we do not want to talk about lumbago; but, in the plain ver nacular of the great masses, preach that gospel which proposes to make all men happy, honest, victorious and free. In other words, we want more cinnamon and less gristle. Let this be so in all the different departments of work to which the Lord calls us. Let us be plain. Let us be earnest. Let us be common sensical. When we talk to the people in a vernacular they can understand, they will be very glad to come and received the truth we present. Would to God that Queen Balkis wrould drive her spice laden dromedaries into all our sermons and prayer meeting exhortations! More than that, we want more life and spice in our Christian work. The poor do not want so much to be groaned over as sung to. With the bread and medicines and garments you give them let there be an accompani ment of smiles and brisk encourage ment. Do not stand and talk to them about the wretchedness of their abode, and the hunger of their looks, and the hardness of their lot. Ah, they know it better than you can tell them. Show them the bright side of the thing, if there be any bright side. Tell them good times will come. Tell them that for the children of God there is im mortal rescue. Wake them up out of their stolidity by an inspiring laugh, and while you send in help, like the queen of Sheba, also send in the spices. There are two ways of meet ing the poor. One is to come into their house with a nose elevated in disgust, as much as to say: ‘T don’t see how you live here in this neighborhood. It actually makes me sick. There is that Dandle. Take it, you poor, miserable j wretch, and make the most of it." An- i other way is to go into the abode of 1 the poor in a manner which seems to j say: ‘‘The blessed Lord sent me. He j was poor himself. It is not more for the good I am going to try to do you than it is for the good that you can do me.” Coming in that spirit, the gift will be as aromatic as the spikenard on the feet of Christ, and all the hovels on that alley will be fragrant with the spice. Singing; at a Religion* Duty. I promise a high spiritual blessing to any one who will sing in church and who will sing so heartily that the people all around cannot help but sing. Wake up, all the churches from Ban gor to San Francisco and across Christendom! It is not a matter of preference. It is a matter of religious duty. Oh, for fifty times more the volume of sound than has ever yet rolled up from our churches! Ger man chorals in German cathedrals sur pass us, and yet Germany has received nothing at tne hands of God compared with America. And ought the ac claim in Germany be louder than that of America? Soft, long drawn out music is appropriate for the drawing room and appropriate for the concert, but St. John gives un idea of the sonorous and resonant congregational" singing appropriate for churches when in listening to the temple service of , heaven he says: “I hear a great I voice as the voice of a great i multitude, and as the voice of j many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings. Halleluiah, for the Ixml God omnipotent reigneth!” Join with me in a crusade, giving mo not only your hearts, but the mighty uplifting of your voices, and I j believe we can through Christ’s grace sing 5,000 souls into the kingdom of i Christ. An argument they can laugh j at, a sermon they may talk down, but i a 5,000-voiced utterance of praise to j God is Irresistible. Would that Queen Balkis would drive all her spice-laden dromedaries into our church music! Tli« for Sorrow. Why did you look so sad this morn ing when you came in? Alas, for the loneliness and the heartbreak and the load that is never lifted from your soul! Some of you go about feeling like Macaulay when he wrote, “if I had another month of such days as 1 have been spending, I would be im patient to get flown into my little, nar row crib in the ground, like a weary factory child." And there have been times in your life when you wished you could get out of this lite. You have said, "Oh, how sweet to my lips would be the dust of the valley!” and wished you could pull over you In your iast slumber the coverlet of green grass and daisies. You have said: "Ob, how beautifully quiet it must be in the tomb! I wish I was there.” I see all around about me widow hood and orphanage and childlessness; sadness, disappointment, perplexity. If I could ask all those in any audience who have felt no sorrow and been buf feted by no disappointment—if I could ask all such to rise, how many would rise? Not one. A widowed mother, with her little child, went west, hoping to get better wages there, and she was taken sick and died. The overseer of the poor got her body and put it In a box and put it in a wagon and started down the street toward the cemetery at full trot. The little child—the only child— ran after it through the streets bare headed, crying: "Bring me back my mother! Bring me back my mother!” And it was said that as the people looked on and saw her crying after that which lay In the box in the wagon, all she loved on earth—It Is said the whole village was in tears. And that Is what a great many of you are doing—chasing the dead. Dear Lord, is there no appeasement for all this sorrow that I see about me? Yes; the thought of resurrection and re union far beyond this scene of strug gle and tears. "They shall hunger no more, neither tiiirst any more, neither shall the sun light on them nor any heat, for the Lamb which is In tha midst of the throne shall lead them to living fountains of water, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.” Across the couches of your sick and across the graves of your dead I fling this shower of sweet spices. Queen Balkis, driving up t*J the pillared portico of the house ot cedar, carried no such pungency of per fume as exhales to-day from the Lord’s garden. It is peace. It is sweetness The Mott Magnificent Temple* Have you read of the Taj Mahal. In India, in some respects the most ma jestic building on earth? Twenty thousand men were twenty years in building it. It cost about $16,000,000. The walls are of marble inlaid with carnelian from Bagdad and turquoise from Tibet and jasper from the Pun jab and amethyst from Persia and all manner of precious stones. A traveler said that it seemed to him like the shining of the enchanted castle of burnished silver. The walls are 245 feet high, and from the top of these springs a dome 30 more feet high, that dome containing the most wonderful echo the world has ever known, so that ever and anon travelers standing below with flutes and drums and harps are testing that echo, and the sounds from below strike tip, and then come down, as it were, the voices of angels all around about the building. There is around it a garden of tamarind and banyan and palm and all the floral glories of the ransacked earth. But that is only p. tomb of a dead empress, and it is tame compared with the grand eurs which God has butlded for your living and immortal spirit. Oh, home of the biessed! Founda tions of gold! Arches of victory! Cap stones of praise! And a dome in which there are echoing and re-echoing the halleluiahs of the ages! And around about that mansion is a garden, the garden of God. and all the springing fountains are the bottled tears of the church in the wilderness and all the crimson of the flowers is the deep hue that was caught up from the carnage of earthly martyrdoms and the fra grance is the prayer of all the saints and the aroma puts into utter forget fulness the cassia and the spikenard and the frankincense and the world renowned spices which Queen Balkis of Abyssinia flung at the feet of King Solomon. When shall these eyes thy heaven built walls And pearly gates behold, Thy bulwarks, with salvation strong. And streets of shining gold? 1 -- Two I’nuenicer*’ Dlallke*. A lady of a truly masculine spirit, accompanied by a small poodle, is said to have failed sadly the other day in an attempted reformatory movement. She entered the smoking car of a suburban train and sternly refused, when approached by the conductor, to go into another car, observing that her presence would keep the other oc cupants from smoking. One thick skinned wretch, however, insensible to the claims of refinement and reform, began to enjoy his accustomed cigar, which was suddenly snatched from his lips with the remark in a high treble: “If there Is anything 1 do hate it Is tobacco smoking!” For a time the offender was motionless, then, gravely rising, amid the curiosity of the as sembled smokers, he took that little pooole out of the lady's lap and gently threw him through the window, sigh ing: “If there is anything I do hate it is a poodle.”— Chicago Tribune. Cunglii n Freak Lobster. Daniel Carpenter of the South Kerry recently caught in one of his lobster pots a freak lobster.

Golden Text—Thu HfTcctiml Horrent Prayer of • Rlghteoua Man Avulleth Much .la*. 3; IB—Abiahan'i Inter eeaalou. Place,—Abraham was In Hebron nl the Oaks of Mamre, in the environs of the city. Hot dwelt In Sodom. Time.—About 15 years after the last lesson. B. C. 1S97, according to t'ssher s dating. Abraham was 99 years old. His son Ishmael was 13 years old. I. Two Oriental Scenes.—One day the aged Abrgham, now 99 years old, was sit ting In his tent door among the Oaks of Mamre resting during the heat of the day, when suddenly, looking up, he saw three strangers near him. He immedi ately went to them ana welcomed them in the Oriental manner, and entertained them with the utmost hospitality. It was not long before he perceived, by what they said and did. that they were angels, and one of them was no less than thi Angel of the Lord, who had In some way appeared to him live times before. The whole scene is primitive and Oriental, and, in the words of Gelkle. "'presents a perfect picture of the manner In which n modern Beds wee Sheykh receives trav elers arriving at his encampment.” "Ab II. The Two Announcements of the Angels.—The tlrst announcement was that Sarah should have a son within a year, who was to be the heir of the promises, ana of the covenant with Abra ham. The second was that God was about to visit Sodom with some terrible judgment on account of its wickedness. But that was a neighbor of Abraham, and he must have visited it and become acquainted with some of its people through Lot. But especially his beloved Lot lived there, loved In spite of his fall ings and imperfections, and he was ex posed to destruction together with those whose company he kept. III. Abraham's Prayer for the Boomed City.—Vs. 22-32. ”22. And the men turned their faces from thence.” Two of tbe three strangers to investigate the wicked ness of Sodom. This is said to show In vivid colors that God never punishes rashly or unjustly. "Abraham stood yet before the Lord" in the person of th ■ third angel. "That passed between those pieces," as the representative of God. “18. In the same day.” At this very time. "Tlie Lord made a covenant .with Abram.” A solemn agreement or prom ise on the Lord's part, and absolute faith in it. acceptance of it on the part of Abraham. The Meaning of This Vision.—We un derstand the meaning of tills vision only when we know the ancient customs of tlie blood covenant. The rites are known to be very ancient. Its underlying form is that of the mutual transfusion of blood. Dr. Trumbull relates a case where two young men entered into this coven ant in this way; "One of the friends took a sharp lancet and opened a vein in the other's arm. Into the opening thus made, he inserted a quill through which he sucked the living blood." The sume was done by the other. They thus became friends closer than brothers, who must guard, protect, and aid each other to tie very utmost. By it each one "gives over one’s very self or one's entire possessions to another." It is like a true marriage covenant, "their separate identity is lost in a common life.” This covenant is made in several different Kays. Some times the blood of an animal sacrificed is used as a substitute and type. This must always be in the case of a covenant with God. One form is that described In the verses of the lesson. The two i>er sons pass between the parted portions of the animals. God was represented by the burning lamp here. Dr. Abbott says, "By some the division into two is sup posed to represent the two parties to tip covenant; and their passing between the divided pieces to signify their union into one. By others it is supposed that the meaning of the ceremony, perhaps ex pressed in words at the same time, was In effect an Invocation or prayer tha; the fate of the sacrificial beast hewn into two pieces might fall upon whoever vio lated the treaty and broke the promise." Nothing could express more perfectly to Abraham the divine assurance that the promises should be fulfilled and that God was his friend. It is most beautiful and touching. It also bound Abraham to serve God with all his heart, lie was pledged to him Of course what find could do under his covenant depended upon Abraham's obedience. But he had been tried again and again through a long life, and It was now assured that he would not fall. Compare the covenant of blood In lh< charnel house In I.alia Kookh, and tin fiery cross dipped in blood In Hcntt'a l-ady of the Lake. IV. The Covenant Agreement.*-Bee (Jen. 12: 2, 8. 7; 13: M-17. IS: 4-<i, IS; 17: 4-8; 22; 15-18. 1. Abraham should have a chlhl and descendants, who should be come a great nation. 2. These descend ants should be as Innumerable as the sands and the stars 3. They should pos sess the land of Palestine. 4 He would be their God, and they his people. HV would bless them, protect them, train them as a father trains his children. f>. He would make them a blessing to all nations, through all ages. Note (1 > the gradual unfolding of these promises. They grew larger as Abraham grew Iti faith and character. Note (2) they were not selfish promises. They began In Abra ham, hut reached over the world. Note (3) that there was to be a long period of training before they could be complete ly fulfilled. All efforts to make the. world better suddenly like a flash of lightning are necessarily failures, from the nature of man. Note (4) that God made every thing a reminder of the covenant, Ills name, his person, the land, the dust, the sand, the stars, his flocks, his altars— every one spoke to him of his covenant With (led. V. Practical Lessons and Illustra tions 1. God comes to us In our dark times, the times of trial and sickness anil loss and danger. These with God In them are a training In faith and char acter. How sweet the sunshine after the storm, and the assurance that he is al ways shining on the other side even dur ing the darkness and storm! Character grows by God's encouragements In the trials of our faith, by earnest* believing, by confirmations of faith, by religious observances, by the everlasting covenant with God. Lithographic stone in Kentucky. A deposit of lithographic stone has been found near Mount Sterling, Ky., which Kugene Leary of the United States geological survey, who had been sent to examine it, says he would rather own “than any gold mine he ever heard of. There is no reason why the quarry should not control the market in this country. There is no lithographic stone anywhere else, so far as known, and there will he no difficulty in competing with the Ger man product.” New l’hiee for Cor*«tl. A Manila exchange tells of an Amer ican soldier who, while stationed >n Bulacan, became enamored of a pretty Filipino. Wishing to show his affec tion he purchased and sent to her a complete outfit of American clothing. When next he called he found her ar rayed in all the pretty things, but she had made one radical mistake. This was with the corsets, which had caused her a great deal of worry before she discovered what she took to he tho use for which they were Intended. Then she unlaced them and put on tho two pieces as leggings. f>ay* It la a Business Proposition.

Women Trained as Sign Painters. Women sign painters in Berlin un dergo a regular apprenticeship. They are first taught how to use the brush and to mix paints. Gymnastic train ing is a part of the course, so that tho vumen may ascend scaffolding and stand on ladders without losing their nerve. The female painters wear gray lined frocks and caps and look more like hospital nurses than mistresses of the brush. It Pays to Kpiil Newspapers. Cox, Wis., Aug. 5th.—Frank M.
