THE NORTHWESTERN. ^BENbCHOTEB * GIKSON, Eds and Fobs. LOUP CITY, * • NEB. ^__ , g-- .. , -g— J'-aaL'RUi-■ » The latest census shows that there are 420,214 horses in Denmark, 188 for every 100 seres under cultivation and 195 per 1,000 inhabitants; the sheep number 1,058,656, which is 281 per 100 acres and 456 per 1,000 inhabitants. Denmark is an agricultural country. About three-fourths of the population are engaged in the cultivation of the soil. Copenhagen is the only city of any size. Princess Clementine d'Orleans, who is now the only survivor of the large family of Louis Philippe, has cele brated her eighty-fourth birthday at Schloss Ebenthal, her seat near Vien na, whither she has just returned after a long stay at Mentone. Princess Clementine married Prince Augustus of Sax-Coburg-Gotha, a brother of the late king dowager of Portugal, and a first cousin of Queen Victoria and of the prince consort. The Missouri egg factory of Spring field handles about 50,000 dozen eggs a day, all of which are candled before entering the factory. About three wagon loads of eggs are rejected each day and hauled outside of the city limits where they are dumped. A man living near the dumping ground has collected enough chickens hatched by the weather from eggs thus thrown away to stock a chicken farm. Every day for a month or more he has been carrying a number of chickens home from the dumping ground, where they had been hatched by the unprecedented heat. Persons Interested in wild flowers are endeavoring to create—and to or ganize—a sentiment for the protection of our native plants, especially near large cities. The pond-lily, trailing aruutus, native orchids, fringed gen tian and many of the evergreens have been gathered in Massachusetts for sale in such quantities, and so steadily sought by frequenters of suburban woods, that their extinction Is threat ened. The remedy suggested is that care be used to cut rather than pull the flowers, so that the roots need not he disturbed; and that those who gather rare plants for the market should be discouraged by lack of patronage. Bishop Philpotts of Exeter early earned his reputation for saying sharp things. One of the guests at an under graduate's party, in Oxford, sang a song much out of tune. Then Philpotts was called upon. "I haven't a note in my voice," said he. "Well, if you can't sing, you must make a speech or tell a story!” declared the host. “If I am to tell a story," said the future bish op, "I think 1 should say that I should like to hear-sing that song again!" Much later in life he went to pay a visit in Devonshire. "It’s a beautiful place, isn’t it?" asked a guest. “Yes," said the bishop, "but if it were mine I would pull down the house and fill up the pond with it. That would remove two objections." The value of a recipe lies partly In ; its being accurately set down and fol- j lowed. Harper's Magazine has the fol lowing directions for making a break fast delicacy called pop-overs, as they were imparted by the Chinese servant to a lady visiting in the family: "You takee him one egg." said the master of the kitchen, "one lit' cup milk. You fixee him one cup flou' on sieve, take pinch salt—you put him in lump. You move him egg lit’ bit slow; you put him milk in, all time move. You makee him flou' go in, not move fast, so have no spots. Makee but’led pan all same wa’m, not too hot. Putlee him in oven. Now you mind you business. No like woman run look at him all time. Him done all same time biscuit.” During month if July thousands of young people gathered in Cincinnati and San Francisco, in Christian En deavor and Epworth League conven tions. Enthusiasm in large measure was theirs. But the public, always utilitarian, asks: “What have these young people actually done?" A few among the “best things" reported by the Junior Endeavors alone, chil dren under 14 years cf age, are a suf ficient reply: Clothed and paid board of a crippled boy in school. Gave a thanksgiving dinner to thirty-live poor children. Earned money to give poor children an outing in July and Au gust. Kept a crippled old lady in clothing and food all winter. Fur nished flowers all winter to our church. Made scrap books for hospi tals. Educated two colored boys. Placed a rack in depot and kept it filled with good reading. Gathered two hundred good books for the prison committee to use in its work. Bought an invalid bed, which is loaned in the community. Surely an enthusiasm riv eted by such acts of helpful service need not hesitate to call itself true religion. Gladstone's humorous advice to the farmers to convert their superfluous turnips into beautiful jam has been abundantly acted upon, even in the vir tuous United States. Around one case of the Agricultural Department’s ex hibit at the Pan-American Exposition hang squares of cloth, originally white now yellow, orange, scarlet, crimson blue and purple aii colored by aniline dyes extracted from commercial jam and jellies. In comparison with such i nefarious adulteration comment would I be colorless. TALMAGE'S SERMON. “WOMAN AND HOME" THE SUBJECT LAST SUNDAY. Home I* tlie Only Sphere In Which Woman Can Succeed In Ruling the World Her licet Right. Defined The Ballot Ilox. [Copyright, 1901, by Loul. Klop.oh, N. Y 1 Washington, Aug. 18.—In this dis course Dr. Talmage extols home as a Held of usefulness, and especially en courages wives and mothers; text, Genesis i, 27, "Male and female created he them.” In other words, God, who can make no mistake, made man and woman for a specific work and to move In par Mcular spheres— man to be regnant in his realm, woman to be dominant in hers. The boundary line between Italy and Switzerland, between England and Scotland, is not more thoroughly marked than this distinction between the empire masculine and the empire feminine. So entirely dissimilar are the fields to which God called them that you can no more compare them than you can oxygen and hydrogen, water and grass, trees and stars. All this talk about the superiority of one i sex to the other is an everlasting waste cf Ink and speech. A jeweler may have a scale so delicate that he can weigh the dust of diamonds, but where are the scales so delicate that you can weigh in them affection, senti ment against sentiment, thought against thought, soul against soul, a man's word against a woman's word? You come out with your stereotyped j remark that man is superior to wo- , man in intellect, and then I open on my desk the swarthy. Iron typed. [ thunderbolted writings of Harriet Mar- j tineau and Elizabeth Browning and George Eliot. Y’ou come on with your stereotyped remark about woman's superiority to man in the item of a?- j fectlon, but 1 ask you where was there more capacity to love than in John the disciple, and Robert McCheyne, the Scotchman, and John Summerfield. the Methodist and Henry Martyn, the mis sionary? The heart of those men was so large that after you had rolled into it the hemispheres theie was room still left to marshal the hosts of hea ven and set up the throne of the eter nal Jehovah. I deny to man the throne intellectual. I deny to woman the throne affectional. No human phrase ology will ever define the spheres while there Is an intuition by which we know when a man is in his realm and when a woman is In her realm and when either of them is out of It. No bungling legislature ought to attempt to make a definition or to say. “This is the line, and that Is the line.’’ Woman’* Brst Hight*. I know there are women of most un desirable nature who wander up and down the country, having no homes of their own or forsaking their own homes, talking about their rights, and we know very well that they them selves are fit neither to vote nor tit to keep house. Their mission seems to be to humiliate the two sexes at the thought of what any one of us might | | become. No one would want to live i under the laws that such women would i enact, or to have cast upon society the children that such women would raise. But 1 will show you that the best rights that woman can own she already has in her possession; that her posi- j tion in this country at this time is - not one of commiseration, but one of | congratulation; that the grandeur and power of her realm have never yet been appreciated; that she sits today on a throne so high that all the thrones of earth piled on top of each other would not make for her a foot- i stool. Here is the platform on which she stands. Away down below It are the ballot box and the congressional ; assemblage and the legislative hall. Appi-eclutlou of Her Wights. Woman always has voted and always will vote. Our great-grandfathers thought they were by their votes put ting Washington into the presidential chair. No. His mother, by the prin- ] clples she taught him and by the hab its she inculcated, made him presi dent. It was a Christian mother's hand dropping the ballot when Lord Bacon wrote, and Newton philosophiz- j : ed, and Alfred the Great governed, and j Jonathan Edwards thundered of judg ■ ment to come. How many men there j J have been In high political station who ! i would have been insufficient to stand j j the test to which their moral principle was put had it not been for a wife's voice that encouraged them to do right and a wife's prayer that sounded louder than the clamor of partisan ship! Why, my friends, the right of suffrage, as we men exercise it. seems to be a feeble thing. You, a Christian man, come up to the ballot box, and then drop your vote. Right after you comes a libertine or a sat, the offscour ing of the street, and he drops his vote, and his vote counteracts yours. But if in the quiet of home life a daughter by her Christian demeanor, a wife by her industry, a mother by her faith fulness, casts a vote in the right direc tion, then nothing can resist it, and the influence of that vote will throb through the eternities. My chief anxiety, then, is not that woman has other rights accorded her. but that she, by the grace of God, rise up to the appreciation of the glorious rights she already possesses. I shall only have time to speak of one grand and all absorbing right that every wo man has, and that Is to make home happy. That realm no one has ever disputed with her. Men may come home at noon or at night, and they tarry a comparatively little while, but she all day long governs It, beautifies it, sanctifies It. ft is within her pow ! er to make It the most attractive place on earth. It is the only calm harbor In tills world. You know as well as I do that this outside world and the business world is a long scene of Jostle and contention. The man who has a dollar struggles to keep It; the man who has It not strug gles to get It. Prices up. Prices down. Losses. Gains. Misrepresentations. Gougings. Underselling. Buyers de preciating; salesmen exaggerating. Tenants seeking less rent; landlords demanding more. Gold fidgety. Strug gles about office. Men who are in try ing to keep In; men out trying to get in. Slips. Tumbles. Defalcations. Panics. Catastrophes. O woman, thank God you have a home, and that you may be queen In it. Better be there than wear a queen's coronet. Bet ter be there than carry the purse of a princess. Your abode may be humble, but you can by your faith In God and your cheerfulness of demeanor gild it with splendors such as an upholster er's hand never yet kindled. The Mont Queenly Woman. When you want to get your grand est idea of a queen, you do not think of Catherine of Russia, or of Anne of England, or Maria Theresa of Austria, but when you want to get your grand est idea of a queen you think of the plain woman who sat opposite your father at the table, or walked with him arm in arm down life's pathway, sometimes to the thanksgiving ban quet, sometimes to the grave, but al ways together—soothing your petty griefs, correcting your childish way wardness, joining in your infantile sports, listening to your evening prayers, toiling for you with needle, or at the spinning wheel, and on cold nights wrapping you up snug and warm. And then at last, on that day when she lay in the back room dying, and you saw her take those thin hands with which she tolled for you so long and put them together in a dying prayer that commended you to God, whom she had taught you to trust—oh, she was the queen! The chariots of God came down to fetch her, and as she wont in all heaven rose up. You cannot think of her now without a rush of tenderness that stirs the deep foundations of your soul, and you feel as much a child again as when you cried on her lap, and if you could bring her back again to speak just once more your name as tenderly as she used to speak it you would be willing to throw yourself on the ground and kiss the sod that covers her, crying, "Mother, mother! Ah, she was the queen—she was the queen!” To t!i«* Ballot Box. Now, can you tell me how many thousand miles a woman like that would have to travel down before she got to the ballot box? Compared with this work of training kingstand queens for God eternity, how insignificant seems all this work of voting for aider men and common councilmen and sher iffs and constables and mayors and presidents. To make one such grand woman as I have described how many thousand would you want of those peo ple who go in the round of godless uess and fashion and dissipation, dis torting their body and going as far toward disgraceful apparel as they dare go so as not to be arrested of the police, their behavior a sorrow to the good and a caricature of the vicious and an insuit to that God who made them women and net gorgons, ana tramping on, down through a frivol ous and dissipated life, to temporal and eternal destruction. Oh. woman, with the lightning of your soul strike dead at your feet all these allurements to dissipation and to fashion. Your immortal soul cannot be fed upon such garbage. God calls you up to em pire and dominion. Will you have it? Oh.givetoGod your heart, give to God your best energies, give to God all your culture, give to God all your re finement, give yourself to him for this world and the next. Soon all these bright eyes will be quenched and these voices will be hushed. For the last time you will look upon this fair earth; father's hand, mother’s hand, sister's hand, child's hand, will be no more in yours. It will be night, and there will come up a cold wind from the Jordan, and you must start. Will it be a lone woman on a trackless moor? Ah, no, Jesus will come up in that hour and offer his hand, and he will say; “You stood by me when you were well; now I will not desert you when you are sick.” One wave of his hand, and the storm will drop, and another wave of his hand and midnight shall break into midnoon. and another wave of his hand and the chamberlains of God will come down from the treasure houses of heaven with robes lustrous, blood washed and heaven glinted, la which you will ar ray yourself for the marriage supper of the Lamb, And then with Miriam, who struck the timbrel by the Red sea, and with Deborah, who led the Lord's host into the fight, and with Hannah, who gave her Samuel to the Lord, and with Mary, who rocked Jesus to sleep while there were angels singing in the air, and with Florence Nightingale, who bound up the battle wounds of the Crimea, you will, from the chalice of God, drink to the soul's eternal rescue. The Beautiful Home Above. One twilight, after I had been play ing with the children for some time, 1 lay down on the lounge to rest, and, half asleep and half awake, I seemed to dream this dream; It seemed to me that I was in a far distant land— not Persia, although more than ori ental luxuriance crowned the cities; nor the tropics, although more than tropical fruitfulness filled the gardens; nor Italy, although more than Italian softness filled the air. Aud I wan derd around looking for thorns and nettles, but 1 found none of them grew there. And I walked forth, and I saw the sun rise, and I said, "When will It set again?" and the sun sank not And ! saw all the people in holiday • apparel, and I said, "When will they ! put on workingman's garb again and ! delve In the mine and swelter at the forge?” But neither the garments nor the robes did they put off. And I wan dered in the suburbs, and 1 said, “Where do they bury the dead of this | great city ” And I looked along by the hills where It would be most beau ! tiful for the dead to sleep, and l saw t castles and towers and battlements, but not a mausoleum, nor monument, nor white slab could I see. And I I went into the great chapel of the town, and 1 said: "Where do the poor worship? Where are the benches on which they sit?" And a voice an swered. "We have no poor in this great city." And I wandered out seeking to j find the place where were the hovels j of the destitute, and I found man ! sions of amber and ivory and gold, hut no tear did I see or sight hear. I was bewildered, and I sat under the shadow of a great tree, and I said. "What am l and whence comes all this?” And at that moment there came from among the leaves, skipping up the flowery paths and across the sparkling waters, a very bright and i sparkling group, and when I saw ; their step 1 knew It, and when I heard their voices I thought 1 knew them, but their apparel was so different from •anything I had ever seen I bowed, a stranger to strangers. But after awhile, when they clapped their hands and shouted. "Welcome! Welcome!" the mystery was solved, and I saw that time had passed and that eternity had come, and that God had gathered us up into a higher home, and I said, "Are all here?" and the voices of in numerable generations answered, "All here." And while tears of gladness were raining down our cheeks and the branches of the Lebanon cedars were 1 clapping their hands and the towers of the great city were chiming their wel come, we began to laugh and sing and leap and shout: "Home! Home! Home!” HAVE RULES FOR MOURNING. ( liiume Enforce I.uun I’rcM-rUilng How Bereavement .Must Be Shown* Chinese laws prescribe severe pen alties for neglect of children to prop erly observe the prescribed customs on the death of an ancestor. If a son i receiving information of the death cf his father or mother or a wife sup press such intelligence and omits to go into lawful mourning for the de ceased such neglect shatl be punished witn sixty blows and one year's ban ishment. If a sou or wife enters into mourning in a lawful manner, but pre vious to the expiration of the term dis cards the mourning habit and, forget ful of the loss sustained, plays upon musical instruments or participates In festi ities, the punishment shall amount for such offenses to eighty blows. Whoever on receiving Infor mation of the death of any otner rela tive in the first degree than the above mentioned suppresses the not.ee of it and omits to mourn shall be punished with eighty blows; if previous to the expiration of the legal period of mourning for such relative any person casts away the mourning habit and resumes his wonted amusements he shall be punished with sixty blows. When any officer or other person in the employ of the government has re ceived intelligence of the death of his father or mother, in consequence oi which intelligence he is bound to re tire from the office during the period of mourning, if in order to avoid such retirement he falsely represents the deceased to have been his grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt or cousin ho shall suffer punishment of 100 blows, be deposed from office and rendered in capable of again entering into the pub lic service.—Chicago Chronicle. IIow the Mate <iot Evfn) The mate of a certain schooner was in the habit of drinking more than was good for him. On one occasion, after he had recovered from an unusually severe attack of intoxication, he was looking over the log and found that the captain had inscribed therein on a certain date: “Mate drunk.” The mate promptly went to the captain and asked why such a statement had been written down. “It is true, isn’l it?” asked the captain. "Yes.” said the mate. "Then let it stand,” said the captain. A few days later the cap tain, in looking over the log, found this inscription: "Captain sober.” He summoned the mate and asked him what he meant by taking such a liber ty. “It's true, isn't it?” “Yes,” said the captain, “but-" “Then let it stand,” said the mate.—Youths’ Com panion. * The Klertric Kel's Viet tin* At the Zoological gardens a largo electric eel was swimming in its tank with more activity than usual, when a big cockroach fell into the water, and in its efforts to get out made a dis turbance of the surface, which attract ed the attention of the eel. The eel turned round, swam past it, disharged its battery at about eight inches off, and the cockroach instantly stopped stone dead. It did not even move its antennae after. The eel then proceed ed to swallow its victim, and the nar rator goes on to point out the curious circumstance that the fish, which weighed about twelve pounds, should find it worth while to fire its heavy ar tillery at a creature an inch and a half long, when it could easily have swal lowed it sans facon.—Chambers’ Jour nal.

Golden Text—Blessed Are the Pe»M* makers, for They Khali He Called the Children of God — Matt. 8: 9 — Isaac the Peacemaker. Isaac born at Beersheba, B. C. 1896. Experience at Mi. Moriah, B. C. 1411, 25 years of age. His mother. Sarah, died at Hebron, B. C. I860, 36 years of age. Married to Kebekah at Beor-Lahal* Hoi, B. C. 1856, 40 years of age. Birth of Jacob and Esau, B.

Deceived as to the birthright at Beer sheba, B. C. 1760, 136 years of age. Death of Isaaac at Hebron, B. C. 1716, 180 years of age. Place.—Most of Isaac's life was spent In the Negeb, that Is, "The South '—at Beersheba. 45 miles southwest of Jerusa lem; at liter-I-ahai-Boi, 50 miles south west of Beersheba; at Gernr, 20 miles a little northwest of Beersheba; at He bron. 20 miles nearly south of Jerusalem. I. His Early Life.—Isaac was born at Beersheba, It. C. ls»t;. His father. Abra ham, was 100 years old, and his mother. Sarah, 90 years. His half-brother, Ish mael, the son of Hagar, was 13 or 14 years old nt this time. Isaac was the son of promise, his birth having been foretold. He was the heir of the prom ises made to Abraham in the line of the blessings which were to bless all nations. II. His Marriage.—Isaac was married when ho was 40 years old. The arrange ments were made by his father. A Mo hammedan tradition Is quoted by Pro fessor Doits as expressing the Oriental feeling In regard to the marriage of a son. "When a son lias attained the age of 20 years, his father, if able, should marry him, and then take Ills hand and say, ‘I have disciplined thee, and taught thee, and married thee; i now seek re fuge with God from thy mischief in the present world and the next.' ” The woo ing is a beautiful idyl of olden time. Ill Isaac, the Peacemaker.—Vs. 12-25. Sarah, hts mother, died three or four years before his marriage, at the age of 127, and was buried in the cave of Mach pcluh. near the Oaks* of Mature at He bron, which Abraham bought for a bur ial-ground. Abraham lived thirty-eight years longer, and died B. C. 1X21, at the age of 175, and was buried beside his wife. He died in the f ilth of heavenly coun try (Heb. 11: 13-16). not only in heaven, but a city of God on earth beyond his most glorious visions. After his father's death there came a famine in the "South Country" where Isaac lived, and lie moved twenty-five miles to the west, and settled in Gerar of the Philistines in the lowlands near tile Mediterranean. Here he prospered so much that the Philis tines envied him. "16. And Abimeleeh." A Philistine king at Gerar. "Go from us." Because there was likely to be trouble from the Philis tines, whose temper was against pros perous foreigners growing rich In their country. A modern example is the ex pulsion of the Jews from several coun tries of Europe for the same reasons. “17. Isaac departed thence." Isaac was a man of peace. Though stronger than his enemies, he yielded his rights, for the sake of peace: and he found that "the meek shall Inherit the earth.” "Pitched his tent." "Eiicamiied '— referring some times to military encampment and to a more settled habitation than the common term for nomadic tenting. "The valley of Gerar.” Or, the wady—the undulating land of Gerar (thought to be the ”19. Digged in the valley.” A new well was now dug by Isaac’s servants. This was Isaac's right. “Of springing water.” Hebrew, of living waters; i. e,, of run ning water, rare, and unusually precious for its cool freshness, and for being per ennial. ”20. The herdmen of Gerar did strive,” etc. The Philistines claimed the wen be cause it was in tUeir country, and Isaac's herdmen claimed It because they discov ered and dug the well. “Called the name of the well Esek." That is, contention or stri fe. ”21. Another well. . . . Sitnah." Hatred, spitefulness. From the same root with Sitnah is derived Satan, an adversary, or hater. "22. Another well; . . . they strove not." "Isaac left the valley." IV. Lessons from Isaac's Life anrl Char acter — 1. The tendency of such a nature as Isaac’s Is to be too dependent on oth ers: and parents wishing to shelter their children too much from burdens and re sponsibility do not always train them into their best possibilities. They allow too much of "the clinging vine,” and not enough of the sturdy oak. Hut even “the clinging vine" bears good fruit. "Isaac was dwarfed and weakened by growing up under the shadow of Abraham." "But all this tends, ns in Isaac's case, to the stunting of the man himself. Life is made too easy for him.” Many a son of a rich man or of a strong man, conduct ing a large business, has been greatly injured by not having responsibilities thrown upon him. 2. Isaac was a men of faith, but in many respects a great contrast to his father. He was patient, hut not enter prising and powerful. He was devout and submissive, but not active and organiz ing In God's service. His life was un eventful. almost monotonous. He has been called "the Wordsworth of the Old Testament." We find In him "those re tined. sensitive, pleasant, passive virtues which make tender and helpful the home relations, and which are the grace of all social intercourse." "Eventful lives train large, commonplace, taking, but rough. elements of character..l'ho uneventful lives are the spheres In which arc trained the tine, delicate, gentle, dtvinest ele ments of character ... in such silent fashion ns that In which the soft breath of spring wakens the flower-music of the earth." Economy In I'slng Alcohol. Builders of motor cars in France are strongly convinced that the future of the Industry lies in the utilization of alcohol. Owners have little hope of petroleum being cheapened to any con siderable extent. They are looking for further economy to alcohol, the utiliza tion of which, it is supposed, will not only save them money but will revive a languishing national industry at thu expense of Imported petroleum.
