Explorers have approached within 238 miles of the north pole, but the nearest approach to the south has been 772 miles. The most curious cemetery is situ ated at Luxor, on the Nile. Here re pose the mumifled bodies of millions of sacred cats. Their remains are side by side with the bodies of kings and emperors in mauseleums. In the centre of Liverpool there is one large roof-garden. It forms the hobby of a lady who has at present in successful cultivation currants, goose berries, and a fine show of outdoor flowers, besides exotics in a green house. The earth was taken up to the tiles by means of a lift, and the gar den is efficiently drained and free from despoilers. An expert says of the discovery of coal in India: The development of the steel and iron trade in Bengal is only h matter of months, and Calcutta in a year or two will become the Cardirt of the east. With all the advantages of an Asiatic population at hand, an unlimited output and the enterprise controlled by Englishmen, there is no fear of competition, and a new era of prosperity is well in sight. Sanger's circus recently caused a little scare in Ramsgate. A horse drawing a covered van of tigers made a wild dash down the High street and west through the windows of a drapery establishment. The horse was injured and the van ovei turned. Two fine tigers sprang out of the van as the folding doors flew open, and the crowd of sightseers was terrified; but some Of the showmen were soon on the scene, and the tigers were quickly re captured. t __ * Dr. Colmette. head of the Pasteur Institute in Paris, and discoverer of the anti-venomous serum which bears his name, has just had a narrow escape from death, which he owes to his own invention. Dr. Colmette was collect ing some serpents' venom, when one of the reptiles bit him severely on the finger. A moment's hesitation would have been fatal, for the poison was a deadly one, whose action is immediate. Fortunately one of Dr. Colmette's col leagues at once injected a strong dose of the anti-venomous serum, and the worst result so far has been a high fever and a swelling of the hand and wrist. __ Among the villagers on the Volga in the Russian province of Samara a curious sect of women has made its appearance. It was originated by an elderly peasant woman in Soznavo, called the ‘'Blessed Mother.” These women have lied from the villages around into a remote district, where they live singly in holes dug out of ine face of the bill. They lead a life of fasting and prayer, and believe themselves called from the world, which they think is shortly about to perish in a general conflagration. The "Blessed Mother” has “ten wise vir gins" as a sort of bodyguard, and the sect believes that these eleven women are possessed of miraculous power. George Arnold, 82 years of age, who had been missing from the home of his granddaughter. Mrs. F. J. Warne, Syracuse, N. Y., was discovered in a field three miles from the Warne homestead. He was sitting under a tree and had nothing to eat but some green leaves and not a drop of water I had passed his lips. Although very weak he is expected to live. The old man had lived in Toronto, Ont., up to a short time ago. when his wife died. He frequently said that lie wanted to go home and had been acting in a peculiar manner. One mile from the place where the man was found his wooden leg was discovered. He had unstrapped it and crawled on his hands and knees over stone and barbed wire fences.

The church was crowded, and hun dreds of people were outside awaiting an opportunity to view the remains ot the pastor's son. who was shot by Po liceman James P. Wiley during a scuffle. Just as the burial service was concluded a loud report and crashes as of splintering beams sounded in front of the edifice. The flooring bent several inches, and a number of per sons started a rush for the entrance In the crush at the door threa women fainted. The collapse of the floor was caused by the splitting of a wooden post in the basement, which allowed the floor to sink. During the last year 1.420 persons were treated at the Pasteur Institute at Paris. Eleven died of hydrophobia, and seven of these received treatment loo late. Of the 1,413 patients who were treated in time, four died—the percentage being 28-100 of 1 per cent. In 1881, when the institute began oper ations. the percentage was 94-100; by 1888 it had fallen to 55-100; since that date it has. with the exception of one vear, been less than 40-100; and since 1898 it has been less than 1C-100 of 1 per cent. ( TALM AGE'S SERMON. THE CHARM OF EXALTED RELIGION THE SUBJECT. From Job XXVIII—'The Crystal Cannot Equal It”—Preparation for Eternal Treasures Should Ilegin Early in the Material World Open the l*oor to Chrlat. [Copyright, 1301, by Louis Klopsrh, N. Y] Washington. Cct. 6.—The charm of an exalted religion is by Dr. Talmage in this discourse illustrated and com mended; text. Job xxviii, 17, "The cry tal cannot equal it.” Many of the precious stones of the Bible have come to prompt recogni tion. But for the present I take up the less valuable crystal. Job, in my text, compares saving wisdom with a specimen of topaz. An infidel chemist or mineralogist would pronounce the latter worth more than the former, but Job makes an Intelligent compari son, looks at religion and then looks at the crystal and pronounces the former as of far superior value to the latter, exclaiming, in the words of ray text, “The crystal cannot equal it.” Now, it is not a part of my sermonic design to depreciate the crystal, whether it be found in Cornish mine or Harz mountain or aiauiiuuiu or tinkling among the pendants of the chandeliers of a palace. The crystal Is the star of the mountain; it is the queen of the cave; it is the eardrop of the hills; it finds Its heaven in the diamond. Among all the pages of natural history there is no page more Interesting to me than the page crys tallographic. But I want to show you that Job was right when, taking re ligion in one hand and the crystal in the others, he declared that the for mer is of far more value and beauty than the latter, recommending it to all people and to all the ag s, declaring ‘ The crystal cannot equal it.” Ciod'ii Immutable I-atri. In the first place, I remark that re ligion is superior to the crystal in ex actness. That shapeless mass of crys tal against which you accidentally dashed your foot is laid out with more exactness than any earthly city There are & x styles of crystallization and all of them divinely ordained. Every crystal has mathematical pre cision. God’s geometry reaches through it, and it Is a square, or It Is a rect angle, or it is a rhomboid, or in some j way it has a mathematical figure. Now. religion beats that in the simple fact that spiritual accuracy is more beauti ful than material accuracy. God’s at tributes are exact, God’s laws exact, | God’s decrees exact, God's management of the world exact. Never counting wrong, though he counts the grass blades and the stars and the sands and the cycles. His providences never dealing with us perpendicularly when those provinces ought to be oblique, nor laterally when they ought to be vertical. Everything in our life ar ranged without any possibility of mis take. Each life a six-headed prism. Born at the right time; dying at the right time. There are no "happen bo’s” in our theolcgy. If I thought this was a slipshod universe, I would be in despair. God is not an anarchist. Law, order, symmetry, precision, a perfect square, a perfect rectangle, a perfect rhomboid, a perfect circle. The edge of God's robe of government nev er frays out. There are no loose screws in the world's machinery. It did not just happen that Napoleon was attacked with indigestion at Borodino so that he became incompetent for the day. It did not just happen that John Thomas, the missionary, on a heathen island, waiting for an outfit and orders for another missionary tour, received that outfit and those orders in a box that floated ashore, while the ship and the crew that carried the box were never heard of. I believe in a particu lar providence. I believe God's geo metry may be seen in all our life more beautifully than in crystallography. : Job was right. "The crystal cannot equal it.” Mure Traiiftpiiriint Than Cryatal. Again I remark that religion is su perior to the crystal in transparency. We know not when or by whom glass was first discovered. Beads of it have been found in the t. mb of Alexander Severus. Vases of it are brought up from the ruins of Herculaneum. There were female adornments made out of it 3,000 years ago—those adornments found now attached to the mummies of Egypt. A great many commenta tors believe that my text means glass. What would we do without the crys tal? The crystal in the window to keep out the storm and let in the day; the crystal over the watch, de fending its de ieate Tnach'nery yet al lowing us to see the hour; the crystal of the telescope, by which the astrono mer brings distant worlds so near he can inspect them. Oh the triumphs of the crystals in the celebrated windows of Rouen and Salisbury! But there is nothing so transparent in crystal as in our holy religion. It is a transparent religion. You put it to your eye and you seo man—his sin, his soul, his destiny. You look at God and you see something of the grand* ur of his character. It Is a transparent religion Infidels tell us it is opaque. l)o you kxow why they tell us it is opaque? It Is because they are blind. “The natural man recelveth not the things of God because they are spiritually discerned.” There is no trouble w tit the crystal. The trouble is with the eyes which try to look through it. We pray for vision. Lord, that our eyes might be opened! When the eye salve cures our blindness, then we fl.id that religion is transparent. Preparation for Er^rntl Treanurru. The providence that was dark I before becomes pellucid. Now you i find God Is not trying t > put you down. Now you undei stand why you lost that child and why you lost your property. It was to prepare you for eternal treasures. And why sickness came, it being the precursor of immor tal juveneseence. And now you under stand why they lied about you and tried to drive you hither and thither. It was to put you in the glorious com pany of such a man as Ignatius, who, ! when he went out to be destroyed by the lions, said. "I am the wheat, and the teeth of the wild beasts must first grind me before I can become pure bread for Jesus Chr'Bl.” Or the com pany of such men as “that ancient Christian martyr” who, when standing in the midst of the amphitheater watt ing for the lions to come out of their cave and destroy him and the people in the galleries jeering and shouting, "The lions!” replied, “Let thPin come on!” and then, stooping down toward the cave, where the wild b asts were roaring to get out, again cried. "Let them come on!" Ah, yes, it Is perse cution to put you in glorious company, and while there are many things you will have to postpone to the future world for explanation I tell you that it is the whole tendency of your relig ion to unravel and explain and inter pret and illuminated and iradiate. Job was right. It Is a g’orious traspar ency. “The crystal cannot equal it." Harmony anil Symmetry. Beautiful in its symmetry. When it presents God's character, it does not present him as having love like a great protuberance on one side of his nature, but makes that love in harmony with his justice—a love that will accept all those who come to him, and a justice that will by no means clear the guilty. Beautiful religion in the sentiment it implants! Beautiful religion in the hope it kindles! Beautiful religion in the fact that it proposes to garland and enthrone and emparadise an im mortal spirit. Solomon says it is a lily. Paul says it is a crown. The Apocalypse says it is a fountain kissed by the sun. Ezekiel says it is a foliaged cedar. Christ says it is a bridegroom come to fetch home a bride. While Job in the text takes up a whole vase of precious stones—the topaz and the sapphire and the chryso prasns—he holds out of this beauti ful vase just one crystal and holds it up until it gleams in the warm light of the eastern sky, and he exclaims, “The crystal cannot equal it.” Oh, it is not a stale religion; it is not a stupid religion; it is not a tooth less hag, as some seem to have repre sented it; it is not a Meg Merrlltes with shriveled arm come to scare the world; it is the fairest daughter of God, heiress of all his wealth; her cheek the morning sky. her voice the music of the south wind, her step the dance of the sea. Come and woo her. The Spirit and the Bride say come, and whosoever will, let him come. Do you agree with Solomon and say it is a lily? Then pluck it and wear it over your heart. Do you agree with Paul and say it is a crown? Then let this hour be your coronation. Do you agree with the Apocalypse and say it is a springing fountain? Then come and slake the thirst of your soul Do you believe with Ezekiel and say it is a foliaged cedar? Then come under its shadow. Do you believe with Christ and say it is a bridegroom come to fetch home a bride? Then strike hands with your Lord and King while I pronounce you everlastingly one. Or if you think with Job that it is a jewel, then put it on vour hand like a ring, on your neck like a bead, on your forehead like a star, while look ing into the mirror of God’s word you acknowledge, “The crystal cannot equal it.” Superior to Cryntal Again. religion is supuerior to the crystal in its transformations. The diamond is only a crystallization. Car bonate of lime rises till it becomes ealcite or aragonite. Hod oxide of copper crystallizes into cubps and octahedrons. Those crystals which adorn our persons and our homes and our museums have only been resur rected from forms that were far from lustrous. Scientists for ages have been examining these wonderful trans formations. But 1 tell you in the gos pel of the Son of God there is a more wonderful transformation. Over souls by reason of sin black as coal and hard as iron God. by his comforting grace, stoops and says, “They shall be mine in the day when 1 make up my jewels.” “What!" say you. “Will God wear jewelry?” If he wanted it, he could make the stars of the heaven his belt and have the evening cloud for the sandals of his feet, hut he does not j want that adornment. He will not have that jewelry. When God wants jewelry, he comes down and digs it out j of the depths and darkness of sin. These souls are all crystallizations of mercy. He puts them on, and he ! wears them in the presence of the whole universe. He wears them on the hand that was nailed, over the heart that was pierced, on the tem ples that wore stung. “They shall be mine.” saith the Lord, “in the day when l make up my Jewels." Wonder ful transformation! Where sin abounded grace shall much more abound. The carbon becomes the soli taire. "The crystal cannot equal it.” Now, I have no liking for those peo ple who are always enlarging in Chris tian meetings about their early dissi pation. Do not go into the particu lars, my brothers. Simply say you were sick, but make no display of your ulcers. The chief stock In trade of some ministers and Christian work ers seem to be their early crimes and dissipations. The number of pockets you picked and the number of chick ens you stole make very poor prayer meeting rhetoric. Besides that, it dis courages other Christian people who never got drunk or stole anything. But It is pleasant to know tliat those who were farthest down have been brought highest up. Out of Infernal serfdom Into eternal liberty. Out of darkness Into light. From coal to the solitaire. "The crystal cannot equal It.” Fower of tlio (ionpel. But, my friends, the chief trans forming power of the gobpel will not be seen in this world, and not until heaven breaks upon the soul. When that light falls upon the soul, then you will see the crystals. What a magnificent setting for these jewels of eternity! I sometimes hear people representing heaven In a way that Is far from attractive to me. It seems almost a vulgar heaven as they rep resent it, with great blotches of color and bands of music making a deafen ing racket. John represents heaven as exquisitely beautiful. Three crystals! In one place he says, “Her light was like a precious stone, clear as crystal." In another place he says, "I saw a pure river from under the throne, clear as crystal.” In another place he says. “Before the throne there was a sea of glass clear as crystal.” Three crys tals! John says crystal atmosphere. That means health. Balm of the eter nal June. What weather alter the world's east wind! No rack of storm clouds. One breath of that air will cure the worst tubercle. Crystal light on all the leaves, crystal light shimmering on the topaz of the tem ples. Crystal light tossing in the plumes of the equestrians of heaven on white horses. But "the crystal can not equal it.” John says crystal river. That means joy. Deep and ever rolling. Not one drop of the Potomac or the Hudson or the Rhine to soil it. No one tear of human sorrow to imbitter it. Crystal, the rain out of which it was made. Crystal, the bed over which it shall roll and ripple. Crystal, its infinite surface. But “the crystal can not equal it.” John says crystal sea. That means multitudinously vast. Vast in rapture. Rapture vast as the sea, deep as the sea, strong as the sea. ever changing as the sea. Billow’s of light. Billows of beauty, blue with skies that were never clouded and green with depths that were never fathomed. Arctics and Antarctica and Mediterraneans and Atlantlcs and Pacifies in crystalline magnificence. Three crystals! Crystal light falling on a crystal river. Crystal river roll ing into a crystal sea. But “the crys tal cannot equal it.” Open tlie Dooi to ClirUt. “Oh,” says some one, “it is just the doctrine i want. God is to do every thing, and I am to do nothing.” My brother, it is not the doctrine you want. The coal makes no resistance. It hears the resurrection voice in the mountain and it comes to crystalliza tion; but your heart resists. The trou ble with you. my brother, is the coal wants to stay coal. I do not ask you to throw open the door and let Christ In. 1 only ask that you stop bolting it and barring It. My friends, we will have to get rid of our sins. I will have to get rid of my sins, and you will have to get rid of your sins. What will we do with our sins among the three crystals? The crystal atmosphere would display our pollution. The crystal river would be befouled with our touch. Transforma tion must take place now or no trans formation at all. Give sin full chance In your heart and the transformation w’ill be downward instead of upward. Instead of crystal it will he a cinder. ROUSSEAU WAS MODEST. He ICefimed to Kxpose an Impoitur Foxing In IIin JSIkh*#. Jean Jacques Rousseau was not troubled greatly by conscientious scru ples, yet he possessed the rare virtue of a broad, human sympathy in an eminent degree. Perhaps it was the consciousness of his own weaknesses that made him so sympathetic toward others. An anecdote is related of him which places this virtue of his in a strong light. On one occasion he had composed an opera, which was per formed before the king, IiOuis XV., and met with the royal approval. The king sent for him and if he had put in an appearance he would probably have obtained a pension. He was, however, of a retiring disposition and ! could not bring himself to face the ! court. To his friends he gave as a i reason his republican opinions, but his | real reason was his shyness. Accord j ingly he fled from the court and sought the privacy of a public inn. While he was there a man came in, who began telling the company that ; he was the celebrated Rousseau, and proceeded to give an account of hia opera, which, he said, had been per formed before the king with great suc cess. Most men in Rousseau’s position would have felt nothing but contempt for the impostor, but this extraordi nary man felt only pity and shame. “I trembled and blushed so,” he tells us in his “Confessions,” for fear the man should be found out, that it 1 might have been thought that I was the impostor." He was afraid that somebody might come in who knew him and expose the pretender. At last he could bear it no longer and slipped out unobserved. Very few people would treat an impostor like that— Detroit Free Press. What Secretary Knot Said. ' Senator, you seem to forget that war itself is a hard, a dreadful thing; yet our old men clamor for it and our young men rush into it as if It were a holiday amusement. The execu tive does not declare war.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON III. OCT. 20 GEN. 41: 38-49 JOSEPH EXALTED. (■olden Text! “Them That Honor Me I Will Honor” Interpretation of the Dreams Boise* Joseph to High Favor with the Kin?. I. Joseph Interprets Pharaoh's Dreams. —In our last lesson we left Joseph In prison. He had been kind to the chief butler who was released, and begged of the officer to remember him. when he 'again had influence with the king. But In his Hellish joy he forgot all about him. It was doubtless well for Joseph; for if the king tiad released him he might hnv« been sent to tile quarries, or he might have returned to Palestine; and the ap peal to the king. If unsuccessful, would have hindered his reference to him when tlie lime came. In due time (lod sent two strange dreams to Pharaoh. These dreams have a natural coloring. Out of the river Nile tame the cattle which furnished their food, and wheat was one of the chief products of the country. The same kind of wheat from seed taken front mummies grows in England. The best wheat in Midlothian Is mummy wheat. That or dinary dreams have In our da>. and had in those days, no special significance is undoubted. But “the time In which Jo seph lived was tlie childhood of Hi*1 world, when (lod had neither spoken much to men. nor could speak much, be ' a use as yet they had not learned tils language, but were only being slowly taught it l>y signs suited to their capac ity. If these men were to receive any knowledge beyond what their own un aided eiTorts could attain, they must l>< taught In a language they understood.'' Hence (lod spoke lo them In various ways, which are not necessary to us. lie cause we have tin* training of ages, the word spoken by prophets and chletly by Jesus Christ. “There Is nothing of the kind more certain than that dreams do sometimes even now impart most sig nificant warning lo men. ’ Dials. Nolle of the wise men of Egypt eoulil Interpret the dreams. Then thi butler re membered Joseph, and he was called out of prison, and. declaring the Interpreta tion to come from (tod, told Pharaoh that i lie two dreams had the same meaning. Seven years of an abundance, extraor dinary even for fruitful Egypt, were to be followed by seven years of still more ex traordinary dearth. Joseph went farther, and counseled Pharaoh to give some dis creet person authority over all the land, that lie might store up the surplus corn of ihe seven years of plenty against the s> \ en years of famine.” II.

"t’an we And such a one as this is,” tor the carrying out of the proposed plans? Doubtless the story of Joseph dur ing tils slavery and his prison life hail been made familiar to them, and by Ids past life, as well us his present wisdom, they saw clearly that he was especially fitted for the proposed work. "A man In whom the .Spirit of God Is.” lie attrib uted Joseph's wisdom and fidelity to the true source, as Joseph had done in their presence. One In whom God's Spirit dwells (1) will have the truest wisdom and unfailing sense: fill he will be faith ful to all his duties; (3) God's blessing will attend all his plans and deeds. III. Joseph's Great Work—Vs. 40-4!*. 4«. "And Joseph was thirty years old.” Uy this note of time we learn how main years Joseph was in servitude, for he was IT years old when sold into Egypt. "And .1 oseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh.' lie did not remain among the novel delights and pleasures of the court, but immediately went forth In the per formance ot the new duties of his office. And went through all the land of Egypt." To issue the proper orders and to see their execution.—Busk. Made an Immediate survey to determine the site and size of the storehouses required foi the different quarters of the country. .1 . F. and H. "This plenty was occasioned by the an nual rising of the waters of the Nile to an unusual height. The waters deposit on the land a rich loam which they bring down with them from the mountains above. It is this deposit which may be considered as constituting lhe wealth of Egypt. This will serve to explain the cause of that plenty which prevailed in Egypt during the seven years. The rains In Abyssinia were abundant, the Nile rose to an unwonted height, the deposits of the water were perhaps unusually rich and spread over an unusually large area, and the people sowed large quantities of grain anil reaped very abundant har vests.” Thornley Smith. There once ex isted oil the upper Nile "the great lake of Ethiopia." which about this time broke ils barriers and was known no more. The seven years of famine in Egypt must have been caused by the absence of the usual overflow of the Nile. Sir Sam uel Baker, the distinguished explorer of Africa, suggests as a possible cause of the famine in Egypt the damming up by enemies of th" Athbara river, the first large branch of the Nile, and flowing from Abyssinia. “The Athbara river is the stream that has actually formed the Delta by the rich deposit of its soil brought down from the fertile plains of Abyssinia. Without the Athbara river Egypt would obtain only a scant supply or water and would be certainly deprived of the fertilizing element of the annual inundation." "I have always believed, since I carefully examined the river sys tem of the Nile tributaries, that the sev en years of famine In l,ower Egypt dur ing the time of Joseph were occasioned by the stoppage of the Athbara river: also the Kabul and Hinder, affluents of the Blue Nile. The Ethiopians were con tinually at war with the Egyptians, and | they possessed the control of the Nile by damming and deflecting the waters of those affluents." "I can positively stale that the plan is feasible, and that should any European be in command at the re bellious center of the Soudan, his first strategical operation would be to deprive Egypt of the water necessary for her ex istence."- Sir Samuel Baker In Tomkins' Dife and Times of Joseph. In Borrowed Finery.

More than $50,000,000 worth of tim ber was destroyed by forest fires last year. The various countries of the world use 13.400 different kinds of postage stamps.
