In a recent sermon at Brooklyn Dr. Talmagc chose for his text, "Come' Genesis, vi. IS. 4Comc Revelations xxiL 17. Following is the sermon: Imperial, tender and all persuasive is this word "Come." Six hundred and seventy-eight times is it found in the Scriptures. It stands at the front gate of the Bible as in mj- first text, inviting antediluvians into Noah' ark, and it stands at the other gate of the Itiblc as in my second text, inviting the postr ililuvians into the ark of a Saviour's mercy. ''Come' is only a word of four letters, hut It is the queen of words, and nearly the entire nation of English vocabulary bows to its scepter. It is an ocean into which empty ten thousand rivers of meaning. Other word drivel but this.becknns. All moods of feeling hath that word "Come." Sometimes it weeps and sometimes it laughs. Some times it prays sometimes it tempts, and sometimes it destroys. It sounds from the door of the church and from the seraglios of sin,f rom the gates of Heaven and the gates of hell. It is confident andaccrweent of all power. It is the heiress of raostof the past and almoner oi most of the future. iCome. You may pronounce it so that all the heav ens will le heard in its cadences, or pro nounce it so that al! the woes of time nd eternity .shall reverberate in its one syllable. It is on the top lip of saint and profligate. It is the mightiest of all solicitants either for good or bad. To-day I weigh anchor, and haul in the planks, and set .sail on that great word, although I am sure I will not le able to reach the further shore. I will letdown the fathoming line into this sea and try to measure its depths, and, though I tie together all the cables and cordage I have on board, I will not le able to touch bottom. All the power of the Christian religion is in that word "Come." The dictatorial and corn mandatory in religion is of no avail. The imperative mood is not the appro priate mood when we would have peo ple savingly impressed. They may Ik. coaxed, but they can not be driven. Our hearts are like our homes; at a friendly knock the door will le opened, but an attempt to force ojxm our door would land the assailant in prison. Our theo logical seminaries, which keep young men three j-ears in theirnrriculum be fore launcliing them into the ministry. -a ill do well if in so short a time they can teach the candidates for the holy office how to say with right emphasis and intonation and power that one word "Come!" That man who has such efficiency in Christian work, and that woman who has such power to persuade people to quit the wrong and lcgin the right, went through a series of losses bereavements, persecutions and the trials of twenty or thirt years before they could make it a triumph of grace ex-cry time they uttered the word "Come." You must rememlicr that in many cases our "Come" has a mightier "Come' to conquer before it has any effect at all. Just give me the accurate census the statistics of how many are down in fraud, in drunkenness, in gambling, in impurity or in virc of any sort, and I will give 3011 the accurate census or statistics of how many have leen slain by the word "Come." "Come and click wine ghisses with me at this ivory bar." "Come and see what ve can win at this gaming table.' "Cmne, enter with me this doubtful specula tion." "Come with me and read those infidel tracts on Christianity." "Come with me to a place of bad amusement" "Come with me in a gay bout through underground New York." If in tins citj there are 20,000 who are down in moral character, then 20,000 fell under the power of the word "Come." I was reading of a wife whose husband had leen overthrown by strong drink, and she went to the saloon where he was ruined, and she said: "Give me back m3 husband." And the bartender, pointing to a maudlin and battered man drowsing in the corner of the barroom, said: 'There he is; .lim, wake up; here's your wife come for you." And the woman said: "I)o you call that my husband? What have you been doing with him? Is that the manly brow? Is that the clear eye? Is that the heart that I married? What vile drug have you given him that has turned him into a fiend? Take your tiger claws off of him. Uncoil those serpent folds of evil habit that are crushing him. Give me back my husband, the one with -a hom I stood at the altar ten years ago. Give him back to me." Victim was he, as millions of others have been, of the word "Come!" Now we want all the world over to harness this word for good as others have harnessed it for evil and it will draw the five continents and the seas between them; yea, it will draw the whole earth back to the God from whom it has wandered. It is that wooing and persuasive word that will lead men to give up their sins. Was skepticism ever brought into love of the truth by an ebulition of hot words against infi delity? Was ever the blasphemer stopped in his oaths by denunciation of blasphemy? Was ever a drunkard weaned from his cups by the temper ance lecturer's mimicry of staggering steps and hiccough? No. It was: "Come with me to church to-day and hear our singing;" "Come and let me introduce you to a Christian man whom tou will be sure to admire;" "Come with me into associations that arc cheerful and good and inspiring;" "Come with me "into joy such as you never before experienced." With that word which has done so much for others I approach you to-day. Arc you all right with God? "No," yon say, "I think I am not; I am sometimes alarmed when I think of Him; I fear I will not be ready to meet Him in the last day; my heart is not right with God. Come then and have it made right. Through the Christ who died to save you, come! What is the use in waiting? The longer you wait the further off you are and the deeper you are down. Strike out for Heaven! You remember that a few years ago a steamer called the Princess Alice, with a crowd of excursionists aboard, sank in the Thames, and there was an awful sacrifice of life, A boatman from the shore put out for the rescne, and he had a big boat, and he got it so full it would not hold another person, and as he laid hold of the oars to pull for the shore, leaving hundreds helpless and drown ing, he cried out: "O, that I had a big ger boat!" Thank God lam not lim ited, and that I can promise room for all in this gospel boat. .Get in; get ia! And yet there is -room. Boom in the heart of a pardoning God. Xosam ia Heaven. I also apply the word of any text to those who would like practical comfort. If any ever escape the straggle of life, I have not found them. They axe not certainly among the prosperous rlafifim Inmost cases it is a straggle all the way up till they reach the prosperity, and since they have reached these heights there hare been perplexities, societies and crises which were almost enbagh to shatter the nerves and turn the brain. It would be hard to tell which have the D'ggeat tght la ahla world the prosperities or the aavemi tiea, the consfKcuties or the obacaritfcs. Jast m boob as yo have enonffh sac cess to attract the attention of others, the envies and jealousies arc let loose from their kenncL The greatest crime you can conuult ia the estimation of others is to get on better than they do. They think your addition is their sub traction. Five hundred persoaa start for a certain goal of ssccess; one reaches it and the other 4W are mad. It would take volanes to hold the story of the wrongs, outrages and de falcations that have come upon you as a result of your success. The warm sun of prosperity brings iato life a swamp fall of annoying insects.' On the other hand the unfortunate elate have their struggles for maintenance. To achieve a livlihood by one who had nothing to start with, and carry this on until children are reared and educated and fairly started in the world, and to do this amid all the rivalries of busi ness and uncertainties of crops and the fickleness of tariff legislation, with an occasional labor strike and here and there a financial panic thrown in, is a mighty thing to do, and there are hun dreds and thousands such- heroes and heroines who live nnng and die unr honored. What we all -need, whether up or down in life or half way between, is the infinite solace of the Christian re ligion. And so we employ the word "Come!" It will take all eternity to I firwi , ,w ,.f win , j who - lietn traighteBcd l.y'the promises of God, and the people who have liccn fed by the ravens when other resources gave out, and the men and women who, going into this battle armed only with needle or saw, or ax, or yardstick, or pen, or type, or shovel, or shoe-last have gained a victory that made the heavens resound. With all the resources of God promised for every emergency, no one need be left in the lurch. I like the faith displayed years ago in Drury Lane, Iondon, in an humble home where every particle of food had given out, and a kindly soul entered with tea and other table supplies and found a fire ready for the tea. The benevolent lady said: "How is it that you have the kettle ready for the tea when you have no tea in the house?" And the daughter of the home said: "Mother would have me put the kettle on the fire, and when I said, 'what is the use of doing so, when we have nothing in the house? she said 'my child, God will provide; thirty 3ears he has alrcad3- provided forme through all 103 pain and helplessness and he will not leave me to starve at last no will send us help, though we do not yet see how.' We have been waiting all the day for something to come, but until we saw you we knew not how it was to come." Such things the world call coinci dences, but I call them almighty de livercnces and, though you do not hear of them, they are occurring every hour of the day in all parts of Christendom. Hut the word "Come" applied to those who need solace will amount to nothing unless it be uttered by some one who has experienced that solace. That spreads the responsibility of giving this gospel call among a great many. Those who have lost property and Wen con soled by religion in that trial, are the ones to invite those who have failed in business. Those who have lost their health and leen consoled 03 religion are the ones to invite the ones who are in oor health. Those who have had liereavcments and been consoled in those bereavements are tho ones to sympathize with those who have lost father or mother or companion or friend. What multitudesof us arc alive to-day and in good health and buoyant in this journey of life, who would have been broken down or dead long ago but for the sustaining and cheering help of our holy religion! So we say, "Come!" The well is not dry. The buckets arc not empty. The suppty L not exhaust ed. There is just as much mercy and condolence and soothing power in God as lief ore the first grave was dug, or the first tear was started, or the first heart broken, or the first accident happened or the first fortune vanished. Those of us who have felt the consolatory power of religion have a right to speak out of our own experience and say, "Come!" What dismal work of condolence the world makes when it attempts to con dole! The plaster they'spread does not stick. The broken bones under their bandage do not knit A farmer was lost in the snow storm on a prairie of the far West Night coming on and after he was almost frantic from not knowing which way to go his sleigh struck the rut of another sleigh and he said: "I will follow this rut and it will take me out to safety. " He hastened on until he heard the bells of the preced ing horses but, coining up, he found that that man was also lost aud, as is the tendency of those who arc thus con fused in the forest or on the moors they were both moving in a circle and the runner of the one lost sleigh was following the runner of the other lost sleigh round and round. At last it oc curred to them to look at the north star, which was peering through the night, and by the direction of that star they got home again. Those who follow the advice of this world in time of perplexity are in a fearful round, for it is one bewildered soul following another bewildered soul, and only those who have in such time got their eye on the morning star of our Christian faith can find their way out, or be strong enough to lead others with an all persuasive invitation. "Hut," says some one, "you Christian people keep telling us to 'come, yet you do not tell us how to come." That charge shall not be true on this occa sion. Come Tielieving! Come repent ing! Come praying! After all that God has been doing for G.aOQ. .years, sometimes through patriarchs andsome times through prophets, and at last through the culmination of all tragedies on Golgotha, can any one think that God will not welcome your coming? Will a father at vast outlay construct a mansion for his son, and lay out parks white with statues and green with foliage, and all a sparkle with fountains and then not allow his son to live in the house or walk in the parks? Has God built this house of gospel mercy and will He then refuse entrance to His children? Will a Gov ernment at great expense build life saving stations all along the coast and boats that can hover aahurt like a petrel over the wildest surge, and then when the lifeboat has reached the wreck of a ship in the offing not allow the drowning to seize the life-line or take the hoat for the shore in safety? Shall God provide at the cost of His only Son's assassination escape for a sinking world and then turn a deaf ear to the cry that comes up from the hntiK' Bat,"yousay, 'there ara so things I have to believe and so things m the shape of a creed that I haps Aint !.

Will yon stay in the prison of sin when here Is a gospel key that could unlock your incarceration? No; no! As the one word, "Come," has some times u brought many souls to Christ I will try the experiment of piling up into a mountain and then sent down in an avalanche of power many of these gospel "Coiaes." "Come thou and all thy house into the ark;" "Come uBto ma all ye who labor and are heavy laden and I will give yoa rest;" "Come, for all thiags are now ready;" "Come with ns and we will do you good;"' "Come and see;" "The Spirit and the Bride sa3 Come.' and let him that hcareth say 'come' and let him that is athirst come." The stroke of one bell in a tower may le sweet but a score of bells well tuned, and rightly lifted and skillfully swung in one great chime fill the heavens with music al most celestial. And no one who has heard the mighty chimes in the towers of Amsterdam, or Ghent, or Copen hagen, can forget them. .Now it seems to me that in this Sab bath hour all Heaven is chilling, and the voices of departed friends and kin dred ring down the sky sayiug, "Come!" The angels who never fell, bending from sapphire thrones are chanting "Come!" Yea, all the towers of Heaven, tower of martyrs tower of prophets, totver of apostles tower of evangelists, tower of the temple of the Lord God and the Lamb are chiming. "Come! Come!" Pardon for all, and peace for all, and Heaven for all who will come. When Russia was in one arf her great wars the suffering of the soldiers had been long and bitter and they were wait ing for the end of the strife. One day a messenger in great excitement ran among the tents of the army shouting: "Peace! Peace!" The sentinel on guard asked; "Who says 'Peace?'" And the sick soldier turned on his hospital mat tress and asked: "Who says Perce?" and all up and down the ei arapment of the Russians went the question: "Who says "Peace?" Then the messenger re sponded: "The Czar says 'Peace.'" That was enough. Th.it meant going home. That meant the war was over. No more wounds and no more long marches. So to-day, as one of the Lords messengers I move through these great encampments of souls and cry: "Peace between earth and Heaven! Peace between God and man! Peace be tween your repenting soul and a par doning Lord!" If you ask me, "who says Peace?" I answer: "Christ our King, declares it;" "M3' peace I give unto you!" "Peace of God that pass eth all understanding!" "Everlasting Peace!" CURIOUS DREAM LORE. Interpretatiaaa of Yinioas f the 'leht Taat Have Tkelr Slf-aislcaacr.

Two feeding experiments for the pur pose of ascertaining the value of ground oats and of bran for milch cows, were conducted :it the Wisconsin Kxnerimcnt Station during the lust 3ear. Two cows were used on the first experiment and four on the t econd one. The cows were fed the sumo quantities, bv weight of oats and bnin. eight pounds daily per head on this first experiment and ten pounds on the second, and, in addition, the same fundamentil ration of eorn tneal, hay and corn silage or fodder corn. The effect of similar weights of oats or bran in a ration for milch cows was thus studied. It.wjis found that the cows invariably did letter on oats, going up in milk 3-ield when coming on oats and going down when bran was fed. while the fat content of the milk remained the same on an average. The average figures for the six cows nre given in the following table: AVKKACC YIELIi OF MII.K ASD MU.K AT ON ItOTH ILXPKKlMlLN-r1!. . rr Dally milk F t pro yield per dared per coxr.

Thus, as the average for six cows, a gain of alnmt ten per cent in the milk and milk fat was found, resulting from feeding of oats instead of an equal quautit3 of bran. This result was shown to have been produced from ;ilout equal quantities of food materials in the two cases, ajad the oats therefore seom to have a high er nutritive effect with milch cows. than Iiuk bran. When the financial aspeet of the question is considered, it will le seen that at the present market prices for the two feeds, bran Stl per ton and oats twentj'-three cents per bushel, the former is the cheaper feed of the two. The conclusion reached by the two experiments is. that where the difference in price lwtween the two feeds is greater than ten percent in favor of the bran, it is not good econ omy to feed oats to milch cows in pref erence to bran. Western Rural. GOOD SAW HORSE. Jast the Thlnr 'eetled lir I'araier la Timber Cnantnr. One of the liest saw horses I have ever seen is made of a log six to eight feet long and eight inches in diameter. Four legs are put into it with an inch-and-a-half auger and six pins set in the top in the same manner. These are to hold the' wood to be cut as shown in the engraving. When a stick has been placed in the rack it must be slid under a small chain which hangs over the main body of the horse and between two of the pins which arc near together. This chain hangs in a loop low enough to ahaiost touch the ground. A piece of board four feet long- and three to faar inehes wide completes the Whan the stick has been placed where it is wished to saw it the foot is fax upon the board and the stick to he sawed can never stir, while it can he easily drawn along when- one stick has been cutoff.

I ached all day under the shoulder blades, in the left side, and down the back of my limbs.

I tried everywhere, and got no relief before using August Flower Then the change came. It has done me a wonderful deal of good during the time I have taken it and is work ing a complete cure." G. G.
