Singular Climatic Effects.
Say a the Denver (Col.) Great West:
It is a singular fact that almost every
body loses flesh on coming here from
the East. The average loss in weight
sustained is about one-eighth. For in
stance, in the course of two or three
months a 200-pound man loses twenty
five pounds and becomes a 175-pounder.
This is due to the high altitude of Den
ver—a mile above the sea to the dry and
light atmosphere, to the scarcity of vegi
tation and the comparative abundance
of oxygen, which consumes the tissues
and taxes the vital functions to a greater
extent than on lower altitudes. Higher
up it is much worse than here. At Lead
vrlle, for instance, Which is two miles
above the sea level, the diminution in
weight does not generally fall short of a
sixth or seventh, and it takes place
much more rapidly than here. In that
high altitude, too, lung diseases, such as
pneumonia, very frequently set in, and
they prove fatal in about 30 per cent, of
the cases attacked. But very tew dogs,
except hounds, can live in Leadville,
and no cats survive there. In Denver,
however, we have a multitude of both
dogs and cats, and they appear to ex
perience no special difficulty about liv
ing and getting fat. Yet it is a
noticeable fact that animals and men lose
a share of their strength after coming
here. After being here two or three
months their muscular power is not near
so great as in the East. Eight hours of
continuous labor does more to exhaust
and prostrate a man here than ten hours
in Illinois or Wiscousin. And when
worn out and prostrated a feeling of las
situde and drowsiness that it is very dif
ficult to dispel comes over one. In such
instances many hours of rest are requi
site to rep;iir and rebuild the wasted en
ergies. Mental labor is even more ex
hausting than physical. A healthy man
may do manual labor for eight or ten
hours a day and experience therefrom no
special evil effects ; but let mental labor
be pursued with like assiduity and the
nervous system becomes weakened and
irritable. In time the physical powers
become disordered and weakened by
sympathy and by the strain upon them
to supply the brain waste. These facts
are more predicable of new-comers than
of those who have resided for a year or
more at high altitudes. Persons and an
imals thoroughly acclimated do not ex
perience these drawbacks. Indeed, these
could not look better anytvhere than
they appear here. The great difficulty
is in getting acclimated.

DR. TALMAGE SAYS THE SAB
BATH MUST BE SAVED.
It Cane to Ua on the Mayflower and
Will Leave Ue on the Ark of Na
tional Destruction If We Are Not
Vigilant of God's Command.
Brooklyn, June 24.—For to-day,
Rev. Dr. Talmage has chosen a sub
ject of world-wide interest as the
theme of his sermon through the
press, viz.: the necessity of guarding
the Christian Sabbath against inva
sions that aim at its destruction. The
text selected was Ex. 31:13, “Verily,
My Sabbaths Ye Shall Keep.”
The wisdom of cessation from hard
labor one day out of seven is almost
universally acknowledged. The world
has found out that it can do less work
in seven days than in six, and that the
fifty-two days of the year devoted to
rest are an addition rather than a sub
traction. Experiments have been made
in all departments. The great Lord
Castlereagh thought he could work
his brain three hundred and sixty-five
days in the year, but after awhile
broke down and committed suicide;
and Wilberforce said of him. “Poor
Castlereagh! Tnis is the result of the
non-observance of the Sabbath!”
A celebrated merchant declared: “I
should have been a maniac long ago
but for the Sabbath.” The nerves,
the brain, the muscles, the bones, the
entire physical, intellectual and moral
nature cry out for the Sabbatic rest
What is true of man is, for the most
part, true of the brute. Travelers
have found out that they come to
their places of destination sooner
when they let their horses rest by the
way on the Sabbath. What is the
matter with those forlorn creatures
harnessed to some of the city cars?
Why do they stumble, and stagger,
and fall? It is for the lack of the
Sabbatic rest.
In other days, when the herdsmen
drove their sheep and cattle from the
far west down to the seaboard, it was
found out by experiment that these
herdsmen and drovers who halted
over the seventh day got down sooner
to the seaboard than those who passed
on without the observance of the holy
Sabbath. The fishermen off the coast
of Newfoundland declare that those
men during the year catch the most
fish who stop during the Lord’s day.
When I asked the Rocky Mountain
locomotive engineer why he changed
locomotives when it seemed to be a
straight route, he said: “VVe have to
let the locomotive stop and cool off or
the machinery wonld soon break
down.” Men who made large quanti
ties of salt were told that if they al
lowed their kettles to cool over Sun
day they would submit themselves to
a great deal of damage. The experi
ment was made, some observing the
Sabbath and some not observing the
Sabbath. Those who allowed
the fires go down and the kettles to
cool once a week were compelled to
spend only a few pennies in the way
of repairs; while in the case where no
Sabbath was observed, many dollars
were demanded for repairs.
In other words, intelligent man, i
dumb beast, and dead machinery
cry out for the Lord’s day. But
while the attempt to kill the Sab
bath by the stroke of axe and flail
and yardstick has beautifully failed,
it is proposed in our day to drown the
Sabbath by flooding it with secular
amusements. They would bury it
very decently under the wreath of the
target conpanv and to the music of
all brazen instruments.
There are to-day, in the different
cities, ten thousand hands and ten
thousand pens busy in attempting to
cut out the heart of our Christian Sab
bath, and leave it a bleeding skeleton
of what it once was. The effort is or
ganized and tremendous, and unless the
friends of Christ and the lovers of
good order shall rouse up right speed
ily, their sermons and protests will be
uttered after the castle is taken.
There are cities in the land where the
Sabbath has almost perished, and it
is becoming a practical question
whether we who received a pure Sab
bath from the hands of our fathers
shall have piety and pluck enough to
give to our children the same blessed
inheritance. The eternal God helping
us, we will!
I protest against this invasion of the
holy Sabbath, in the first place, be
cause it is a war on Divine enactment
God says, in Isaiah; “If thou turn
away thy foot from doing thy pleasure
on my holy day, thou shalt walk upon
the high places.” What did he mean
by “doing thy pleasure?” He referred
to secular and worldly amusements.
A man told me he was never
so much frightened as in the
midst of an earthquake, when
the beasts of the field bellowed in
fear, and even the barnyard fowls
screamed in terror. Well, it was when
the earth was shaking and the sky
was all full of fire that God made the
announcement: “Remember the Sab
bath day to keep it holy.-’
Go through the streets where the
theaters are open on a Sabbath night;
go up on the steps; enter the boxes
of these places of entertainments,
and tell me if that is keeping the
Sabbath holy. “O,” says some one,
"God won’t be displeased with a grand
sacred concert.” A gentleman who
was present at a “grand sacred con
cert” one Sabbath night in one of the
theaters of our great cities, said that
during the exercises there were comic
and sentimental songs, interspersed
with coarse jokes; and there were
dances, and a farce, and tight rope
walking, and a trapeze performance.
I suppose it was a holy dan^e and a
consecrated tight rope. This is what
they call a “grand sacred concert”
W’e hear a great deal of talk about
"the rights of the people” to have
just auch amusements on Sunday as
they want to have. I wonder if the
Lord has any rights You rule youi
family, the governor rules the state,
the President rules the whole land; I
wonder if the Lord lias a right to rule
the nations and make the enactment,
“Remember the Sabbath day to keep
it holy,” and if there is any appeal
to a higher court from that de
cision, and if the men who are
warring against the enactment are
not guilty of high treason against the
maker of heaven and earth. They
have in our cities put God on triaL It
has been the theaters and the opera
houses, plaintiffs, vs. the Lord Al
mighty, defendant; the suit has been
begun, and who shall come out a_he>i
you know. Yi'i her it be popular or
unpopular, I now announcet it as mv
opinion that the people have no rights
save those which the great Jehovah
gives them. He has never given the
right to man to break his holy Sab
bath, and as long as his throne stands,
he never will give that right.
The prophet asks a question which
I can easily answer, "Will a man rob
God?” Yes. They robbed him last
Sunday night at the theaters and the
opera houses, and I charge upon them
the infamous and h . u-hand -d larceDy,
I hold the same opinion as a sailor I
have heard of. The crew had been
discharged from the vessel because
they would not work while they were
in port on the Lord's day. The cap
tain went out to get sailors. He found
one man and he said to him, “Will
you serve me on the Sabbath?” “No.”
“Why not?” “Well,” replied the old
sailor, “a man who will rob God Al
mighty of his Sabbath would rob me
of my wages if he got a chance. ”
Suppose you were poor, and you
came to a dry goods merchant and
asked for some cloth for garments,
and he should say, “I’ll give you six
yards;” and while he was off from the
counter binding up the six yards you
should go behind the counter and
steal one additional yard. That is
what every man does when he breaks
the Lord’s Sabbath. God gives us six
days out of seven, reserving one for
himself, and if you will not let him
have it, it is mean beyond all compu
tation.
Again: l am opposed to this dese
cration of the Sabbath by secular en
tertainments because it is a war on
the statutes of most of the states.
The law in New York state says:
“It shall not be lawful to exhibit,on
the first day of the week, commonly
called Sunday, to the public, in any
building, garden, grounds, courtroom
or other room or place within the city
and county of New York, any inter
lude, tragedy, comedy, opera, ballet,
piay, farce, negro minstrelsy, ne-ro
or other dancing, or any other enter
tainment of the stage, or any part or
parts therein, or any equestrian, cir
cus, or dramatic performance, or any
performance of jugglers, acrobats or
rope-dancing.”
Was there ever a plainer enactment
than that? W'ho made the law? You,
who at the ballot boxes decided
who should go to Albany and sit in
the legislature. You who in any region
exercise the right of suffrage. They
made the law for you and for your fam
ilies. and now I say that any man who
attempts to over-ride that law insults
you and me and every man who has
the right of suffrage.
Still further: I protest against the
invasion of the Sabbath, because it is
a foreign war. Now, if' you hear at
this moment the booming of a gun in
the harbor, or if a shell from some for
eign frigate should drop into your
street, would you keep your seats in
church? You would want to face the foe
and every gun that could be managed
would be brought into use, and every
ship that could be brought out of the
navy yard would swing from her
anchorage, and the question would be
decided. Y’ou do not want a foreign
war, and yet I have to tell you that
this invasion of God's holy day is a
foreign war.
As among our own native-born pop
ulation there are two classes—the
good and the bad; so it is with
the people who come from other
shores—there are the law-abiding and
the lawless. The former are welcome
here The more of them the better
we like it. But let not the lawless
come from other shores expecting to
break down our Sabbath and institute
in the place of it a foreign Sabbath.
I will make a comparison between
the American Sabbath, as some of yon
have known it, and the Parisian Sab
bath. I speak from observation. On
a Sabbath morning I was arroused in
Paris by a great sound in the street,
I said: “What is this?" “O,” they
said, “this is Sunday.” An unusual
rettle of vehicles of all sorts. The
voices seemed more boisterous than
on other davs. People running to
and fro, with baskets or bundles,
to get to the rail trains or gar
dens It seemed as if all the vehicles
in Paris, of whatever sort, had turned
out for the holiday. The “Champs
Elysees” one great mob of pleasure
seeking people Balloons flying.
Parrots chattering. Footballs rolling.
Peddlers hawking their knick-knacks
through the streets. Punch and Judy
shows in a score of places, each one
with a shouting audience. Hand
organs, symbals, and every kind
of racket, musical and unmusical.
When the evening came down,
all the theaters were in full blaze of
music, and full blaze of light The
winestores and saloons were thronged
with an unusual number of customers.
At even-tide I stood and watched the
excursionists coming home, fagged out
men, women and children, a gulf
stream of fatigue, irritability, and
wretchedness; for I think it would
take three or four dnys to get over
that miserable way of Sundaying. It
seemed more like an American Fourth
of July than a Christian Sabbath.

CUBE ICE A NEW WRINKLE, j
'.ompi la All Sizes From a Half Onnre t'p !
Frozen to Order.
An ingenious aparatus for the man- '
ufaeture of “cube ice” is an invention .
recently exhibited in London. Tho
machine is a simple one, in which
blocks of pure artificial ice are
placed, emerging in the same but
stronger shape and possessing some
peculiar characteristics. When tap
ped with au ice chisel or even a pen
knife, they break up into cubes of
convenient size, instead of shattering
into irregular and ill-assorted lumps.
Tho invention is of hygienic impor
tance, too, for the machine also
stamps plainly on each of the sym
metrical cubes the trade-mark of the
maker. Thus tho consumer is pro
tected by this *‘name-blown-:n-the
battle” device, the stamp being
a guarantee of tho purity of tho arti
cle and its origin. Tho invention
has also the virtue of economy, as
there is no waste from broken ice
and the cubes are symmetrical and
attractive. The Lancet thus ex
plains the invention:
in tne course ol some exDorimenls
Mr. Vander Weyde observed that ice
at a temperature below freezing
point, when newly cut and left in
contact, adhered so strongly that it
would not break in the same place,
whereas when exposed to a warmer
temperature it would split at the
originally cut places with great
ease; and so, with this extended
knowledge of the interesting phe
nomenon of regelation, first brought
to light by Faraday and afterward
studied by Tyndall, Mr. Vander
Weyde developed his invention as
the outcome of its practical applica
tion. The phenomenon of regelation
is the result of the action of capillary
force at the boundaries of the film
of water which connects the pieces
placed in contact, producing an ef
fect equivalent to attraction between
them, just as two plates of clean
glass with a film of water between
them seem to adhere. Ice being wet
by water, the boundary of the con
necting film is concave, and this con
cavity implies a diminution of pres
sure in the interior. The film ac
cordingly exerts upon the ice a pres
sure less than atmosphere, and as
the remote sides of the blocks are
exposed to atmospheric pressure
there is a reluctant force urging
them together and producing stress
at the small surface of contact.
Melting of the ice therefore occurs
at the places ot contact and the cold
thus evolved freezes at adjacent por
tions of the water film, which, being
at less than atmospheric pressure,
will begin to freeze at a temperature
a little above the normal freezing
point. It is necessary to allow the
block to “warm” for a short time, so
that the “cement” of ice loses its
previously tenacious hold upon the
small cubes into which the block is
divided. Then, after this warming
up process, the cubes are as easily
separated as postage stamps from a
perforated sheet. A sixteen-pound
block of ice, for instance, can easily
be divided into 512 half-ounce cubes,
or a thirty-two-pound block into 512
one ounce cubes.
* A Singular Story.
In a public address delivered in
Pittsburg a few days ago, Kev. Dr.
Sheldrake, of Kentucky, related
these singular stories: “There was
a member ot the Kentucky presby
tery, whom I knew very well, who
frequently went into a sort of walk
ing sleep. While in this condition
he would preach most eloquent ser
mons, but when he came out he
could not remember a word that he
had said. On one occasion a copy of
the French testament was handed to
him to conduct family worship at
the bouse of a well-known citizen of
Frankfort. Although utterly ignorant
of the French language, he read a
chapter and then commented there
on at length in English. On another
occasion, while in this condition, he
remarked to his friends that a cer
tain minister in Nebraska was in
trouble, and that he had just written
a letter to Kentucky detailing the
circumstances. He then proceeded
to give the contents of the letter,
and his words were taken down by
some one present. Two days later
the letter arrived from Nebraska,
and it was identical, word for word,
with the one the minister had dic
tated while in the walking sleep.”
The speaker cited these instances to
show the life of the soul independent
of the body, and argued therefrom
the immortality of the former.
The Diplomatic Corps.
An interesting fact not generally
known in regard to the diplomatic
corps is that a member of that au
gust body cannot, under the penalty
of official reprimand and danger of
recall, appear at a fancy ball in the
national court costume. This fact
was developed during the past
winter when a large fancy ball was
given at one of the private houses
on the same evening of the presi
dential reception to the diplomatic
corps. Those of the diplomats who
attended the ball later in the even
ing were obliged to first change the
court costume worn at the White
house. Inquiry on the part of curi
ous friends developed the reason just
stated.

Absolutely pure
Tramps and Ihelr Signs.
Jim Ward, who signs himself “Chief,”
writes to the Troy Times: I have just
returned to your cif.;, after a tour of
exploration down South lasting several
months, and reading in your paper an
article on tramps and their marks, I
desire to be allowed, as an old veteran
of that “honorable” body known as “the
tramp organization,” to correct a few
mistakes. I claim that the tramps were
the originators of the mystic marks
which have so frequently adorned
fences, gate posts and doors, although
it is possible that soap agents—mem
bers of another branch of the tramp
organization—Lave since adopted these
marks for business purposes. When
tramping was good—and that was some
years ago—it was understood by us that
all houses where the inmates were good
for food, clothing or money were to be
marked in order to give us little trou
ble when we wanted anything. Where
only a meal could be obtained, this fact
was indicated by a small square; where
a fellow would get the grand bounce an
X expressed it, and for clothing he was
directed by XX. Money houses were
marked $; a house where the inmates
were friendly, but the dog unfriendly,
was marked by a great big D. But at
the present day tramps are not guided
by these marks, as there are few houses
where tramps are regularly fed. The
tramp bore is now played out, but
whatever may be said against the tramp
it cannot be denied that he has made
his marn in this world.

A Sad Death.
A minister was summoned to the bed
side of a dying man. The man who lay,
gradually obeying the grave summons,
gasped and groaned. The minister
moved to the bedside and held the hand
of the victim. The wife, wild with grief,
sank to the floor.
“My friend,” said the minister, “you
are a man whose prosperous condition
in tins life has allowed you much time
for devotional exercises. Your dear lit
tle children, your wife informs me, are
visiting relatives. They will not see
their father die. How many children
have you ?”
“ Thirteen,” gasped the dying man.
“I had no idea that you had so many.
Poor little ones. Your poor wife looks
as though she will die. Judging from
your number of children I should think
that you had been married more than
once. How many wives has the good
Lord granted you ?”
“Fifteen,” groaned the man.
“Surelynot so many,” said the min
ister. “ Think of this matter seriously.
How many times have you been mar
ried?”
“Fourteen,” and the victim fell back
exhausted.
“Are you willing to die?” asked the
minister, after a pause.
“Move tliree up, six down and eight
to the left!”
“ Are you prepared to share the glo

“ Move ten up 1”

have you accomplished ?”
“Thirteen, fifteen, fourteen,” and the
man was dead.—Little Lock Gazette.

DOES IT PAY TO THIS CORN?
It has been urged by some that it is
best to plant many more kernels than
are wanted for a stand, then thinning
the corn when of proper size, say six
to fourteen inches high, being careful
to remove the weaker stalks. In order
to compare the resuits of this method
with that of planting only so many ker
nels as will give the desired number of
stalks per acre without thinning, the
Ohio university conducted the follow
ing experiment: Four-fifths of an acre
of land from which the soil had been
removed some years previous for mak
ing brick, was measured and divided
into four equal parts.
A strip of uniform width across the
plats was laid out, giving an equal
amount in each plat- Melilotus or
sweet clover was grown on the land
the four seasons of 1888 to 1891 inclu
sive. The melilotus was not cut, but
was allowed to go down each year and
re-seed the land. A crop of wheat was
cut from this land in 1892. Aside from
any effect which the melilotus may
have had the land was practically uni
form in quality and condition. Two
plats were planted at the rate of one
grain per foot in the rows. The seed
was excellent and almost every grain
grew. These plats were not thinned.
Two plats were planted at the rate of
three grains per foot in the rows, and
were thinned to practically the same
number of stalks per acre as were then
on the plats not thinned. The thin
ning was done July 7, just four weeks
after planting, and the corn ranged
from one to two feet high. The plats
which were thinned yielded CG6 pounds
of ear corn, while those which were not
thinned yielded 812 pounds, a decrease
of 14 per cent, due to the thinning.
This was an exceptionally dry season.
The thinning probably caused more in
jury than would ordinarily result.
Indisputable.
