I Washington , Dec. 13 , 18DC In this
K sermon from a bible scene never used
, in. scrmonic discourse , Dr. Talmago
" J draws some startling lessons , and tears
' I off the masque o deceit. The text is
I. Kings 14 : G : "Why felgnest them
thyself to be another ? "
In the palace or wicked Jeroboam
beam there is a sick child , a very sick
\ child. Medicines have failed ; skill is
1 | exhausted. Young Abijah , the prince ,
\ has lived long enough to become very
popular , and yet he must die unless
| pome supernatural aid be afforded.
Death conies up the broad stairs of the
j ! palace and swings back the door of the
sick room of royalty , and stands look-
| ins at the dying princewith the dart
I uplifted. Wicked Jeroboam knows that
h he has io right to ask anything of the
p Lord in the way of kindness. lie knows
jl ; that his prayers would not be an-
jj | Hwcred , and so he sends his wife on the
j I delicate and tender mission to the
j | prophet cf the Lord in Shiloh. Put-
B ting azidc her royal attire , she puts on
> t-hc garb of a peasant woman , and
j starts on the road. Instead of carry-
K ing gohl and gems , as she might have
H carried from the palace , she carries
H only those gifts which seem to indicate
H ! that she belongs to the peasantry a
j few lra.es of bread and a few cracknels
H ] nlu " a fruse of honey. Yonder she goes ,
j hooded and veiled , the greatest lady In
j al ! the kingdom , yet parsing unob-
pcr\ed. No one that meet3 her on the
highway has any idea that she is the
1
iii st lady in all the land. She is a
_ . queen in disguise. The fact is that
i j Peter the Great , working in the dry
J docks of Saardam , the sailor'3 hat and
j the shipwright's axe gave him no more
j , thorough disguise than the garb of the
j peasant woman gave to the queen of
j Tirzah. But the prophet of the Lord
! j saw the deceit. Although his physical
j i eyesight had failed , he was divinely 11-
lumiued , and at one glance looked
II i through the imposition , and he cried
| out : "Ccmc in , thou wife of Jero--
M , , I boam. Why feignest thou thyself to
Le another ? I have evil tidings for
thee. Get thee back , to thy house , and
J when thy feet touch the gate of the
J city , the child shall die. " She had a
HJ i rijrht to ask for the recovery of her son ;
Hi she had no * right to practice an inipo-
HJ > > sition. Eroken-hearted now , she start-
HJ | | p ed on the way , the tears falling on the
HJ 11 dust of the road all the way from
HJ j [ Shiloh to Tirzah. Broken-hearted now ,
Hi I ] she is not careful any more to hide her
M | j queenly gait and manner. True to the
M 11 prophecy , the moment her feet touch
the gate of the city , the child dies. As
H | she goes in , the soul of the child goes
HI 1 out. The cry in the palace is joined by
M I the lamentation of a nation , and as they
HHJ | carry good Abijah to his grave , the air
Hj is filled with the voice of eulogy for the
H departed youth , and the groan of an
H afflicted kingdom.
HHH The story of the text impresses me
Bj "with the fact that royalty sometimes
K passes in disguise. The frock , the veil ,
K the hood of the peasant woman hid
K the queenly character of this woman
H | of Tirzah. Nobody suspected that she
mj was a queen or a princess as she passed
Hi by , but she was just as much a oueen
HHH as though she stood in the palace , her
B robes incrusted with diamonds. And
B so all around about us there are prin-
B cesses and queens whom the world
K does not recognize. They sit on no
H throne of royalty , they ride in no chariot -
| iot , they elicit no huzza , they make no
H pretense , but by the grace of God they
H are princesses and they are queens.
HHH Sometimes in their poverty , sometimes
B in their self-denial , sometimes in their
H hard struggles of Christian service
H God knows they are queens ; the world
H does not recognize them. Royalty
B passing in disguise. Kings without
| the crown , • onquerors without the
B palm , empresses without the jewel.
| H You saw her yesterday on the
I H street. You saw nothing important in
| B her appearance , but she is regnant over
1 a vast realm of virtue and goodness
1 a realm vaster than Jeroboam ever
H looked at. You went down into the
B house of destitution and want and suf-
H fcring. You saw the story of trial
H written on the wasted hand of the
H mo Jier , on the pale cheeks of the chil-
H dren , on the empty bread-tray , on the
B fireless hearth , on the broken chair.
| You would not have given a dollar for
b -nil the furniture in the house. But by
J the grace of God she is a princess. The
H overseers of the poor come there and
1 discuss the case and say , "It's a pau-
H per. " They do not realize that God has
B burnished for her a crown , and that
H after she has got through the fatiguing
H journey from Tirzah to Shiloh and
H from Shiloh back to Tirzah , there will
H he a throne of royalty on which she
H shall rest forever. Glory veiled. Af-
H fluence hidden. Eternal raptures hushed
H up. A queen in mask. A princess in
H disguise.
H But there was a grander disguising.
H The favorite of a great house looked
H out of the window of his palace and he
B itv that the people were carrying
Bbb ispw ' M-fione ; anf' that some of them
B sere hobbling on crutches , and he saw
H some of them lying at the gate cxhibit-
KVAl tng their sores , and then he heard their
H lamedtation , and he said : "I will just
H put on the clothes of those poor people
H and I will go down and sec what their
H sorrows are , and I will sympathize with
H them , and I will be one of them , and I
H will help them. " Well , the day came
H for him to start The lords of the land
H came to see him off. All who could
M sing joined m the parting song , which
B shook the hills and woke up the shep-
H herds. The first few nights he has been
M sleeping with the hostlerg and the
H camel-drivers , for no one knew there
B was a Icing in town. He went among

the doctors of the law , astounding
them ; for without any doctor's gown

He fished with the fishermen. He smote
with his own hammer in the carpenter's
shop. He ate raw corn out of the field.
He fried fish on the banks of the Gen-
ncsaret. He was howled at by crazy
people in the tombs. He was splashed
of the surf of the sea. A pilgrim with
out any pillow. A sick man without
and medicament. A mourner with no
sympathetic bosom in which he could
pour his tears. Disguise complete. I
• know that occasionally his divine roy
alty flashed out , as when in the storm
on Galilee , as in the red wine at the
wedding banquet , as when he freed the
shackled demoniac of Gadara , as when
he turned a whole school of fish
Into , the net of the discouraged
boatmen , as when he throbbed life into
the shriveled arm of the paralytic ; but
for the most part ho was in disguise.
No one saw the king's jewels in his
sandal. No one saw the royal
robe in hi3 plain coat. No ono
knew that that shelterless Christ
owned all the mansions in which
the hierarchs of heaven had their hab
itation. None knew that that hun
gered Christ owned all the olive
groves , and all the harvests which
shook their gold on the hills of Pal
estine. No one knew that he who said
"I thirst" poured the Euphrates out
of his own chalice. No one knew that
the ocean lay in the palm of his hand
like a dewdrop in the vase of a lily.
No one knew that the stars , and
moons , and suns , and galaxies , and
constellations that marched on age
after age , were , as compared with his
lifetime , the sparkle of a firelly on a
summer night. No one knew that the
sun in mid-heaven was only the shad
ow of his throne. No one knew that
his crown ofi universal dominion was
covered up with a bunch of thorns.
Omnipotence sheathed in a human
body. Omniscience hidden in a hu
man eye. Infinite love beating in a
human .heart. Everlasting harmonies
subdued into a human voice. Royalty
en masque. Grandeurs of heaven in
earthly -disguise.
My subject also impresses me with
how precise and accurate and particu
lar are God's providences. Just at the
moment that woman entered the city ,
the child died. Just as it was prophe
sied , so it turned out , so it always
turns out. The event occurs , the death
takes place , the nation is born , the
despotism is' overthrown at the ap
pointed time. God drives the universe
with a stiff rein. Events do not just
happen so. Things do not go slip
shod. In all the book of God's provi
dences there is not one "if. " God's
providences are never caught in disha
bille. To God there are no surprises ,
no disappointments and no accidents.
The most insignificant event flung out
in the ages is the connecting link be
tween two great chains the chain of
eternity past and the chain of eternity
to come. I am no fatalist , but I should
be completely wretched if I did not
feel that all the affairs of my life are
ia God's hand , and all that pertains to
me and mine , just as certainly as all
the affairs of this woman of the text ,
as this child of the text , as this
king of the text , were in God's
hand. You may ask me a hundred
questions I cannot .answer , but I shall
until the day of my death believe that
I am under the unerring care of God ;
and the heavens may fall , and the
world may burn , and the judgment
may thunder , and eternal ages may
roll , but not a hair shall fall from
my head , not a shadow shall drop on
my path , not a sorrow shall transfix
my heart without being divinely ar
ranged arranged by a loving , sympa
thetic Father. He bottles our tears , he
catches our sorrows , and to the orphan
he will be a Father , and to the widow
he will be a husoand , and to the out
cast he will be a home , and to the
most miserable wretch that this day
crawls up out of the ditch of his abom
ination crying for mercy , he will be
an all-pardoning God. The rocks shall
turn gray with age , and. the forests
shall be unmoored in the last hurri
cane , and the sun shall shut its fiery
eyelid , and the stars shall drop like
blasted figs , and the continents shall
go down like anchors in the deep , and
the ocean shall heave its last groan
and lash itself with expiring agony ,
and the world shall wrap itself in a
winding sheet of flame and leap on
the funeral pyre of the judgment day ;
but God's love shall not die. It will
kindle its suns after all other lights
have gone out. It will be a billowy
sea after the last ocean has wept it
self awa3It will warm itself by the
fire of a consuming world. It will
sing While the archangel's trumpet is
pealing forth and the air is filled with
the crash of broken sepulchres and the
rush of the wings of the rising dead.

She's little you don't wish her taller ;
Just half through the teens is her

Her walk is far better than dancing ;
She speaks as another might sing ;
And all by an innocent chancing
Like lambkins and birds in the

Unskilled in the airs of the city
She's perfect in natural grace ;
She's gentle and truthful and witty ,
And ne'er spends a thought on her

Her face , with the fine glow that's in

As fresh as an apple-tree bloom
And oh ! when she comes , in a minute ,
Like sunbeams , she brightens the

As taking in mind as in feature ,
How many will sigh for her sake !
I wonder , the sweet little creature ,
What sort of a wife she would make ?
A German Joke.
The Germans have an odd character ,
a certain baron , who is made responsi
ble for many absurd and ludicrous
things. Whenever anything particu
larly striped for whimsical happens it
is straightway attributed to the bar
on. Consequently , many amusing
stcries are related of the baron , just as
in this country all kinds of mistakes
have been heaped upon the shoulders
of the late Mr. Stetson , the theatrical
man. At one time the baron went to
Venice , and seeing the pigeons on St.
Mark paused in wonder and began to
count them. He was getting on nicely
v/ith his calculation when some one
tapped him on the shoulder.
"Here " said stern-faced brigand
, you , the -
gand , "are you counting those
pigeons ? "
"I was , " replied the baron humbly.
"Very well , you have to pay me one
lira for every pigeon you counted. "
"If that is the law , here are forty
lire , " responded the baron , counting
out the money.
The brigand looked over it carefully
and took his departure. Then the bar
on became convulsed with merriment
and shook his fists boisterously after
the retreating figure.
"Fool ! Idiot ! " he exclaimed. "I
gave you forty lire , and I counted 160
pigeons. " Detroit Free Press. '
Ho "Was Just "Wondering1 .
A small boy in Alameda found a
lovely sand heap in front of his father's
house the other morning and he built
roads and houses until he was tired of
playing in the dry sand. Then he car
ried a bucket of water and mixed up a
beautiful mud puddle. It was a warm
day , and the wet sand appeared so cool
and soft that he sat down in it.
The boy's mother happened to be
brushing her hair at that moment , and ,
glancing out of the window , observed
him cooling himself. She led him
around to the woodshed by the ear , and
found she would have to remove his
clothes before she could take him into
the house.
"It seems as if Providence had de
signed it , " she mused as she glanced
at the half naked boy and the hair
brush , so she proceeded to bring the
two together in vigorous style. Then
she took him in , put a clean pair of
trousers on him , and made him sit on
a chair. He did not cry , but sat scowl
ing defiantly.
"Now , look here , Frankie , " said his
mother , "I don't want you to sit there
and sulk. I don't like to punish you ,
but I had to do it"
" 'Taint that , " he replied promptly.
"I was just wondering if women that
lick their little boys with hair brushes

The Richest Prince.
The richest prince is not always he
that reigns over the most extensive and
populous empire , with the largest and
most prosperous cities , and the best-
filled treasure-house.
Back in the middle ages there reigned
a prince , called Eberhard the Good , who
was a grand old man , just , wise and
true , and his little principality was the
envied corner of Europe. For though
he was only a grand duke , he ruled so
justly and well that his subjects were
happy and they all loved him as a
father.
There was a feast one day at the city
of Worms , and all the German princes
were drinking wine at the banquet
table , when a dispute arose as to which
of them was the richest and most pros
perous. Prince Ernest of Saxony
boasted of broad domains , brimming
with gold and silver mines , and his
great palace filled with golden treas
ure. "I am richer than he , " said the
Elector Frederick of the Rhine. "From
my grand castle'at Heidelberg I can
look over leagues and leagues of hill-

sides covered with vineyards and val
leys rich with golden grain fields. "
j King Louis of Bavaria claimed the palm
of sovereignty , "because , " he said ,
i "prosperous cities and rich old clois
ters , filled with works of art , are great
er treasures than gold or silver mines ,
vineyards or ripened grain fields. "
Then they all looked at the old lord of
Wurtemburg , whose hair and beard
were white as the snow on Alpine
peaks , and whose blue eyes were shin
ing with a smile. "I have little to boast
of , " he. said , meekly. "There are but
few cities In Wurtemburg , and no sil
ver mines , no famous vineyards , and
no great store of treasure and precious
stones. But I own one rare jewel I
can wander anywhere in my domains
without fear and lay my old head in
peaceful slumber in the cot of my hum
blest subject. " "It is enough , " they
cried in chorus ; "wo yield the palm to
thee , for there are no richer treasures
than a people's love and loyalty. " Duke
Eberhard was one of the great heroes
of the feudal times. His little country
of Wurtemburg was one of the most
prosperous in Europe , and the proud
est kings counted him their equal.
When he was laid in his grave the
Emperor Maximilian of Germany de
clared :
"Here lies a prince who has left no
equal in the German empire in prince
ly virtues. "
Nor has time been able to blot out
his fair naine , and though half a thou
sand years have passed away , divid
ing the living from the dead , 'it is al
ways pleasant and refreshing when
we look back upon those times to find
the name of him they called the Rich
est Prince.
Night Air.
In summer , when the rays of the sun
fall almost vertically upon the earth's
surface , the gradual fall in the tem
perature of night comes as a welcome
relief from the heat of the day.
During the rest of the year the sun's
rays strike the earth more obliquely ,
and are sufficient to warm only a thin
crust at the surface , which loses its
heat rapidly after the sun has set and
the temperature of the air falls abrupt
ly. Under these conditions night air
may become a source of danger. The
sudden change in temperature calls for
extra protection for the body , and one
should never think of setting out on
even a short journey without extra
wraps. Except in severe weather it
is not necessary to care so much for
the extremities , as the circulation of
the blood is maintained in these parts
by their constant motion. But the
chest , as the seat of the bulk of the
blood and the vitality of the body ,
should be protected from chill. The
so-called chest protectors are useful ;
but nothing is simpler than to habit
uate one's self to wearing woolen un
derclothing , suiting the weight to the
season of the year. Wool is a poor
conductor of heat , and when worn
next the skin absorbs the perspiration
and prevents the rapid loss of the body
heat. Moreover , when the temperature
falls suddenly at night , the moisture
present in the air is condensed and
falls to the ground in the form of dew.
The dampness and chill form an addi
tional source of danger , against- which
it is necessary to guard , especially in
the matter of footwear. Thicker shoes
and warm , dry stockings should be
worn. The direct rays of the sun kill
many of the microbes that are the spe
cific causes of disease. Consequent ! }
night is the favorite time for the evil
gnomes of disease to collect their forces
and make the plan of attack against
mankind. Powerless against the
warm , bright rays of the sun , they suc
cumb in the unequal contest ; but at
night , aided by the slight dampness ,
they rise from their hiding places and
are borne away by the constantly shift
ing currents of air upon their errands
of sickness and death. Though this
may seem to be more or less fanciful ,
the study of the origin and life of the
various germs of disease has proved
that the idea embodies a truth , and
that night air is favorable to their
propagation. Youth's Companion.

"Sirrah ! " exclaimed the president of

In spite of his struggles the agent
was bound in the chair and the dyna
mo set in motion.
"Wait ! " he cried. "One moment !
May I know why I am thus sent to
my last home ? "
It was the president of the Match
Trust that answered him.
"You may , " he said. "You are a
good man. When you die your soul
will fly to the happy realms above , and
there you will still find work to do for
our trust. Until you have don your
work there , cur monopoly will not be
complete , for see " and here he
drew forth a paper , evidently a page
from a book of poems "See , here it is
stated that 'matches are made in
heaven ! ' Good bye and good luck !
You are expected to secure control of
all the match factories across the dark
river , no matter what the cost. "
With a glad smile the agent arranged
himself in the chair and died. "If , "
said the president of the Match Trust ,
"if by any chance he should not reach
the realms above , he will at least be
in a position to negotiate for large
quantities of brimstone. " Ellis Par

How to Keep Wrinkles Away.
A simple preventive against the
appearance of wrinkles is this : Satu
rate a soft towel in very hot water ,
wring it and apply it to the face , keep
ing it there for at least twenty min
utes. Then dry the lace very gently.
This must be done just before going to
bed. When traveling , if the skin is
very sensitive , do not bathe the face
except at night and in the morning ,
and then throw a few drops of tincture
of benzoin into the water , so that it
may be made soft and agr.eeablu to the
skin. Ladies' Home Journal.

Power of the Camera.
A Manchester photographer relates
that he recently took a photograph of
a child who was apparently in good
health and had a clear skin. The neg

covered with an eruption. Three days
afterward the child was covered with
spots due to prickly heat The camera
had seen and photographed the erup

is said that another case of a similar
kind is recorded , where a child showed
spots on his portrait , that were invisi

an attack of small-pox. ,

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the H
transient nature of the many phySical - . ' H
ical ills , which vanish before proper efforts H
forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts H
rightly directed. There is comfort in H
the knowledge , that so many forms of M
sickness arc not due to any actual dis- H
case , but simply to a constipated condi- a H
tion of the system , which the pleasant M
family laxative , Syrup of Pigs , promptly - H
ly removes. That is why * it is the only i v |
remedy with millions of families , and is a |
everywhere esteemed so highly by all iVl l
who value good health. Its beneficial # V" l
effects are due to the fact , that it is the r |
one remedy which promotes internal f M
cleanliness without debilitating the wl l
organs on which it acts. It is therefore ( ? |
'
all important , in order to get its beneficial - H
ficial effects , to note when you purchase - / * H
chase , that you have the genuine arti.f * H
cle , which is manufactured by the California - \ " |
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by - ' |
all reputable druggists. M
If in the enjoyment of good health , H
and the system is regular , laxatives or M
other remedies are then not needed. If H
aiilicted with any actual disease , one H
may be commended to the most skillful fl
! physicians , but if in need of a laxative , . S
I one should have the best , and with the ( M
well-informed everywhere. Syrup of ' M
Figs stands highest and is most largely M
used and gives most general satisfaction. - M
