It is dangerous to try to force or push

been killed by this process. Some dairy-:
men keep a limber stick with a knob on

but this method is also a dangerous one.'
A better method Is to draw tho animal's
head, while in n stanchion, up with a
stout rope, and fasten to tho top; then,
having previously melted one-half pint
of lard, place it in a bottle while warm,
pour it down tho cow’s throat; she will;
struggle, and tho more violent the bet-,
ter, as the melted grease will make the

TAU-WATKR FOB CABBAGE WORMS.
According to no less an authority than
Mr. A. 8. Fuller, tnr-water is au effective
kill-cure for tho cabbage worm. It is
stated that Mr. Fuller's early cabbages
were being rapidly destroyed by these
worms, but “one sprinkling with tnr-.
water, applied with a watering-pot, de
stroyed every worm and egg.” Tho tar-
water is prepared by placing a quart or
two of coal-tar in a tub or barrel, and
filling up with water. In about forty-
eight hours tho water will smell strongly
of tar, when it may bo applied to tho
plants with a syringe or common water
ing-pot. If tar-water destroys the eggs^
as aflirmed, and docs not injure tho
growth nor tho quality of the cabbage,,
frequent seasonable applications of it,
thus destroying tho eggs, would seem, to
he all that is required as a complete and
practical cabbage-worm remedy.—Hew

Livnro FROM A CARDEV.
It is no exaggeration to say that a good
garden well cared for will furnish a largo
family with much of the food they eat
and nearly everything except bread,meat
and butter from early in June until frosts
cut off the supplies. If the garden ho
what it should bo it will give far more
than half of the money value of what is
consumed from the farmer’s table. It is
by making most of the advantages that
farmers possess that they can stem the
prevailing tide from country to the city.
It ought to bo stemmed; but what ad
vantage can the city resident see,if when
he visits his farmer friends he finds some
of the family posted off in haste to the
city to get vegetables, often canned,
which a little earo and labor on the
fanner's part would enable him to supply
from his own garden. It is true the farmer
Bays lie cannot spare the time. Why can
not he? Simply because he devotes go
much of his labor to growing crops,
which after selling do not leave him
enough to pay his hired help. That
alone ought to satisfy him that a change
in the programme is needed. Suppose
next year he concludes to grow less to
sell, to hire less help and devote more of
his own time to tho garden. It is, or
ought to bo, the richest spot on Ids
farm, and will pay better than any other
for the labor bestowed upon it.—Boston

FEED DOWN THE MEADOWS.
It has been generally taught by our
best farmers that it was wrong to pasture
meadows in the fall and that the best re
sults could only be attained by allowing
the aftergrowth to go down to protect
tho roots in winter and to enrich the soil
for future production, says 8. E. Rico in
Hew England Homestead. Assenting to
that theory without bringing it to the
test of experiment was tho greatest
mistake that I ever made in farming.
To-day I assert that It is only theory; and
that actual experiment on many farms
will prove it a false theory. Twenty
years ago, while keeping a diary of fifty
to sixty cows, my practice was strictly in
accordance with this theory and no pas
turing of meadows in tho fall was al
lowed. A friend of mine, one of tho
best farmers of my acquaintance, told
me that my practice was wrong and took
me to one of his fields to show an ex
periment, proving that tho removal of
tho second growth was no detriment to
tho succeeding crop. Ho had moved and
removed tho second grow th from a part
of tho field tho fall before, leaving a part
uncut. Tho fall growth was not so heavy
os to smother or kill the grass, and if tho
above theory were true, the succeeding
crop should have been much tho best on
the uncut portion of tho field. Exactly
the opposite of this was true, and when I
saw the field just before haying tho
boundary between the two parts was plain
enough to attract the attention of anyone
passing by. Tho part from which tho
fall growth had been removed I judged
to be twenty-flvo per cent, better than
the other.
ESSENTIALS IN ORAFE OROWINO.
Mildew and rot are tho great obstacles
in thowoy of profitable grape culture in
this country, and while a knowledge of
the remedies and preventives that have
in many cases saved valuable crops is
important to any one who would engage
in grape-growing, it is oven more Im
portant that the climatic conditions for
success sljpuld also be understood. The
mildew which attacks the under surface
is encouraged by dull, cloudy weather,
with occasional shpwere, or when heavy
dews are deposited where tho moisture
caqnot bo readily evaporated. Tho best
grape climate or location appears to be
where dews ar^.light or altogether ab
sent. Instances Sqv given where grapes
on a trellis under cover have escaped
mildew and rot, while those near by, but
without protection, have suffered. I’er-
sons who train vines up the side of a
house under tho caves of a projecting
roof, find the most perfect fruit at the
highest point, where it is least exposed
to rain and dew.
The favorable locations for grape cul
ture will usually be found cither sur
rounded by largo b< lies of water that
modify the climatic coaditions of their
reaching two or three hundred feet above
the level of the adjacent valleys, and
where localities are found ranging from
200 to 1000 feet above the general sur
face of the country, there is greater or
less iitamunity from spring frosts. Fur
thermore, tiie mountains arc less subject
to heavy dews than tho lower grounds,
and for this reason better adapted to the
growth of tho vines.
For any extensive culture of tho grape
the importance of selecting a location
favored by nature canuot be overesti
mated. Where mildew and rot prevail
successful grape culture cannot be attained
without constant and expensive vigilance
jn the application of preventives, whicl)
even under good management do not
always fully protect.—Hew York World.

How Soup is Got From the Turtle.
“I was surprised to learn tho other
day," said Charlie Schwoickardt, “that
very few persons not engaged in.. tho
restaurant business know how a turtle is
killed and prepared for tho soup. Please
enlighten mankind by tolling them that a
turtle is killed by cuttibg its head off.
You know that at the least sign of
danger tho turtle will draw his head into
his shell, and then you have to resort
either to strategy or brutality to mako
him put out his head again. This Object
may be accomplished by hanging the
turtle up iiy tho tail. This will cause his
head to drop down and then a sharp
knife will do the rest of the work. Some
people have an idea that tho turtle ns
soou as ho is killed is thrown right into
tho pot and boiled into soup. When
the turtle is dead the breastplate is sawed
in two and an opening to insert tho
scouring knife is made. Then tho ex
pert deftly curves tho knifo in such a
manner us to remove tho liockpluto with
out taking a particle of moat with it.
Tho entrails aro secured and then tho
rear body of tho turtle is put in tho pot
and tho vegetables and other accessories
added with hot water. Then let it boil
and you will soon have good turtle
soup.”—St. Ijouis Bepublic.

The Buenos Ayres Standard notices
what it calls an extraordinary veterinary
operation which it says is [>crhii|>s one of
tiie most, if not tho most, successful
veterinary operation of modern surgery,
on an imported bull, the property of tho
trustees of the late Signor Corti, which
was purchased last year for the sum of
$5(MH) in gold. Tho statement is as
follows: “For some timo past a largo
growth lias been forming on the throat
of this animal, and yesterday Mr. Mit
chell decided to remove the obstruction
which endangered the hull’s life, and
most successfully removed a tumor, of
twenty-four ounces weight, sections of
which he has forwarded to a specialist
for microscopical examination. This is,
perhaps, the only case on record of a hull
being chloroformed, it taking as much
as teu ounces chloroform and six ounces
of ether before ho was under the influ
ence. ’

REV. DR. TALMAGK
THE BROOKLYN DIVINE’S SUN
DAY SERMON.
Dr. Tnlinago has begun a seriesof sermons
on his recent trip to tho Holy Laud. Tho
following is tho first sermon ot tho series:
Text: "The half was not told me.”—I
Kings M. r 7.
This is the first sermon in n course of 8ab-
Doth nmrmng sermons on “My Recent Jour
ney Through the Holy Lund and Neighbor
ing Countries: What I Saw and What l
Learned.” Out of the sixty-four millions of
our present American imputation and tho
millions of our past only about live thousand
have ever visited tho Holy Land. Of all
those who cross to Europe less than live per
cent, ever get as far as Rome, and less than
two percent, ever get td Athens, and less
than a quarter of one per cent, ever get to
1 albstine. Of tho less than a quarter of one
per 'cent; who do go to the Holy Laud some
see nothing but the noxious inserts and tho
filth of the Oriental cities, and come back
wishing ther had never gone. Of those who
see much of interest anti come home only a
small portion can tell what they have seen
the tongue uliable to report the eye.
The rarity of a successful, intelligent and
happy Journev through tho Holy Land is
very marked. Rut the time approaches when
a journey to Palestine will bo common.
Thousands will go where now there aro
scores. Two locomotives wore recently sent
up from Joppa to Jerusalem, and railroads
are about to begin in Palestine, ami the day
will come when the cry will be, “All out for
Jerusalem!” “Twenty minutes for break
fast at Tiberias!” “Change ears for Tyro!”
“Grand Trunk Junction for Ninevah!’* “All
out for Damascus!” Meanwhile the wet locks
of the Atlantic Ocean and Adriatic and Medi
terranean Seas are beine shorn,and not only
is the voyage shortened, but after a while,
without crossing the ocean, you or your chil
dren will visit the Holy Land. A company
of capitalists have gone up to Behring
Straite, whore the American and Asiatic
continents come within thirty-six miles of
meeting.
These capitalists or others will build a
bridge across these straits, for midway are
three islands called “The Diomedes/and
the water is not deep and is never disturbed
with icebergs. Trains of cars will run from
America across that bridge and on down
through Siberia, bringing under more im
mediate observation the Russian outfai
against exiles and consequently abolishing
thorn; and there aro persons here to-day,
who, without one qualm of sea-sickness, will
visit that wonderful land where the Cnrist-
like, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic, Solo
monic and Herodic histories overlap each
other with such power that by the time I
took my feet out of the stirrups at tho closo
of the journey I felt so*wrung out with emo
tion that it seemed nothing else could ever
absorb my feelings again.
The chief hindrance for going to Palestine
with many is the dreadful sea, and though I
have crossed it ten times it is more dreadful
every time, and 1 fully symptitJlizo with what
was said one night when Mr. Beecher and I
went over to speak in New York at the an
niversary of the Seamen’s Friend Society,
and tho clergyman making the opening
K ayer quoted from Bfc. John, “There shall
no more sea,” and Mr. Beecher, seated be
side me. in memory of a recent ocean voyage
said, “Amen; lam glad of that.” By tho
partial abolition of the Atlantic Ocean and
the putting down of rail tracks across every
country in all the world, the most sacred
land on earth will come under the observa
tion of so many people who will bo ready to
tell of what they saw th:it> infidelity will he
pronounced only another form of insanity,
for no honest man can visit the Holy Laud
and remain an infidel.
This Bible from which T preach has almost
fallen apart, for 1 read from it the most of
the events in it recorded on the very places
where they occurred. Ami some of the
leaves got wet as the waves dashed over our
boat on Lake Galilee, and the book was
jostled in the saddle bags for many weeks,
but it is a new book to me, newer than any
book that yesterday came out of any of our
( peat printing houses. All my life I had
icard of Palestine, and I had read about it,
and talked about it, and preached about it,
and sung'about it, and dreamed about it,
and prayed about it, until my anticipations
were piled up into something like Himalayan
proportions, and yet I have to cry out, as
did the Queen of Sheba when she first visited
the Holy Laud, “The lialli was not told
in order to make the more accurate and
vivid a book I have been writing, a life of
Christ, entitled “From Manger to Throne,”!
left home lost (Ictober, and on the last night
of November wo were walking the decks of
the Senegal, a Mediterranean steamer. It
was a ship of immense proportions. There
were but few passengers, for it is generally
rough at that time of year, and pleasurists
are not apt to bo voyagers there and then.
The stars were all out that night. Those ar
mies of light seemed to have had their shields
newly burnished. We walked the polished
deck. Not much was said, for in all our
hearts was the dominant word “to-morrow.”
Somehow the Acropolis, which a few days
before had thrilled us at Athens, now in our
minds lessened in tho height of its columns
and the glory of its temples. And the Egyp
tian pyramids in our memory lessened their
wonders of obsolete masonry, and the Colis
eum of Rome was not so vast a ruin as it a
few weeks before had seemed to be.
And all that we had seen and heard
dwindled In importance, for to-morrow, to
morrow we shall see the Holy Land. “Cap
tain, what time will we come in sight of
Palestine!” “Well.” ho said, “if the wind
ami sea remain as they are,about daybreak.”
Never was I so impatient for a night to
pass. I could not soo much uso for that
night, anyhow. I pulled aside the curtain
from tho porthole of my stateroom, so that
the first hint of dawn would waken me. But
it was a useless precaution. Sloop was
among the impossibilities. Who could be so
st upid as to slumber when any moment there
might start out within sight of the ship the
land where the most stupendous scenes of all
time and all eternity were enacted—land of
ruin and redemption, laud where was fought
tho battle that made our heaven possible,
land of Godfrey and yaladin, of Joshua and
Jesus!
Will tho night over bo gone? Yes, it is
prowing lighter, and along tne horizon there
is something like a bank of clouds, and as a
watchman paces the dpek I say to him,
“What is that out yonder?” “That is land,
sir,” said tho sailor. “The land!” I cried, and
soon all our friends were arroused from sleep
and the shore began more clearly to reveal
itself. With roar and rattle ana bang tho
anchor dropped in the roadstead a half mile
from land, for though Joppa is the only har
bor of Palestine it is the worst harbor on all
the coasts. Sometimes for weeks no ships
stop there. Between rocks about seventy-
five feet apart a small boat must take the
passengers ashore. The depths are strewn
with the skeletons of those who have at
tempted to land or attempted to embark.
Twenty-seven pilgrims perished with one
crash of a boat against the rocks. Whole
fleets of Crusaders, of Romans, of Syrians,
«»f EovnttanH have rroue tosoliuters there. A
writer eight hundred years ago said he stood
on the beach in a storm at Joppa, and out of
thirty ships all but seven went to pieces on
the rocks, and a thousand of tho dead were
washed ashore.
Grange that with a few blasts of powder
like that which shattered our American Hell
Gate those rocks have not been uprooted and
the way cleared, so that groat ships, instead
of anchoring far out from land, might sweep
up to tho wharf for passengers and freight.
But you mustrememober that land is under
the Turk, and what the Turk touches he
withers. Mohammedanism is against easy
wharves, against steamers, against rail
trains, against printing presses, against civ
ilization. Darkness is always opposed to
light. The owl hates the morn “Leave

o’clock, our feet touch Palestine. Forever

“What is that man doing?” I said to the
dragoman in tho streets of Joppd. “Oh, he
is carrying his bed.’* Multitudes of people
sleep out of doors, and that is the way so
many in those lands become blind. It is from
the dew of the night falling oil the eyelids. As
a result of this, in Egypt every twentieth
person is totally blind. Ill Oriental lands
the lied is made of a thin, small mattress, a
blanket and a pillow, and when tho man rises
in the morning he just ties up the three into
a bundle and shoulders it and takes it away.
It w’os to that the Saviour referred when He
said to the sick man: “Take up thy bed and
walk.” An American couch or an English
couch would require at least four men to
carry it, but one Oriental can easily manage
his slumber equipment.
But I iuhale some of the odors of the large
tanneries around Joppa. It is there to this
day, a prosperous business, this tanning of
hides. And that reminds mo of Biinon, the
tanner, who lived at Joppa and \fras tho host
of Peter, the apostle. J suppose the olfac
tories of Peter were as easily Insulted by the
odors of a tannery as others. But the Bible
says, “He lodged with one Simon, the tan
ner.” People who go out to do reformatory
and missionary and Christian work must not
be too sensitive. Simon no doubt brought
to his homestead every night the malodors
of tho calfskins an 1 ox hides in his tannery,
but Peter lodged in that home, not only be
cause he may not have been invited to the
houses of merchant princes, surrounded by
redolent gardens, but to teach all men and
women engaged in trying to make the world
better that they nui-L not be squeamish and
fastidious and fluieul aud over particular in
doing the work of t!v* world.
The church of Go 1 is dying of fastidious
ness. We cry over the sufferings of the
world in hundred doliar pocket handker
chiefs, and then put a cent In the poor box.
There aro many willing to do Christian work
among the Cleanly, and tho refined, and the
elegant, ami the educated, but excuse them
from taking a loaf of bread down a dirty al
ley, excuse them from teaching a mission
school among the uncombed and the unwash
ed, excuse them from touching the baud of
one whose finger nails are in mourning for
departed soap. Such religious precisionists
can toil in atmospheres laden with honey
suckle and rosemary, but not in air floating
up from the malodorous vats. No f no, no!
Excuse them from living with one Simon,the
tanner.
During the last war there were in Virginia
some sixty or seventy wounded soldiers in a
barn, on the second floor, so near th * roof
♦ hat the heat of the August huh was almost
insupportable. The men were dying from
sheer exhaustion and suffocation. A distin
guished member of the Christian commission
said to the nurse who stood there, “Wash the
‘■"tiva mm) foef of fht“-»end it will revive
them.” ’‘No,” said the nurse, “Ididn’tcome
into the army to wash anybody’s feet.”
“Well,” said the distinguished member of the
commission, “bring me water and a towel;!
will be very glad to wash their feet .” One
was tho spirit of the devil, the other the
spirit of Christ.
But reference to Peter reminds me that we
must go to tho housetop in Joppa where he
was taught the democracy of religion. That
was about the queerest t iing that ever hap
pened. On our way up to that housetop we
passed an old well where the great stones
were worn deep with the ropes of the buck
ets, and it must be a well many centuries
old, and I think Peter drank out. of it. Four
or five goat or calfskins filled with water lay
about the yard. Wo s >on got up the steps
aud on the housetop. It was in such a placy
in Joppa that Peter one noon while ho was
waiting for dinner had a hungry fit and
fainted away, and had a vision or dream or
trance. I said to my family and friends on
that housetop. “Listen while I read about
wluit happened bore.” And opening the
Bible we had the whole story.
It seems that Peter on tho housetop
dreamed that a groat blanket was let down
out of heaven, and in it were sheep and goats
and cattle ami mules aud pigeons and buz-
,^-zards and snakes and all manner of creatures
that Ily the air, or walk the field, or crawl
the earth, and in tho dream a voice told him
as he was hungry to oat, and ho said, “I can
not cat things unclean.” Thr(>o times he
1 reamed it. There was then heard a knock
ing at tho gate of the house on the top of
which Peter lay in a trance, and three men
Risked, “Is Peter here?” Peter, while yet
wondering what his dream meant, descends
ike stairs ami meets those strangers at the
gate, and they toll him that a good man by
the name of Cornelius, in the city of Caesarea,
has also had a dream aud has sent them for
Peter and to ask him to come ami preach.
At that cull Peter left Joppa for Ciesarea.
Tho dream he hail just hail prepared him to
preach, for Peter learned by it to reject no
people as unclean, and whereas he previously
thought he must preach only to the Jews,
now he goes to preach to the Gentiles, who
Wore considered unclean.
i Notice how the two dreams meet—Peter’s
•earn on tho housetop, Cornelius dream at
Ciesarea. So I have noticed providences
meet, distant events meet, dreams meet.
Every dream is hunting up some other dream,
and every event is searching for some other
event. In the Fifteenth century (1492) the
great event was the discovery of America.
The art of printing, born in the same century,
goes out to meet that discovery and make
tho Now W.orld an intelligent world. The
Declaration of Independence, announcing
equal rights, meets Robert Burns’s
A man's a man for a’ that.
Tho United States was getting too large to
be managed by one Government, and tele
graphy was invented to compress within an

Civil War were to be fitted out with clothing,
and the sewing machine invention came out

Turkish Government ought to be blotted
from the face of the earth, aud it will be.
Of many of the inhabit ants of Palestine I
asked the question, “Has the Sultan of Tur
key over been here?” Answer, “No.” “Why
don’t he come, when it belongs to his do
minion?” And, after tho man interrogated
looked this way and that, so as to know ho
would not be roporto l, tin* answer would in
variably be, “He dare not come.” I believed
it. If the Sultan of Turkey attempted to
visit Jerusalem he would never get back
•gain. All Palestine hates him. I saw him go
to tho mosque for prayers in his own city of
Constantinople, and saw seven thousand
armed men riding out to protect Him. Expen

As we descended tho narrow steps at tho
side of the ship we heard the clamor and
ouarrel and swearing of fifteen or sixteen
different races of men of all features, and
all colors and all vernaculars* all different in
appearance, but all alike in desire to get our
bftgKftK© and ourselves at exorbitant prices.

were luxuriant, but of comparatively little
value, for they could not be managed; and
so, at just the right time, Hargreaves came
with his invent ion of tho spinning jenny,
then Arkwright with bis roller, and Whitney
with ins cotton gin. Tho world, after pot
tering along with tallow candles and whale
oil, was crying for lietter light and more of
it, aud the hill of Pennsylvania poured out
rivers of oil, and kerosene illumined tho na
tions. But the oil wells began to fail, and
then the electric light comes forth to turn
night into day.
Ho all events are woven together, and tho
world is magnificently governed, because it
is divinely governed. We criticise things
and think the divine machinery is going
wrong, and nut our fingers amid the wneels

blanding here in Joppa i remember that
trhefe we this morning disembarked the
prophet J on ah embrtrkeoT For the first time
(n my life I fiilly Understood that story.
God told Jonah to go to Nineveh, but the
prophet declined that call arid came here to
Joppa. Itfas fot* weeks,' while iff the.Holy
Laud, consulting with tourist compdnfes as
to how I could take Nineveh in my journey
They did not encourage the undertaking. It
fi a most tedious ride to Nineveh amid a
desert. No* I see an additional reason why
Jonah did not want to gc to Ntffevoh. Ho
not only revolted because it whs a long way
and tough, and bandit infested, so he came
here to Joppa and took ship. But, alas, for
the disastrous voyage! He paid his full fare
for the whole voyage, but the ship company
did not fill their part of the contract. To
this day they have not paid back that pas
sage money. Why people should doubt the
story of Jonah and the whale is more of a
mystery than the Bible event itself. I do
Hot need tho fact that Pliny, the historian,
records that the skeleton of a whale forty
feet long; and With a hide a foot and a half
thick, was brought front Jopnato Rome.
The everit recorded in the nook of Jonah
has occurred a thousand tinies. The Lord
always has d whale outside the lirtbor for a
man who starts In the wrorig dir 'ction. Rec
reant Jonah! 1 do not wonder that even the'
whale was sick of him. This prophet was
put in the Bible not as an example, out as a
warning, because tho world not only needs
lighthouses, but buoys, to show where tho
rocks are. The Bible story of him ends by
showing tho prophet in a fit of the sulks. He
was mad because Nineveh was not destroyed,
and then he went out to pout, and sat under
a big loaf, using it for shade from tho tropi
cal sun, and when a worm disturbed that
leaf, and it withered, and tho sun smote
Jonah, he flew into a groat rage, and said:
“It is better for me to die than to live.” A
prophet in a rago because he hud lost his
umbrella! Beware of petulance!
But. standing here on the housetop at Jop
pa, I look off upon the sands near the beach,
and I almost expected to find them crim
soned and incarnadined. But no; the rains
long ago washed away the last sign of the
Napoleonic massacre. Napoleon was march
ing on through tho coasts. He had hero at
Joppa four thousand Albanians, who had
been surrendered as prisoners of war, and
under a promise of protection. What shall
he do with them? It will be impossible for
him to take them along, and he cannot afford
to leave soldiers enough to guard them from
escape. It will not be difficult for the man
who broke the heart of lovely Josephine, and
who, when asked if the great losses of life in
hfe battles were not too dear a price to pay
for victories «*t»r-»cro"ed Hfa oV»'Mi •lor®
mirtntUlly and said, “You must break the
eggs if you want to mako an omelet”—I say
it will not bo difficult for him to decide.
The prisoners of war by his order are taken
out on the sands and put to death—one thou
sand of them, two thousand of them, three
thousand of thorn, four thousand of them,
massacred. And the blood pours down into
the sea, the red of the one mingling with the
blue of the other, and making an awful
maroon which neither (rod nor nation can
< ver forget. Ye who aro fond of vivid con
trasts put the two scenes of Joppa side by
side, Dorcas with her nee lie, and the im
mortal butcher with his knife.
But standing on this Joppa house top I
look off on the Mediterranean, and what is
that strange sight 1 see? Tho waters are
black, seemingly for miles. There seems to
be a great multitude of logs fastened to
gether. Oh, yes, it is a great raft of timbers.
They are cedars of Lebanon, which King
Hiram is furnishing King Holomon in ex
change for 20,000 measures of wheat, 20,000
baths of oil and 20,000 baths of wine. These
cedars have been cut down and trimm-d in
the mountains of Lebanon by the 70,000 ax-
men engaged there, and with great withes
and iron bolts are fastened together,and they
are floating down to Joppa to betaken across
the land for Solomon’s temple, now building
at Jerusalem, for wo have lost our hold of
the Nineteenth century and are clear back in
the ages.
The rafts of cedar nro guided into what is
called the Moon Pool, an old harbor south
of Joppa, now filled with sand and useless.
With long pikes the timber is pushed this
way and tiiat in the water, then with divers
and manv a loud, long ‘To, heave!” as the
carters get their shoulder under the great
weight, the timber is fastened to the wag
ons ami the lowing oxen are yoked to tho
load, and the procession of teams moves on
with crack of whip and drawled out. words
which, translated, I suppose would corre
spond with the “Whoa, haw, gee!” of mod
ern teamsters, toward Jerusalem, which is
thirty miles away over mountainous dis
tances which for hundreds of years defied
all engineering. And those rough cedars
shall become carved pillars ami beautiful
altars, and rounded bannisters, and trac-
eried panels, and sublime ceiling, and ex
quisite harps and klugly chariots.
As the wagon train moves out from Joppa
over the plain of Hharon toward Jerusalem I
say to myself, what vast numbers of people
helped build that temple of Holomon, and
what vast numbers of people are now en
gaged in building the wider, higher, grander
temple of righteousness rising in tho earth.
Our Christian ancestry toiled at it, amid
sweat and tears, and hundreds of the genera
tions of the good, and tho long train of
Christian workers still moves on; and as in
the construction of Solomon’s temple somo
hewed with the ax in the far away Lebanon,
and some drove a wedge, and some twisted
a withe, and some trod the wet and slippery
rafts on the sea, and some yoked
the ox, and some pulled at tho load,
and some shoved the plane, and some
fitted the joints, and some heaved
up the rafters, but all helped build the tem
ple, though some of these never saw it, so
now let us all put our hands, and our shoul
ders, and our hearts to tho work of building
the temple of righteousness, which is to fill
the earth; and one will bind a wound, and
another will wipe away a tear, and another
will teach a class, and another will speak tho
encouraging word, and all of us will lie
ready to pull and litt, ami in some way help
on tho work until the millenial mom shall
gild the pinnacle of that finished temple, and
at its shining gates the world shall put down
its last burden, and in its layers wash off its
Inst strain, and at its altars the lost wanderer
shall kneel. At the deification of that tem
ple all tho armies of earth and heaven will
“shoulder arms” and “pre;ent arms'’ and
“ground arms,” for “behold! a greater than
Solomon is here.”
But my first day in the Holy Land is
ended. The sun is already closing his eye for
the night. I stand on the balcony of a hotel
which was brought to Joppa in pieces from
the State of Maine by some fanatics who
came here expecting to see Christ reapfiear
in Palestine. My room here was
once occupied by that Christian
hero of the centuries—English, Chinese,
Egyptian, world-wide General Gordon, a
man mighty for God ns well ns for the
world’s pacification. Although the first of
December and winter, the air is full of fra
grance from gardens all a-bloom, and under
my window are acacia aud tamarisk and
mulberry and century plants and orange
groves and oleander. From the drowsiness
of the air and the fatigues of the day I feel
sleepy. Good night! To-morrow morning
we start for Jerusalem.

Hoary Damages for Railroad Injuries,
The heaviest damages that were ever
paid for un injury to a single man wus
14(5,000, paid by the Grand Trunk,
After trying the ruse three times. Tho
jury increased tho damages at each trial.
Among the most costly accidents ever
known in the country were those on the
New York Central at N«w Hamburg,
on the Lake Shore at Ashtabula, Ort the
Frtstern at Revere, and on tho West Jer
sey at May’s Landing. Tho last was
proportionately th'e rheapnst settled, as
the company paid only $81,000 for
about nineteen deaths and injuries to
about twice as many.
The collision at Revere cost the East
ern over $400,000 for less than twenty
deaths, among them two distinguished
clergymen; tho Ashtabula cost over a
quarter of a million, and t ne at WollaS.
ton, on tho Old Colony, cost about the
same. Tho Eastern settled one case,
growing out of tho Revere accident, for
$25,000, Without taking it into court.
Tho Clmtsworth accident, on the Toledo,
Peoria & Western, wus tho most costly
to human life, the deaths being 141, hut
the claims were settled for about a quar
ter of a million, ns tho company could
not pay any more. If the case had been

in Italy. Tho Count of Assata, whose
buildings are fitted tip with electric
light, has connected his dairy plant with
an electric motor of twelve horse-power.
This machine drives a Danish separator
and a Dutch churn of considerable size,
churning being conducted at the rate of
120 to 160 revolutions per minute, the
butter being brought in from thirty to
thirty-five minutes, in fine grains, which,
it is now recognized, enable the maker
