The Oiling of Machinery. 1 An investigator who likos to get 1 down to line points has been figuring 1 out tlie dllicrr u< o in the oiling ol 1 watches and locomotives. A good watch iuoils oiling once in a year to a year and n half. A locomotive oiled in the 1 name way should run sixty miles an 1 hour day and night for <548 days, or nearly forty times tho circumference * of the earth. Ho says thnt as loconio- * tivo:- have to he oiled every day the watt lint a Iter must have brought his tirt to a nun it higher degree of perfee- ^ tiott than the ntan who has built the ' lot emotive. As a matter of fact the eases are not parallel. The watch is 1 most tarefitlly protected from (lie air. lust and foreign substances. The locomotive tints through dirt, dust, cln- \ lets and debris of till sorts, much of which, as a matter of course, works into the machinery.

I. I All agree that she is ' - I $85?^ win8ome an(i i^at young Frauk Van I Anden made no mistake when he fell in love with her, but that is nbout the only point upon which the busy tongues of rumor can agree in the pretty littlo village of country homes. If one should wait in the village long enough, he could hear almost any romantio story he chose, for every yarn in that quiet Bummer resort unravels with marvelous rapidity. But the fact remains that the many friends of the Van Andens received a surprise when they heard that Frank Vau Andcn was married, and that without any announcement or cards the bride had been received into the homo and hearts of the family circle. William M. Van Anden is VicePresident of the Eaglo Warehouse and Storage Company in Brooklyn. He has a liouso on Pierrepont street, on tho Heights, in Brooklyn. In a place where ground is very valuable ho has a large lawn surrounding tho house and a summer house in the garden on one side. His four-story brownstono front is one of the most conspicuous in tno block. Ho has retired from active business, but 1ms an oGico in tho Franklin Building, at Montague and Clinton streets, Brooklyn, for bo still occasionally puts through some big deals in real estate. The summer home of tho Van Aniens is at Islip. It is on Ocean avenue, six doors from the corner of tho main street. Tho grounds aro large, the lawns beautiful aud the trees back nf the houso and surrounding tho stable are as douse as those of a forest. Mrs. Van Andcn and her two daughters, Misses Estello and Louise, have always been leaders iu the society of [slip, and in Brooklyn tho iamily moves in the best circles. They come from the original Duteli Van Andens. The family took a pleasure trip to Europe in June of last year. Frank STan Anden, a Cornell student, ono of ho handsomest boys whoever entered ho freshman class and a clever nthete, wont with them. In Cornell he vas a member of the Psi Upsilon fraerniiy. "While ho was in Berlin Frank told his father that he would ike very much to remain in Germany i year, so that he could acquiro a ipoaking knowledge of German. He lad made up his mind to go into busiless and thought that a knowledge of lerman would enable him to get a letter place on his return. The famly consented, and went on with the 'emainder of the trip in Europo witli>ut the son. They trnvelod through Russia, and as they were about to reurn to America they went through rtai-i;? a., i lau uuy nuuiiior cuance o conifl homo with thorn. But Frank old thorn that ho had become ac(uaintcd with a young physician, who van an intellectual companion, and hat ho would therefore stay his year >ut. Betters were received regularly by dr. Van Andcn from the young stulent. They came promptly in response o generous remittances, for young Tan Anden told his father that tho ory best way to speak German fluent y was to associate with peoplo who mow how to speak it. Ho also said hat ho was get ling a general knowledge if human nature which would prove nvaluable when he returned to Amerca. Ho returned to America about two Qonths ago. The family were then iving at their town house in Pierropont troot. Frank astonished his sisters rith the fluency of his German. They md been to Vassar and had learned lermau from books. They had to bink hard when they spoke in German, but Frank could answer them ight off the reel so fast that it made is sisters dizzy trying to understand iim. "It is easy to speak German,'' ho aid to his father, "but to write it is nother thing. That requires a tcaehr. Now, father, if I could only write lorman I could get a much moro reponeiblo placo in the oflico of the tealty Company than I now hold. Ir. William Zeigler has promised that rlien I can write German lie will make le head of the German deportment, think it would be a good idea for j'ou o advertise for a teacher who could astrnct me in German composition." Mr. W. II. Van Anden, the father, aid to the Evening Hun reporter that o sooner did he hear the suggestion lian he acted upon it. He ordered an dvertisement put in the paper, askig for a competent instructor in | lirmnu composition, He had is- j Eected to receive a reply from * men, at before be got home that night his daughters had engaged a young woman who presented herself in response to the advertisement, 'the young German woman had suggested that, in addition to teaohing the young man of the house to write, she would be pleased to help the young women in their German conversation. That struck the girls as being a good plau, and the young teaoher made herself so agreeable that she was engaged on the spot. When Frank Van Anden came home that night, and was informed that a young woman was engaged as his writing instructor, he pretended to bo very much upset. He said ho had hoped that a man would Answer tho advertisement, so that he could act with more freedom. But his sisters said that the young German woman was very sweet, and they begged him not to ask his father to dismiss her. After that tho young woman, who I said that she was Miss Ida Kossbcrcr. recently from Berlin, went to the homo of the Van Andeus about three nights every week to givo the son writing lessons in German. Chivalry required that somo one should take her homo after the lessons, but Mr. Van Auden senior always pleaded that he was too tired, and urged Frank to go home with the teacher. Frank always returned promptly from his mission and the lessons went on. Miss Kessberg seemed, to bo a little older than her pupil, and the suspicions of the family were not aroused. While the summer home was being put in readiness Frank Van Anden decided to discontinue his writing lessons. Besides ho had made such rapid progress that there was little uso of continuing them. Ho took up his residence at the old Dominee House at Bayshore, the next station to Islip on the Long Island Bailroad coming toward this city. The family moved into the Islip house about a month ago. They had not been there Lorg when Mr. Van Anden was passing through the village and met an old friend. She said to him, "Allow me to congratulate you, Mr. Van Anden." "You are very kind," Mr. Van Anden says ho replied, thinking that she was congratulating him upon having recently recovered his country home by means of a foreclosure. Ho lmd sold it two years ago, but tho purchaser had not paid up and Mr. Van Anden hnd been able to get his old country place back only by foreclosing the mortgage. He had already received tho congratulations of half tho villagers at being once more back in Islip. 'l' rauk certainly showed good taste," the friend went on to say. "She is a nice girl." "Who's a nice girl?" said Mr. Van Audon, taking a renewed interest in tlio conversation. "Why, your new daughter-in-law." "I have no new daughter-in-law." "Then Frank must be joking, for yesterday he introduced me to a cnarmiug young German girl who, lie said, was his wife. Ho told me not to tell papa, and, of course, that is exactly why I drove over to tell you." Mr. Vnu Andon lost no time in getting over to Bayshore. Tliero he met his son. Explanations were iu order. It turned out that Frank Van Aiulen had married Miss Kessberg in Berliu. She was t\ ^ears older than he was, and he had n*. ? asked his parents' consent. Ho was not yet in receipt of a salary of any kind, but he did not intend to lose such an excellent opportunity. There were girls in America, but thero were ncne who talked such sweet German or who played the piano or sang exactly to suit him. When his father wrote for him to come home and 1111 a place in a real estate concern which had been secured for him he had jumped at the chance. He felt that if the family could only once get acquainted with his wife they would learn to love her. But it took money to keep up a home in Brooklyn. By getting his wife a place as his German instructor he accomplished a double purpose. He had quietly introduced her into the household and at the same time she received good compensation for teaching him and his oioiri n. , "Why didn't you tell mo before?" naked tho father. "Well," answered tho young man, with Americau independence, "I wanted to wait until I was making enough to snap my fingers at the world and separate from home if they didn't liko my choioe." "It isn't quite time for us to separate yet," replied the father. "To tell you tho truth, I was thinking when Miss Kessberg was teaching yoti what an excellent wife she would make for you and how you had quieted down since you came from Germany. Bring her home. Yonr mother and the girls will bo delighted, I know. But I want to tell you right now that I think that was an unkind and very shrewd piece ' of work on your part to rope me into paying for your flat on the pretext that you needed to learn to write German." Mr. and Mrs. Frank Van Anden intend to spend several months with his father and then build a neat home in Brooklyn. The new daughter-in-law has captured the hearts of the entire Van Anden family just as she did tho heart of the young German student. Now York Sun.

TMi'S Mi ROTfeD WASHINGTON DIVINE'S 81/NDAY DISCOURSE. The ChrUtlan Home and Wlial It 8hould lie?A 1'owrrrul Teat of Character? Varloas Meanlngi of Home?Can lie Blade the Brightest riace on Earth. Text: "Oo home to thy friends and toll them how groat things the Lord hath dono for theo," Mark v., 19. There aro a great many people longing for some grand sphere in whloh to servo God. They admire Lather at the Diet of Worms, and only wish that they had some ftjieh great opportunity in wblon to display their Christian proWess. Thev admire Foul making Felix tremble, and they only wir.li that they had sonio suoh grand occasion In whloh to uroaoh righteousness, temperance and judgment to como: all they want is only an opportunity to exhibit their Christian heroism. Now the evangelist comes to us, and he practically save: "I will- show you a place where vou can exhibit all that Is grand, and beautiful, and glorious, in Christian character, and that is the domestic circle." If one is not faithful in an Insignificant sphere he will not be faithful In a resounding sphere. If Fetor will not help tho cripple nt the gate of the temple.be will never ho ablo to preach three thoiAand ,n?l. InUII.. 1. I 1 _? ?>-- ? ? ovuio uiiv vuu niu^uviu in iuu romucusi. If Paul will not take pains to instruct in tho way of salvation the jailer of the Philippian dungeon, he will never make Felix tremble. Ho who is not faithful in a skirmish would not bo faithful in an Armageddon. Tho fact is, we aro all placed in just the position In wliioh we can most grandly serve God; and we ought not to bo chiefly thoughtful about sotno sphere of usefulnes which we may after a while gain, but the all-absorbing question with you and with mo ought to be: "Lord, what wilt Thou have mo now and here to do?" There is one word in my text around which tho most of our thoughts will this morning revolve. That word is "Home." Ask ten different men tho meaning of that word, and they will glvo you ten dlfferont dcilnitlons. To one It means lovo at tho hcarth.it means plenty at the table, industry at tho workstand, intelligence at tho books, dovotion a* the altar. To him it mouns a greeting at tho door and a smile at the chair. Teaco hovering like wings. Joy clapping its hands with laughter. Lifo a tranquil lake. Pillowed on tho ripples sleep the shadows. Ask another man what home is, and ho will toll you it is want, looking out of a cheerless fire-grate, kneading hunger in an empty bread tray. The damp air shivering with curses. No Blblo on tho shelf. Children robbers and murderers in embryo. Every face a picture of ruin. Want In tho background nnd sin staring from the front. No tinbbath wave rolling over that doorsill, Vcstibulo of tho pit. Shadow of infernal walls. Furnaco for forging everlasting chains. Awful wordl It is spelled with curses, it weeps with ruin, it chokes with woe, it sweats with the death agony of despair. The word "Homo" In the ono case means everything bright. Tho word "Home" in the other case means everything terrific. I shall speak to you this iuo.uiiiAot homo as s test of character, home as a refuge, homo as a political safeguard, homo as a school, and homo ns a typo of heaven. And in tho first place I remark, that homo is a powerful test of character. Tho disposition in publio may be in gay cosI 11 ,Y1 A n->, il.i Ir. 1- t- I- JI-l-L." ,u.uv, nuuv iu ^IKUIU II. ID tu UUIIttUllKI. As piny actors may appear in one way on tho Plane, and may appear In another "way behind the scenes, so private character may bo very different from public character. Private character is often public character turned wrong sido out. A man may receive you into his parlor as though ho woro n distillation of sinilos, and yet his heart may be a swamp of nettles. Thero are business men who ttll day long arc mild, and courteous, und- gonial, and good-natured (in commercial life, damming back their irritability, nud their petulance, and . their discontent; but at night-fall tho dam , breaks, and scolding pours forth in floods nnd freshets. The rensou men do not display their bad temper in public Is because they do not , want to bo knocked down. There are men who hldo th ir petulance nud their irritn- ( billty just for the same reason that they do not let their notes go to protest. It does not pay. Or for the same reason that they ( do not want n man in their stock company ' to sell his stock nt less than tho right price, lest it dopreeiato tho value. As nt some- j times tho wind rises, so after a sunshiny day thero may bo a tempestuous night, j Thero are people who In public net the philanthropist, who at home act the Nero j with respect to their slippers and their ' gown. Now, that man who is affable in public j and who is irritable in privato Is making a , fraudulent overlssuo of stock, nnd ho is as , bad as a bank that might have four or Ave hundred thousnnd dollars of bills in circulation with no specie in tho vault. Let us . learn to show piety at home. If we have it , not there, wo have it not anywhero. If wo , havo not genuine grace in the family circle, : all our outward and public plausibility , merely springs from a fear of tno world or from tho slimy, putrid pool of our own selfishness. I tell you the home is a mighty j test of character. What you are at home { you are everywhere, whotner you demonstrate It or not. Again, I remark that home is a refuge. , Life Is the United Btates army on the national road to Moxlco, a long march with . over and Anon a skirmish and a battle. At . oventido wo pitch our tent and 'stack tho arms, we hang up tho war cap and lay our , head on the knapsack, wo sleon until tii? i mqrning bugle calls us to marehing aixl action. How pleasant It is to rehearse the victories, and tho surprises, and the attacks of the day, seated by tho still campflre of tho homo clrclel Thero is the place where we may talk or What we havo done without being charged with self-adulation. There is the place where we may lounge without being thought ungraceful. Thero is the place where we may express affection without being thought silly. There is the place whero wo may forgot our annoyances, and exasperations, andt troubles. Forlorn earth pil5riminohome? Then die. That is better, he grave Is brighter, and grander, and more glorious than this world with no tent for marchings, with no harbor from the storm, with no place of rest from this scene of greed, and gouge, and loss, and Sain. God pity tho man or tho woman who as no home. Further, I remark, that home is a political safeguard. Tho safety of tho State must bo built on the safety of the homo. Why cannot Franco come to a placid reSublic? Ever and anon there is a threat of atlonal capsize. France as a nation has not tho right kind of a Christian home. The Christian hearthstone is the only corner-stono for a ropublic. The virtues cultured in the family circle aro an absolute necessity for tho Stato. If there be not enough moral principle to make the family r adhero, there will not bo enoucrh noltneoi - Srinciplo to make tho Stnto adhere. "No , omo*' means tho Goths and Vandals, r mcnna tho Nomads of Asia, means tho j Numldeans of Africa, changing from place j to place, according as tho pasture happens j to change. Confounded bo all those Babels H of iniquity which would overtowcr and do- f stroy tho home. Tho same storm that up- v sots the ship in which tho family sails will Y sink tho frigate of tho constitution. Jails v and penitentiarlesand nrmies and navicsare j not our best defense. The door of tho homo n is tho best fortress. n Further, I remark, that homo Is a school. t Old ground must be turned up with subsoil plow, and it must be harrowed and reharrowed. and then tho crop will not be as large as that of tho now ground with loss culture. Now, youth nnd childhood are f new ground, and all the influences thrown C over their heart and life will com* up la c * - ? after life luxuriantly, fevery time you have glren a smile of approbation, all thd good cheer of your life will eome up again in the geniality bf your children. . And every ebullition of anger and every unoonttolable display of Indignation will bd fdel to their disposition twenty, or thirty, or forty ' years from now?fuel for a bad Are a quarter of a century fOom this. Oh, make your home the brightest plaoe 1 on earth, If you would charm your chlU 1 dron to the high path of virtue, and recti- ( tude, nnd religion. Do not always turn 1 tho blinds the wrong way. Let tho light ' which puts gold on tho gentian and spots tho pansy pour Into your dwellings. Do not expect the little feet to keep step to a dead march. Do not cover up your walls with such pictures ns West's "Death on a Pale Horse," or Tintoretto's "Massacre of the Innocents." Rather cover them, if yon have pictures, with "The Hawking Party," and "Tho Mill by tho Mountain Stream," and "The Fox Hunt," and "The Chli* drcn Amid Flowers," and "The Harvest I Scene," and "The Saturday Night Market- I lug." Above nil, ray friends, take into your homes Christian principle. Can it be that in any of the comfortable homes of my congregation the voice of prayer Is never lifted? What! No application at night for protection? Whntl No thanksgiving in tbo morn* Ing for care? How. my brother, my sister, will you answer Ood in the Day of Judgment, with reforonoe to your children? It IB a plain question, and therofore I ask it. I In tho tenth chapter of Jeremiah God says lie will pour out His fury upon tho families that call not upon Ills name. O parents, when you aro dead and gone, and tno moss Iscovoringtho inscription of tho tombstone, will your children look back and think of fnther and mother at family prayer? Will they take tho old family Diblo and open it and sco tho mnrk of tears of contrition and tears of consoling promise wept by eyes long before gono out Into darkness? Oh, if you do not inculcato Christian prlnciploin tho hearts of your children, and you do not warn them against evil, and you do not invite them to holiness nnd to God, and they wander oil into dissipation and into infidelity, nnd at last make shlpwrock of their immortal soul, on their death-bed and in their Day of Judgment they will curso you. Boated by the register or the stove, what if on the wall should come out tho history of your children? What a hlstory ?t ho mortal nnd immortal life of your loved ones. Every parent is writing tha history of his child. He in writing it, composing It into u song or turning Llt into a groan. My mind runs hack to one of the best of early homos. Prayer, likoaroof, over it. Ponce, like an atmosphere, in It. Parents,, porsonlllcations of faith in trial And comfort in darkness. The two pillars of that earthly home long ago crumbled to dust. But shall I over forgot that early borne? Yes, when tho flower forgets tho sun thnt warms it. Yes, when tho mariner forgets the star that guided him. Yes, when lovo has gone out of tho heart's altar and momory has emptied his urn Into forgot fulness. Then, the homo of my childhood, I will forget thee! tho family nltar of a father's Importunity and a mother's tenderness, tho voices of affection, tho funerals of our dead father and mother, with interlocked arms like intertwining branches of trees making a perpetual arbor of lovo, nnd ^lence, and kindness?then I will for K'-i iiium?men nnuoniy men. xou know, my brother, that a hundred times you have been kept out of sin by tlio memory of such n scene as 1 linvo been describing. You linvo often bail raging temptations, but you know what has held you with supernatural grasp. I tell you, a man who has had such a good home as that never gets over it, and a mnn who has had a bad early homo never gets over It. Agalu, I remark, that homo is a type of heaven. To bring us to that homo Christ left Ills home. Far up and far back in the history of heaven thero enrae a period when its most Illustrious citizen was about to absent Himself. Ho was not going to sail from beach to beach; wo have often dono that. Ho was not going to put out from one hemisphere to another hemlsBhere; many of us have done that. But to wns to sail from world to world, tho spaces unexplored and tho immensities untravoled. No world had over hailed heaven, nnd so far as wo know heaven had never hailed any other world. I think that tho windows and the balconies were thronged, nnd that tho pearly boach was crowded with those who had come to seo Him sail out the harbor of light into tho ocean beyond. Out, and out, and out, and on, and on, and on, nnd down, and down, and down Ho sped, until one night, with only one to greet Him, ho arrived. His disembarkation, so unpretending, so quiot, that it was not known on earth until the excitement in Lho cloud guve intimation that something grand and glorious had happened! Who comes there? From what port did Ho sail? Why wns this tho plnco of his destination? [ question tho shepherds, I question the camel drivers, I question tho angels. I have found out! Ho was an exile. But tho world has had plenty of exiles?Abraham inoxllo from Ur of tho Clialdoes; John an sxilo from Ephosns; Kosciusko an exile Train Foland; Mnzzinl an exile from Rome; Emmett an exile from Irelnnd; Victor Hugo an exile from France; Kossuth an ?xlie from Hungary. But this onoofwhora [ spenk to-day hail such resounding farewell nnd camo into such chilling reception ?for not oven a hostler went out with his nntern to help Him in?that Ho is moro to 30 celebrated thnn any other expatriated >no of earth or heaven. It is ninety-five million miles from hero to tho sun, and nil astronomers agree In mying that our solar system Is only ono of ho small wheels of the great machinery of he universe, turning round some onegrent .'enter, the centor so far distant it is borond nil imagination and calculation, and f, as some think, that great center in the iistanco is heaven, Christ came far from iome when Ho enmo here. Have you ever bought of the homesickness of Christ? Iome of you know what homesickness is, ivhen you have been only a few weeks nblent from tho domestic eirclo. Christ was thirty-threo years away from home. Home >f you feel homesickness when you nro a liundred or a thousand miles away from tho domestic circle. Christ was moro mil- ' ions of miles away from home than you ;ould calculate if ail your life you didnothng but calculate. You know what it is to bo homesick even amid pleasurable mrroundings; but Christ slept in huts, md Ho was nthlrst, and IIo wasa-hungored, ind Ho was on tho way from bolng born in mother man's barn to being buriod in anither man's grave. I have read how the Swiss, when they aro far away from their lativo country, at tho sound of their 11aional nir get so homesick that they fall ino melancholy, and sometimes they die indor the homesickness. But, oh, tho lomeslekness of Christ! Poverty homesick or celestial riches. Persecution homesick or hosanna. Weariness homesick for rest, Ioniesick for angelic and archangcllc.commnionship. Homesick to go out of the light and tho storm and the world's execration, and all that homesickness sufTered o get us home. At our host estate we are only pilgrims ind strangers hero. "Heaven is our home." Death will never knock at the door of that nnnsion, and in all that country there is lot a singlo gravo. How glad parents are n holiday times to gather their children lomo again. But I have noticed that there s almost always a son or a daughter nh- j ent?nbsent from homo, perhaps absent rom the country, perhaps absent from the vorld.
