Thxt: "He shal' divide the spoil ici'h the \
strong?Isaiah Jiii, 12.
My family, wno saw it with their |
own eyes year before last, tell me
that in the Coliseum at Rome, where
Eersjcutors use I to let out the half-starved
ons to eat up Christians, there is uow
planted the figure of a < ross. And I rejoice
to know that the upright piece of wcod
nailed to a transverse piece has become the
symbol not mo:e of suffering than of victory.
It is of Christ the Conqueror that my
text speaks As a kindly warrior, having
subdued an empire, might divide the palaces,
and mansions, and (ities, and valleys, and
mountains among his otiicers, sj Christ is
going to divide ui> all the earth, aud all the
heavens, among his people, and you and 1
will have to take our sh:ire if we are strong
in faith aud strong in our Christian loyality,
for my text declarer it: "He shall divide the
spoil with the strong."
The capture of this round planet for Christ
Is not so much of a job as you might imagine,
when the church takes o 1 its coat an I rolls
up its sleeves for ths work, as it will. Th ?re
are sixteen hundred millions of people now
in the world,and four hundred and fifty millions
are Christians. Subtract four hundred
? ?-i i Pkricfinne frnm 1
auu jiaij IUHI.UUJ
the sixteen hundred millions, and there are
eleven hundred and fifty millions left. Divide
the eleven hundred and fifty millions
who are not Christian; by the four hundred
and fifty mi lions who are.'Christians and you
will find that we shall have to average less
than three souls each brought by us into the
kingdom of God to have the whole world redeemed.
Certainly with the church rising
up to its full duty no Christian will be willing
to bring less than three souls into the kingdom
of God. I hope and pray. Almighty
God. that I may brin * ten thousand. I know
evangelists who have aliealy brought 50,000
each for the kingdom of God. There
are 200,000 people who e one and only
and absorbing business in the world
is to save souls. When you take
these things into consideration and that
the Christian will have to average the bringing
of only three souls each into the Kingdom
of our Lord, all impossibility vanishes from
this omnipotent crusade. Why, I know a
Sabbath-school teacher who ha< for many
years been engaged in training the young,
and she has had 5 different cla ses, and they
averaged 7 to a class, and they were all converted,
and 5 times 7 are ??>, as near as
I can calculate. So that she brought her
3 into the Kingdom of God and had to
spare. My grandmother prayed her children
into the Kingdom of Christ, and
her grandchildren, and I hove all her
great grandchildren, lor God remembers
a prayer seventy-five 3'ears old as though it
were only a minute old, and so she brought
her three* into the Kingdom of God and had
more than one hundred to spare. Besides
that, through the telephone and the tele
graph this whole world" within a few years
will be brought withi i compass in ten minutes.
Beside that, omnipotence, omnipresence
and omniscience are presiding in this matter
of the world's ba:termen% and that takes
the question of the world's salvation out
of the impossibilities into the possibilities,
and then out of the possibilities into the
probabilities, and then out of the probabilities
into the certainties. The building of the
Union Pa.ific Railroad from ocean to o ean
was a greater undei taking than the girdling
of the earth witb thi Gospel, for the one enterprise
depended upon the human arm while
the other depends upon Almightin S3.
Do I really mean all the earth will surrender
to Christ? Yes. How about th^ uninviting
portions? Will Greenland b2 evangelized/
The possibility is that after a few
moied hundrea brave lives are dashed out
among the icebergs, tha" gi eat refrigerator,
the Polar region, will be given up to the walrus
and bear, and that the inhabitants will
come down by invitation into tolerable climates,
or those climates may softeu, and, as
it has been positively demonstrated that the
Arctic region was once a blooming garden
and a fruitful field, those regions may change
climate and again be a blooming garden aud
a fruitful field. It is proved bayond contro
versy by German ana American scientists,
that the Arctic regions were the first portions
of this world inhabitable; the world hot
beyond human endurance, those regions
were of course the first to be co <1
enough for human foct and human
lung. It was positively proved that the Arctic
region was a tropical climate. Professor
Heer, of Zurich, says the remains of flowers
have been found in the Arctic, showing it
was like Mexico for climate, au I it is found
that the Arctic was the mother region from
which all the flowers descende.l. Professor
Wallac e says the remain < of all styles of animal
life are found in the Arctic, including
those animals that can live enly in warm
climates. Now, that Arctic region which
has 1 een demonstrate 1 by flora, aud fauua,
and geologl al argument to have been as full
of vegetation and life as our Florida, may be
turned tacKto its original Dioom anu giory, |
or it will be shut up as a museum of crystals
for curiosity reekers once in a while to visit
But Arctic and Autarctic in some shape will
belong to the Redeemer's realm.
What about other unproductive or repulsive
regions All the descr.s will be irrigoted,
the waters will be forced up to tho
freat American desert between hire and the
acific by machinery now known or yet to
be invented, and, as Great Salt Lake City
has no rain and could not raise an apple or a
bushel of wheat in a hundred years without
artificial help, but is now through such means
one great garden, so all the unproductive
parts of all the continents will be turned into
narvest fields ani orchads. A half dozen
De Les;-j s wiil furuMi the world with all
the auals needed, a:id will change the course,
of rive s and upon new lakes, aud tho great
Sahara Deseri will b ; cat up into farms
with a i ast nmliug yield of lioshels to the
a re. Tiie marsh will be drained of its
waters and cured of its malaria. I saw the
other day what was for many years called
the British Swamp of Ohio, its chief crop
chills and levers, but now, by the tilos put into
the ground to carry o.T the surplus moisture
transformed into th3 richest aud healthiest of
region*. The Ciod who wastes nothing, I
thiuk, means that this world, from pole to
pole, ha; to come to perfection of foliage
and fruitage. For that reason he keeps us
runniug thro lgh space, though so many fires
are blaing down in its timbers and so "many
mock terrors have threatened to dash it to
piece-;. As soon as the earth is completed I
Chri.-t will divide it tip among tha gool. |
The reason he does not divide it now is be- i
cause it is n^t done. A kind father will not ]
divide the apple among his children until the
applj is lijje. Iu lulfdlment of the New
Test nameut promise: "The meek shall inherit
the earth." and the promise of the Old
Testament: ' He ;-hall divide the spoils with
the strong.'' the worli will be apportioned to '
those worthy to possess it.
It is not so now. In this country, capable
of holding, feeding, clothing, and sheltering '
twelve hundred million people, and where
we have only sixty million inhabitants we
have two millions who canuot get honest
work, and witM their families an aggregation
of Hve millions that are on tho verge of
starve on. Something wron?, most certainly.
In some way, there will be a new apportionment.
Maay of the millionaire estates
will crack to pieces on the dissipations
of grandchildren, and then dissolve into tho
posses-ion of the masses who now have an
insufficiency.
What, you say, will become of the expensive
and elaborate building now devoted to
debasing a nuseinents.' They will berome
sch )ols, art galleries, museums, gymnasiums,
and churches. The world is already getting
disgusted with manv of these amusements.
an<5 no wonder. What an importation of
uuciean lueairicm stun kb uiivo wuuiu wo
last few years liad brought to our shores!
And professors of religion patronizing such
things! Having sold out to the devil, why
don't you deliver the goods and go over to
him publicly, body. mind, and soul, and
withdraw your name from Christian
chur h-'S. and ?-ay: "Know all the world by
these present; that 1 am a patron of uncleannef
s and a child of hell." Sworn to be the
Lord's, you are perjurors.
Hut at last the tide has turned, and the despisers
of purity overdid the matter. A foreign
actress of base morals arrived intending
to make the tour of the States, but the regaining
decency of our cities rose up and
canceled the contracts, and drove her ba"k
from our American stage, a woman fit for
neith' r continent. In the name of Almighty
Hod I take these abominations by the throat.
If you think these offenses are to go on forever,
you do not know who the Lord is. God
will not wait for the Day of Judgment. All
the-e palaces of sin will become palace? of
righteousness. Thev will come into the possession
of those strong for virtue and strong
for God. "He shall divide the spoil with
the strong."
China and Africa, the two richest portions
of the earth by reason of metals and rare
woods, and inexhaustible productiveness,are
not yet divided up among the frond because
th->y are not ready to be divided. Wait until
all the doors tliat Livingstone opened in
Afri a shall be entered, and Bishop Taylor
with his band of self-supporting missionaries
have ilone thc'r work, and the A^liantees and
S n.'gatnb'a is shall know Christ as well as

banks of the .Nile and the .Niger a higher
civilisation than is now to be found
on the banks of the Hudson, then
Christ will divide ud that continent
among his friends. Wnit until China, which
is half as large as all Europe, shall have develupe
1 her capacities for rice, and tea, and
sugar, among elibles: and her amethyst, and
sapphire, and topaz, and opal, and jasper,
anl porphyry, among precious stones; and
her rosewood, and ebony, and camphor, and
varnish trees among precious woods: and
turned up from her depths a half dozen Penn- I
sylvanias of coal and iron, and twenty Nevada
> of silver, and fifty Californias of gold,
and her five hundred million of people shall
be evangi/lixed; then the Lord will divide it
up among the good.
If my text be not a deception, but the
eternai truth, then the time is coming when
all ihe farms will be owned by Christian
farmers, and all the commerce controlled
by Christian merchants, and all the authority
held by Christian officials, and all the ships |
commanded by Christian captains, and all
the universities under the instruction of
Christian professors: Christian kings, Christian
presidents. Christian governors. Christian
mayors, Christian common council.
Yet, what a scouring out! what an upturning!
what a demolition! what a resurrection
musf rrecede this new apportionment!
I do no;underrate theenomy. Julius Ciesar
got his greatest victories by fully estimating
th . vastue>s of his foes an 1 prepared his men
for their greatest triumph by saying: "Tomorrow
King Juba will be hero with thirty
thousand horses, one hundrel thousand skirmishers,
and three hundred elephants." I
do oot underrate the vast forces of Sin
and Death; but do you know who commands
us? Jehovah-jireh. And the reserve
corps behind us are all tha armies
of heaven and earth, with hurricane and
thunderbolt. The good work of the world's
redempion is goingon every minute. Never

on the side of right a-; to-day. Ne ver so many
good peopie as now. Diogenes has been
spokeu of as a wise mm because ho went
with a lantern at noonday, saying he was
looking for an honest man. It' ho hid
turned his lantern toward himself he might
have discovered a crank. Honest men by the
ten thousaud! Through the International
Series of Sunday-school lessous the
next generation all through Christendom are
going to be wiser than any generation since
the world stood. The kingdom is coining.
God can do it. No housewife with a chamois
cloth ever polished a silver teaspoon with
more ease tliati Christ will rub off from this
world the tarnish, aud brighten it up till it
glows like heaven, aud then the glorious apportionment,
for my tett is reinforced by a
score of other texts, when it says of Christ:
' He shall divide the spoil with the strong."
"But,' you say, "that is pleasant to think
of for others, but before that time I sha'l
have passed up into another existence, aud I
shall get no advantage from that new apportomment."
Ah, you have o:ily driven me
to the otber more exciting and transporting
consideration, and that is that Christ is going
to divide up heaven in the fame way.
There are ol 1 estate.; in the ceiestial world
that have been in the possession of
the inhabitants for thousands of years,
aud they shall remain as they
ate. There are old family mansions
in heaven filled with whole generations of
kindred, and they shall never be driven out.
Many of tho victors from earth have already
got their palaces, an I they are pointed out
to those newly arrived. Soon after our getting
there we will ask to be shown the Ados
tone residences, ana ass wnere aoes raui
live, aud John, ami shown the patriarchal
residences, and shall say: "Where does
Abraham live, or Jacob'" and shown the
martyr residences and say: "Where does
John Hu:s live, and Ridley P We will waut
to see the boulevards where the chariots
of conquerors roll. I will waut to so.the
garden where the princes walk. Wo
will want to Fee Music Row, where Handel,
aud Haydn, and Mozart, and Charles Wesley,
and Thomas Hastings, and Bradbury
have their homes, out of their windows, ever
and anon, rolling some snatch of an earthly
oratorio or h vmn transported with the composer.
We will want to see Revival Ter.-ace,
where Whitefield, and Nettleton, and Payson,
and Rowland Hill, and Charles Finney, and
other giants of soul-reaping are resting from
their almost supernatural labors, their doors
thronged with converts just arrived, coming
to report themselves.
But brilliant as the sunset, an l like the
leaves for number, are t ie celestial homes
yet to ba awarded, when Christ to you, and
millions of others, shall divide the spoil.
What do you want there/ You shall have it.
An orchu'd.' There it is; twelve manner of
fruits, aud fruit every month. Do you want
river scenery? Take your choice on the
tanks of the river, in longer, wider, deeper
roll than Danube, or Amazon, or Mi sissippi
if mingled in one, and emptying into
the sea of glass mingled with tire. Do
you waut your kindrel baik again?
Go out and meet your father and mother
without the staff or the stoop, and your children
in a dance of immortal glee. Do you
want a throne.' Select it from the million
burnishel elevations. Do you waut a crown?
Pick it out of that mountain of Tliamond.'d
coronets. Do yoa want your old church
friends of earth around youl Be^-in to hum
an old revival tune and they will flock from
all quarters to revel with yoa in sacred reminiscence,
All the earth for thoso who are
here on earth at, the time of continental and
planetary d strilmtion, aud all the heavens
for those who are there.
That heavenly distribution of spoils will be
a surprise to many. Here outers li?aven tho
soul of a man who took up a great deal of
room in the church on earth but sacrificed
littlo nnrl nmrmrr his <rr>ml works selfishness
was evident. He just crowds through the
shining gate, but it's a very tight s jueeze, so
that the door-keeper has to pull hard to get
him in, and this man expects half of heaven
for his share of trophies, and ho would like
a monopoly of all its splendor, and to
purchase lots in the suburbs so that he
could get advautage of the growth of
the city. Well, little by little grace of
heart, just enough to get him through, and
to him is given a se ond-hand crown which
one of the saints wore at the start, but exchanged
for a brighter one as he went on
from glory to glory. And ho is put in an old
house onre occupied by an angel who was
hurled out of Heaven at the time of Satan's
rebellion.
Right after him comes a soul that makes a
great stir among the celestials, and the
angels rush to the scene ea-h bringing to her
a dazzling coronet. Who is she.- Over what
realm on earth was she queen? In what great
Dusseldorf festival was she the cantatrice?
Neither. Slie was an invalid who never left
her room for twenty vears: but she was
strong in prayer, and she prayed down revival
after revival, and j eutecost after peutecost,
unon (he churches, and with her
pale hand3 she knit miny a mitteu or
tippet for the poor, and with her
contrivances she added joy to many a
holiday f( stival, and now with thnse thin
hand, so strong for kindness, and with those
white lips so strong for supplication she has
won corouat'on. and en'Imminent and jubilee.
Au 1 Christ says to the angels who
hive brought each a crowu for the glorified
in valid: "No, not these; they are uot good
enough. But iu the jeweled vase at the
right hand side of my throue there is one
that I have been preparing for her many a
year, an.I for her every* nautr I have set an
amethyst, nu>l for her every good deed I
havo set a pearl. Fetch it now and fulfill
the promise I gave her long ago in the sick
room: 'Ba thou faithful unto death, and I
will give thee a crown.'"
Hut notice that there is only one being in
the universe who can and will distribute the
trophies of earth and heaven. It is the Divine
Warrior, the Com:nauder-iu-Chief of i
the centuries, the champion of ages, the universal
conqueror, the .Son of God, Jesus. You
will take the spoils from His hand, or never
take the 11 at all. Have His friendship and
you may defy all time and all eternity,
but without it you arc a pau1
er. though you had a universe at your
command. We are told in Revelation that
! Jacob's twelve sous were so honored as to
have the twele gates of Heaven name! after
them?over one gate of Heaven Naphtali,
over another gate of Heaven Issachar, over
another Dan. over another Gail,over an jther
Zebu Ion, over auother Judab, and so on. But
Christ's name is written over all the gates,
and on every panel of the gates; and have
His hdp, His jardon, His intercession, His
atonement, I must, or be a lorloru wretch ;
forever. My Lord and my Godl make me i
and all who hear me this day, and all to 1
whom these words shall come, thv re- I
pentant, believing, sworn, consecrated and
rausomed followers forever.
What a day it will be! This entire assemblage
would rise to your feet if you could 1
realize it, the day iu which Christ shall in
fulfillment of my text divide the spoil. It
was a great day when Queen Victoria, in the
midst of the Crimean war, distributed medals
to the soldiers who ha I come home sick
and wounded. At the Horse Guard?, in pre3en
e of tho Royal Family, the injured men
were <arrie J in or came on crutches?Colonel
Trowbridge, who lost both feet at Inkerman,
and Capta:n Sayer, who had the ankle
joint of his right leg snot on ac Aima; anu
Captain Curre, his disabled limb supported
by a soldier, and others maimed, and disfigure
J, an J exhausted?and with her osvn hand
thj Queen gave each the Crimean medal j
.And what triumphant days for those soldiers j
when, further on, they received the French 1
medal with the imperial eagle, audthe Turk- j
ish medal with its representation of four
flags?France, Turkey, England and Sardinia?and
beneath it a map of the Crimea
spread over a gun wheal.
And what rewards are suggested to all
readers of history by the mere mention of
the Waterloo medal, and the Cape medal, j
and the Cold Cross medal, and the medals
struck for bravery in our American wars. !
But how insignificant all these compared with I
the day when the good soldiers of Jesus
Christ shall come in out of the battles of this
world and in the presence of all the piled up
tralleries of the redeem :d and the
unfallen, Jesus, our King, shall divi
le the spoil! The more wounds, the
greater the inh2ritauce. The longer the
forced march, the brighter the trophy. The
more terrible the exhaustion, the more glorious
the transport. Not the gift of a brilliant
ribbon, or a medal of brass, or silver, or
gold, but a kingdom in which we are to reign
lor ever and ever. Mansions on the eternal
hills. Domiuions of unlading power. Empires
of unending love. Continents of everlasting
light. Atlantic and Faciflc oceans
of billowing joy. It was a great day
when Aurelian, _ the Roman Emperor^
raaie back fro:n his victories. In the
front of the procession were wild beast9
from all lauds, sixteen hundred gladiators
richly clad, wagon loads of crowns and
trophies presented by conquered cities;
among the captives Syrian-, Egyptians
Goths. Vandals, Sarmatians, Franks: and
Zenobia, the beautiful captive queen, on foot
in chains of gold that a slave had to helD her
carry, and jewels under the weight of whi. h
she almost fainted. And then came the
chariot of Aurelian drawn by four elephants
in gorgeous caparison, and followed
by the Roman, Senate and the Roman army;
aud from dawn till dark the procession was
passing. Rome in all her history never saw
anything more magnificent. But how much
greater the day when our Conqueror, Jesus,
shall ride under the triumphal arches of
heaven; His captives, not on foot, but in
chariots,all the kingdoms of earth and heaven
in procession; the armies celestial on white
horses. Rumbling artillery of thunderbolts
never again to be unlimbered. Kingdoms in
...
line, centurus in line. sBinu^r, tumuwi.,
seraphic, archangelic splendors in line, and
Christ seated on one great rolling Hosanna,
made out of all Hallelu-abs of all worlds,
shall cry halt to the procession. And not
forgetting even the humblest in all the reach
of His omnipresence, He shall rise, and then
and there, His work done and His glory consumated,
proceed, amid an ecstasy such as
neither mortal nor immortal ever imagined,
to divide the spoil.

Earl}' Temperance Laws in England
The most stringent laws we have hud
passed were those of James I., .which
may almost be called the first piec of
tempera.ice legisl tion; for though the
Act of Edward VI. gave [ower to the
Justices to suppress unnecessary tippling
houses, it was chiefly dirccte.J against
using unlawful gamc3, and bound tile
licensed victualers to keep good order in
thei. hous s. The act in the first year
of James was intended to restrain the
inordiuiite haunting and tip i!ing in inns
and ale houses; it declar. s the "true use
of ale houses" to be for ihe relief of
wayfarer , and i ot for the "entertainment
of lewdc and idle people," There
was to be a p naltv of 10s. for permitting
"unlawf :1 drink'ng,"andall dr'nking
was unlawful except by bona fide
travelers, by the guests of travelers, and
by art'sans and laborers dur ng their
d nncr hour. The public house was ouly
to be open to rc-idents in the locality for
one hour in tbe day, for the consumption
of li>]U>r on the premises. This
act was made perpetual, with some modilicat
ons intended to render conviction
more ea'-y, in the last Parliament of
James. In the first of Charhs the penalties
were somewhat relaxed; but the
law could not be enforced, ana under
these stringent laws drunkenness increased
apacc. It had reached an extraordinary
pitch in 1059, when a French
Prot stant wrote from London: "There
js within this city, and in all the towns
of England which 1 have passed through,
so prodigious a number of houses where
they sella certiin drink callcJ ale, that I
think a good half of the iuha itants
may be denominat d ale house keepers.
* * * But what is most deuloi able,
where gentlemen sit and spend much of
their time drinking a muddy kind of
beverage, and tobacco, which has uni.
versally besotted tho nation, and at
which I hear they have con umed many
noble esta cs. * * * And that nothing
may be wanting to the height of
luxury and impiety of this abomination,
they have translated the organs out of
tlr; churches to set them up in taverns,
chanting their dithyrnmbics and be.-tial
bacchauulias to the tunc of those iuslrurncnts
whh h were wont to assist them in
the celebration of Cod's | raises, auti

A prominent life insurance man in
Ilartford, Conn., says that his experience
and the records of life insurance have j
shown him that young men of twenty
years of a^e who nb tain entirely from
all kinds of intoxicating drinks have a
good prospect of living to be sixty-four
years of age; while the moderate drinker,
at twenty years of age, can only expect
to live to be thirty-five and one-half

How Drunkards Arc Made.
The startling statement copied belo w
from the New York Herald is deserving
of attention: "Now, yon watch tho;;e 1
children. They'll drink half that beer
before they get home, and their mothers <
will scold me for not giviug a good pint,
and I've given nearly a quart," said the.
bartender of a down town saloon yesterday,
referring to two little girls of six
and eight, thinly clad, who came in for
a pint of beer. The reporter did watch
the young ones. They had scarcely got
outside of the saloon-door when the one
who carried the tin pai! lifted it to her
lips and took a draught. Then her companion
enjoyed a few swallows. A little ,
further on they entered a tenement house
hallway, and both again took a sip. *'I
have lots of such customers," said the '
' (
bartender, when'the reporter returned to ,
light his cigar. "Girls and boys and ,
women form half our trade. AVe call it 1
family trade. It pays our expenses. 1
Our profits come from the drinks at the
bar. But I tell you what, half the children
who comi- herd drink. That's how :
drunkards are made. They sec the old !
folks tipple, and begin to taste the beer '
them elves.
"Few of the children who come in (
here for beer or ale carry a full pint i
home. Sometimes two or three corae in 1
in together, and if you watch 'em, you'll
hear one begging the other who carries
the pail for a sip. We must sell it, , i
however, when their parents 6<;nd for it. j1
We are bound to do so. Business is !'
business. We don't keep a temperance j

Wine Making on the Pacific Coast, i
The California Censor, in a vigorous '
article protesting against the increasing 1
wine manufacture on the Pacific coast, ^
-ays: !
' There is 110 more necessity for making
wine and brandy in this laud because
it raises grap:s than there is for making
whisky or gin becau<e it produces wheat ,
and barley, or to organize bands of rob- i
bcrs because the mountains near at hand 1
afford safe hiding places for them.
"^ome men may profit for a time Gnan- \
cially by making wine and brandy, but ,
they can only do so by producing drunk- j
enncss, beggary, and crime among their
neighbors here and elsewhere. And to
do that is a crime of the deepest dye. ,
"One man may use a bottle or a barrel 1
of wine without apparent harm to himself
or others, but the produc t of a vine- !
yard used to make wine or brandy, pro- i
duces murderers, thieves, prostitutes, 1
and incendiaries to prey upon the lives 1
and properties of the descent, honest
neighbors of the wine-men."
The manufacture of alcoholic wines in
this country is assuming increasing and
dangerous proportions, and ought to be
discouraged to the uttermost by all true
friends of temperance.?National Advocate.
The License System Wron/j.
"naif a^oaf is better than no bread,"
is the argument used by a High Licence
advocate in support of his theory that
this would be the most expedient means

Spreading Eye Diseases.
To mention a few of the modes of eye
disease contagion, I have to speak, in
the first place,of towels, says a writer in j
the Medical and Surgical Journal, espe- )
ciaily of that abominable institution ,
known as the roller-towel, which haa
been used so much in asylums where 1
forty,fifty or more children use the same j
toweJ,whetlier they nave grnnuiar hub or ,
not. True, in a great many of these <
cases the existen; e of granular lids was i
not known; but even in cases in which I
the existence of the disease was evident, '
the ignorance or carelessness of the per- J
sons in charge has allowed transmission ,
by means of towels to be one of the most t
fre jiient sources of contagion. As a car- <
rier of the contigion, the house fly plays '
an important role, especially in cases of
young children who are not able to protect
themselves against the visits of this ,
little animal. Attracted by the sweetish i
odor of the dischar e, it will settle upon
the eyes of children affectcd with tho
disease, especially infants, and carry the
contagion in its clawi to the other eye or
the eves of the sleeping infants.
Bicycling Extraordinary.
An extraordinary bicycling race was
recently decided in connection with the
South Australian 'Cyclists' Union at Adelaide.
It occurrcd in the final heat of
the Walker handicap and the bicycle obstacle
race. The conditions of the obstacle
race were: First lap?To ride
round, lift machines over five hurdles,
mounting machines after getting ever
hurdles, cxcept the last one, when you
run (o the centre of the oval, lie on your
back and eat a roll. Second lap?Crawl <
through the bags under tarpaulin and <
through casks, run one hundred yards
ivitli bicycle, mount and finish lap in
the saddle, dismounting opposite pavilion.
Third lap?Hun to centre of oval,
put on coat and bell-topper and riile to
ihe scoring board at the south end, then
across the oval and over the water .jump,
round the flag, on to the track, and finish.
Enormous crowds witnessed this
uvent. and the obstacle amateur champion
was the hero of the hour in Adelaide
'cycling circles.
Saved by Sea Gnlls._
"I had a funny experience the other
Jay," said Aiuly Owens, a tugraan on
the river. "While out on the lake in a
small b >at, about dusk, I noticed a great
cloud of birds sweeping down upon me
from the nor'east. They were traveling
nn air-line, and, as near as I could judge,
nbout 100 feet above the water. As they
c.ime nearer and nearer I saw they were
gulls, and the more I watched them the
more I became convinced that they were
being chased by a gale. Throwing all
iny muscle into the oars, I started for
Oiore with all the speed I could command.
The sea was getting choppy, and
the wind, which had been due north,
suddenly became quite stiff and cold.
The birds reached the Breakwater long
before I did. but not one of us goi mere
too soon. Ten minutes from the time I
started to 'pull out' the wind was blowing
great guns. If I had not turned tail
and followed the gulls you can bet that
[ would not have been here now.''?

Care of Horses' Feet.
It is generally conceded by horsemen
that lameness originates chiefly in the
faulty treatment of the horses foot.
This fact suggests several recommendations
for the mitigation of the evil:
First, bare feet. It may be stated as a
general proposition that any horse with
fairly good feet need never be shod at
all. In the barefooted horse the heels
spread out, the frogs descend, ridges
form upon the soles, giving to the bottom
of tne feet a good purchase upon either
a rough or smooth surface. lie soon
learns to rely upon himself and so adjusts
his equilibrium to motion thnt he
neither strains himself, nor slip3 nor
stumbles. Horsemen have often given
this plan a short, faint hearted trial, but
on the fir*t manifestations of foot soreness
at the end of a few weeks, and before
the feet have become inured to the
change, usually have the shoes replaced
again.?Spirit of the Turf.

Pardee Medicine Co.:
Gentlemen:?Nearly all winter I was confined
to my room with inflammatory rheumatism.
I commenced using Dr. Pardee's
Rheumatic Remedy, but after takiug it for
a time the pain became more intense, and I
was alarmed and feared the remedy was
making me worse, but continued its use and
soon the pain left mo, and I gradually improved,
the soreness leaving my arms and
shonlders and seeming t) pass out at my t/ es.
It has completely cured me. At the time
I commenced using the remedy, I bad a
throat difficulty aud the catarrh, which I
fouud t > be better after taking it, and it occurred
to me to us9 it as a gargle, whk h T
did, and t) my great satisfaction I improved
rapidly, and to-day am free from both rheumatism
and catarrh. I consider it indispensable
as a family medicine. I take oni teaspoonful
after breakfast, and find it a splendid
tonic. I would advise you to recommend
it as a gargle for throat troubles and catarrh,
for I know it will cure. I have seen seme
remarkable cures from the uso of this remedy,
and it is one I can recommend to alL
I am, very truly yonrs,
