I Caught a Great Eagla.
P. Marker, who is working out at A.
H. Smith's sawmill on Rifle Creek, set a
lar^e trap., thinking to catch a monster
bear, whose tracks were seen in the
neighbovhood. Several days after he
went out to look at his trap, but iDsteA
of the bear he found a large eagle, the
largest, perhaps, ever seen in the Rocky
Mountains. Tlie eagle had been caught

leg just above the claws. He had dragged
the immense trap, which was secured to
a log by a chain, into some brush more
than twenty-five feet from the spot where
trapped, and was dead. So large and
strong was his leg that it was not broken.
The eagle was too large to carry, so the
trapper cut both legs off as trophies.
He measured the huge bird, afld it was
twelve feet from tip to tip of its outstretched
wings.?Myrtle Point "West

SERMON.
Subject: "Heaven."
Text: "There was silence in heaven
about the space of half an Ttour."?Revelation
viii., 1.
The busiest place in the universe is neaven.
It is the center from which all good influences
start. It is the goal at which all
good results arrive. The Bible represents it
as active with wheels and wings and orchestras
and processions mounted or charioted.
But my text describes a space when the
wheels ceased to roll, and the trumpets to
sound, and the voices to chent. The riders
on the wbito horses reigned in their
chargere. The doxologies were hushed and
the processions halted. The hand of arrest
was put upon all the splendors. "Stop,
heaven!" cried an omnipotent voice, and it
stopped. For thirty minutes everything
celestial stood still. "There was silence in
heaven for half an hour ."
From all we can learn it is the only time
heaven ever stopped. It does not stop as
other cities for the night,. for there is no
nifcht there. It does not stop for a plague,
for the inhabitant never says, "I am sick."
It does not stop for bankruptcies, for its inhabitants
never fail. It does nor stop for
imnaspable streets, for there are no fallen
snows nor sweeping freshete. What, then,
stopped it for thirty minutes? Grotius and
Professor Stuart think it was at the time of
the destruction of Jerusalem. Mr. Lord
thinks it was in the year 311. between the
close of the Diocletian persecution and the
beginning of the wars by which Constantine
gained the throne. But that was all a guass,
thoueh a learned and brilliant guess. I do
not Tknow when it was and 1 do not care
when it was, but of the fact that such an interregnum
of sound took place, I am certain.
"There was silence in heaven for half
an hour."
And first of all we may learn that God
aud all heaven honored silence. The longest
and widest dominion that ever existed is
that over which stillness was queen. For
an eternity there had not been a sound.
World making was a later day occupation.
For unimaginable ages it was a mute universe.
God was the only being, and as
there was no one to speak to there was no
utterance. But that silence has been all
broken up into worlds, and it has become a
noisy universe. Worlds in upheaval, worlds
in congelation, worlds in conflagration,
worlds in revolution. If geologists are right
?and I believe they are?there ha3 not
been a moment of silence since this world
I began its travels, and the crashings, and tlie
splittings, and the uproar, and the hubI
bub are ever in progress.
But when among the supernals a voice
cried, "Hush!" and for half an hour heaven
was still, silence was honored. The full
nower of silence manv of us have yet to
learn. We are told that when Christ was
arraigned, "He answered not a word." That
silence was louder than any thunder that
ever shook the world. Oftentimes, when we
are assailed and misrepresented, the mightiest
thing to say is nothing, and the mightiest
thing to do is nothing. Those people
who are always rushing into print to get
themselves set right accomplish nothing but
their own chagrin. Silence! Do right and
leave the results with God. Among the
grandest lessons the world has ever learned
are the lessons of patience taught by those
who end-ired uncomplainingly personal or
domestic or social or political injustice.
Stronger than any bitter or sarcastic or
revengeful answer was the patient silence.

four sons and daughters dead. The remaining
child by sunstroke made insane. The
afflicted man said, "At this moment there
is not an inch of my body that is not filled

silent. Those who were in his presence
said they felt as though they were in
the gates of heaven.
Ob, the power of patient silence 1 Eschylus.

death for writing something that offended
the people. All the pleas in his behaif were
of no avail, until his brother uncovered the
arm ot the prisoner and showed that bis

silent p.ea liberated him. The loudest thing
on earth is silence if it be of the right kind
and at the right time. There was a quaint

My iriends, the tossing Sea of Galilee
seemed most to offend Christ by tne amount
of noise it made, tor He said to it, "Be still!"
Heaven has been crowning kings and queens
unto GoJ lor many centuries, yet heaven
never stopped a moment for any such occurrence,
but it stopped thirtv' minutes for the
coronation of Silence, "fhere was silence
in heaven for half an hour."
Learn also from ray text that heaven must
be ?n eventful an l active place, from the
fact that it could afford only thirty minutes
o reces.-'. Tnere have been events on earth
ani in heaven that seemed to demand a
wooleday or whole week or whole year for
celestial consideration. If Grotius was right
and this silence occurred at the time of the
destruction of Jerusalem, that scene was so
awiul and so prolonged that the inhabitants
of heaven could not nave done iustica to it!
in many weeks.
After fearful besielement of the two fortresses
of Jerusalem?Antonio and Hippicus
?had bsen going on for a long while,a Roman
soldier mounted on the shoulder of another

atiame. and alter covering many sacrifices
to the holiness ot God, the building itself
became a sacrifice to the rage of man. The
hunger of the people in that city during the
besiegement was so great that as some outlaws
vvere passing a doorway and inhaled
the odors of loo/, taey ourst opeu the door,
tmeati-ning the motaer of the household
with death unless she gave them food, and
she tcol: them aside and saowed them it was
her own child sue was cooldng for the ghastly
repast.
Six hundred priests were destroyed on
Mount Zion because the temple being gone
there was nothing for them to do. Six thousand
people in one cloister were consumed.
There were one million one hundred thou
sand dead, according to Jo3ephu?. lirotius
t inks that this was the causa of silence in
heaven for half au hour. If Mr. Lord was
right and this silence was during tha Diocletian
j>ersecutions, by which eight hundred
and forty-four thousand Christians suffered
death from sword and fire and banishment
and exposure, why did not heaven listen
throughout at least one of those awful years?
2To! Thirty minutes! The fact is that the
celestial programme is so crowded with spectacle
that it can afford only one recess in all
eternity and that for a short spa?e.
While there are great choruses in which
all heaven can join, each soul there has a
story of divine mercy peculiar to itself and
it must be a solo. How can heaven get
throuzh with all its recitatives, with all
its canto?, with all Its grand marches, with
all its victories? Eternity is too short to
ntter all the praise. In my text heaven
spared thirty minute?, but it will never
again spare one minute. In worship in
earthly churches, when there are many to
take part, we have to counsel brevity, "but
how will heaven get on rapidly enough to
let the one hundred and forty-four thou
Band get through each with his own Rtory,
and then the one hundred and forty-four
million, and then the one hundred and
forty-four billion, and then the one huudred
and forty-four trillion.
toNot only are all the triumphs of the past
be commemorated, but all ths triumphs
to come. Not only what we now know of
God, but what we will know of Him after
everlasting study of the Detfic. If my text
had said there was silence in heaven for,
thirty days, I would not have heen startled
at the announcement, but it indicates thirty
minutes. Why. there will be so many friends
to hunt up; so many of the greatly good and
useful that we will want to see; bo many of
the inscrutable things of earth we will need
explained; so many exciting earthly experiences
we will want to talk over, and all the
other spirits and all the ages will want the
same,that there will be no more opportunity
for cessation.
How busy we will be kept in having
pointed out to us tbe heroes and heroines
that the world never fully appreciated?the
yellow fever and cholera doctors who died,
not flying from their posts; the female
nurses who faced pestilence in the lazarettos;
the railroad engineers who staid at their
placse in order to save the train though
they themselves perished.

Hubert Goffin, the master miner, who,
landing from the bucket at the bottom of
the mine, just as he heard the waters rush
in, and when one jerk of the rope would
have lifted him into safety, put a blind miner
who wanted to go to his "sick child in the

pulled up, crying, "Tell them the water has
burst iu and we are probably lost, but we will
seek refuse at the other end of the right gallery;"
and then giving the command to the
other miners till they digged themselves so
near out that the people from the outside
could come to their rescue. The multitudes
of men and women who got no crown on
earth we will want to see when they get
their crown in heaveD. I tell you heaven
will have no more half hours to spare.
Besides that, heaven is full of children.
They are In the vast majority. No child on
earth that amounts to anything can be kept
quiet half an hour, and how are you going
to keep five hundred million of them quiet
half an hour. You know heaven is much
more of a place than it was when that recess
of thirty minutes occurred. Its population
has quadrupled, septupled, centupled.
Heaveu has more on hand, more of rapture,
more of knowldge, more of intercommunica^
tion, more of worship.
There is not so much difference between
Brooklyn seventy-five years ago, when there
were a few houses down on the East river
and the village reached up only to Sande
street, as compared with what this great
city is now?yea, not so much difference between
New York when Canal Ttreet was far
up town, and now when Canal street is far
down town, than there is a difference between
what heaven was when my text was
written and what heaven is now. The mosC
thrilling place we have ever been in is stupid
comparea with that; and if we now have no
time to spare we will then have no eternity
tospare. Silence in heaven only half an
hour.
My subject also impresses ma with the immortality
of a half hour. That half hour
mentioned in my text is more widely known
than any other period in the calendar of
heaven. None of the whole hours of heaven
are measured off, none of the years, none of
the centuries. Of the millions of ages past
and the millions of ages to come not one is
especially measured off in the Bible. The
half hour of my text is made immortal. The
only pa.-t of eternity that was ever measured
by earthly timepiece was measured by the
minute hand of my text.
Oh, the half hours! They decide everything.
I am not asking what you will do
with the years or months or day3 of your
life, but what of the half hours. Tell me
the history of your half hours and I will
tell you the story of your whole life on earth
and the story of your whole life in eternity.
The rieht or wronc things you cau think in
thirty minutes, the right or wrong things
you can say in thirty minutes, the right or
wrong things you can do in thirty minutes
are glorious or baleful, inspiring or desperate.
Look out for the fragments of time.
They are pieces of eternity.

that made Henry Wilson vice president of
the United States; the half hours between

after your r ytura from business?tuat makes
the difference between the scholar and the
ignoramus, between the Christian and the
infidel, between the saint and th9 demon, between
trftimph and catastrophe, between
heaven and "hell. The most tremendous
things of your liio and mine were certain
half hours.
The half hour when in the parsonage of a
country minister I resolve! to become a
Christian then and there; the half hour
when 1 decided to become a preacher of the
Gospel, the half hour when I first realizad
that my son was dead; the half hour whap
I stood on the top of my housa in Oxford
street and saw our church burn; the half
hour in which I entered Jerusalem; the
half hour in which X ajscencad Mount Calvary;
tbo half hour in which I stood on.
Mar3 hill; the half hour in which the dedicatory
prayer of this temple was made, and
about ten or fifteen other naif hours are the
chief times of ray life. You may forget the
name of the exact years or most of the important
events of your existence, but those
naif hours, like the half hour of my text, will
be immortal.
T An nnorir what von will do with the
* J? ?
Twentieth century. I do not query what
you will do with 1893, but what will you do
with the half hour? Upon that hinges
your destiny. \nd during that seme of you
will receive the Gospel and make complete
surrender, Rod during that others of you
will make final and fatal rejection of the
full and tree and urgent and impassioned
offer of life eternal. Oh, that the next half
hour might be the most glorious thirty minutes
of your earthly exiscence.
Far hack in history a great geographer
stood with a sailor looking at a globe that
represented our planet, an 1 he pointed to a
' 1 ? 4,1 ?1 -U- MUAMA fhnpa
place on me giuue Yirucio uo v^iuuguu
was an undiscovered continent. That undiscovered
continent was America. The
geographer who pointed where he' thought
there was a new world was Martin Behaim,
and the sailor to whom he .showed it was
Columbus. This last was not satisfied till ho
had picked that gem out of the sea and set it
in the crown of the world's geography. Oh,
ye who have been 'sailing up and down the
rough soas of sorrow and sin, let me point
out to you another continent, yea, another
world, that you mar yourselves find a rapturous
world, and that is the world a half
hour of which we now study. Ob, set sail
for it! Here is the ship and here are the
compasses.
In other words, make this half hour, beginning
at twenty minutes to twelve by my
watch, the grandest half hour of your life
onH hf><v>mn ? Christian. Prav for a reeen
erateri spirit. Louis XIV, while walking in
the garden at Versailles, met Mansard, the
.great architect, and the architect took off
his hat before the king. "Put on your hat,"
said the king, "for tbe evening is damp and
cold." And Mansard, the architect, the rest
of the evening kept on his hat. The dukes
and marquise9 standing with bare heads before
the king expressed their surprise at
Mansard, but the king said, "I can make a
duke or a marquis, but God only can make a
Mansard." And I say to you,my hearers. God
only by His convincing andconverting grace
can make a Christian, but He is ready this
very half hour to accomplish it.
Again ray text suggests a way of studying
heaven so that we can better understand it.
The word "eternity" that we handle so
much is an immeasurable word. Knowing
that we could not understand that word the
Bible uses it only once. We say, "Forever
and ever;" but "how long is "forever and
ever?" I am glad that my text puts under
our eyos heaven for thirty minutes. As
when you would see a srre.it picture you put
a sheet of paper into a scroll and look
through it, or join your forefinger to your
thumb aud look through the circl6 between,
and tbe picture becomes more intense, so
this masterpiece of heaven by St. John is
more impressive when we take only thirty
minutes of it at a time. Now we have something
that we can come nearer to grasping,
and it is a quiet heaven. When we discourse
about the multitudes of heaven it must be
almost a nervous shock to those who have
ail cneir Jives oeen crowoeu uy uuu;
ple and who want a quiet heaven.
For the last thirty-five years I have been
much or the time in crowds and under public
scrutiny and amid excitements, and I have
sometimes thoueht for a few weeks after I
reach heaven I would like to go down in
some quiet part of the realm with a few
friends and for some little while try comparative
solitude. Then there are th\se
whose hearing is so delicate that they get no
satisfaction wnen you describe the crash of
the eternal orchestra, and they feal like saying,
as a good woman in Hudson, N. Y,
said, after hearing me speak of the mighty
chorus of heaveD. "That must be a great
heaven, but what will become of my poor
head?" Yes, this half hour of my text is a
still experience.
There was silence in heaven for half an
hour." You will find the inhabitants all
at home. Enter the King's Pjlace and take
only a glimpse, for we have only thirity minutes
for all neaven. "Is that Jesus?" "Yes."
Just under the hair along His forehead is the
mark of a wound made by a buach of
twisted bramble?, and His foot on the throne
has on the round of His instep another mark
of a wound made by a spike, and a scar on
the palm of the lett hand. But what a
countenance! What a smile I What a
grandeur! What a loveliness! What
an overwhelming look of kindness
| and grace! Way. He looks as if
He had redeamed a world! But come on,
for our time is short. Do you see that row of
palaces? That is the Apostolic row. Do
you see that long reacti of architectural
glories? That is. Martyr row. Do you see
chat immense structure? That is the big st
house in heaven; that is "the House of
Alany Mansions." Do you see that wall?
jjhade your eyes against its burning splendor;
for that is the wall of heaven, jasper
at the bottom an l amethyst at the top.
See this river rolling through the heart of
the great metropolis? That is the river
concerning which those who once lived on
th9 banks of the Hudson, or the Alabama,
or the Rhine, or the Shannon
say, "We never saw the like ot thiB
.for clarity and sheen." That is the
chief river of heav?a?so brizht. so wide, so
deep. But you a<K, "vVnere are th3
asylums for the oU?" I answer, "The
innabitants are all young." "Where are
the hospitals for the lame?' "They are all
JJ **WV?QT*rv ora tho ir?flffr\i* f.hA
blind and deaf?' 'They all see and hear."
' Where are the altnhonses for the poor?'1
"They are all multimillionaires." "Where
are the inebriate asylums?" "Why, there
are no saloons." *' Where are the graveyards?'
"Why, they never die." Pass
down those boulevards of gold and
amber and sapphire and Bee those
interminable streets built by the Architect
of the universe into homes,
over the threshold of which sorrow
never steps, and out of whose windows faces,
once pale with earthly sickness, now look
rubicund witn immortal health. "Oh, let
tne go in and see thern?" you say. No, you
cannot go in. There are those there who
rcould never consent to let you come un.
7ou~sa~y?VILet; me Hay Herein ?EuF~place
where they never sin, whore thev never suffer,
where they never part." No, no! Our
time is short, our thirty minutes are almost
gone. Come on! We must get back to the
earth before this half hour of heavenly silence
breaks up, for in your mortal state you cannot
endure the pomp and splendor and resonance
when this half hour of silence is ended.
The day will come wnen you uu seo
heaven in fall blast, but not now. I am now
only showing you heaven at the dullest half
hour of all tpe eternities. Come on! There is
something in the celestial appearancs which
makes me think that the hall hour of silence
will soon be over. Yonder are the white
horses being hitched to chariots, and yonder
are seraphs fingering harps as if about to
strike them into symphony, and yonder are
conquerors taking down from the blua halls
of heaven the trumpets of victory.
Remember, we are mortal yet, and cannot
endure the full roll of heavenly harmonies
and cannot endure even the silent heaven
for more than half an hour. Hark I the
clock in the tower of heaven begins to strike
ahd th9ialf hour is ended. Descend I Come
back! Come down till your work is donel
Shoulder a little longer your burdens! Fi^ht
a little longer your battles! Weep a little
longer your griefs 1 And then take heaven,
not in its dullest half hour, but in its
mightiest pomp, and instead of taking it
for thirty minutes take It world without
?nd.

A bright half-dollar of the coinage of
1876 was found in a cow's stomach recently
in Texas. It seems a little eaten
by the acids of the animal's stomach, but
was a L'ood silver half-dollar. The cow
was alTout ten years old. When, where
or how she came to swallow it is a mystery.
A skye terrier is so called because the
breed was once chiefly raised on the Island

In Canon Diablo, Arizona, a hole 625
feet deep, supposed to have been made
by a meteor, has been found. It is two
and one-eighth miles in circumfrance.
The theory is that from the appearance
of the walls and the fact that they have
found many pieces of meteoric iron
around the hole the meteor peuetrated
the earth to a depth of. 700 or 800 feet
before it exploded, and this accounts for
the strange phenomena. Three piece;
of the meteor, weighing 300, 600 and
850 pounds respectively, were fouud on
the mesa within two miles of the crater.

Nuts and Nutrition.
A good story is told of Dr. Dio Lewis,
who wished to make a marked impression
on the minds of bis boarding school
girls. They teased for nuts at dinner,
and were promised all thnv wanted. The
next day nothing but nuts appeared on
the table. "Now, girls," said Dr. Lewis,
ileat all you want and you will be as well
off as if you had your usual dinner; but
nuts taken after a heavy meal are too
much for the stomach to bear, and surely
bring on indigestion." The Plowman
says: "Scientists have pronounced nuts
an excellent article of diet. In this case
they are not to be eaten as a desert, but
ns the mnin stunlfi of thfi meal. Nnfc
trees beautify a lawn and serve for utility
and ornament at the same time. The
cost of planting and growing i3 small.
The market for nuts is* assured. They
may be called one of the staples of commerce."?New

La Grippe.
On December 19th, I wa9 confined to my
room with the Grippe. The Treasurer of
the "Commercial Advertiser" recommend,
ed that I should try a bottle of "Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral," a9 it had cured him of the
same complaint. I sent for a bottle, and in
two days I was able to resume my business,
and am now entirely cured.
As I took no other remedy, I can but give
all the credit to the "Chefrry Pectoral,"

Not the Merrimae, but the Virginia.
There never was a Confederate ironclad
of any other ironclad named Merrimae.
The Confederate ram was the Virginia
always. She was constructed upon
the hulk of an old United States frigate
called the Merrimae. Why people should
go on calling the Virginia the Merrimae
we cannot see. History and fact?not

Catarrh Can't be Cured
With local applications, as they cannot reaoh
the seat of the disease. Catarrh id a blood or constitutional
disease, and in order to core it you
have to take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally,and acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is no quucK medicine. It was prescribed
bv one ol the r;eat j-bysi c ans in this country
fo" years, and is r regular prescription. It is
composed of tbebesr tonics known, combined
with tbf best blood punlier*, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination
of the two ingredients is what produces
such wonderful results in curing catarrh. Send

x The wrong way,
with Catarrh, is to stop it without
curing it. The poisonous, irritating
snuffs, strong caustic solutions,
"creams," balms and the like may,
perhaps, palliate for a time. .But
they may drive the disease to the
lungs. The wrong way is full of
danger.
The right $ray is a proved one.
It's with Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
It cures, perfectly and permanently,
by its mild, soothing,
cleansing and healing properties,
the worst cases of Chronic Catarrh.
It has proved itself right, thousands
of times, when everything
else has failed.
