North from this is an interesting series of homes of vsrioup American Indians. The palm-thatched hut of the Arawaks of Guiana; the long house of the* Iroquois, constructed of bark, and divided into six spaces within, one for each of the Six Na> tiou6; the birch-bark tent of the Pcnobscot Indians of MaiDe; the ekin/ nvprfid tenee of the plains tribe; the dome-shaped framework of pol^s, covered with rush matting, of the Algonkine; the plank-covered houses of the Kwakiool of Vancouver Island, and the Haidah of Queen Charlotte Islands with their symbolical paintings and totem posts; these range along the edge of the lagoon on whose waters float various canoes and boats of the natives. These houses have been built from proper materials by the Indians themselves, and most of them are inhabited by families of Indians, some of whom carry on their native arts and industries. Very interesting in this connection will be the series of dances of the Kwakiools, for which Doctor Boas has arranged, which will take place at intervals through the season. ?Popular Science Monthly.

But I fell in lately with disciple in a blaze. Sure enough he was a on fire! There was little or no smoke. ] was loo hot for that. I looked about fc some Nero who had done this, but 1 did n< see any. It was a very sad sight. I do not kno1 how long the lire had been burning, when saw him; hut 1 was afraid it had been son time, or else it had burned with great flerei ness, for there was never more decisive an painful marks of fire on a human being. H had been very handsomely dressed, up 1 the time ho took lire. But when I sa him, the beautiful robe of charity Wfl burned to a cinder. It had teen tli "bend of perfectness.'1 bnt was all i ashes when I saw it. A very valuable girdl called truth, was shockingly scorched. An you con judged the severity of the heat, whe F affirm that a breast-plate of righteousnesi which he had worn, was melted down, and hn totally disappeared. He had before been "sho witt the preparation of the Gospel of peace, and capital shoes they are, whioh are made< that article; but these were all crisped by tl: fire. You would not suppose that anythin like peace had ever had anything to do wit them. And I could not but "notice too that tl shield of faith I had often seen him have, wf pretty much reduced to a nonentity. It in: been given "to quench the fiery darts of tl wicked," which made it more painful to see perish in the flames, and the "helmetof sal vation"' had grown brittle in the heat, ar was shivered; and the -'sword of the Spirit sba.-edjthe same fate. In short, there wi nothing left of that comely array, in whicl as "a strong man armed,'' he was wont 1 move in the various scenes of the coinmunit The fire had madesueh havoc, that there wi scarc ely aoy appearance of a man about hin certainly very little likeness to a Christis man. 1 did think, on close inspection, thi there was some faint outlines of such a lik ness. I did not quite like to gh up that there were none. The actiye use of an engine famous for pu ting out fires of this kind called the "live oracles" soon subdued the flames. The di cipie had not suffered much up to this poin for the heat had very much blunted his sei sibilities; but as he now began to look abo> him. and especially upon himself, and begf to see in what a blaze he had been and wh little there was left of hisgoodly apparel,th< did sensibility return, and it was clear thi ,vr +Vu? tinnit ami most tender nerves ' his moral nature had felt the violence of tl fire; and he wept bitterly. Inquiring about the matter, I learned th he had aforetime carried a large quantity explosive powder about him called Passio but he had not obeyed the great Captain's o der to pitch the whole of it overboard, ai there was enough for a stray spark to fi upon and do mischief. Such a spark can that way. hence the blaze above descrilted. I could not but think of the contract th disciple in a blaze made with some others bad read of. The Apostle Paul took fire whi on a journevto Damascus, and when net that city. The people tried to put the 11 out. The Scribes ran with their buckets, ar the Pharisees turned out with all their e gines: the Romans and the Greeks did tht best to put out the love and zeal that was co sumitg him. And Satan himself took tl lead of the whole, and most skillfully ai fiercely eat every species of agency at wor but the blazing Apostle totbeiriuflniteshac and discomfort kept on blazing. And I was deeply interested to learn th Faiii's apparel .instead of being scorched or d stroycd by the blaze, as in the case of the di ciple above, only become the more come and beautiful. I have heard of garment made of the fibres of a stone called asbestc which are cleansed by Are. Paul's must ha been like those. And it was noticed that tl ' "? t a ; JOURer liJB nr? numru??uu ? ><<*--i ngn more tfcan thirty years?the more did he. wl was on fire show himself, not a heap blackened ruins, but a beautiful temple, eoi pact by that which every joint supplietb. tl wonder and joy of all the saints. The fii men of those days thought they should p out the fire by killing him: but his sun we dcwn in a blaze of glory, and shines sti and will forever, as the brightness of t! firmament. Satan, as we have seen, tried to put o Faul when he got on lire. He had no obje tion to a man's being in a blaze, provided i may determine the kind of fire. Paul's fl did not suit him. So he hastened to put hi out. The disciple's Are noticed above suit hiro, and he did his best to increase the fn and the fierceness of the blaze. So that Sat) puts out fire or puts it up to greater intensi according to its character. He would exti guish every spark of the holy love there is the universe, if he could.

Romans iii., 19-26 ? Golden Text: Romans ill., 24?Commentary. sv V T ie 19. "Now we know wlmt things soever tbo j. law aaith, it saith to them who are under the ,1 law ; that every mouth may be stopped, and [u all the world may become guilty before :0 God." He has been proving both Jews and vv Gentiles all under sin, and that there is none lS righteous (verses 9, 10). But what about the ie law that is holy and just and good (chapter n vii., 12), and those who conscientiously try P to keep it like Paul himself, who said that (j as touching the righteousness of the law ht ,D considered himself blameless (Phil, ill,, C). K This verse in our lesson says the law is to stop man's mouth and prove every one <] guilty, for until we are ready to plead guilty ? before God there is no hope of our redemption. In Math, v., 28, Je9U3 teaches that u 10 sinful look breaks the seventh commandlf? ment, and in I John iii.. 15, we learn that h hatred breaks the sixth, while in Jas. ii., 10, we find that ''whosoever shall" keep the jg whole law and yet offend in one point is ,(1 guilty of all. [e 20. "Therefore by the deeds of the law it there shall no flesh be justified in His sight, [. for by the law is the knowledge of sin." [(j David recognized this when he said, "In ? Thy sight shall no man living be justified" js (Ps. csliii., 2). The law, although so holy, j cannot give life because of man's sinfulness to or weakness ot his flesh (Gal. iii., 21 , Rom. ? viii., 3.) Only one Man ever kept the law perfectly. He came to fulfill the law and the j. prophets, even to fulfill all righteousness (Math, v., 17 ; iii,, 15). In Him i6 no sin ; He at knew no sin ; He did not sin (I'John iii.,'5 , II Cor. v., 21: I Peter ii., 22), He could truthfully say. "I delight to do Thy will, O my God?yea, Thy law is within my heart" (Ps. xl., 8). He was and is "the righteously ness of God." All our efforts to keep the law, seeking thus to obtain righteousness, are like Adam and Eve's fig leaf aprons, which had to be laid aside and give place to ut the coats ol skins of God's own providing. in Our righteousnesses are as filthy rags (Isa, at lxiv.,6). ,n 21. "But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being wit0f nessed by the law and the prophets." To Him 10 give all the prophets witness that through His name whosoever believeth in Him shall at receive remission of sins (Actsx., 43). Paul 0f in all his preaching said none other things n than those which the prophets and Moses did ' say should come (Acts xx vi., 22). Jesus be1(1 gain at Moses and all the prophets and ex,11 pounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself (Luke xxiv., 27). Righteousness is the great j. essential. God demands it. and He has a t right to. He says the unrighteous shall not i inherit the kingdom of God, and that unless , we have something better than that of the scribes and pharisees we can in no case enter d into the kingdom of heaven (I Cor. vi., 9; Math, v., 20). But what God demands He also provides?if a wedding garment is necr' essnry, then wedding garments are provided * (Math. xxii.. 11, 12). Does He demand i(, | righteousness;1 Then He provides righteous ness as Ireely as ?ie proviaea me ciotning ior ' Adam and Eve (Gen. iii., 21). 22. "Even the righteousness of God, which . is by faith of Jesus Christ, unto all, and upon ? all them that believ/j." God hath made Him : J to be sin for us who knew no sin, that we ;j" might be made the righteousness of God in ! y Him. He is made unto us righteousness (II Cor. v.,21; I Cor. i., 80). By Him all that f' believe are justified from all things from ^ which we could not be justified by the lawof , Moses (Acts xiii., 39). Therefore the soul that truly receives Him can say, "I will a<? greatly rejoice in Ac Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God, for He haih clotned me with n* I i he garments of salvation. He hath covered me with the robe of righteousness" (I?u Ixi., ** 10). But how man}' are going about to esUJ taolish their own righteousness, either wholly ignorant ot or utterly despising the . ' glorious righteousness provided lor them in lie Ohri9t Jesus, who isthe end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth ut (Rom. x., 3,4). 23. "For there is no difference, for all k* have sinned and come short of the glory of rtl God." In Adam all die (I Cor. xv.. 22). n' There is not a just man upon earth that ec| doetn good and sinnetb not (Ecel. vii., 20), ie' or as in verse 10 ot this chapter: "There is 1D none righteous. No, not one." Such is the description of all men by nature, and while ? , all are not equally great sinuers all are. with*D out exception, sinners. Since Adam was driven out of para-lise till have been born outside the garden ; tbere is no difference. When '** Noah was shut in the ark, all the rest except those with him were shut out and perished ; 0 there was no difference. Pr 24.

"Whom Cod hath set forth to be a it.' propitiation through faith in His blood, to ? declare His righteousness for the remission ol of sins that are past, through the forbearance ot God." The word here translated ae ' propitiation" is found only elsewhere in ip Heb. is., 5, where it is translated "mercy w, seat." In each of these verses in the li.

Air Castic for the Antwerp Exhibition ol 1894. Sinoe the invention of the Eiffel Tower and Chicago's great Ferris Wheel, every man manufacturing a World's Fair deems it necessary to endow it with some sky-piercing structnre transcending and eclipsing any previous effort. The wonder herewith depicted is the result of the profound study of Belgian engineers, and is destined to adorn the Antwerp Exhibition. it* AIR CASTLE FOR TFC ANTWERP EXHIBITION. Tobiensky, the engineer, has imagined u gigantic captivo balloon, composed of two hemispheres and three cylindrical compartments of triple China silk. Its volume will be 74,079 jubic metres and its dimensions 9311 square metres. The weight, including the cf.stle in the air and its accessories, with that of 150persons, will De3?>,U2U kilogrammes, or about sixteen tons. The balloon will be anchored by i'our great vertical cables. Two balloon elevators, capable of carrying ten to fifteen persons, conncct the castlc with the ground. This elevated platform and-edifice is to be built of steel and bamboo tubing, covered with China silk and sheet iron. According to the strength of the wind, it can rise to a height of from 600 to 1500 feet. The platform is ninety feet long, with a surface of U00 sqnure feet. It can be lowered to the gronnd in thirty minutes. Thousands of electric lights will gayly scintillate from the balloon, as it hovers in the clouds by night, and by day hundreds of mile6 of the flat Belgian country will be visible. An Antwerp newspaper expresses a hope that other air castles may thus finally reach a point where they leave the world of fancy to enter that of accomplished facts. The Latest in Sleeves. The latest in sleeves are those which illuminate and vivify a fin de siecle gown of my recent acquaintance. Here the skirt sacrifices that perfect plainness which i6 now a distinction for the doubtful compensation of three rows of embroidered trimming. The mystic three rows appear agaiu on the bust and the belt and on the collar are wider strips of the same design. But the sleeves with their pinked flounces are the head and front of oflending. In their shadow?may it soon be lees? one reads portents of the future. Jz is an autumn of flounce, furbelow, frill, flutter, frou-frou. The dresa of fifty-two flounces, whose fame I was first to trumpet forth, is, perhaps, an extreme. The dress of six or twentyone's sister will wear according as her patience and her purse hold out. Yet it will be a forgiving fashion, with scope for variety. The plaiu skirt will light for its life and smaller sleeves will almost certainly win their skirmish for recognition unnoticed in the crush of mightier matters.?Chicago Herald. The Amiience Was Saved. During the performance of a play to ii crowded theatre at Bielln, Italy, one of the players behind the scenes thought he saw tiny threads of smoke curling up from the floor of the stage. He called the stage manager's attention to it. who, on investigation, found that under the stage the placo was on iire. The manager kept hie self-control and returned to the stage, where one of the chief actors was about to appear. The manager wln'snered the situation to the actor, and nuked the latter to feigu sickness when lie went out to act his part, and thus give iui excuse for stopping iho performance. The actor did as suggested. Ho went on the boards immediately and pretended to reel and then fell. The audience rose in .sympathy, and the stage manager, rushing forward hurriedly, said that owing to the serious illness of the singer, the performance would have to elose that night. The doors were promptly thrown open, aud the audience was hurried out. Just as the last of the audience was leaving the flames began to burst through the stage, and, looking back, the people saw the real cause of theii dismissal. The theatre was destroyed, but uo livee were lost.?New York Dispatch. ^ HOUSEHOLD MATTERS. HOT ALUM KILLS INSECTS. Insects may be destroyed with ho' alum.

Highest of ali in Leavening Powe PrJVs\l ABSOLUT i ? Alaska Fish. > In this modern day of Government b schools, ready-made clothing, and 1 two-dollare-a-day wages, almost the 3 only picturesqueness left to native life is during the salmon runs. Families and tribes betake themselves to their hereditary fishing grounds to catch r and dry their salmon for winter use, j and isolated summer camps break the . forested shore-line with fine effect. t A row of black canoes on the bench, a k cluster of bark or matted tent?, with } frames of drying salmon overhanging j the camp-fires, are set between some ( clear still green water foreground and I an abrupt screen of greenest menzie > or merton spruces. The racks offish give touches of high color to the I I scene, as the further north they are j caught the redder the Pacific salmon i are: and in Lvnn Canal some of these I camps look as if decorated with red j bunting. All is salmon that comes to the Tingit, and he makes no distinc' tion between Icing, red, silver, lmmpc back, or dog salmon, rather preferring, on the whole, the coarsc, rank flesh i of ths last, Avhich no white man wants; hence he rages at the cannery's waste ' and the destruction of his chief food supply. Since the corrupting touch . of trade lias even reached their salmon streams, the natives now make per[ manent summer villages beside the , canneries. The men work for the company, and the women and children i do a little indejjendent fishing, but . more regularly follow the cannery scows and fill their canoes with rejected salmon, ati cannors use only . about a third of all fish seized. Thus, 3 in midsummer, Alaska villages are as j empty of their first families as any j Eastern city, and the tourists sec closed houses, aud not a third of the regular inhabitants. Census enumerators work zealously, but vainly, in attempting^ count the natives when 1 they are scattered in remotest nooks 3 all over the archipelago, half of them paddling their canoes from one place to another, and as likely to be counted [ twice as not at all during the summer. The whito man's fisheries are more prosaic, less fragrant, and never ' picturesque in themselves. One finds the canneries in the furthest nooks | and niches of the archipelago, each with a finer landscape setting than the 5 last. There ifi always a mountain s background and a clear lirawling stream coming from the dense forest. 'm ?Harper's "Weekly.

A curious industry is carried on in the southern part of the State?the mining for cedar. Some of these noble trees exhumed from their swampy burial exceed three feet in diameter, with the timber perfectly sound. Tho "lay" of these uprooted trees indicates the devastation, probably, of extraordinary cyclones, occurring at immense intervals of time, thus leveling one forest upon another that had bees thrown down long before. The cedara . . growing there to-day send their roota among their long-buried ancestors The tings upon tho exhumed trcca; show a growth of 1590, or possibly 2000 years, and tho existence of at least two buried forests below the present growth is indisputable.?
