"What Has Tour Codfish Eaten t * Mere people know of the virtue of 1 cod liver oil than know in what that virtue consists. It is not that there is any peouliar health-giving qualities about the vital tissues of the codfish any more than in those of any other fish or of land animals. * The virtue of cod liver oil, it is aeclared, depends wholly on the food which the codfish has eaten, and if the cod has not fed on the right food, his liver will not yield oil of any more - benefit to the victim of consumption or anamia than any other fish oil The best cod liver oil is obtained from cod that have fed on kelp, a sea weed that is not found on soft or mnddy bottoms. It is a rook weed and does not grow near the shore on the American coast." Every one knows how much better milk is given by cows that have fed on rioh pasturage than by those whose feed has been Etale hay; and the cod that has l./ed in deep water and feasted on the rioh, juicy and aromatic kelp is altogether a different fish from the one that has lived near shore and eaten clams and mussels, a diet that no self-respecting fish will touch at all when it can have anything else. Thus the oil from cod oaught near the shore is practically worthless,* while that made from deep sea cod is one of the most nourishing and healthgiving of foods. The beat cod liver oil comes from Norway, where all the cod are rockbottom fish and live exclusively on kelp and similar sea weed. ?New York Mail and Express.

Text "They inclosed a pr?at mnltltado of fishes, and their net brake."?Luke v., 6. Simon and hie comrades had experienced the night neiore wnat llsfiermen can "poor luck." Christ steps on board the fishing smack and tc'b the sailors to pull away from the beach and directs them again to sink the net. Sure enough, very soon the net is full of fishes, and the sallots begin to haul in. So large a school of flsh was taken that the hardy men begin to look red in the face ns tb ey'pu 1!. and hardly have they begun to rejoice at their success when snap goes a thread of the net. and snap goes another thread, so there is dancer not only of losing the flsh, but of losing the net. Without much care as to how much the boat tilts or bow much water is splashed on deck, the fishermen rash about gathering up the broken meshes of the net. Out yonder there is a ship dancing on the wave, and they hail it, "Ship ahoy, bear down this way!" The ship comes, and both boats, both fishing smacks, are filled with the floundering treasures. "Ab," says some one, "how much better ' it would have been if they had staid on shore, and fished with a hook and line, and taken one at a time. Instead of having this great excitement.- and the boat almost upset, and the net broken, and having to call for VaIw oofHnv onnnJnr? mot vlf.h thfl UWF? IM*U nv. sea!" The church Is tbe boat, the gospel la the net, society is the sea. And a great revival Is a whole school brought In at one sweep of the net. I have admiration for that man wbo goes oat with * book and line to fish. I admire the way he unwinds the reel and adjusts the bait and drops the hook In a quiet place on a still afternoon, and cere catches one and there .one, but I like also a big boat, and a large crew, and a net a mile long, and swift oars, and stout sails, and a stiff breeze, and a great multitude of goals brought?so great a multitude that you have to get help to draw it ashore?straining: the net to the utmost until It breaks here and there, letting a few escape, f>ut bringing the great multitude into eternal safety. In other words, I believe In revivals. The (Treat work of saving men began with 8000 people joining the church in one day, and It Will close with 40,000,000 or 100.000,000 peo?le saved in 24 hours, when nations ahafl be orn in a dev. But there are objections to revivals. People are' opposed to them because the net might g9t broken, and if by the pressure of souls It doest not get broken, then they'take their own penknives and dttt the net. "They Inclosed a great multitude of fishes, and the net brake." It is sometimes opposed to revivals of religion that those who come into the ohnroh at such times do not hold oat; as loner as there is a gale of blessing they have their sails ap, bat as soon as strong winds stop blowing then they drop into a dead calm. Bat what are the facts in the case? In all oar oharche8 the vast majority of tho useful people are those who are brought in under great awakenings, and they hold oat. Who are the prominent men in the United States in churches, in prayer meetings, in Sabbathschools? For the most part they are the product of great awakenings. I have noticed that those who are brought | into the kingdom of God through revivals have more persistence and more determination In the Christian life than those who come in under a low state of religion. People born In an icehouse may live, but they will never get over the cold they caught la the icehouse 1 A. cannon ball depends upon the impulse with which It starts for how far It shall go and how swiftly, and the greater the revival force with which a soul is started the more farreaching and far resounding will be the execution. Bat it is sometimes objected to revivals lV-4 nvnUomanf t>)Of nOAnla ILIttl UiOlO 19 OV UlllUU UAAiSfcOure*** yvv^?w mistake hysteria for religion. We most admit that in every revival of religion there Is either a. suppressed or a demonstrated excitement. Indeed if a man can go out of a state of condemnation into a state of acceptance with God, or see others go, without anv agitation of son), he is in an unhealthy, morbid state, and is as repulsive and absurd, as a man who should boast he saw a child snatched oat Irom under a horse's hoofs and felt no agitation, or saw a man rescued from the fourth story of a house on fire and felt no aooeleratlon of tne pulses. Salvation from sin and death and hell Into life and peace and heaven forever Is such a tremendous thing that if a man tells me he can look on it without any agitation I doubt his Christianity. The fact Is that sometimes excitement Is the most important possible thing. In case of resuscitation from drowning or freezing, the one idea ts to excite animation. Before conversion we are dead. It is the business of the church to revive, arouse, awaken, resuscitate, startle Into liie. Excitement is bad or good according to what it makes us do. If it makes us do that which is bad, it is bad excitement, but if it make us agitated about our eternal welfare, if It make us pray, if it make us attend upon Christian service, if it make us cry unto God for mercy, then it Is a good excitement. It is sometimes said that daring revivals Of religion great maltitndes ol children and young people are brought into the ohurch, and they do not know what they are about. It has been my observation that the earlier people come Into the kingdom ol God the more useful they ore. ! ' Robert Hall, the prince of Baptist preachers, was converted at twelve years of age. It is supposed he knew what he was about. Matthew Henry, the commentator, who did more than any man ot bis century lor increasing the interest in the study ot the Scriptures, was converted at eleven years of age; Isabella Graham, Immortal in the Christian church, was converted at tea years of age; Dr. Watts, whose hymns will be sung all down the ages, was converted at nine years of age; Jonathan Edwards, perhaps the mightiest intellect that the American pulpit ever produced, was converted at seven years ot age. and that father and mother take an awful responsibility when they tell their child at seven years of age, "You are too young to be a Christian," or "Yon are too voung to connect yourself with the church." That 1b a mistake as long as eternity. If during a revival two persons present themselves as candidates for the ohuroh,ond the one Is ten years of age, and the other Is forty years of age. I will have more confidence in the profession of religion of the one ten years of age than the one forty years of age. Why? The one who professes at forty years of a?e has forty years of Impulse in the wrong direction to correct, the ohlld has only ten years In the wrong direction to correct. Four times ten are forty. Pour times the religions prospect for the lad that comes Into the kingdom of God, and Into the church at ten years of age than the man at forty. I am verv apt to look upon revivals as connected with certain men who foster them. People who In this day do not like revivals, nevertheless, have not words to express their admiration for the revivalists of the past, for they were revivalists?Jonathan Edwards, John Wesley, George Whltefleld, Grlffln; Davles, Osborn, Knapp, Nettleton and many others whose names come to my mind. The strength of their intellect nnd the holiness of their lives make me think they would not have anything to do with that which was ephemeral. Oh, It Js easy to tait agamst revivals. Do you know where Aaron Burr started on the downward road? It was when he was In college, and he became anxious about his son! and was about to put himselt under the influence of a revival, and a minister ot religion said: "Don't go there. Aaron; don't go there; that's a place of wildflre and great excitement; no religion about that; don't go there." He tarried away. His serious Impression* departed. He started on the downward road. And who Is responsible for his ruin? Was it the minister who warned him against that revival? Now I come to the real, genuine cause of objection to revivals. That is the coldness of the objector. It is the secret and hidden but unmistakable cause in every case?a low state of religion in the heart. Wide awake, consecrated, useful Christians are never afraid of revivals. It is the spiritually dead who are afraid of having tneir sepulcher molested. The chief agents of the devil during a great awakening are always unconverted professors of religion. As soon as Christ's work begins they bearin to gossip against it, and take a pall of water and try to put out this spark of religious Influence, and they try to put out another spark. Do ' ";y: \ they succeed? As well when Chicago was on fire might some one have gone ont with a garden water pot trying to extinguish it. The dllSoulty is that when a revival begins in a church it begins at so many points that while you have doused one anxious soul with a pail of cold water there are 500 other anxlons souls on Are. Oh, how much better it would be to lay hold of the chariot of Onrist'a gospel and help pull it on rather than to fling ourselves in front of the wheels, trying to block their progress! We will not stop the chariot, but we ourselves will be ground to powder. Did you ever hear that there wa3 a oonfention once held among the icebergs in the arctio? It seems that the summer was coming on, and the sun was getting hotter and hotter, and there W03 danger that the whole icefield would break up and flow away, so the tallest and the coldest and the broadest of all the ioebergs, the very king of the arctics, stood at the head of the convention, and with a gavel of ice smote on a table of' loe, calling the convention to order, jsui tne sun kept growing In Intensity of heat, and the south wind blew stronger and stronger, and soon all the icefield began to grind up, Iceberg against Iceberg, and to flow away. The first resolution passed by the convention was, "Resolved, that we abolish the sun." But the sun would not bo abolished. The heat ot the sun grew greater and greater until after awhile the very king of the icebergs began to perspire under the glow, and the smaller icebergs fell over, and the cry was: "Too mucin excitement! Order, order P' Then the whole body, the whole field, of Ice began to flow out. and a thousand voices began to ask: "Where are we going to now? Wherd are we floating to? Wo will all break to pieces." By this time the icebergs had- reaobed the gulf stream, and they were melted into the bosom of the Atlantic Ooean. The warm sun is the eternal Spirit. The ioebergs are frigid Christians. The warm gulf stream is a great Th? onean into which everything melted is the great, wide heart of the pardoning and sympathizing God. Bat I think, after all, the greatest obstacle to revivals throughout Christendom to-day is an unconverted ministry. We must believe that the vast majority of those who: officiate at sacred altars are regenerated, but I suppose there may float into the ministry of all' the denominations of Christians' men whose hearts have never been changed by the grace of God. Of course they are all antagonistic to revivals. How did thev get into the ministry? Perhaps some of them chose it as a respectable profession. Perhaps some chose It as a neans of livelihood. Perhaps some of tnem , ivere sincere, but were mistaken. As Thomas, Dhalmers said, he bad been many years1 oreaoblng the gospel before his heart'had been changed, ana. as many ministers of the gospel declare, tneywere preaching and bad been ordained to sacred orders years and years before their hearts were regenerated . Gracious God, what a solemn thought for those of us who minister at the altar 1 With the present ministry in the present temperature of pietv the world will never be enveloped with revivals. While the pews on one side the altar ory for meroy the pulpits on the other side the altar must cry for mercy. Ministers quarreling. Ministers trying to Dull each other down. Ministers jtiraggllng for eoleslastical place. Ministers lethargic with whole congregations dying on their band. What a spectacle! Aroused pulpits will make aroused news. Pulpits aflame will make pews aflame. Everybody believes in a revival of trade, everybody likes a revival In literature,everybody likes a revival in art^yet a great multitude cannot understand a revival in matters of religion. Depend upon it. where you find a man antagonistic to revivals, wamaer be be in pulpit or pew, he needs to be regenerated by the graoe of God. I could prove to a demonstration that without revivals this world will nevar be oonverted, and that In 400 or 200 years without revivals Christianity will be practlcnl'.y extinct It Is a matter of astounding,arithmetic. In each of our modern generations there are at least 33,000,000 children. Now add 32,000,000 to the world's population, and then have only 100,000 or 200,000 oonverted every year, and how long before the world will be saved? Never?absolutely never * During our war the President of th? United States made proclamation for 75,000 troops. Some of yon remember the big stir. But the King of the universe to-day asks for 800,000,000 more troops than are enlisted, and we want it done softly, imperceptibly, gently, no excitement, one by one! You are a dry goods merchant on a large scale, and I api a merchant on a small scale, and I come to you and want'to buy 1000 yards of cloth. Do you say: "Thank you; I'll sell you 1000 yards of cloth, but I'll sell you twenty yards to-day, and twenty tomorrow, and twenty the next day, and if it takes me six months I'll sell you the whole 1000 yards; you will want as long as that to examine the goods; and I'll want as long as that to examine the credit, and, besides that. 1000 yards of cloth are too much to sell all at once?" No, you do not say that. You take me Into the oountlng ro )m, and in ten minutes the whole transaction is consummated. The fact is, we cannot afford to be fools In anything but religion! That very merchant who on Saturday afternoon sold me the 1000 yards of cloth at one stroke the next Sabbath in church will stroke his beard and wonder whether it would not be better for 1000 souls to come Btraggllng along for ten years, Instead of boltine in at one service. We talk a eood deal about the good times that are coming and about the world's redemption. How long before they will come? There in a man who says BOO years. Here 1b a man who says 200 years. Here Is some one more confident who says In fifty years. What, fifty years? Do yon propose to let two generations pass oft the stage before the world is converted? Suppose Dy some extra prolongation of human life at the next fifty years you should walk around the world, you would not in all that walk find one person that you recognize. Why? All dead or so ohanged that you would not know them. In other words, if you postpone the redemption of this world for fifty years, you admit that the majority of the two wnolo generations shall go off the stage unblessed and unsaved. I tell you the churoh of Jesus Christ cannot consent to it. We must pray and toil and have the revival spirit, and we must straggle to have the whole world saved before the men and women now in middle life pas3 off. "Oh," you say, '*it is too vast an enterErise to be conducted in so short a time." 10 you know how long it would take to save the whole world ii each man would bring another. It would take ten years. By a calculation in compound interest, each man bringing another, and that one another, and that one another, in ten years the whole world would be saved. If the world is not saved in the next ten years it will be the tVia nKnwth a? PhHat Is it too much to expect each one to bring one? Some of us must bring more than one, for some wlli not do their duty. I want to bring 10,000 souls. I should be ashamed to meet my God in judgment if, with all my opportunities of commending Christ to the people, I could not bring 10,000 souls. But it will all depend upon the revival spirit. The hook and line fishing will not do it. It seems to me as if God is preparing the world for some quicK and universal movement. A celebrated electrician (rave me a telegraph chart of the world. On that chart the wires crossing the continent and the cables under the sea looked like veins red with blood. On that chart I see that the headquarters of the lightnings are in Great Britain and the United States. In London and New York the lightnings are stabled, waiting to 'oe harnessed for some quick disEatch. That shows you that the telegraph i in possession of Christianity. It is a significant fact that the man who invented the telegraph was an old fashioned Christian?Professor Morse?and that the man who put the telegraph under the sea was an old fashioned Christian?Cyrus W. Field?and that the president of the most famous of the telesrraph companies of this country was an old fashioned Christian? William Orton?going froTi the communion table on earth straight to nls horns in heavea. What does all that mean ! I do not suppose that the telegraph wa* invented merely to let us know whether flour is ud or down, or which Ally won the race at the Derby, or which marksman b^at at Dollymount. I suppose the telegraph was invented and built to call the world to God. In some of the attributes of the Lord we seem to share on a small scale?for instance, in His love and in His kindness. Eat until of late foreknowledge, omniscience, omnispresence. omnipotence, seem to have been exclusively God's possession. God desiring to make the race like Himself, gives us a species of foreknowledge in the weather probabilities, gives us a species of omniscience in telegraphy, gives U3 a spocies of omnipresence in thStelephone, gives us a spscies of omnipotence in the steiyn power. Discoveries and inventions all around about as, people are asking what next! 1IV sv <1 r' r .: ? I will tell you what next. Next, a stupendous religious movement. Next, the end of war. Next, the crash of despotisms. Next, the world's expnrcratlon. Next, the Christlike dominion. Next, the judgment. What becomes of the world after that I oare not. It will have suffered and achieved anough for one world. Lay it up in the Irydocka of eternity, like an old man-of-war ?one out of service, or fit it up like a ship Df relief to carry bread to some other suffering planet, or let it be demolished. Fareveil, dear old world, that began with Saradise and ended with judgment conaeration ! One summer I stood on the Isle of Wight, ana i naa pointed out to me cae puvso wuaro the Earydice sank with 200 or 300 young men who were in training for the British aavy. Ton remember when the training ship went down there was a thrill of horror all over the world. Ob, my friends, this world is only a training ship. On it we are training for heaven. The old ship sails up and down the ocean of immensity, now through the dark wave of the midnight, now through the golden crested wave of the morn, but sails on and sails od. After awhile her work will bo done, and the inhabitants of heaven will look out and find & world missing. The cry will be: ''Where is that earth where Christ died and the human race were emancipated? Send out Beets of angels to find the missing erait." Let them sail up and down, cruise up and down the ocean of eternity, and they will catoh not one glimpse of her mountain masts or her top gallants of floating cloud. Gone down! The training ship of a world perished in the last tornado.

OATES, DEMOOEAT, ANDKOLB, POPULIST, TAKE THE OATE William C. Oates, the Candidate ol the Democracy, Inaugurated Res uiany?uaptaln KoiD, His Uddonent, Sworn la by a Notary Public?The Militia Present. The State of Alabama, for the first time in its history, has two Governors and two separate sets of State officers. Governor Oates and those elocted oa the Demoorattc ticket preside at the State House. Captain Kolb, the Populist, and his Cabinet have not announced their official quarters. The returns of the Au^rust election had shown the election of the Democratic 8tate ticker, headed by Colonel William C. Oates, by 27,000 majority. The Legislature, in joint session, had regularly counted and announced the result. Captain Kolb, Oates's opponent, the nominee of the Populists, chiirged irnud and claimed that he nad received a majority of the votes cast and was the rightful Governor-elect. He determined, therefore, to be sworn in, and was. WILLIAM C. 0ATE8. At noon, surrounded by m&mbers of the Legislature, and with the usual military dls> play, Colonel Oates took the oath of office upon the steps of the State Capitol. Numerous threats nad been made by friends of Kolb, and, to avoid any possibility of anything like violence, more than twenty companies of State troops, with loaded cartridges in their belts, were present and participated In tha (nmimnHnn MnmnnlM Th?

Immediately thereafter the company marcbod together on foot to tne Capitol, nearly a mile away, the programme being that an Inaugural address from Its steps should be made, as is the custom. Arriving there they found every entrance to the Capitol grounds lined with troops. The party went np the front walk through the open ranks and drew up near the right end of the big stone steps. Without delay a detachment of troops wo* placed between them and the steps. Realizing that this was equivalent to notice that the address would not be tolerated from the Capitol steps, Captain Kolb and W. S. Beese, the Attorney-General on his ticket, sought Governor Jones to ascertain if, they had correctly interpreted the situation. Governor Jones politely assured them that they had The Kolbites then withdrew to the street In front of Capitol square, and there the Inauguration speech was heard. When Kolb had finished Dr. Crowe, the 'Perry County fire eater," took the stand. He advised peace, and In the same breath announced that he desired all Kolb's friends ta meet him for the Duroose ot organizing a body of volunteers, as" he expressed It,'to "back our Governor, Kolb." The announcement was received with cheering. Dr. Crowe then declared the Democrats of Alabama ballot box thieves and soonndrels, and the Kolb Inauguration was over. Itisevidentthata serious breach has occurred in the Populists' ranks over Kolb's Inauguration. He consulted few of the leaders o? his Darty before announcing bis determination to be sworn in, and they f6el that it is not their fight. Not one-tenth of the Populist members of the Legislature lent their presence to his inauguration o' listened to bis address. Most of them ao* knowledge they do not favor the inauguration (Scheme. Kolb determined to send a message to the Legislature insisting that they pass a fair election contest law. He will also give certificates of election to the four or five contestees lor seats In Congress from Alabama State, hoping that the Republican majority tbnre will scat the contestants, and thereby recognize his crodentlals. FATAL LANDSLIDE. Two Acres of Tacoma Slide Into Paget Sound. Shortly after 11 o'olock p. m. forty-five feet of the south end of the Paget Bound warehouse of the Northern Paciflo P?alIroad on the water front at Tacoma, Wash., including the office of the road, che cattle sheds and the pump house tor hydraulic work of filling in tide lands, sank into the bay. Just what caused the disaster is a mystery wnioh no one has as yet explained. John Hansen. a watchman, was in the pump house, e::d he was drowned. Close by to the south was the boat house of H B. Alger, built partly on made land and partly on piles. Thk turned completely over. A family of six persons were asleep in the boat house at the time. All were rescued except a fifteen-year-old girl named Emma Stubbs, who is missing. At an early hour the land seemed to be\ still slowly slipping into the bay. What appeared to be a tidul wave was observed by Sergeant Harris at Old Town, more than a mile away. Several ships parted their cables, but were secured before sustaining any damage. The strip of land which slid into the bay was from 250 to 300 yards long and from sixty to seventy feet wide. Thn cave-in of the Northern Paciflo Rail way's wator front property is found later to be "much more disastrous and attended with more loss of life than was at flrst supposed. The length of the strip which caved in is about 1400 feet, and tne damage done oxtends back in places 100 feet. Many of the boats served as sleeping apartments for their owners, and for tnls reason It was thought several lives had been lost besides those of Hanson, the watohman, and Emma Stubbs, fifteen years old, the stepdaughter of H. B. Alger. The damage to property will be ovar $50,000. Much freight was standing on the wharves and stored in tse wnrenouses whloh collapsed. Intne Northern Pacific freight office which went down was a suie containing 814,000. The bodies of Watcoman John Hansen and Emma Stubbs have been recovered. The harbor is strewn witn wreckage. Three thousand cases Oi canned salmon and thirty bails of grain sacks are all the freight that want down. A iout two acres of land have slid into toe-Souu... [CAPTURED OUR FORT.

"We were jogging along gently through the sand of the Sahara, bound for the blaok tents of El Hadj Ahmed Abd el Kader ben el Hadj Mohammed. This is a long name; but then we were a long time getting there, and my memory needed exercise. Far away behind us stretohed the ragged ridge of the Atlas; ahead of us nothing but a gray blanket of sand waving away into an infinity of shiny mist. I had seen the same sort of thing in Colorado., Remington said it was Arizona all over again. People grow silent and sensitive when they live on the great plains, and no wonder. To the desert-dweller every star gainu in significance, every object that lifts its head above the horizon.

He must have water and grass; he must have shelter from storms; he must avoid dangerous gullies; must watch for signs of wild beasts; must anticipate the ambush of an enemy?and with it all use heaven as his guide, with its sun by day and stars by night. The traveler of the desert plains is never without occupation; his eyes are sweeping the horizon without interruption, and he picks his way by the help of a judgment constantly exercised?for the Arab knows no roads whioh are not unmade by one puff of sand. It was little that we saw in the shape of humanity?a camel train now and then bearing dates and wool from the interior, the camels swinging along with irritating regularity, feeding as they moved, and treading gently, as thoagh on rotten ground. The drivers eyed us malevolently, and I telt comiort in reflecting that Franoe supported 50,000 soldiezs in Algeria for the express purpose of making our journey safe. The caravans were escorted by Arab horsemen in white burnooses, perched high upon tough and springy mustangs.
