WOMEN MUST SLEEP. Avoid Nervous Prostration. If you are dangerously sick what is the first duty of your physician ? He quiets the nervous system, he deadens the pain, and you sleep well. Friends ask, "what is the cause?" and the answer comes in pitying tones, nervous prostration. It came upon you so quietly in the beginning, that you were not alarmed, and when sleep deserted you night after night until your eyes fairly burned in the darkness, then you tossed in nervous Bgony praying for sleep.

What the Saving of All the Nations Cost the Messiah ? Paying For the Clearance of Our Souls. [CopyriKbt 19G1.1 Washington, D. C.?In this discourse Dr. Talmajre shows the Messianic sacrifices for the saving of all nations and speaks of Gethsemanc as it appeared to him: text, I Corinthians vi, 20, "Ye are bouaht with a price." ! Your friend takes you through his valuable house. You examine the arches, the frescocs, the grass plots, the fish ponds, the conservatories, the Darks of deer, and you say within yourself or you say aloud. "What did all this cost?" You see a costly diamond flashing in an earring, or you hear a costly dress rustling across the drawing room, or you see a hieh mettled span of horses harnessed with silver and gold, and vou begin to make an estimate of the value. The man who owns a large estate cannot instantly tell you all it is worth. He says, "I will estimate so much for the house, so much for the furniture, so much ** * .? ' l r ror laying out tne grounas, so mucn ivi the stock, so much for the barn, so much for the equipage?adding up in all making this aggregate. Well, my friends, I hear so much about our mansion in heaven, about its furniture and the grand surroundings, that I want to know how much it is all worth and what has actually been paid for it. I cannot complete in a month or a year the magnificent calculation, but before I get through to-day I hope to give you the figures. "Ye are bought with a price." With some friends I went to the Tower of London to look at the crown jewels. We walked around, caught one glimpse of them, and, being in the procession, were compelled to pass out. I wish that I could take this audience into the tower of God's mercy and strength, that you might walk around iust once at least and see the crown jewels of eternity, behold their brilliance and estimate their vr.lue. "Ye are bought with a price." Now, if you have a large amount of money to pay, you do not pav it all at once, but you pay it by installments?so much the first of January, so much the first of April, so much the first of July, so much the first of October?until the entire amount is paid, and I have to tell this audience that 'you have been bought with a price" and that that price was paid in different installments. The first installment paid for the clearance of our souls was the ignominious birth of Christ in Bethlehem. Though we may never be carefully looked after afterward, our advent into the world is carefully guarded. We come into the world amirJ IrinHK* attentions. Privacv and silence are afforded when God launches an immortal soul into the world. Even the roughest of men know enough to stand back. But I have to tell you that in the village on the side of'the hill there was a very bedlam of uproar when Jesus was born. In a village capable of accommodating only a few hundred people many thousand people were crowded, and amid hostlers and muleteers and camel drivers veiling at stupid beasts of burden the Messiah appeared. No silence. No privacy. A better adaoted place hath the eaglet in the eyrie, hath the whelp in the lions' lair. The exile of heaven lieth down upon straw. The first night out from the palace of heaven spent in an outhouse! One hour after laying aside the robes of heaven, dressed in a wrapper of coarse linen. One would have supposed that Christ would have made a more gradual descent, coming from heaven first to a half way world of great magnitude, then to Caesar's Dalace, then to a merchant's castle in Galilee, then to a private home in Bethany, then to a fisherman's hut and last of all to a stable. No: it was one leap from the top to the bottom. Let usjspen the door of the caravan sary m fjetnienem ana arive away xne camels. Press on through the eroup of idlers and loungers. What1. 0 Mary! No light? "No light," she says, "save that which comes in throueh the door." What, Mary, no food? "None," she says, "only that which was brought in the sack on the journey." Let the Bethlehem woman who has come in here with kindly attentions put back the covering from the Babe that we may look upon it. Look! Look! Uncover your head. Let us kneel. Let all voices be hushed. Son of Marv! Son of God! Child of a day! Monarch of eternity! In that eye the glance of a God. Omnipotence sheathed in that Babe's arm. That voice to be changed from the feeble plaint to the tone that 6hall wake the dead. Hosanna! Hosanna! Glory be to God that Jesus came from throne to manger, that we might rise from manger to throne and that all the gates are open and that the door of heaven, that once swung this way to let Jesus out, now swings the other way to let us in. Let all the bellmen of heaven lay hold the rone and ring out the news: "Behold, I bring you glad tidings of great joy. which shall be to all peon^e. For today is born in the citv of David a Saviour, wHich is Christ the Lord!" The second installment paid for our soul's clearance was the scene in Quarantania, a mountainous region, full of caverns, where are to this day panthers 1 ?:u 1 A.~ -.11 4U.4. <uiu 4VUU ucdstb Ui an bui id, du mac- juu must now go there armed with knife or gun or pistol. It Was there that Jesus went to think and to prav, and it was there that his monster of hell?more sly. more terrific than anything that prowled in that country?Satan himself met Christ. The rose in the cheek of Christ?that Publius Lentullus in his letter to the Roman senate ascribed to Jesus?that rose had scattered its petals. Abstinence from food had thrown Him into emaciation. A long abstinence from food recorded in profane history is that of the crew of the ship Juno. For twenty-three days thev had nothing to eat. But this sufferer had fasted a month and ten days before He broke fast. Hunger must have agonized every fiber of the body and gnawed on tne stomach with teeth of death. The thought of a morsel of bread or meat must have thrilled the body with something like ferocitv. Turn out a pack of men hungry as Christ was a-hungered. and if they had strength with one yell they would devour you as a kid. It was in that pang of hunger that Jesus was accosted ana Satan said, "Now change these stones, which look like bread into an actual supply of bread." Had the temptation come to you and me under those circumstances we would have cried. ''Bread it shall be!" and been almost impatient at the time taken for mastication. But Christ with one hand beat back the hunger and with the other hand beat back the monarch of darkness. Oh, ye tempted ones! Christ was tempted. We are told that Napoleon ordered n coat of mail made, but was not quite cer1 tain that it was impenetrable, so he said to the manufacturer of the coat of mail. "Put it on now yourself and let us try it." And with shot after shot from his own 1 pistol the emperor found out that it was 1 just what it pretended to be?a good coat nf mail Then the man received a larze | reward. I bless God that the fame coat of mail 1 that struck back the weapons of tempta tion from the head of Christ we may 't now all wear, for Jesus comes and says: ' "I have been tempted, and I know what 1 it is to be tempted. Take this robe that ! defended Me and wear it for yourselves. I shall see you through all trials, and I ' shall see you through all temptations." ' "But,"' says Satan still further to Jesus, "come, and I will show you something 1 worth lookine at, and after a half day's journey they came to Jerusalem and to the top of the temple. Just as one might 1 go up in the tower of Antwerp and look off upon Belgium, so Satan brought ' Christ to the top of the temple. Some people at a great height feel dizzy and a strange disposition to jump, so Satan comes to Christ in that very crisis. Standing there at the top of the temple, they look off. A magnificent reach of country. Grainfields, vineyards, olive groves, forests and stream's, cattle in the valley, flocks on the hills and villages and cities and realms. "Now," says Satan, "I'll I make a bargain. Just jumD off. I know it is a great way from the top of the temple to the valley, but if you are divine you can flv. Jump off. "it won't hurt yo?. Angela will catch you. Your Father will hold yon^ Besides. Tit mnlce you a large present if you will. I'll eive yon Asia Minor. I'll srive you China, I'll pive you Ethiopia. I'll give you Italy, I'll give you Spain, I'll pive you German v, I'll I **1%ta vnii Pribin I'll crirp VOll all the I world." What a temptation it must have been! Go to-morrow mornine and pet in an altercation with some wretch erawline up ?from a gin cellar in the lowest part of vour city. "No," you say. "I would not bemoan myself by (jettinp into such a contest." Then think of what the King of heaven and earth endured when H" came down and fought the trreat. wretch of hell and fonpht him in the wilderness and on top of the temple. But I bless God that in the triumph over temptation Christ gives us the assurance that we also shall triumph. Having Himself been tempted. He is able to succor all those who are tempted, j In a violent storm at sea the mate told | a boy;? for the rigging had become entanI gled in the mast?to go up and right it. A gentleman standing on the deck said: "Don't send that bov up. He will be dashed to death." The mate said. "I know what I am about." The bov raised his hat in recognition of the order and then rose hand over hand and went to work. And as he swung in the storm the passengers wrung their hands and ex? Dected to see him fall. The work done, he came down in safety, and a Christian I man said to him. "Why did you go down in the forecastle before you went up?" I "Ah!" said the boy. "I went doira to oray. My mother always taught me, before I undertook anything jrreat to pray." "Wlmf ic fViof vnn have in vour vest?" "Oh, that is the New Testament." he said. "I thought I would earn' it with me if I really did go overboard." How well the boy was proteotpd! I care not how great the height or how vast the depth, with Christ within us and Christ beneath lis and Christ above us and Christ all around us, nothing ' an befal us in the way of harm. Christ Himself having been in the tempest will deliver all those who put their trust in Him. Blpssed be His glorious name forever! The third installment paid for our redemption was the agonizinr prayer in Gethsemare. As I sat in that garden, at the foot of an old enarled and twisted olive tree, the historic scene came upon me overwhelmingly. These old olive tr?es are the lineal descendants of thos? under which Christ stood and wppt and knelt. Have the leaves of whole botanical generations told the story of our Lord's agony to their successors? Next to Calvarv, the solemnest, place in Palestine is Gethsemane. While sitting there it seemed as if I could hear our Lord's prayer. _ laden with sob3 and* groans. Can this be the Jesus wh<i gathered fragrance from the frankincense brought to His cradle and from the lilies that flung their sweetness into His sermons and from the box of alabaster that broke at His feet? Is this Jesus the comfnrtpr of Bethanv. the resurrector at Nain, the oculist at Bethsaida? Is this the Christ whose frown is the storm, whose smile is the snnlight, the snring morning His breath, the thunder His voice, the ocean a drop on the tip of His finrer, heaven a sparkle on the bosom of His love, the universe the dust of His chariot wheel? Is this the Christ who is able to heal a heartbreak, or hush a tempest, or drown a world, or flood immensity with His glory? Behold Him in prayer, the globules of blood bv sorrow pressed through the skin of His forehead! What an installment in part payment of the greatest price that was ever paid! Further I remark, the last great installment paid for our redemntion was the demise of Christ. The world has seen many dark days. Many summers a<ro there was a verv dark day when the sun was eclipsed. The fowl at noonday weni to their Derch. and we felt a gloom as we looked at the astronomical wonder. It was a dark dav in London when the plague was at its height and the dead with uncovered faces were taken in open cars and dumped in the trenches. It was a dark dav when the parth opened and Lisbon sank, but the darkest day since the creation of the world was when the carnage of Calvary was enacted. I It was about noon when the curtain began to be drawn. It was not the coming on of a night that soothes and refreshes: it was the swinging of a great gloom all around the heavens. God hunrr it. As when there is a dead one in the house you bow the shutters, or turn the lattice, so God in the afternoon shut the windows of the world. As it is appropriate to throw a black pall upon the coffin as it passes alone, so it was appropriate that everything should be sombre that day as the ereat hearse of the earth rolled on bearing the corpse of the King. A man's Inst hours are ordinarily kept sacred. However you may have hated or caricatured a roan, when you hear he is dying silence ruts its hand on your lins, and you would havr a Ioathin<z for the man who could stand by a deathbed making faces and scoffing. But Christ in His last hour cannot be left alone. What! Pursuing Him yet after so long a pursuit? You have been drinking His tears. Do you want to drink His blood? They come up closely, so that notwithstanding the darkness they can glut their revenge with the contortions of His countenance. Women stand there and weep, but can do no good. It is no nlace for the tender-hearted women. It wants a heart that crime has turned into granite. The waves of man's hatred and of hell's vengeance das.i up against the mantled feet, and the hands of sin and pain and torture clutch for His holy heart. Had He not been thoroughly fastened to the cross they would have torn Him down and trampied Him with both feet. How the cavalry horses arched their necks and champed their bits and reared and snuffed at the blood! Had a Roman officer called out for a light his voice would not have been heard in the tumult, but louder than the clash of spears, and the wailinc of womanhood, and the neiifh ing of the chargers, and the bellowing of the crucifiers there comes a voice crashing through?loud, clear, overwhelming, terrihc. It is the groaning of the dying Son of God! Look! What a scene! Look, world, at what you have done! I lift the covering from the maltreated Christ to let you count the wounds and estimate the cost. Oh, when the nails went through Christ's right hand and through Christ's left hand, that bought both your hands with all their power to work and lift and write. When the nails went through Christ's right foot and Christ's left foot, that bought your feet, with all their power to walk or run or climb. When the thorn went into Christ's temple, that bought your brain, with all its power to think and plan. When the spear cleft Christ's side, that bought your heart, with ail its power to love and repent and proy. When the Atlantic cable was lost in 1865, do you remember that the Great Eastern and the Medwav and the Albany vent out to find it: Thirty times they sank the grapnel two and a half miles deep in water. After awhile they found the cable and brought it to the surface. No sooner had it been brought to the surface than they lifted a shout of exultation, but the cable slipped back ngain into the water and was lost. Then for two weeks more they swept the sea with the grappling hooks, and at last they found the cable, and they brought it up in silence. They fastened it this time. Then with great excitement they took one end of the cable to the electrician's room to see if there were really any life in it, and, when they saw a spark and knew that a message could be sent, then every ha,t was lifted, and the rockets flew, and the guns sounded until all the.ves sels on the expedition knew, and the continents were lashed together. Well, my friends. Sabbath after Sabbath gospel messengers ha?*e rorne searching down for your souls. We have sweot the sea with the grappling hook of Christ's gospel. Again ana again we have thought that you were at the surface, and we- began to rejoice over your redemption, but at the moment of our gladness you sank back again into tiie world and back again into sin. To-day we come with the gospel searching for your soul. We apply the cross of Christ first to see whether there is anv life left in you, while all around the peonle stand, looking to see whether the work will be done, and the angels of God bend down and witness, and, oh. if now we could see only one spark of love and hope and faith we would send up a shout that would be heard on the battlements of heaven, and two worlds would keep jubilee because communication is open between Christ and the soul and your nature that has been sunken in sin has been lifted ipto the light and the joy of I , the gospel. The Typical "Bad Man." A Scotchman in the Far West, previously disappointell in not finding the typical "had man." whom he supposed to be the common product of the country, says W. D. Lyman in the Atlantic, suddenly encountered his man on a steamboat. There lie was sure enougn?ferocious mustaches, cowboy hat. fringed "shapps," buck SKin COai, guu IU UUH, > iinuin; uiram and all strictly according to Bret Harte. Our Scotchman gazed upon this "Western type" sonic time, and at last ventured to Interrogate lilm. The "bad man." as soon as he heard the Caledonian tones, leaned over confidentially and exclaimed, "Hoot, mon, I'm jast oot from Inverness!" It was another Scotchman on a Western steamboat, who. seeing a man at the table distinguishing himself by his horrible voracity and greed, was remarking to his American neighbor, "There! Just look at that specimen of the West. We never see a thing like that in Scotland," when the "specimen" suddenly shouted, "Hi, waiter, hae ye ony malr fash?" The writer was once told by a delightful man of Hartiord about going into a hotel in a California town, when a gigantic "Western ruffian" stumped up to the register, and on discovering his name, thundered out, "Where is that man from Connecticut?" Our friend, though expecting that he would at least have to treat the crowd and probably get a shot through his hat. at last timidly acknowledged his identity, when the giant bore down on him with broad grin and extended hand, exclaiming, "Shake, pard! I'm from Connecticut myself." Influence of the Automobile. It is not impossible that the time will come when horses will no longer be permitted on city streets. With animal traction abolished, household labors will be lightened by less dust, the streets will be cleaner and disease diminished thereby, inasmuch as it is in the surface layers of dust, those most easily stirred and set in motion by the horses' hoofs, that germs most abound. With the exit of horses, erniiins will nn longer be reauired. and flies, bereft of their breeding places will cease to convey typhoid germs throughout the land. Neither flies nor street dust will then be the purveyors of microbes for fruit stands and provision counters. With the general use of wide, pneumatic-tired, silent automobiles, the din of city noises will be lessened, wearied nerves will rest, and so life will be prolonged.?Mary A. Booth, in Good Housekeeping. Couldn't Teach Him. A London showman had an announcement stating: "Come and see the great sawed fish!" A learned gentleman read it, and informed the showman that he had made a mistake in the word "sawed;" that it ought to be "sword." "Yer'd better come in an' see fer ferself; the hadmission is only a tuppence, sir," said the showman. So the learned gentleman paid his ''tuppence," went in, and was shown a large codfish sawn in half. "Yer ain't the fust gentleman wot has tried to teach me 'ow to spell; but I tell yer I've 'ad a good eddieation, an' I'm runnin' this show just to prove to people I 'ave," grinned the showman. The learned gentleman left, deeply Indignant with the world in general and the showman in particular. Where VioletR Come From. Dr. B. T. Galloway, of the Department of Agriculture, says that the great violet growing centre of the country is the vicinity of Poughkeepsie. All violets from that district find a ready market in New York City, the flowers generally bringing the rais. ers less than a cent eae'i. The aver, age yield of a single plant is fifty flowers a year, and with good care a hundred may be obtained. In the Virginia violet farms, after i?-e younp: offshoots have been transplanted into open frames, rolling wooden screens are used on the top of the frames to regulate the amount o? sunshine which shall be admitted to the plants. Humboldt computed that, acre for acre, the food-productiveness of the banana is 132 times that of wheat. Try Grnin-O! "Try KraTn-A!
