Heavy I.oisen. A prominent Senator, riding on a car one clay in Washington, snv a coin laying ou the floor. As lie was going out he stooped and picked it up. Most of the passengers saw him. Being fond of a joke, he thought he would have a laugh. So he said: "Beg your pardon, but did any one lose a fivedollar gold piece?" Nearly all got up and claimed the coin. "Well," drawled the Senator, "I just f picked up five cents, and if you look around you will probably find the other , 54.95."

"At all times and to all people 1 am willing to testify to the merits ot uuticura. It saved me from worse tnan the torture of hades, about the year 1900, with itching on my scalp and temples, and afterwards it commenced to break out on my hands. Then it broke out on my limbs. ^ I then went to a surgeon, whose treatment did me no good, but rather aggravated the disease. 1 then told him 1 would go and see a physician in Erie. The reply was that 1 could go anywhere, but a case of eczema like mine could not be cured; that 1 was too old (SO). 1 went to an eminent doctor in the city of Erie and treated with him for six months, with like results. 1 had read of the Cuticura Remedies, and so J sent for the Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, and continued taking the Resolvent until 1 had taken six bottles, stopping it to take the Pills. 1 was now getting better. 1 took two baths a day, and at night 1 let the lather of the Soap dry on. 1 used the Ointment with great effect after washing , in warm water, to stop the itching at once. 1 am now cured. The Cuticura treatment is a blessing, and should be used by every one who has itching of the skin. 1 can't say any more, and thank God that He has given the world such a curative. Wm. H.

The nearer you got to your assailant, the better was you^ chance N of killing or being killed. The bigger the man, the better were his chances in the strife. In thsse piping times of mechanical warfare, the situation is reversed. Battles are fought at ranges of a mile or so. The smaller tbe man the less are his chances of being hit. An Ingenious mathematician has figured out that perhaps the casualties on the Japanese side must have been considerably less than those of the Russians in the receut war, if it be assumed that the marksmanship of each was equally good. The advantage of the Japanese was inversely as the cubes of their height and breadth. The aver. age targets offered by each to the enemy are as the cubes of 1585 and 1642, or as 10G to US, an advantage in favor of the Japanese of about twelve per cent. Longent of S#el Hope*. In a short time Calumet may justly claim to have the largest steel wire rope in the world, says a Calumet cor respondent of the Detroit Free Press. The new rope will be used in the No. 4 shaft of the Calumet branch of the mine. The rope will have a length of 9500 feet, which is not quite two miles in length. The diameter of this cable is 1% inches, whicl. js somewhat heavier than the ordinary rope which is \ised in the mine work. At the present f" time the Calumet and the Hecla has some cables which equal the one secured iu length, but they are not as heavy as the new steel rope. It can be safely said that tlte new rope will be the longest cf this character aud thickness iu the world. Gold In Mastodon'* Skull.

Here is one of the latest and best develop ments thereof th.at is suited to cloth, to silk and to linen, and that is as simple as it is fashionable. In this j case old rose veiling is trimmed with silk banding and is held by buttons of white silk covered with crochet work executed in silk the shade of the veiling. The seams that extend to the shoulder at front and back provide mntt hoo/iminir ami entisfjintrirv lines to the figure, while the long, flat collai' at the neck is a favorite of the spring. The Eton is made with fronts, sidefronts, back and side-backs, the seams being concealed by the trimming. The collar is joined to the neck and the closing is made with buttons and buttonholes. The sleeves are moderately full and can be finished below the elbows with the flare cuffs or extended to the wrists as liked. The quantity of material required for the medium size (sixteen years) is three and one-half yards twenty-seven, one and three-fourth yards forty-four or one and five-eighth yards fifty-two inches wide, with six yards of banding.

Lingerie materials of all sorts are shown made up in combination with lnce and embroidery; thin silk and the light weight wools are similarThe Scarf Habit. Fashion has the scarf habit. Never were so many beautiful, filmy scarfs seen. Prettiest of all are the printed chiffon affairs. Roses, violets and softtinted flowers like hydrangeas are the favorites, and with them are mingled Pompadour loops and ends of ribbon, printed in pale tints. Spangled scarfs are also much in evidence. The vogue of gold and silver tinsel extends to these decorative pieces, and Syrian scarfs thickly sewn with gold and silver beads and sequins are the most popular of the collection. They cost as hiRh as $20. although very nrottv ones may be bad for $10 and $12. Yellow in lJettiming. Yellow lias been out ol' favor for such a length of time that its revival 1 is doubly welcome.

New York City.?"A King in the Pilry" wns the subject of a strong scrjn preached by the Rev. David James jrrell, D. D., LL. D., Sunday in the arble Collegiate Church. Fifth aveie. The text was from I Kings xii:2: Lnd it came to pass -when Jeroboam, e son of Nebat, heard of it (for he as in Egypt), that they sent and lied him." Dr. Burrell said: [n reading the chroniclesof the Kings Israel we come upon the name of roboam, and it is almost always menrned in these terms, "Jeroboam, the n of Nebat, who made Israel to sin." lis is repeated no less than eighteen nes with weary reiteration. Jeroiam has stood in the pillory three ousand years, with that placard over m. Why is he thus branded and disnored? At the time of our context he was ring in Egypt. He did not belong ere. He was a Jew; a widow's son. stineiiishpfl ns a civil engineer. He id begun at the foot of the ladder, ading a hand with pick and shovel the repairing of the fortifications Milo. The eyes of King Solomon 11 upon tbe tall, broad-shouldered uth and, admiring bis industry and ;verness, he promoted him step by 5p until he was made superintendent public works, and placed in charge thirty thousand men. His ambition ew with his advancement; and thus, length, temptation overcame him. e was like many others of whom we y, "They cannot bear prosperity." At is time in Israel there was much disntent, Swing to royal luxury and exivagance, and to excessive taxes and vernmental impositions. The young gineer was approached by tlie malntents, and became involved in n coniracy. Soldmon got wind of it. the nspiracy collapsed, and Jeroboam id to Egypt, where he was now living impatient exile. At the death of Solomon the smolderg fire burst into a flame. His son jhoboam refused to listen to the mplaints of the people, saying: "My ther chastised you with whips, but will chastise you with scorpions." le ten tribe? assembled and resolved i secession. The cry was raised: "To >ur tents, 0 Israel!" And we should ! ine last to oiiu uiun wnu mnu, acp the state of affairs was much lat it was when our forefathers came gether in Independence Hall, and ew up a notable protest beginning, Vhen in the course of humau events becomes necessary for one people to ssolve the political bands which have nnected them with another," etc. hen the question arose as to who ould be the leader of the ten tribes I eyes turned to Egypt; and Jeroboam as sent for. , He had longed for that message, and stened to answer it. He was probily not more than a fortnight on the ay. The Israelites had consumed rty years in the same journey, when ey came up "out of the house of eir bondage;" but Jeroboam's feet pre wincred with ambition as theirs ere not. What dreams and visions imulated him! The crown beckoned m! He met the assembled people at hechem and "was formally inauguted. "God save the King!" The pes of the ambitious youth were real?d at last. What an opportunity was iw before him! What an outlook, if ily he would reign in the fear of God. But, alas, he began in the wrong ay. Thinking only of personal adincement, he left God out of the ckoning. That was a desperate blunr. His reign of two and twenty ars is briefly summed up in three as; all of them due to what Spenser lis "the sacred hunger of an ambi>us minde." His first sin was against God, in tting up the golden calves. From the nndpoint of a godless king this was iod policy. He reasoned thus: "The w requires that the people shall go Jerusalem to attend the three annual stivals. If they do this, however, it only a question of time when they fiim tn tlioir fnrmpr nllpfrinnoe. Wp ust, therefore, have our own centres worship; and where better than at an in the north and Bethel in the utb, both consecrated by sacred assoitions. As we cannot have the ark of e covenant, we must devise some her visible symbols of the presence God. And what better than two lden calves, with faces like those ' the mystical figures over the ark?" The shrines were dedicated accordgly and the royal proclamation went rth, "These be your gods, 0. Israel!" From the standpoint of mere stateaft this may have been "good poly;" but it was bad religion. Any rm of idolatry is offensive to God. is not necessary to set up a golden ilf. We may make an idol out of ealth or pleasure or honor. We may ame an idol out of our imagination. 11 gods are false, except the One who is revealed Himself in His word as le true God. And anything is an idol hich is served or honored more than e serve or honor Him. The second sin of Jeroboam w^s jninst himself. He was warned vice, Dut rerusea to neea it. un one :casion, as he stood beside the altar esuining to burn incense there, an aknown and unnamed prophet stood ?slde him crying, "0 altar, altar! thus lith the Lord: A child shall be born ho shall destroy the priests of the gh places and burn men's bones upon lee!" And -when Jeroboam stretchcd >rth his hand and cried, "Lay hold pon him!" his hand was palsied, so lat he must needs entreat the Lord i restore it. On another occasion his son. the heirpparent, being desperately ill, the ing, knowing the futility of praying i the golden calves, sent his wife in isguise to the prophet at Shiloh. As ie approached the prophet's door he 'ied, "Come in, thou wife of Jerooam! Why feignest thou thyself to e another? I have heavy tidings for lee. Go tell Jeroboam, Thou hast one evil; therefore, I will bring evil pon thy house, for the Lord hath loken it!" ah warnings were iosc upon this inn. God did the best He could for )r him, as He does for every inveterte sinner. He warns, promises, en eats in vain. He sends blessings inumerable, then chastisements, sorrow, dversity to 110 purpose. Like Jerooam, being wedded to liis sins, the.v fun upon the bosses of the shield of rod." The third sin of this man was against ie people. His influence was like the ric tree; and they sat under it. He made Israel to sin." He issued a roclaraation requiring them to bow t the idolatrous shrines: and during 11 the subsequent history of the ten ribes his baneful shadow was over aem. They had fourteen kings, before Key were led away into exile, and here iras not a godly man among uem. One after another they took tlieir places in the pillory beside him, being characterized on this wise, "Who followed in the steps of Jeroboam, the i son of Nehat. who made Israel to sin." j But why do we' have the record of j these sins? Would it not have been kinder to pass over them in silence? In the Assembly Hall of the Military Academy at West Point you may see the portraits of the various captains who have commanded there. One place, however, is left blank; it is the place that should have been occupied by Benedict Arnold, the traitor. The picture of Jeroboam might in like manner have been turned to the wall, but- for the fact that the reiteration of his sin carries a great lesson with it. namely, the perpetuity of influence. "No man liveth unto himself and no man dietb unto himself." There are three kinds of influence which every man exerts; and we may wisely consider them. The first is voluntary. The sins of Jeroboam were not inadvertant; he meant to have the people worship the golden calves. He did wrong deliberately. There are others who do likewise; thieves, rum sellers, dive keepers, managers of Sunday theatres, purveyors of unclean literature and authors of infidel hooks: these do evil with malice aforethought. Not content with ruining themselves, they plan to ruin others. To all such the word of the Master applies: "It must needs be that offenses come; hut woe to that man by whom the offense cometh. It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his n^ck and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea." But there are multitudes who do good and intend to do it. The world is full of them: teachers of truth, "sisters of mercy," life savers and philanthropists; who speak the seasonable word "which i js like apples of gold In baskets of silver." and who eagerly stretch forth the helping hand. To such the word of the Master applies. "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto Me." The second kind of influence is automatic. And this is by far the largest force in life. Ifor influence does not wait to be exerted, it exerts itself whether we will or not. I used to go fishing for trout in a clear stream among the Pocono Hills: but when I was last there the waters were dull and dark, and my errand was vain. The man who had built a paper mill up above did not mean to kill the fish; nevertheless, the refuse had effectually accomplished it. Joliri Mills, who translated Chambers Encyclopedia into French in 1743. was moved by nothing worse than the thought of personal gain. But when, with that end in view, he enlisted the services of Voltaire, Rousseau. Diderot and others of that infidel erroun. he set in operation forces which fifty years later brought on the Reign of Terror. It is thus that men do evil without intending it. The third kind of influence is posthumous. A man who bad lived an evil life said on bis deathbed, "I wish you could gather up m.v influence and bury it with me." Alas! that could not be. His body might lie in the sepulcher and his name be forgotten, but "the evil a man does lives after him." Of all the things that followed Jeroboam not one was so alive as Jeroboam himself, though he had been "gathered unto his fathers;" for through Nadab and Baasha and Ela and Zimri and the others he was still "making Israel to sin." Ana tue innuence ot rigni-nvmg meu i is likewise immortal; "they do rest from their labors, but their works do follow them." The odor of the spikenard, with which an unknown woman oilte anointed the feet of Jesus, has come down through the centuries, her deed being told "as a memorial of her." So the dead are really the living. We are guided by the memory of those whom we have "loved and lost awhile." Goodness is "proof against the tooth of time and the raisure of oblivion." If a fixed star were to be extinguished in the distant heavens, it would be a million years before the people of this world would discover it ?its light would still be shining on?, So when a good man dies, For years beyond our ken The light he leaves behind him lies Upon the paths of men. The lesson is plain. Let us look to our influence! But how? The secret of doing good is being good. Can men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles? "A good man out of the treasure of his heart bringeth forth good fruit." Our influence is never better than our character, and character has its seat and centre in the heart. If we would set ourselves right in the matter, the first thing to do is to come to Christ, that we may rid ourselves of sin; t\nd all the rest is following Him? that is, to believe His teaching, to do His work and to be like Him. Light cannot help shining. It sounds no trumpets, waves uo banners, makes no announcement of its coming, but just comes. "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify God." 0 may I join the choir invisible Of those immortal dead who live again In minds made better by their presence; live In pulses stirred to generosity, In deeds of daring rectitude, in scorn For miserable aims that end with self, In thoughts sublime that piece the night like stars, And with their mild persistence urse man's search To vaster issues. Application. BY J. B. MILLER. . Christ read new meanings Into the commandments. Anybody would say it is wrong to murder another. If that is all the commandment forbids not very many people break it. But it is a good deal harder to keep as Jesus explained it. He said that if we are angry with another or if we speak with contempt of another we have broken the commandment. Jesus wants us to live up to our prayers. We are to love each other and never jio harm to any. Then He tells us that if when we are praying we remember that we have injured another, we should go away at once and set things right before we go on with our prayer. Jesus counsels us also against quarreling. He says we had better agree with our adversary, for quarrels once begun go on indefinitely, growing worse and worse. All wrangling and contention are bad, and if we are in the wroug we can only be worsted by keeping up the strife. Bad thoughts are sins as well as bad acts. We need to keep watch upon our hearts where desires and feelings are born. A good many people think they have a right to pay back the injuries tliey receive. But that is not Christ's way. His law of love bids us return good for evil. The way we are to treat enemies is to love them, be kind to them, pray for them. The IJihI and the BtoMom. There is not such a great difference between grace and glory after all. Grace is the bud and glory is the blossom. Grare is glory begun, and glory is grace perfected. It will not come liard to people that are serving God down here to do it when they go up yonder. They will change places, but they won't chaBge employments.?D. L.

Consul-General Hanna, of Monterey, reports that Finance 'Minister Limantour, of Mexico, made the following statement coocerc.ing the finances of the republic while on a recent visit to Monterey: "Since going on a gold basis Mexico is as prosperous ns her most 6anguine friends could desire. We are shipping out vast quantities of silver, and. for every silver dollar going out we are getting fifty cents in gold in return. We have received $27,000,000 in gold for circulation, $7,000,000 of this having been received from the Philadelphia mint within the past seven weeks, and the mint is continuing to turn out a million a week. The mint of Mexico is also turning out $100,000 in gold daily, besides the new silver money of various denominations. This gold is gradually getting into circulation. The banks are accumulating stores of the new money, and the gold standard is an accomplished fact in Mexico. Naturally the stabilizing of the country's finances has added largely to the material prosperity, and enterprise is the watchword all over the republic. Business was never on a surer footing, new railroads are building in various sections, and the tone of sentiment throughout the country is decidedly optimistic." Great Firing Capacity. M.
