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

TERRIBLE ITCHING SCALP.
Eczema Brolce Out Also on Hands and
Limbs?An Old Soldier Declares:
"Cuticura is a Blessing."
"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. Gray, 3303 Alt. Vernon

In Homeric days a battle was a conflict
of armed mobs, says the Scientific
American. 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.

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.

New York City.?The Eton jacket is
a veil deserved favorite for the young
girls as well as for their elders, aud is
exceedingly jaunty and chick. 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.

The fancy blouse grows more popu- !

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. The most beautiful
tints have been produced. Orchid
yellow, with a suggestion of pink In its
undertones, is a favorite. Amber and
the softer tones of orange are also very
popular. Cream corn yellow like milky
amber is one of the cheerfulest of tbe
many tints of this lovely color.

REV. DAVID J. BURRELL, D. D.
Subject: A King in the Pillory.
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

uth and, admiring bis industry and
;verness, he promoted him step by

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.

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.

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."

shots a minute. The gun is electric
and can be worked aud kept supplied
