The) would rather die and have their families perish with them than to cry out in th* bold words of the soldier in my text "As for me and my house, we will serv? the Lord." There was. In my ancestral fine, ar, incident so strangely impressive that i* seems more like romance than reality It bas sometimes been so inSccnr.itely put forth that I now give you the true incident. My grandfather and grand mother. i:ving at Somerville. N J., went to Baskingridge to witness a revival un der the ministry of the Rev. Dr. Finley They came home so impressed with what they h'ad se<-n that they resolved on the salvation of their children. The young people of the house ^were to P.O off for an evening party, and ?.* grandmother said: . a(iy for the "Now. when' you em, for I have somv - paxtA", comejijortant to tell you." All ^L-Sr for departure, they came to her room, and she s?id to them, "Now.. I want you to remember, while you are away/his ever*ng. that I am all the time in this roompraying for your salvation, and I shall--*''-'* cease praying until you get back/ The young people -went to the part* btli auiid tbe loudest hilarities of the^'S*1*" they could not forget that their -other was praying for them. The ?veir'? Passed- and the night passed. fy: next day my grandparents heard &r ?ntcry m an adjoining room, and they I mt in and found their' daughter im muring the salvation of the gospel.

They found th?ir son David, who after ward became my father, imploring God's pardon and mercy. Before a great while the whole family were saved, and David went and told the story toa youngwom an to whom he was affianced, who as a result of the story became a Christian, and from her own . lips-my mother's i have received the incident. CONY! "?SIOS OF THE TALMAGE FAMILY. The st. ry of that converted household ran through all the neighborhood frotn family to family nntil the whole region was whelmed with religious awakening, and at the next communion in the village church at Somerville over 200 souls stood" up to profess, the faith of the gospel. My motber. carrying the rr nory of this scene from early womanhood into fur ther life, in after years was resolved up on the salvation of her '-hildron, and for many years every week she met three 'Other Christian mothers to pray for the salvation of. their famines. I think that all the members of those families were sa ved-myself, the youngest and last. There were 12 of us children. 1 trace the whole line of mercy back to that hour when my Christian grandmoth er sat in her room imploring the Mess ing of God upon her children. Nine of her descendants became preachers of the gospel. Many of her descendants are in heaven, many of them still in the Christian conflict. Did it pay for her to 6pend the whole evening in prayer fi ?r her household? Ask her before the t hrone of Ood. surrounded by her children. In the presence of the Christian church to da}' 1 maki- this record of ancestral piety. Oh, there is a bc-nuty, and :t ten derness, and a sublimity in family re Iigion! There are but four or five pictures in the old family Bilde that I inherited, but j Dore never illustrated a Bible as that 1 >ook : is illustrated to my eyes. Through it I can see into marriages and burials, joys and sorrows, meetings and partings. Thanks giving days and Christian festivals, cra dles and deathbeds. Ohl. old book, speak out and tell of the sorrows comforted and of the dving hours irradiated. Old. old book, the hands that held thee are ashes, the eyes that perused thee are closed. What a pillow thou wouldst make for a dying head. I salute all the mem ories of the past when 1 press it to my heart and when I press it to my lips. BIBLE ASSOCIATIONS. Oh. that family Bible! The New Tes lament in small type i" not worthy of being called by that name. Have a whole Bi! le in large type, with the fam ily recofd of marriages and births and deaths. What if the curious should turn over the leaves to see how old yon are? You are younger now than you will ever be again. The curious will find out from those with whom you have played in your childhood how old you are. Have a family Bibie. It will go down from generation to generation, lull of holy memories. A hundred years lifter you are dead it will be a benediction to tin >se who come after you. Other books, worn out or fallen apart, will be flung to the garret or the cellar, but this wi ! be inviolate, and it will be your protest for centuries against iniquity aud in be half of righteousness. Oh. when we see what family religion did for our father's-household, do we not want it to come into the dining room to break the bread, into the nursery tv bless the young, into the parlor to purify the 60cialitie ;*ito the library to control the reading, into the bedroom to hallow the slumber, into the hall to watch our going out and our coming in? Aye, there are hnndredsof voices in this house ready to cry out: "Yes! Yes! As for me and my house, we wid serve the Lord." There are two anns to this subject. The one ann puts its hand on all par ents. It say s to them: "Don't interfere with your children's welfare, don't inter fere with their eternal happiness, don't you by anything you.do *pnt out yoni foot ?nd trip them into rum. Start them under the shelter, the insurance. the everlasting help of Christian parentage Catechisms will not save them, though catechisms are good. The rod will not save them, though the rod may be neces sary. Lessons ot virtue will not save them chough they are very in: j ?ort a nt. Becoming a through and through, up and down, out and out Christian yourself will make them Christians." The other arm of this subject puts its band upon those who had a pious bring ing uj?. but who as yt have (lisa j pointed the expectations excited m regard to them. 1 said that children brought np in Christian households, though they might make a widecurve. were very apt to come back to the straight path. Have you not been curring ont long enough, ar.d is it not most time tor you to b< giri to curve in? EARLY CHRISTIAN TRAINING. "Ob." yo1! say. "they were too rigid." Well now. my bro'her. 1 think you have a pretty rood character considering what yon say your parents were. 1 >< not boast too much about the st3"le h winch your parents brought you np. Might it not be possible that yon would be an exception to the ^em.-ral rule laid down, and that you might spend your eternity in a different world from that in which your pan:.ts are spending theirs? 1 feel anxious about you: you f< el anx ious about yourself. Oh, cross over i;;to the right path. If your parents prayed for you twice a day, each of them twice a day for 20 years, that would make 29. OOO prayers for yon Think of them!

"Asfor me and my house, we will serve the Lord." ANCHOR ICE.' A Strange Formation of Ire Crystal? at the Bottom nf Harbord. The "anchor ice." by which the steam er City of Boston was imprisoned in the Thames river at Norwich, is one of the strangest of wintry phenomena. It goes by various names. West of New Eng land it is known as "slush ice." and abroad it is called "ground ice," "bottom ice" and "loppered ice." It is not fr}?T(.ts upon the surface of water. h?t?m(f? on the bedsof streams^ it ^ ^ remarkable thiner^^ tQ gM^?BBt for nes naveljjon< ^c^ntjgt claimed S8? it was the result of radiation of heat from the river bed, and that it was de posited on the same principle as dew Another stoutly maintained that it was produced-by little spiculae of hoar frost falling from the atmosphere into the water. The most acceptable hypothesis, how ever, is that the whole body of water in which it is found is thoroughly chilled; by a mechanical action of the currents of the stream, and that the anchor ice then naturally forms on the stones and ? other rough iiodies. at the bottom. Aft* this gt .eral cooling " of *hc water to a temperature b* the neighborhood of. 32 degree? Fahr., the anchor'ice will speed ily coat a pole, for example, that is low ered into the stream. The nucleus hav- -i ing ope? been formed, the small masses < )f ice that cling by adhesion to the asper- < des of the river bed grow in size and at ] ength attain sufficient" buoyancy to * < loosen their fastenings and rise to the surface. In doing-this they frequently tear np small stones and clumps o? gravel. ^ The anchor ice is clearly crystalline in structure, and in the water resembles a kind of fungus or vegetable growth. At times a stream will be seen full of little masses of anchor ice floating along nea: or' at the surface. Its consistency often very slight, so that if an attempt is made to grasp it in the hand it readily melts and disappears. It is confined mainly to swiftly running streams hav ing gravelly or stony beds, and it is a feature of the winter that proves trouble some chiefly to mill owners. It collects on the head gates of the canals and on the racks at the entrance of flumer., and if it isallowe?Vto pass Lito a wheel pit is liable to slop the wheel, a.* it effectually stopped the paddles of the ?teamer City of Boston in the Thames.

At the Woman's club in Washington the following touching story was recent ly told: "1 was in Berlin in 1 >>~I when thc Emperor William returned from Paris, the war over and Germany victo rions. I sat in a barouche opposite the entrance of the palace. Around was all Berlin-all Germany, as it seemed to me. You could have walked on the heads of tho people, but you could not have moved in such a crowd. The em peror came and stood silently before them, and they were silent at first; then the shout that went up was almost aw ful in its intensity, and the emperor, with n military salute and a few words of thanks went in. Dut that did cot sat isfy them; they cried out again and pressed up closer. A peasant woman who had been standing near my carriage said: ?/n. let me come in-let me get nearer! I must see him! I have lost two sons in this war!' "1 opened the door, and she climbed in and stood up. I passed my arm around her to steady her. and then we turned t<". the balcony of the first floor In a mo ment the emperor appeared and stood, tho center of al! eyes and hearts. The peasant woman folded her hands and said: 'Pray for him-pray for him. and all those H his position! They have so much"-theie she paused, but I knew she meant blood, she was thinking of her boys--'so much on their hands!' The emperor again thanked the people for their welcome and asked them to disperse then, and they did.

He was one of four, and in a moment the other tiree were tangled up and the outfit blocked the whole, street. Two police men came np, and the skeleton pulled his nose out.of the snow and gazed into the hole with an indefinable expression of sadness on his face. -The policemen took hojd of him on either side in front and lifted him over Jhe traces again. Then they did the same with his hinder parts and pointed him up the avenue. They untangled the other three skele tons, and at the end of an thor 10 min utes the stage was out of the way. .What made him jump over the traces?" the reporter asked one of the .policemen. .'Saw an oat." answered both police men in concert. -New York SUD <>ueT Kurth ID California They are dredging some very queeT stuff down at McNear's basin.

There was a large family of children, and every one had his or her regular tasks, as my father, who was judge of the circuit court, was absent much of the time. There was to be a neighborhood dance one evening, and 1 had worked very hard that I might join a party who were to stop for me. I was putting the finishing touches on my toi let when the wagon filled with boys and girls drove up. On the hind seat was my girl, which perhaps was the cause of my* misfortune, for having forgotten to throw down hay for the horses moth er whispered that I ought to attend to that before I went away. I told the boys to wait on me a minute, and I hur ried to the barn.. "It was an immense barn, and on some cross beams roosted a score of turkeys. Climbing up the ladder hurriedly I dis turbed the turkeys, and with a 'cut. cut. cut,' the flock flew toward thc-open door.

The American Woman ami Her Bath. There is no doubt that women are be ginning to realize more and more the importance of the bath. It no longer continues to be a perfunctory duty, to be gone through with as a matter of course on Saturday nights, much as the family washing is undertaken on Mon day. The relation of cleanliness to godliness has ceased to be of importance. The bath has grown to be considered, on th< contrary, a close adjunct to woman's beauty. The fair sex has learned to study the bath and its effects upon their feelings, and incidentally the actiou of tepid or hot water on their fair skins and its efficacy in softening and beautifying their complexions. No longer can it be said that with the majority of American womer, a bath means simply wiping the face with a cor ner of a wet towel, even if the statement was ever true. The women of foreign countries in the past undoubtedly had a greater appreci ation of the near relation of the bath to personal beauty than the women of the United States. That a great change in this direction has l>een wrought is shown by the greater intelligence shown by American women today in the matter of bathing, and their growing predilection for what is known as Swedish massage. -Philadelphia Times. Ai. inhuman Nura*. Parents who are in the habit of putting their children out to nurse will do well to ponder over the following case re cently tried in a police court at Paris; From the testimony it appears that a nurse woman was .n the habit of giving a baby In her charge an artificially healthy complexion by cruelly painting the infantile face with cosmetics. The child progressed so nicely that its weight increased in an astonishing manner, ow ing, it is sr d. to some shot which the nurse place m the baby's clothes. Final ly the cruei fraud was detected, and the woman received two years' imprison ment.-New York Telegram. Seen In Tobacco Smoke. "Is there anything more blissful in all this world han that condition in which a p.an looks dreamily upward into a cloud of smoke and views the world through a pale, hazy film?* said Oram Mel vale as he did likewise. "We speak of viewing the world through a colored glass and making it look beautifully red and blue orgreet. but viewing it through smoke makes one not only see a richly colored worri, but also one in which evil is not contemplated, and pain is forgot ten. Tome the smoke is half magic, for it makt-s the tiresome hotel corridors along my route fade into nothing In their place it leaves a kind of an rn chanted garden in which I linger in per fect rest. Friends come back and bring with their coming old days of sunshine and country scenery through which we used to travel together. "Even-thing is warm, mellow, rich in its perfection, and then I feel as I imag ine a man ought to feel were he perfectly successful and famous. I half 1 ""eve in the old transmigration of son' .--orv when I think of it. Just imag?e some soul living and growing in n tobacco plant and being released only in the smoke of it! Can't you imagine that the sn oke might be a thankful, blissful sou! that lingers in the film over yon and brings back beautiful visions? I confess such speculations all charm tue into missing my train."-St. Louis O lobe Democrat. .? ! Tlie Frico? of Kugllsh .?Chaperoiia?e." A serious drawback to the cause of higher education f i>r women in the Eng- : lisb universities is reported from Oxford The cost of "chaperonage" has risen, j The older women, who are considered indispensable escorts to thegirlstudents who attend examinations and lectures, are demanding and receiving higher pay than ever before. In many cases the students cannot afford to meet this in creased expense,%nd a daring 'reformer j has suggested that Chaperons be dis ?>ensed with. While this ha? horrified ; the conservatives, it has pleased the ?tide pendent young women, who are begin ning to realize that there is n-> lurking peril in the streets of Oxford. - San Fran cisco Argonaut. She 1* In Dead Earnyit. Lady Florence Dixie has taken off thc gloves, if I may so put it. The time bas j come, she -declares in her latest mani festo, for woman to assert herself and to dethrone that too long worshiped and dreaded tyrant-man! And there is only one way. cries Lady Florence, in which this can be done. Women, as women, can never hope to effect the desired revo lution. Women, if they wish io do anything, "must disguise themselves as men.* "Patriotic mothers" are invited "to train up their girls" with a view to this new plan of campaign.

We are glad to know that the movement for thc new cotton fac tory is getting on nicely. It makes no diff?rence what poli tical upheavals may come about in this country in the next decade, or ! two, the grand old Democratic party j will remain intact. It has been the prop and stay of this country since the early days'of the Republic, and when it dies constitutional liberty on this continent will die with it. Those people in South Carolina who are vainly believing that thc-ol 1 prder of things politically will be restored in this State some day are deluding themselves cruelly. The history of lie past proves conclu sively that r**vol ut ions*rrevcr go back ward, and the political revolution in South Carolina will be no exception to thc rule. The Columbia correspondent of the News and Courur says that, while the liquor men of that city do nut admit it in so many words, the fact is patent that they have practically gi ven up thc fight against the dis- j pensary law, and very many of their ; employees are-seeking other places in ; anticipation ot b-ing thrown out of a job. Sensib.^ men. The charge that all the supporters j of Tillman in this State were opposed to Cleveland is bosh. Many of them opposed Cleveland because they did not think he could be elected.

Considering the source, these are significant words. As a rule you can safely put down | the man who suspects every one else ? of being dishonest -asa rascal, him-! self. The same rule holds good inj politics.
