A MAN WITH THE WAR FEVER.
Mr. White, a Detroiter of middle age, visited
this office yesterday to find a war map and
to have a chat about the European situatioo,
and it wasn't ten minutes before his enthusiasm
was to the boiling point.
"It will be worth thousands and millions
and billions of dollars to this couutryl" be
shouted as he broke through one of the office
chairs.
"Yes, it will," somebody remarked.
"It will stiffen wages, bring out capital,
make money plenty and just set us all to
hooping!" he hooped as he scratched the leg
wounded at the first Bull Run.
Somebody remarked that it probably would.
Taking five newspaper war maps under one
arm and a copy of tbe London Times under
the other, Mr. White left the office and proceeded
directly homeward, feeling more patriotic
every moment.
"Oh! we're going to lay 'em right out,
Nancy !" he said, as he dropped his hat in
the hall.
"Did you order the flour?" she asked, in a
careless tone.
"Flour! What do I care about flour?
The Russians have got Kara and half of the
Turkish army 1"
"Have, eh! Well, I hope that paper-hanger
will be here in the morning. You didn't
thiuk to see about?"
"Right here is Kars,and right here is where
the Turks got mauled J" he exclaimed, as he
knelt on the floor and traced one of the maps.
"Did, eh! Say, John, can't you rake off
the lawn this morning, and did you see about
the white-washing ?"
"Will you talk about white-washing when
all Europe is convulsed with war?" he fiercely
demanded, as he shook the other four maps at
her.
"I?I'd like those onion beds marked
out to-day," she replied, as she hunted
through the work-basket for a button with an
eye in it.
"Onion beds marked out, when this very
copy of the London Timet editorially predicts
that a million armed men will be rushing at
each others' throats in less than sixty days!"
She found the button, and he unrolled the
balance of his maps. There was a dead silence
until his finger rested on the city of I
Erzeroum, when he shouted :
"Here she is! Right round here is where
they are making the Turks howl for sugar!"
"By the way, John," she softly remarked,
as she looked up "don't you think that summer
kitchen will have to be re-shingled this
spring?"
The girl who does general housework says
he tore the five war-maps into five hundred
pieces, and banged the London Timet against
the wall with an awtul thump as oe jumped
outdoors, but girls are sometimes prejudiced.
Mr. White was in the corner grocery at 11.30
saying to the proprietor:
"Don't it make your blood jump as you
read of the Eastern situation."
And the proprietor raked the cheese knife
on the edge of the counter to clean it and replied
:
"Seems like I shall haf to kill doze boys
who cut soap with dis knife."

TWO STORIES.
A gentleman, just returned from over the
Canadian border, tells these stories: He was
in the hotel general-accommodation room,
when two veterans of the (bote!) bar, laying
schemes for a drink, began to tell stories to
each other for his bene6t.
"These are awful hard times," said one. "I
never saw such times before, except when I
was in Ohio, and then I was hard put to it to
get along. Nothin'todo. I had a yoke of
steers, but they wan't earnin' nothin'. But
I lived right on the road the Western emigrants
went over every day. So I dug a hole
in that road at the foot o' the hill, near my
house, turned a livin' spring o' water into't,
and made a good mud-hole. Well, when the
emigrants came along, every day there would
be one or more teams git stuck in the mudhole,
an' they would see my steers standin'
out, doin' nothin', and they would send up
and git me to come and help 'em out; an' I
alwaz charged as much as five dollars a lift.
Well, I kep' that mud-hole right up in good
repair, till I made twenty-five thousand dollars
out on't, an' then I sold it for three thousand
dollars, an' moved up here."
Story number two was the other Munchausen's
companion-piece for the yoke of steers :
"When I was a choppin'?I could chop
some, you know?an' folks used to ask me
how much I could do in a day. 'Have you
ever tried it?' says they. 'No, never,' says I,
'never but once and that wan't really a try.
You see, jest to show 'em what I could do, I
got up one winter mornin' afore light and
ground up ray ax sharp, 0, jest as sharp, and
went into the woods. An' I chopped like
sixty till about three o'clock in the afternoon,
when I thought it was as much as I could pile
oforo annrlnron an' T TOPnt to oilin'. Well.
"f 1 r
when I had it all piled up it measured twenty-seven
cord. An' then I knew soraethin'
waT wrong, for I knew at the rate I had been
choppin' it oughter be more. So I went back,
an' began lookin' 'round to Bee what the
trouble was. An' there, right at the fust tree
I cut in the raornin', was my ax-head. You
see, the thing was loose an' slipped off*, and I
had been choppin' all day with the bare
helve."

Woman's Curiosity.?A Detroit man was
pushing an iron lawn-roller around a yard
on Woodward Avenue, when an old lady
came along, leaned up against the fence, aud
watched him for a while, and then called
out:
"Say, mister, what are you pushing that
around for?"
"To roll the lawn," he answered.
"What do you want to roll the lawn for?"
"To make it level."
"What do you want to make it level for?"
r she continued.
"That's what I was ordered to do," he answered
as he wiped away the perspiration.
"But what did they order you to do it
for?"
"Why, they think a smooth lawn looks the
best, I suppose."
"Why do they think a smooth lawn looks
the best?" she persisted.
"I haven't time to talk," he said, as he
started up again.
"Why haven't you time to talk?" she
-I *
BllUUbCU*
"Go'n ask the boss!" lie yelled.
"Why shall I go'n ask the boss?" she
screamed.
He disappeared behind the house to get rid
of her, and after waiting five minutes for him
to reappear^she slowly sauntered off, muttering
:
"Some folks are so smart and stuck up that
you can't get within a mile of 'em onless you
blaze all over with diamonds."
The Lawyer's Claim.?They tell a good
story of an old business man who recently
found himself "cornered" financially, and desired
to go into bankruptcy. He applied to
a lawyer to know how much it would cost to
have the papers made out and the business
put through. He was told that the expenses
would be about one hundred dollars, and, appearing
to be satisfied with the price, he told
the lawyer to go ahead. The lawyer followed
the instructions, and when the work was done
he called for his little one hundred dollars.
"All right," said the baukrupt, "you can put
your claim right in with the others."
Consolation.?"William," observed a
Milwaukee woman to her husband, "Mrs.
Holcorab feels pretty badly now, since the
loss of her child, and I wish you would drop
over there and see her. You might say that
all flesh is grass, and that we've all got to go
the same way; and see if she's going to use
her dripping-pan this afternoon/'

Shoe-Pegs.?Huntington has a pretty little
settlement called Dayville, nestled among
the mouutains near the Boston & Albany
Railroad, of which the principal business is
the manufacture of shoe-pegs?an insignificant
business it would seem, but important
enough to be a distinct and interesting industry.
The pegs are made of birch wood, which
cnmM rn the mill in lrurs a foot or two lone in
diameter, and these are peeled and cut into
slices of the length of the pegs to be made.
The sections then pass through a machine,
which points the pegs, there being from 20,000
to 30,000 in each separate piece, and they
are then passed each way through the "splitter,"
which separates each individual peg.
After being dried in a revolving heated drum,
and cleaned in a revolving sifter, they are
ready for market, and the four or five men in
the factory make from twenty to thirty bushels
a day, according to the size of the peg.?Boaton
Journal.
Tiie Day You were Born.?Here is an
infallible method of discovering the day of
the week on which a given day of the month
any number of years previous occurred. To
the number representing your age at your
next birth day, add one-fourth for leap years ;
this amount divided by seven, and the remainder
counted back from the day of the
week on which you were born. For instance,
on your next birth day you will be twentyfour
years old. This divided by four, aud
the quotient, six, added to twenty-four, gives
thirty, the amount, which divided by seven,
the number of days in the week, gives four
weeks, and the remainder of two days. Now,
if your birth day in 187(5 comes on Monday,
count back two days and you have the day
on which you were born, Saturday.
AST The mooted question as to whether
toads eat bees has been settled by M. Brunet,
a writer in La Nature, who asserts that, going
into his garden one day, just before a !
storm, he observed the bees crowding into !
their hives. Near one of these hives was a
toad which every now and then rose on his
forelegs and made a dart, with surprising
quickness, towards blades of grass. He was !
found to be devouring bees which were rest-1
ing on grass blades awaiting their chance to
enter the hive. M. Brunet waited until twelve |
victims had been devoured, expecting to see ;
the toad's voracity punished with a sting, but j
no such result occurred. The toad was twice |
removed to quite a distince from the hives, j
but both times he returned to the spot in a
few hours.
How to Choose Flour.?In selecting
flour, first look to the color. If it is white, j
with a straw colored tint, buy it. If it is
white, with a bluish cast, or with white specks
in it, refuse it. Second, examine its adhesiveness?wet
and knead a little of it between
your fingers; if it works soft and sticky, it is
poor. Third, throw a little lump of dried |
flour against a smooth surface; if it falls,
like powder, it is bad. Fourth, squeeze some ;
of the flour tightly in your hand; if it retains!
the shape given by the pressure, that too, is
a good sign. It is safe to buy flour that will
stand all these tests. These modes are giv6a_j
by all old flour dealers, and they pertain to a
matter that concerns everybody?the staff of j
life. ~ I

CONDUCTED BT
REV. ROBERT LATH A 1ST. (
[Original.] (
THE TEN YIRGINS.-Matt. xxv: 1-13. 1
Id all the parables, the Saviour had a par- i
ticular doctrine which he designed to enforce. '
Usually, this is stated in some part of the par- t
able in plain language, so that there is gen- i
erally no chance to mistake the main design. 1
In the parable of the "Ten Virgins," the *
design in view is stated in these words:
"Watch, therefore, for ye know not, neither
the day nor the hour wherein the son of man J
corueth." By the expression, "son of man <
cometh," we are to understand not the iucar- ;
nf o?n nf ftnH nnr the offer of sal- '
vation through his peace-speaking blood. In }
other words, we are not to understand by the f
coming of the son of man, the time when he !
will come, God manifest in the flesh, nor the
time wheu he will begin to offer salvation to
sinners.
A little attention to the general structure
of the parable will enable one to discover
that two classes of the human family are addressed.
The one class is called wise, the
other foolish. By the coming of the son of
j man, we are to understand the continuation
of a merciful dispensation. By the marriage
spoken of in the parable, we are to understand
that state of blessedness which we call heaven.
One idea which is brought out plainly in
the parable, is that a period will arrive in the
history of each one of Adam's race, when all
opportunity to prepare for heaven will cease.
At death the offer of pardon ceases. Then
the son of man comes to reward according to
the deeds done in the body, whether good or
bad. No doubt, in some cases, God's convicting,
converting and sanctifying spirit ceases
?j ? i_ i? c *l- :
to Strive witn luaiviuuais ueiure me juurucj
of life is complete. There is do inseparable
connection between the offers of pardon and
the duration of the present life. No doubt f
God says now, of many, as he said ofEphraim
of old: "He is joined to his idols?let him c
alone." Whenever God says this, the son of \
man comes to shut the door of his grace. a
Five of the virgins spoken of iu the para- j
ble were wise and five were foolish. By the '
word "virgins," we are to understand profess- p
ors of religion. All the individuals spoken ^
of eujoyed privileges, and in some way, to all 8
human appearances, were preparing for the [
arrival of the bridegroom. All were profes- i
sed Christians, but five only were wise; the *
other five were foolish. t
The difference in their conduct consisted in j
one siugle thing. All went out to meet the 1
bridegroom, and all nodded and slept, all I
took lamps, all took vessels to hold oil. So i
far as human discernment could perceive, a
there was really no difference. There was, t
however, a great difference. The wise, or ^
forethoughted virgins took oil in their ves- c
sels to replenish their lamps, whilst the foolish
virgins took no oil except what was in
their lamps. 1
The point brought clearly to view by this J
apparently slight neglect, is that some pro- 1
fessed Christians have the root of the matter ^
in thera, whilst others, having a name to live []
are in reality spiritually dead. Some professed
Christians have been converted while
others have only been convicted. They have
never been born again. Both classes nodded
and slept. In the one class it was the sleep
of inconsistency. In the other it was the sleep
which, precedes death. To the former class ]
the Saviour says, "Watch. Wake up from
your inconsistent slumber and prepare to
meet the bridegroom, prepare for heaven, be
co-workers with God's sanctifying spirit." To f
the latter class he says, "Watch. Wake up. '
The time will soon come when pardon and p
forgiveness will cease to be offered through j
the blood of the Lamb of God."
When the bridegroom approached, all the |
virgins awoke. God, in his mercy, wakes up j,
all who believe in his Son, before they slumber
into a world of woe, and usually, in some ?
way or other, the mere professor is aroused is
from his slumbers; but often, when it is for- j
ever too late. Multitudes will be aroused Y
from their spiritual slumbers only to find out
that "the summer is past, and the harvest is c
ended, and they are not saved." When the (_
cry was raised that the bridegroom was com- o
ing and all were ordered out to meet him, the t
irwjiok mil-nine fnr the first. time, found out I
.w. ?
that they had do oil io their vessels. They
had never thought of this thing. Just so it
is with many professed Christians; they never q
try to find out whether or not they have- aoy s
religion. All they think about is a mere profession?a
name to live, but in reality they (
are dead. When the foolish virgins discov- S
ered that their lamps were gone out, or going 1
out, they immediately began to beg the wise f
virgins for a supply of oil with which to re- g
plenish their torches. They did not receive 1
it. There are some things a man can not ob- _
tain of his fellow men, neither by begging
nor borrowing. We can borrow a man's
money, but we cannot borrow his faith, repentance
or any Christian grace. A friend
may make us heir to his property, but no
man can give ub a new heart.
When the bridegroom came, the wise virgius
entered into the marriage and the door ?
was shut. The foolish virgins had gone off
in search of oil. When they came back, the I
door was shut and they were positively re- J
fused admittance. What door was shut ? I
The door of grace I That door which stands j j
so wide open to-day that the vilest sinner
may enter?that door through which every
repenting rebel may enter and live, will, one
day, be shut. It will be bolted in the face
of all hypocrites and unbelievers, never again
to be opened.
By "kingdom of heaven," as used in this
purable, we are to understand the visible
church. Of the vast multitude who hold
membership in the church here upon earth,
only a part are wise?the rest are foolish.
Only part will enter heaven. When the rest
are called from time to eternity they will then
discover that they have no oil in their vessels?no
?race in their hearts?no kingdom
of God within them.
Practically, to all intents and purposes, the _
bridegroom will come to all now living upon J
the earth, in less than one hundred years?to :
the great majority, in less than one-third of
that time. Then the door of grace will be {
shut. All who have the kingdom of God v
within there will be safe to sin no more, and g
all who have not the kingdom of God within them
will be lost to hope no more. -,
When properly understood, the parable of j J
the ten virgins is one of the most startling j i;
passages in the whole Bible. Who can con- ?
template, without intense feeling, the scene
which will take place when God shuts the j _
door of mercy ? The gospel rejector and j
hypocrite will be asked why they have not on j
a wedding garment? Why they are not there a
with their sins pardoned and clad in the right- _
eousness of the Lamb of God? They will i
be speechless. Their tongues will cleave to J
the roofs>ofvtheir mouths, and their lips will 8
be sealed in eternal silence so far as making
my excuse is concerned. To-day God per
mits, in his long suffering, multitudes to say
I have bought a piece of ground?I must go
to see to it. I have bought five yoke of
oxen?I must try them. I have married a
wife, and under such circumstances we cannot
come to Jesus; but God's long suffering
will soon come to an everlasting end and the
(inner will be unable to give any reason for
sot being saved by the blood of Jesus.

seventy distinguished divines and authors, of both Europe and
