The Custer Mining Company, of Ihaho, la making a very extensive collection of ores for exhibition t the Fair. Foreign participation in the Fair so far as ascertained up to the present, embraces seventy-two nations and provinces. Canada has been given 68.471 square feet of space in the various buildings, exclusive of space yet to be granted in the agriculture and live stock departments. The Suffolk Horse Society, England, has offered two gold medals, of the value $5) each, for the best Suffolk horse aui mare or filly exhibited at toe World’s Fair in Chi cago. The Women's Christian Temperance Union wants to put up a building, 70x100 feet, in the Exposition grounds, in which to exhibit the entire system of its worn and to conduct a cafe for the sals of temperance drinks. The city of Cincinnati wants to erect a building at the Exposition, to be usel botn as a club house and receptacle for a munici pal exhibit. It is willing to expand 131,000 in the undertaking. Lieutenant Baker, of the Marine Sec tion of the Department of Transportation, has secured a promise from the Detroit Dry Dock Company for an exhibit of a perfect model iu stucco of the entire ship-building plant of the company, both at its Detroit and Wyandotte yards. The Grecian Government has agreed to make and send to the Exposition casts of the principal works of ancieut art now in Greece, together with maps, diagrams and photographs. To these will probably be aided casts, and perhaps some of the originals of specimens of classic Greek art whica are now distributed throughout Exrope. Seven of the World’s Fair building are now so far advanced that they are fast as suming the appearance of finished struc tures. These buildings are the Woman’s, Horticulture, Transportation, Mines, Ad ministration. Forestry an 1 Fis leries. Five more—the Government, Fine Arts, Agricul ture, Dairy and Illinois State—are erects 1 to the roof lines. The Electricity, MmuJac- tures and Machinery buildings are being ai- vanced rapidly. A joint bill has been introduced in Con gress, carring an appropriation of S18.0JJ, “To procure, prepare, compile for publica tion and publish statistics of the moral, in tellectual and industrial progrese of the colored people of toe United States from January 1, 1863, the date of emancipation proclamation, to January 1, 1893, as a part of the Government exhibit, the same to illus trate the growth of liberty, morality and humanity of the United State?.” English women are active in preparation for their participation in the Exposition At a meeting of the woman’s committee in Lon ion, on March 3d, it was announced that Queen Victoria had promised specimens of her own work in spinning and knitting, done when she was a girl; also some of her em broidering, tine drawing and water-color painting. Princess Louise will contribute some clay modeling. Princess Beatrice sev eral paintings, and Princess Christian some embroidery. The Maryland World’s Fair Board is plan ning to show in the Maryland building a re production of the surrender of his commis do a by George Wasnington. The report of the Board to the Legislature asking for an appropriation of £100,000 states “It has been suggested by His Excellency the Gover nor, and the suggestion has met with much favor, that the old Senate Chamber of the State House be reproduced in our building, and that a group of thirty-two figures be made to represent the surrendering by Washington of his commission, which toox place in that historic halL Such a tableau would attract many visitors and serve as a feature of great interest.” PROMINENT PEOPLE.

None will have us, Lord, but Thee; And we want none but Jesus, And His grace that makes us free. "We come to Thee, sweet Saviourl With our broken faith again; We know Thou wilt forgive us, Nor upbraid us, nor complain. We come to Thee, sweet Saviour! It is love that makes us come; We are certain of our welcome. Of our Father’s welcome home. We come to Thee, sweet Saviour! For to whom. Lord, can we go? The words of life eternal From Thy lips forever flow. "We come to Thee, sweet Saviourl We have tried Thee oft before; But now we come more wholly. With the heart to love Thee more. We come to Thee, sweet Saviour! And Thou wilt not ask us why; We cannot live without Thee. And still less without Thee die. — [Faber. go and do it. Go and do it now, this moment, instantly.

Not slothful in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord. Diffuse life, light and glory; scatter widely the seeds of ben evolence. “Wash you, make you clean, cease to do evil, learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow;” in a word, follow the golden rule, keep thyself unspotted. Any thing more, any thing less? Go and do It. I AM THE WAY. Who? Jesus Christ. Whence? B'rom sin, woe, hell. Whither? To holiness, joy, heaven. How? By his perfect obedience, atoning blood, and new creating Spirit. Is there any other way? Not one. Said Peter, by the Holy Ghost', “neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must he saved.” Cannot then morality save us? Nor Alms? Nor penance? Nor masses? Nor priestly dispensations? Nor the merits of saints? Most certainly not. Are not the words of God just cited, plain? Are they not explicit? Need any man misunderstand them? Will any man peril his soul, by per verting or neglecting them? Wuat more than madness!

We must not Implore for things to pamper appetites, promote our own ease and indulgence, or the worldly prosperity of our families. We must not petition for ob jects that will not increase our spirituality, Christian activity and carefulness. We must have a supreme regard for the glory of God in all we ask of Him. “He cannot consistently bear us when we cry to Him for things he has revealed he cannot consistently with his glory grant.” It is an insult to God to ask him for what he has told us he cannot and ought not to give. Such prayers are an abomination in the sight of a benevolent God. “He will not regard the prayers of those who supplicate for things without using the means necessary for their attainment.” God helps those who help th inselves. He con fers blessings through human instrumen tality. We must do bur part, or God will withhold his aid. “It is inconsistent for God to hear the prayers of those who pray without relying on the blood and righteousness of Christ.” All the blessings conferred on us are the purchase of the atoning Saviour. We must plead his righteousness and Hie ereat atone ment He has made. “Benold. O God, our shield, and look upon the face of thine annointed.” THE.CONDITIONS OF EFFECTUAL PRAYER. “And all things, whatsoever ye believe,” etc. Have we not sometimes been tempted to think that here, at least, is a case in which our Lord has not literally and always kept his word? in which we do not get quite so much as the plain English of the promise might lead us to expect? If so, well may he say to us, “Do ye riot therefore err, because ye know not the Scriptures, neither the power of God?” This marvelous “Whatso ever” depends upon five great conditions, and if we honestly examine we shall find that every case of seeming failure in the promise can be accounted for by our own failure in one or more of these: (1) “Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do.” Keally, not verb ally only, in the name of Jesus; "asking not in our own name at all; signing our peti tion, as it were.with bis name only; coming to the Father by our Advocate, our Repre sentative. Do we always ask this? (2) ’“Believing that ye shall receive.” The faith-heroes of old “through faith * * * obtained promises,” and there is no new way <xf obtaining them. Is it any wonder that, when we stairger at any promise of God through unbelief, we do not receive it? (3) “If ye.abide in me, and my words tibide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” Ah, here is a de-eper secret of asking and not having, be cause we ask amiss. And this leads us to seethe root of our failure in another condi tion. (4) “Whatsoever we ask, we receive of him. because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in His sight” Only as we are abiding in him can we bring forth the fruit of obedience. (5) “If we ask unvtning according to His will. He heareth us.” When what we ask is founded on a promise or any written evi dence of what the will of the Lord is, this is comfortingly clear. But what about peti tions which may or may not be according to His will* isuretly. then, the condition can only be fulfilled by a complete Blending of our own will with His. Two comforting thouirtb* .arise: First, the very consciousness of our failure in these conditions shows us the wonderful kindness aud mercy of cutr King, who ha* answered so many a prayer in spite it of according to His own heart, and not according to our lulfili®Ber)t, giving us of His royal bounty that te which we had forfeited all shadow *>f claim; secondly, that he who knowetb our frame knows also the possibilities of His grace, and would never tantalize ns by offering magnificient gifts on imiiossible conditions. Will he give him a stone'? Would an earthly parent? Would you? Therefore the very annexing of these in trinsically most bles-ed condition* implies that His grace is sufficient for their fulfill ment, and should lure u* on to a blessed life of faith, abiding in Jesus, walking iu obedience unto all piea-ing. and a will pos- ses'ed of his own divine will —[Frances Ridley Havergal.

Out of 70,000 British tnops iu India 18,- •XX) are teetotalers. Sir Frederick Roberts himself says that “for every 5000 teetotalers enrolled, the strength of tae Britisn army is practically increased by another battalion ” Tae authorities in Iniia make an annual grant of 8000 rupees for temperance work, and give the use of a room in every corps for meetings, as well as allowing refresh ment bars to be opened, the profits of which go to temperance worz, so that the men are enco iraged in every way to remain true to their pledge. THE OCCASIONAL GLASS. It is difficult to convince many otherwise excellent people that there is any harm in taking an occasional glass of wine or other intoxicating beverage at the table or else where. They never drink to excess, it is said, aud why should they deprive themselves of a harmless indulgence because other men are too weak to control their appetites. This is the usual argument, but in the present situation of things at least it is a cruel, sel fish, unr lanly and unchristian argument. It is tie old cry in a new form. “Am I my brother’s keeper?” St. Paul answered this most effectively when he said, "If meat make brother to offend, 1 will eat no flesn whl’.e the world standeth.” There is true manliness in this, the true Christ-spirit. “I will deny myself,” the apostil might have added, “even so harmless and so important an article of food as meat, if the eating of it shall cause my brother to stumble and fall into sin. It is not absolute ly essential that I should eat meat to sustain my life. There are plenty of other kinds of food good and wholesome, to which I may resort. I will restrict myself to these if by so doing I can save a single one of my fellow- men from a life of sin and shame.” Would that the moderate drinker would apply such Heart logic as this to himself. —Sacred view. Rn- PETITION BY TEMPERANCE WOMEN. The petition of the World’s Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, for the pro tection of the home, addressed to the Gov ernments of the world, reads as follows: Honored Rulers, Representatives and Brothers—We, your petitioners, although belonging to the physically weaker sex, are strong of heart to love our homes, our native land, and the world’s family of nations. W e knpw that clear brains and pure hearts make honest lives and happy homes, and that by these the nations prosper, and the time is brought nearer when the world shall be at peace. We know that indulgence in alcohol and opium aud in other vices which disgrace oar social life makes misery for all the world, and most of all for us and for our children. We know that stimulants and opiates are sold under legal guarantees which make the Govern ments partners in the traffic by accepting as revenue a portion of the profits, and we know with shame that they are often forced by treaty upon populations either ignorant or unwilling. We know that the law might do much, now left undone, to raise the moral tone of society and render vice diffi cult. We have no power to prevent these great iniquities beneath whicn the whole world groans, but you have power to redeem the honor of the nations from an indefen sible complicity. We therefore come to you with the united voices of representative women of every land, beseeching you to raise the standard of the law to that of Christian morals, to strip away the safe guards and sanctions of the State from the drink traffic and the opium trade, and to protect our homes by the total prohibition of these curses of civilixaticxi throughout all the territory over which your Government extends. A YEAR’S DRINKING IN The United Kingdom^^■ance has, ac cording to its annual published a ■statement of the amount m^piines, spiritu ous liquors and beer cunsmned in Great Britain and Ireland duriag the -year 1891, and it shows the bill f«r intoxicants to be a pretty stiff one. The total spent in in toxicating drinks during the twelve months was considerably over SJOO.OOJ.O.IG—an aver age of £18 for every man, woman and child in the country, or £93 tor every family in the course of the year. The bill for 1891 was nearly £9,000,000 greater than the bill for 1890, but this increase was not more than what would naturally arise from the increase of population. And from the circumstance of this slight increase, coupled probably with other reasons net mentioned, the Alli ance report takes the sanguine view that “the tendency te increase will now give place to a tendency in an opposite direc tion.” There are some features brought out in the report that are in teresting. There has been a very marked decline, for example, in the consumption of foreign and colonial spirits, the deficit in this respect being made np by the far greater consumption of home-made spirits aud beer. There was £6,670,000 worth more of home-made spirits and £5,650,000 worth more of beei disposed of in 1891 than there was in 1890. The home-made spirits are very much cheaper, of course, than imported wines and spirits, and the presumption from the above-mentioned feature of the drinking bill is that the bibulousness of the poorer or working sections of the community had in creased. Readers of the Times-Democrat have probably in a general way a rough knowl edge of the kinds of intoxicating drinks that are most tashionable in the different coun tries of the United Kingdom, spirits being the “weakness” in Scotland and Ireland, and beer in England. But while that is quite the case, there is perhaps not one of our readers who has an idea of the extent to which Eng lishmen make away with beer. Germans have had the reputation of being good beer- drinkers, and both Frenchmen and Amer icans have within the last few years shown that both their nationalities are developing a decided taste for the beverage; but notone of tne beer-drinking nations is “in it” along side the Englishman. .In the twelve months ot 1891, England, unaided either by the Scotsman or the irishman, consumed the astounding .quantity of £392,000,(MX) worth of beer! This gives £70 worth of the beverage to every English family per annum, and pats John Bali in the easy and undisputed pos session of the beer-muzzling record among the nations. * TEMPERANCE NEWS AND NOTES. California brandy, according to Senator Standford, is made “to save the wine which would “spoil.” General Booth, of the Salvation Array, says that nine-tenths of the evil that he has to light against is the social department of his work is caused by drink. According to statistics the breweries of the world consume yearly 4,000. <XX) tons of barley and 70,000 tons ot hops. British breweries consume 56,000,000 tons of barley and 70,000 tons of sugar. England is known as a “bright little, tight little island,” and it must have been very tight last year after consuming its share of the 142,250,000 pounds sterling worth of alco holic drink which represents Great Britain’s “jag” for 1891. Mrs. Hitchcock, President of the Nebraska Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, writes that they have the names of 8000 children on the pledge cards, wnich will be used to decorated the wnite riobon departs dent of the Columbian Exposition. At a certain intersection of streets in Phiia deu)hia there is a saloon on one corner, a doctor’s office and a drugstore on a second, an undertaker’s establishment on a third and a burying ground opposite. The Ledger calls triis “a model arrangement.” The Templars’ Standard, South Africa, devotes nearly two pages to a graphic ac count of a meeting held by “two American ladies” (Mrs. Elizabeth Wheeler Andrew and Dr. Kate Bushnelh, as a result of which a Woman’s Christian Temperance union was formed in Johannesburg numbering sixty members. Those who advocate the use of light wines as a preventive of drunkenness, and point to France as an illustration, should read an article in a recent issue ot the Petit Jouraa’, Paris, which declares that of all the dangers menacing the agricultural population of France the gravest au i most diiScBit to fight is alcohol power. A Yentriloquist’s Throat Professor R. H. Mohr, the ventrilo quist, went through a strange experience the other day. In one of the laboratories of the Harvard Medical School he sub mitted to an examination of his throat and chest by a nunaber of physiological experts, to determine what special for mations gave him his peculiar powers. The experts are uncommunicative con cerning the results of the examination, and the professor, who is not a physiolo gist at all, did not learn much about him self. “They put mirrors down my throat,” he said. “They led me by narrow pas sages into a dark chamber, and what they did there I don’t know. After it was all over they told me that my larynx was flatter than that of other men and shaped something like a woman’s, and also that one of the stops in my throat was drawn downward instead of upward by the connecting muscles. “I can’t make much out of that ex planation, but I cau make a living out of my peculiar throat just the same.” Then the professor threw his voice un der tho table and laughed hoarsely.— Boston Herald. Question* Often Asked. . "What is Alabastine? . Alabastine is a durable coating for walls and ceiling $ nngs. . Is it the same as kalsomines? A. It is entirely different from all other prep arations on the market. Q. Wherein does it differ from these kalso mines on the market? A. It is made from a cement that goes through a process of setting on the wall, and grows harder with age. Q. What are kalsomines made from? A. From whitings, chalks, clavs or other inert powders for a base, and are entirely dependent upon glue to hold them on the wall. Q. Why do kalsomines rub and scale? A. Because the glue, being animal matter, decays in a short time by exposure to air ana moisture, and the binding qualities of the material are then gone. Q. Does the Alabastine contain any injurious substance? A. Alabastine has been most carefully tested, and is recommended by leading sanitarians throughout the country, on account of its sanitary’ nature. Q. What has the same investigation shown regarding wall paper? A. Sanitarians condemn in strong terms the use of wall paper for walls of living rooms on account of the poison used in its manufacture. Q. Can anything but plain work be done with Alabastine ? A. Any kind of work, from plain tinting to the most elaborate decorating can be done. Q. How can I learn to do this work and dec orate my house? A. By writingthe Alabastine Company.Grand Rapids. Micb., for book of instructions and suggestions, and illustration of stencils; also showing six sets of tinted wall designs. Sent free.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and tbat is catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a con stitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure Is taken in ternally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby de stroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

It starts the torpid liver into health ful action, purines and enriches the blood, cleanses, repairs, and strength ens the system, and restores health and vigor. As an appetizing, re storative tonic, it sets at work all the processes of digestion and nu trition, and builds up flesh and strength. For all scrofulous humors and blood - taints, and even Consump tion (or Lung - scrofula), if taken in time, it’s a positive remedy. Unlike the sarsaparillas, which claim to be good for the blood in March, April, and May, “ Golden Medical Discovery ” works equally well at ail seasons. Unlike other blood-purifiers, too, it’s guaranteed to benefit or cure, in every case, or your money is re turned. On these terms, it’s the cheapest. You pay only for the good you get. But it’s the best—or it couldn’t be sold so. N Y N V—Vi Soils! Pimples!
