Some Pythagorean Hysterics. -
- } Every lover of rare aad carious in
formation knows that most of the anoieats
were "dead set"' against bean?, but no
? modern uaraveller of old-time mysteries
knows why. It may be truly said that
there are bat few philosophers <>t the
present day that "know txstn^.'' Pythag
oras admonished his pupils t--> "abstain
? from beans," but on what grounds 50 ;
one knows. He was al-:o authority (tr
the old-time suoerstitiou that any sen- |
tence written in bean juice could be ^een
plainly reproduced on the "disk of the
moon! Andrew Long says that the
ancient fo'k-loje of be:?&s is & most
curious and interesting topic, because it
_ * seems wholly ou; of the question that
. 'tre should ever understand what it was
all about. Demetcr was the patroness of
all frmis and vegetables, but the ancients
considered it impious to attribute to her
the discovery of the bean. Heraclides,
on the authority of Orpheus, declared
that beans buried in manure piles forth
with became human beings. ? St. Louis

warmly, but not too heavily. Continue
to wash yourself in this manner every

wash over the entire body with cold
water aj rapidly as possible. 'After this
complete lavation,* proceeds the old

MANAGEMENT OF ROADS IS WINTER.
The breaking of roads in deep snow
Is best done by drawing a heavy roller
over the snow. This packs down the

The rollers are covered by a frame hav
.ng a seat for the driver and assistants
ind for the tools that may be needed in
iny emergency, such as shovels, blankets
for the horses and for the men, if t:ie
weather becomes very cold. At suitable
distances turnouts should be made, where

that a meeting may not be made in a

, WANTED, beiter plotwes.
It is Irardly too much to say that good
plowing is*he foundation of gooi farm
ing. In the good olu times, when State
and county fairs were novelties, plowing
matches were frequent and popular. We
had poorer plows, perhaps, but in many
sections, at least, we certainty had better
plowmen. Fannere' sorts competed at
ti e plowing matches, and Scotch and j
Eajish plowmen astonished us by the
skillful manner in whiqh they turned
straight and regular lap-furrows. 4iBut,"
we asked, "what is the good?" In our
climate, and with moder.i harrows, pul
verizers, and grain drills, such furrows
are seldom, of any special benefit, while
frequently a fiat wide furrow will better

laiier. ajn i ire t in the croos. - He was j
the best plowman who could tarn over
two or three acre> a day. Perhaps we
plow too wide a furrow, but there is not
much possibility of our plowing narrower
unless we use plows that will turn two or
three furrows at once.
But we need better plowing. Look at
many of our fields of oats and barley any
year. It is not too much to s-ay that a
really clean field is an exception, while
patches of thistle are the rule. They
are a grrpving evil. Notwithstanding
the hdi iJuit we have better implements

ada thist%s are on the increase, and the
reason is -jtfcgely poor plowing. With
out desiri^To go into details, we would
like to ssK every iarmcr to look carefully
to his piow points. The plow goes in on

to a bkrd spot it slides over, and there,

observation, especially of tender plants,
I have found that the effects of frost
vary in proportion to their more or less
watery uatuie and to the condition in
rcsrard to moisture overhead and at the
O r
roots in which they may happen to be at
the time when they get frozen. Some
plants will bear cold to an aimost in
credible extent, provided water is with
held. On this point I am. sustained by a
well-known English authority, who tells
of having seen large examples of Agave
Americana that have s'ood in pots for a
whole year or more without water until
their leaves became sb riv^H^i^bear as

J kinds of Echeveria are m like rfonaer in

But this condition of dryness m=*y
easily be pushed too far in t le case of

i are grown in pots and which if the soil
i has been allowed to get su dry that they
are in a stagnant, feebie state, are often !
killed by cold, when ir the roots had
been in a more moist condition little in
jury would have resulted. Tui$ applies
more particularly to plants of a n^n-suc
culent character, such as ferns a ad iitany

will bear several degrees of frost when
the soil is in a half ra list state, but if
dry when frozen it rarely recovers.
Numbers of other plants might be
named that are very susceptible to injury
from frost whea the soil in which their
roots are placed is too dry, thus showing !
that although tn my plants will bear a

Kerosene is one of the best materials
to apply in the hen roosts to clear them
of lice; apply it liberally with a brush.
In nearly all cases a combination of
early chickens for market with eggs in
season will pay better than either one
alone.
Near a good market ducks can often
be made more profitable than chickens,
especially wheu an incubator is used in
hatching.
To produce a large market fovl, one
that fattens readily an J is easily con
fined, cross a Brahma cock with partridge
Cochin hen.
X A breed that may be best in one
locality will not always prove best in an
other. Select according to locality as
well as purpose.
Coal .ashes arc goo I to scatter under
the roosts. The objection to wood
allies is that they "are too caustic, often
injuring the feet.
Unless they are provi-ted with quarters
something better than the average, it is
a positive cruelty to pick either ducks or
geese duriog the winter.
While ducks will usually begin to lay
1 early in tlie season, it is not best to have
them hatch until spring. They do not
tbrivein cold, damp weather.
Posting two or three thicknesses of
paper over the cracks on the in?ide will
add considerably to the warmth of the
poultry house. It is cheap and elective.
On the farm, under average conditions,
it does not co^t any more to raise a pound
of turkey than it does to raise a pound
of fork, and the turkey biiugs the best
price.
Wa en cooked vegetables cannot be se
cured and feci to good advantage in the
poultry yafd a good" plan is to take well
cured clover liar, run it through a cut
ting box, scald throughly and then

Text: "And He, came down xcith their,
and stood in tfuplaha." ? Luke vi., 17
Christ on the mountains is a frequent
study, We have* seenJHira on the Mount of
Olives, Mount of Beatitudes. Mount Moriah,
Mount Calvary, Mount of Ascension, and it
is gjorious to study Him on these great nat
ural elevations. But how is it tliat never be
fore have we noticed Him on the plain -
Amid the rocks, high up on the mountaiu,
C hrist had passed the night, bat now, at ear
ly dawn, He is coming down with some es
pecial friends, stepping from shelving to
shelving, here and there a loosened s;ou<
rolling down the steep sides ahead of Him,
until He gets in a level place, so that He can
fce approached without climbing from al)
sides. He is on the level. My "text says.
"He came down with there and stood in th'*
plain."
Now that is w> at the world wants to-day
mere than anything else ? a Christ oa th'e
ievel, easy to get at, no ascending, no de
scending, approachable from all sides
Christ on the plain. The question among all
consecrated people to-day is;. What is the
matter with the ministers? Many of them
are engaged in picking holes in the Bible and
apologizing for this and apologizing for
that. In an age when the whole tendency is
to pay too little reveren?e to the Bible, tEH'
are fighting against Bibliolatrv, or too mucia <
reverence for the Bible. They are buildin*
a fence on the wrong side of the road; not
on the side where the precipice is and off /
wh;ch multitudes are falling, but on the
upper side of the road, so that people wjfl
not fall uphill, of which there is no dangej\
There is no more danger cf Bibliolatry* <v
too much reverence for the Scriptures, than>
there is that astrology will take the place of \
astronomy, or alchemy the place of chemi*; 5
try, or the canal boat the place of the lim
ited express rail train. TV hat a theological
farce it is; ministers fighting against too
much reverence for the Scriptures; ministers
making apology for the Scriptures; ministers
pretending to be friends of the Bible, yet
doing the Book more damage than all the
blatant infidels on all the earth. The trouble
is oar theologian* are in in the mountain
in a fight above the clouds about things
which they do not understand. Come down
on the plain and stand besid9 Christ, who
never preached a technicality or a didacti
cism. What do you, O wis? headed ecclesi
astic, know about the decrees of Goi? Who
cares a fig abont your sublaosarianism or
your supralaparinuism?
What a spectacle we have in our denomi
nation to-day? committees tryiug to patch
up an old creed made two or three hundred
years ago, so that it will fit on the Nine -
teenth century. Why do not our millinery
establishments take out of the garrets the
coal scuttle hats which your great-grand
mothers wore and try to fit theai on the head *
ot the modern maiden? You cannot fix u;>
a three-hnndred-year-old cree 1 so as to fit
our time. Princeton will sew 011 a little
piece, and Union seminary will sew on a lit
tle piece, and Alleghany serninarv and Dan
ville seminary will sew on other pieces, and
the time the creed is done it will be as varie
gated as Joseph's coatpf many colors.
'1 hmk of having to change an old creed to
make it clear that all infants dying go to
heaven! I am so glad that the committees
are going to let the babies in. Thank-you.
So many of them are already in that all the
bills of heaven look like a Sunday -schooljm
niversary. Now what is^he useof fixingup
a creed which left any dowrt on that sub
let? No man ever doubted that all infants
dying go to heaven, unless he be a Herod or
a t_ harles Guiteau. 1 was oppose i to over
hauling the old creed at a!), but now that it
has been lifted up and its imperfections set
up in the sight of the world, I say, Over
board with it and make a new creed.
There are to-day in our denomination five
hundred men who could make a better one.
I could make a better one myself. As we
arc now in process oi: changing the creed,
and no one knows what we are expected to
believe, or will two or three years hence be
expected to believe, I could not wait, and so
I have made a creed of my own which I in
tend to observe the rest of my life. 1 wrote
it down in my memorandum book some six
months ago, and it reads as follows; "My
creed: The glorious Lord. To trust Him,
love Him and obey Hfm is all that is re
quired. To that creed 1 invite all mankind.
T. De Witt Talmage."
The reason Christianity has not made
more rapid advance is because the people
are asked to believe too many things. There
are, I believe, to-day millions of good Chris
tians who have never joined the church and
are not counted among the Lord's friends
bee use they cannot believe all the things
that they are required to believe. One-half
the things a man is? expected to believe in
order to enter the church and reach heaven
have no more to do with his salvation than
the question. How many volcanoes are there
in the moon? or, How far apart from each
other are the rings of Saturn? or, How
manv teeth there were in the jawbone with
which Sampson smote the Philistines? I be
lieve ten thousand things, but none of them
hnve anything to do with my salvation ex
cept these two? I am a sinner and Christ
came to save me.
Musicians tell us that the octavj consists
only of five ton^s and two semitones, and all
the Handels ana Haydns and Mozarts and
Wagners and Schumannsof all ages must do
their work*" within the range of those five
tones and $#0 semitones. So I have to tell
you that all the theology that will be of
practical use in our word I is made oat of
the two facts of human sinfulness and
divine atonement. Wit'ihi that octave
swing "The Son? of Moses and the
Lamb," the Christmas chant above
Bethlehem and the Hallelujah of all the
choirs standing on sjas of glass.
Is there not some mode of getting out of
the way of these nonessentials, these super
fluities, these divergencies fro.n the main
issue? Is there not some way of bringing the
church down out of the mountain of con
troversy and conventionalism and to put it
on the plain where Christ stands? The pres
ent attitude of things is like this: In a famine
struck district a tablehas been provided and
1 is loaded with food enough for all. Tho
odors of the-meats fill the air. Everything
is ready. The platters are full. The chalices
are full. The baskets of fruit are full. Why
not let the people in? The door is open. Yes,
but there is a cluster of wise men blocking
up the- door, discussing the contents of the
caster standing midtable. They are shaking
their fiats at each other.
One says there is too much vinegar in that
caster, and one says there is too much sweet
oil. and another says there is not the proper
proportion of red p?ppei\ I say, "Get out
of the way and let the hungry "people come
ittrk, .Now our blessed Lord ha$ provided a
great supper, and the oxen and the fatlings
have been killed, and fruits from all the vine
yards and orchards-' of heaven crown the
table. The world has been invited to come,
and they look in, an 1 they arj hungry, and
t&e people would pour in by the miilions to
this worll wide table, but tQe door is blocked
up by controversies, and men with whole
libraries on their backs are disputing as to
what proportion of sweet- oil and cayenne
pepper should make up the ere id. I cry,
"Get out at the way and let the hungry
world come in."
The Christian church will cave to change
its tack or it will ruu on the rocks of dW^V
lition. lie world's population annually in- -
creases fifteen millions. No one pretends
that half that number o people are con
verted to God. There are more than twice
as many Buddhists as Protestants: more
than twice as many Buddhists as Roman
Catholics. Protestants, 135,000,000; Catho
lics, 195.000,000; Buddhists, 400. 000,000.
There are 175,000,000 Mohammedans and
2*^0,000,000 Brahmans.
Meanwhile, many of the churches are only
religious clubhouses, where a few people go
on Sunday morning, averaging one person
to a pew or one person to a half coz mi pews,
and leaving th<i minister at night to sweat
through a sermoTi with here and there a lon^
traveler, unless, by a Sunday evening sacred
cvneert, he can get out art audience of re
spectable size.
The vast majority of the church member
ship around the worl I put forth n > direct
effort for the salvation of men: 1 1 I say
there would have to be a chang^? 1 correct
that and sav. th^re will l?e a Whang.'. If
t here be fifteen minion persons at:e l every
year to the world's population, then there
will be thirty miluoa ad lei to the church,
and forty miiliou and ft* t v million and sixty
million. How will it be don1?1 It will be
done when the churcu will ,n Christ on
the plain. Come down cut o'J the mountain
of exclusivoness. Come down out of the
mountain o." pride. Come down out of the
irountain of formalism. .Comedown out of
the mountain of freezing and indifference.
Uid Dr; Stephen H. Tyng, great on -earth
j amnn heaven, once sa>d to me: ''I rn m
favor of a change. I do not know what is
' t-' ? best way of doing things in tae churches,
but I know the way we are doing now is not
thebest way, or the world would !>e nearer
its salvation than it seercs to bV So I feel;
so we all feeL that there needs to be a
change. The point at which we all come
short is presenting Carist on the plain, Christ
on the level with all the world's woes and
i , wants and necessities.
The full change will have to come from
the rising ministry. We n">w in the field
are too set in our ways. We are lutnberei
up with-t^akn:calr!rej. W e have too many
concordances an i dictionaries an I eaevclo
I aedias and systemi of theolozy on our head
i to get down on tto plain- Our vocabulary
i is too frosted. We are too much under the
domination of customs regnant for many
centuries. Come on, younytaneb of the
ministry. Take this pulpit, take all the
pulpits, and in the street, and the market
place, and the family circle preach Christ
on the plain. i ?>
As soon as the church says by its. attitude,
not necessarily by its words, "My one mis*
sion is to help for this life and help for the
life to come all the people," and it proves its
earnestness in the matter, people on foot and
; on horseback and in wagons and in car
riages will come to the church? in such
numbers that they will have to be met at the
| door by usaerg, saying: "You were here
| last Sunday; you 'cannot cottTi to-day.
(ienth men and ladies, you must take your
turn/' -1 s
And it will be as in the Johnstown freshet
and disaster, when a government station
was opened for the supply of bread, and it
took the officers of the law to keep the suf
ferers in line because of the great rush for
! food. Wheu this famine struck world real
| iz s that the church is a government station
set up by tbe government of the universe to
provide the bread of eternal life for all the
people, the rash will bs unprecedented and
unimaginable.
Astronomers iiave been busy measuring
vrorlda, and they liave Tol-i as how great is
the circumference of this world and how
great is its diamerer. yea, they have kept on
until they have weighed our planet and found
its weigfrtjto be six sextillion tons. But by
nosciencajias the weight of this world a
trouble "beta weighed. Now, Christ stand
ing on the level of our humanity stands in
sympathy with every trouble. Th^ere ars so
many aching h?a1s> His ach^l un ier th?
thorns. There are so many weary feat; His
were worn with the long journey up and
down the land that received Him not There
t are so many persecuted souls. Every hour
of His life was uuder human outrage. The
world had no better place to receive Him
than a cattle pen, and its farewell was a slap
on His cheek and a spear in His 6ide. So in
tensely human was He that there has not
been in all our rac3 a grief or infirmity or
exhcuatiou or pang? that did not touch Him
once and that does not touch Him now.
The lepers, the paralytics, the imbecile,
the manic, the courtesan, the repentant
brigand ? which one did He turn off, which
one did He not pity, which ope did He not
help? The universal trouble of the world is
bereavement . One may escape all the other
trouble*, but that no soul escapes. Out of
that bitter cup every one must take a drink.
For instance, in order that all might know
how He sympathizes with those wfco hav?
| lost, a daughter, Christ comes to the house of
Jarius. There Js such a big orowd around
the door He and His disciples have to push
their way in. Fro$i the throng of people 1
conclude" that this girl must have been very
popular. She was one of those children
whom everybody lues.
After Christ got in the house there was
such a loud weeping that the ordinary tones
of voice could not bs heard. I do not won
der. The dead daughter was twelve years
of age. It is about th^happiesfc tiins In
most lives. Very littie^Jdren suffer many
injustices because the^Bre children, and
childhood is not a desirable part of humau
existence?they gat whacked or set on. But
at twelve years o( ago the child has come to
self assertion and is apt to make her righto
known. And then, twelve years of age it
too early for the cares aud anxieties of life.
So this girl was, 1 think, the merriment of
the household. 8he furnished for them the
mimicty and the harmless mischief, aud
roused the guffaw that often rang through
that happy liome. But now she is dead, and
the grief at her departure is as violent as her
presence had been vivacious aud inspiriting.
Oh, the bereavement was S3 sharp, so over
whelming! How could they give her up!
i suspect that they blamed themselves for
.his or for that. Ob, if they had had some
other doctor, or taken some other nwdlciue, -
or had been more careful of her health, or If
they had not givan her that reproof som?>
time when she had not really desarvei it. II
they had been more patient with her hilari -
ties an J, instead of hushing Her play, had
participated in it? You know there are so
many things that parent* always blatna
themselves lor at suciTtiH^fs, Only twelve
years of age! So fair, so prtajnisingj so fuU
of life a few days ago, and aowvso still ! Oh,
wiiat it is to have a daughter dead! Tbe
room is full of folks, bu: yonder is the room
where the young sleeper is. The' crowd can
not go in there. Uuly six persons enter, fi''e
besides Christ? three'frlouds, and. of course,
the father and mother. Tliey have the first
right to go in. The heaviest part of tie
griei was theirs. Al eyes in that room ere
on the face of this gir! .
There lay the beauit'ul hand, White and
finely shapen, but it was not lifteljin greet
ing to any of tbe group. Christ stepped for
ward and took hold 'ot that hand and tidd,
with a tone and accentuation charged wltb
tenderness and rommaud, "Damsel, 1 sa}
uuio thee, arise!'' And without u uiumtiiit''
delay she arose, her eyes wide open, her '
cheeks turning from white lily to red rose;
and the parents cry . "She lives! She lives!"
and iu the next room they take up the soun l,
"She lives! She lives!" and the throng in
/front of the doorway repeat it, "She lives!
She lives!" Will not all those who have lost
a daughter feel that such a Christ urthat
can syropatbiz??
Christ on the plain. I care not from what
side you approach Him, you can touch Him
and get His help. Is it mental depression
you suffer? Remember Him who said, "My
Cod, Mv God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?'
Is it a struggle for bread? Remember Him
who fed the five thousand with two minnows
and '?five biscuit-, neither of the biscuits
larger than your fist. Is it chronic ailment?
Renember "the woman who for eighteen
years was bent almost double and He lifted
her face until she could look into the blue
sky. Are you a sailor and spend your life
battling with the tempests? Remember Htm
who flung the tempest of (ienesareth flat on
the crystal pavement of a quiet sea'.
That Christ is in sympathy with all who
have trouble with their eyes, and that is be
coaiin^ an almost universal trouble through
much reading ni rail cars, and tbe overpres
sure of the study in the schools where chil
dren are expected to l?e philosophers at ten.
boys and giris at fourteen wita spectacles.
I sofr with all such trouble Christ is in sym
pathy. Witness blind Bartimeus. Witness
the two blind men in the house. Witness
the two blind men near Jericho. Witness
the man born blind. Did He not tur? their
perpetual midnight into miduoon, till they
ran up and down clapping their hands 'and
. savin?. "I see! I see!"'
1 hat Christ is In sympathy with thoss who
stammer, or have silenced ear-, notice how
promptly He came to that man with impedi
ment of speech a t\d gave him command of
the tongue so thai he could speak with eas?,
ond, putting His fitfWr? into th-) ears, re
tuned the tympanum. Is there a iacK"%4
circulation in your arm, t'aiak of Him who
cured the defective circulation and the inac
tive muscles of a patient who had lo3t the
use of hand aud arfm, by saying, "Stretch
forth thy hand!" knd the veins and nerves
and muscles resumed their offices, ani
though in doing so the joints may have
cracked from lon? disuse, and there . 'may
have been a strange sensation from elbow to
finger tip, he stretched it forth ! And nota
j ing is the matter with you, but you may ap
peal to a sympathetic Christ. And if you
feel yourself to be a great sinn?r, hear what
He said to that repenting Magdalen, while
with a scalding sarcasm He dashed her hy
pocritical pursuers. J?
And see how He made an immortil liturgv
out of the publican's cry, \M3-od be merciful
to me a sinner," a prayer r> short th it tha
most overwhelmed offender can utter it, and
long enough to win cslestial dominions.
It was well put by a man who had bean con
verted, and who remembered that in his
di?solute days ha found it harl to ge:
occupation, because he could not j^res ;ut a
