KEV. DR. TALMAGE. Tl?e Ilrooklyn IMviito'g Sun day Kennon. SuiJeot : "Wlmt Trouble ls For." Th? ROT. T. De Witt Talmage, D. D., jroaohod te nm ovorflowlnr congregation *' lU? Brooklyn Academy of Music. i Before preaching ho enid that a ralstakoa lotion wan abroad that tho insurance on ht?* i?etroycd ohuroh was enough to rebuild. Tho. repetition of disasters loft us in debt, nd ?ave practically built three churches oinco Jj lame to Brooklyn. First, tho original Tabor ancle. Soon after that wo made nu enlarge, mont that cost almost as much as a church. A. few vears after it all burnell. Then WO put nu't he building recently destroyed, and reared it in a timo when tho wholo country was m its worst financial distress, it was those repeated disasters that t*fi\ ..o i jj ;';bt. My congregation havo lone maj?nitlcontlv, but any church would ba itt dobt after so many calamities. Now for tho first time wo aro ont of dobt. But wo ?ked ab least ono hundred thousand dollars to futid u ohureh largo enough, aud wo call Sh people of all creeds and all lands to help, efoforo I help dedicate a now church wo must have ?very dollar of it paid. I will nover again ba pastor of a church in dobt. It has crippled us in all our movemouts. and I ??ni! never again wear" tho shackles. I hove for tin '?st sixteen years proachod to ?bout .".MO people sitting and stand ins:, twio a Sabbath, but everybody knows tfmt wo nosd u placa that will hold 8000 I Sall not bo surprised lt /omo man of wealth all say: "Hore uro a $100:000 If you will ihit up a memorial structure, and call it after the mun o of "my departed father or child Whoso memory 1 want put before all nations ?nd for all time." And so it will bo done. TEXT: "God shall ipi})* away all (tars from their eyes."-Rev. vii., 17. Riding across a wostorn prairie, wild flowers up to tho hub of tho carrla'go wheol, and while a long distance from any shelter, t*iero c*r.".? a ??d??u shower, and while thu r?in was falling in torrents, tho sun was anteing as brightly as I over saw it shine; and I thought, what a beautiful spectacle inls is! So tho tears of tho Bible aro pWt midnight storm, but rain on pansied prairies in God's sweot and gobion sunlight. Ton remember that bottlo which David labeled as containing tears, and Mary's Mars, und Paul's tears, and Christ's friars, and tho harvest of joy that is to Hfrlng from tho sowing ot tears. Cod "pixes thom. God rounds them. Coil shows ti.<im where to fall. God exhales thom. A oar i-;ui is taken of thom, and there is a record es to the moment whoa they uro born, und as te tha pines of thoir grave. Tears of bini fien aro not kept. Aloxander, tn his Sorrow, an lbs hair clipped from his horses and l*alll?', Und tnado a grout ado about his grief; mit Iii all tho vasos of heaven Ibero is not ono ol Alexander's toors. J. spoak of the tours of $?io jtooit. Alu?! mo! they ?re falling ?ll trw ??'Al?- I? summer, you sometimos hoar thu Er?trlli^c thunder, and you soo thero is a c.Jior'm rjnlos away ; but you know from tho ?.rift ortho clouds that it will not como any where hoar you. So, though it may bo all ? Vi fill 1. around us, I hero is a sliowor of trouble ?ame/whero all tho timo. Tears! Tears 1 r?'\VTiat is tho uso of thom anyhow? Why Hfet substitute laughter? Why not mako this SVworld where all tho people aro well and eternal strangers lo pain and aches? What fs? tho u?o of nn cast oro storm when wo might iavo a perpetual nor'wester? Why, when a ?ainily is put together, not. have thom nil stay, or if they mus?- bo transplanted to maka other homes, then have them all live? tho fam ily record telling a story of marriages and births, but of no deaths. * Why not have tho harvests chaso each other without fatiguing toil? Why tho hard pillow, tho hard crust, tho hard struggle? It is easy enough to explain a smile, or a success, or a congratulation: but, como now, and bring nil your dictionaries and all your philosophies and all your religious, und help (ino explain a tear. A (diemist will tell you that it is mudo up of salt and limo and other component parts; but ho misses tho chief ingredients-tho acid of a soured life, tho viperino sting of a bittor memory, tho frag ments of a broken hoart. 1 will toll you what a tear is: it is agony in solution. Hem- mo, then, whuo I dlscourso to you o? tho usos of trouble. First-It is tho design of troublo to keop this world from hoing too attractive. Some thing ihust bo done to mako us willing to quio this existence. If it woro not for troublo tnjs wov' would be a good enough heaven for mo. You and 1 would.bo willing te tako aloaso of this lifo for a hundred million year* if thoro woro no troublo. Tho earth cush ioned and upholstered and pillared and chan deliorodwith such expense, no story of other Worlds could onchant us. Wo would say: *\Let well enough alone. If you want ip dio and havo your body disintegrated in tho dust, and your soul go out on a celestial adventure, then you cou go; but this world luVgood ouough for me." You might m? well m to a man who hos just entered tho louvre Ot Paris, and tell him to hasten off to tho picture galleries of Venice or Floronce. ?jWhy." ho would say, "what is tho uso of iny goiug thora? Thoro are Rombrandts and liuboUD and Raphaels hero that I haven't looked at yot." No mau wants to go out of this world, or out. of any house, until ho lins a bettor house. To euro this wish to stay here, Cod must somehow create a disgust for our surround ings, How shall Ho do it? Ho cannot afford to dofneo His horizon, or to tear off a fiery panel from tho sunset, or to subtract nn an ther from tho water lily, or to banish tho pungent aroma from tho mignonette, or to drag thu robes of tho morning in tho miro. jVou cannot expect a Christopher Wren to ?Y?V his own St. Paul's cathedral or a Mich Spl Angelo to dash out his own "bast udsinont,"orn Handel to discord his "Israel id Egypt," nnd you Cannot expect Clod to spoil Tho architecture and music of His own world. How then aro wo to bo in ado willing to leave? Hero is Whore trouble comes in. After a mon has bad a good deal of trouble, ho says: "Well, 1 am ready to go. If thoro is a house somewhere whose roof doesn't leak, I would liko to live thoro. If thero is nn at mosphere somewhere that doe*' not distress tho lungs, I would liko to bnutho it. If thero is n society somewhere whore ? hore ls ho tittle tultle, I would Uko to livo thoro. If thuro ls a homo circlo somewhoro whoro I can find my lost friends, I Would liko to go thoro." Ho used to read tho first part of tho Biblo chiefly, now ho rends tho last part of tho Bible chiofly. Why has ho changed Gonesis for Revelation? Ahl k? vr$e.d to ho anxious chiefly to know how tuiftw?l'ld was mado, and all .about its geo-, logical construction. Now ho is chiefly aux-' ipfaa to know how tho next world was inado, and bow it looks, and who li vd thoro, andi how they dross. Ho reads Rovolatlon ton, tynps now whero ho reads Genesis once. Tho' o(d'story, "In tho boglnning, God created tho! Heavens and tho earth," does not thrill! Mpi half ns much as tho other story,! "I saw a now heavon and a now earth." Tho old man's limul tremidos as ho turns OjVer this apocalyptic leaf, ni\d ho has to take ont his handkerchief to wipo his spectacles. That book of Revelations is n prospectus now of tho country into which ho is to soon immi grate; tho country into which ho has lots al ready laid out, and avenues opened, and trcos planted and mansions built. Tho thought of that blessed placo comes ovor mo mightily, and I doclara that If this house wero a great shrp.jmd you all wore. ?lassen gor s on board it. and ono hand could (uineh that ship into tno glorios of heavon, I should bo tempted to toko tho responsi bility and launch you all into glory with ono st roko, holding on to tho sido of tho boat until I could get in myself. And yot t hero aro people horo to whom this world is brighter than heaven. Well, dear souls,- I do not Wamo you. It is natural. But after a while you will bo ready to go. It was not uutil Joh had been worn out with boron vc ments and carbuncles and a post ot a wife that ho wanted to seo God. It was nj?t until tho prodigal got tired of living among tba hogs that ho wanted to go to his Fathor'u house, It Is the ministry of trouble to mako thia world worth loss and heavon worth moro. Again, Vi is tho uso of troublo to mako us feel our complote dopondonco upon God. King Alphonso said that if ho had beon pros ont at tho creation ho could hnvo mado a bot ter world than this. What a pity ho was not present! Ido not know what God will do when somo mon die. Mon think thoy can do anything until Cod shows thom thoy do noth ing ot nil. Wo lay otu* great plaiiB nnd wo Uko lo exocuto thom, lt looks big. God comos and takos us down. AH Prometheus was assaulted by his onomy, whon tho lance struck him it oponed a great, swelling that had' threatened his death, and ho got well. So it is the arrow of troublo that lot? our r great swellings of prido. Wo nover feol our uopondonce upon Gfod until we got troublo. I was riding with my llttlo child along tho ?road, and ?ho asked if ?ho might drivo. X I banded over the reins to bor, and I had to ndtnlrovtha gleo with which she drove. But nf tor. n whilo wo mot a tenn and wo had to turn oat. Th?rond was narrow, and it was ebor uown on both sides, Sho handed th? i olnn over to me, and said: "I think you tin>J .uotier i?ko obargo or tho horao." So wo ar? nh 0)1 ild ron; ana on this road of lifo wo Uko to drtvo. Ie gives ono such nu (innenvaneo of superiority and power. Ic looks big. But /iftor a whilo wo moot nomo obstacle, and w? hove to turn out, and ' tho road is narrow, and it Is sheordown on both sidos; nud then wo oro Willing that God should i ko the reins and drivo. Ah 1 my friends, wu got up sot sp of ton hecanso wo do not hand over the voins soon enough. Can you not toll whon you hear a mau fray, whothor ho has ovor had any trouble? con. Tho cadon co, tho phraseology indicate ic. Why do women pray botter thou moni Bocauso they havo had more troublo. Be foro a mau lias had any troublo, lils prey crt aro pootio, and ho begins away up among the sun, moon and stars, and gives tho Lord n great dont of astronomical information that must bo highly gratifying, lie thou comes bo down gradually over beautifully fabio? lands to "forovor and over, arnon." But af ter a man has had trouble, prayor is with him n taking hold of tho nrm of God and cry ing out for hob). I have heard earnest pray ers on two ov tnroo occasions that I remem ber. Onco, on tho Cincinnati expresa train, going at forty milos tho hour, and tho train jumped I tho track, and wo woro ?oar tk. chasm eighty foot doep; and the roan -who, a fow minutos before, had beau swearing and blasphomiug God, hogan to pull and jerk nt tho boll rope, and got up on tho backs of tho seats and cried out: "O God, savo us'" Thero was another time, about eight hundred milos out at sea, on a foundering steamer, after tho inst lifeboat bad boen split lluor than kindling wood. They prayed then. Why is it you so often hoar pooplo, in roe!ting tho lust ox perlonco of somo friend, say: '"lio modo tho most beautiful prayor I over hoard?'* What mako9 it beautiful? It is tho earnestness of it. Oh, I toll you a mau is itt earnest whoa his stripped and nakod soul wades out in tho soundloss, shoroloss, bottomless ocean of It is trouble, my frionds.that makes ns fool our dopendonco upon God. Wo do not know our own weakness or God's strongth until tho last plank breaks. It is contemptible in us whon there is nothing oise to take hold of, that wo catch hold of God only. A man is unfort unate in business. Ho has to raise a great ?leal of monoy, aud raiso it quickty. He borrows on word and noto all ho can bor row. Af tor a whilo ho puts a mortgage on his boase. After a whilo ho puts a second mortgage on hts house. Thou ho puts a lion on his furniture. Then ho makes ovor bis lifo insurance. Thou he assigns all his prop crty. Then ho goes to ins father-in-law and asks for holpl Well, having failed everywhere, com pletely foiled, ho got? down on'hls knees and nays: "O Lord, I/novo tried ovorybody and everything, now help ino out of this llnan cial trouble." Ho makes God tho lust resort instead of th* first resort. Tkc.ro oro mon who havo paid ten couts on a dollar Who could havo paid a hundred cents on a dollar if thoy bad gono to ({od in time. Why, you do not know who tho Lord is. Ho is not nu autocrat seated far up in a polaco, from which He emerges onco a year, proceded by heralds swinging swords to clear tho woy! f?o. But a Father willing, at our call, to stand by us in every crisis and predicament of life. I tell you what some of you business men moke ino think of. A young niau goes oil' from homo to earn his fortune. He goes with his mother's consent and benediction. She has large wealth; but. ho wants to make his own fortune. ile goes faraway, foils rick, gets out of money, Ho sends for tho hotel keeper where ho is slaying, asking for lenience, and tho answer lie gets is: "If you don't poy up .Saturday night you'll bo rc .moved to tho hospital." Tho young mau sends to a comrade in tho same building. No help. Ho writes to a honker who was a friend of bis deceased father. No relief. He Writes to an old schoolmate, but gets no help. "Saturday night comes and he is removed to tho hospital. Getting there, ho is frenzied with griof ; and ho borrows a sheet of paper ond a postage stamp, and bo sits down, and ho writes home, saying: "Dear mother, lam sick unto death. Come." It is ton minutes of 10 o'clock when sho gots tho letter. At 10 o'clock tho train starts. Sho is flvo minutes from tho dopot. ?ho gobs there in timo to havo flvo minutes to spore. Sho wonders why o train that can go thirty milos an hour cannot go sixty miles on hour. She rushes into tho hospital, Sho says: .."My son, what doosall this mean? Why didn't you send for mo? Von sent to everybody but ! nie, You knew I could and would help you. Ts'th is tho reward I get for my kindness te you Always?" Sho bundles him up, takes him homo, and gots him well very soon. Now, somo of you treat God just as that [young.man treated his mother. Whon you got. imo a nnancial'porplexlty, you call on the Ibankof ,you call on tho brokor.you call on your creditors, you call on your lawyer for legal (counsel; you cull upon evorybody, and when |you cannot cot any help, then you go to God. You say: "O Lord I como to Thee. Help mo now out of my perplexity." And tho Lord comes, though it is tho eleventh hour. !lIo says: "Why did you not send for Me Ibeforo? As ono whom his mother comfortoth, 'so will ? comfortyou." It is to throw us back ?upon an all comforting God that wo havo (this ministry of tears. j Again, it is tho uso of troublo to capacitate us for tho oifi?? of sympathy. Tho priests, landor tho phi dispensation, were set apart by {having wntor sprinkled on their hands, feet 'and head; and by tho sprinkling ol tears Ipcoplo aro HOM' sot apart to tho oflieo of (sympathy. When wo aro in prosperity wo ,'lfko to havo a groot many young pnoplo around us, and wo laugh when they laugh, and we romp when they romp, and we sing ?when ?hoy sing; but whon wo havo troublo ,wo liko plenty of old folks mound. Why? ?They know how to talk. Tnko an aged (mother, sovonty years of ago, and sho is nl linost omnipotent in comfort. Why? Sho has boen through it all. At V o'clock in tho morning sho goes over to comfort a young Soother who hos just lost her babe. [ Grandmother knows nil about that trou ?blo. Fifty years ago sho felt it. At 13 .o'clock of that day sho goes over to comfort A widowed soul. Sho knows all about that. She baa boen walking in that dark valloy (twenty yo&Ts. At 4 o'clock in tho aftornoon Homo onO knocks at. tho door wonting bread. ?ho knows all about that. Two or threo times in her lifo sho como to her last loaf. ?At 10'o'clock that night she goos over to sit jap with somo' ono severely sick. Sho knows nu about it. Sho knows all about fovorsand .pleurisies and broken bones. She has boon doctoring all hor lifo, spreading plasters, and ?pouring out bitter drops, and snaking up hot pillows, and contriving things to tempt n, (poor appotite. Doctors Abornothy and Rush tad Hosack and Harvoy wero great doctors,' but tho greatest doctor tho world ever saw is lin old Christian woman. Door mol Do wo ?QC romombor hor about tho room whon wo woro sick in our boyhood? Was thora any fine who could over so touch a soro without lurting it? And when sho lifted hor spectacles against lier wrinkled forohead. so she could look (noser at the wound, lt was throe-fourths 'healed. And when tho Lord took hor home. Mthough you may hnvobeen men and women thirty, forty, Af ty years of age, YOU lay on tho coffin lid and sobbed as though you were Only ilvo or ten years of age. O man, prniso God if you havo in your memory the picture of an honest, sympathetic, kind, self sacrific ing, Chrlst-llko mother. Oh.it takes these neo f?lo who have had troublo to comfort others a trouble. Whore did Paul got tho Ink with which to write his comforting opistlo? Whero llld David pot tho ink to write his comforting .psalms? Whore did John get tho ink to write his comforting RovolatTon? Thoy got it out of their own tonis. When a mon has gono through the curriculum, and has taken ii course of dungeons and imprisonments and ?hlpwrocks, ho is qualified for tho work of ympathy. Whon I begnn to preach, my sermons on ho subject of troublo were nil pootio and in (leml-hlnnk vorso; but God knookod tho blank tyoivso out of mo long ago, and I have found nit that I cannot comfort pooplo excopt as I niysolf havo boon troubled. God moko ino tito son of consolation to tho people I would l-nther bo tho means of soothing ono per :nrbod spirit to-day, than to ploy a tuno that would sot all tho sons of mirth reoling in tho lance, I nm a herb doctor. I put into tho caldron the Root out of dry ground without L'orm or comeliness. Thou I put in tho Roso of Sharon and tho Lily pf tho Valley, Then I put into tho caldron somo of tho leaves from tho Tree bf Life.and tho Branch that was thrown Into tho wilderness Marah.

Good morning, Hca fvenl "Oh," says some critic In tho audience, /'the Blblo contradict* itself. It intimates ngain and ngnin that thore aro to bo no tears In heaven, and If thore be no toars in heaven, now ls it possible that God will wipe nny Rway?" I answer, have you no vor soen a child crying ono moment and laughing Jtho next; and whllo Bho was laughing, you 5aw thu tears still on hor facol And porhaps ou stopped hor in tho very midst of her re sumed glee, and wiped oft thoso delayed ?team So, I think, arter tho heavenly rap tures have come upon us, thero may bo tho I nark of sdme earthly grief, and while thoso jtears are glittering in tho light of tho jaspor son, God will wlpo thom away. How woll Ho ?can do that. Jesus had e tough trial to mnko Him hympathoti" with all trial. Tho short jost vorso in tho Biblo tells tho flory : "Jesus wept." Tho scar on tho back of either band, tho scar on tho arch of either foot, tho row of scars along tho lino of tho hair,will koop all heavon thinking. Oh, that grent weopor is just tho ono to silouco ull earthly trouble, *wipe out all stains of earthly griof, Gentle I Why, His stop is softer th~n tho stop of tho (low. It will not bo a t" . ant bidding you to hush up your crying. It will bo a Father who will (nico you on His loft arm, His faco gleaming into .your?, while with tho soft tips of th? fingers of the right hand, Ho shall wipo away ?ll tears from your oyes. I havo no ticed when tho childron got hurt, and their mother is away from homo, they como to mo for comfort, and sympathy; but J. havo no ticed that when tho children got hurt and their mother is at homo, they go right past mo and to her; l a ni of np account. Bo, when thc soul comes up into heaven out of the wounds ot this lifo, it will not stop to look for Paul, or Moses, or David or John, j Thoso did very well once, but now tho soul shall rush past, crying: "Where is Jesus? Whore. i<? Jesus. ' Dear I.or:1., What a im?gui ileont. thing to dio if Thou shalt thus wipe away our tears. Moth Ink it will tako us somo time to got used to hon voa: tho fruits of God without ono spook; tho frosh pasturo? without ono uottlo; tho orchestra without ono snapped string, tho river of gladness j without ono torn bank ; tho solferino? and tjie saffron of sunrise and sunset swallowed up in tho ctornnl duy that beams from God's countenance I Why slimiUI I wish to ilngor In tho wild, Whoa Thou nrt walting, Kutlinr, to receive Thy child? If wo could got any appreciation of what God has in reservo for us, it would make us so homesick wo would bo until for every day work. Professor L?onard, formerly of Iowa University, put in my hand a meteoric stone, a stone thrown off from some other world to this. How suggestive it was to mc. Anti I havo to toll you tho best representat ions wo havo of heaven aro only aerolites Hung oil' from that World which ?oils ott. bearing tho multitudes of tho redeemed. Wo analyze thoso aerolites, and Hud them crystali/.ations of tears. No wonder, Hung off from heaven, "God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes." Havo you any appreciation of tho good and glorious timos your friends aro having in heaven? How diff?rent it is when they got nows thoro of a Christian's death from what it is hero, lt is tho diu'eronco between em barkation and coming into port. Everything depends upon which sido of tho river j-ou stand whon you hear of a Christian's death. If you stand on this sido of tho river you mourn that thoy go. If you stand on tho other sido of tho river you rejoice that they come. Oh, tho difference between a funeral on earth and a jubilee in heaven-botweon requiem hero and triumphial march there parting hero and reunion thero. Togothor ! Havo you thought ot it? They aro together. Not ono of your departed friends in ono land 'and another in another land; but togothor, in different rooms of tho sumo house;-tho house of many mansions. Together! 1 1 novor appreciated that t bought so much us when wo laid away in her last slumber kuy sistor Sarah. Standing thoro in tho vil pago cemetery, I looked around and said: ?"Thoro is father, thero is mother, thoro is ?grandfather, thoro is grandmother, thoro aro (wholo circles of kindred;" and I thought to (mysolf : "Together in tho grave-togethor in telory." I am so impressed with tho thought jthat I do not think ; -.ny fanaticism when fiomo ono is gobi*, from this world to tho next if you mako "hom tho boaror of dis patchos to your friends who aro gone, say ing: "Givo my l.ovo to my parents, givo my (ovo to my children, givo my ioro to my old Comrades who aro in* glory, and tell them I nm trying to light tho good light of faith, und I will join thom after awhile." I Ireliovo tho mossago will bo delivered ; and I bel love it will increase tho gladness of thoso who aro bofore tho throne. Togothor aro thoy, all their tears gone. No trouble getting food society for thom. All Kings, Queens, 'vinces, and Princesses. In 1751 thore was a bill offered in tho English parliament pro posing to chango tho ahnanao so that the 1st of March should como immediately after tho 18th of February. But, oh, what a glorious chango in tho calendar when all tho years of your earthly oxistonco aro swallowed up in tho eternal year of God! And, my friends, if wo could only appre ciate tho glories that are to como, wo would bo so llllon with enthusiasm that no power of earth or hell could stand before us; and at our first shout tho opposing forces would be gin to tremble, ami at our second shout they would begin to fall back, and at om- third shout they would bo routed forever. Thero is no power on earth or in boll that could stand before three such volleys of halle luiah. 1 put tliis balsam on tho wounds of your heart. Rejoice nt tho thought of what your departed friends havo got rid of, and that you havo a prospect of so soon making your own escape. Bear cheerfully tho ministry of tears, and exult at tho thought that soon lt is to bo ended. There wo shall ninreli up tho heavenly strcot, Ami ground our arms at JOSUH'B feet. idiss EMITA' FArrui'unr, is ono of tho women who muy ho present nt tho first annual convention of tho Womon's Council of Aniorion, to bo held in Wash ington next April. Miss Faithful is much interested in projects which have been formed from timo to timo of colo nizing some of Britain's superfluous womon in tho Western States and Ter ritorios, and ono of tho objects of her proposed visit is said to bo to look into tho promiso of snob a ?chemo by exam ining personally tho market for women's labor.

A recent scientific lecturer on toa and coffco remarked that both contained the same alkaloid, and tho offed pro duced on the human system was in both cases similar. Tea requires less digestive power than col?eo, and it did not cloy tho palate. Tho latter, how ever, was a better stimulant, and thoro were but fow beverage? moro refresh ing than tho cup of coffee. Tho lec turer, who described tea as "tho tobacco of womon, "ascribed its ill effects to tho presence of much astringent mnfctor, and this was ono of tho chiof causes of dyspepsia.

Tho inlluenco of this upon our girls, ninny of them not yet in their teens, must bo very evident oven to a lialf thoughtful mind.

Perhaps at your suggestion Cl ?nder your guidance, (?hoy could form a society of girls pledged to observe certain tilings in matters of dross; this would make it easier, and by being "popular" would have u following. Touchers wo believe could easily start such bands and give them prestige and powor. Even . without any organiza tion they could quietly discourage and preach against these foolish and harm ful pr?cticos.

G rind n, who has just soon it. "Think of n Inno two miles long, with melons on each sido as far as the oyo can reach, It is an in teresting sight when tho laborers go out at daylight' to gather the melons. Squads of thom aro moving the vines aside to make roads for tho wagons to go through. Others aro thumping and cutting off tho melons from tho vines, while others follow, gathering tho fruit into the wagons. I novorsaw anything liko it. Tho largor melons will avorago forty pounds, and there will bo lots of sixty-pounders. Thero will bo carloads of 1,200 unions, with hardly a molon under thirty-live or forty pounds. Tho company who own this nnmenso melon patch ot' 800 acres will mako a big thing out of it. In my judgment their prollt will not bo less than $150 n* car-load, and they will ship 4U0 loads. ' Sixty thousand dollars on 800 acres will' beat cotton. Without disaster, they will mako such a success that tho farmers who are watching thom will plant an immense acreage in that section noxt year. No FERTILIZER is moro highly valu ed than lime, for the reason that it is cheap, easily applied, and its effects aro lasting, liimo exists in all soils, but more in some, than in others. As a car bonato it is insolublo, but is subject to chemical changos hythe action of nitric acid and other substances brought down by rains. When limo is freshly mado (by burning limestone or oyster shells) it ls in a very caustic stato, and easily combines with water, tho water crystal lizing anil forming a hydra to of Hmo. It is in this condition-tho hydrate when it should ho applied to soils, as its alllnity for carbonic acid causes many reactions to occur in tho soil, tho result hoing tho formation of substances that can bo rendered soluble in water.

FOR THE FA lt 31 Tho ordinary railroad wheelbarrow much used by farmers bccaiuo it Is cheap, is too small for most farm work, Prairie Pariner suggests that it often pays a man to mako some of his own tools and includes among these the largo wheelbarrow. This barrow can be made at a cost of about $1.50; tho lumber and nails can bo purchased for about 70 cents, and if a second hand wheel cannot be found a now iron wheel can bo bought for about 75 cents. Tho sides, including handlo, aro about 5 feet 8 inches long; top of box 3feot 3 inches; width, 2 feet 3 inches; depth, 10 inches. Tho wheel box should bo about 2 inches from tho wheel. HALF INCUBATED EGGS.-Tho in creasing popularity of incubators is having a demoralizing effect on the egg trade. - Eggs aro so cheal) for twp-. thirds of tho year that up till recently few people took tho trouble to keep any long enough lo get stale. But now thoso who have incubators put all their eggs into them and buy dozens to mako up tho 200 or 300 necessary to /111 their machines. At tho end of tho fourth day all tho eggs a io tosted, and those that aro not likely to yield chickens aro easily dotected. They aro taken out and sold as "fresh" eggs. They aro not altogether spoilt by their four days' sojourn iii a temperature of 100 deg., but they havo contracted a flavor which is tho reverso of pleasant. Tho only way to obviate this smart scheme is to refuso to buy from any ono who runs an incubaloor, but tho trouble is toa scertain who has an artificial sitting hon and wfio hus not. Tun pest of locusts has been fought vigorously and successfully in Cyprus by gathering tho eggs and catching tho doveloped insects in systems of screens. Tho number of eggs collected increased from 37 ? tons in 1879 to 230 in 1880, 1330 tons m 1881, Moro than 0000 screens were employe^ hi 1882, and 185,000,000,000 insects wero destroyed. The system was steadily mado moro effective, and in 1830 thoro wero avail able for uso moro than 11,000 screens and 13,000 traps, the screens repros nt Ing an aggregate length of about i.

"WOKKINO" BUTTER.-Tho Dairy World says: Tho torin "work" in tho manufacture of butter ought to bo con sidered obsolete lt is now tolerable only in tho sense of pressing tho butter into a solid mass. Butter is no longer "worked" by intelligent butter makers to get tho butter milk out of it, for it is washed out whilo tho butter is in a granular condition; and it is no longer "worked" to incorp?ralo the salt with it, for thc salt is readily stirred in whilo tho butler is in tho granular condi tion. FERTILIZING: material is now pro cured from iron. In tho manufacturo of Bessemer steel a light basic slag known ns Thomas slag is tho result, which is rcdueod to an impalpable powder and sold to farmers, as it con tains a large porporlion of phosphoric acid. Those wno are familiar with tho merits of tho slag estimate that it con tains 21 per cent, of plant food. BRAN is considered ono of tho best foods for all classes of stock, and it is rich in phosphates. It is a very imper fect food, howover, whon fed in placo of grain entirely, but whon givon in con nection with hay and ground grain lt largoly adds lo the vah?o of tho wliolo, and assists to mako tho ration more completo in tho clements of growth and production. WEEDS mako valuable food for hogs. It is much bettor to feed tho young and tender weed to stock than to allow them to waste. On somo fields the weeds aro offen thick onougli to mow. Tho pigweed and ragweed make oxcol lout hog food, Purslaino and crabgrass aro highly relished by cattlo and swine. ip scrub stock does not pay try some thing better, Tho success of stock raising depends on tho breed.

HOW AND II OW NOT 'rn TAVT A CHILD.-In lifting a child both hand? . should ho used and so placed as to clasp tho body about tho. waist, oat hips, and tho body raised without any forco being oxertcd upon tljo arms. ISvory day upon our streets can b$ scon llttlo children just able to toddle* along who huvo to bo carried across tho stroet anti over or around obstructions^ and the torture that they oftentimes luwo to undergo from tho thoughtless ness of those who attend thom eau es many a headache to a careful observer, whofeolsfor them. Usually, 'with a hand grasped by tho mother Or other persona caring (?) for tho child, it ls hurried al?ng faster than its littlo loga can carry it, a portion of its weight being lifted and causing a constant strain upon the arm-, when a crossing Is readied tho mother takes a stronger pull, the child dang'es hy one arin un tho opposite sido is reached and then tho foot oro allowed to partly rest upon tho ground again. , Sometimes tho process will be varied by two per sons taking tho ohild hetweon theni and each taking a hand when tho weight of the ohild will bo divided between two arms which is only'one-half as bad. Hut such practices should never bo al lowed. Tho arms of a child wore never inf ended to sorvo ns handles for tho purpose of lifting or carrying. Strains, dislocations and fractures causing de formity and imperfect uso of arm or shoulder or both, result from such careless uso tho arms of a child, which wore designed fer the childi? use in doing things within Its strength. It would bo Impossible for a child weigh ing thirty pounds to sooxortits strength I as to lift that amount with ono or ovoh ' both hands and yot that ls what lt I is \ compollcd to do when tho arms are made tho handles whereby the child is lifted. PICKLED MELON.-In pickling a young musk or nutmeg molrn, eut a ' bolo in tho side through which lo ex tract the seeds, saving tho piece that is cut out.
