A delicious way of cooking peas is at follows: Take a head of lettuce, pick out the nicest and most tender Haves and put them, after washing carefully, in an earthenware dish with a lump of butter and salt, and let it get Pery hot; then put in your peas, adding enough hot water to cover; let them cook until very tender, keeping them covered. The let tuce will melt us tho peas cook.—New York World. HOT C ABBAGE SALAD. One quart of finely shaved cabbage, two tablespoonfuls of bacon or pork fat, two large slices of onion, minced very fine; one teaspoonful of salt, one fourth of a teaspoonful of pepper, half a cupful ot vinegar, one teaspeonful of sugar. Fry the onion in the fat until it becomes yellow; then add the other ingredients. Pour the hot mixture on the cabbage. Stir well, and serve at once. Lettuce can be served in the same manner.—Yankee Blade. TOMATO JAM. The following is a Southern recipe for :omato jam: Quarter some good ripe tomatoes like in orange and remove the core; allow ano pound of sugar to each pound of Fruit and boil it till it sets, when it is papered down like any other jam. An other way is to scald the tomatoes, peel hem and press tho pulp through a sieve, 'iuishing off as above. If the fruit is luartcred and put on over the fire the juice can then be run out and finished off ‘ike ordinary jelly. FHLED TOMATOES. There is no nicer dish for s hot weather areakfast, lunch, or supper, than a dish )f fried tomatoes. Choose large, firm, ind not over-ripe tomatoes, and slice ibout halt an inch thick. Fry in hot fat iftcr first rolling in flour and seasoning, (lave no more fat in the pan than is just reccssary to fry them. Brown on both iides without burning; cover gently with aot milk, add butter, and as soon as the nilk bubbles thicken slightly with flour vet in cold milk. The sauce must be perfectly smooth. Pour over toast. You nay remove the slices of tomatoes to a lish containing hot buttered toast and nakc the sauce in the pan afterward, if fou prefer.—American Agriculturist. a novel men.

Hire, boiled very dry, is acceptably ierved with fish instead of potatoes. Tho wicks of lamps, if brushed off every morning, will never need cutting. Soiled clothes should not be allowed to remain in the bedrooms. Th«y taint tbc air and make it impure. Sprained ankle has been cured in an four by showering with hot water poured ‘rom a height of a few feet. Old cotton or merino stocking tops ire better than cloth for patching mcrinu underwear, as they yield with if. An effectual remedy for slimy and greasy drain pipes is copperas dissolved ind left to work gradually through the pipe. Common washing soda and boiling water should be used to rinse all the waste-pipes at least once every week or ten days. Many women go upstairs with the body bent forward and the chest con tracted—a practice very injurious to the heart and lungs. A good cement for glass and china is made of one part caustic soda, three parts resin and five parts water. Mix the ingredients thoroughly. Two quarts of water with two ounces of glycerine scented with rose, as a dressing in the bath, will ImparWresh- uess and delicacy to the skin. If soot be dropped upon the carpet throw upon it an equal quantity of salt ind sweep all up together. Th»rc will be scarcely a trace of soot left. If you are s tall woman arrange to have four work-table and ironing-board a few inches higher than they are usually made. This little precaution will prevent many i backache. An excellent way of testing tea is to put a teaspoonful in a glass of water and ihake it thoroughly. If tha tea is pure the water will be a pur* amber tint, but if adulterated, strongly colored. A simple means of changing the air of a sick room is to open a window at the top, and opening the door, move it hatfc »nd forward rapidly, so as to insure a current of fresh air from th* window. Fuel can be saved on ironing day bv placing over the irons an old tin bucket or similar vessel bottom side up. You need a thick iron-holder, lined with paper, to handle them with when heated in this way. In changing feathers, always put them into new ticks, as the. feathers will sure ly prick through washed ticks. Our grandmothers rubbed the inside of tbc ticks with hard soap, to prevent this. Old ticking can always be put to good U30. Don't allow the broom to stand on the brush end when not in use; hand it on a nail by means of a ring in the top of the handle. Don't forget that a broom will last much longer if, after using, it is dipped in boiling water for a few min utes. The simple rule when poison has been swallowed is to get it out of tho stomach as quickly as possible. Mustard and salt are very good emetics, aud they are always obtainable. Put a tablespoouful in a glass uf water and let the person swallow it immediately. The dose should be repeated in five minutes if vomiting does not set in The whites of two or three eggs should be given after vomiting. There are at present 1300 beet sugar factories in Europe, and they ronsume 21,000,000 tons of beets every year. Their annual output of sugar amounts to 2,000,000 tons. It is said that over 130,000,000 are expended for labor and fuel, and that (100,000,000 are paid t© fanners for beets.

American wheat is called corn and American corn is called maise, or some times Indian corn. Pigs’ feet arc called trofters. The Atchison, Topeka aud Santa Fc system operates more mileage than any other single corporation in tho United States. The largest American tunnel is the I Hoosic, avhich is four and three-quarter miles long, about half the length of the St, Gotha rd. The highest altitude reached by any railroad iu tho United States is on the Denver and Rio Grande line, at Marshall Pass, which is 10,852 feet above the level of the sea. The chimes of St. Patrick's Cathedral, in New York city, will consist of fifteen oells, weighing 30,000, aud cost (15,000. They are not yet iu place, but are to bo fiuisued by Christmas. It is reported that Elkanah Watson, of Albany, N. Y., was the originator ot cattle shows and agricultural fairs. Tho first wan held under his direction at Pittsfield, Mass., in 1810, where he then had a farm. The tolling of bells at funerals is a relic of the pagan idea that the sound of oells frightened away evil spirits. It was kept up until watches and clocks he- came common to apprise tho ’worshipers of the arrival of church time. Until thin year B. II. Barham has held the distinction of being the only person of h'n name enrolled in the Bos ton directory.

The following notice is posted in the main street or Athens, Oa.: “To.uiy neighbors: If my spring chickens are disturbing your garden kill them and eat them. Don’t pile them out in the alley to become a nuisance. John Edinoton." Prince Bismarck is the only prominent political personage in European state craft who carries a scar received in an other field—that of battle. He was shot through the thigh iu tho memorable cavalry charge on the afternoon of Mars la-Tour, iu which he rode no a private dragoon. WISE WORDS. THE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUN DAY SERMON. A woman's lot is made for her by the love she accepts. It’s easy finding reasons why other folks should be patient. Tho very truth has a color from tiie disposition of tho utterer. When a woman is not contradicted she has no motive for her obstinacy in her absurdities. It seems as if them that aren't wanted here are th’ only folks as aren’t wanted i’ th’ other world. ariSSL.i T** ? rcnl ' fd shoM be mad, straight. —Isa. xl., 4. «r^ ie £ y 'K r °, m <i,n ? H W «* discov eredon tho banks of tho Nile, which, bv its obUteratccl the landmarks, and the restoration of these landmarks made such a science necessary—I say geometrv then has been busy with lines straight lines, curved lines, lines in angles and cones and spheres, but has never been able to evolve any beauty from a line that was merely crooked. The circle and the square was always considered admirable isaiab recognizes tho circle and says ‘The Lord sits upon the circle of the earth.” The altar of the ancient tabernacle was ‘‘four square,” aud the breast plate of the priests Tour square, ’ and heaven, according to St John, is‘‘four square.” But the Bible has no admiration for linos t hat arc merely crooked. Indeed my text in prophesying the world's complete rectiflcatiou declares, "The crooked shall be made straight.” There have been so many moral earth quakes that many things have got into a ter rible twist—crooked laws, crooked Govern ments, crooked fortunes, crooked dispositions —and many of the effort* to straighten things bave only made them more crooked. And some good people sit down in despair and become pessimistic, and give up life, and the church and the world as dead failures With such lachrymose behavoir I have no sympathy. It is a promise of the Lord Al- mightv, ‘‘The crooked shall be made straight.” I propose, as I may be divinelv helped, to mention some ot the crooked things that are going to be straightened. Much of th* wealth of the world is in the bands of the profligate, while many of the best people are subjected to distressing pri vation, and there is going to be a redistri bution of property. If It were possible it would b* abad thing to have things divided equally. Borne men are able to endure more success than others, and prosperity that might not unbalance you might destroy me. The Declaration of American Independence declares that all men are born equal, but the opposite is the truth, for they are born un equal. In no respect is this more evident than in their rapacity to endure success, financial or soclaf. 1 have seen men by t he acquisition of 150,000 made arrogant and overbearing, and 1 have known others with their millions of dollars childlike and unas suming and Christian. We would all be affluent, but the Lord cannot trust us. lam glad there are those He can trust. Much is said against capitalists, but the world would be a very shaky world without them. Who built the great railroads which, while they give such facilities of travel, em ploy tens of thousands of laborers,supporting them and their families? Capitalists. Who built great ships that stir the rivers and bridge the ocean? Capitalists. Who reared the thousands of factories all over tho land tn which hundreds of thousands of employes earn their daily bread? Capitalists. Who endowed your colleges and opened free li braries and built asylums for the orphan,the crippled and the insane? Capitalists. But for them there would not be an academy of music, or a picture gallery, or a free library, or a steamboat, or a railroad in America. Who put the world ou seventy-five years be yond what it would have been in enterprise, in comforts, in educational advantage, iu good things without number? Capitalists The more money a man gets the better, if It comes honestly and is employed righteous ly . Nevertheless we all see that there needs to he a redistribution of property. ( om- munism proposes to make that distribution by torch and dagger and dynamite. Throw the midnight express train off the track and put the factory Into conflagration. Disrupt society, burglarize, assassinate. Such peo ple belieVe neither in God nor man nor wo man, and they know how to make things worse, but never have made and never oau make anything better. I tell you bow there will come a redistri bution of property. Under the divine bless ing good people will get more alertness aud acumen and assiduity. Many good people are kept in straitened' circumstances because they have been indolent or lacked courage to take honest advantage of circumstances, and were too stupid to get ou. With the very same surroundings others went on to com petency. In the netter days to come good men will have their faculties wakened, and will in consequence rise to larger share of prosperity. On the other hand, estates wrongfully accumulated will dissolve. If not the sons, then the grandsons will mnko the monev fly, nnd it will gradually scatter in ♦heir hands aud become a part <>f the general wealth. Then, as to vast properties righteously gathered—and there are thousands of them —inch estates will contribute toward help ing the unfortunate, not more by charities than by helping struggling people into lucra tive business, and the man who has amassed enough and a surplus will say, “There is a young merchant without auy capital; I will start him on Fulton street;” and ‘There is a Friendship begins with liking or grati tude—roots that can be pulled up.! Mother's love begins deeper down. I’m proof against that word failure. I’ve seen behind it. The only failure a man ought to fear is failure in cleaving to the purpose he secs to be best. .! The golden moments in the stream of! life rush past us, and we sec nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, aud| we only know them when they are gone., The beginning of hardship is like the, first taste of bitter food—it seems for a moment unbearable; yet, if there is' nothing else to satisfy our hunger, wet take another bite and find it possible to> go on. I hate to see a man’s arms drop down, ts if he was shot, before the clock’s, fairly struck, just as if he’d never a bit o’ pride and delight in’s work. The very grind-stone ’nil go on turning a bit after you loose it. You must be sure of two things: you must love your work, and not be always looking over the edge of it, wanting your play to begin. Aud the other is, you must not be ashamed of your work, and think it would bo more honorable to you to be doing something else.—George Eliot. TFall Street Strong Baxes. If one stands in front ot the Stock Exchange any morning between 9:30 and 10 o’clock, one will see men coming up from tho basement with tin boxes or chests in their hands or under their arms. They have jnst come from the safe de posit vauits located in the depths of tho Block Exchange building. These boxes contain stocks and bonds, In many cases worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. The contents are too valuable to bo left overnight in the huge safe of the firm. A young man comes by with a big box swinging by his side. Another walks a few feet in front of him aud another walks behind. They are his holy guaffi. If one walks slowly toward the young man with the box and walks along care lessly by bis side the young man iu tho rear walks up and steps in between you aud the box. He coughs three rimes and the man ahead drops back and walks closely behind you. A policeman is standing now in the middle of the street, and then on the sidewalk. He is looking out for auy desperate thief who would be so bold as to snatch one of the treasure boxes. Aud there is that big detective standing at the entrance to the basement. Iu Broad street. Exchange place and New street ire detectives looking after the safe conduct of the strong boxes which va rious firms deposit in the Exchange over night.—New York Commercial Adiertiser. Long Names for Children. There is a family living in Athens, Ga., whose head delights in long names for his children. His first child is styled Mery Magalina Mandy Mectiun Elizabeth Hctsv Polly Mack Barrett; the second child is named Alice Georgia Ann Yorcha Barrett; the third child is called Mattie Fiances Anna Tranna Barrett; the fourth child is known as Emory Spear Walkci Buster Barrett; the fifth child is named I Tiln i ory Coston Estelle Liniment Kttie !

Wo are going to have a multiplication of William E. Dodges and Peter Cooners and James Lenoxes and George Feabodys. fio will come redistribu tion, ond the crooked will be made straight. Mind this: God never yet undertook a fail ure. The old book, which is worth all other books put together, makes it plain that God has undertaken to regulate this world by gospel influences, and if He has the power He will do what He says He will, and no one who amounts to anything will denv His power. God has said a hundred times “I will,” but never once lias said “1 cannot.'’ We may with our tack hammers pound away trying to mend and improve and straighten the financial condition of the world, aud bo disappointed in the result, because our arm is too weak and tho hammer we wield too small: but the roost defiant difficulty will flatten and disappear when God w ith a ham mer made of summer thunderbolts strikes it, saying, "The crooked shall Iks made straight.’" In your business concerns there are infia- ences perplexing. Your affairs may seem all r.gut to outsiders, for business firms do not advertise their private troubles; but where ono firm has everything just as it wants it there are a hundred firms at their wits' end what to do with that partner who draws more than hie share of the profits, or with that stockholder who conies iu just often enough to upset things, or with that disap pearance of funds which yon cannot account for, although you bave suspicions you can not mention; or with that investment which was made contrary to your judgment be cause there was a determination to push it through, or because you are going behind month by month. Without anv prospect of extrication. The trouble Is putting a wrinkle on your forehead that ought not to appear there for ten years y*t, nnd you will he forty years old when you ought to be ouly thirty, or sixty when you ou ht to be only fifty, or seventy when you ought to be only sixty. Stop worrying; either by the dissolution of that firm or by readjusting matters you will be brought safely through If you put your trust in God. , When commercial houses fail the suspen sion is advertised, but of the tens of thous auds of men who are every day extricated no public mention Is made. Yesterday was Sat urday, aud I warrant that at the windows of banks, and in counting rooms of stores, and on every street of every city God ap peared for the deliverance of good men as certainly as when with His rlghtfoot He trod Lake Galilee into placidity, aud made Daniel as safe among thelionsas though they had oeeii Housedogs asleep on a rug ne.oie a win ter's fire. Throw yourself on tho text, or o hundred other texts meaning about the same thing.

It is hung Up ott the cloudy rafters of the sky, where you expect to snatch it up as you finally go through for beaveuly residence. Oh. have your religion within easy reach now: Re ligion is not for heaven, but for this world. One* in hesveu we will need no prayer, for wo shall have everything Wc want We will need no repentance, for we shall have for ever got rid of our sins. We shall have no need of comfort, for there will be no trouble. The Christian religion is not for heaven, where everything is all right, hut for this world, where so many things are all wrong. Washington Allston, whose name you recognize as that of a great American painter, was reduced to extreme poverty. and one day gol on his knees and asked for a loaf of bread for himself and his starving family. While he was bowed in that prayer there was a knock at the door, and a man came in and said : “How ahout your paint ing, the ‘Angel Uriel,” that received the prize at tho royal academy? Has it been sold?” “No,” said Allston. “How much do you want for it?” Allston replied: “I am done fixing a pries, for I cannot get it.” “Will four hundred pounds be enough?” asked the stronger. "Why, that is more than I asked," said Allston. The four hun dred pounds (two thousand dollars) wore paid, and the purchaser introduced himself as tho Marquis of Stafford, who thereafter was one of the most liberal patrons of the rescued artist. “Ob, that all just happened so!” Did it? Tell that to some ignorant man. some benighted woman, who has never read the promise, “Call upon Me in the day of trouble, 1 will deliver thee," or that other promise, “The crooked shall he straight.” “Well,” says one, “vou don't apply this in every direetiou.'’ Yes, I do. Take the most uncertain thing on earth—the weather. The Bible distinctly says tnnt prayer controls the weather. James v., 17,18: “Elias was a ■nan subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, ami it rained not on the earth tor the space of three years and six months; aud heprayed again and the heavens gave rain.” Do you say that was the weather of olden time? There have been instances in modern times just as marvelous. There's not a Christian ship captain but could give you Instances of divine interference with the weather in answer to prayer. It has been my (rood fortune to know many ahip captains. They are all In our services. They leave their vessels on Bunday mornings and join us in worship. 1 warrant there arccuougbof them pres ent this morning to take a whole fleet in safety across the Atlantic. Whenever t have heard them testify it has mightily confirmed me in what I knew liefore, that God answers prayer concerning the weather. And there have been cyclones that started up from th • Caribbean Sea, sweeping down every sail and every smokestack and every mast in their course, which in answer to specific petition have been diverted aud made to curve around some particular ship, leaving that in calm waters, nnd then resuming their original path of destruction. Tho weather proba bilities again and ngaiu have announced a tempest, and we were all ready for it, but to tho surprise of most people the next day we saw tho announcement that the atmospheric fui-y had changed its course. The probabii- ity is it struck a prayer nnd glanced off. If Elias's prayer affected the weather of Pales tine for forty-two months, I should think somebody now might have a prayer that would affect it for a couple of days. John Easter was many years ago an evan gelist in Virginia. A large out-door meeting was being held in that State. Many thou sands hail assembled in the open air and heavy storm clouds Imgan to gather. There was no shelter to whk-h the multitude could retreat. The rain had already reached the adjoining fields when John Easter cried nut, Brethren, be still while I call upon God to stay tho storm till the (iospul is preached to this multitude.” Then he knelt and prayed that the audience might l;‘> spared from the rain, and that after they had gone to their homes there might come refreshing showers. Behold, the clouds parted ns they eame near and passed to either side of the crowd an 1 then closed again, leaving the place dry where the audience had assembled, and the next day the postpone I showers eame upon the groimd that had been the day before omitted. Do you say it only happened so? I cannot see what you keeii your Bible? for, and th - God you worship is not my God. Your God is an autocrat, aud he is so far off aud so far up that the world cannot touch him, an . bis throne is an eternal iceberg. My God is a father, here and now, and a father wid f ive his child what he asks for if it is best for im to have it. Bray about everything that concerns you. secularitics as well as spiritual Lies. Take to God all your annoyances and perplexities. Tho crooked shall be made straight. Some people talk ns though God controlled things in general but not iu par ticular; that He started everything under certain laws and then let it lake care of it- self, as au engineer might start his locomo tive on au iron railroad track and then Jump off. What would happ»n to such a locomo tive is what would long ago have happened to our world if God had started It and after ward allowed It to look out for itself. There ia no such thing as a general provi dence. It Is a particular providence. God has no general care for a forest. It is a can of every eel] of every leaf and root in that forest. God has no general care of theocean. It is a care of every drop ot water in the liquid magnitude. "God has no general caiv for the human race. It is a care of every in dividual of that race, and of every item of individual history. I preach Him, a God iu infinitesimals, an every day God, a God re sponsive, and on” breath of earnest prayer, though that breath should not bo strony enough to make a candle flicker, will absois more of the divine attention than if tho arch angel standing at the foot of tha throne should flap both wings. It is remarkable how many orooke l things are in the providence of Ood being made straight. About thirty- years ago our na tional affairs were as croaked as depraved American politics au l bad men and Satan could make them. From tha top of Maine to the foot ot Florida tho nation was red with wrath, It was w rangle and fight all the way through, and one of tho mildest things that the North and South promised each other was assassination. During this summer I have traveled through New York nnd Ohio and Illinois and Indiana and Min nesota and Kansu., and Nebraska and Mis souri and Texas un i Louisiana and Georgia and North and South Carolina and Virginia and Pennsylvania, and 1 have shaken ban'll with tens of thousands ofp«ople and talked with men of ali sections and degrees, end 1 have to tell you it is ail peace, and in all the dtatesof the Uniou you could not now mar- -hall a military* company of ono hundred sol diers to fight against the United States Oov- rnmentunless you got your men out of the penitentiary Did the corrupt and gangreued political oarties do tliii woi k of rectification -.nd pacification'' No! li was by divine in terposition that the crooked has been made straight. On the 2d of December, 1851, Louis Na poleon Bonaparte ro ie down tho Champs Elyseeof Paris, and under the hoofs of his horse a republic was trampled as tho rider went to take a throne, t was the outrage of the century. Fur nineteen long years the wrong triumphed. The will of one man who wonted to remain Emperor kept down a nation who wanted a republic. But Sep tember, 1870, arrived, and 8.si(in unrolled its crimson scroll. The Emperor surrenders with 88,000 troops, 41'J field guns, 6000 horses and 00,000 muskets. From that day the ballot box was up and the throne was down. Free institutions have been substi tuted for an infamous monarchy. Thank God' The crooked lias lieeu made straight. But why go so far to find fulfillment of my text? In all our lives there are crooked things that need to lie made straight, and each hearer or reader w ill emunerate for , irnseif or herself. With one it isdilapidatcd physical health, and you are saying. “Why cannot! be in good health when I have such opportunities and such responsibilities''" Alas u>r th** sick headaches, and the rheumatic joints, and the noiti'nlgic thrusts, and the lame foot' But you will be well soon. Life at the longest is an abbreviated durance. There is a black doctor that will cure you. .-'.ome people call him death. No disease was ever able to stand before his touch. Use all the means afforded for physioil iveiiperalioi), tint if they fail the auur of release is not tar away. There need ae no incurables. There is no sorrow that leaven cannot cine Those who in this world have always been well will not get the b»st part of heaven. They w ill not have tho i (vantage of contrast. They were well ba- f ire they left this world,and why should they haso gratulated at being well in tho next world* But those who on earth were hindered or broken down in health what a contrast as they step into that domain where there has i.ever been an aching brow, or lame foot, or inflamel ninsele, or disordered nerve' For forty years there may have been a stooping in the berk, or a twisted muscle, or « curved spine, or « crooked limb, but t 'c, promise has been fulfilled, “The crooked shall be made straight.” In inuny adomt-stic life are difficulties to bo removed. There are thousands of matches that were not made in heaveu. Home of the loveliest women have been uni ted to some of the meanest men. an 1 some of the grandest men to the most worthless women There may be m sufficient eause of divorcement, but there has never been auy accord, For them the wedding march ought never to have been played. The twain divergent in sentiment, the north polo and tho south pole might, just as well have been inarrie.t A twistof nettles would have been more appropriate than a gai lanlof orange blotsuuu. The unutterable mistake woe mad* to pleaie parents, or tor the acquisition of estate, or for heightening of social posi tion, or from thorough thoughtlessness. I call the attention of such to the rapid disso lution ot families. This thought, which is a sadness to a happy marital state, might he a consolation to those unequally yoked. A very short path is the path of life. The rolling years will give quick emancipation. Everybody for disci pline must have some kind of trouble, and that is your trouble. Put in a song now aud then to cheer your spirit. Make the best of things. Find In God that peace which no one else cau bestow. The days and months and years are crowding past, and the last of the procession so far as you are concerned will soon have gone by. Remember that some of the best men and women who have ever lived have had the same lifetime misfortune. They bore up under it, and so can you. The expiration of tho life of one of you will after a while remove the affliction. Let tho one that remains make no hypocritical mourning at the obsequies of the one that goes, or imi tate those whom we hove all noticed who fought like cats and dogs all their married stateand then could not got enough organs to sound dirges doleful enough, or furnish ing stores to prepare weeds black enough, or tombstone cutters to chisel epitaphs eulogis tic enough. It is a matter of congratulation that the unhappiest conjugal relation will terminats. The crooked shall be made straight. Iu the ages of the world when people lived five or six or eight or nine hundred years such con solation for any kind of trouble would have been inapt. It would have brought no relief to some of those old patriarchs to say “you will have onlv seven hundred more years of this.” But life has been abbreviated by tho cutting off of century after century until we can console people, whether their trouble be financial or social or domestic, by saying it will not be long before the crooked shall be made straight But to those who were once happily united on earth, but are now separated, the same thought comes in a good cheer. Not long separated! Tradition say-: that two bells were molded and sent from Spain for a dis tant laud to chime in a church tower. But while in a storm at sea one of these hells wr? wrecked and only ono reached the shore aud was hung in the" church tower. Au l some people thought that, when standing on the laud, they beard that bell ringing tor worship or hi a wedding peal they could at the same time hear from the sea the lost bell ringing as if in response. Home of our friends aud kindred have crossed the stormy sea aud are in the tower of God on high. But we are still in the tempest, and sometimes the surges boat over us, but our souls are still in accord with thoso who are gone, aud they ring down to us and we ring up to them, and there is a sympathy between us that cannot die. “Oh,” says some one, “the crook in my lot you have not mentioned, and I sit clear outside of all the consolations you have offered.” Well, I will take after you with Gospel comfort aud reach you bafore I close. Do you think your wound is so deep tho Di vine Surgeon cannot treat it? Hav; you a trouble that overmasters God? Is your an noyance of such nature that you must sup press it? AU, that is what is killing you. i'rouble must he told, or it stings to death the one who carries it. Jf there is no man or woman that you can trust with the secret you can trust God. Hie away to Him Tell Him all about it. Isoek your door and toll Him aloud, and if you do'not get reliet you will be the first soul in tho six thousand years of the world's existence and the only one of the hundreds of millions of the hu man race, who ever called on Go l for help and did not get it. In all the univers \ in all eternity there is not au exception. Stop brooding and commence praying. 1 bless my God iu that, while there are many crooked things in life, there are some things so straight God Hiinse f could not make them straighter. Divine help conies straight to those who will have it. The ang-ds of mercy fly straight when t hey undertake a rescue. The hour of your final deliverance marches straight outof tho eternit ies. And as the carpenter puts down his rule ou a piece of timber, and with his axe hews away until the last inequality and irregula. itv disappears, so when God in tho last great Jay sliatl put down His unfailing measuring rub beside that event which seemed the most twisted in our lives or In tho world, it will be found nut | that tho last discrepancy has v uiis'icd, mid the last wrong has been righted, aud the last crooked thing has boon made straight. Relic (if Washington, Ute Surveyor. Before arriving at Capon, IV. Va.,says tho Charleston (8. CM Netes and Courier, about a half mile from the spring, a nar row way is seen leading directly across the road, iu one direction toward Win chester, in the other toward tho distant Ohio. This way was made by the order of General Braddock to facilitate the march of his army during the late Ercncli and Indian war, which preceded the lie- volution. Washington was thou on Brad- dock'a staff, serving with tho rank of Colonel. A tradition is carefully pre served that be aud Braddock drunk at the Beauty Spring, which was well known to the Indians, aud deemed by them to have great medicinal properties, especi ally for rheumatism. The Indian maidens were supposed to he quite fond of w alk ing in its waters on account of the silken character which it imparts to the skin. But the great curiosity of Capon is the tree, the ouly tree remaining, which has the surveyor's mark made by Washington when ho measured the Fairfax estate for its ancient lord. Captain Vale, tho pro prietor of the springs, ou whose lands it has stood for so long, on account of an accident which has happened to it, has had it hewn down and brought to the patch where it is to be sot up with proper marks for recognition. Such a relic ought to be in possession of the National Museum at Washington. It is tho only relic of the kind which relates to the early life of Washington, long before the era of his fame, when he wandered through the woods of Virginia intent only ou the practice of his profession. South Ameriruns Reverence Coca. From time out of mind the tribesof tbc of the southern continent have regarded coca with extreme reverence, worshiping the shrub iUelf and using its leaves in their religious ceremonies. Inca priests chewed it during divine service, and it was believed that, unless those worthies were well supplied with coca the favor of the gods could not bo propitiated. During the 350 years that have inter vened Christianity has not been able to eradicate this deep-rooted idolatry. To this day it is the general belief that any business undertaken without the bene diction of coca leaves cannot prosper. The Indian workmen throw coca suds upon hard veins of metal to soften the ore and lighten their labors. In every ancient grave a supply of coca leaves is found with the mummy, and the Indians of to-day put the same into the mouths of their dead in order to secure for them a more favorable reception in the unknown world. Whenever a wander ing Peruvian happens la fall in with a mummy, a uot uncommon occurence, since the whole country is one vast ceme tery, he reverently presents it with a few coca leaves, believing that the soul which once inhabited the shriveled body will report his generosity to the lord of the better country.— Washington Star. Sparrows as Nurses. In the Jersey City ferry-house of the Pavonia Ferry, a few days ago, the pas- ! sengert watched with much interest a I flock of sparrows taking care of one of 1 their number, who was evidently very sick. There was much chippering among the birds, until it was finally set tled to put the patient behind the top cornice of a pillar. Tho sick bird was | then carried between three of its com- paaions and deftly dropped into the chosen place. Then a dozen sparrows perched on the telegraph wire and chip- pored loudly at the passengers beneath. When last seen the sick sparrow was bundled up in some straw.—Niw York World.
