Shaded like an inverted flat-iron—tho broad end toward us—its sheer red walls are crowned with tender green.

Here is the only landing-place. Another village, sociably huddled around the church and lighthouse, looks down from tho “Over land,” and can only he reached by a flight of stairs called tho “Treppc,” or by a “lift" of ample proportions.

CHOKED CATTLE. It is dangerous to try to force or push the obstruction down. Animals have been killed by this process. Some dairy-: men keep a limber stick with a knob on the end to punch the obstruction down,, but this method is also a dangerous one.' A better method Is to draw tho animal's head, while in n stanchion, up with a stout rope, and fasten to tho top; then, having previously melted one-half pint of lard, place it in a bottle while warm, pour it down tho cow’s throat; she will; struggle, and tho more violent the bet-, ter, as the melted grease will make the throat slippery, and then you cau easily work the obstruction up with the hand.' Sometimes they will cough it up. COCKED FOOD FOB POULTKY. Having heard much said about the ef ficacy of cooked food in producing eggs l have tried it, writes a New Jersey far mer, with, I think, considerable success.' f boil potato parings and other stuff from the kitchen and thicken it with wheat bran. 1 commonly give it to tho hens cold, though many say feed warm food, but I have not discovered that to make any difference, I am quite certain that feoding much corn is bad for laying hens —it will make fat but not eggs. For quite a while I gave my hens no grain at all, but always some wheat brna with their lioiled food, and this was the time when I got tho most eggs.—.Yew York World. TAU-WATKR FOB CABBAGE WORMS. According to no less an authority than Mr. A. 8. Fuller, tnr-water is au effective kill-cure for tho cabbage worm. It is stated that Mr. Fuller's early cabbages were being rapidly destroyed by these worms, but “one sprinkling with tnr-. water, applied with a watering-pot, de stroyed every worm and egg.” Tho tar- water is prepared by placing a quart or two of coal-tar in a tub or barrel, and filling up with water. In about forty- eight hours tho water will smell strongly of tar, when it may bo applied to tho plants with a syringe or common water ing-pot. If tar-water destroys the eggs^ as aflirmed, and docs not injure tho growth nor tho quality of the cabbage,, frequent seasonable applications of it, thus destroying tho eggs, would seem, to he all that is required as a complete and practical cabbage-worm remedy.—Hew York Witness. Livnro FROM A CARDEV. It is no exaggeration to say that a good garden well cared for will furnish a largo family with much of the food they eat and nearly everything except bread,meat and butter from early in June until frosts cut off the supplies. If the garden ho what it should bo it will give far more than half of the money value of what is consumed from the farmer’s table. It is by making most of the advantages that farmers possess that they can stem the prevailing tide from country to the city. It ought to bo stemmed; but what ad vantage can the city resident see,if when he visits his farmer friends he finds some of the family posted off in haste to the city to get vegetables, often canned, which a little earo and labor on the fanner's part would enable him to supply from his own garden. It is true the farmer Bays lie cannot spare the time. Why can not he? Simply because he devotes go much of his labor to growing crops, which after selling do not leave him enough to pay his hired help. That alone ought to satisfy him that a change in the programme is needed. Suppose next year he concludes to grow less to sell, to hire less help and devote more of his own time to tho garden. It is, or ought to bo, the richest spot on Ids farm, and will pay better than any other for the labor bestowed upon it.—Boston Cultivator. FEED DOWN THE MEADOWS. It has been generally taught by our best farmers that it was wrong to pasture meadows in the fall and that the best re sults could only be attained by allowing the aftergrowth to go down to protect tho roots in winter and to enrich the soil for future production, says 8. E. Rico in Hew England Homestead. Assenting to that theory without bringing it to the test of experiment was tho greatest mistake that I ever made in farming. To-day I assert that It is only theory; and that actual experiment on many farms will prove it a false theory. Twenty years ago, while keeping a diary of fifty to sixty cows, my practice was strictly in accordance with this theory and no pas turing of meadows in tho fall was al lowed. A friend of mine, one of tho best farmers of my acquaintance, told me that my practice was wrong and took me to one of his fields to show an ex periment, proving that tho removal of tho second growth was no detriment to tho succeeding crop. Ho had moved and removed tho second grow th from a part of tho field tho fall before, leaving a part uncut. Tho fall growth was not so heavy os to smother or kill the grass, and if tho above theory were true, the succeeding crop should have been much tho best on the uncut portion of tho field. Exactly the opposite of this was true, and when I saw the field just before haying tho boundary between the two parts was plain enough to attract the attention of anyone passing by. Tho part from which tho fall growth had been removed I judged to be twenty-flvo per cent, better than the other. ESSENTIALS IN ORAFE OROWINO. Mildew and rot are tho great obstacles in thowoy of profitable grape culture in this country, and while a knowledge of the remedies and preventives that have in many cases saved valuable crops is important to any one who would engage in grape-growing, it is oven more Im portant that the climatic conditions for success sljpuld also be understood. The mildew which attacks the under surface is encouraged by dull, cloudy weather, with occasional shpwere, or when heavy dews are deposited where tho moisture caqnot bo readily evaporated. Tho best grape climate or location appears to be where dews ar^.light or altogether ab sent. Instances Sqv given where grapes on a trellis under cover have escaped mildew and rot, while those near by, but without protection, have suffered. I’er- sons who train vines up the side of a house under tho caves of a projecting roof, find the most perfect fruit at the highest point, where it is least exposed to rain and dew. The favorable locations for grape cul ture will usually be found cither sur rounded by largo b< lies of water that modify the climatic coaditions of their reaching two or three hundred feet above the level of the adjacent valleys, and where localities are found ranging from 200 to 1000 feet above the general sur face of the country, there is greater or less iitamunity from spring frosts. Fur thermore, tiie mountains arc less subject to heavy dews than tho lower grounds, and for this reason better adapted to the growth of tho vines. For any extensive culture of tho grape the importance of selecting a location favored by nature canuot be overesti mated. Where mildew and rot prevail successful grape culture cannot be attained without constant and expensive vigilance jn the application of preventives, whicl) even under good management do not always fully protect.—Hew York World. FARM AND.GARDEN NOTES. Farm for profit. Keep up the fertility^ Good crops reduce the cost. The best asters are the traniplanted ones. Tho daphne indica requires good drainage. Feed economically but not at the ex pense of growth. Tho rost of the various crons will vary aiuiv/on v; vvi J jc-ai* No one season can bo taken as a true guide for tho next. islands and the shore districts of tho main lands, or on hillsides at certain eleva tions. As stated in n Government re port, where hills and valleys are closely and distinctly defined there exists at cer tain elevations on the hillside a zone or belt where dews are light or unknown and where frosts are modified. .This zone exists in all countries that arc trav- ersed by high mountains and deep val leys. In a paper rend before tho American Horticultural Society ou “Horticulture in tho Mountain Regions of tho South,” it is said there arc us many of those belts as there are ridges on hills or knobs Sell stock whenever they nro fully ready, irrespective of price. . In threshing take pains to see that all the straw is stacked carefully. Latania borbonica palms are widely used for decorative purposes. Summer pruning is tho best if fol lowed up properly every year. With hogs a quick growth and early maturity determines tho profit. After all the crops aro all harvested is a good time to haul out manure. Tie up roses and chrysanthemums and carnations before they bend and break. I Very comfortable quarters must be provided if pigs are wintered over with profit. Allowing fruit to go to waste is (? 'Stt. part of the farm profits that shouiJ oo saved. In a majority of cases it will bo better to buy whatever bran is needed early in the fall. Pinching tho ends of fuchias not only improves shape,but gives abundance of flowers. Tho new nbutilon eclipse not only has fine foliage but retains its blossoms and blooms freely. Bran can bo fed to tho milk cows nearly every day in tho year with profit if milk is an item. While there is time see that plenty of shelter is provided for all the stock that is to bo wintered over. If you want to get swamp muck the dry summer time is the best to do it in. The muck is lighter when dry. After the stables and sheds are thor oughly cleaned out a good coat of white wash will make them healthier. Tho quality of fodder for feeding is often considerably lessened by allowing it to get too ripe before cutting. A cheap hog and poultry house can readily be made to return a good profit, have water, dry and convenient. If you have nothing better lay in a good supply of dry earth to uso as an ab sorbent in your stables when needed. Apply lime whitewash in your stables, your hen house, your pig pen and every- wlicre that insects can lay their nits. During tho cool weather in tho early fall is the best timo for fattening hogs, and they should bo pushed as rapidly us possible. Two items are important-in draining. One is to secure a good outlet and tho other is to provide a regular descent for tho water. Cut oats as soon as tho meat in the kernel gets doughy. Tho straw will then bo bright and about as good to feed os timothy hay. Cornmeal is excellent for ' fattening pigs, but it needs to have fed with it something more nitrogenous to make muscle and promote growth. Always leave a strip for mowing be tween your growing crop and the pasture fence. It will prevent cattle from reach ing over and breaking the fence. Do not be afraid to furnish your cows a shade for fear they ,will not feed enough. They make milk when chewing tho cub and not when filling the stomach. How Soup is Got From the Turtle. “I was surprised to learn tho other day," said Charlie Schwoickardt, “that very few persons not engaged in.. tho restaurant business know how a turtle is killed and prepared for tho soup. Please enlighten mankind by tolling them that a turtle is killed by cuttibg its head off. You know that at the least sign of danger tho turtle will draw his head into his shell, and then you have to resort either to strategy or brutality to mako him put out his head again. This Object may be accomplished by hanging the turtle up iiy tho tail. This will cause his head to drop down and then a sharp knife will do the rest of the work. Some people have an idea that tho turtle ns soou as ho is killed is thrown right into tho pot and boiled into soup. When the turtle is dead the breastplate is sawed in two and an opening to insert tho scouring knife is made. Then tho ex pert deftly curves tho knifo in such a manner us to remove tho liockpluto with out taking a particle of moat with it. Tho entrails aro secured and then tho rear body of tho turtle is put in tho pot and tho vegetables and other accessories added with hot water. Then let it boil and you will soon have good turtle soup.”—St. Ijouis Bepublic. riilornfurmiiig a Hull. The Buenos Ayres Standard notices what it calls an extraordinary veterinary operation which it says is [>crhii|>s one of tiie most, if not tho most, successful veterinary operation of modern surgery, on an imported bull, the property of tho trustees of the late Signor Corti, which was purchased last year for the sum of $5(MH) in gold. Tho statement is as follows: “For some timo past a largo growth lias been forming on the throat of this animal, and yesterday Mr. Mit chell decided to remove the obstruction which endangered the hull’s life, and most successfully removed a tumor, of twenty-four ounces weight, sections of which he has forwarded to a specialist for microscopical examination. This is, perhaps, the only case on record of a hull being chloroformed, it taking as much as teu ounces chloroform and six ounces of ether before ho was under the influ ence. ’ As to the removal of the tumor it is one of the simplest of veterinary opera tions. As to chloroforming an animal it has long been practiced in the United Stoics in connection with o[>crNti»ns, but also m Chicago in tho vivisection of animals to eliminate pain.—Farm, Field and Stockman. Herr Krupp, tho great German gun manufacturer, has a plan for connecting the city of Vienna with tho Danube by canal. Tiie Austrian Government is con sidering it, REV. DR. TALMAGK THE BROOKLYN DIVINE’S SUN DAY SERMON. Dr. Tnlinago has begun a seriesof sermons on his recent trip to tho Holy Laud. Tho following is tho first sermon ot tho series: Text: "The half was not told me.”—I Kings M. r 7. This is the first sermon in n course of 8ab- Doth nmrmng sermons on “My Recent Jour ney Through the Holy Lund and Neighbor ing Countries: What I Saw and What l Learned.” Out of the sixty-four millions of our present American imputation and tho millions of our past only about live thousand have ever visited tho Holy Land. Of all those who cross to Europe less than live per cent, ever get as far as Rome, and less than two percent, ever get td Athens, and less than a quarter of one per cent, ever get to 1 albstine. Of tho less than a quarter of one per 'cent; who do go to the Holy Laud some see nothing but the noxious inserts and tho filth of the Oriental cities, and come back wishing ther had never gone. Of those who see much of interest anti come home only a small portion can tell what they have seen the tongue uliable to report the eye. The rarity of a successful, intelligent and happy Journev through tho Holy Land is very marked. Rut the time approaches when a journey to Palestine will bo common. Thousands will go where now there aro scores. Two locomotives wore recently sent up from Joppa to Jerusalem, and railroads are about to begin in Palestine, ami the day will come when the cry will be, “All out for Jerusalem!” “Twenty minutes for break fast at Tiberias!” “Change ears for Tyro!” “Grand Trunk Junction for Ninevah!’* “All out for Damascus!” Meanwhile the wet locks of the Atlantic Ocean and Adriatic and Medi terranean Seas are beine shorn,and not only is the voyage shortened, but after a while, without crossing the ocean, you or your chil dren will visit the Holy Land. A company of capitalists have gone up to Behring Straite, whore the American and Asiatic continents come within thirty-six miles of meeting. These capitalists or others will build a bridge across these straits, for midway are three islands called “The Diomedes/and the water is not deep and is never disturbed with icebergs. Trains of cars will run from America across that bridge and on down through Siberia, bringing under more im mediate observation the Russian outfai against exiles and consequently abolishing thorn; and there aro persons here to-day, who, without one qualm of sea-sickness, will visit that wonderful land where the Cnrist- like, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic, Solo monic and Herodic histories overlap each other with such power that by the time I took my feet out of the stirrups at tho closo of the journey I felt so*wrung out with emo tion that it seemed nothing else could ever absorb my feelings again. The chief hindrance for going to Palestine with many is the dreadful sea, and though I have crossed it ten times it is more dreadful every time, and 1 fully symptitJlizo with what was said one night when Mr. Beecher and I went over to speak in New York at the an niversary of the Seamen’s Friend Society, and tho clergyman making the opening K ayer quoted from Bfc. John, “There shall no more sea,” and Mr. Beecher, seated be side me. in memory of a recent ocean voyage said, “Amen; lam glad of that.” By tho partial abolition of the Atlantic Ocean and the putting down of rail tracks across every country in all the world, the most sacred land on earth will come under the observa tion of so many people who will bo ready to tell of what they saw th:it> infidelity will he pronounced only another form of insanity, for no honest man can visit the Holy Laud and remain an infidel. This Bible from which T preach has almost fallen apart, for 1 read from it the most of the events in it recorded on the very places where they occurred. Ami some of the leaves got wet as the waves dashed over our boat on Lake Galilee, and the book was jostled in the saddle bags for many weeks, but it is a new book to me, newer than any book that yesterday came out of any of our ( peat printing houses. All my life I had icard of Palestine, and I had read about it, and talked about it, and preached about it, and sung'about it, and dreamed about it, and prayed about it, until my anticipations were piled up into something like Himalayan proportions, and yet I have to cry out, as did the Queen of Sheba when she first visited the Holy Laud, “The lialli was not told in order to make the more accurate and vivid a book I have been writing, a life of Christ, entitled “From Manger to Throne,”! left home lost (Ictober, and on the last night of November wo were walking the decks of the Senegal, a Mediterranean steamer. It was a ship of immense proportions. There were but few passengers, for it is generally rough at that time of year, and pleasurists are not apt to bo voyagers there and then. The stars were all out that night. Those ar mies of light seemed to have had their shields newly burnished. We walked the polished deck. Not much was said, for in all our hearts was the dominant word “to-morrow.” Somehow the Acropolis, which a few days before had thrilled us at Athens, now in our minds lessened in tho height of its columns and the glory of its temples. And the Egyp tian pyramids in our memory lessened their wonders of obsolete masonry, and the Colis eum of Rome was not so vast a ruin as it a few weeks before had seemed to be. And all that we had seen and heard dwindled In importance, for to-morrow, to morrow we shall see the Holy Land. “Cap tain, what time will we come in sight of Palestine!” “Well.” ho said, “if the wind ami sea remain as they are,about daybreak.” Never was I so impatient for a night to pass. I could not soo much uso for that night, anyhow. I pulled aside the curtain from tho porthole of my stateroom, so that the first hint of dawn would waken me. But it was a useless precaution. Sloop was among the impossibilities. Who could be so st upid as to slumber when any moment there might start out within sight of the ship the land where the most stupendous scenes of all time and all eternity were enacted—land of ruin and redemption, laud where was fought tho battle that made our heaven possible, land of Godfrey and yaladin, of Joshua and Jesus! Will tho night over bo gone? Yes, it is prowing lighter, and along tne horizon there is something like a bank of clouds, and as a watchman paces the dpek I say to him, “What is that out yonder?” “That is land, sir,” said tho sailor. “The land!” I cried, and soon all our friends were arroused from sleep and the shore began more clearly to reveal itself. With roar and rattle ana bang tho anchor dropped in the roadstead a half mile from land, for though Joppa is the only har bor of Palestine it is the worst harbor on all the coasts. Sometimes for weeks no ships stop there. Between rocks about seventy- five feet apart a small boat must take the passengers ashore. The depths are strewn with the skeletons of those who have at tempted to land or attempted to embark. Twenty-seven pilgrims perished with one crash of a boat against the rocks. Whole fleets of Crusaders, of Romans, of Syrians, «»f EovnttanH have rroue tosoliuters there. A writer eight hundred years ago said he stood on the beach in a storm at Joppa, and out of thirty ships all but seven went to pieces on the rocks, and a thousand of tho dead were washed ashore. Grange that with a few blasts of powder like that which shattered our American Hell Gate those rocks have not been uprooted and the way cleared, so that groat ships, instead of anchoring far out from land, might sweep up to tho wharf for passengers and freight. But you mustrememober that land is under the Turk, and what the Turk touches he withers. Mohammedanism is against easy wharves, against steamers, against rail trains, against printing presses, against civ ilization. Darkness is always opposed to light. The owl hates the morn “Leave those rocks where they are,” practically cries the Turkish Government; “we want no poo- bo the only manner of making any Impres- ?imt there, clears our way into one of the boats, which heads for tho shore. We aro Within fifteen minutes df the Christ land. No.w we hear sltquting from the boficb, and ih five minutes we will belauded. Tho prow of the boat is caught by men who wade out to help us in. We are tremulous with suppressed excite ment, our breath is quick, ana from the side of the boat we spring to tho shore, and Sun day morning, December 1, 1889, about eight o’clock, our feet touch Palestine. Forever tome aud mine will that day and hour bo commemorated for that pro-eminent mercy. Let it be mentioned in prayer by my chil dren and children’s children after we are gone, that morning wo were i>ermitted to enter that land and gaze upon those holy hills and feel the emotions tnat rise and fall and weep and laugh and sing and triumph at such a disomliarkfttiom Oh the back Of the hills oile hundred atid fifty feet high Joppa is lifted toward the skies. It is as picturesque as it is quaint. (Md as much unlike any city we have ever seen, as though it were built in that star Mitt's, where a few nights ago this very September astronomers,through unparalleled telescopes, saw a snow storm raging. How glad we were to be in Joppa! Why, this is the city where Dorcas, that queen of the needle, lived and died and was resurrected. You remember that the |)oor people came around the dead l>ody of this benefactress, and brought speci mens of her kind needlework and said: “Dorcas made this,” “Dorcas sewed that,” “Dorcas cut and fitted this,” “Dorcas hemmed that.” According to Lightfoot, tho commentator, t hey laid her out in state in a public room, amt the poor wruug their hands and cried nnH sent for Peter who nerformed a miracle by wmun the gooit w oman came bacx to me ami resumed her lienofactions. An especial resurrection day for one woman! Sho was tho model by which many women of our day have fashioned their lives, and at tho first blast of the horn of wintry tempest there ap pear ten thousand Dorcases—Dorcases of Brooklyn, Dorcases of New York, Dorcases of London, Dorcases of all the neighborhoods and towns and cities of Christendom—just as good as the Dorcas of Joppa which I visited. Thank God for the ever increasing skill and sharpness and speed and generosity of Dor- cas*b needle. “What is that man doing?” I said to the dragoman in tho streets of Joppd. “Oh, he is carrying his bed.’* Multitudes of people sleep out of doors, and that is the way so many in those lands become blind. It is from the dew of the night falling oil the eyelids. As a result of this, in Egypt every twentieth person is totally blind. Ill Oriental lands the lied is made of a thin, small mattress, a blanket and a pillow, and when tho man rises in the morning he just ties up the three into a bundle and shoulders it and takes it away. It w’os to that the Saviour referred when He said to the sick man: “Take up thy bed and walk.” An American couch or an English couch would require at least four men to carry it, but one Oriental can easily manage his slumber equipment. But I iuhale some of the odors of the large tanneries around Joppa. It is there to this day, a prosperous business, this tanning of hides. And that reminds mo of Biinon, the tanner, who lived at Joppa and \fras tho host of Peter, the apostle. J suppose the olfac tories of Peter were as easily Insulted by the odors of a tannery as others. But the Bible says, “He lodged with one Simon, the tan ner.” People who go out to do reformatory and missionary and Christian work must not be too sensitive. Simon no doubt brought to his homestead every night the malodors of tho calfskins an 1 ox hides in his tannery, but Peter lodged in that home, not only be cause he may not have been invited to the houses of merchant princes, surrounded by redolent gardens, but to teach all men and women engaged in trying to make the world better that they nui-L not be squeamish and fastidious and fluieul aud over particular in doing the work of t!v* world. The church of Go 1 is dying of fastidious ness. We cry over the sufferings of the world in hundred doliar pocket handker chiefs, and then put a cent In the poor box. There aro many willing to do Christian work among the Cleanly, and tho refined, and the elegant, ami the educated, but excuse them from taking a loaf of bread down a dirty al ley, excuse them from teaching a mission school among the uncombed and the unwash ed, excuse them from touching the baud of one whose finger nails are in mourning for departed soap. Such religious precisionists can toil in atmospheres laden with honey suckle and rosemary, but not in air floating up from the malodorous vats. No f no, no! Excuse them from living with one Simon,the tanner. During the last war there were in Virginia some sixty or seventy wounded soldiers in a barn, on the second floor, so near th * roof ♦ hat the heat of the August huh was almost insupportable. The men were dying from sheer exhaustion and suffocation. A distin guished member of the Christian commission said to the nurse who stood there, “Wash the ‘■"tiva mm) foef of fht“-»end it will revive them.” ’‘No,” said the nurse, “Ididn’tcome into the army to wash anybody’s feet.” “Well,” said the distinguished member of the commission, “bring me water and a towel;! will be very glad to wash their feet .” One was tho spirit of the devil, the other the spirit of Christ. But reference to Peter reminds me that we must go to tho housetop in Joppa where he was taught the democracy of religion. That was about the queerest t iing that ever hap pened. On our way up to that housetop we passed an old well where the great stones were worn deep with the ropes of the buck ets, and it must be a well many centuries old, and I think Peter drank out. of it. Four or five goat or calfskins filled with water lay about the yard. Wo s >on got up the steps aud on the housetop. It was in such a placy in Joppa that Peter one noon while ho was waiting for dinner had a hungry fit and fainted away, and had a vision or dream or trance. I said to my family and friends on that housetop. “Listen while I read about wluit happened bore.” And opening the Bible we had the whole story. It seems that Peter on tho housetop dreamed that a groat blanket was let down out of heaven, and in it were sheep and goats and cattle ami mules aud pigeons and buz- ,^-zards and snakes and all manner of creatures that Ily the air, or walk the field, or crawl the earth, and in tho dream a voice told him as he was hungry to oat, and ho said, “I can not cat things unclean.” Thr(>o times he 1 reamed it. There was then heard a knock ing at tho gate of the house on the top of which Peter lay in a trance, and three men Risked, “Is Peter here?” Peter, while yet wondering what his dream meant, descends ike stairs ami meets those strangers at the gate, and they toll him that a good man by the name of Cornelius, in the city of Caesarea, has also had a dream aud has sent them for Peter and to ask him to come ami preach. At that cull Peter left Joppa for Ciesarea. Tho dream he hail just hail prepared him to preach, for Peter learned by it to reject no people as unclean, and whereas he previously thought he must preach only to the Jews, now he goes to preach to the Gentiles, who Wore considered unclean. i Notice how the two dreams meet—Peter’s •earn on tho housetop, Cornelius dream at Ciesarea. So I have noticed providences meet, distant events meet, dreams meet. Every dream is hunting up some other dream, and every event is searching for some other event. In the Fifteenth century (1492) the great event was the discovery of America. The art of printing, born in the same century, goes out to meet that discovery and make tho Now W.orld an intelligent world. The Declaration of Independence, announcing equal rights, meets Robert Burns’s A man's a man for a’ that. Tho United States was getting too large to be managed by one Government, and tele graphy was invented to compress within an ndurthe whole continent. Armies in the Civil War were to be fitted out with clothing, and the sewing machine invention came out tpniake it possible. Immense farming acre age is presented in this country, enough to sapport millions of our native born and nhllions of foreigners; but tho oi l stylo of p|bw and scythe and reaper and thresher 1 >le of other religions and other habits to and there; if the salt sens wash over them let it be a warning to other invaders; a way with your nineteenth century, with its free thought aud its modern inventions.” That Turkish Government ought to be blotted from the face of the earth, aud it will be. Of many of the inhabit ants of Palestine I asked the question, “Has the Sultan of Tur key over been here?” Answer, “No.” “Why don’t he come, when it belongs to his do minion?” And, after tho man interrogated looked this way and that, so as to know ho would not be roporto l, tin* answer would in variably be, “He dare not come.” I believed it. If the Sultan of Turkey attempted to visit Jerusalem he would never get back •gain. All Palestine hates him. I saw him go to tho mosque for prayers in his own city of Constantinople, and saw seven thousand armed men riding out to protect Him. Expen sive prayers! Of course that Government wants no better hnrix>r at Joppa, May God remove that curse «»t nations, time bid bag of the centuries, the Turkish Government I For its evorlaetlng hisult to Go l and woman let it perish! And so those rocks at the harbor remain the jaws of repeated destruction As we descended tho narrow steps at tho side of the ship we heard the clamor and ouarrel and swearing of fifteen or sixteen different races of men of all features, and all colors and all vernaculars* all different in appearance, but all alike in desire to get our bftgKftK© and ourselves at exorbitant prices. Twenty boats and only ton passengers to go ashore. The man having charge of us-pushes aside some, and strikes with a heavy stick others, and by violences that would not be tolerated in our country, but which seem to cannot do the work, and there come steam (mows, steam harrows, steam reapers, steam rakes, steam threshers, and the work is ac- c«i The forests of the earth fail to afford sufficient fuel, and so the coal mines surrender a sufficiency. 'Tiie cotton crops were luxuriant, but of comparatively little value, for they could not be managed; and so, at just the right time, Hargreaves came with his invent ion of tho spinning jenny, then Arkwright with bis roller, and Whitney with ins cotton gin. Tho world, after pot tering along with tallow candles and whale oil, was crying for lietter light and more of it, aud the hill of Pennsylvania poured out rivers of oil, and kerosene illumined tho na tions. But the oil wells began to fail, and then the electric light comes forth to turn night into day. Ho all events are woven together, and tho world is magnificently governed, because it is divinely governed. We criticise things and think the divine machinery is going wrong, and nut our fingers amid the wneels only to got them crushed. Hut I say, hands off! Things are coming out gloriously. Cor nsliiis may be in Cuesarea, and Peter ir. Joppn, but their dreams meet. It is one hand that is managing the world, and that is hand.* ark.! nnn mind that, in nlannitur an tumgit»or g«»ow, aim tuau dv<*ouk mum; and one heart that is filled with love and pardon and sympathy, aud that is God’s heart. Have faith in Him. Fret about noth- ing. Things nro not at loose ends. There are no accidents. All will come out right in your history anil in tho world. As you are waking from ono dream up stairs an ex planatory dream will be knocking at the gate down stairs. blanding here in Joppa i remember that trhefe we this morning disembarked the prophet J on ah embrtrkeoT For the first time (n my life I fiilly Understood that story. God told Jonah to go to Nineveh, but the prophet declined that call arid came here to Joppa. Itfas fot* weeks,' while iff the.Holy Laud, consulting with tourist compdnfes as to how I could take Nineveh in my journey They did not encourage the undertaking. It fi a most tedious ride to Nineveh amid a desert. No* I see an additional reason why Jonah did not want to gc to Ntffevoh. Ho not only revolted because it whs a long way and tough, and bandit infested, so he came here to Joppa and took ship. But, alas, for the disastrous voyage! He paid his full fare for the whole voyage, but the ship company did not fill their part of the contract. To this day they have not paid back that pas sage money. Why people should doubt the story of Jonah and the whale is more of a mystery than the Bible event itself. I do Hot need tho fact that Pliny, the historian, records that the skeleton of a whale forty feet long; and With a hide a foot and a half thick, was brought front Jopnato Rome. The everit recorded in the nook of Jonah has occurred a thousand tinies. The Lord always has d whale outside the lirtbor for a man who starts In the wrorig dir 'ction. Rec reant Jonah! 1 do not wonder that even the' whale was sick of him. This prophet was put in the Bible not as an example, out as a warning, because tho world not only needs lighthouses, but buoys, to show where tho rocks are. The Bible story of him ends by showing tho prophet in a fit of the sulks. He was mad because Nineveh was not destroyed, and then he went out to pout, and sat under a big loaf, using it for shade from tho tropi cal sun, and when a worm disturbed that leaf, and it withered, and tho sun smote Jonah, he flew into a groat rage, and said: “It is better for me to die than to live.” A prophet in a rago because he hud lost his umbrella! Beware of petulance! But. standing here on the housetop at Jop pa, I look off upon the sands near the beach, and I almost expected to find them crim soned and incarnadined. But no; the rains long ago washed away the last sign of the Napoleonic massacre. Napoleon was march ing on through tho coasts. He had hero at Joppa four thousand Albanians, who had been surrendered as prisoners of war, and under a promise of protection. What shall he do with them? It will be impossible for him to take them along, and he cannot afford to leave soldiers enough to guard them from escape. It will not be difficult for the man who broke the heart of lovely Josephine, and who, when asked if the great losses of life in hfe battles were not too dear a price to pay for victories «*t»r-»cro"ed Hfa oV»'Mi •lor® mirtntUlly and said, “You must break the eggs if you want to mako an omelet”—I say it will not bo difficult for him to decide. The prisoners of war by his order are taken out on the sands and put to death—one thou sand of them, two thousand of them, three thousand of thorn, four thousand of them, massacred. And the blood pours down into the sea, the red of the one mingling with the blue of the other, and making an awful maroon which neither (rod nor nation can < ver forget. Ye who aro fond of vivid con trasts put the two scenes of Joppa side by side, Dorcas with her nee lie, and the im mortal butcher with his knife. But standing on this Joppa house top I look off on the Mediterranean, and what is that strange sight 1 see? Tho waters are black, seemingly for miles. There seems to be a great multitude of logs fastened to gether. Oh, yes, it is a great raft of timbers. They are cedars of Lebanon, which King Hiram is furnishing King Holomon in ex change for 20,000 measures of wheat, 20,000 baths of oil and 20,000 baths of wine. These cedars have been cut down and trimm-d in the mountains of Lebanon by the 70,000 ax- men engaged there, and with great withes and iron bolts are fastened together,and they are floating down to Joppa to betaken across the land for Solomon’s temple, now building at Jerusalem, for wo have lost our hold of the Nineteenth century and are clear back in the ages. The rafts of cedar nro guided into what is called the Moon Pool, an old harbor south of Joppa, now filled with sand and useless. With long pikes the timber is pushed this way and tiiat in the water, then with divers and manv a loud, long ‘To, heave!” as the carters get their shoulder under the great weight, the timber is fastened to the wag ons ami the lowing oxen are yoked to tho load, and the procession of teams moves on with crack of whip and drawled out. words which, translated, I suppose would corre spond with the “Whoa, haw, gee!” of mod ern teamsters, toward Jerusalem, which is thirty miles away over mountainous dis tances which for hundreds of years defied all engineering. And those rough cedars shall become carved pillars ami beautiful altars, and rounded bannisters, and trac- eried panels, and sublime ceiling, and ex quisite harps and klugly chariots. As the wagon train moves out from Joppa over the plain of Hharon toward Jerusalem I say to myself, what vast numbers of people helped build that temple of Holomon, and what vast numbers of people are now en gaged in building the wider, higher, grander temple of righteousness rising in tho earth. Our Christian ancestry toiled at it, amid sweat and tears, and hundreds of the genera tions of the good, and tho long train of Christian workers still moves on; and as in the construction of Solomon’s temple somo hewed with the ax in the far away Lebanon, and some drove a wedge, and some twisted a withe, and some trod the wet and slippery rafts on the sea, and some yoked the ox, and some pulled at tho load, and some shoved the plane, and some fitted the joints, and some heaved up the rafters, but all helped build the tem ple, though some of these never saw it, so now let us all put our hands, and our shoul ders, and our hearts to tho work of building the temple of righteousness, which is to fill the earth; and one will bind a wound, and another will wipe away a tear, and another will teach a class, and another will speak tho encouraging word, and all of us will lie ready to pull and litt, ami in some way help on tho work until the millenial mom shall gild the pinnacle of that finished temple, and at its shining gates the world shall put down its last burden, and in its layers wash off its Inst strain, and at its altars the lost wanderer shall kneel. At the deification of that tem ple all tho armies of earth and heaven will “shoulder arms” and “pre;ent arms'’ and “ground arms,” for “behold! a greater than Solomon is here.” But my first day in the Holy Land is ended. The sun is already closing his eye for the night. I stand on the balcony of a hotel which was brought to Joppa in pieces from the State of Maine by some fanatics who came here expecting to see Christ reapfiear in Palestine. My room here was once occupied by that Christian hero of the centuries—English, Chinese, Egyptian, world-wide General Gordon, a man mighty for God ns well ns for the world’s pacification. Although the first of December and winter, the air is full of fra grance from gardens all a-bloom, and under my window are acacia aud tamarisk and mulberry and century plants and orange groves and oleander. From the drowsiness of the air and the fatigues of the day I feel sleepy. Good night! To-morrow morning we start for Jerusalem. The 'i'cmlessee DeiiiiHTulic executive committee has decided that Mr. Buchanan, the Democratic candidate lor Governor, shall not meet, his Republican and I’ro hihition competitors in joint debate.

HOOD A CO., Lowell, Mass I OO Poses One Dollar Hoary Damages for Railroad Injuries, The heaviest damages that were ever paid for un injury to a single man wus 14(5,000, paid by the Grand Trunk, After trying the ruse three times. Tho jury increased tho damages at each trial. Among the most costly accidents ever known in the country were those on the New York Central at N«w Hamburg, on the Lake Shore at Ashtabula, Ort the Frtstern at Revere, and on tho West Jer sey at May’s Landing. Tho last was proportionately th'e rheapnst settled, as the company paid only $81,000 for about nineteen deaths and injuries to about twice as many. The collision at Revere cost the East ern over $400,000 for less than twenty deaths, among them two distinguished clergymen; tho Ashtabula cost over a quarter of a million, and t ne at WollaS. ton, on tho Old Colony, cost about the same. Tho Eastern settled one case, growing out of tho Revere accident, for $25,000, Without taking it into court. Tho Clmtsworth accident, on the Toledo, Peoria & Western, wus tho most costly to human life, the deaths being 141, hut the claims were settled for about a quar ter of a million, ns tho company could not pay any more. If the case had been pushed the stockholders would have been obliged to hand over the road; their equity in it after the first mortgage whs little more than the loss.—Mail and Eijiress. Electric Rutter Making. An interesting application of electric ity to the dairy industry has been made in Italy. Tho Count of Assata, whose buildings are fitted tip with electric light, has connected his dairy plant with an electric motor of twelve horse-power. This machine drives a Danish separator and a Dutch churn of considerable size, churning being conducted at the rate of 120 to 160 revolutions per minute, the butter being brought in from thirty to thirty-five minutes, in fine grains, which, it is now recognized, enable the maker to produce tho finest article.
