FOOT-BALL."The hardest game we over played,"

so declared each member of the Ham-moDion team, even Woleeiffer, after thetusale with the "Country Club" atHaddon field, last Saturday. Yes, wewere beaten 14-0, but the wonder ia,considering our opponents, that thescore was not worse. The "CountryClub" was made up partly of JeffersonCollege playere, and ex-players of theregular teams of Princeton, Harvard,and Yale. "Kosengarten, of Princeton'95, was the moving epirit of the Had-donQelds, and made moat of their gains.Their line weighed at least 20 poundsper man heavier than ours.

Early in the game, Jones was com-pelled to leave the field; Stackhouaowas given us by the Haddbnflelds, andhe played a good game.. Later, Davi-son was knocked senseless for a time,and left the field.

Although we would not like to criti-cise the officials, it seems strange thatour opponents should be given 165 yardsfor ofluide plays, and a free kick, whilethey were not penalized at all. Disin-terested spectators declared our boys toba no lees observant of rules than thevictors. It will * be observed that 165yards will equal three touch-downs from'the centre of the field.

Hammonton bad the kick-off, and thereturn was blocked on their ten-yardline.. Then the penalties began. Bymoderate gains and awards, the ballwas forced to near onr goal line, andLongacre (ex- Yale) made the touch-down. Ko goal.

In the last of the first half, with theball in the centre, there were but fourminutes to play. Yet in those four (?)minutes, by short gains (none over fiveyards) they made another touch-down,Rosengarten did it, and kicked the goal.Pretty lone; minutes, we think.

The second half was a pretty one towitness. Jackson and Eoseugarten try-ing their respective pedal muscles, goingrarely for the line. Jackson is a kickerfrom away-back, and never fails to gain.Rosengarten was blocked several times,while Jacksoo, by bis own wariness andhelp from .the line, escaped that fate.

Once the Countryites secured the ballon first down within our five yard line.Two short gains brought it to about afoot of our goal. Hero we certainlyshowed how to play the game. Secur-ing the sphere on a fumble, Jacksonmade a skillful kick and sent it flyingoff down the field. With the ball inHaddonfleld'B territory, and in theirpossession, it was passed back for akick. There was a fumble, throwingour boys off their guard ; but Eoaengar-ten gathered up the pigskin and, skirt-ing the ends for 85 yards with a goodInterference, made the last touch-down.No goal. The miss was duo to Wol-7elfler'B foxy playing, getting Roaengar-ten too much rattled to kick with hisusual caro. The line-up : >

DEAR MR. EDITOR :The 'Journal man says he ia tired of

''shootHig in the dark.'' It would havebeen more manly ia him to acknowledgedefeat; but amounts to the same thing.Even if he does give up his attempt lodefend those who propose to introduceevil among us, I will continue to pegaway to keep it out. I know I am ontho right side; but possibly riuht willnot win this time. The Devil's ownwill have to answer for that,

I will uot apologize for any referenceto the evil which the Journal man isaiding to bring here. I have said no-thing lor which an apology IB needed.Wine makes a man druuk; drunkennesscauses depravity, corrupts moral sensi-bilities, causes a man to see evil in whatia good. If I should say "grapes," he.would ihiuk wine; if I say "rye" hethinks. whisky, tuid so through the wholelexicon. His eye like the buzzard'sdwells upon the carrion in the cloverfield.1 But perhaps a dose, of Hell'sreigo might waken our people and curethem of all desire for any form of evil.Some of our good men advocate thegranting of all applications for license,from this motive.

Th«j Journal has not apologized-fordisloyalty to the-good people of Ham-monton. It not only advocates u vviue-

now, but did iu worst to elect acouncil which would licuuso rum-bolesfor the damnation )>l". other men's chil-dren.

Which is worse, anyhow?GOOD MORALS.

DISCOVERIES IN BABYLON.

geoord of tbo Sacking of the City 70OYearn Before Chrlat.

During the last few years the workif arclme'ologlcal exploration In Baby-lonia has been almost entirely confinedlo the labors of tho American expedi-tion, which has been engaged for sev-iral years In the systematic exploration»f. the great mound of Nlffior, In centralBabyloula, the site of the ancient city»f NIpur, and to the partially resumedivork of M. De Sarzec at Tello, theindent Lasnsh. The discoveries madeby these explorers have been'of greatImportance, but they chiefly related tothe earliest days of the Chaldean em-pire, as far hack as 4,000 years beforethe Christian era. Important as theseaiscoveries are, as furnishing us withthe material with which to study theSawn of civilization in Chaldea, therehas always been a desire that weshould obtain sointe Inscribed records,possibly hlstorlcaljlnscrlptions of theperiod of the new Babylonian empire(B. C. 000-538), especially of the reignsof Nebuchadnezzar II. and Nabonidus.With the exception of the Babylonianchronicle of tho rolpn of the latter mon-arch and a fe«,- historical notices In hiscylinder inscriptions, we have but littleIndication of the existence of historicalrecords. A discovery of the greatestimportance has Just been made byFather Schell, who'has for some timebeen exploring in Babylonia. In theMujelibeh mound, one of the principalheaps of rains in the onclente of Baby-lon, he has discovered a long Inscrip-tion of Nabonidus, the last of the Baby-lonian kings (B. C. 555-538), which con.tains a mass of historical and otherdata which will be of the greatest Talueto students of this important period ofBabylonian history. The monument laquestion is a small Stella of diorite, the,upper part of which In broken, to-Bcribed with eleven columns of writ-ing, and which appears to bare lieenerected early in the king's reign. It re-sembles in some measure the celebratedIndian house Inscription of Nebuchad-nezzar, but is much more fall of histor-ical matter. Its value may be estimat-ed when it la stated that It contains arecord of the war of revenge conductedby the Babylonians and their Mandlauallies against Assyria, for the destruc-tion of the city of .Sennacherib, in B.C. COS; an account of the election andcoronation of Nabonidus in B. C. 55o,and the wonderful dream in whichNebuchadnezzar appeared to him, as•well as an account of the restoration ofthe Temple of the Moon god at Khar-ran, accompanied by a chronologicalrecord of tho so-called Scythian in-vasion. There is also a valuable ref-erence, to tho murder of Sennacheribby his son In Tebet, B. C. 081.

It -will bo seen, therefore, that wohave thus recovered from the ruins ofBabylon a moat valuable record. TheIncription opens with a vory graphicalrecital of tho terrible nack of the holycity of Babylon In B. C. COS: "Over allOils land an evil eurso from Ilia heartho uttered; mercy ho showed not; toBabylon ho came, he desecrated UIRtemples, poured out the dust, oram-ilthe sculptures, and broke off tho serv-ices." • Still more Important: IH thostatement that lie "took the Imiul ofthe. Prlnco Merodacli and caused himto enter Into the midst of the city ofA-BSur," where, wo are told, lie "<>n-tabllslicd his scat for twouty-tv.-oyears." After that time ho returned,an the InHoriptlou BO,ys. "Tho king orAssyria, who by the power of Muro-dach tho overthrow of the'laml liad HC-compllHliml, the BOH tho offoprluK ofIlls body with tho tuvord thriiHt himthrough."

Tonirucs tnat Trip.Now and then a person IB found

whose tongue has a peculiar weaknessfor getting tangled up, especially under»rnbfliTasMoemt or excitement. A youthsvho had, In a performance of "Richard[II.," to recite the word.*, "My lord, theDuko of Buckingham Is taken," cain«In ehaklnz with staee frieht. andui-oujjiit uyivfl tun ivouae Dy snoutingout:

"My Iqrd, the Buck of'Duklngham lataken!"

An English clergyman, wno was giv-en occasionally to such transpositions,used one day In a sermon as an Illus-tration the scene at Lucknow, wb.6nJesalo Brown calls out, "Diana ye hearthe pibroch and the slogan?" But hepronounced it:

"Dlnna ye hearths slobrooh and theplgan?"

He did not know that he had madethe blunder until a friend told him of Itafter the,service; nnd then he was somuch humiliated that at the close of theevening service he took.oocaedon to sayto the congregation: "I am told that thismorning I said Uhe efobrooh and thepigan;M meant to have said the 'ellb-roch and the pogani' Receive theblessing." . '

Another minister could never say,"Sweet for bitter, and bitter for sweet,"and as the service called for the utter-ance of these words on occasion, hiscongregation had to steel themselves tohear _wl>bhout a burst of laughter thophrase, "Swl'bter for beet, and boot forswltter."

.Macready has told of an actor who,In rendering the words "the poisonedcup," constantly said "the eolsonedpop," to the great delight of his audi-onoea. At last, (he managed, by muchpraiotflce, to control Ms utterance sothat In a pnbTle performance he pro-nonnced the pihrase correctly.

Instantly thei-e was an uproar; theaudience missed its customary fun, andwould nort let the man proceed until hehad given the "coisoned pup" Instead.Then he was consoled with shouta ofapplause, >

A Monkey's Accomplishment,No creature but man has ever mad&

use of flre. An African traveler, in-deed, has told a story of apes makinga thieving raid on a camp of natives,and carrying torches to light theirway; but this story lacks proof, and Isnot accepted as true by zoologists.

There is, however, In the Philadel-phia Zoological Garden a monkey whohas learned to scratch matches perfect-ly \voll. This accomplishment he lawilling to exhibit on any occasion. Hehaa learned to hold the match by Itsmiddle part, so that his fingers are notburned by being too near the flame,and so that tho match will not breakby being held too near tho other end.

This fact Involves another, that hola aware which end lias the sulphur,and doosi not attempt to scratch tho tinsulphured und. lie Imn furthermorelearned that a rough surface In bettorto Hcratoh the match on than a smoothone, and his core in looking for a rplace l,i very diverting.

DOES it pay to hold office? If any official in Missouri, cays tboSt. Louis Republic, is asked this jjueflUon, ie -will aay "No."If tho inquiry is followed np wltl fhia question: "Then why

do you seek office?" a multiplicity of answers,, none of them satisfac-tory, will be the result. Tiho truth of the matter Is, there la a fascina-tion about holding otfiee thift malios the victim ns much of a elave, toono respect, ne the-morphine hfiblt fenders those wlio eoroe within itsinflnenccs. It la a fact that few of tHp State offlciale make moro thana good living out of the offices they hold. To people whose income^are much less, this may seem very strange, but whoa all the facts ax»understood, there is nothing myRtentoufl about it, Tho demands mado

, upon State offieiala and their employes are ejwmonfl, T^cy aro ox-pootod to contribute to everything and to 4end email sums to everyhard-up politician woo comes to them. Few such loons aro ever re-turned. Moreovar, an office-holder at toe capital must entertain llb-erally and Hv« well. It Is sold that no Qovornor of Jlissouri slnoo tiedays of McGlurg ever lived within MB official salary, and one Is cred-ited with having spent $25,000 outside of his salary, and outside of hispolitical assessments (Uid campaign expanses. Men who have noother profession but holding ofiJeo, are usually utterly helpless whenthrown out on tho world. They spend their time trying to find somo

Deny Victoria's Kin it.There Is In England a Thames Valley

Legitimist Club. Itspeculior mission lato uphold the right of the Stuart familyto th« throne of Great Britain. To themembers, not Queen Victoria, but aGerman princess," Is their rightful sov- jereign. The club does nothing moredangerous that to paes futile resolu-'tlona, which are reported In the news-!papers as practical Jokes. A new nsso-1elation has just sprung up, which ealla !Itself the Society of the Red Carnation,'nnd seeks to cut Into this Jacobite buskness. The council of the Thames Val-ley Legitimist Club has gravely resolv-ed that the new society Is "unneces-sary," and that the advanced programIs bound to create "divisions and dis-gust among all true Legitimists andJacobites" and to bring the cause Intoderision. The speedy dissolution of theintruder is advised by the council of th«original patentees.

Irrigation In Africa.When the river Nile is high enough,

at the time of Its annual overflow, damain its banks are cut, allowing the waterto flow in canals which carry it intothe country. Prom these canals ditchesand gutters distribute It among thefarms, which are divided Into squaresby ridges of earth a few Inches high.The peasant regulates the flow otwater with his feet. By a skilful useof his toes he makes an opening in aridge or closes It up, and thus causesthe water to go where It is needed.

This was a very ancient way of Irri-gating the land, and Moses probably re-fers to it when he oontrasts the rainsand dews of Palestine with the arti-ficial watering of Egypt. "For the landwhere thou goest In, to possess it is notas the land of Egypt from which yecame out, where thou sowodst thy seedand watorodBt it with thy foot, as agarden of herbs; but the land whitherye go to possess it Is a land of hills andvalleys, aud drluketh water of the rainof heaven."

A TIGER HUNT

tn Costa Klcn, Witli Plenty of Sport,But Little Game.

Big preparations were being madefor our Christinas dinner of roast pigwith apple sauce, venison chops andother dishes, and It was impossible toescape the odors from, time to time.wafted In fragrant breezes from theoutside kitchen. All the doors andwindows were, of course, wide open,because In Costa Rica we do not knowwhat winter Is. and there is hardly anychange in climate the year round. AsI was sitting at my desk thinking ofnil the good things for dinner, one ofmy men came hurrying in with gunover shoulder and dog at heel, to tellme he had that very morning, and nota half hour before, seen a tiger passthrough the bottom of the farm andenter the bush about a mile from thehouse. He had seen the tiger carryinga young one in its mouth. Would Iget my dogs and gun and hunt her?Well, yesi I would, and,pretty quickly,too.

, My neighbor, Mr. S., was easily In-duced to join the party, also a friendof his, who was staying with him. SoIn all we were a party of four, Includ-ing the man who hud soen the tiger.Mr. S. had a repeating shotgun, hisGerman friend a rifle which would notgo off, our guide a double-barreled shot-gun, and myself a .44 riiie. It took usabout three-quarters of an hour toreach the edge of the forest, wherethe tiger had been seen. Here the dogsbecame very excitable, taking thefresh trail with spirit. No one whohas not hunted In a tropical forest canrealize how hard It Is to make one'sway through the bush; it is a matterof patience and machete work. OurGerman friend concluded to' sit him-self down on a log nnd await develop-ments, while the rest of us followedafter the dogs. We supposed the oldtiger would not travel far, and thisproved to be a good guess. What withthe barking of the dogs and the noisewe made cutting the way with ourmachetes, the old tiger must have beenbadly frightened.

At about this time we heard our Qer-• man friend, whom we had left on thelog, calling us at a great rate, dud, aawe made a circle back, could hear htmcalling, "I hoar the tiger!" and therehe sat on the same log, with his oldrifle that would not go off cocked, andlooking pretty expectant. We nil lis-tened, and, sure enough, we could heara crying and spitting about 75 yardsoff in the bush. We followed up thesound till wo came to a tmarl of an oldtree trunk and vines. We cut awaythe vines as best we could wi th ourmachetes, and there, squeezed up asclose UH he could get to a big live wasa young tiger, scratching anil spittingaway at a great rate, and doing It well,too! I crawled In nnd grabbed'him liytho back of the nook.

There were no signs of the old tlj;or;she niunt have beon too scared to xtnyanil see what wan going <>n. Our '.Jor-man was very mad when told that his

* gun \voifld not shoot, and, In fact, Ithrow the gun down on tho pronii'l innd said that ho would be Mowed Ifhi; would carry It homo; and HO a peonwus Rent out for It. I took the l l t t lollgi-r homo wi th mo und kept l i lm s'om«time, but Iho facts are t h a t t he eooltoverfed him, ami he died from tins of.fectn.

We all ftiijoyod our Christ mas din-ner that day, Including Iho. l i t t l l e tiger,who had MM Hlmre.

Wonderful Piece of Pantomime andImitation.

Among the1 men who now leaped offthe railway trucks and hurried off totheir breakfasts wos^, one black ex-dervish worthy of mention, says theLondon Times. This was Somld, theSoudanese Jester of the camp, who canalways raise a roar of laughter in theworking gangs, aud is of distinct serv-ice, keeping up the men's spirits, as hedoes, by clever mimicry and queertricks.. A bugler In Hlclts Pasha's ill-fated army, he was captured by thedervishes and taken to the Mahdl'scamp at Omdurman. There he discov-ered that he could make his life easierby playing the buffoon, and he becamethe Jcstor of Wad el Blshara, the fa-mous emir who commanded the dervishforces that were opposed to us lastyear. He used to be called up to amusehis master's friends by giving imita-tions of the British officers with whombe had been brought into contact.

Recaptured' by us last year at theKittle of Haflr, he now, when not em-ployed lu rail-laying, keeps the campn a roar by bis close imitations of bin'ornier master Blshara and other derv-sh notables. Seeing strangers In camp,le approached us with a comical wad-lo, and then proceeded, surrounded>y a crowd of his appreciative country-men, to favor ua with what was cer-Ainly a very extraordinary entertain-

ment. First he impersonated the greatSmlr Tunes; sword over shoulder, he

swaggered up and down as through alervlsh camp, boasting of nls prowess

and declaring that he would destroyhe enemies of God and drive the Eng-ish into the sea. Then he suddenly be-•ame Ward el Blshara, the true soldier,with graver mien than before; speakingcalmly and deliberately, he walkedwith slow dignity a leader of men, glv-ng orders to his officers in preciseerms. The different characters of thewo emirs were BO clearly brought out>y this close observer and marvelousmimic that one felt one would almost>e able to recognize the two mettwlth

certainty if ever one met them. l£romhe gi'iye he passed to the ludicrous; heook oa the mannerisms of a native

clerk on the railway works, of an im-nitient bimbashl carrying on a conver-sation through the telephone with anndlstlnct but imperturbable Egyptian

at the other end of tho wire. Next, witha most ghastly realism, ho gave UH arepresentation of a hanging man. ItWUH true to life nnd to death, for SomldmtiHt have witnessed many an execu-lon by hanging In tho dervish camp.Then ho became Wad el nialmra

again at tbo battle of Ilnlir, encouras-ng bis men aud laughing scornfully at

the Hhells which burst around him, thesound of which Somld faithfully repro-lucod. A variety of other tricks were>erl'ormc,d by thin vcrxatllc black. Latern tho day we cumo. ucroHs him again,

at worli on the railway. HO had juntaid down n rail, and, seeing us, pro-

ceeded to Imitate tho action of onoikotchlnpt a portrait. In it'moment werecognized every turn of the head amiland, the pose, oven tho expression ofTiiee of ono of tho war nrtlstB with UH;t won a wonderful pl«wo of pantomlmo

and mimicry.

A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE.Heat, sense of tenderness and swelling1 of a part,

are all indications that there is need of instant repair—the stitch in time. Where these symptoms exist onthe left or the right side of the womb, disease of theovary is setting in, and soon there will be, if thereis not already established, a discharge, trifling' atfirst, but later copious and irritating-. Sgfon, also,there will be felt dull, dragging pains radiating fromthe ovary.

Do not, my sister, let your malady go so far, butthose of you who are already suffering in thisway should begin at once a course of treatmentwith Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.It will restore the organs to their normal con-dition.

In this connection MRS. E. L. MYEUH, Quak-/ake, Puv., says: "My ovaries were badly dis-eased, and for almost a year I suffered with se-vere burning pains which were almost unendurable, nnd a dull, heavy pain intho lower portion of my back. If standing-1 was most relieved with my footresting on a stool or chair. Tho doctor told mo I would have to take mybed and keep quiet. I had not used half a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-table Compound before it worked wondei-s with me. I now owe my healthto the Compound. To those who are suffering from diseases peculiar to wo-men, I would say that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is just whatthey need."

Mrs. Tinkham wishes to rfefriend you, and if you will write her at Lynn,Mass., telling her just how you feel, she Vvill give you tho vory best advicefreo of charge. Think what a privilege it is to bo able to write to a womanwho Is learned in all these matters, and willing to adviso von without charge.

SATURDAY. NOV. 20, 1897.

Ex-Senator W. D. Edwards, of Hud-eon county, on Monc'ay made applicationto Judges of the Supreme Court tor arecount of the ballots cast for andagainst the new constitutional amend-ments, claiming that tho 961 rejectedballots should have been counted, andwould have given a majority againstthe amendments. As tho Governor hasissued bis proclamation incorporatingtbe amendments with the State Consti-tution, it will seem like a conflict of au-thority to re-open tbe question at Ibislate day. -Then, wbeu it is rememberedthat the bnllots were removed from thesealed boxes to make way for tbe No-vember election, it would seein impossi-ble to make u fair recount. Tbe Courthas uuanlmoUHly refused the application,and this will probably be tbe last movein that direction.

not until the early 'COa that much at- J' J v 'tentlon was given to the matter In thoUnited States. At about this time thescientific men of the country began toInvestigate the American streams, andthey were not long In discovering thatthey were being rapidly cleared out.They expressed grave fears that thocoast waters might also become deci-mated of their finny Inhabitants. Stepswere very soon taken by the differentStates to prevent such a catastrophe;In 1805 Massachusetts appointed thefirst flsh commission; In 1808 New Yorkappropriated $1,000 for the same pur-pose. Gradually the other States havofollowed suit until now almost everyone has Its flsh commission, nndIts flrflt appropriation Now York Impspent over $350,000 for this object. In1870 Prof. Balrd, then of the Smith-sonian Institution, llttc-d up n stationnt Woods' Holl, on the southern constof MnssachUKi't ts, at' bin own expense,and maintained It for two yenra, mak.Ing many valuable demonstrations ofwhat could be dona with a hutch""'-.

tone of Mr. Moody's voice as he says,'We will now close the meeting,' which,like a cry In a sleeper's ear, brings uaback to the realities.

"And at night the scene Is still morewondrous, for then men—old men,young men, earnest men—have takenpossession of the auditorium. At thosemeetings Mr. Moody Is at bis best.Eleven thousand men have been pack-ed In that old Hippodrome at one ofthese night gatherings In March andApril twenty-one years ago. The gaslights shine In their eager faces. Nopolitical convention ever presentedsuch a scene. Thousands arise andcry, 'I will! I will!" when asked to en-list; 'Amens!' sweep through the placelike the rattling of musketry, andsometimes the ecstasy of religion be-comes so manifest that long intervalsof silent prayer are necessary In orderto keep the sin-stricken within thobounds of needed self-roHtrnltit.

"Near the close of the ten weeks'work of tho Evangelists there assem-bled ono day ;iu audience of moro thanfour thousand pprsonH, eiioh of whomadmitted that he or she wns a fruit ofthose labors. At hist tho closing night(April 19, 187(1) came. The Hippodromewns thronged. What would Mr. Moodypay? Would bin voice be choked?Would ho cry? And this Is what hesaid: 'My frlcndfl, 1 will not «ay "good-by;" "good-night," I'll meet you all Intho morning.' "

Cod Among tlio Stars—Our Own World,•tlio Smallest of Them All, Was So-looted ns tlie 1'heatro For Sin and Sor-row ns an Awful ISxamplo to Others.

TEXT: "It Is Ho that bulldoth His storleeIn tho heavou,"—Amos, lx., C.

This la first-rate poetry from Amos, thoherdsman. While guarding his Hooks at;night, ho got watching tho heavens. HQsaw stars above stars, and tho universe;seemed to him like a groat mansion manystories high, silver room above silver room,silver pillars besides sliver pillars, and win-,dows. of silver and doors of silver, nnd tur-rotg and domes of silver 'rising Into

-tho Immensities, and the prophet's sancti-fied Imagination walks through that greatsilver palace of the universe, through thaflrst story, through tho sooond' story,through tho third story, through tho twen-tieth story, through tho hundredth story,through tho thousandth story, and realiz-ing that God Is tho architect and carpenterand mnson of oil that upheaved splendor,ho cries out In tho words of the text, "Itis Ho, that buildeth His, stories "in thoheaven."

The fact fs that wo have all spent toomuch time o'n ono story of tho groat man-sion of God's universe. Wo need oocnsio'n-lilly 'to go upstairs or downstairs In thismansion; downstairs, nnd In tho collarstudy the rocks, or upstairs and see God insome of tho higher stories, and learn themeaning, of tho text whon It says: "It isHo that bulldeth HIsstorlosintho heaven."

"Astronomy wns born in Chalden. Itsmother was Astrology, or the solonce orforetelling events by juxtaposition of stars!Tho Orientals,' living much out of doorsnnd in a very clear atmosphere, throughwhich the stars sliono especially lustrous,got tho habit of studying 'thn nightEcavens. In tho hot seasons caravans!journeyed chiefly at night, nnd that gavetravelers much opportunity of stellar In-lormatlon. On tho llrst page of tho Bibletho sun and moon and stars roll In. Thosun, a body nearly three million miles incircumference and moro than twelve thou-sand times ns large as our earth; the moon,more than two thousand miles In dtamoter.;

But God Is used to doing things on such anomnipotent scale that ho takes only onqverse to tell of this solnr and lunar manu-facture. Yea, In three words all tho otherworlds nro thrown In. Tho record says,

.. "The stars also." It takes wholo pages fora man to oxtol tho making of a telescope ormicroscope or a mngnetlc'tolegraph or athreshing machine, or to describe a finepainting or statue, but it was so easy forGod to hang tho celestial upholstery thattho story Is compassed in one verso: 'Godmade two groat lights, tho greater light torulo tho day and the lesser light to rule thonight. Tho stars alsol' Astronomers havebeen trying to call the roll of thorn eversince, and they havo counted multitudes ofthem passing In review beforo tho obsurva-torles built at vast expense, and tho Bi/.oand numbor of thoso heavenly bodies havetaxed to tho utmost tho scientists of alltigcs.

But God finishes all Ho has to any about,thorn In threo words, "Tho stars also!"That is Marx, wtt'h Its moro than l l f ty- t lvomill ion Hi|imro miles, and Venus, with lt»morn than ono hundred aiid iiltioty-onomil l ion, ' square nilh'fl, and Haturn, wi th Itsmoro than nlnettion bi l l ion square miles,and Jupltor, with Us moro1 than tvvonty-

tho majority of Christian people listen notto tho voices of other worlds, although theBook says, "Tho heavens declare tho gloryof God," and, again, "The works of theLord, are great and to bo sought out." Howmuch have you sought them out? Youhavo been satisfying yourself wlth-somqthings about Christ, but have you noticedthat Paul calls you to consider Christ asthe Creator of other worlds, 'by whom alsoHo made tho worlds." It Is timp youChristians start on'a world hunt. That lathe chief reason why God makes tho night,that you may see other worlds. Go outto-night and look up at the great olookof the heavens. ,LIston to the sllvorjchime of tho midnight sky. See that youjchildren and grandchildren mount thaheavens with telescojje for alpenstock,

leaping rrom acclivity of light to acclivityof light. What a thoughtful and subllmathing that John Qulnoy Adams, thn er.President, borne down with yoars, under*took at the peril of his lifo the journeyfrom Washington to Cincinnati that hemight lay the corner-stone of tho pier oftho great refracting telescope, and theremaking his last oration. What a servicefor all mankind when, In 1839, Lord Eossolifted on tho lawn of his castle eightymiles from Dublin a telescopo that revealedworlds as fast as they could roll in andthat started an enthusiasm which thismoment concentrates the eyes of many ofthe.most devout In all parts of tho earth oncelestial discovery.

last;And reach the earth tho tenth; whence

strongly hurled,Tho same the passage to th' Infernal world.

I thank God that wo have found out thatpur world Is not half way between heavenand hell, but is in a sisterhood of light, andthat this sisterhood joins all the other sis-terhoods of worlds, moving round semegreat homestead, which Is no doubt heaven,where God is, and our departed Christianfriends are, and wo ourselves through par-doning mercy expeot to become permanentresidents. 0, what a God we have, and HeIs our Father.

Furthermore, I got now from all this an.answer to the question which every Intelli-gent man and womnn since the earth hasstood has asked and received no answer.Why did God lot slu and sorrow come intotho world when He could havo preventedthem from coming? I wish reverently toBay I think I have'found tho reason.To keep the universe loyal to a 'HolyGod, it was Important In some worldsomewhere to demonstrate tho gigan-tic disasters that would come upon anyworld that allowed sin to enter.Which world should it bo? Well, thobmnller the world the bettor, for lessnumbers would suffer. So our world wasselected. Tho stago was plenty largoenough for tho enactment of tho tragedy.Enter on tho stago Sin, followed by Mur-der, Pain, Theft, Fraud, Impurity, Falae-

, hood, Massacre, War and all tho ahomiua-! tlons and horrors and agonies of.centuries.Although wo know comparatively littleabout tho other worlds, lest wo become

j completely dlssutlsllod with our own, no,doubt tho other worlds have heard and arenow hearing all about this world in theawful experiment of slu \yhlch tho human

I race has been making.It is no longer to me a mystery why so

Binall a world as ours was chosen for thetragedy. A chemist nan demonstrate alltho laws of earth and heaven In1 a, smalllaboratory, ten font by Hvo, and our worldwas not too small to demonstrate to thouniverse tho a w f u l ohomlstry of unright-eousness, Its explosive and. riving and eon-

! Burning power. On "tho tower of Pharos,: Kgypt, a metallic mirror was raised which\ rblleeted all that occurred both on land

'Unru ly thismm disastrous oxi'ni'iiiiont of a world un-loosing itself f rom God will bo enough fornil worlds ami all eternities.

Uses" of Ice "Water.In health no one ought to ftnnt leo

water, for It has occasioned fatal In-flammation of the stomach and bowels,and sometimes sudden death. Thetemptation to drink It la very great Inthe summer. To use It at all with safe-ty tho person should take but a singleswallow at the time, take the glassfrom the lips for half a minute, andthen another swallow, and so on. Itwlii be found that In this way It be-comes disagreeable after a few mouth-fuls.

On the other hand, lee Itself may betaken as freely as possible, not onlywithout Injury, but with the most strik-ing advantage In dangerous forms ofdisease. If broken In sizes of a pea orbean and swallowed as freely as prac-ticable, without much chewing orcrunching between the teeth, It 'willoften be efficient In checking variouskinds of diarrhea, and has cured vio-lent cases of Asiatic cholera. A kind ofcushion of powdered ice kept to theentire scalp has allayed violent Inflam-mation of the brain, and arrested fear-ful convulsions Induced by too muchblood there. In croup, water as cold aslee can make It, applied to the throat,neck and chest with a sponge or cloth(very often affords an almost miraculousrelief, and If this be followed by drink-ing qoplously of the same Ice-cold cle-ment, the wetted parts wiped dry, andthe child wrapped up well In the bedclothes, It falls Into a delightful njidlife-giving slumber.—New York Ledger.

AN ARTIST'S DISCOVERY.

How Nature Hna AVlsoIy Colored tJioUlrds.

An eicewllngly Interesting naturallaw has been discovered by the distin-guished artist, Mr. Abbott H. Thayop,;who la an ardent observer of bird life,He, with his artist's eye for light andshade, discovered what the naturalists,notwithstanding their acquaintancewith many varieties of imitative andprotective coloration In animals, hadas yet failed to elucidate the reasonwhy the under parts of fishes, reptiles,mammals, birds, itnd even insects aroBO generally white or light. It Is a lawwhich can be very simply stated thus!"Animals are painted by nature dark-est on those parts which tend to bomost lighted by the sky's light, and viceversa."

Of course, out-of-doors the light corneacommonly from above, and thus the ''majority of wild creatures are darkeron their backs and lighter below, wherothe shadpw of the4r own bodies uponthe lighter color tends to equallze~lt <with that of the upper parts. Thus, adead bird with wood-colored back,lighter shades on wing and sides anda white breast may look, when held latho hand, as if the conspicuous, silverybrilliance of the breast feathers wouldeasily betray It to the eye of a search-Ing enemy. Not at all. It would bemuch more easily discovered if It weradull brown all over. This Mr. Thayw?proved at an open-air meeting of orni-thologists In Cambridge last Novemberby a series of cleverly devised experi-ments.

He placed three objects of about thoalae and. shape of sweet potatoes—lafact, they were sweet potatoes—hori-zontally on wires a few Inches abovothe ground. They were covered with asticky material, and then dry earthfrom the road where they stood wassprinkled over them to give them th»very cqlor of their background. Dr. 0Hart Merriam, In a report of this talkto Science, says:

"The two end ones were paintedwhite on the under side, and the whitecolor was shaded up and gradually mix-ed with the brown of the sides.

"When viewed from a little distance,these' two end ones, which were whitebelow, disappeared frpm sight, whll»the middle one stood out In strong re-lief, nnd appeared muchjJarker than Itreally was. Mr. Thnyer explained thatterrestrial birds and mammals, whichare protectively colored, have the underparts white, or very.light in color, andthat the cplor^f the under parts usual-ly shades gradually Into that of th«upper parts.

"This Ifi essential in order to counter-act the effect of the shadow side, whichotherwise, ns shown by the middlepotato, makes the object abaormallyconspicuous, and causes It to appearmuch darker than It really Is.

"In the ca.se of Mr. Thayer's expertmcnt, Borne of the witnesses could hard-ly believe that the striking differenceIn the visibility of the three potatoeswas entirely due to the coloring of thenndnr side, and Mr. Thayor was askedto color the middle one llku the twoothers, In order that the effect might boobserved. Sir. Thayor compiled withthe request, painting the under side ofthe mliville potato white, and shadingIho white tip Into the sides, aa In th«caso of the others.

"The effect wan almost magical. Thomiddle potato at once disappeared frwnview. -^—"——.-—7, "A HlmJJif fpxpor lmont W/H mnde. onthe lawn.

Goods good,Prices right,Treatment fair.

These mottoes, good enough for anystore, exactly suit oars. We endeavorconstantly to servo oar customers byselling the best articles at the lowestprices, and by dealing oat fair treatmentto all.

ID hard times, the real benefactor isnot he that eoattors goods with lavishhand to the needy, siace he thus, byunwise giving, injures himself and pau-perizes the recipients of bin gifts. Neith-er is it he that gives a man credit with-out proper security: such a personwrongs both himself and family, andcauses the debtor to become caroleaa andextravagant. But the real benefactor ishe that sells good goods cheap, and forcash, never forgetting that every manhas the right to be treated as a man, forbe thus acts in a manner befitting hisown dignity, and leads the masses to be-come careful, thrifty and innuatiions. .

DEAII MB. EDITOR :The Journal mao says I am a prohi-

bitionist. Wrong; guess again. But"If meat maketh my brother to offend,

will eat no meat while the worldelands." (Paul.) If everyone wouldfollow this, and make it a part of hisife, what a lot. of misery might be pre-

vented. Just read it over Hill youunderstand it fully. We are our broth-ers1 keepers, and will be held resposiblefor their downfall if we could have re-moved the cause. It is the most selfishman who will think only of himself andnot of a weaker brother. I never drankany liquor stronger thau cider; and Inever will, if for no other reason than aear that some one with less will powerthau I might be influenced by my indul-gence, and not be able to control hisappetite for strong drink.

I have DO personal Interest for oragainst the proposed wine factory, ex-cept that it will result in the downfallof those for whom the stuff is made.My family are all safe,—they are asmuch opposed to it as L

We read that Christ turned waterinto wine, and it was at once dealt outto the guests. That was not fermentedwine. There is no more harm in drink-ing the juice as it comes from the pressthan in eating the fruit, except that ittends to form a' habit. But what ha-bitual drinker Is particular as to the ageot his beverage,— only so it has a goodpedigree, dated back a few years.

Paul did advise Timothy to "use alittle wine for thy stomach's sake andthine oft Infirmities." He might withequal propriety have prescribed quinine;but I doubt that my Journal' friendwould recommend quinine as a beverace.

Some of the leaders in this winemovement are respected men; but forthe life of me I cannot see how they canturn their backs on plain truth for thesake of their pocket-books, claimingthat there will bo money for our peopleanil the town treasury.

"Woe unto him that givoth bis neighbor drink, that puttest thy bottle tohim and mnkuat him drunken * * andslablleheth a city by iniquity."
