OR.TALMAGE’S SERMON
The Eminent Divine's Sunday
Discourse.
8object: “Across the Continent’’—.Spiritual
Thoughts Suggested While Viewing
Beenes of Majesty and Grandeur
Wrought b^the Hand of God.
" Texts: “Streams in the desert."—Isaiah
*xxy M 6. “He toucheth the hills and they
■moke."--Psalms civ., 32.
My first text means irrigation. It means
the waters of the Himalaya, or the Pyre
nees, or the Sierra Nevadas poured through
canals and aqueduct* for the fertilization
oi Li v Vftll0 y 8 - H means the process by
• *J” C “ th® last mile of American barrenness
will bo made au apple orchard, or an orange
? ;rove, ora wheat field, or a cotton nlantu-
Ion, or a vineyard—“stroams Ip the desert."
My second text moans a volcano like Vesu-
or Cotopaxi, or It moans the geysers
of Yellowstone Park or of California. You
seo a hill calm and still, und for ages im
movable, but the Lord out of the heavens
ptlts His finger on th»top of it, and from it
rise thick and lfnpressive vapors: “He
toucheth the hills aud they smoke!"
Although my journey across the conti
nent this summer was for the olghth time
more nfid moro am I Impressed >llth the
dlvlno hand in Its construction, and with
Its greatness and grandeur, aud more and
moro am I thrilled with the fact that It Is
all to be Irrigated, glorified and Edenlzed.
What a change from the time when Daniol
Wobster on yonder Captolino Hill said to
the American Senate In rogard to the centre
■of flits confluent, and to tho regions on the
Paolrtc Const: "What do you want with
this vast, worthless 'aroa, this region or
savages and wild hdasts, of doserts and
oaotus, of shifting snptls and prairie dogs?
To what ns. conld we aver piit theee great
doSerts or these gront mountains, Impene
trable and covered with eternal enow?
What can wo ever hope to do with the
Western coast, rook-hound, oheerless and
uninviting, and not a harbor on it? I will
never vote ono cent from the ptihllo treasury
' to plaeo the Paclflo coast ono Inoh nearer
Boston than it now Is." What n mistake
tho groat statesman rando when he said
that! All who have crossed tho continent
realise that the States on the Paollle Ocean
will have quite os grand opportunities as
the tltatos on the Atlantlo, and all this
realm from soa to sea to be ths Lord’s cul
tivated poesesslon.
Do you know what, In some respeots, Is
the most remarkable thing between the
Atloutlo and Pnoillo? It Is tho flguro of
a cross on a mountain In Colorado. It Is
called tho “Mount of tho Holy Cross."
A horizontal orevloo filled with perpetual
show, and a- perpendicular crevice (Hied
with snow, but both the horizontal line
and thor perpendloular line so marked, so
bold, so slgDincent, so unmistakable, that
all who pass In tho daytime within many
miles are compelled to see It. There ore
some figures, some oontoure, Homo moun
tain pnpearnnocs that you gradually make
out after your attention Is callod to them.
Bon man's fuoo on the rooks In the Whlto
Mountains. So a maiden’s form cut In
th. granite of tho Adlrondaolcs. So a city
In the moving elouds. Yet you have to
look under the pointing of your friend or
guide fqr sojno tlmo bolero you can see
fee similarity, . Bat the first Instant you
fflnuco nt this sldo of tho mountain in
Colorndo, you ory Out: "Acrossl A
oross!" Do you say that thlsgecdogtoal In
scription lust happens so? Nol That cross
on tlio Colorndo mountain Is not a human
device, or an accident of nature, or the
-freak of an earthquake. The hand of Ood
out 'Jt there and set It up for the-nation
to look at. Wlmthor set up In rook be
fore the crose of wood wae ret up on the
bluff hack of .Jerusalem, or set up at some
time since that assassination, I believe
the Creator meant It to suggest the most
notable event in all tho history of this
planet, and; Ho hung It thero over the
. mart .of ruts continent' to Indicate that
the only bopo for this nation Is in the
Cross ou which our Immanuol died. The
Olouds were vocal at our Saviour’s birth,
the rooks rent ut His martyrdom, why not
the walls of Colorado hear tho record of
thn Cruclflalon?
> {.‘supposed In my boyhood, from Its slzo
on- tho map, that California was a few
yards across, a rldgo of land on whloh
ono must walk cautiously lest he hit Ills
head against tho Sierra Novada on ono sldo,
orsllpoff Into the Pnoillo waters on the
other—California, tho thin slice of land, ns
. I supposed It,to.be In my boyhood, I have
.pfOUAP'tp tjeelargcir than all tho States of
■New England and all Now York Stato and
all Pennsylvania added together; and If
you add them together thelrjiquare miles
fall fpr short of California. And thon all
those new-born States of the Union, North
and South Dakota, Washington, Montana,
Idalio.nml Wyoming. . Eucli Stntu an otn-

“But,” flays oil©, “in calculating the im
mensity of our continental-acreage you
must remember that vu»t roaches of our
jiublio domain are uhoultlvated heaps of
<lry sand, and the *Ba«l Lands’ of Montana
nn,tl tho, G^eat American Desort." I am
''MUfryaujmentioned'that. Within twenty-
five years thero will not be between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts a hundred miles
bind not reclaimed either by farmers’
>ugh or minors' crowbar. By Irrigation,
Ip waters of the rivers und the showers of
riven, In what are called the raiuy sea
pjn.-wHl be gathered into, great reservoirs,
nd through aqueducts lot down where and
rhen tho people want them. Utah is an
•bjoct lesson. Some purts of that Terri
tory wmeu were so barren that a spear of
grass could not have been raised there In a
•hunafetl years, are now rich as Lancaster
County farms, of Pouiiflylvanlu, or West
chester farms of New York, or Somerset
County farms of New Jersey. Experiments
have-proved that ton acres of ground Jrrl-
f ;ated from waters gathered in great hydro-
oglcal basins will produce as muon as fifty
acres from the downpour of ruin ns seen In
our regions. Wo hnvo our freshets and our
droughts, but in those lands which nre to
be scientifically irrigated there will be
peitbpr frP»bet8,nor^8pughta. As you take
a pitcher and get It full of water, and then
sot it on a table and take a drink out of it
when you uro thirsty and never think of
drinking a Bltcherful all at once, so Mon
tana, and Wyoiplng and Idaho will oatch
thi rains of thoir rainy season and take up
all the waters of their rivers In great
f iito hers of reservoirs, and refresh their
und whenever they will.
But the most wonderful part of this Amer
ican continent is the Yellowstone Park. My
two visit there mado upon me an impres
sion that will last forever. Go In by the
Monetda route as we did this summer and
save 250 miles of railroading, your stage
coach taking you'through a dny of scenery
as captivating and sublime as the Yellow
stone Park itself. After all poetry has ex
hausted Itself concerning Yellowstone Park,
and all the Moruns and Biorstadts and the
other enchanting artists have eorapletod
their canvas, there will be other relations
to make, and other stories of Its beauty and
wruth, splendor and agony, to be recited.
The Yellowstone Park Is tho geologist’s
paradise. By cheapening of travel may It
become the nation’s playground! In some
portions ot i: there seems to be the anarchy
of the elements. Fire and water, and the
vapor born of that marriage, terrific. Gey
ser cones or bills of crystul that have been
over five' thousand years growingl In
f daces the earth, throbbing, sobbing,groan-
ng, quaking with aquoous paroxysm. At
the expiration of every sixty-five minutes
one of the geysers tossing its boiling water
135 feet in thn air and then descending into
awiugiug rainbows. “He toucheth the
bills and they smoke." Caverns of pictured
walls lurge enougti for the sepulchre of
the human tace. Formations of stone In
shape nnd color of calla Illy, ot heliotrope,
of ro9«, of cowslip, of sunflower and of
gladiolus. Sulphur and arsenic and oxide
of iron, with their delicate pencils, turning
the bills into a Luxemburg, or n Vatican
picture-gallery. The so-oalled Thanatopslt
Geyser, exquisite as the Bryant poem it was
named after, and Evangeline Geyser, love
ly ns the Longfellow heroine It commemo
rates.
But alter you bnve wandered along the
geyserite enchantment for days, and begin
to feel that there can be nothing more of
interest to seo, you suddenly come upon
the peroration of all majesty and grandeur,
the Grand Canon. It Is here that it seems
to me—and I speak It with reverence—Je
hovah seems to have surpassed Himself. It
soems a groat gulch let down Into the
etornltles. Masonry by an omnipotent
trowel. Yellow! You newer saw yellow
unless you saw It thore. Red! You nover
saw red unless you saw It there. Violet!
You never saw violet unless you saw It
there. Triumphant banners of color. In a
cathedral of basalt, Runriso and Sunset
married by tho setting of rainbow ring.
Gothic archos, Corinthian capitals, and
Egyptian basilicas built beforo human
architecture was born. Huge fortlfloatious
of granite constructed beforo war forged
Its first cannon. Gibraltars and Nebasto-
pols that nevor can bo taken. Thrones on
whloh no one but tho King of henvon and
earth ever sat. Fount of waters at which
the hills are baptized, while tho giant cliffs
stand around as sponsors. For thousands
of years before that soene was unveiled to
human sight, the elements were busy, and
tho geysers wore.hewing away with their
hot chisel, and glaolers woro pounding with
their cold hammers, and hurricanes were
cleaving with their lightning strokes, and
hailstones giving the finishing touches, aud
after ail these forcos of nature had done
thoir best, in our century the ourtaiu
dropped, and the world had a new and di
vinely insplrod reveUtlon, the Old Testa
ment written on papyrus, the New Testa
ment written on parohment, and this la*t
Testament wrltton on the rooks.
Btaudlng there in tho Grand Canon of
tho Yellowstone Park for tho mod part we
hold our peace, but after awhile It Unshod
upon me with suoh power I could not hoip
but say to my comrades: “What a hall tills
would be for the last Judgment!" Hoe that
mighty cascade with tho rainbows at tho
foot of It? Those wators congealed aud
transfixed with the agltutlons ot that day,
what a place they would make for the shin
ing feet of a Judgo of quick nnd dendl
Aud those rainbows look now like the
crowns to be cast at Ills feet. At tho bot
tom of this great aunou Is a floor ou whloh
the nations of the earth might stand, and
all up and down these galleries of rook the
nations of henvon might sit. And what
reverberation of arohangeU’trumpet there
would be through all those gorgos aud
from these caverns nnd over all these
heights. Why should net the greatest bf
ull the days tho world shall ever seo close
amid tho grandest scenery Omnipotence
ever built?
I have said those things about the mag
nitude of the continent, and given you a
fow specimens of some of Its wonders, to
lot vou know»the comprehensiveness of
Christ’s dominion when He takes posses
sion of this contiuent. Besides that, the
salvation of this ooutlnent means the sal
vation of Asia, fpr we are only thirty-six
miles from Asia at the northwest. Only
Behring Strait separates us from Asia, and
those will be spanned by a great bridge.
Tho thirty-six miles of water between these
two continents are not all deep sea, but
have three islands, and there are also
shoals which will allow piers of brldgos,
and for the most of tho way the wator Is
only about twenty fathoms doop.
The Amorioo-Aslatlo bridge which will
yet spun those straits will make America,
Asia, Europe and Africa one continent.
Bo. you see, America ovangqllzed, Asia
will bo evangelized. Europo taking Asia
from one sldo and Amorloa taking it from
the other side. Your children will cross
that bridge. America and Asia nnd Eu
rope all one, what subtraction from tho
pangs of seasicknessl and the prophecies
In Revelation will bo fulfilled, “thero shall
be no more sea." But do I mean literally
that this American continent Is going to
be all gospellzed? I do. Cbrlstonher Co
lumbus, whou ho wont ashore from the
Hunta Marla, nnd his second brother
Alonzo, when he went ashore from tho
I’lnta, and his third brother Vincent, when
he wont ashore from thu Nina, took pos
session of this country in the name of the
Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost.
Satan has no more right to this country
than I have to your pocket-book. To hoar
him talk on the roof of the temple, whore
he propos9d to give Christ the kingdoms
of this world and thn glory of them, you
might suppose that Hutnn was a great cap
italist or that ho was loaded up with real
estate, when the old miscreant never
owned An ucre or nu inch of ground on
this planet. For that renson I protest
ugainst something I heard and saw, this
summer and other summers In Montana
and Oregon And Wyoming and Idaho uuil
Colorado and California. They have given
devtUstlc names to many plaoes In tho
West und Northwost.
As soon as you get In Yellowstono Park
or California you have pointed out to you
places cursed with such names as “Tho
Devil’s Slide," “The Devil’s Kitchen,”
“The Devil’s Thumb,” “The Devil’s Pul-
S lt ,*’ “The Devil’s Mush-Pot," “The
evil’s Tea-Kettle," “The Devil’s Haw-
Mlll," “The DovlI’s Machine-Shop," “The
Devil’s Gute," aud so on. Now It Is very
much needed tlmt geological survoyor or
Congressional Committee or group of dis
tinguished guests go through Montana
and Wyoming aud California aud Colorado
and give dlher names to theso places. All
these regions beloug to the Lord, mid to a
Christian nation; and nwny with suoh
Plutonic nomenclature! But howlsthlscon
tinent to be gospellzed? The pulpit and a
Christian printing-press harnessed to
gether will bo the mightiest team for tho
first plough. No> by the powor of cold,
formalistic theology; not by ecclesiastical
technicalities. 1 am sick of them, and tho
world Is sick of them. But It will be done
by tho warm-hearted, sympathetic presen
tation of the fuct that Christ is ready to
pardon all our sins, and heal all our
wounds, and save us both for this world
uud the next. Let yourreliglon of glaciers
crack off und fall Into tho Gulf Stream and
get melted. Take all your creeds of ull
denominations und drop out of them nil
human phraseology and put In only scrip
tural phraseology, nnd you will see how
quick tho people will jump after them.
On the Columbia lllver we suw the sal
mon jump clear out of the water In dilTer-
ont places, I suppose for tho purpose of
gutting the Insects. And if when wo want
to fish for men and we only have tho
right kind of bait, they will spring out
above the flood of their sins and sorrows
to reach If. The YouDg Men's Christian
Associations of Amorlca will also do part
of the work. They are going to take the
young men of this nation for God. These
Institutions seem In better favor with God
aud man than ever before. Business muft
and capitalists are awaking to the fact
that they can do nothing better in the way
of living beaeficence or in last will aud
testament than to do what Mr. Marquund
dki for Brooklyn when he made the Young
Mon’s Christian palaoe possible. Those
Institutions will get our young men all
over the laud into a stampede for
heaven. Thus we will all In some way
help on the work, you with your ton
talents, I with five, somebody else with
three. It is estimated that to irrigate the
arid and desert lands of America as they
ought to be irrlgatod. It will cost about
one hundred million dollars to gather the
waters Into reservoirs. As much contri
bution and effort as that would irrigute
with Gospel Influences all the waste pluces
of this continent. Let us by prayer nnd
contribution nnd right living all help to fill
the reservoirs. You will carry a bucket,
and you a cup. and even a thimbleful
would holp. And after a while God will
send the floods of mercy so gathered,
pouring down over all the land, and some
of us on earth and some of us in heaven
will slug with Isaiah, “In the wilderness
waters have broken out, and streams In
the desert,” and with David, “There Is a
river the streams whereof shall make glad
the sight of God.” Oh, fill up the reser
voirs! America for Godl

Tho sales of looking glasses in the
United States amount to about $8,000,-
000 a year, and the industry gives em-,
ployment to more than 3000 persona
(very few women or girls among thorn), 1
about one-half of, whom are iu the
State of New York. Mirror making is
a simple process, but thongh simple, \
is not without its eloment of dangor. I
The present method is as follows; A
tmooth stone tsble is arranged to bo
easily canted a little on one sido by
means of a screw set beneath. Around '
tho edges of tho table is a groove, in
which mercury may flow and drop
from ono corner into bowla. Tho table
is first made perfeotly horizontal, and
thou tinfoil is carefully laid over it,
covering a greater space than the glasH
to ho coated. A strip of glass is placed
nlong eaoh of three sides of the foil to
prevent the mercury from flowing off.
The metal is then poured from ladles
upon the foil till it is nearly a qffnrtor
of nu inoh deep. The plate of glass is
slid on from the opon sido, aud its ad
vancing edge is kept in the meronry,
so that no air or floating oxide of the
motal or other impurities can get be
tween the glass aud tho oleati surface
of the merenry. Whoh exactly iu
place it iB held till one edge of tho
tablo has been olevuted ten or twelve
degrees and the superfluous meronry
has run off. It ie loft for novel'll hours
and then plaoed npon a frame, the
aide oovered with the amalgam, whioh
adheres to it. After the amalgam be
comes hard the plate is ready for ubc.
Tho danger arising from mirror making
come ohiefly from theuso of thoquiok-
silver. About one-quarter of tho
quicksilver produced in tho world
comes from California.
It is a theory whioh has been gon-
orally accepted, bat the error of which
is obvious to every intelligent and dis
passionate observer, that men Are re
gardless of mirrors and that women
are thoir ohiof users. The faot is that
a Very considerable number of mirrors
uro bought for aud usod by men, and
to that faot is duo the extant of tho
business, probably, for it would ho
d.ifflonlt to believe that 20,000,000 girls 1
and women require (8,000,000 worth 1
of mirrors every year, mirrors being
seldom lost and never broken—inten
tionally. The cxoellonco of American
mirrors is generally aoknowledgod.

Some sailors on hoard of her ma
jesty's ship* at Rangoon obtained
leave of absence to go Into the lute-
liar and lost their way. A short time
afterwarS they wore brough back
by some Burmahs, who had fed them
and showed them the way home. The
Hurmans Immediately returned to
their village, and though the then chief
eoiumlssTonor, tho late Sir Charles Alt-
Chlson, endeavored to And them In or
der to rownnl them, 1 believe he never
succeeded. It caused a good deal of
comment In Rangoon at the, time. I
think It la Interesting, as showing the
effcot of the teaching of Buddha, and
how It saves the lturmau from that
"lust of gain” which, as you say, "has
taken so strong a hold of our civiliza
tion,” though I sometimes found It In

people are so utterly liullffereut to

An artillery officer at Fort Hancock
states that during the summer of 1804
General Grant telegraphed to the War
Department, "I will not move my
army without onions.” The next day
three tralaloada of onions were moved
to the front At the time dysentery
was raging in the army, and Grant
who believed that onions wero a sov
ereign specific for that disease and oth
er ills that soldiers In hot climates
are subject to, had been short of on
ions for a long time, and when ordered
to movo his army he declared that ho
would not send the men to the front
without a plentiful supply of onions.
The fame of General Grant an a light
er of grent hattles has overshadowed
his reputation ns one of the beat Gen
erals ever known for taking the best
of care of his men In camps nnd for
providing his commnnds with abun-
dnnt supplies of good food. It was
(uat so with Nnpoleou and Welling
ton; both were great captains nnd mili
tary geniuses, but they did not forget
to attend to the details of the com
missary dc|mrtnu4its, nnd Instructed
their commissary officers to provide
good food and plenty of It to men nink>
Ing campaigns. Both were strong ad
vocates for plenty of onions. The sol
diers afflicted with dysentery who
have gone to their homes would do 1
well to eat plenty' of onions.—New

To ths Moan by Rail.
It is a little startling to learn that
tho railways of tbe world havo a mile- \
age sufficient to make a railway from 1
tlio earth to the moon and yot leave a
residuum long enough to coil another ,
railway six times round tho earth at '
tho equator.
Of this enormous mileage Persia is !
content with a railway barely long
enough to oonneot Charing Cross and
Tunbridge WellB. It has but one
mile of railway for every 18,825 square
miles, an area nearly oqnal to that of
Holland, or for every 204,000 of its
people.
China, with its seventy-throe milea
of railway, is in some respects in
worse plight. For eaoh mile of rail
way it has a population equal to that
of Yorkshire, and an area nearly as
largo as Belgium.
Japan, with its 2237 miles of rail
way, is muoh moro onterprising. For
each' mile it has only to meet the
claims of 18,770 people,and an area of
seventy-one square mites. Although
it has, roughly, only one mile
for overy ten of the United Kingdom,
it oarried no fewer than 70,000,000
passongors a year.
Of the world’s total mileage the
United States claim nearly a half, or,
more accurately, 180,OuO miles, a
length, ronghly, equal to seven and
one-quarter times tho earth's oircurn-
f oreuoe at thn equator.
In proportion to population tho
United States havo for each mile of
railway in Russia twelve miles, in
Oermany or the United Kingdom flvo
miles, for eaoh milo iu Anstria six
and in France four.
Among Eumpoan nations Belgium
is most blessed with railway facilities
in proportion to nroa, and Spain halts
impotently in the rear of all the .other
nations.
During tho last flvo years RusBip
has shown most railway enterprise,
with an inoreasod mileage of twonty
percent,; Oermany follows with an
increase of seven per cent., France
six and the United Kingdom is 'con
tent with throe.
Africa has one milo of railway for
every 1210 square miles of territory,
and Australasia ono for every 821
square miles, an nrea approximately
that of the county of Huntingdon,-^

Archduke Josef* Skill a* a Itlder.
Archduke Josef of Austria-Huugary
has always been uotod as a horseman.
When he was a yonng man tnkin g
lessons in riding tho master of tho
school ono day brought in a peculiar
ly iutraotablo horse, whioh threw one
rider after another. Finally the duke
undertook to try him. He got on his
back and the horse mado frantio ef
forts to throw him, but tbe rider sat
firm. He took the horse three times
around the ring, when the animal
roared and seomed about to succeed
in his efforts, but by a suddeu jerk of
the reins the duke threw him, and he
nover rose again, for his backbone
was broken. “I was tHe only Hun
garian in the school,” the duke added
in telling tbe story, “and my nation’s
honor was saved!”—Syracuse Stand

completely discouraged when
s)ie first Wrote to Mrs. l’lnk-
hum. Here Is what she says:
"Dead Mus. 1’inkjiam;—I
wrote to you some time ago,
telling you of my Ills, hut
now I write to thank you
for tho good your remedies
have done me. I have used
two bottles of Lydia E.

pound, three packages of
Sanative Wash, nnd one box
of Liver Pills, and to-day I
call myself a well woman. I
suffered with backache, con
stant headache, whites, sick
stomach, no appetite, could not
sleep, and was very nervous. At
time of menstruation was in ter
rible pain. Your medicine is
worth its weight in gold. I never
can say enough in praise of it. I have
recommended it to many friends. If only
all suffering women would try it, thero would be
more happy homes and healthy women. 1 thank
you for the chango your medicine has made in me.
Lydia E. Plnkham’s Vegetable Compound and Mrs. Plnkham’s advice, have
saved thousands of women from hospital operations.
The lives of women are hard; whether at home with a ceaseless round of do
mestic duties or working at some regular employment, their daily tasks make
constant war on health. If all women understood themselves fully and knew
how exactly and soothingly Lydia E. Pinkhtun's Vegetable Compound act*
on the female organs, there would be less suffering.
