REV. DR. TALMAGE. THE BROOKLYN DIVINE’S SUNDAY SERMON. Text: Every wise woman buildeth her house— Proverbs, xiv., 1. Woman, a mere ad junct to man, an appen dix to the masculine volume, something tnrown in to make things even —that is the I heresy entertained and implied by some men. This is evident to them: Woman's insignifi cance, as compared to man, is evident to them, because Adam was first created and 1 then Eve. They don’t read the whole story or they would find that the porpoise and the bear and the ark were created before Adam, so that this argument drawn from priority of creation might prove that the sheep and the dog were greater than man. No! ’Voir.an was an independent creation, and vas in tended, if she chose, to dive alone, to walk t one, act alone, think alone and fight her battles alone. The Bible says it is not good for man to be alone, but never says it is not ?;ood for woman to be alone; and the simple act is that women who are harnessed tor life in the marriage relation would be a thousandfold better off if they were alone, (rod makes no mistake, and the fact that there is such a large majority of women in this land, proves that he intended that multi tudes of them should go alone. Who are these men who year after year • hang around hotels and engine houses and theatre doors and come in and out to bother busy clerks and merchants and mechanics, doing nothing even when there is plenty to , do? They are men supported by their wives and mothers. If the statistics of any of our cities could be taken on this subject you would find that a vast multitude of women not only support themselves but masculines. A great legion of men amount to nothing, and a woman by marriage manacled to one of these nonentities needs condolence. A woman stancing outside the marriage rela- ; tion is several hundred thousand times better off than a woman badly married. Many a bride instead of a wreath of orange blossoms might more properly wear a bunch of nettles and nightshade, and instead of thq Wedding March a more appropriate tune would be the Dead March in Saul, and instead of a ban quet of confectionery and ices there might be more appropriately spread a table covered with apples of Sodom, which are outside fair and inside ashes. Many an attractive woman of good sound sense in other things has married one of these men to reform him. What was the result? Like when a dove noticing that a vulture was rapacious and cruel set about to reform it and said: “ i have a mild disposition, and I like peace, and was brought up in the quiet of a dove cot, and 1 will bring the vultnre to the same liking by marrying him.” So one day after the vuituie had declared he would give up his carnivorous habits and cease longing for blood of flock and herd, at an altar of rock covered with moss and lichen.the twain were married, a bald headed eagle officiating, the vulture saying: “ With all my dominion of earth and sky I thee en- • daw, and promise to love and cherish tdi death do us part.” But one day the dove, in hfer flight, saw the vulture busy at a carcass and cried: “Stop that! did you not promise me that you would quit your carnivorous and filthy habits if I married you?” “Yes,” su'd the vulture, “but if you don’t like my way yr-,i can leave,” and with one angry stroke of beak and another tierce clutch of claw the vulture left the dove eyeless and wingless and lifeless. And a flock of robins flying past cried to each other and said: “See there! that conies from a dove’s marrying a vulture to reform him.” Many a woman who has had the hand of a young inebriate offered, but declined it, or who was asked to chain her life to a man selfish or of bad temper, and refused the shackles, will bless Goa throughout all eternity that she escaped that earthly pande monium. Besides all this, in our country about 1,000,001) men were sacrificed in our civil war, and that decreed a million women to celibacy. Besides that, since the war, several armies of men as large as the Federal and Confederate armies put together have fallen under malt liquors and distilled spirits so full of poisoned ingredients that the work was done more rapidly, and the victims fell while yet young. And if 50,0:10 men are destroyed every year by strong drink before marriage, that makes in the twenty-three years since the war 1,150,000 men slain, and decrees 1,150,000 women to celibacy. Taking then the fact that so many women are unhappy in their marriage, and the fact that the slaughter of 2,150,000 men by war and rum combined decides that at least that number of women shall be unaffianced for life, my text comes in with a cheer and a potency and appropriateness that I never saw in it before when it says: “Every wise woman buildeth her house,” that is, let woman be her own architect, lay out her own plan, be her own supervisor, achieve her own destiny. In addressing these women who will have to tight the battle of life alone, I congratulate you on your happy escape. Rejoice forever that you will not have to navigate the faults ■of the other sex, when you have faults enough of your own. Think of the bereave ments you avoid, of the risk of unassimilated temper which you will not have t * run, of the cares you will never have to carry, t. id of the opportunity of outside usefulness from which marital life would have partially de barred you, and that you are free to go and come as one who has the responsibilities of a household can seldom be. God has not given you a hard lot as compared with your sisters. When young women shall make up their minds at the stai t that masculine companion ship is not a necessity in order to happiness, and that there is a strong probability that they will have to fight the battle of life alone, they will be getting the t imber ready for their own fortune, and their saw and ax and plane sharpened for its construction, since “every wise woman buildeth her house.” As no boy ought to be brought up without learning some business at which he could earn a livelihood, so no girl ought to be brought up without learning the science of self support. The difficulty is that many a family goes sailing on the high tides of suc cess, and the husband and father depends on Vis own health and acumen for the welfare of his household, but one day he gets his feet wet, and in three days pneumonia hits closed his life, and the daughters are turned out on a cold world to earn bread, and there is nothing practical that they can do. The friends of the family come in and hold con sultation. “Give music lessons,” says an outsider. Yes, that is a useful calling; and if you have great genius for it go on in that direction, iut there are enough music teachers now starving to death in all our towns and cities to occupy all the piano stools and sofas and chairs and front doorsteps of the city, be side that, the daughter has been playing only for amusement and is only at the foot of the ladder, to the top of which a great multitude of masters on piano and harp and flute and organ have climbed. “Put the bereft daughters as saleswomen in store-.,” says another adviser. But there they must compete with salesmen of long ex perience or with men who have served an ap prenticeship in commerce, and who began as shop boys at 10 years of age. Some kind hearted dry goods man having known the ’ fatbei, now gone, says: “We are not in need of any more help just now, but send your daughters to my store and I will do as well ,by them as possible.” Very soon the ques tion comes up: Why do not the female em ployes of that establishmen get. as much wages as the male employes? For the simple reason in many cases the females were sud denly flung by misfortune behind that counter, while the males have from the day they left the public school been learning the business. How is this evil to be cured? Start clear back in the homestead and teach your daugh ters that life L an earnest thing, and th;vfc there is a possibility, if not a strong prob ability, that they will have to right the battle of life alone. Let every father and mother say to their daughters: “Now. what would you do for a livelihood if what I now own were swept away by financial disaster, or old | \age or death should end my career.” “Well, I could paint on pottery and do such decorative work.” Yes, that is beauti ful, and if you have genius for it go on in that direction. But there are enough busy at that now to make a line of hardware from here to the East River and across the bridge. “Well, I could make recitations in public and earn my living as a dramatist. 1 could render ‘King Lear’or ‘Macbeth’till your hair would rise on end, or give you ‘Sheridan’s Ride' oi- Dickens's ‘Pickwick? ” Yes, that is beautiful art, but ever and anon, as uow. i there is an epidemic of dramatization that makes hundreds of households nervous with : the cries and shrieks and groans of young tragedians dying in the fifth act, and the trouble is that while your triends would like to hear yon, and really think that you could surpass Risjori and Charlotte Cushman a i I Fannie Kemble of the past, to say noth ng of the present, you could not, in 'he way of riv ing, in ten years earn ten cents. Aly advice to all girls and all unmarried women, whether in affluent homes or in homos where most stringent economies are grinding, to learn to do some k nd of work that the world must have while the world stands. lam glad to see a marvelous change for the better, and that women have found out that there are hundreds of practical things, that a woman can do for a living if she begin soon enough, and that men have admit it. You and 1 can ■ ■ patriotic absence,women were demanded by the tens of thousands to take the vacant places, and multitudes of women who had been hitherto supported by fathers and brothers and sons, were compelled from that time to take care of themselves. From that time a mighty change took place, favorable to female employment. Among the occupations appropriate fcr women I place the following, into many of which she has already entered, anil all the others she will enter: Stenography, and you may find her at nearly all the reportorial stands in oureduca : tional, political and religious meetings. Savings banks, ths work clean and honor : able, and who so great a right to roil there, for a woman founded the first savings bank, 1 Mrs. Priscilla Wake field! ■ Copyists, and there is hardly a professional man that does not need the service of her I penmanship, and, as amanuensis, many of . the greatest books of our day haveb -en die ' tated for her writing. There they are as florists and confectioners I and music teachers and stationers and book keepers for which they are specially qualified by patience and accuracy: and woo -ngrav ing, in which the Cooper Institut ..as turned out so many qualified; and tzLgraphy, for which she is speciality prepa r a, as thous .nds of the telegraphic offic . would testify. Photography, and inner y all our establish ; ments they may be found there rt cheerful work. As workers in ivory and gutt i percha I and gum elastic and tortoise shell and gild ing and in chemicals, in porcelain, in terra I cotta, in embroidery. As postmistresses, and the President isgiv i ing them appointments all over the land. As keepers of lighthouses, many of them, I if they had the chance, ready to do as brave a thing with oar and boat as did Ida Lewis and Grace Darling. As proofreaders, as translators, as model j ers, as designers, as draughtswomen, as litho i graphers, as teachers in schools and semi ! navies for which they are especially endowed, I the first teacher of every ch.ld, by divine ar rangement, being a woman. : As physicians, having gra lusted after a ■ regular course of study from the female col leges of our large cities, where they get as ' sei -ntilic and thorough preparation as any lectors ever had, and go forth to a work which none but women could so appropri i etely or delicately do. On the lecturing platform, for you know I the brilliant success of Mrs. Livermore and Mrs. Hallowell, and Mrs. Willard and Airs. Lathrop. As physiological lecturers to their own sex, j for which service thereJs a demand appalling i and terrible. As preachers of the Gospel, and all the protests of ecclesiastical courts cannot hinder I them, for they.have a pathos and a power in their religious utterances that men can never I rea h. Witness all those who have heard : their mother pray. O, young women of America! as many of I you will have to fight your own battles alone, j do not wait until you are flung of disaster,and • your father is dead, and all the resources of i your family have been scattered, but now, i while in a good house, and environed by all j prosperities, learn how to do some kind of I work that the world must have as long as the ! world stands. Turn your attention from the I embroidery of fine slippers, of which there is a surplus, and make a useful shoe. Expend the time in which you adorn a cigar case in learning how to make a good, honest loaf of brenrl. Turn your attention from the making of flimsy nothings to the manufacturing of important somethings. Much of the time spent in young ladies’ seminaries in studying what are called the “higher branches” might better be expended in teaching them something by which they could support themselves. If you are going to b.? teachers, or if you have so much as sured wealth that you can always dwell in those high regions, trigonometry, of course; metaphysics, of course; Latin and Greek and German and French and Italian, of course; and 100 other things, of course; but if jmu are not expecting to tea'h, and your wealth is not established beyond misfortune, after you have learned the ordinary branches, take hold of that kind of study that will pay in dollars and cents in case you are thrown on your own resources. Learn to do some thing better than anybody else. Buy Vir ginia Penny’s book entitled “The Employ ments of Women,” and learn there are 500 ways in which a woman may earn a living. “No, no!” says some young woman, “1 will not undertake anything so unromantic and commonplace as that.” An excellent author writes that after he had, in a book, argued for efficiency in womanly work in order to success, and positive apprenticeship byway of preparation, a prminent chemist adver tised that ho would teach a class of women to become druggists and apothecaries if they would go through an apprenticeship as men do, and a printer advertised that he would take a class of women to learn the printer’s trade if they would go through an appren ticeship as men do, and how many according to the account of the authoress do y n sup pose applied to become skilled in the druggist business and printing business? Not one! Gne young woman said she would be willing to try the pointing business for six months, But by that time her older sister would bo married, and then her mother would want her at home. Aly sisters, it will be skilled womanly labor that will finally triumph. “But,” you ask, “what would my father add mother say if they saw I was douigsuch unfashionable work?” Throw the whole re sponsibility on the pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, who is constantly hearing of young women in all these cities who, unqual ified by their previous luxurious surround ings for the awful struggle of life into which they have been suddenly hurled, seemed to have nothing left them but a choice between starvation and damnation. There they go along the street at 7 o'clock in the wintry mornings through the slush and storm to the piace where they shall ea rn only half enough for subsistence, the daughters of once prosperous merchants, lawyers, clergymen, artists, bankers an I capitalists who brought up their children under the infernal delusion that it was not high-toned for women to learn a profitable calling. Young women, take this affair in your own hand and let there be an insurrection in all prosperous families of Brooklyn and New York and Christendom on the part of the daughters of this day, de manding kno.viedgein occupations and sty les of business by which they may be their own defense and their own support if all fatherly and husbandly and brotherly hands forever fail them. I have seen two sad sights—the one a wo man in all the glory of her young life stricken by disease, and in a week lifeless in a home of which she had been the pride. As her hands were folded over the still heart and her eyes closed for the last slumber, anil she was taken out amid the lamentations of kindred and friends, I thought that was a sadness im measurable. But I have seen something com pared with which that scene was bright and songful. It was a young woman who had been all her days amid wealthy surroundings, by the visit of death and bankruptcy to the household turned out on a cold world without one lesson about how to get food or shelter, and into the awful whirlpool of city life where strong ships have gone down, and for twenty years not one word has been heard from her. Vessels last week went out on the Atlantic Ocean looking for a shipwrecked craft that was left atone and forsaken on the sea a few weeks ago, with the idea of bring ing it into port. But who shall ever bring again into the harbor of peace and hope and heaven that lost womanly immortal, driven in what tempest, aflame in what conflagra tion, sinking into what abvss? O God. help! O Clirist. rescue! Aly sisters, give not your time to learning fancy work which the world may dispense with v. hen hard times cone, but connect your skill with the Indispensables of life. The world will always want something to wear and something to eat, and shelter and fu -1 for the body, and knowledge for the mind, and religion for the soul. And all these Ihintrs will continue to be the neces saries, and if you fasten your energies upon occupations and professions thus related the world will be unable to do without you. I Remember that in proportion as you aie skillful in anything your rivalries' become less. For unskilled toil, women bv the mill ion. But you may rise to where there are only a thousand': anl still higher till there ire only a hundred: and still higher f 1 there are only ten; an-1 still higher in some particular department till there is only a muc, and that yoursMf. For a while you I may keep wages and a place through the i kindly smvpatlr.es of an employer, but you I will eventually not yet more compensation than you can make yourself worth. Let me say to ail women who have already entered upon the battle of llfe th.it the time is nearing when woman shall not only get as much salary and wages as men get, blit for certain styles of employment w'-m -n will have higher salary a-hl more wag j s f>r the reason that f >r some style* of work tl >v have more adaptation. But th s just: • • will. ome to woman, not through any szntimeiit of gal lantry, not because" woman is physically w ikcrthnn man an.l therefore on.'’ to I have more consideration shown her. l.u! l-o. i cause through her finer natural t.st'mid more grace of manner and qn'el; r percep tion and more delicate touch "and mor.' ed.i cated adroitness,she will, in certain callings, be to her employer worth 10 per cent, man* or 20 per c nt. more than the o’her s >x. She will not get it by asking for it, but l>v earn ing it, and it shall be hers by lawful con quest. Now, men of America, be fair and give the women a chance! Are you afraid that they will do some of yonr work and’nenee harm your prosperities? Remember that there are scores of thousands of men doing women's work. Do not be afraid! God knows the end from the beginning and he knows how many people this world can feed and shelter, and when it gets too full ho will end the world and if need be start another. God will halt the inventive faculty which, by pro „ p,-. -hine thgt will" do the work of ’ ’ 4 and women. anotner sewing machine or reaping machine or corn thresher or any other new machine for the next 503 years. We want no more wooden hands and iron hands and steel hands and electric hands substituted for men and women who woula otherwise do the work and get the pay and earn the liveli hood. But God will arrange all, and all we have to do is to do our best and trust Him for the rest. Let me cheer all women fighting the battle of life alone, with the fact that thou sands of women have in that way won the day. Mary Lyon, founder of Mount Holy oake female seminary, fought the battle alone; Adelaide Newton, the tract distrib utor, alone; Fidelia Fisk, the consecrated missionary, alone; Dorothea Dix, the angel of the lunatic asylums, alone; Caroline Her schel, the indispensable re-enforcement of her brother,alone; Maida Te.krzewska.the heroine of the Berlin hospital, alone: Helen Chal mers . patron of sewing schools for the poor of Edinburgh., alone. And thousands and tens of thousands of women whose bravery and self-sacrifice and glory of character the world lias made no record, but whose deeds are in the heavenly archives of martyrs who fought the battle alone, and, though unrecognized for the short, thirty or fifty or eighty years of their earthly existence, shall, through the quintillion ages of the higher -orld. be pointed out with the admiring cry: “These are they who came out of great tribulation and had their robes washed and made white by the bloo I of the LamT).” 1 ,ct me also say for the encouragement of all women fish ting the battle of lite alone, tl it their conflict will soon end. There is one word written over the faces of many of them, and that word is Despair. My sister, you no d appeal to that Christ who com forted the siste-s of Bethany in their do mestic trouble, and who in his last hours for got all the pangs of his own hands and fp*t and Heart as he looked into the face of mater nal anguish and called a friend’s attentic i to it. in substance, saying: “John, I cannot take care of her any longer. Do for her as I would have done if I had lived. Behold thy mother!” If under the pressure of unrewarded and unappreciated work your hair is whitening and the wrinkles come, rejoice that you are nearing the hour of es cape from your very last fatigue, and may vour departure be' as pleasant as that of Isabella Graham, who closed her life with a smile and the word “peace.” The daughter of a regiment in any army is all surrounded by bayonets of defense, and in the battle, whoever fails, she is kept safe. And you are the daughter of the regiment commanded by the Lord of Hosts. After all, you are not fighting the battle of life alone. AH heaven is on yonr side. Yon will be wise to appro priate to yourself the words of sacred rhythm: One who has known in storms to sail I have on board: Above the roaring of the gale I hear my fiord. He holds me: when the billows smite I shall not falb If short, Tis sharp; if long, ’tis light; He temueri* all. SCIExMII’IC AND INDUSTRIAL.

I had not been many minutes on the key before I discovered a Htrge snow white bird nestling on the ground under a spray of lihacichallis. Its wings were barred with jet black; its bill was bright yellow, and tapered to a spear like point, which forbade too close mmiiiarity. This proved to be the yellow-billed tropic bird (Phaeton flavi rostris), and we afterward caught several in our hand, taking them from the nest. When held up by the wings they strike lustily with their bills and utter a pecu liarly shrill cry. The tropic bird lays a s.nglc egg on the ground beneath rocks or bushes. It is about the size and make oi the hen’s, and is finely sprinkled with reddish-brown, so as to appear of an almost uniform tint. One of these birds, which my companion shot and slightly svounded, flew a short distance ; i 1 then alighted on the water. As we snied toward it, first one and then an- came and hovered over it as ii urging it to take flight, ■which it pres ently did, and with its attendants soon pas.-'cd out of sight. These birds resem b.e the gulls in many points, but are distinguished from other sen fowl by two long streamers in the tail, which wave behind them as they fly.— Popular Ariinee Montldy.

The Appearance of an Intruder Sad denly Takes the Courage Out ot Her Boastful Husband. For some weeks past I have been ner vous about burglars, but every time I havi suggested that we ought to have a bur glar alarm he has replied: “Bosh! Burglars know what houses tc enter.” “But we have something to steal.” “Certainly we have, but no burglar it going to enter a house when he knows that the owner stands ready to shoot the top of his head off. Don’t you worry about burglars. They all knou me, and know enough to keep awaj from me.” Then Air. Bowser crossed his hands under his coat tails and walked up and down in such a self-satisfied way that 1 took courage. Next day he brought home the gun and the club, and as he deposited them at the head of the bed he exclaimed: “It’s simply to give you more confi dence; understand? For my part I’d give SSOO to find a burglar in my house.” That night, soon after midnight, 1 heard something fall in the house, and 1 nudged Air. Bowser into wakefulness and told him of it. “It’s that infernal old cat!” he growled in reply. “You’ve got burg lars on the brain, and I hope one wil! come! ” Ten minutes passed, and I was sure 1 heard some one creeping up stairs. J nudged Air. Bowser again and told hi;n so, but he replied: “Airs. Bowser, if you wake me up again I’ll go down town to sleep the re mainder of the night. You can be a lunatic on shorter notice than anybody I ever heard of. Now go to sleep and 1” The reason he stopped there was be cause a lantern was flashed in our faces, and a stern voice exclaimed: “ If either one of you make a move to get up I’ll blow your brains out! ” The burglar had come. The victim, whose blood Air. Bowser was hungering for, stood over us. The midnight marauder, on whose lifeless clay tha Coroner was to sit, was ready to be “sot” on. I confess I was badly frightened, but I did not lose my senses. 1 knew ho was there to rob, and that he had all the advantage, and I did not move a finger. “Come, old chap,” continued the burglar after a moment, “ I want your services. Get out of that!” “Take all we have, but spare our lives? ” pleaded Air. Bowser. “That’s what I’m going to do, old duffer! Climb out o’that and hunt me up your wealth!” With that he lighted the gas, sat down on the edge of the bed, and Air. Bowser brought him both our watches, our jew elry, and the S2OO hidden in the dresser. I never saw Air. Bowser so obliging and thoughtful. lie even rummaged the dresser to find my last rhinestone pin, and he said “Yes, sir!” and “No, sir!” to that burglar with the greatest respect. When everything of value up stairs had been collected, the old man said: “Now, old double shins, wrap that swag in a towel and bring it down stairs for me?” “You won’t kill him!” I gasped. “No, inarm; I haven’t the time to spare for that. What’s that gun and club for?” “To defend ourselves from burglars. I wish I knew how to shoot.” “Exactly ma’ain, and I admire your spunk. Here’s your watch and jewelry back, and I hope you’ll pardon this in trusion. Sorry you've got such an old funk for a husband. Come along, old shingles!” Air. Bowser meekly followed him down stairs, got out all our choice silver from the safe, found him a basket to carry off his plunder, and was then driven up stairs while the burglar made off. Air. Bowser got into bed without a word, and 1 sat up and listened until I heard the rascal go. Then I said: “Well, Air. Bowser, you wanted burg lars. We’ve had a real, live one, and the house is cleaned out.” “And who’s to blame for it? Airs. Bow ser, I didn’t believe you would ever dare to speak to me again!” “ Who’s to blame ? Am I?” “Who else can be? Here for forty consecutive nights you’ve kicked me awake from two to ten times to whisper ‘Burglars 1’ into my ear! You got me off my guard!” “ But I told you I heard a burglar in the house!” “But I knew better I It was your business to have been awake sooner and have given me a chance to get the gun. Ah! if I could have got that gun!” “But you never even protested.” “Protested! Do you think a, man of my standing is going to bandy words with a burglar ? Aly action was taken with a view to save your life.” “Well, let’s go down and see what’s left.” Not an inch would he move until day light, and before we got up he promised me a silk dress not to mention the affair. No sooner had he swallowed his break fast, however, than he posted off to Po lice Headquarters and the newspapers, and the result was a column article, with the heads: — “Terrific Fight for Life —A Burglar Catches a Tartar—A Alidnight Visitor Flung Through the Window —A Faint ing Wife and a Cool Husband.” “Air. Bowser, did you tell ’em any such yarn as that ?” I asked him, after reading the account. “Yarn! Airs. Bowser, do you know who you are talking to ?” “ But you never offered the least re sistance, and you even suffered him to call you names.” “I did, eh! Y'ou, lying there in a dead faint, knew all that went on. eh ? Very well, Airs. Browser; I'll send the doctor up to examine into your mental condition. The strain has probably been too much on you. Poor woman! Poor woman '."-—Detroit Free Press. A Dog with Spectacles. Here, from the Re ord, of Nelson County, Ky., is a dog story that ought to pass muster: “An aged hound, be longing to Charles Roby, had for several months been almost totally blind. He <io longer heeded the huntsman’s bugle, but roamed about the yard in a dejected manner. A few days since some children, while playing with him, placed on his nose a pair of spectacles which contained i powerful lens. He at once began to romp around as he did in the days of his puppyhood. They were securely fastened before his eyes and on the following day, when the other dogs were called for the chase, he joined, aud was in the lead when his glasses were pulled off by the briers, lie immediately carried them to his master and evinced clearly that he wanted them replaced. AV hen they are removed he whines and growls, but when replaced he shows his joy by the wagging of his tail.” They Were Married. It seems to make very little difference where you arc when the marriage cere mony is performed. A young runaway couple in Kansas were driving to th< church, but the horses took freight and the sleigh stuck in a snowbank. They were tied right there and then. The next thing will be a marriage or a toboggan slide, with minister, bride and groom traveling at the rate of s mile a minute. There is nothing like novelty in this world, and if an attack of rheumatism is thrown in, why, th< interest of the occasion is vastly in creased.—Ajs.c York Herald.

It is undoubtedly the best blood medicine made, and for this malarial country should be used by every one in the spring of the year, and as good in sum mer, fall and winter as a tonic and blood puri fier. * * * * GIVES BETTER SATISFACTION- Cadiz, Ky., Julj- Gth, 1887.

Brandon. IT REMOVED THE PIMPLES. Bound Mountain, Tex., March 29, 1887. A lady friend of mine has for several years been troubled with bumps and pimples on her face and neck, for which she used various cos metics in order to remove them and beautify and improve her complexion ; but these local applications were only temporary and left her skin in a worse condition. I recommended an internal preparation known as Botanic Blood Balm—which I have been using and selling about two years; she used three bottles and nearly all pimples have disappeared, her skin is soft and smooth, and her general health much improved. She ex presses herself much gratified, and can recom mend it to all who are thus affected. Mrs. S. M. Wilson. The Shah’s Great Wealth. What he terms his museum is a curious place. It contains a profusion of costly articles and objects of ai t such as exist nowhere else at the present day, it being the opinion of well-informed Europeans, who have viewed these treasures, that their money value is perhaps twenty-fold that of the contents of the so-called green vaults at Dresden. It is impossible to give exact figures, for they could only be obtained after a long and minute inspec tion and valuation by experts; but roughly estimated, it is probable that there is more Ilian $100,000,000 worth of jewelry, precious stones, coined and un coined gold, costly objits de rertu, fine porcelain and glassware, old weapons and armor, tableware and ornaments of exquisite Persian and Hindu workman ship, etc. The so called peacock throne (a part of the plunder Nadia Shah car ried off from Delhi 150 years ago) is alone valued at many millions, even after a number of the large, rough and uncut jewels have been broken out and stolen. It is an incongruous place, this museum. There you will see vases of agate or gold and lapis lazuli, said to be worth millions; and alongside of them empty perfume bottles of European make, with gaudy labels, that can be had at wholesale for about five cents apiece. You will see priceless mosaics and exquisitely painted cups and cans and vases, which were presented by some European potentate; and side by side with them you will notice horrible daubs, veritable 10-cent chromes, picked up the Lord knows how and where. You will perceive glass cases filled with huge heaps of rubies, diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, turquoises, garnets, topazes, beryls, of all sizes and kinds, cut and uncut; and cheek by jowl with these your eyes will see cheap music boxes, Jew’s harps and squeaky hand organs. • The Shah must also be in a condition to “ bull ” the market on pearls, for here is, for instance, a big glass case, twenty four inches long by eighteen inches wide and high, that is more than half filled with beautiful pearls (mostly from the Persian Gulf fisheries) of all sizes and degrees of loveliness. In a separate long case the orders and decorations of the Shah, coming from nearly every country in the world, are kept on exhibition; but the crown jewels are in a little box that is always locked and for which the Shah himself forever, waking or sleeping, carries the keys. The contents of this box and of the several vaults where he keep' his piles on piles of bright, shining, un used money, he never allows others to view, although the museum may be visited once a year by the European diplomatists and the friends that they vouch for.— Cosmopolitan. The Armies of Europe. “The bloated armaments of the great military powers of Europe” display their proportions in a very striking manner in Colonel Vogt’s work on “The European Armies of the Present.” The mobilized strength of France is set down at 2,051,- 458 troops, exclusive of the territorial army, which is equally large; that of Eussia at 1,922,405; Germany, 1,493,690; and Austro-llungary, 1,035,955. The military strength of Italy has now at tained proportions that would have been deemed incredible ten years ago. 1 nclud ing militia, it is said to amount to 2,387,- 332 men. If, however, a similar inclu sion be made in the case of Russia, the military strength of that power will probably be found to exceed even that of the French republic. Compared with these figures the numerical proportions of the Briti-h army ought almost to sat isfy the members of the Peace Society. Including our militia and volunteers, as well as the Indian army, we can just muster 781,677 troops. And these have to serve for the defence of territory dis tributed over a very much wider area than that ruled by any of the other powers.— London Court Journal. Portraits on American Currency.

An old traveler has discovered a unique method of feeing the hotel waiter so as to secure the best results. He says: “At the beginning of the first week at the hotel, should the attention of the waiter prove satisfactory, I quietly takO a $5 bill froifi my pocket, crease it across the center, and with a penknife cut it in two pieces. At the end of the meal I present the waiter with one half, placing the other in my pocketbook, with the remark that if his attentions continue satisfactory I will at the end of the week present him with the other half. This scheme works like a cb*rn>-’” —Hotel Gazette. A Hard Day’s Work For Clerks.

Cincinnati policemen get dip'orm. for acts of heroism. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. Good GrueL There are times when gruel ig about the only fare allowed the invalid by the physician. When things come to this strait, it is fortunate for the patient if some one in the house happens to know how to make it. Indian meal gruel may be made palatable in this manner: Wet two tablespoonfuls of the meal to a smooth paste with cold water, and stir it into one pint of boiling water. Stir occasionally while over the fire, and let it boil half an hour. Be very careful not to let it scorch. If it becomes too thick, add more water. Season with salt, sugar, lemon juice and grated nutmeg. A tiny piece of butter is an improvement, if it is not forbidden. How To Hang Pictures. When there are to be many pictures hung in a room, the walls should be quiet in color and not elaborate in decoration. A wall with surface of the sligthly roughened stucco coating, or of paper of a single tone of terracotta, dull green, blue or gray, undoubtedly shows pictures to the best advantage, but if the pictures are not many nor very choice, then the general effect of the room should'be the main object in view. A beautiful and effective wall decoration is not by any means always an expensive one, and very harmonious results are often obtained from using the large sheets of cartridge paper which come in good tones of dull blue and terracotta, and arranging a wide freize of some harmonizing or con trasting color, in which a conventional design has been stenciled. Or if the owner of the room lacks the time and ingenuity for such work, paper for this purpose with a graceful, flowing pattern in chrysanthemums, or other large snowy flowers, in subdued colors can now be obtained at very small cost from any paperhanger. A narrow molding of cherry, mahogany or gilt is a pretty finish to be tacked on where the freize joins the wall covering, and upon this should be placed the books for hanging pictures. If some of the money which is spent in overloading rooms with trumpery ornaments that give them a cheap, tawdry appearance, was put into the wall deco rations, the whole effect would be much more satisfactory and artistic. Cretonne cut into two widths has been used for a frieze with very good effect. It is to be put up with small brass tacks. One ingenious lady took cheap Notting ham lace and painted the pattern in har monizing tones, making a charming frieze for her drawing-room.— Detroit Tribune. Recipes. Plain Light Pudding.—One pint ol boiling milk and nine tablespoonsful ol flour—mix first with a little cold milk. When cold add a little salt and four well-beaten eggs and bake in a buttered dish. Serve as soon as it is done. Plain Lemon Pie.—Add to boiling water enough of the pulp and juice of lemons to render it quite acid; then sweeten to taste, and thicken just enough with corn starch to make it like a thin jelly. Fill the baked crusts, and bake about fifteen minutes, then frost them if desired. Meat Croquettes.—Two cups ol chopped meat, two cups of bread crumbs, two cups of hot milk. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Beat the yolk of one egg, add the milk, a teaspoonful ol melted butter, bread crumbs and meat. Form into small flat cakes and fry in butter. Minced Beef.—Three pounds of raw beef, lean, chopped fine, five soda crack ers rolled fine, two eggs well beaten, one and one-half teaspoonfuls of pepper, three slices of pork chopped, one-half cup of milk, and salt to taste. Mix al) thoroughly, make into a loaf. Bake two hours. This should be sliced cold foi tea or luncheon. Orange Pudding. Grate three sponge biscuits in enough milk to make a paste; beat three eggs and stir them in with the juice of a lemon and half the peel grated. Put a teacupful of orange juice and one of sugar, with half a cup of melted butter in the mixture; stir it ■well, put in a dish with puff paste around it, and bake slow one hour. To Warm Over Cold Mutton. —An excellent and simple way is to cut it, if loin, into chops, or if leg, into thick scallops, and dip each into egg well beaten with a teaspoonfid of milk, then in fine bread crumbs, and fry in plenty ol .very hot fat. If your crumbs are nol very fine and even, the larger crumbs wil! fall off, and the appearance be spoiled. Joy and Sorrow.
