In a hospital cwleprosy good King Uzsiab
had died, and the whole land was aha lowed
with solemnity, and theological and pr6-
pheile Isaiah was thinking about
things, as one is apt to do in time of great
n&ti nal bereavement, and forgetting the
presence of his wife and two eons, who ma le
up his family, be has a dream not like tho
dreams of ordinary character, which gen-
eraliy come from indigestion, but a vision
most instructive, and under the touch of the
hand of the Almighty.
The place, the ancient temple—building
grand, awful, majtistic. Within that temple
a throne higher and grander than that oc-
copied by any CEar or sultan or emperor.
On that throne, the eternal Christ. Iu lines
purrounding that thr me, the brightest celee-
tials, not the cherubim, out higherthaa they,
the most exquisite and radiant of the heav-
en'y inhabitants-the s«raphim. They are
calied burner? because they look like
lips of fire, eyes of fire, feet of fire. la ad-
ditlon to tbe features and tha limbs, which
suggest a human Wing, there are pinions
which suggest the Jithest, the swiftest, the
most buoyant and tha most aspiring of all
unintelligent creation—a bird. Each seraph
bad six wings, each two of the wings for a
different purpose. Isaiah’s dream quiv r»
and flaahes with these pinions, cow folded,
now ■•With spread, now beaten in locomotion,
twain he covered bis feet, with twain
he covered his face, and with twain he did
fly.”
The poobabi-lity is that these wings were
not aii used at once. The seraph standing
there no»r the throne, overwhelmed at the
insign'.ficauce of the paths his feet
trodden its compared with the paths trodden
by the f**et of God, and with the lameness of
his locomotion amounting almost to decrepi-
tudo as compared with tho divine velocity,
wirh feathery .veil of angelic modesty hide-*
the feet. “With twain he did cover the
foot.”
Standing there, overpowered tv the over-
matching splendors of God’s glory and un-
ai lo longer with the eyes to look upon them
and wishing those eyes shaded from the in-
sufferable glory, tne pinions gather over the
countenance. '‘With twain ho did cover the
face.” Then, as God tells this seraph to go
to the farthest outpost of immensity on
message of light aa l love and joy and get
back before the first anthem, it does not take
the seraph a great while to spread himself
upon the ntr with unimagtned celerity, one
stroke of the wing equal to 10,00u leagues of
air. “With twain he did flv.”
The most practical and useful lesson for
you and me, when we see the seraph spread-
ing hLs wings over the feet, is the lesson of
humility at imperfection. The brighest
angels of God arc so far beneath God that
He charges them with folly, the seraph so
far beneath God and wo so far beneath the
seraph humility, in service we ought to be plunged in
laggard they utter have and complete. Our feet, how
been in tho divine ser¬
vice! Our feet, how many missteps the.y
have taken! Our feet, in how many paths
of worldlincss and folly have they walked!
I sound the praises of the human foot.
With that we halt or climb or march. It is
the foundation of the physical fabric. It is
tho bn«» of a God poised column. With it
the warrior braces himself for battle. With
it the orator plants h mself for eulogium.
With it tho toiler reaches his work. With it
tho outraged stamps his Indignations, its loss
an irreparable disas er, its heaith an inval-
liable equipment. If you want to know its
value, ask the man whose foot paralysis hath
shriveled, or machinery hath crushed, or
surgeon’s knife hath amputated. Tho Bible
honor* tt. Especial care. “Lost thou dash
thy foot against a stone,” “He will not suffer
thy foot to bo moved,” “Thy feet shall not
stumble.” Especial charge, “Keep rhy foot
w£ten thon goest to the house of God.”
Espeqial peril, “Their feet shall slide iu due
time.” Connected with the world’s dissolu-
tiou. “He sba.l set one foot on the sea and
the other oh the earth.”
Give me the history of your foot,and I will
give yen the history of your lifetime. Tell
me up what steps it hath gdne. down what
declivities and in what roads and In what
directions, and I will know more about you
than I want to bnovf-. None of us could en-
dute the scrutiny. Our feet not always in
paths of God. sometimes in paths of worldli-
ness. Our feet, a divine and glorious ma-
ohinery for usefulness and work, so often
making missteps, so often going In the wrong
direction. God knowing every step, the
patriarch saying, “Thou settest a print on
the heels of my feet.” Crimes of the hand,
crimes of the tongue, crimes of the eye.
crimes of tho ear not worse than crimes of
the foot. Oh, wo want the wings of humili-v
to cover the feet! Ought wo not to go into
self abnegation before the all searching, all
scrutinizing, all trying eye of God? The
seraphs do. How much more we? “With :
twain he covered his feet.” j
AU this talk about the dignity of human
nature is braggadocio and sin. Our nature
started at the hand of God regal, but it lias |
been pauperized. There is a wed in Bel-i
gium which once had very pure water, and 1
it was stoutly masoned with stoue and brick, ;
but that well afterwa-’d became the centre
of ihe battle of Waterloo. At the opening of
th’e battle the soldiers with their sabers com-
pelled the gardener, William von Kytsom. to
draw water out o-f the well for them, and 1t :
—A>r. ' But the battle raged,
was very pure w
and 3CHT dvnd am Uhalf dea l were flur.g into | j
the well for quiet and easy burial, so that
the well of refreshment became the well of i
death, and long after people looked down ' ■
Into tho well and they saw th* bleached
sknll?, but no water. 'Sothe human soul
was a well of gv>od. but the armies of sin have I
been fougbt around it and fought across it and |
slain, nnd it has become a well of skele-|
tons. Dead hopes, dead resolutions, dead
opportunities, dotted well vnless dead Christ ambitions. shall reopen An abau- and j j
purify and fid it aa tho wed of Belgium •
never was. Unclean, unclean.
Another seraphic posture in the text,
“With twain he covered the face.” That
means reverence Godward. Never so mueh
irreverence abroad,in the world as today.
You see it in the defaced statuary, in the
cutting out of figures from flue paintings, in
the chipping of monuments for a memento,
in the fact that military guard must stand at
the grave ot Lincoln and Garfield, juid tha: I
old shade trees must be out down for fire-
wood, though fifty George T. Morrises beg
the woodmen to spare the tree, and that culls
a corpse going a cadaver, and that speaks of death ■
as over the to the majority, and substi-
tutes for reverent terms father and
mother “the old mao’’ and “the old wotnaa.”
and finds nothing impressive in the ruins of
Baatt**o or the columns of Karnae, and sees
no difference in the Sabbath from other days
except ft allows more dissipation, and reads
the Bible in what is called higher eritivism,
making it not the word of Goa. but a good
book with soin$ fine things in it- j
Irreverence never so much abroad. How i
mauytak** the name of God in vain, hows
many trivial things said about the A mightv!
Net witling to hnvo God in the world, they
roll up au idea o* sentimentality and hu-
mno!tariani?:u and impudence and imbecil¬
ity .tnd call it G-od. No wings of reverence
over the face, no taking off of shoes on holy
ground. You cau teii from the way they tal k
they could have made a better world than ;
this, and that the God of the Bible shoeks ■
every love'of sense of propnetry. that show-* They talk of the |
God *n a way you they be- j
lie\e ,t does not make any d eference how
ba i a man is here he will come in at the i

in a way which shows you they tbiuk it is a
general jail delivery lor all the abmdoned
and the scoundreliy of ti e uutverse. No

be>c. , 1
Reverenee for shorn, reverence for the old
merely because it is old, reverence for stu- J
pldlty however learned, reverence for in¬
capacity however finely in an curat ? I have
none. But we want more reverence for
Gbod. more reverence for the sacraments,
more reverence for the Bible, more rever-
eoce for the pure, mewe reverence for the
good. Reverence a characteristic of ail
great natures. Yon hear it in the roll of the
master oratorios. You see it in the Raphaels
and Titians and Ghirian iaois. You study it
In the architecture of the Aboliat* and
Christopher about Wrens. Do not be flippant
God. Do not joke about death. Do
nc> t tn&k* fun about the Bible. Do not de-
ride the Eternal. The brightest and mfght-
seat seranh cannot look unabashed upon
Him. Involuntarily the wmgs «ome up.
‘‘With twain he covered his face.”
Who is ibis God before whom the arrogant
and intractable refuse reverence? There
who wr-s an engineer by th“ name of Strasierates
was in the employ of Alexander the
Great, and he offered to hew a mountain in
the shape of his master, the emperor, the
enormous figure to hold in the left hand a
city of 10.Obi inhabitants, while in the right
hand it was to hold a basin large enough to
collect ail the mountain torrents. Alexan-
der applauded him for his ingenuity, but for-
bade ibe enterprise because of its costliness,
Yet I have to tell you that our King holds in
one hand all the cities of the earth, and all
the oceans, while he has the stars of heaven
for his tiara.
from Earthly power goes from hand to hand
Henry I to Henry II and Henry HI,
from Charles I to Charles II. from Louis I
to Louis II and Louis III, but from everlast-
ing to everlasting is God. God the first, God
the last, God the only. Ho has onetelescope,
with which he sees everything—his omnis-
cienoe. He has one bridge, with which he
crosses everything—his omnipresent)- 1 . He
has one hammer, with which he builds
everything—his omnipotence. Put two
tablespoonfals of water In the palm of
vour hand, and it wiii overflow, but Isaiah
indicates that God puts the Atlantic, and
the Pacific, and the Arctic, and the Antare-
tic, and the Mediterranean, and the Black
Sea, and all the waters of the earth in the
hollow of His hand. The fingers tho beach
on one side,the wrist the beach on the other,
holdeth the water in the hollow oi His
hand.”
As you take a pinch of salt or powder be-
tween your thumb and two fingers, so Isaiah
indicates God takes up the earth. He meas-
ures the dust of the earth, the original there
in licating that God takes allthedustof all
the continents between the thumb and two
fingers. You wrap around your hand a blue
ribbon five times, ten times. You say it is
five hand breadths or it is ten hand breadths,
So indicates tho prophet God winds the
bln© ribbon of tho sky around His hand,
“He meteth out the heavens with a
span.” Yon know that balances are
made of a beam suspended in the middle,
with .two basins at the extremity of equal
heft. In that way what vast heft has been
weighed! But what are all the balances of
earthly manipulation compared with the
balancesth.it Isaiah saw suspended when he
saw God putting into the scales the Alps and
the Apennines and Mount "Washington and
the Sierra Nevadas? You see the earth had
to be ballasted. It would not do to have too
much weight in Europe, or too mueh weight
in Asia, or too much weight in Africa or in
America, so when God made tho mountains
he weighed them. The Bible distinctly
scys so. God knows the weight of the great
ranges that cross the continents, the tons,
the pounds avoirdupois, the ounces, the
grains, weighed the then millegrtxns—just^how and fast how -h they much weigh they
mu
now. “He weighed tho mountains in scales
and the hills in a balance.” Oh, what a God
to run against! Oh, what a God to disobey!
Oh, what a God to dishonor! Oh, what a
God to defy! The brightest, the ruig htiest
angel takes no familiarity with God. The
wings of reverence are lifted, “With twain
he covered the face.”
Another seraphic posturoin the text. The
seraph must not always standstill. He must
move, and it must bo without clumsiness,
There must be celerity and beauty in the
movement. “With twain he did fly.” Cor-
rection, exhilaration. Correction at our
slow gait, for we only crawl in the service
when we ought to fly at the divine bidding,
Exhilaration in the fact that the soul has
wings as the seraphs have wings. What is
a wing? An instrument of locomotion.
They may not be like seraphs’ wing, they
may not be like birds’ wing, but the soul has
wings. Godsaysso. “He shall mount up
on wings ns eagles.” We are made in the
divine image, and God has wings. The Bible
says so. “Healing in His wings.” “Under
the shadow ot Hia wings.” “Under Whose
wings hast thou come to trust.” The
soul with folded wing now, wounded
wing, broken wing, bleeding wing, caged
wing. Aye, I have it now! Caged witMn
bars of bone and under curtains of flesh, but
one (lay to be free. I hear the rustle at
pinions in Seagrave’s poem which wb some-
times sing:
Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wiDgs.
I hear the rustle of pinions in Alexander
Pope’s stanza, where he says:
I mount, I fly.
O death, where is thy victory?
Oh. people of God, let us stop playing the
fool and prepare for rapturous flight. When
your soul stands on the verge of this life.
iiud there are vast precipices beneath and
sapphtred domes above, which way will you
fly? Will you swoop, or will you soar? Will
you fly downward, or will you fly upward/
Everything on tho wing this day bidding us
aspire. Holy Spirit on the wing. Angel of
the New Covenant on the wing. Time on
the wing, flying away from us. .Eternity on
the wing, flying toward us. YS ings, wings,
wings!
Live so near to Christ that when vou are
dead people soliloquise, standiug hy your lifeless body
will not saying; “What a dis-
appointment life was to him! How averse he
was to departure! What a pity it was he had
to die! What au aw iu l calamity!” Rather
standing there may they see a sign more
vivid on vour still face than the vestiges of
pain, something that will indicate that
it was a happy exit, the clearance from
oppressive quarantine, the cast-off chrvsa-
lis. the molting of the faded and the useless,
and the ascent from malarial valleys to
bright, shining mountain tops, and be led to
say, as they stand there contemplating your
humility and your reverence in life and your
happiness in death, “With twain he covered
the feet, with twain he covered his face,
with twain he did fly.” Wings, wings, wings!
BUYING DOLLAR HORSES,
Kentucky Fanner Fattens His Hogs on
Equine Flesli.
Every imaginable kind of horse save a
Stood and serviceable ohe Is taken to George-
town, Ky., on court days to be traded off.
Frequent tracks are made for twenty-five
ceuts to boot and many amusiug sights are
witnessed on “jockey row,” as it is called,
Iu connection with this trading in worn-out
horses a new industry has sprung up.
A raau from Woodford County was iu the
trading crowd buying all the horses he
could get for $ I per head. He kdls them,
feeds the fl^h to his hogs, sells the hides and
boms and flndb it profitable, Whenever he
buys a horse for a dollar and he can sail it
for two he lets it go, otherwise it is fed to
the hogs.
The Emperor’s Sarcasm.
While taking bis daily constitutional with
the Empress in tbs Thiergarten. Berlin,
Emperor William of Germany passed a
laborer.who stared at him but did not salute.
His Majesty tnrne I, called upon the man to
halt, fashion, and iheD. touching his bat in military
said: “My man, if you do not wish
to salute your Emperor, at least you might
pay proper respect to the Empress.” Then,
turn.ng on his hee', the Emperor left the
man standing in a state of considerable
astonishment,

Motor cars being the sensation of
the day just now, wealthy natives in
India are introducing horseless vehi¬

five miles an hour for ten hours with¬
out recharging.
Shad are of different families, which
come from the ocean to the rivers
along the Atlantic Coast to spawn.
The shad of Florida are not the same
as those of the Hudson or the Connec¬
ticut or the Susquehanna. The same
fish come each year to the particular
river where they were born, and in
their appearance are slightly different.
Each river is the home of a separata
colony.
Art ot the lee Sculptor.
Nearly all of the ice used in the con¬
struction of the ice fortress at Mon¬
treal, and the various exhibits, is cut
from the St. Lawrence Kiver in blocks
two feet thick, four or fiv# feet long
and three feet wide. Strangers are
greatly amazed because the structure
looks as if it had been chiseled out of
a single block of ice of colossal pro¬
portions. No seams of joining places
are visible, but this is easily managed.
When any work in the ice scultor’s art
is completed, water is poured over the
whole; the water is poured into every
crack and crevice, speedily freezing
and solidifying it into one mass.
The Canadian ice sculptor is some¬
thing of a genius. He takes a block
of ice, has it planed with an iron plane,
places another block on top of it simi¬
larly planed, and keeps this up until
he has builded a block of the desired
dimensions. Then he goes to work
with a peculiar kind of chisel made
especially for ice use and by which ho
avoids splitting up the ice.
Beautifully proportioned figures are
fashioned in this way and with start¬
ling rapidity, considering the intricate
character of some of tho work. A
regular zoological garden is exhibited
—elephants, lions, tigers, camels,
bears and beasts and birds of all vari¬
eties. These animals are mounted on
pedestals of various kinds, some of
solid transparei t ice, others of seem¬
ingly mottled rnurble and others of all
colors of the rainbow—red, blue,
green, black, pink and the many minor
shades.
How the ice is colored is % mystery
to many, btit it is very easily accom¬
plished. Water is poured into the
molds and before it has a chance to
freeze a dye of tho desired color is
mixed in the water. Then when it
freezes the sculptor has a block of
bine, green or red ice.
Still more beautiful effects are ob¬
tained by pouring the dye upon snow
and allowing it to percolate through
it in streaks. Then, when it is frozen,
it looks like glistening marble, created
by soire magician. Blocks of this
dazzling material are used for tha
pedestals of great statues.
Cast Away Sixty Tons oi Cod.
Tons of codfish are spoiling on tho
Great South Beac-h opposite Easfcport,
Long Island. The fishermen in the
holidays made phenomenal catches
of these fish which, owing to the low
price they commanded in the New
York market, could not be sold at a
price sufficient to pay the freight.
They were therefore buried in the
snow by the fishermen who, expecting
aq increased price, hoped to dispose
of them later at a profit.
As the rise in price has not come,
and no snow remains wherein they
may be preserved, the discouraged
fishermen have been compelled to
throw them away.
In this respect they paralleled tho
action of tho farmers last season, who
carried bushels of potatoes out of tho
fields to obtain room for the new crop.
It is estimated that the quantity of
codfish on hand will aggregate sixty
tons, tha major portion of which wilt
iae allowed to spoil.—New Yqjk Press,

A Happy Idea.
“How,” he asked, “would you like
to be shipwrecked upon some desert
island with no human being but me to
give you companionship?”
“Well,” she replied, “a good deal
would depend upon the size of the
island. If it were as large as this
room, for instance, and you could find
a seat on the end farthest from me,
I’m afraid it would be very lonesome.”
After he had taken the easy chair
and got her nicely settled, with her
head against his heaving breast, he
murmured:
“Ah. sweetest, isn’t it nice to love as
we do?”
“Yes,” she answered, “but I’m so
sorry you didn’t think of that island
before.”—Cleveland Leader.

These are the positive fore-runners of serious womb complications, and unless

Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will, beyond the question of a
doubt, relieve all this trouble before it becomes serious, and it has cured
many after their troubles had become chronic.
The Compound should be taken immediately upon the appearance of any of
these symptoms above enumerated. It is a vegetable t-onic which invigorates
and stimulates the entire female organism, and will produce the same bene¬
ficial results in the case of any sick woman as it did with Mbs. Chas. King, 1S15

“ I write these few lines, thanking you for restoring ray health. For twelve
years I suffered with pains impossible to describe. I had ben ring-down feelings,
backache, burning sensation in ray stomach, chills, headache, and always had
black specks before my eyes. I was afraid to stay alone, for I sometimes had
four and five fainting spells a day. I had several doctors and tried many pat¬
