Abject: Xlie Queens of Home—Tlie Rights of Woman Discussed—Her Dominion Is Home, and There She Should Klglit ly Rule—Comforter of the Sick. [Copyright, Louis Klopsch, 1899.1 Washin(}tos, D. C.—ln this discourse the opportunities or usefulness for women tire set forth by Dr. Tutmiige, and many sym pathies are stirred and memories recalled. The test is Solomon’s Songs, vi., 8. “There are three-score queens.” So Solomon by one stroke set forth the Imperial character of a true Christian wom an. She is not a slave, not a hireling, not a subordinate, but a queen. In a former sermon I showed you that crown and court ly attendants and imperial wardrobe'were not necessary to make a queen, but that graces of the heart and life will give coro nation to any woman. I showed you at some length that woman’s position was higher in the world than man’s, and that, although she had often been denied th’e right of suffrage, she always did vote and always would vote by ber influence, and that her chief desire ought to be that she should have grace rightly to rule in the dominion which she has already won. I began an enumeration of some of her rights and now I resume the subject. In the first place, woman has the special and the superlative right of blessing and comforting the sick. AVhat lahd, what street, what house has not felt the smitlngs ■of disease? Tons of sick beds' What shall we do with them? Shull man, with his rough hand and clumsy foot, go stumbling around the sickroom, trying to soothe the distracted nerves and alleviate the pains of the distressed patient? The young man at college may scoff at the idea at being under material influences, but at the first blast of typhoid fever on his cheek he says, “Where is mother.” It is an awful thing to be ill away from home in a strange hotel, once in awhile men coming in to look at you, holding their band over their mouth for fear they will catch the contagion. How roughly they turn you in bed! How loudly they talk! How you long for the ministries of home! I know one such who went away from one of the brightest of homes for sev eral weeks’ business absence at the west. A telegram came at midnight that he was on his deathbed far away from home. By express train the wife and daughters went westward, but they went too late. He feared not to die, but he was in an agony to live until his family got there. He tried to bribe the doctor to make him live a lit tle longer. He snid, “I am willing to die, but not alone.” But the pulses fluttered, the eyes closed and the heart stopped. The express trains met in the midnight, wife and daughters going westward, lifeless re mains of husband and father coming east ward. Ob, ft was a sad, pitiful, over whelming spectacle! When we are sick, we want to be sick at home. When the time comes for us to die, we want to die at home. The room may he very humble, and the laces that look into ours may be very plain, but who cares for that? Loving hands to bathe the temples. Loving voices to speak good cheer. Loving lips to read the comforting promises of Jesus. In our Civil War men cast the cannon, men fashioned the musketry, men cried to the hosts, “Forward, march!” men hurled their battalions on the sharp edges of the enemy, crying, “Charge, charge!” but woman scraped the lint, woman adminis tered the cordials, woman watched by the dying couch, woman wrote the last mes sage to the home circle, woman wept at the solitary burial, attended by herself and four men with a spade. Wo greeted the generals home with brass bands and triumphal arches aud wild huzzas, but the story is too good to be written anywhore save in the chronicles of heaven, of Mrs. Brady, who came down among the sick in the swamps of the Chickahominy; of Annie Hess in the copper shop hospital; of Mar garet Breckinridge, who came to men who had been for weeks with their wounds un dressed —some of them frozen to the ground, and when she turned them over those that had an arm left waved it and filled the air with their “hurrah!” —of Sirs. Hodge, who came from Chi cago with bhmkqts and with pil lows, until the men shouted: “Three cheers for the Christian commission! God bless the women at home!” then sit ting down to take the last message: “Tell my wifonot to fret about me, but to meet me in heaven; tell her to train up the boys whom we have loved so well; tell ber we shall meet again in the good land; tell her to bear my loss like the Christian wife of a Christian soldier,” and of Mrs. Shelton, in to whose face the convalescent soldier looked and said, “Your grapes and cologne cured me.” And SO it was also through all of our war with Spain—women heroic on the field, braving death and wounds ’to reach the fallen, watching by their fever cots in the West Indian hospitals or on the troopships or in our smitten home camps. Men did their work with shot and shell and carbine and howitzer; women did their work with socks and slippers and bandages and warm drinks and Scripture texts and gentle stroking of the hot temples and •tories of that laud where they never have any pain. Men knelt down over the wounded’and said, “On which side did you fight?” ’Women knelt down over the wounded and said: “Where aro you hurt? What nice thing can I make for you to eat? What makes you cry?” To-night while we men are sound asleep in our beds there will be a light in yonder loft; there will be groaning down that dark alley; there will be cries of distress in that cellar. Men will sleep, and women will watch. Again, woman has a special right to take care of the poor. There are hun dreds and thousands of them all over the land. There is a kind of work that men cannot do for the poor. Here comes a group of little barefoot children to the ■door of the Dorca3 society. They need to be clothed and providod for. Which of these directors of banks would know how many yards it would take to make that little girl a dress? Which of these mascu line hands could fit a hat to that little girl’s head? Which of the wise men would know how to tie on that new pair of shoos? Man sometimes gives his charity in a rough way, and it falls like the fruit of a tree in the east, which fruit come3 down so heavily that it breaks the skull of the man who is trying to gather it. But woman glides so softly into the house of destitution and finds out all the sorrows of the place and puts so quietly the donation on the table that all the family come out on the front steps as she departs, expecting that from under her shawl she will thrust out two wings and go right up toward heaven, from whence she seems to have come down. Can you tell me why a Christian woman, going down among the haufits of iniquity on a Christian errand, never meets with any indignity? I stood in the chapel of Helen Chalmers, the daughter of the cele brated Dr. Chalmers, in the most aban doned part of the city of Edinburg, and I snid to her as I looked around upon the fearful "surroundings! of that place, “Do you come here nights to hold a service?” “Oh, yes!” she said. “Can it be possible that you never meet with an insult while performing this Christian errand?” “Never,” she said, “never.” That young woman who has her father by her side, walking down the street, armed police at each corner, is not so well defended as that Christam woman who goes forth on gospel work into the haunts of iniquity, carrying the Bibles and bread. God with the red richt arm of His wrath omnipo nt would tear to pieces any one who sltocUl offer in dignity to her. He would smtie him with lightnings and drown him with floods and swallow him with earthquakes, and damn him with eternal indignations. Some one said: “I dislike very much to see that Christian woman teaching those bad boys in the mission school. I amjifraid to have her instruct them.” “So,^agiid^u^^i|T teredbyffH ■ *1 ■iW -‘-’■■A r . ■.aHaf ■ ■:" : mat hnnfBHBHHE ■■an i get gets it.

There is no need of wasting your time, and you might submit first as last. You had better rigS away take down your checkbook, minH the number of the check, fill up the blanl3 sign your name and hand it to her. TherS is no need of wasting time. Those poor children o.n the back street have been hungry long enough. That sick man must have some farina. • That consump tive must have something to ease his cough. I meet this delegate of a relief so ciety coming out of the store of such a hard-fisted man, and I say, “Did you get tlie money?” “Of course,” sh# says, “I got the mourn'; that’s what I went in for. The Lord told me to go in and get it, and He never sends me on a fool’s errand.” Again, I have to tell you that it is a Vsvoman’s specific right to comfort under the stress of dire disnste.r. She is called the weaker vessel, but all profane as well as sacred history attests that when the crisis comes she is better prepared than man to meet the emergency. How often you have seen a woman, who seemed to be a disciple of frivolity and indolence, under one stroke of calamity changed to a hero ine. Ob, what a great mistake those busi ness men make who never tell their busi ness troubles to their wives! There comes some great loss to their store or some of their companions in business play them a sad trick, end they carry the burden all alone. He is asked in the household again and again, “What is the matter?” But he believes it a sort of Christian duty to keep all that trouble within bis own soul. Ob, sir, your first duty was to tell your wife all about it! Again, I remark it is woman’s right to bring to us the kingdom of heaven. It is easier for a woman to be a Christian than for a man. Why? You say 9he is weaker. No. Her heart is more responsive to the pleadings of diviue love. She is in vast majority. The fact that she can more eas ily become a Christian I prove by the statement that three-fourths of the mem bers of churches in all Christendom are women. So God appoints them to be the chief agencies for bringing this world back to God. I may stand here and say the soul is immortal. There is a man who will deny it. I may stand here and say we are lost and undone without Christ. There is a man who will contradict it. I may stand here and say there will be a judgment day after awhile. Yonder is some one who will dis pute It. But a Christian woman in a Christian household, living in the faith and the consistency of Christ’s gospel—nobody can refute that. The greatest sermons are not preached on celebrated platforms; they are preached with an audience ,of two or three and in private home life. A consis tent, consecrated Christian service is an unanswerable of God’s truth. • There are prayers for you to offer, there are exhortations for you to give, there are exnmpSfc for you to set, and I say now as Paul sam to the Corinthian woman, “What knowest thou but that thou shalt save thy husband?” A man was dying and he said to his wife, “ltebecca, you wouldn’t let me have family prayers, you laughed about all that and you got me away into worldliness, and now I’m going to die, and my fate is sealed, and you are the cause of my ruin!” O woman, what knowest thou but thou canst destroy thy husband? Are there not some of you who have kind ly influences at home? Are there not some who have wandered far away from God who can remember the Christian influences in their early home? Do not despise those • influences, my brother. If you die without Christ, what will you do with your moth er’s prayers, with your wife’s importunities, with your sister’s entreaties? What will you do with the letters they used to write to you, with the memory of those days when they attended you so kindly in times of sickness? Oh, if there be just one strand holding you from floating off from that dark sea, I would just like to take hold of that strand now and pull you totbebeachl For the sake of your wife’s God, for the sake of your mother’s God, for the sake of vour daughter’s God, for the sake of your sister’s God come this day and be saved. Lastly, I wish to say that one of the specific rights of woman is, through the grace of Christ, finally to reach heaven. Oh, what a multitude of women in heaven! Mary, Christ’s mother, in heaven, Eliza beth Fry in heaven, Charlotte Elizabeth in heaven, the mother of Augustine iu heaven, the Countess of Huntington, who sold her splendid jewels to build chapels, in heaven, while a great many others who have never been heard of on earth or known but little havo gone into the rest and peace of heaveD. What a rest! What a change it was from tho small room, with no fire and one window (the glass broken out), and tho aching side, and wornout eyes, to the “house'of many man sions!” No more stitching until 12 o’clock at night, no more thrusting of the thumb by the employer through the work to show it was not done quite right. Plenty of bread at last! Heaven for aching heads! Heaven for broken hearts! Heaven for anguish bitten frames! No more sitting until midnight for the coming of stagger ing stepsl No more rough blows across the temple! No more sharp, keen, bitter curses. Some of you will have no rest in this world. It will be toil and struggle and suffering all the way up. You will have to stand at your door fighting back the wolf with yoir own hand red with carnage. But God has a crown for you. I want you to realize this morning that He is now making it, and whenever you weep a tear He sets another gem in that crown, whenever you have a pang of body or soul He puts another gem in that crown, until after awhile in all the tiara there will be no room for an other splendor, and God will say to His angel, “The crown is done; let her up that she may wear it.” And as the Lord of righteousness puts the crown upon your brow, angel will cry to angel, “Who is 9he?” and Christ will say: “I will tell you who she is. She is the one that came up out of great tribulation and hud her robe washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb.” And then God will spread a ban quet, and He will invite all the principali ties of heaven to sit at the feast, and the tables will blush with the best clusters from the vineyards of God and crimson with the twelve manner of fruits from the Tree of Life, and waters from the fountains of the rock will flash from the golden tankards, and the old harpers of heaven will sit there, making music with their harps, and Christ will point you out, amid the celebrities of heaven, saying, “She suffered with Me on earth; now we are going to be glorified together.” And the banqueters, no longer able to hold their peace, will break forth with congratula tion, “Hail! hail!” And there will be handwritings on the wall—not such as struck the B’ ylonian noblemen with hor ror, but fire-lipped fingers, writing in blazing capitals of light and love, “God hath wiped away all tears from all faces!” The Free Methodist societies of Christian !

One oflife fleets appeared in his neigli borhoconStmd he sallied out to attack it. The pirates surrounded him, and after a furious engagement, which last ed all day, and with such havoc as nfay be left to the imagination, captured him and whatever fragments of his fleet were still afloat. This disaster was partly avenged the next year, when the Chinese admiral, with a hun dred junks, attacked another fleet fe the same cruising-ground. Great num bers of the pirates were destroyed and some two hundred taken prisoners. Those who are familiar with Chinese methods can easily judge how long the two hundred were kept from joining their bloody comrades in the shades below. In another encounter not far from the same place, before the com batants could close upon one another, it fell dead calm, whereupon crowds of the pirates leaped Into the sea like savages, swam to the enemy with their knives in their teeth, aud attacked them so fiercely that they could not be beaten off, and actually cut out sev era junks from the imperial fleet. The fortunes of war varied. With provok ing Impartiality, and apparently w r ith no ethical preference, victory would perch on the standard of the pirate quite a often as on the banner of the righteous defenders of their country’s commerce. We read of whole fleets engaged, fighting all day and all night, two days, even three days at a time, two or three hundred junks on a side, and a drawn game at the end. No child’s play this. At one time the ad miral is lying quiety at anchor among the islands, when suddenly two hun dred pirate crafe slip around the head land, and pounce upon him with an on set so furious that, in spite of a vigor ous defense, twenty-five of his fleet are gone with their captors before he can get up his anchors and chase them. These encounters were not confined to the sea. There were frequent raids on the villages that lined the harbor and rivers. Wholly Discouraged. “No, ma’am, I don’t like ’em,” said Mr. with emphasis. “I’m free to say these dialect stories makes me tired. Half the words in ’em ain’t in the dictionary.” ‘!But you might cultivate a liking for them,” said his wife’s sister. “It is something like music. You may not have much of an ear for it at first, but if you keep at it you will soon appreciate it.” “Well, maybe I will some day. But I’d rather have something solid. I’d j like to begin on some of my youngest girl's school books and go right through ’em. That’s the sort of read- i ing that I’d enjoy spending time on.” j He picked up one of his daughter’s j books which happened to be lying i near. It was a copy of Virgil, which his daughter had been translating into ; English. He stared solemnly at the j first page of .the Latin epic for awhile i and then slowly turned the leaf. | When his eyes had gotten down to the j middle of the next page he laid the | volume down with a sigh. “It’s no use,” he exclaimed regret fully. “What is of no use?” “My trying to read dialect. And I must say that this thing of teachin’ it in the public schools strikes me as piaguey foolishness.” Washington Star. A New French Coin. The new gold coin which has just been issued from the mint of France is said to be one of the most beautiful ever designed. The face of this coin is the head of the symbolic figure of France, while the reverse shows a very aristocratic-looking rooster with inflated chest. The designs are the re sult of three years’ work on the part ol M.

Mr. Oliver claims he can ral. r 40 to 50 bushels of wheat per acre with favorable seasons. The fertilizer used last season cost $4.00 per acre, and it would no doubt have given double the yield of wheat, f the weather had been favorable. Why raise cotton when you can get more money value from wheat, with less labor and expense, and at the same time have a chance to grow on same land, same season, another crop either of peas, millet or corn. The farmers in the South will be much more inde pendent when they raise all the wheat, corn and hogs and cattle that they con sume, and only half as much cotton ax is now grown. You can grow good wheat, corn ar hay, and gather two crops per yea". You can improve your land and mah it worth double in five years what i! will now sell flor. You can not do by raising cotton alone, you must farm on a broader minded prlnclp'o and use fertilizer freely, and above al’, use the highest grade fertilizer on tlv> market, it is cheaper than the lowest grades, quality considered. m . Elephant’s Flesh as Meat. There appears to be considerable di versity of opinion as to the merits of elephant’s flesh. In India aud Africa it is a favorite dish with the natives, but a European who has traveled much in Africa says: “I have tasted elephant over and over again. It is more like soft leather and glue than anything I can compare it to.” An other traveler, however, declares that lie cannat imagine how an animal so coarse and heavy can produce such delicate and tender flesh. All authori ties, however, agree in commending elephant’s foot. Even the traveler quoted above, who compared elephant’s flesh to leather and glue, admits that “baked elephant’s foot is a dish fit for a king. When an elephant Is shot in Africa the flesh is cut into strips and dried; it is then called “Biltong.” The elephant foot is cut off frdfn the knee point, and a hole about three feet deep is dug in the earth and the sides of it baked hard with burning wood. Most of these faggots are then remov ed and* the elephant’s foot placed in the hole. It is filled up with earth, tightly packed down, and a bazing tire built on top, which Is kept burning for three hours. Thus cooked, the flush is like jelly, aud can be eaten with a spoon. It is the greatest delicacy which can be given to a rvaflir. How the French President Lives.

Loubet take tlieir luncheon at 12 and their dinner at 7 in a small diuing room, the furniture of which is as plain as the menu on the table, though now aud then they have an intimate friend to join them at the formal meal. M. Loubet, however, simple as are his I tastes and fbugal as is his fare, is fully alive to the importance of maintain ing the dignity of his office, and it may he taken for granted that he will, when he returns to Paris from Itambouillet and Montelimar, between which places lie will, if all goes well, spend his well earned summer holiday, put himself into training for the severe social rSities which the president of the re public will have to discharge during the exhibition year.
