. m y toxt tiie hornet flies out on its mis
sion. It Is a species of wasp, swift in its
motion and Violent in its sting. Its touch
is torture to man or beast. We have all
seen the cattle run bellowing under the out
of its lancet In boyhood we used to stand
cautiously looking at the globular nest
hung from the tree branch, and while we
were looking at the Wonderful covering we
were struck with something that sent us
shrieking away. The hornet goes in
swarms. It has captains over hundreds
and twenty of them alighting on one man
will produce certain death.
Mj ’ f /'lends, when we are assaulted bv
great behemoths of trouble we become
cmvalnc, and we assault them. We tret on
the high mettled steed of our couragl and
we make a cavalry chaige at them, ai'id if
God be with us we oome out stronger and
better than when we went in. But alas for
these insectile annoyances of life these
foes too small to shoot, these things with
out any avoirdupois weight, the guats and
..he midges and the flies and the wasps and
the hornets! In other words, it is the
small, stinging annoyances of our life
which drive us out anil use us up. In the
conditioned life for some grand and
glorious purpose God - has sent the hornet
1 , in the first place, that these
small, stinging annoyances may come in
the shape of a nervous organization. Peo
ple who are prostrated under typhoid
fevers or with broken bones get plenty of
sympathy, but who pities anybody that is
nervous? The doctors say and the family
say and everybody says, -Oh, she’s only a
little nervous; that’s alii” The sound of a
heavy foot, the harsh clearing of a throat,
a discord in music, a want of harmony be
tween the shawl and the glove on the same
person, a onrt answer, a passing slight, the
wind from the east, any one of ten thou
sand annoyances, opens the door for the
hornet. The fact is that the vast majority
■of the people in this country are over
worked, and their nerves are the first to
give out. A great multitude-are under the
strain of Leyden, who, when he was told
by his physician that if he did not stop
working while he was in such poor physi
cal health he would die, responded, “Doc
tor, whether I live or die, the wheel must
keep going round.” Those sensitive per
sons of whom I speak have a bleeding sen
sitiveness. The flies love to light on any
thing raw; aud these people are like the
Canaanites spoken of in tha text or in the
oontext—they have a very thin covering
and ura vulnerable at all points. “And the
Lord sent the hornet.”
Again, the small insect annoyances may
come to us In the shape of friends and ac
quaintances who are always saying dis
agreeable things. There are some people
you cannot be. with lor half an hour but
you feel cheered and comfprted. Then
there uro other people you cannot be with
lor live minutes before you feel miserable.
They do not mean to disturb you, but they
sting you to the bone. They gather up all
the yarn which the gossips spin and retail
It. They gather up all the adverse criti
cisms about your person, about your busi
ness, about your home, about your church,
and they make your ear the funnel Into
which they pour it. They laugh heartily
when they toll you, as though it were a
good joke, and you laugh, too—outside.
The small insect annoyances of life
sometimes come In the shape of local
physical trouble which does not amount
to a positive prostration, but which
bothers you when you want to feel the
best Perhaps It Is a sick headache which
has been the plague of your Hie, and you
appoint some occasion of mirth or sociality
or usefulness, and when the clock strikes
the hour you cannot make your appear
ance. Perhaps the trouble is Detween the
ear and the forehead In the shape of
a neuralgic twinge. Nobody can see it or
sympathize with it, but just at the time
when you want your intellect clearest and
your disposition brightest you fuel a sharp,
keen, disconcerting thrust. “The Lord
sent the hornet."
Perhaps these small insect annoyances
will come in the shape of a domestic irri
tation. The parlor and the kitchen do not
always harmonize.' To get good service
and keep it is one-of the great questions of
the country. Sometimes it may be the ar
rogance and inconsiderateness of employ
ers; but, whatever bo {he fact, wo all ad
mit there are these Insect annoyances
winging tbefr way out from the cullDnry
department. If the graoe of God be not in
the‘heart of the housekeeper, she oanuot
maintain her equilibrium. The men come
heme at night and hear the story of these
annoyances and eay, “Oh, these home
troubles are very little things!" They are
small, small as wasps, but they sting.
Martha’s nerves were all unstrung when
she rushed in asking Christ to scold
Alary, and there are tens of thousands of
women who are dying, stung to death by
these' pestiferous domestic annoyances.
“The Lord sent the hornet.”
These small Insect disturbances may also
come in the shape of business irritations.
There are men here who went through the
24th of September, 18G9, and the panics of
1878 and of 1893 without losing their
balance who are every day unhorsed by lit
tle annoyances —a clerk’s 111 manners, or a
blot of ink on a bill of lading, or the ex
travagance of a partner who overdraws his
account or the underselling by a|jjbusiness
rival, or the whispering of store confi
dences in the street, or the making of some
little bad debt which was against your judg
ment, but you wanted to please somebody
It is not the puulcs that kill the mer
chants. Panics come only once in ten or
twenty years*. It is the constant din of
these everydtfy annoyances which is send
ing so many of our best merchants into
nervous dyspepsia and paralysis and the
grave. When our national commerce fell
flat on its face, these men stood up and felt
almost defiant, but their life is going away
How ander the swarm of these pestiferous
annoyances. “The Lord sent the hornet.' 1
The naturalist tells us that a wasp some
times has a family of 20,00 Q wasps, and it
does seem as if every annoyance of your
life brooded a million. By the help of God,
to-day I want to show you the otner side.
The hornet is of no use? Oh, yes! The
naturalist tells us they are very important
in the world’s economy. They kill spiders,
and they clear the atmosphere. And I
really believe God sends the annoyances
f our life upon us to kill the spiders of
the soul and to clear the atmosphere of
our skies.
These annoyances are sent 0nu3,1 think,
to wake us up from our lethargy. There
is nothing that makes a man so lively as a
neet of “yellow jaokets,” and I think that
these annoyances are intended to persuade
us of the faet that this is not a world for
ns- to stop in. If we had a bed ef every
thing that was attractive and soft and
Oasy, what would we want of heaven? We
think that the hollow tree sends the hor
net, or we may think that tbe devil sends
the hornet. I want to oorreet your opinion.
"The Lord sent the hornet.”
Then I think these annoyances come on
us to cultivate our patience. In the gym
nasium you And upright parallel bars
with holes ove? each other for pegs to be
put in. Then the gymnast take a peg In
each hand, and he begins to climb, one
inch at a time or two inches, and getting
his strength cultivated, reaches alter

vast majority of people the thing
piecemeal. Which way wwiWvou rather
have it? Of course, in Better
have live aching teeth broken
jaw, better ten fly bisters than an ampu
tation, better twenty squalls than one
cyclone. There may be a difference of
opinion as to allopathy and homoe
puthy, but in this manner of trouble
I like homeopathic doses, small pellets
of annoyance rather than some knock
down dose of calamity. Instead of
the thunderbolt give us the hornet. If
you have a bank, you would a great deal
rather that fifty men would come in with
checks less than 6100 than to have two de
positors come in the same day, each want
ing his .’silo,ooo. t ln this latter case you
cough aud look down to the floor and you
look up to the ceiling before you look into
the safe. Now, my friends, would you not
rather have these small drafts of annoy
ance on your bank of faith than some all
staggering demand upon your endurauoe?
But remember that little as well as great
annoyances equally require you to trust in
Christ for succor and for deliverance from
impatience and irritability. “Thou wilt
keep him in perfect peace whose mind is
staid on Thee.”
I go into a sculptor’s studio and see him
shaping a statue. He has a chisel in one
han.d and a mallet In the other, and he
gives a very gentle stroke—cl'ok, click,
click! I say, “Why don’t youst'tke hard
er?” “Oh,” he replies, “that would shat
ter the statue. I can’t do It that way. I
must do it this way.” So he works on, and
after awhile the features come out, and
everybody that enters the studio is
charmed and fastinated. Well, God has
your soul under process of development,
and it is the little annoyances and vexa
tions of life that are chiseling out your
immortal nature. It is click, click, click!
I wonder why some great providence d033
not come and with one stroke prepare you
for heaven. Ah, no! God says that is not
the way, and so He keeps on by strokes of
little vexatious until at last you shall be a
glad spectacle for angels and for men.
You know that a large fortune mny be
spent in small change, and a vast amount
-of moral character may go away in small
depletions. It is the little trpubles of life
that are having more effect npon you than
great ones. A swarm of locusts will kill a
grain-field sooner than the incursion of
three or four cattle. You say, “Since I lost
my child, since I lost my property, I have
been a different man.” But you do not rec
ognize the architecture of little annoy
ances that are hewing, digging, cutting,
shaping, splitting and intorjoining your
moral qualities. Rats may sink a ship. One
lneifer match may send destruction through
a tdook of storehouses. Catherine de’ Me
dici got her death from smelling a poison
ous rose. Columbus, by stopping and ask
ing tor a piece of bread and a drink of
water at a Franciscan convent, was led to
the discovery of anew world. And there
is an intimate connection between trifles
and immensities, between nothings and
every things.
Now, be careful to let none of those an
noyances go through your soul unar
raigned. Compel them to administer to
your spirtitual wealth. The scratch of a
sixpenny nail sometimes produces lock
jaw, and the clip of a most infinitesimal
annoyance may damage you forever. Do
not let any annoyance or perplexity come
across your soul without its making you
.better.
A returned missionary told me that a
company of adventurers rowing up the
Ganges, were stung to death by’ afe3
that infest that region at certain sea
sons. The earth has been strewed with
the carcasses of men slain by iusect
annoyances. The only way to get pre
pared for the great trouble of life.ls to
conquer these small troubles. Wnat
would you say of a soldier who refused
to load his guu or to go into tho eoniltot
because it was only a skirmish, saying:
“I am not going to expend my ammuni
tion on a skirmish. Wait until there
comes a general engagement and then
you will see how courageous I am and what
battling I will do?” The general would say
to such a man, “If you are not faithful In a
skirmish, you would bo nothing in a gen
eral engagement.” Ana I have to tell you,
0 Christian men, if you cannot apply the
principles of Christ’s religion on a small
scale you will never be able to apply them
on a large scale. If I had my way with
you, I would have you possess all pos
sible worldly prosperity. I would have
you each one a garden, a river flowing
through it, geraniums and shrubs on
the sides und the grass uud flowers as
beautiful as though the rainbow had
fallen. I would nave you a house, a
splendid mansion, and the beds should be
covered with upholstery dipped in tho set
ting sun. I would have every hall in your
house set with statues and statuettes, and
then I w’oiJld have the four quarters of the
globe pour in all their luxuries on your
table, and you should nave forks of silver
and knives of gold, inlaid with diamonds
and amethysts. Then you snould each one
of you have the ilnost horses and your pick
of the equipages of the world. Tnen I
would have you live 150 years, and you
should not have u pain or an ache until the
last breath
“ Not each one of us?” you sny. Yes,
each one of you. “Not to your enemies?”
Yes. The only difference I would make
with them would be that I would put a
little extra gilt on their walls and a little
extra embroidery on their slippers. But,
you say, “Why does not God give us all
these things?” Ah! I bethink myself. He
Is wiser. It would make fools and sluggards
of us if we had our way. No man puts his
best picture in the portico or vestibule of
his bouse. God meant this world to be
only the vestibule of heaven, that great
gallery of the universe toward which we
are aspiring. We must not have it too
good in this world or we would want no
heaven.
Polyoarp was condemned to bo burned to
death. The stake was planted. He was
fustened to it. The fagots wore placed
around him, the fires kindled, but history
tells us that the flames bent outward like
the canvas of a ship in a stout breeze, so
that the flames, instead of destroying
Polyearp, were only a wall between him
and hl3 enemies. They had actually to de
stroy him with the poniard. The flames
would not touch him. Well, my hearer,
I want yon to understand that by God’s
grace the flames of trial, instead of con
suming your soul, are only going to be a
wall of defense and a canopy of blessing.
God Is going to fulfill to you the blessings
and the promises, as He did to Polyearp.
“When thou walkest through the Are, thou
shalt not be burned.” Now you do not un
derstand, but you shall know hereafter. In
heaven you will bless God even for the
hornet.

A REMARK A RLE SHIP.
The Ice-Breaker Yertnnk May Crush Its Way
to the Rule.
The Russian lee breaker Yermak, the
largest \ es’sel <>/ its kind in the world,
has just retunia o the Tyne, where
she was built, afWr a very euoeeseful
voyage to the Polar Sea. She was
built to break the lee of the Baltic and
Ihe Kara sea, so ns to give
'.o the Russian ports and rivers at times
when they have hitherto been closed
by winter. Last March the Yermak
entered the frozen up port of Cron
stadt with comparative ease, aud then
going to Revel, liberated thirty-three
vessels of the value $27,500,000, and
some of which were In great danger.
Then returning to Cronstadt and St.
Petersburg she opened out the way
foQ’the entry of forty steamers several
weeks before the ordinary time. This
work proved the commercial value of
the Yermak, but all the same it was
deemed wise to subject her to more se
vere tests. Accordingly her command
er, Vice Admiral Makaroff, of the Im
perial Russian navy, took her to the
Polar sea some six weeks ago, calling
at Advent Bay, Spitsbergen, en route.
Polar lee was encountered In latitude
B 0 degrees, 15 minutes, and for a
month the Yermak was put to very
stiff trial among this. Some of the
plain Ice was fourteen feet thick, and
the pack or ridge ice rose to a height
of eighteen feet on the surface, and
was ascertained by careful measure
ment to be as deep as seven fathoms*
In places. The Yermak behaved splen
didly, and traveled through some 230
miles of such obstacles at an average
speed of three to four knots per bour.
Her commander expresses himself as
highly satisfied with the performance,
though he has discovered that the ves
sel may be strengthened with advan
tage in certain parts. The work she
will have to do on the Russian coast
will not be nearly so severe. Admiral
Makaroff says, for In the Baltic the ice
seldom becomes more than throe feet
thick, and toward the months of the
Siberian rivers It Is not likely to ex
ceed five feet six niches. The result of
the Polar trip strengthens Admiral
Makaroff In hl*j conviction .that future
Arctic explodation. If It is to be thor
oughly successful, must be conducted,
or, at any rate, initiated by ice break
ers.

The Cost of a Loaf of Bread,
An interesting contribution to a
series of publications being Issued by
the Department of Agriculture em
bracing Invocations into the food
and nutrition of man, has been made
by Professor Harry Snyder, of the
Minnesota Agricultural College. The
paper contributed by Professor Snyder
relates to experiments made at the
Minnesota University in bread-making.
The average “pound loaf” of fresh
bread as sold by bakers, says the Pro
fessor, weighed on an average about
one pound one ounce. A pound loaf of
bread can be made from about three
quarters of a pound of flour, about 25
per cent, of water being added to the
flour during the process of bread-mak
ing. With some flours 5 to 10 per cent,
more water can be absorbed, making a
greater weight of bread from a given
weight of flour. This additional
weight is water and not nutrients.
At two cents a pound for flour, It is
estimated by Rrofessor Snyder that a
pound loaf of bread can be made, not
counting fuel ap<yabor, for about two
cents, a half cent being allowed for
yeast. The loss of dry
mattN|oßTOd-mßklng Is usually con
sidered as amounting to about 2 per
cent, of the flour used. Iu exceptional
cases, as in prolonged fermentation,
under favorable conditions the losses
may amount to 8 per oe-nt. or more.—

BULLDOG THAT DIVES.
Tho Aalmnl Can Slay tinder Water
a Minute and a Half.
A bulldog owned by Meek Wende of
Wende Station, Erie County, has de
veloped a trait which, dog-f&uclers say,
ls\t very rare one. The animal will
dire to the bottom of pools ten feet
deep. He will do so at his owner’s bid
ding and will do so of his own accord
If his owner does not see fit to encour
age the trick.
Tbe dog Is about two years old and
has been a diver for a year. Dnllko
most btijldoga he took to tbs: water
when he was very young and regularly
out-swam a spaniel belonging to Mr.
Wende. A year ago this July a email
boy at Wende Station was drowned in
a swimming hole be*ieath a railway
bridge. The water at that point ranges
*n depth from 10 to 23 feet and the
area of the deep water was about 50
acpiare yards. Grappling hooks were
used In vain by the tnen who endeavor
ed to find the body. Y.oung men began
to d've and Meek Wende and his bull
dog sat and watched the proceedings.
Direr after diver came up empty-hand
ed and tho bulldog manifested much
restlessness. At length, when Its owner
was not looking, tbe dog jumped Into
the stream, swam around a few min
utes and, to the surprise of one,
disappeared beneath the surface. M
was the do£’s first dive. In about thir
ty seconds the dog came to the surface,
shook himself, breathed a few times
and again. Seven or eight
times The dog weat under and when he
came up the last time be had tbe body
of the boy.
Dick, which Is the dog's name, has
been a diver ever since that time. So
far as his ewner knows, be has never
gone down more than ten feet, but he
tan make that depth with ease. Mr.
Wende has only to drop a stone or a
knife or a watch into the creek back ef
the house, and tbe dog will go after It.
Dick fnano*uivers differently than does
a man. He swims out a few strokes
and then gradually lets hla body sink,
paddling as be descends, so that he
will go down at an angle. When tbe
water has been dear, Mr. Wende has
esen Dick walking around on tbe bot
tom, nosing In the mnd or graveL At
first a half minute was the limit of the
animal's endurance under water but
mow he ofton remains beneath tbe sur
face as long as a minute and a half.—
