Discourse.
lubject: Good or Evil Itetnrns to Kins or

of Many Years, Kut Conic Back to Us
They Will.
[Copyright, 1WI.J
Washington, D. C.—In this discourse
Dr. Talmage shows that the good or evil
we do returns to bless or blast us; text,
Isaiah xi, 22, “It is He that sitteth upon
the circle of the earth.”
While yet flat people and thousands thought that the
world was of years be

geometry is the circle. God made the uni
verse on a plan in the of the natural circle.
There are world straight
lines, quadrangles, angles, but parallelograms, these evidently diagonals,

God’s favorites. Almost everywhere

then the curve, which is a circle that died
young. If it had lived long enough it
would have been a full orb, a periphery.
An ellipse is a circle pressed only a little
too hard at the sides.

God thinks of mathematics. There are
over 35,000 columns of rocks—octagonal,
hexagonal, pentagonal. made rule These rocks seem
to have been by and compass.
Every artist lias his molding room where
he may make fifty shapes, but he chooses
one shape as preferable that the Giant’s to all others. I
will not say causeway
was the world’s molding room, but I do
say out of a great many figures God seems
to have selected the circle as the best.
“It is He that sitteth on the circle of the
earth.” The stars in a circle, the moon
in a circle, the sun in a circle, of God the universe
in a circle and the throne the cen
tre of that circle.
Appreciation of this would correct the
architecture of churches, whose shape is
•often a defiance of divine suggestion.
When men build churches they ought to
imitate the idea of the Great Architect
and put the audience in a circle, knowing
that the tides of emotion straight roll more easily
that way than in lines. Six thou
sand years ago God flung this world out of
His right hand. But He did not throw it
out in a straight line, holding but in curvilinear,
with a leash of love it so as to
bring it back again. The world started
from His hand pure and Edenic. It has
been rolling on through regions of moral
ice and distemper. How long it will roll
God only knows, but it will in due time
make complete circuit and come back to
the place where it started—the hand of
God—pure and Edenic.
The history of the world goes in a cir
cle. Why is it that rapidly? the shipping A scientific in our
day shipbuilder is improving so it is because
says men are
imitating in some respects what the small
wits deride, the old model of Noah’s ark,
not as we see it in old time pictures, but
as it really was according to the account
given. Great ships have we now, but
where is the ship on the sea to-day that
could outride a deluge in which the heaven
and the earth were wrecked, landing all
the passengers in safety, two of each kind
of living creatures, hundreds of thousands
of species ?

it was made, having outlasted the brick
and the stone. I say, after hundreds of
years masonry may advance to that point.

States Military Force.
In the month of June, 1775 , the Conti
nental Congress in session at Philadel
phia passed three important resolutions.
The first adopted took over as a
continental army the force of New En
gland troops which, under the lead of
Massachusetts, had assembled at Boston,
soon after the battles of Lexington and
Concord; the second appointed George
Washington "General and Conimander
in-Chief of all the continental forces,
raised or to be raised, for the defense
of American liberty;” the third adopted
“Rules and regulations for the govern
ment of the army”—the articles of war.
which, modified and amended from time
to time, still govern the army and form
the basis of the military law.
This was the origin of the American
army. In the intervening 126 years near
ly 5 , 000,000 men have worn its uniform:
it has conducted with success five great
wars, covering a period of seventeen
years, and numerous minor campaigns
against hostile Indians and Filipino in
surgents; it has been the chief instru
ment in restoring order and inaugurating
civil government after the war with
Mexico, the Civil War and the war with
Spain; from its ranks have come eleven
of the twenty-four Presidents of the
United States and many hundreds of
men occupying the highest civil office;,
Governors of States, Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress, Cabinet Min
isters, Ambassadors and Judges of the
most important courts. For a people
who have never sought war and have
only resorted to it when reluctantly forc
ed to do so, the army has filled a large
place in our history. It has always been
the subordinate and loyal instrument of
the civil power. In spite of this it has
ever been regarded with a certain jeal
ousy and suspicion, born of other times
and conditions and surviving with ex
traordinary tenacity for generations after
those conditions have ceased to exist.
Its deeds, its history, its traditions and
ideals, the spirit which animates it, the
manner in which it has been organized
and maintained and its relations to the
people whose faithful servant it is and
always has been, are worthy of thought
ful study.—Gen. Francis V. Greene, in
Scribner’s.

French Snail Cardens
As is well known, certain species of
snail form a favorite dish with French
gourmets, and the cultivation of these
land mollusca is conducted on a large
scale in the outlying suburbs of Paris,
particularly in the Department of Aube,
where there are large snail gardens,
with plantations of thyme, mint, pars
ley and chervil for the animals to feed
on. When a Frenchman takes snails
wild he leaves them, if prudent, a few
days to digest their last meal, for there
is a current belief that they may be
dangerous if they have recently fed on
poisonous plants.—London Morning

With many millions of families Syrup of Figs has become the i
ideal home laxative. The combination is a simple and wholesome
one, and the method of manufacture by the California Fig Syrup
Company ensures that perfect purity and uniformity of product,
which have commended it to the favorable consideration of the,
most eminent physicians and to the intelligent appreciation of all
who are well informed in reference to medicinal agents.
Syrup of Figs has truly a laxative effect and acts gently with
out in any way disturbing the natural functions and with perfect
freedom from any unpleasant after effects.
In the process of manufacturing, figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste, but the medicinally laxative principles of the
combination are obtained from plants known to act most bene
ficially on the system.
