MARTHAS AND MAI YS REV. DR. TALMAGE’S SERMON ON HOOSEHOLD CARES- Martha la the Kitehen and Mary la the* Parlor—The Trial, of the Good Houk k.«per-Ho« They May Be Overcome. Homo Influence. fCopyrUht. 1»». & A™*** Washington, Jan. o.—Dr. Talmage's eerinon today goes through home life with the tread qt one who has seen all its de partments and sympathizes with all he sees and has words of cheer for all wives, mothers, daughters and sisters; text, Lukex, 40: “Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Bid her, therefore, that she help me." Yonder Isa beautiful village homestead. The man of the house is dead, and his widow is taking charge of the premises. This is the widow Martha of Bethany. Yes, I will show you also the pet of the household. This is Mary, the younger sis ter, with a book under her arm and her face having no appearance of anxiety or care. Company has come. Christ stands outside the door, and of course there is a good deal of excitement inside the door. The disarranged furniture is hastily put aside, and the hair is brushed back, and the dresses are adjusted as well as, in so short a time, Mary and Martha cun attend to theso matters. They did not keep Christ standing at the door until they were new ly appareled or until they had elaborately arranged their tresses, then coming out with their affected surprise as though they had not heard two or three previous knockings, saying, “Why, is that you?” •No. They-were ladies and were always presentable, although they may not have always had on their best, for none of us al ways has on our best. If we did, our best would not be worth having on. They throw open the door and greet Christ. They say: “Good morning, Master! Come in and bo seated. ” Christ gid not come alone.. He had a group of friends with him, and such an influx of oity visitors would throw any <3ountry homo into per turbation. I suppose also tho walk from the city had been a good appetizer. Tho kitchen department that day Was a very important department, and I suppose that Martha had no sooner greeted the guests than she fled to room. Mary had no worri ment about household affairs. She had full confidence that Martha could getup tho best dinner in Bethany. Sho seems to say, “Now let us have a division of labor. Martha, you cook and I’ll sit down and be good. ” So you have often seen a great difference between two sisters. Mary and Martha. There is Martha, hard working, nains taking, a good manager, over Inventive of some new pastry or discovering some thing in tho art of cookery and house keeping. There is Mary, also fond of con versation, literary, so engaged in deep questions of ethics she has no time to at tend to the questions of household welfare. It is noon. Mary is in the parser with Christ. Martha is in the kitchen. It wohld have been better if they had divided the work* and then they could have di vided the opportunity of listening to Jesus. But Mary monopolizes Christ whllo Mar tha swelters at the fire. It vis a very im portant thing that they shou’d bavo a good dinner that day. Christ wa- hungry, and ho did not often have a luxurious enter tainment Alas me, if the duty had de volved upon Mary, what a repast that would have been! But something went wrong In the kitchen. Perhaps tho fire would not burn, or the bread would not bake, or Martha scalded -her hand, or something was burned black that ought only to have been made brown, and Mar tha lost her patience, and forgetting the proprieties of the occasion, with besweated brow, and, perhaps, with pitcher in one hand and tongs in the other, she rushes out of the kitchen into the presence of Christ, saying, “Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone?” Christ scolded not a word. If it were scolding, I should rather have his scolding than anybody else’s blessing. There was nothing acerb. Ho know Martha had al most worked herself to death to get him something to eat, and so he throws a world of tenderness into his intonation as he seems to say: “My dear woman, do not worry. Let the dinner go. Sit down on this ottoman beside Mary, your youn ger sister. Martha, Martha, thou art care *ful and troubled about many things, but one thing is needful.” As Martha throws open that kitchen door I look in and see a great many household perplexities and anxieties. First there is the trial of nonapprecia tion. That is what- made Martha so mad with Mary. The younger sister had no estimate of her older sister’s fatigues. As now, men bothered with the anxieties of the store and office and shop, or coming from the Stock Exchange, they say when they get home: “Oh, you ought to be in our factory a little while! You ought to have to manage 8 or 10 or 20 subordinates, and then you would know what trouble and anxiety are!” Oh, sir, the wife and the mother has to conduct at the same time a university, a clothing establish ment, a restaurant, a -laundry, a library, while she is health officer, police and pres ident of her realm! She must do a thou sand things, and do them well, in order to keep things going smoothly, and sdSher brain and her nerves are taxed to the ut most. I know there are housekeepers who are so fortunate that they can sit in an armchair in the library or lie on tho be lated pillow and throw off all the care upon subordinates who, having large wages and great experience, can attend to all of the affairs of the household. Those are the exceptions. I am speaking now of the great mass of housekeepers—the women to whom life is a struggle, and who at 86 years of age look as though they were 40, and at 40 look as though they were 50, and at 50 look as though they wore 60. The fallen at Chalons and Austerlitz and Gettysburg and Waterloo are a small number compared with the slain in the great Armageddon of the kitbhen. Yq,u go out to the cemetery and you will see that the tombstones all read beautifully poetic, but if those tombstones would speak the truth, thousands of them Would say: “Here lies a woman killed by too much mending and sewing and bak ing and scrubbing and scouring. The weapqp with which sho was slain was a broom or a sewing machine or a ladlo. ” Housekeeping Cares. You think, O man of the world, that you have all the cares and anxieties. If the cares and anxieties of the household should come upon you for one week, you would be fit for the insane asylum. The half rested housekeeper arises in the morn ing. She must have the morning repast prepared at an irrevocable hour. What if tho fire will not light; what if tho mar keting did not come; wbat if the clock has stopped—no matter, she must have she morning repast at an irrevocable hour. Then the children must be got off to school. What if their garments are torn; wbat if they do not know their lessons; wbat if they have lost a hat or sash—they must be ready. Then you have all tho diet of the day and perhaps of several days, to plan, but what if the butcher has sent meat unmasticablo, or the grocer has sent articles of food adulterated, and what if some piece of silves be gone, or some favorite chalice be cracked, or tho roof leak, or the plumbing fall, or any one of a thousand things occur—you must be ready. Spring weather comes, and there must be a revolution in the family ward robe, or autumn comes, and you must shut out the northern blast, but what if the moth has preceded you to tho chest; what if, during the year, tho children have outgrown tho apparel of last year; what if the fashions have changed 1 Your house must bo an apothecary’s shop; it must boa dispensary; there must bo medicines for all sorts of ailments—some thing to loosen the croup, something to 000 l the burn, something to politico tho Inflammation, something -to silence the jumping tooth, something to soothe tho earache. You must be in half a dozen places at the same time, or you must at tempt to be. If, under all this wear and tear of life, Martha makes an impatient rush upon the library or drawing room, bo pationt, be lenient! O woman, though I may fall to stir up an apprecia tion in tho souls of others in regard to your household tolls, let mo assure you, from the kindliness with which Jesus Christ mot Martha, that ho appreciates all your work from garret to collar, and that tho God of Deborah, and Hannah, and Abigail, and Grandmother Lois, and Eliza beth Fry, and Hannah More is tho God of tho housekeeper! Jesus was never mar ried, that he might be the especial friend and confidant of a whole world of troubled womanhood- I blunder. Christ was mar ried. The Bible says that the church is tho Lamb’s wife, and that makes me know that all Christian women have a'right to go to Christ and tell him of their annoy ances and troubles, since by his oath of conjugal fidelity he is, sworn to sympa thize. George Herbert, the Christian poet, wrote two or three versos on this subject: The servant by this clause Makes drudgery divine. Who sweeps a room, as for thy laws, Makes this and the action fine. A young woman of brilliant education and prosperous circumstances was called down stairs to help in tho kitchen in the absence of the servants. The doorbell ring ing, she went to open it and found a gen tleman friend, who said as he came in: “I thought that I heard music. Was it on this piano or on this harp?” She an swered: “No. I was playing on a grid iron, with frying pan accompaniment. The servants are gone, and I am learning how to do this work. ” Well done! When will women in all circles find out that it is honorable to do anything that ought to be done? Severe Economy, Again, there is tho trial of severe econ omy. Nine hundred and ninety-nine households out of the thousand are sub jected to it, some under more and some under less stress of circumstances. Espe cially if a man smoke very expensive ci gars and take very costly dinners at the restaurants ho will be severe in demanding domestic economies. This is what kills tens of thousands of women—attempting to make 85 do the work of 87. A young woman about to enter the married state said to her mother, “How long does the honeymoon last?” The mother answered, “The honeymoon lasts until you ask your husband for money.” How some men do dole out money to their wivesF “How much do you want?” “A dollar.” “You are always wanting a dollar. Can’t you do with 50 cents?” If the husband has not the money, let him plainly say so. If he has it let him make cheerful response, remembering that his wife has as much right to it as he has. How the bills come in! The woman is the banker of the household. She is the president, tho cash ier, the teller, the discount clbrk, and there is a panic every few weeks. This 30 years’, war against high prices, thia perpetual study of economics, this lifelong attempt to keep the outgoes less than the income, exhausts innumerable housekeepers. Oh, my sister, this is a part of the Di vine discipline! If it wore best for you, all you would have to do would be to open the front windows, and tho ravens would fly in’ with food, and after you had baked 50 times from the barrel in tho pantry tire barrel, like the one of Zarephath, would be full* and the shoes of the children would last as long as tho shoes of the Israelites in the wilderness—4o years. Beside that this is going to make heaven the more attract ive in tho contrast. They never hunger there, and consequently there will bo none of tho nuisances of catering for appetites, and in the land of the white robe they never have to mend anything, and the air in that hill country makes everybody well. There are no rents to pay; every man owns his own house, and a mansion at that. It will not be so great a change for you to have a chariot in heaven if you have been in the habit of riding in this world. It will not be so great a change for you to sit down on tho banks of the river of life if in this world you had a country seat, but if you have walked with tired feet in this world what a glorious change to mount celestial equipage! And, if your life on earth was domestic martyrdom, oh, the joy of an eternity in which you shall have nothing to do except what you choose to do I Martha has had no drudgery for 18 cen turies I I quarrel with the theologians who want to distribute all the thrones of heaven among the John Knoxes and the Hugh Latimers and the Theban legion. Some of the brightest thrones of heaven will bo kept for Christian housekeepers. Oh, what a change from here to there, from the time when they put down the rolling pin to when they take up the scepter! If Chats worth park and the Vanderbilt mansion were to be lifted into the celestial city, they would be considered uninhabitable rookeries, and glorified Lazarus would bo ashamed to bo going in and out of either of them. Sickness and Trouble. There are many housekeepers who could get along with their toil if it were not for sickness and trouble. Tho fact is, one half of the women of the land arc more or less invalids. The mountain lass who has never had an ache or a pain may consider household toll inconsiderable, and toward evening she may skip away miles to the fields and drive homo the cattle, and she may until 10 o’clock at night fill the house with laughing racket. But, ph, to do the work of life with womout constitution, when,whooping cough has been raging for six weeks in the household, making the night as sleepless as the day! That is not ao easy. Perhaps this comes after the nerves have been shattered by some be reavement that has left desolation in every room of tho house and set the crib In the garret because the occupant has been hashed into a slumber which needs no mother's lullaby. Oh, she could provide for tho whole group n great deal better than she can for u part of the group, now the rest are gone! Though you may tell her God is taking care of those who are gone, it is motherlike to brood both flocks, and one wing she puts over the flock in the house; the other wing she puts over the flock in the grave. There is nothing but tho old fashioned religion of Jesus Christ that will take a woman happily through the trials of home life. At first there may be a romance or a novelty that will do for a substitute. The marriage hour has just passed, and the per plexities of the household are more than atoned by tho joy of being together and by the fact that when it is late they do not have to discuss the question as to whether it is time to go. Tho mishaps of toe household, instead of being a matter of anxiety and reprehension, are a matter of merriment—the loaf of bread turned into a geological specimen, the slushy custards, tho jaundiced or measly biscuits. It is a very bright sunlight that falls on the cut lery and the mantel ornaments of a new home. But after awhile tho romance is all gone, and then there is something to be prepared for tho table that tho book called “Cookery Taught In Twelve Lossons” will not teach. ThaVeocipt for making it is not a handful of this, a cup of that and a spoonful of something else. It is not something sweetened with ordinary con diments or flavored with ordinary flavors or baked in ordinary ovens. It is tho loaf of domestic happiness, and all tho in gredients come down from heaven, and the fruits are plucked from the tree of life, and it is sweetened with the new wino of tho kingdom, and it is baked in tho oven of homo trial. Solomon wrote out of his own experience. Ho had a wretched home. A man cannot bo happy with two wives, much less 60(1* and he says, writing out of his own experience, “Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.” ■ Home Influence. How groat are tho responsibilities of housekeepers! Sometimes an indigestible, article of food by its effect upon a king has overthrown an empire. A distin guished statistician says of 1,000 unmar ried men there are 38 criminals, and of 1,000 married men only 18 are criminals. What a suggestion of homo influences! Lot the most bo made of them. House keepers by the food they provide, by the couches they spread, by the books they in troduce, by the influences they bring around their home, are deciding the phys ical, intellectual, moral, eternal destiny of the race. You say your life is one of sacrifice. I know it. But, my sisters, that is tho only life worth living. That was Florence Nightingale’s lifo; that was Payson’s life; that was Christ’s lifo. Wo admire it in others, but how very hard it is for us to exercise it ourselves! When in Brooklyn young Dr. Hutchinson hav ing spent a whole night in a diphtheritic room for the relief of a patient became saturated with the poison and died, we all felt as if we would like to put garlands on his grave; everybody appreciates that. When in tho burning hotel at St Louis a young man on tho fifth story broke open the door of the room where his mother was sleeping and plunged in amid smoko and fire, crying, “Mother, where are you?” and never came out, our hearts applauded that young man. But how few of us have the Christlike spirit—a willingness to suffer for others. A rough teacher tn a school called upon a poor, half starved, lad who had offended against the laws of the school and said, “Takeoff your coat directly, sir!” Tho boy refused to take it off, whereupon the teacher said again, “Take off your coat, sir!” as he swung the whip through the air. The boy refused. It was not because he was afraid of the lash—he was used to that at home—but it was from shame— he had no undergarment—and as at the third command he -pulled slowly off his coat there went a seb through the school. They saw then why he did not want to re move his coat, and they saw the shoulder blades had almost cut through the skin, and a stout, healthy boy,rose up and went to tho teacher of the school and said: "Oh, sir, please don’t hurt this poor fellow! Whip me. See, he’s nothing but a poor chap. Don’t hurt him. He’s poor. Whip me.” “Well,” said the teacher, “it’sgo ing to boa severe whipping. lam willing to take you as a substitute.” “Well,” said the boy, “I don’t care. You whip me, if you will let this poor fellow go.” The stout, healthy boy took the scourging with out an outcry. “Bravo!” says every man. “Bravo!” How many of usaro willing to take the scourging, and the suffering, and the toil, and the anxiety for other people? Beautiful things to admire, but how little we have of that spirit! God give us that self denying spirit, so that whether we are in humble spheres or in conspicuous spheres we may perform our whole duty, for this struggle will soon be over. The Christian Housekeeper. One of the most affecting reminiscences of my mother is my remembrance of her as a Christian housekeeper. She worked very hard, and when we would come in from summer play and sit down at the table at noon I remember how she used to come in with beads of perspiration along the line of gray hair, and how sometimes she would sit down at the tabla and put her head against her wrinkled hand and say, “ Well, tho fact is, I’m too tired to eat. ” Long after she might have delegat ed this duty to others, sho would not be satisfied unless she attended to the matter herself. In fact, wo all preferred to have her do so, for somehow things tasted bet ter when she prepared them. Some timo ago in an express train I shot past that old homestead. I looked out of the win dow and tried to peer through the dark ness. While I was doing so one of my old schoolmates, whom I had not seen for many years, tapped me on tho shoulder and said, “De Witt, I see you are looking out at the scenes of your boyhood.” “Oh yes,” I replied, “I was looking out at tin old place where my mother lived and died.” That night in the cars the who) scene came back to me. There was t !>■ country home. There was tho noom: table. There were the children on either side of the table, most of them gone nev.tr to come back. At ono end of the table, my father, with a smile that never left his countenance even when he lay in his coffi n It was an 84 years’ smile—not the smile of inanition, but of Christian courage and of Christian hope. At the other end of tho table was a beautiful, benignant, hard working, aged Christian housekeeper, my mother. She was very tired. I am glad she has so good a place to rest in. “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. They rest from their labors, and their works do follow them.” ' No Sunday Labor In Knoll Under a new imperial ukase in Btusia labor upon Sundays or on the 14 gr&t feast days of tho Greek calendar is to bo severely punished. Hours of labor are rc stricted to 8 for children and 11 for adults, and to 10 hours on Saturday. - • . . *.• -- .. • y- ray «■ MEASURING OF VELOCITY. PhokjnphlhS In the One Hundred Thou sand-h Fart of a Second. Tho new \ thotoehronograph, designed for the Unite I States government to test the velocity of cannon balls, has been completed by Professor Jahn A. Brashear at his Alleghany workshops. George Squire, lieutenant of artillery at Fortress Monroe, has gone to Pittsburg to inspect the now apparatus. The now machine is the second ono made for tho government • by Professor Brashcar and has many val uable improvements over the first one, al though the main principles have not been changed. Lieutenant, Squire and Dr. Crehore, opo of the inventors, have severe ly tested tho wonderful apparatus, and it has met all tho expectations of the govern ment experts. It is very simple, but is possessed of great accuracy. In the present Instrument but one sin gle lever is used to fire the gun, to start the tuning fork to vibrate, to open the main shutter and also to release tho elec tric connections which throw the beam of light on the photographic plate. That is, as soon as tho lever is pulled the cannon is fired to strike a wire at any point desired. This opens, the way to tho photographic plate, which is rotating 1,500 revolutions per minute. A streak is made on the pho tographic plate, the length of which is de termined by tho rapidity with which the ball is moving, as also tho point at which the ball cuts the second wire, where it in sb ntly strikes off tho beam of light. As this distance can be readily measured the question is to determine how long the ball is between the two wires. Before the cannon ball strikes tho first wire in front of the cannon a tuning fork is set in vi bration and through a delicate opening in a small diaphragm on one of the prongs of the tuning fork' a powerful beam of light is sent on to the photographic plate. The vibrations of the tuning fork are known exactly and as this makes a sinu ous stream of light alongside of the streak produced by the moving cannon ball it is only a question of measuring the vibra tion of the tuning fork covered by this streak, as also tho fractions of a vibration. In measuring the fractions of the vibra tions of a tuning fork is where tho most delicate work comes in. After tho photographic plate is devel oped it is placed under a divided circle and the relations of the two photographic streaks are measured with a micrometer. So exact has this method been found that the movement of a ball two or three inch es can readily be timed. Hereafter measurements of such short intervals have been impossible, for tho ’reason that no photographic shutter that had weight could be moved in such a brief space of time, and in this point lies the beauty of the new invention. Instead of moving something that has mass the light from an electric are impinges on two Nicols prisms which lie at right angles to one another. In this position it is impos sible for light to pass through at all, and it was Dr. Crehore who discovered that if a powerful current of electricity be passed through a coil placed between these Nicols prisms the light itself can be rotated with out rotating the prisms. It can be readily seen that the electricity acts as a shutter, and os an electric current has no weight it can be moved in an incredibly short space of time. And even with the lag that accompanies all motion any view last ing over tho hundred-thousandth part of a second can be photographed. The instrument made last year proved so Valuable at Fortress Monroe that the new machine was ordered for the Sandy Hook testing ground. Not only can tho velocity of cannon balls bo determined be tween any two points outside the cannon’s mouth, but it can be measured within the cannon. Formerly any attempts in this direction were rather unsuccessful, and tho way it was done was quite destructive to the gun, as a foot at a time was cut off from the end so as to determine the mo tion at each point. It is only necessary now to place a stout wooden ramrod against the ball, place copper rings around the ramrod and make connection with these rings by electric brushes at the muz zle of the gun.—Pittsburg Dispatch. An Elephant’s Practical Joke. In 1870 a near relative of mine was head of tho Indian military police, and his winter circuit comprised the Looshai country and hill tracts. Herds of wild elephants abounded in the district, which contained two Important kheddahs. The greater part of our tour was made by wa ter, and once we were detained several days in the bed of a river, through the in sufficiency of water for the draft of ouf boats. Some of them lay high and dry, but the office boat, which consisted of a single cabin, With large doqrs fore and aft, was in the stream. My friend sat in this cabin, absorbed in official correspond ence, while we explored the shores. Sud denly looking up, he was dismayed to find/ a herd of about 40 wild elephants, headed by a vicious looking leader, gazing steadi ly at the boat and its solitary occupant. Stqut soldier as he was, he watched the leamar with considerable trepidation, for on his action depended that to be adopted by the herd. To his immense relief, after a trumpet or two, the leader turned dis dainfully and crossed tho stream? He breathed a sigh of relief and had forgotten his lucky escape In the absorption of work when, swish! through the cabin came dash after dash of water. On the opposite side stood tho leader and his herd, with well filled trunks. One after tho other administered the shower bath and then retreated, leaving my friend thoroughly ducked and very rueful over the damp condition of his government papers and surroundings, but thankful for his escape from a worse fate than a wetting.—Marie A. Millie in St. Nicholas. Sent to Jail For Eating Meat on Friday. Police Magistrate Ifenohue surprised the loungers about police court this morn ing when he sent John Burns, a Catholic, to jail for eating meat on Friday. Early this morning Burns went into a restau rant on Ferry street and ordered beef steak. Burns got into an altercation with Stephen Johnson, a negro waiter, and both were arrested. When arraigned before the magistrate, the men told different stories. “Burns,” said'the magistrate sharply, “what church do you go to?” “This ain’t no place to talk religion,” replied Burns. ♦ “Never mind about that. What church do you go to?” “Aw, well, I go to St. Francis.” “I thought so. Burns, I’ll send you to Jail for eating meat on Friday. Johnson, you’re discharged. ” Burns will have to stay in jail until next Tuesday.—Troy Dispatch in New York Sun. « , A Cynical View. “Uncle Dick, what’s > banquet?” “Well, it is when a lot of men are pleased with another man, and they all go and get something good to cat.”—Detroit Free Fhß. ftvMvnmmah 9 -.
