The ornithology of tho Bible Is a very in-
terasting study—the stork which lcnoweth
her appointed time; the common sparrows
teaching the lesson of God’s providence;
the ostriches of the desert, by careless in-
eubation, Illustrating the reoklessness of
parents who do not take enough pains with
their children; the eagle symbolizing
riches which take wings and fly away; the
pelican emblemizing solitude; the bat, the a
flake of the darkness; the night hawk,
ossifrage, the cuckoo, the lapwing, the os-

of them this morning, like the songs of

which are clothing and conveyance at the

the three eyelids to each eye, the third

God for quail’s whistle, and lark’s carol,

Sentimentalists sit in a cushioned chair

this world is a great scene of avarico and
greed. It does not seem so to me. If it
were not for the absolute necessities of tho
cases, nine-tenths of the stores, factories
shops, banking houses of the land would be
closed to-morrow. Who is that man delv¬
ing in the Colorado hills, or toiling in a
New England factory, or going through a
roll of bills in tho bank, or measuring a
fabric on the counter? He is a champion
sent forth in behalf of some homo circle
that has to bo cared for, in behalf of some
church of God that lias to be supported, in
behalf of some asylum of mercy that has to
be sustained. Who is that woman bending-
over the sewing machine, or carrying the

the garment, or sweltering at the washtub?

Notice, in the these first winded place in the story of
my text, that caterers came
to Elijah direct from God.
“I have commanded the ravens that they
feed thee,” we find God saying in an ad-
inning passage. They did not come out of
some other cave. They did not just hap-
pon to allght there. God freighted them,
God launched them and God told them by
w hat cftV e to swoop. That is the same God
that is going to supply you. He is your
Eathor. You would have to make an olab-
orate calculation before you oould toil mo
now yards many pounds of food and how many
of clothing would be necessary for
you and your family, but God knows with-
out any calculation. You have a plate at
his table, and you are going to be waited
on, unless you act like a naughty child and
kick and scramble and pound saucily the
plate and try to upset things,
God lias a vast family, and everything is
methodized, and you are going to bo served
if you will only wait your turn. God has
already ordered all the suits of clothes you
will over need, down to the last suit in
which you will be laid out. God has already
ordered all the food you will ever eat, down
to the last crumb that will bo put in your

his own judgment as to what ought to be

the family. The ehild would say, “Give me
sugars and confections.” “Oh, no!” says
the parent. “You must have something
plainer first.” The child would say, “Oh,
give me these great blotches of color in the
garmentl” “No,” says the parent; “that
wouldn’t be suitable.”
Now, God is our Father, and we are min-
ors, and He is going to elottie us and feed
us, although He may not always yield to
our infantile wish for the sweet and glitter,

rocks. His banks never fail. He has tho

ravens reaching from His gate to yours un¬

Notiee again in this story of the text that
the ravens did not allow Elijah to hoard up
a surplus. They did not bring enough on
Monday bring do last all the week. They did not

next morning. They came twice a day and
brought just enough for one time, You
known as well as I that the great fret of the
world is^that we want a surplus, we want
the ravens to bring enough for fifty years.

incident. Some back
there was a great drought in Connecticut
New England. Tho water disappeared from
tho hills, and the farmers living on the hills
drove their cattle dcx>n toward the vallevs
and had them supplied at the wells and
fountains of the neighbors. But these after
awhile began to fail, and the neighbors said
to Mr. Birdseye, of whom I shall speak:
“You must not send your flocks and herds
down here any more. Our wells are giving
out.” Mr. Birdseye, the old Christian man,
gathered his family at the altar, and with
his family he gathered the slaves of the
household—for bondage was then in vogue
in Connecticut—and On their knees before
God they cried for water, and the family
story is that there was weeping and great
sobbing at that altar that the family might
not perish for lack of water, and that tho
herds and flocks might not perish.
Tho family rose from the altar. Mr.
Birdseye, tho old man, took his staff and
walked out over tho hills, and in a place
where he had seen scores of times, without
noticing anything particular, ha saw the
staff ground was very dark, and he took his
and turned up the .ground, the water
started, and he beckoned to his servants,
and they came and brought pails and
buckets until all the family and all the
flocks and the herds were cared for, and
then they made troughs reaching from
that place down to the house and barn,
and the water flowed, and it is a living
fountain to-day.

There was a child born in your house, All
your friends congratulated you. The other
children of the family stood amazed, look¬
ing nt the newcomer and asked n great

—that a white angel flew through the room
and left the little one there. That little
one stood with its two feet in the very sanc¬
tuary of your affection, and with its two
hands it took hold of the altar of your soul.
But one day there came one of the three
scourges of children—scarlet fever, or
croup, vanished. or diphtheria—and all that bright
scene The chattering, the strange
questions, the pulling nt the dresses as you
crossed the floor—all ceased.
As the great friend of children stooped
down and leaned toward that cradle, and
took the little one in His arms and walked
away with it into the bower of Him, eternal sum¬
mer, your eye began to follow and you
followed the treasure He carried, and you
have been following them over since, and
instead of thinking of heaveb only once a

Mrs. Jare Pithey, of Chicago, a well-
known Ch-istian woman, was left by her
husband i widow with one half dollar and
a cottage. She was palsied and had a
mother ninety years of ago to support:
The widoved soul every day asked God for
all that vas needed in the household, and
the servant even was astonished at the
precision with which God answered the
prayers of that woman, item by item, item
by item. One day, rising from the family
altar, the servant said, “You have not
asked for coal, and the coal is out.”
Then they stood and prayed for the coal.
One hour after that the servant threw open
the door and paid: “The coal has come.”
A generous man, whose name I could give
yon, has sent—as never before and never
since—a supply of coal. You cannot under¬
stand it. I do. Ravens! Itavens!
My friend, you have a right to argue
from precedent that God ‘is going to take
carp of you. Has he not done it two or
three times every day? That is most mar¬
velous. I look back and wonder that God
has given me food three times a day regu¬
larly all my lifetime, never missing but
once, and then I was lost in the mountains,
but that every morning and that very night
I met the ravens.
Oh, the Lord is so good that I wish all
His people would trust Him with the two
lives—the life you are living and that which
every tiok of the watch and every stroke of
the clock informs you is approaching. to-day.

There is only one question I want to ask,
How many of this audience are willing to
trust God for the supply of their bodies
and trust the Lord Jesus Christ for the re¬
demption of their immortal souls? Amid
the clatter of the hoofs and the clang of tho
wheels of the judgment chariot the wholo
matter will be demonstrated.
LIONS IN THE CELLAR'
Strange Discovery of a Farmer In the
California Hills. ■: .JS
In the hills near Sunol, Alameda County,
Cal., Antonio Nunez, a farmer, moved two
weeks ago from his old house into another
that had not yet been occupied. For sev¬
eral days after that the family heard
strange sounds coming apparently from the
cellar.
Antonio called in a few friends to his as¬
sistance, and, armed with shotguns, thoy
made their way into the ceilar. They had
hardly reached the side of the stone wall
when from beneath the stairway bounded a
splendid California lioness. Before a shot
oould be fired the animal escaped through
the open door.
A second later the lion,'a big ugly boast,
made a jump for the stairway. This time
Antonio was ready and killed the animal at
tile first Are. While his friends stood guard
at the doorway Antonio made a search un¬
derneath the stairway and found four cubs.
They ivero as comfortable as kittens, having
an overcoat and a quilt for a bed. The
lioness did not return.

IHON ROST AND MILDEW,
To remove ink marks and iron mold
stains place a plate on the top ot a
basinful of boiling water, spread the
article on the plate, wet the spot and
rub it with a small quantity of salt
lemon. As the article dries the stain
will disappear. If one application is
not quite successful, repeat the opera¬
tion. A small box of salt lemon should
have a place in every household.
Mildew may be removed from linen
by the following process: Bub the
linen well with salt, then scrape some
fine chalk and rub it also on the
stained part. Lay the linen on the
grass, and as it dries wet it a little.
Tho mildew will in all probability be
quite removed by one or two applica¬
tions.
NEW WAY OP SERVING CARROTS.
A wav of serving carrots is the fol¬
lowing, evolved by a oook desirous, as
all cooks should be, of “something
new.” The vegetable is scraped,diced,
and boiled till tender. Meanwhile a
slice of onion is browned in a table¬
spoonful of butter. With this one
tablespoonful of flour is rubbed
smooth and stirred until the Hour is
cooked. Then one cup of tomato
juice, not heated, is adrtocl to the mix¬
ture with a half-teaspoonfui of salt
and a dash of pepper. The whole is
stewed together three or four minutes
before being strained over the carrots
which have been drained, This dish
is much more palatable than the
creamed carrots because it adds, a
needed flavor and is none the harder to
preparethan thebettr:J:nown prepara¬
tion.—New York Post.
KEEP THE SILVER SHINING.
To keep silver in perfect comlition
it should be well washed and rubbed
after every time of using. Perfectly
clean hot water must be provided and
plenty of soap used. A small mop
will be found better than a cloth to
wash it with, as the water must be al¬
most too hot to bear the hands in. It
should be dried at once with a per¬
fectly dry towel and rubbed with a
clean wash leather before putting back
into the silver basket.
Any stains should be removed from
silver as soon as detected, or they may
be hard to remove if left. The silver
must be well soaked in strong soap
and water for an hour or two, then
rubbed over with whiting made into
a paste with vinegar ami left to dry.
When dry they must he polished with
a leather after first washing in hot
water. Where ink has been dropped
ou silver, it can be removed by at
once using a little chloride of lime,
which must be washed off as soon as
the stain is removed.
CLOSETS TO SUIT AT LAST.
A woman who does not reach the
five feet two inches of height with
which the average woman is credited
according to statistics has recently
bvulded herself a house. The closet
opening ofl her bedroom embodies, to
quote her own words, “all that I have
missed in every closet which I have
ever used.” At one end are three
wide, shallow drawers that “never
stick;” these are for evening dress
skirts, each fitted with a sachet cover
ing, lavender scented. The hooks
along the sides of the closet are within
easy reach, carefully measured, of the
closet’s owner, and surmounting them
is a broad shelf where rows of shoes,
boots and slippers are picked off with¬
out effort by the short woman who
owns them. The capacity of the closet
is further increased by double hooks
screwed in the under side of the shelf.
The floor is carefully fitted with an
oilcloth covering, and-in the doorway,
running easily on a slender pole and
rings, are muslin curtains that, with
the wooden door, keep out all dust.—

BECIPES.
Hominy Fritters—Allow one beaten
egg and one-fourth teacup milk to cup
of cold pearl hominy. Add salt,
melted butter and flour to make batter
to drop from spoon. A little soda or
baking powder will make them light
and more tender. Bake in buttered
frying pan.
Apple Dandies—Pare five large, tart
apples, remove cores and fill the cavi¬
ties with grape or quince jelly. Ar¬
range on an earthen pie-plate, sprin¬

sugar and strew over them grated
eocoanut. Cover closely and bake in

Governor Blank has signed the
Greater New York aharter of which
the following is a brief synopsis of its
main provisions:
“The municipality is divided into
five boroughs—Manhattan, Bronx,
Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond—
which are in turn each subdivided in¬
to ten council districts.
“The mayor will be elected for four
years at a salary of $15,000 per $10,- an-
num instead of for two years at
000 as at present.
“With the exception of the comp¬
troller, who will be elected by popular
vote, all municipal officers will be ap¬
pointed by the mayor, who months may re- of
move during the first six .
his tenure.
“There will be only one police force,
under a bi-partisan beard of four, as
at present. The department of public
works is abolished and water supply,
sewer, bridge and street bureaus will
replace it, their heads to be appointed
by the mayor. legisla¬
“There will be a municipal
ture of two houses, the council of
twenty-eight members from each of
the twenty-one senatorial districts in
the Greater New York. Brooklyn and
Long Island City are names no longer
known on its map.
“Greater New York covers a terri¬
tory of 359 J square miles, thirty-two
miles long and sixteen miles wide,
with an estimated population of about
3,400,000, second iu both respects on¬
ly to London.”
A Hard One.
“Speaking about remarkable acci¬
dents,” said Hilt, “I once fell forty
feet—-from the masthead to the deck
—and, would you believe it, I escaped
with only a few scratches?”
“Um," murmured Davvy, “landed
on your head, I presume?”—Philadel¬
phia North American.
