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- prey, by the command of God, in Leviticus, flung out of the world’s bill of fare. Audubon I would like to have be,en with as he went through the woods, with gun and pencil, bringing down and sketching the fowls of .heaven, his unfolded portfolio thrilling ail Christendom. What wonder- ful creatures of God the birds are. Some of them this morning, like the songs of heaven let loose, bursting through the gates of heaven. Consider their feathers, which are clothing and conveyance at the same time; the nine vertebrae of the neck, the three eyelids to each eye, the third eyelid an extra curtain for graduating the light of the sun. Some of these birds scav- engers and some of them orchestra. Thank God for quail’s whistle, and lark’s carol, and the twitter of the wren, called by the ancients the king of birds, because wlion the fowls of heaven went into a contest as to who should fly tho highest, and the eagle swung nearest the sun, a wren on back of the eagle, after the eagle was exhausted, sprang up much higher, and so was called by tho ancients the king of birds. Consider those of them that have golden crowns and crests, showing them to be feathered im- perials. And listen to the hamming bird’s serenade in the ear of the honeysuckle, Look at the belted kingfisher, striking a dart from sky to water. Listen to the voice of the owl, giving the keynote to all I croakers. the And behold the .condor among do Andes, battling with the reindeer.

I can tell you who taught them which way to fly—God. I can tell you who told them at what cave to swoop—God. I can toll you who introduced raven to prophet and pro¬ phet to raven—God. There is one passage I will whisper in your ear, for I would not want to utter it aloud, lest some oneshould drop shall down under its power, “If any r man take away from the words of the pro¬ phecy of this book, God shall take away his part out of the book of life and out Of the While, then, we watch the ravens feeding Elijah, lot the swift dove of God’s spirit •sweep down the sky with divine food, and soul on outspread wing pause at the lip of every On hungering the for comfort. banks of what rivers have been the groat battles of tho world? While you are looking over tho map of the world to answer that, I will tell you that the groat conflict to-day is on the Potomac, on the Hudson, on the Mississippi, on the Thames, on the Savannah, on the Khine, on the Nile, ‘“ e Ganges, on the Hoang-Ho. It is a battle that lias been going on for 6000 X®"®' Th ? troops engaged in it are 1,600,- 000,000, and those who have fallen by tho way are vaster in number than those who march. It is a battle for bread. Sentimentalists sit in a cushioned chair in their pictured study, with their slippered feet on .a damask ottoman, and say that 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 bundle, or sweeping the room, or mending the garment, or sweltering at the washtub? That Is Deborah, one of the Lord’s hero¬ ines, battling against Amalekitish want, •which comes down with iron chariot to crush her and hers. The great question with the vast majority of people to-day is not home rule, but whether there shall be any home to rule; not one of tariff, but whether there shall be anything to lax. Tile great questions with the vast majority of the people are: “How shall I support my shall family ? How shall I meet my no^>s? How I pay my rent? Howshall Iglvefood, clothing and education to those who are help dependent upon me?” Oh, if God would mo to-day to assist you in the solution of that problem, the happiest man in this house would be your preacher. I have gone out on a cold morning with expert Sportsmen to hunt lor pigeons. I have gone out pn the meadows to hunt for quail. I have gone out on the marsh to hunt for reodblrds, but to-day I am out for ravens 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 mouth be just in the kind dying sacrament. It may not the ef food or apparel we would prefer. The sensible parent depends on his own judgment as to what ought to be the apparol and the food of tho minor in 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, The3e ravens of the text did not bring pomegranates from the glittering platter milk. of King Ahab. had They brought bread and God all the heavens and the earth before Him and under Him, and yet Ha sends this plain food, because it was best for Elijah to have it. Oil, be strong, my hearer, in the fact that the same God is go- ing to sdpply you. It is never “hard times” with Him. His ships never break on the rocks. His banks never fail. He has tho supply sending for you, and He has the mssas for it. He has not only the cargo but the ship. If it were necessary He would swing out from the heavens a flock of ravens reaching from His gate to yours un¬ til the food would be flung down the sky from beak to beak and from talon to talon, 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 enough one morning to last until the 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. You have more confidence in the Wash- ington banks or Bank of England than you have iu the lioyal Bank of Heaven. You say: “All that is very poetic, but you mav have the black ravens. Give me the gold eagles.” We had better be content with just enough. If in the morning your fam- ily eat up nil the food there is iu the house, do not sit down and cry and say, “I don’t know where the next rneai is to come from:” About 5, or 6, or 7 o’clock in the morning just look up, and you will see two black spots on the sky, and you will hear the fiap- ping of wing, and instead of Edgar A. Poe’s insane raven alight on the chamber door, “only find this and nothing more,” you will the Lord, Elijah’s two ravens, or two ravens of the one bringing bread and the other bringing meat—plumed butcher and baker. God is infinite in resource. When the city of Rochelle was besieged and the inhabi- tants were dying of the, famine, the tides washed up on the beach as never before, and as never since, enough shellfish to feed the whole city. God is good. There is no mistake 1555 about that. History tells us that in in England there Was a great drought. The crops failed, but in Essex on the rocks, in a place where thev had neither sown nor cultured a great crop of peas grew until they filled 100 measures and there were blossoming vines enough’ promising But as much more i family why go so far? generations' can give vou 7 a 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. Now I call that old grandfather Elijah, and I call that brook that began to roll then and is rolling still the brook (Juerith, and tho lesson to me and to all who hear it is, when you are in great stress of circum¬ stances, pray and dig, dig and pray, and pray and dig.

Here Is whore wo all make our mistake and thatls in regard to the color of God’s providence, A white-providence oomes to us, and we say, “Oh, It Is mercy!” Then a black providence comes toward us, and we say, “Oh, that Is disaster!” The white pro- you proud, and you get independent of God, and you this begin to feel that bread,” the prayer, “Give me day my dally is In- appropriate for you, for yon Then have made provision for 100 years. a blngsk provldenoe comes, and it sweeps t<J evorytlmrg away, and then you begin pray, and you begin to feel your dependence, and begin to bo humble before God, and you cry out for treasures in heaven. The black provi- denco brought you salvation. The white providence brought you ruin. That which seemed to be harsh and fierce and disson¬ ant was your greatest mercy. It was a raven. 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 many logical. questions, You ’genealogical and chrono¬ said—and you said truthfully —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 week, as formerly, you are thinking of it all the time, and you are more pure and tender hearted than you used to be, and you are patiently waiting foe the daybreak.

Oh, it was tho dark shadow on the nursery, it was the dark shadow on the soft grave, it was the dark, shadow on your broken heart, it was the brooding of a great black trouble, it was a raven—it was a raven!

Ask God in the right way for what you want and you shall htve it if it is best for you. 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.

Look down, and you see noth¬ ing but your sjuritual deformities. Look back, and you see nothing but wasted op¬ portunity. Cast your eye forward, and you have a fearful looking for judgment and fiery indignation which shall devour the adversary. But look up, and you be¬ hold the whipped shoulders of an inter¬ ceding Christ, and the face of a pardoning oponing God, and the irradiation of an heaven. I hear tne whir of their wings. Do yon not feel the rush of air on your cheek? Ravens! Ravens! 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. tVatcrcresses in Plenty. ‘ A New York man named Kretchmar is re¬ ported to have leased the sunken meadows on the Greenhills, Kingston, N. Y., from where he will furnish the Now York market with watereresses. The water at this place is ice cold all summer, and acres of water- cresses of the finest variety grow there, some of them with stems four feet in length. The cresses are to be picked and shipped ovdry evening in crates to New York.

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.— New Orleans Picayune. 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¬ kle the apples thickly with powdered sugar and strew over them grated eocoanut. Cover closely and bake in a moderate oven till tender. Serve with whipped cream. Breaded Whitefish—Free a white- fish from skin and bone; ent it into small pieces, four inches long and three wide; dust well with pepper and salt; dip in beaten egg and roil in dried bread crumbs. Arrange in the frying basket, but do not place one piece on top of another. Cook for three minutes and a half in fat so hot that a blue smoke rises from the cen¬ ter of the fat. Serve with a sauce tar- tare. Spaghetti a la Turinois—Boil four ounces of spaghetti in salted water un¬ til tender; drain, lay on a cloth and cut into inch lengths; put this in a saucepan with a pint of Btrained and slightly thicken stewed tomatoes, sea¬ soned with a teaspoonful of salt and half the quantity of pepper; add one quart of consomme and a dozen small polenta quenelles. Boil up once, pour into a tureen and pass grated cheese with it. Second Only to London. 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.
