“There was a farmer up home,” he
said, “who used to have his occasional
spree. Every one knew his failing,”
says Time and the Hour, “and neither
of the druggesis in town would sell
him a drop. One day he brought a
quart bottle into one of the apothecary
shops, with two or three big lumps of
gum camphor in the bottom. He told
the druggist that his w r ife wanted her
camphor bottle filled with alcohol.
The druggist filled it without suspect¬
ing anything. In a week the old man
came again, and in a little while the
third time. Finally the druggist dis¬
covered that the ‘gum camphor’ was
milky quartz, picked ‘up in the fields,
and that the farmer had poured cam¬
phor over the outside of the bottle un¬

natural, and sfpell right. The quartz
didn’t hurt the alcohol for drinking

Text: “What -wilt thou, Queen Esther?”
—Esther v., 2L
This question'which was asked of a queen
thousands of years ago, all civilized na¬
tions are this day asking of Queen Victoria.
“What'wilt thou have of honor, of reward
or reverence’or service, of national and in¬
ternational acclamation? What wilt thou,
the queen of tho nineteenth century?”
Tho seven miles of procession through the
streets of London will be a small part of
the congratulatory procession encircle whose mul-.
titudinons tramp will the earth.
The celebrative anthems that will sound
up from Westminster Abbey and St. Paul’s
cathedral in London will be less than the
vibration'of one harp string as compared
with the doxologies which this hour roll up
from all nations in praise to God for the
beautiful life and the glorious reign of this
oldest queen amid many centuries. From
5 o’clock of the morning of 1837, when the
Archbishop of Canterbury addressed tho
embarrassed and weeping and almost af¬
frighted girl of eighteen years with the
startling words, “your majesty,” until this
sixtieth anniversary of her enthronement,
the prayer of all good people on all sides of
the seas, whether that prayer be offered by
the 303,000.030 of her subjects or the larger
number of millions who are not her .sub¬
jects, whether that prayer be solemnized in
.y bur eh or rolled from great orchestras or
poured forth by military bands from forts
and battlements and in front of triumphant
armies all around the world, has been and
is now, “God save the queen.”
Amid the innumerable columns that have
been printed in eulogy of this queen at the
approa »hing anniversary—columns which,
put together, would be literally miles long
—it seems to me that the chief cause of con-
graiulation to her and of praise of God has
not vet been properly emphasized, and in
many cases the chief key note has not been
struck at all. We have been told over and
over again what has occurred in the Victo¬
rian era. The mightiest thing she has done
has been almost ignored, while she has
been honored by having her name attached
to individuals and events for whom and for
which she had no responsibility. We have
put before us the names of potent and
grandly useful men and woman who have
lived during her reign, but I do not suppose
that she at all helped Thomas Carlyle in
twisting his involved and mighty satires,
Disraeli in * his epi¬
or helped wit, helped issuance Cardinal of New¬
grammatic or
man in his crossing over from religion
to religion, or helped to inspire the en¬
chanted sentiments of George Eliot and
Harriet Martiueau and Mrs. Browning,
or helped healthful to invent any of George helped Cruik-
shank’s cartoons, or
George Grey in founding a British South
African empire, or kindled the patriotic
fervor with which John Bright stirred the
masses, or had anything to do with the
invention of the telephone or photograph,
or the building up of the science of bae-
tenology, or the directing of the Roentgen
rays which have revolutionized surgery, or
helped in the inventions for facilitating
printing and railroading and ocean voyag-
iug. One is uot to be credited or discredited
for the virtue or the vice, the brilliance or
the stupidity of his or her contemporaries,
While Queen Victoria has been the friend
of all art, all literature, all science, all in-
vention, all reform, her reign will be most
remembered for all time and all eternity as
the of
Beginning with that scene at 5 o'clock in
the morning in Kensington palace, where
she asked the Archbishop of Canterbury to
pray for her, and they knelt down, implor-
ing divine guidance until this hour, npt
only iu the sublime liturgy of her estab-
fished church, but on all occasions, shelias
directly or indirectly declared, “I believe in
God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven
and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only he-
gotten Son.” I declare it, fearless of con-
tradiction, that the mightiest champion of
Christianity to-day is the throne of Eug-
land. The queen’s book, so much critjoised
at the time of .its appearance, some
it was not skillfully done and some saying
that the private affairs of a household
• ought not so to have been exposed, was
nevertheless a book of vast usefulness
from the fact that it showed that
God was acknowledged in all her
life and that “Kock of Ages”
was not an unusual song iu Windsor Castle,
Was her son, the Prince of Wales, down
with an illness that baffled the greatest
doctors of England? Then she proclaimed
a day of prayer to Almighty God, and in
answer to the prayers of the whole civilized
world the Prince got well. Was Sevastopol
to be taken and the thousands of bereaved
homes of soldiers to bo comforted, she
called her nation to its knees, and the
prayer was answered. See her walking
through the hospitals like an angel of
mercy. Was there ever an explosion of
fire Wales damp iu the mines of Sheffield or
and her telegram was not the first to
arrive with help and Christian sympathy?
Is President Garfield dying at Long Branch
and is not the cable under the sea reaching
to Balmoral Castle kept busy in announcing
the symptoms of the sufferer?
I believe that no throne since the throne
■ of David and the throne of Hezekiah and
the throne of Esther has been in such con-
slant touch with the throne of heaven as
the throne of Victoria. From what I know
of her habits she reads the Bible more than
she does Shakespeare. She admires the
hymns of Horatio Bonar more than she
does Byron’s “Corsair.” She has not know-
ingly admitted into her presence a corrupt
man or dissolute woman. To very distin-
•guished novelists and vary celebrated
prima donnas she has declined reception
because they were immoral. All the com-
ing centuries of time cannot revoke the
advantages of having had sixty years of
Christian womanhood enthroned in the
palaces of England. Compare her court
surroundings with what were the court
surroundings in the time of Henry VIII.,
or what were the court surroundings
in the time of Napoleon, in the time of Louis
XVI., in the times of men and women whose
names may not be mentioned in decent so-
ciety. Alas! for the revelries, and the worse
than Belshazzar feasts, and the more than
Herodian dances, and the scenes from
whicb the veil must not be lifted. You
need, however, in order to appreciate the
purity and virtuous splendor of Victoria’s
reign to contrast it somewhat with the
gehennas and the pandemoniums of many
of the throne rooms of the past and some
of the thronerooms of the present. I call
the roll ol the queens of the earth, not that
[ would have them come up or comeback,
but that I may make them the background
of a picture in which I can better present
the present septuagenarian, so soon to be
an octogenarian, now on the throne of Eng-
land, her example all the so scandal thoroughly on the
right side that mongers in
all the Mations in six decades have not
been able to manufacture an evil suspicion
in regard to her that could be made to
stick; B lean Maria and Joanna of Portugal, Spain, Isabella and
or of Catherine ot
Kussia, Mary of Saotland, Maria Theresa of
Germany, Marie Antoinette of Miss Fronce and
all the queens of England, as Strick-
land jias put them before us in her charm-
Ing twelve volumes, and while some queen
may surpass our modern queen in learning,
and another in attractiveness of feature,
and another in gracefulness of form, and
another in romance of history, Victoria
surpasses them all in nobility and grandeur
and thoroughness of Christian character. I
hail her, the Christian daughter, the Chris-
tian wife, the Christian mother, the Chris-
tian Queen, aud let the ehuroh of God nnd
all benign and gracious institutions the
world over cry out, as they come with
music and Bannered host, and million
voiced huzza, and the benedictions of
earth and kbaven, “Wiiai. wilt li\ou,Queen
Esther?' 1 ’
Anottvwr thing I call to your attention iu
thlsdllnstrlous woman's career is that she
is a specimen of high life uueorrupted,
Wonld she have lived to celebrate the six-
tipth anniversary of hereoronntibn and the
seventy-eighth anniversary of her birthday
had she not been an example of good prln-
aiples and good habits? While there have
been bad men and women In exalted station
and hnmbla station who have carried their
vices clear into the seventies and eighties,
and even the nineties of their lifetime, suoh
persons are very rare. The and majority fewor of roach the
vicious die in their thirties,
the forties, and they are exceedingly has been source the
in the fifties. Longevity not
characteristic of the most of those who
have reached high places in that or this
country. In many cases their wealth
leads them into indulgence, or their
honors make them reckless, or their op-
portunitles of doing wrong are multi-
plied into tho overwhelming, and it is
astruenowas when the Bible first pro-
sented it, "The wicked live not out half
their days.” goodness, Longevity it is is not prims a facie positive
proof of but evi-
dence in that direction. A loose life has
killed hundreds of eminent Americans. A
loose life is now killihg hundreds of emi-
nent Americans and Europeans. The doc-
tors are very kind nnd the certificate given
arter tho distinguished man of dissipation
is dead, says, ‘‘Died of congestion of the
brain.” although it was delirium tremens,
or‘‘Died of cirrhosis of the liver,” al-
though it was a round of libertinism,
or “Died of heart failure,”* although it
was the vengeance of outraged law that
slew him. Thanks, doctor, for yon arc
right in saving the feelings of the bereft
household by not being more specific,
Look.all ye. who are in high plied places of earth,
and see one who has wealth been and honor by all the
temptations which nnd
the secret place of palaces could produce,
nnd yet next Tuesday she will ride along in
the presence of 7,000,000 people, if they can
get within sight of her chariot,in the vigor-
ous old age, no more hurt by the splendors
that have surrounded her for seventy-eight
years than is the plain country woman
come down from her mountain home in an
oxcart to attend the Saturday marketing,
I believe more people die of improper
eating than d eof strong drink. The former
causes no delirium or violence and works
more gradually, but none self-denying the less fatally.
Queen Victoria’s habits, and
almost ascetic, under a good Providence,
account for her magnifleent longevity- It
may he a homely lesson for a sexagesimal
anniversary in British palaces, but it Is
worth all the millions of dollars the cele-
brat ion will cost, and the laborious con-
vocation of the representatives from all the
zones of the planet, if the nations will learn
the sanitary lesson of good hours, plain
food, outdoor exercise, reasonable absti-
nence and common sense habits. That which
Paul said to the jailer is just as appropriate
for you and for me—“Do thyself no harm.”
And hero let me say no pooplo outside of
hiTldsqueehs'jubilee tlmn ""he
cradles of most of our ancestors were
rocked In Great Britain. They played in
childhood on the. banks of the Thames 01
the Clyde or the Shannon. Take from mv
veins the Welsh blood nnd the Scotch blood,
nnd the streams of my life would be a shal-
low. Great Britain is our grandmother.
Again, this international occasion im
presses me with the faet that woman is
competent for political government when
God calls her to it. Great'ears have been
experienced in this country that woman
would get the right of suffrage, and as a
consequence after awhile reach the chief
magistracy. perturbations, Awful! Well, better quiet ;
your as you look across the j
sea, in this anniversary time, and behold a |
woman who for sixty years has ruled over
the mightiest empire of all time and ruled !
well. In approval of her government the j
hands of all nations are clapping, the flags i
of all nations waving, the batteries of all |
nations booming. Look here! Men have
not made such wonderful success of gov-
eminent should that they take need be afrifid that wo-
men ever a turn at power.
men a
mess of it. The most damnably corrupt
thing on earth is American politics after
men have had it all their own way in this
country for 121 years. Other things being
equal—for there are fools among women as
well as among men—I say other things be-
ing equal, woman has generally a keener
sense of what is right and what is wrong
than has man—has naturally more faith
in God and knows better how to make self
sacrifices and would more boldly act
against intemperance and the social evil,
and worst things might come to this coun-
try thau a supreme courtroom and a Senate
chamber and a House of Representatives in
which womanly voices were sometimes
heard. We men lmd better drop some of
the strut out of our pompous gait and with
a little less of superciliousness thrust the
thumbs into the sleeves of our vests and be
less apprehensive of the other sex, who
seem to be the Lord’s favorites from the
fact that he has made more of them. If
woman had possessed an influential and
controlling vote on Capitol hill at Washing-
ton and in the English Parliament, do you
think that the two ruffian and murderous
nations of the earth could have gone on
until this time with the butcheries in Ar-
menia and Cuba? No. The Christian
nations would have gone forth with
bread and medicine and bandages and
have military relief until Abdul Hamid would
had no throne to sit on, and Weyler,
the commanding assassin in Cuba, would
have been tbrust into a prison as dark as
that in which they murdered Dr. Buiz. I
do am no advocate whether for female it would suffrage, be and I
not know best to
have it, but I point you to the queen of
Gr eat Britain and the nation over which
rules as proof that woman may be
politically dominant and prosperity reign,
God sa Y e the flueem whether now on the
throne in Buckingham palace or in some
time to come in American W hite House.
But as all of us will be denied attendance
on Glat: sixtieth anniversary coronation I
Invite you not to the anniversary of a ooro-
nation, but to a coronation itself—aye, to
two coronations. Brought up as we are, to
love as no other form of government that
which is republican and democratic, we,
living on this side of the sea, cannot so
easily as those living on the other side of
Gl(; sea appreciate tho two coronations to
which all up and down the Bible you
and I are urgently invited. Some of you
bave such morbid ideas of religion that
Y ou think of it as going down into a dark
cellar, .
or out on a barren common, or as
flagellation, lar, palace, when, so far instead from a dark cel-
it is a and of a barren
common it is a garden, atoss with the
brightest fountains that, were ever rain-
bowed, and instead of flagellation it is
coronation, but a coronation utterly eciips-
ing one whose sixtieth anniversary is now
being celebrated.
It was a great day when, about an
of a mile from the gate of Jerusalem, UII-
der a sky pallid with thickest darkness,
and on a mountain trammeled of earth-
quake, and the air on lire with the blas-
phemies of u mob, a crown of spikes was
put upon the pallid and agonized brow of
our Jesus. But that particular coronation, shiv-
amid tears and blood and groans and
ing cataclysms, made your own corona-
tion possible, l’aul was not a man to lose
his equilibrium, but when that old mis-
sionary, with crooked back and in-
flamed eyes, got a glimpse of the crown
coming to him, and coming to you, if you
wifi by repentance and faith accept it, he
went into ecstasies, and his poor eyes
flashed aad his crooked back straightened
ns he cried to Timothy, "There is iaid up
for the me a crown of righteousness,” athletes and to
Corinthians, “These run to
‘obtain a corruptible, we an incorruptible,’
crown.” And to the Thessalonians he
speaks of “the crown of glory,” and to the
Philippians he says, “My joy the and crown.” inspira-
The apostle Peter catches
lion and cries out, "Ye shall receive a
crown of glory that fadeth not away,”
and St. John joins In the rapture and says,
“Faithful to death, and I will give thee a
crown of life,” and elsewhere exclaims.
’'Hold fast that no man take thy crown.”
Crowns, crowns, crowns! You did not ex-
peat in coming here to-dny to be invited to
a coronation. You can scarcely believe
your own ears, hut in the name of n par-
doning God and a sacrificing Christ and an
omnipotent. Holy Spirit and a triumphant
heaven I offer each one acrown for the ask-
ing. Crowns, crowns! How to get tho
crown? The way Victoria got her crown,
on her knees. Although eight midl¬
esse.i and marquises, all in cloth of
silver, carried her traiu. and tho wln-
dows and arches and roof of the abbey
shook with the‘‘Te Ileum” of the organ in
full diapason, she had to kneel, she bad to
coma down. To get the crown of kneel, pardon
and Vernal life, you will have to you
will have to come down. Yea. History
says that at her coronation not only tho en-
tire asssembly wept with profound emo-
tion, but Victoria was in tears. So you will
have to have your dry eyes moistened with
tears, In your cage tears of repentance, and will tears feel
of joy, tears of coronation, you
like crying out with Jeremiah, “Oh. that
niy head were waters and mine eyes fount-

In all the ages of time no one over
SU ch a hard time as Christ while he was
on earth. Brambles for His brow, expee-
torations for His side, cheek, whips for His back,
spearsi for His spikes for His feet,
contumely for His name, and even in our
time how many say He is no Christ at all,
and there are tens of thousands of hands
trying to push Him hack and keep Him
down. But, oh, the human and satanic

that coronation and cried out in regard t,o
the Messiah, “Upon Himself shall His

no room on anv head for more than

airship from the Tempelhof Common, Ber¬
lin, Germany. When the balloon, which
had been filled at the military ballooning
establishment, had reached a height of
3000 feet, a loud explosion was heard, and
the next moment the balloon was seen to
be ablaze. The cur, wliieh was also on fire,
detached itself from the burning silx and
fell with fearful rapidity to the ground.
Both of its occupants were found to be
dead. Their bodies were horribly burned.
It appears that the benzine used in tho
steering gear motor exploded, causing tho
disaster.

Summer Cure of BlnnlceU.
Blankets after the winter use are never
clean, and should not he put awny without
being washed. Many housekeepers In view
of the shrinking and discoloring caused
by washing, satisfy themselves with airing
and shaking their blankets, but this is
a great mistake, for if the work is prop¬
erly done the soft appearance and white¬
ness may be retained for years.
The most important consideration in
washing blankets is to have plenty cheap of
soft water and good soap. An inferior
soap is really the cause of the hardens injury done
woolen goous In washing, as It and
yellows the fibre. When ready to begin the
work, shake the blankets free of dust, illl
n tub nearly full of soft hot water, and dis¬
solve a third of a cake of Ivory soap in it.
Put one blanket in at a time and dip up and
down, gently washing with the hands.
Never rub soap on blankets, or wash
on the washboard. After the blankets
are clean, rinse them in warm water until
free of suds. Add a little bluing to the last
water. Shake and squeeze rather than
wring, andliang on the lina until dry. Then
fold and pack away in a box securely to
exclude the moth. Blankets washed in this
way will keep their original freshness and
wear very much longer than if put away
soiled year after year. Eliza II. I’arkeii.

The great neat plague of August, 1S9G, was not without its o .

the dead throughout this country, that so many of
the victims were women in their thirties, and
women between forty-five and fifty, /*

Toads Are of Value.
Don’t drive away the toads from yotir
gardens. They are of immense value
as insect destroyers and are perfectly
harmless. In fact, in many places in
Europe they cultivate them as a sort
of house pet. A gentleman from a
suburban town tells mo he has two in
his home, and they have entirely freed
his dwelling of cockroaches and water
bugs. If you are pestered in summer
with the troublesome little red ant,
keep a toad. It is an absolute safe¬
guard.—Boston Post.
