Glass Water Pipes,
Various English towns ar« introduc¬
ing water pipes made of glass and
covered with asphaltnm with highly
satisfactory results. These pipes are
doubtless the most sanitary, and while
the first cost may be somewhat in ex¬
cess of iron and lead, yet if properly
laid and protected they should last for
centuries and thus be the most eco¬
nomical in the end.

Text: “What is your life?”—James iv.,
14.
If we leave to the evolutionists to guess
where we dime from nndtotho theologians
to prophesy where we are going to, we still
have left 1 or consideration the important
fact that we are here. There may be some
doubt about .whore the river rises and some
doubt about where the river empties, but
there enu be no doubt the fact that wo are
sailing on it. So I am not surprised that
everybody living?” asks tho question, "Is life worth
Solomon, in his unhappy moments, says
it is not, “Vanity,” “vexation of spirit,”
“no good,” are his estimate. The fact is
that Solomon was at one time a polygamist
and that soured his disposition. One wife
makes n inun happy; more than one makes
him wretched. But Solomon was converted
from polygamy to monogamy, and the last
words he ever wrote, as far as we can read
them, But were the words “mountains of spices.”
Jeremiah says life is worth living. In
u book supposed to be doleful nnd lugu¬
brious and sepulchral and entitled “Lamen¬
blessings tations,” he plainly intimates that the
of merely living is so great and
grand piled a blessing him that though a man have
on al! misfortunes and disasters
he has no right to complain. The ancient
prophet cries out in startling intonation to
all lands and to all centuries, “Wherefore
doth a living man complain?”
A diversity of opinion in our time ns well
as in olden time. Here is a youug man of
light hair and blue eyes and souud diges¬
tion and generous salary and happily
affianced and on the way to become a part¬
ner in a commercial firm of which he is an
important clerk. Ask him whether life is
worth living. He will laugh in your face
and say: “Yes, yes, yes!” Here is a man
who has come to the forties, He is at the
tiptop of the hill ol' life. Every step has
been a’stumble nnd a bruise. The people
he trusted have turned out deserters, and
the money he has honestly made he has
been cheated out of. His nerves are out of
tune. He has poor appetite, and the food
he does eat does not assimilate. Forty
miles climbing up the hill of life have been
to him like climbing the Matterhorn, and
there are forty miles yet to go down, and
descent is always more dangerous than as-
cent. Ask him whether life is worth living,
and he will drawl out in shivering and
lububrious and appalling negative, “No,
no, nol”
How are we to decide this matter right¬
eously and intelligently? You will find the
same opinion man from vacillating, oscillating in his
if he dejection to exuberance, and
be very mercurial in his temperament
it will depend very much on which way the
wind blows. If the wind blow from the
northwest and you ask him, he will say
“Yes,” and if it blow from tho northeast
and you ask him he will say, “No.” How
ly are we, then, to get the question righteous¬
answered? Suppose we call all nations
together in a great convention on eastern
or who western hemisphere, and let all those
are in the affirmative say, “Aye,” and
nil those who are in the negative say, “No.”
While there would be hundreds of thou¬
sands of thoso who would answer in the af¬
firmative, there would be more millions
who would answer in the negative, and
because of the greater number who have
sorrow and misfortune and trouble tho noes
would have it, The answer I shall give
will be different from either, and yet it will
commend itself to all who hear me this day
as theright answer. If you ask me, “Is
life worth living?” It answer, “I all depends
upon the kind of life you live.”
In the first place, I remark that a life of
mere money getting is always a failure, be¬
cause you will never get as much ns you
want. The poorest people in this country
are tho millionaires. There is not a scissora.
grinder on the streets of New York or
Brooklyn who is so anxious to make money
as these men who have piled up fortunes
year after year in storehouses, in Govern¬
ment securities, in tenement houses, in
whole city blocks. You ought to see them
jump when they hear the fire bell ring.
You ought to see them in their excitement
when a bank explodes. You ought to see
their agitation when there is proposed a
reformation in the tariff. Their nerves
tremble like harp strings, but no music in
the vibration. They read the reports from
Wall street in the morning with a concern¬
ment that threatens paralysis or apolexy,
telephone or more probably in their they have houses, a telegraph or
catch breadth own change so- they
every of in the money
market. The disease of accumulation has
eaten into them—eaten into their heart,
into their lungs, into their spleen, into
their into their bones.
Chemists have sometimes analyzed the
human body, and they say it is so much
magnesia, so much lime, so much chlorate
of potassium. If some Christian chemist
would analyze one of these financial be¬
hemoths, he would find he is made up of
copper and gold and silver and zinc and
lead and coal and iron. That is not a life
worth living. There are too many
quakes in it, too many agonies in it, too
many castles, perditions in it. They build their
and they open their picture gal¬
leries, and they summon prima donnas,
and they offer tivery inducement for happi¬
ness to come and live there, but happiness
will not come. They send footmanned and
postilioned equipage to bring her. She
will Dot ride to their door. They send

arches. She will not ride under,them.
plate. They set, a golden throne before a, golden
She turns away from the banquet.
They call to her from upholstered balcony.
She will not listen. Mark you, this is the
failure of those who have had large accum¬
ulation.
And then you must take into considera¬
tion that the vast majority of those who
make the dominant idea of life money get¬
ting fall far short of affluence. It is esti-
mated that only about two out of a hun¬
dred business men have anything worthy
the name of success. A man who spends
his life with one dominant idea of
accumulation spends a life not worth liv¬
ing.
So the idea of worldly approval. If that
be dominant in a man’s life he is miserable.
Evetty four years the two most unfortunate
meniin this country are the two men nom¬
inated for the Presidency. The reservoirs
of abuse and diatrtbe and malediction
,gradually fill up, gallon above gallon, hogs¬
head : above hogshead, and about midsum¬
mer these two reservoirs will be brimming
lull, and ft hose will be attached to each
.one, and it will play away on these two
-n,, minees, and they will have to stand it

•from ocean to ocean. yet there are a
Hundred met to-day (struggling thousands for that
privilege, and there arc. of men
who ,are helping them in the struggle.
Now, that is n®t a life worth living. You
can get slandered and abused cheaper than
that. Take it ok a smaller scale. Do not
he no ambitious to have a whole reservoir
rolled over on you.
But what you see in the matter of high
political preferment you see ill every com¬
munity in tile struggle for what is called
social position. Tens of thousands of peo¬
ple trying to get into that realm, /ind thev
are uuder terrific tension. What is social
position? It is a difficult thing to define,
hut we all know what it is. Good morals
and intelligence are not necessary, but
wealth, or a show of wealth, is absolutely
Indispensable. There are men to-day as
notorious for their libertinism as the night
la famous for its darkness who move In
what is called high social position. There
are hundreds of out and out rakes in
American society whose names are men¬
tioned among the distinguished guests at
the great levees. They have annexed all
tho known vlees and are longing for other
worlds of diabolism to conquer. Good
morals are not necessary in many of the ex¬
alted elides of society.
Neither is intelligence necessary. You
find lu that realm men who would not know
an adverb from an adjective if they met it
a hundred times In a day, and who could
not vnrite a letter of acceptance or regrets
without the aid of a secretary. They buy
their libraries by the square yard, only
anxious to havo the binding Russian. Their
ignorance is positively sublime, making
English grammar almost disreputable. And
yet the finest parlors open before them.
Good morals and intelligence are not neces¬
sary, but wealth or a snow of wealth is
positively indispensable. It does not make
any difference how you got your wealth, if
you only got it. The best way for you to
get into social position is for you to buy a
large amount on credit, then put your
property preferred in creditors, your wife’s and name, then make have an a few
as¬
signment. Then disappear from the com¬
back munity until the breeze is over and come
and start in the same business. Do
you not see how beautifully that will put
out all the people who are in competition
with you and trying to make an honest liv¬
ing? How quickly it will get you into high
social position? What is the use of toiliug
forty or fifty years when you can by two or
three bright strokes make a great fortune?
Ah, my friends, when you really lose your
money how quickly they will let you drop,
and the higher you get the harder you will
drop.
There are thousands to-day in that realm
who are anxious to keep in it. There are
thousands in that realm who are nervous
for fear they will fall out of it, and there
are changes going on every year, and every
month, and every hour which involve heart¬
breaks that are never reported. High so¬
cial life is constantly in a flutter about the
delicate question as to whom they shall let
in and whom they shall push out, and the
battle is going on—pier mirror against pier
mirror, chandelier against chandelier,wine
cellar against wine cellar, wardrobe against
wardrobe, equipage against equipage. Un¬
certainty and insecurity dominant in that
realm, wretchedness enthroned, torture at
a premium and a life not worth living!
A life of sin, a life of pride, a life of in¬
dulgence, a life of worldliness, a life de¬
voted to the world, the flesh and the devil,
is a failure, a dead failure, an infinite
failure. I care not how many presents you
send to that cradle or liow many garlands
you send to that grave, you need to put
right under the name on the tombstome
this inscription: ‘‘Better for that man if he
had never been born.”
But I shall show you a life that is worth
living. A young man says: “I am here.
I am not responsible for my ancestry.
Others decided that. I am not responsible for
my temperament. God gave me that. But
here I am in the evening of the nineteenth
century, at twenty years of age. I am
here, and I must take an account of stock,
Here I have a body, which is a divinely con¬
structed engine. I must put it to the very
best uses, and I must allow nothing to
damage this rarest of machinery. Two
feet, and they mean locomotion. Two
eyes, and they mean Two capacity to pick out
my own way. ears, and they are tel¬
ephones of communication with all the out¬
side world, and they mean capacity to
catch the sweetest music and the voices of
friendship—the very best music. A tongue,
with almost infinity of articulation. Yes,
hands with which to welcome or resist or
lift or smite or wave or bless-hands to
helv myself and help others.
‘‘Here is a world which after 6000 years of
battling with tempest and accident is still
grander than any architect, human or an¬
gelic, could have drafted. I have two
lamps to light me—a golden lamp and a
silver lamp—a golden lamp set on the
sapphire mantel of the day, a silver lamp
set on the jet mantel of the night. Yea, I
have that at twenty of age which defies all
inventory of valuables—a soul with capac¬
ity to choose or reject, to rejoice or to
suffer, to love or to hate. Plato says it is
immortal. Seneca says it is immortal.
Confucius says it is immortal. An old
book among the family relics, a book with
leathern cover almost worn out and pages
almost obliterated by oft perusal, joins the
other books in saying I am immortal. 1
have eighty years for a lifetime, sixty years
yet to live. I may not live an hour, but
then I must lay out my plans intelligently
and for a long life. Sixty years added
to the twenty I have already lived—that
will bring me to eighty. I must remember
that these eighty years are only a brief
preface to the five hundred thousand mill¬
ions of quintiilions of years which will be
iny chief residence and existence. Now, I
understand my opportunities and my re¬
sponsibilities, If there is any being in the
universe ail wise and all beneficent who can
a man in such a I want him.”
The young man enters life. He is buf¬
feted, he is tried he is perplexed. A grave
opens on this side and a grave opens on
that side. Ho falls, but he rises again. He
gets into a hard battle, but lie gets the vic¬
tory. The main course of his life is in the
right direction. He blesses everybody he
comes in contact with. God forgives his
mistakes and makes everlasting record of
his holy endeavors, and at the close of it
God says to him; “Well done, good and
faithful servant.. Enter into the joy of thy
Lord.” My brother, my sister, I do not
care whether that man dies at 30, 40, 50, 60,
70 or 80 years of age; you can chisel right
under his name on the tombstone these
words, “His life was worth living."
Amid the hills of New Hampshire, in
olden times, there sit.? a mother. There are
six children in the Household—four boys
and two girls. Small farm. Very rough,
hard work to coax a li ving out of it. Mighty
tug to make the two ends of the year meet.
The boys go to school in winter and work
the farm in summer. Mother is the chief
presiding spirit. With her hands she knits
all the stockings for the little feet, and she
is the mantua maker for the boys, and she
is the milliner for the girls. There is only
one musical instrument in the house, the
spinning wheel. The food is very plain,
but it is always well provided. The winters
are very cold, but are kept out by the
blankets she quilted. On Sunday, when
.she appears in the village ehureli, her
children around her, the minister looks
down and is reminded of the Bible descrip¬
tion of a good housewife. “Her Children
arise up and £all her blessed; her husband
also, and he praiseth her.”
Some years go by, and the two oldest
boys want a collegiate education, and the
household economies are severer., and the
calculations are closer, and until those two
boys get their 'education there is a hard
battle for bread. -One of these boys enters
the university, stands in a pulpit widely in¬
fluential and preaches righteousness, judg¬
ment and temperance, and thousands dur¬
ing his ministry are blessed. The other lad
who got the collegiate education goes into
the law, a-nd thence into legislative halls,
and after awhile he commands listening
senates as he makes a plea for the down¬
trodden and the outcast. One of the
younger ing the boys becomes ladder, a merchant, start¬
at foot of the but climbing
on up until his success and his philanthro¬
pies are recognized all over the land. The
other son stays at home because he prefers,
farming life, and then he thinks he will be
able to lake care of father and mother
when they get old.
Of the two daughters, when the war
broke out, one went through the hospitals
of Pittsburg Landing and Fortress Monroe,
cheering up the dying and the homesick
and taking tho last message to kindred far
her he so that every time Christ thought of
and said, as of old: “The same is my sis¬
mother.” The other daughter has
bright home of her ow r n, and in the after¬
her household—she forenoon having been devoted
goes forth to hunt
the sick and to encourage’ the diacour-
aged, leaving smiles and benediction all
along the way.
But one day there start five telograms
from the village for these five absent ones,
saying, “Come, mother is dangerously ill,”
But before they can be ready to start they
receive another telegram, saying, “Come,
mother is dead." Tho old neighbors gather
in tho old farmhouse to do the last office of
respect. But as the farming son and the
clergyman, chant and the Senator and the mer¬
and the two daughters stand by tho
casket of the dead mother taking the last
look, or lifting their little children to see
oneo more the face of dear old grandma, I
want to ask that group around the casket
one question, “Do you really think Iter life
was worth living?” A life for God, a life for
others, a life of unselfishness, a useful lifo,
a Christian life, is always worth living.
I would not find It hard to persuade you
that the poor lad, Peter Cooper, making
glue for a living, and then amassing a great
fortune until he could build a philanthropy
which has had its echo in 10.000 philan¬
thropies all over the country—I would not
find it hard to persuade you that his life
was worth living. Neither would I find it
hard to persuade you that the life of Sus¬
annah Wesley was worth living. She sent
out one son to organize Methodism and the
other son to ring his anthems all through the
ages. I would not find it hard work to
persuade you that the life of
Frances Leore was worth living, ns
she established in England a school for the
scientific nursing of the sick, and then
when the war broke out between Franco
and Germany went to the front ami with her
own hands scraped the mud off the bodies
of the soldiers dying in the trenches and
with her weak arm—standing one night in
the hospital—pushing back a German sol¬
dier to his couch, as, all frenzied with his
wounds, he rushed to the door and said,
“Let me go, let me go to my liebe mutter,”
—major generals standing back to let pas3
this ,angel of mercy.
Neither would I have hard work to per¬
suade you that Grace Darling lived a life
worth living—the heroine of the lifeboat.
You are not wondering that the Duchess of
Northumberland came to see her and that
people of all lands asked for her lighthouse
and that the proprietor of the Adelphi
theatre in London offered her $100 a night
just to sit in the lifeboat while some ship¬
wreck scene was being enacted.
But I know the thought in the minds of
hundreds of you to-day. You say, “While I
know ail these lived lives worth living, I
don’t think my life amounts to much.” Ah,
my friends, whether yon live a life conspic¬
uous if or inconspicuous, it is worth living,
you live aright. And I want my next
sentence to go down into file depths of
all your souls. You are to be rewarded
not according to the greatness of your
work, but according to the holy industries
with which you employed the talents you
really possessed, The majority of the
crowns of heaven will not be given to peo¬
ple with ten talents, for mast of them were
tempted only to serve themselves. The
vast majority of the crowns of heaven will
be given to the people who had one talent,
but gave it all to God. And remember that
our life here is introductory to another. It is
the vestibule ton palace, i»ut who despises
the door of a Madeleine because there are
grander glories within? Your lifo, if
rigidly lived, is the first bar of an eternal
oratorio, and who despises the first note of
Haydn’s is symphonies? And the life you
live now all the more worth living be¬
cause it opens into a life that shall never
end, and the last letter of the word “time”
is the first letter of the word “eternity!”
WHEAT CROP SITUATION.
Estimated Deficiency of 14,000,000 Quar¬
ters in the World’s Supply.
The Mark Lane Express, of London, re¬
viewing the crop situation, says:
“The weather ha3 been adverse to the
completion of the harvest, and the quau-
titv of grain stiil out is considerable.
“The French wheat crop is estimated at
31,090,000 quarters by the chief writers of
the Paris press. Correspondents of Eng¬
lish business firms state that the crop will
amount to from 33,000.000 to 38,000,000
quarters. The Austro-Hungarian crop is
stated t’o be 17.000,000 quarters. If this is
true, it "adds greatly to the gravity of the
situation.
“The American crop is reckoned by care¬
ful judges to be 83,500,000 quarters, or 11,-
000,000 quarters improvement, to offset a
decline of 9,000,000 quarters in Russia and
6,000,000 to 10,000,000 quarters in France.
“All the figures point, therefore, to a de¬
ficiency in the world’s supply of 14,000,000
quarters. Should the demaud be actually
as large as this, the stores of old wheat will
be used up, and a crisis of great serious¬
ness will only be prevented by generally
good prospects for the spring of 1893. Wo
tiro not, however, entitled to argue that
such prospects will be more than the aver¬
age.’’
STUDENTS’ AWFUL CRUELTY.
A Horrible Hazing Episode at the Uni¬
versity of California.
There will be no more “rushes” at the
University of California if President Kel¬
logg's latest mandate is exercised.
Half dazed, his jaw broken, his face tv
bleeding mass, Benjamin Kurtz, a newly
elected freshman, was found wandering
about the campus after the rush between
the two lower classes. In the struggle
some one put he his heel on Kurtz's face,"and
as a result is disfigured for life and may
have sustained injury of the brain. An ex¬
amination showed that a piece of flesh had
been torn from one nostril. The upper lip
hung only by a shred and the rpggod na¬
ture of the scar made the injury all the
more serious. The front teeth were gone.
Four teeth had been knocked out of tho
lower jawbone, in which they had been em¬
bedded, and part of tho bone was broken
•out with th 031 .
Both the tipper and lower jaws were
smashed and tho flesh of all the face
crushed and bleeding. There were two
other serious casualties.
HER SPECIALTY IS TWiNS.
A Colored Wife, Under Eighteen, Has
Given Birth to Four Fairs.
Not yet eighteen years old and the moth¬
er of four pairs of twins!
This is the record made by Pearly Brad¬
ford, a colored woman of East St. Louis,
III. The remarkable young mother asked
Dr. Woods, Supervisor of the Poor, for
food to keep herself and children from
starving. She has been a resident of East
St. Louis five years, she says, having come
.there from New Orleans, where her hus¬
band is now trying to get employment.
All but three of her children are dead. The
live ones are healthful und strong, though
quite young".

WHY SO MANY REGULAR PHYSICIANS FAIL
To Cure Female Ills—-Some True Reasons Why
Mrs. Pinkham is More Successful Than
the Family Doctors. V

to her family physician and tells him a
story, but not the whole story.

mystifies the doctor.
Is it any wonder, therefore, that .■ -..
the doctor fails to cure the disease? CmStSSoWtiil
Still, we cannot blame the wo- W
man. foritisveryerubarrassing /jBaMpSa M
to detail some of the symp- toX Jw&fyjsjl sj t
toms of her suffering, even #
her family physician.
It was for this reason that
years ago Mrs. Lydia F. Pink-
ham, at Lynn, Mass., determined to step in andhelpher sex. Havinghad consid¬
erable experience in treating female ills with her Vegetable Compound, she en¬
couraged the women of America to write to her for advice in regard to their
complaints, and, being a woman, it was easy for her ailing sisters to pour into
her ears every detail of their suffering.
In this way she was able to do for them what the physicians were unable
to do, simply because she had the proper information to work upon, and
from the little group of women who sought her advice years ago a great
army of her fellow-beings are to-day constantly applying for advice and re¬
lief, and the fact that more than one hundred thousand of them have been
successfully treated by Mrs. Pinkham during the last year is indicative of
the grand results which are produced by her unequaled experience and
training.
No physician in the world has hacl such a training, or has such an amount
of information at hand to assist in the treatment of all kinds of female ills,
from the simplest local irritation to the most complicated diseases of the womb.
This, therefore, is the reason why Mrs. Pinkham, in her laboratory at
Lynn, Mass., is able to do more for the ailing women of America than the
family physician. Any woman, therefore, is responsible for her own suffering
who will not take the trouble to write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
The testimonials which we are constantly publishing from grateful women
establish beyond a doubt the power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com¬
pound to conquer female diseases.
