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.

THE CHIEF THING In Maintain'd na Good Health is Pure, Rich, Nourishing Blood. The blood carries nourishment and furn¬ ishes support for the organs, nerves and muscles. It must be made rich and pure if you would have strong nerves, good digestion, sound sleep, or if you would bo rid of that tired feeling, those dis¬ agreeable pimples, eczema, or scrofula.

The Different I.Ives Men Lend—Why Some Are Successful nnd Others Full—A Life of Sin nuil Worldly Indulgence is n Eire Failure—Tho life Worth Living. 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 princely escort. She will not take their phal arm. They make their gateways trium¬ 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 •and take the abuse and the falsehood, and rthe caricature and the anathema, and the ■caterwauling and the filth, and they will 'he rolled,in it and rolled over and over in ’ft until -they are choked and submerged uind-strangutated, and at every siga of re¬ turning consciousness they will be barked :at by all the hounefc And of political parties •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". Mrs. Bradford is very black. Sho will not be eighteen years old, she, says, until November 25 next, and is again approach¬ ing motherhood. She was married when a child. Dr.. AVoods made a careful investigation into the statements made by Mrs. Brad¬ ford and found them to be correct and the woman honest and truthful. Not Young. Hut They Married. Isaac Selover, seventy-four years old, a widower and a wealthy farmer of Spotts- wood, N- J., and Miss Mary Phillips, a spinster, sixty years old, have just been married. Selover lived with his son, a married man, forty years old, but it is said that he and his son did not agree, So lie thought he would get married again, and Miss Phillips agreed to become his wife. His children svereopposed to the marriage, but Selover insisted that he knew his own business. Mutineers Kill Fifty-Nine Men. A mutiny Jias occurred among tho troops of th,e Congo Free State in the Toro Dis¬ trict of Africa. The mutineers, it is said, killed fifty-nine Belgian officers and men and destroyed ail "the forts, committing depredations right and loll? Inactivity. "But I thought your husband was such an active man?” "Active! If it weren’t for rue, I don’t believe he’d get up in time to go to bed. ” "Ah, well, that’s better than some husbands, you know, who scarcely go to bed in time to got up.”—Harper’s Bazar. WHY SO MANY REGULAR PHYSICIANS FAIL To Cure Female Ills—-Some True Reasons Why Mrs. Pinkham is More Successful Than the Family Doctors. V A is sick disease peculiar toher sr woman ; some sex is fast developing in her system. She goes to her family physician and tells him a story, but not the whole story. becomes Sheholdssomethingbaek, agitated, forgets wbat losesherhead, she wants “ 1 m M to say, and finally conceals what she j m m ought to have told, and thus completely I \ Msstt 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.
