REV. DR. TALMAGF, THE NOTED DIVINE’S SUN¬ DAY DISCOURSE. Duties of Men Toward Their Suffering Brethren of the Pronent Generation— Clothing of the Soul Should Keep Pace With That of tho Physical Wants of Man Text: “David after he had served h1° own sleep," generation bvthe will W ' of 01 God U ° a ’ fell 1011 on ou Acts ' xlii ' ’’ 26 * . - .y w 1 has for a . long time * » a " nln i J through my mind.

Thero are about four generations to a century, now; but in olden- time life was longer, and there was, per- naps, only one generation to a contury. raking these facts into the calculation, I ake a rough guess and say that there nave been at least 180 generations of the utnan family. "With reference to them wo \ave no responsibility. We cannot teach tnom, we cannot correct their mistakes, we cnimoc soothe their sorrows, we cannot heal tneir wounds. i n j i ITllt * Kl ^ * am * _ n sympathy with the enthi whose father had suddenly died, and who, in her little evening prayer, wanted to continue to pray forherfather, although lie had gone into heaveii and no more needed her prayers, and looking up into her mother s face, said: ‘Oil, mother, I ? a P not laa v« him all out. Let me say, innnk , God that I had a good father once, so I can keep him in my prayers.” ’ But the 180 generations have passed off. Passed up. Passed down. Gone forever. Then there are generations to come after our earthly existence has ceased; we shall not see them; we shall n6t hoar any of thoir voices; we will take no part in their convo- cations, their elections, their revolutions, their catastrophes, their triumphs, ffe will in nowise affect tho 180 generations gone or the 180 generations to come. But our business is, like David, to servo our those own generation; the people now living, whose lungs now breathe and whose hearts now beat. And, mark you, it is not a silent procession, but moving. It is a forced march,’ at twenty-four miles a day, each hour being a mile. Going with that colenty. it has got to bo a quick service on our part or no service at all. “Well, now let us look around earnest- ly, prayerfully, in a common-sense way, and see what we can do for ourgenerailon, First of all, let us seo to it that, as far as we can they have enough to eat The human body is so constituted that three times a day a body needs food as ranch as a lamp needs oil, as much as a locomotive needs fuel. To meet this want God has girdled the earth with apple orchards, otange groves, wheat fields, and oceans full of fish, and prairies full of cattle. And notwithstanding this. I will undertake to say that the vast majority of the human family are suffering either for lack of food or the right kind of food. Our civiliza- tlon is all askew, and God only can sot it right. Many of the greatest estates of to- duy have been built out of the blood and bones of uniequited toil. Don t sit down at your table wits five or six courses of abundant supply and think nothing of that family in the next street who would take any one of those five courses between soup and almond nuts and feel they were in heaven. Tno lack of the right kind of food is tlie cause of much of the drunkenness. After drinking what many of onr grocers call coffee, sweetened with what many call sugar, and eating what; , many of , our ... butchers call ,, meat, and cliew-ng wnat many of our bakers call bread, many of the laboring classes into feel so miserable they are tempted tobacconist to put calls their nasty pipes vrliat the to- bacco, or go into the drinking saloons for what the rumsellers call beer. Good coffee would do much in driving out rum. How can wo servo our generation with enough to eat?” By sitting down in era- broidered slippers aud lounging baok .n an arm chair, our mouth puckered brand, and up through around a Havana of the best clouds of luxur. ant smoke reading about political economy and the philosophy of strikes. No! No. By finding out who in this city bas been living on gristle, and sending them a tenderloin beefsteak. Seek out some family who, through sickness or conjunction of misfortune have not enough to eat, and do for them what Christ did for the hungry multitudes of Asia Minor, inul- tiplyiug tho loaves aud tho fishes. Let us quit the surfeiting of ourselves until we cannot choke down another crumb of cake, and begin the supply of others’ neoessi- “ 0S - “It is an awful thing to ba hungry,” said the preacher. “It is an easy thing for us. to be iu good humor with all the world when we have no lack. But let hunger take full possession of us, and we would all turn into barbarians and cannibals and fiends. Suppose that some of the energy we are expending in useless and unavailing talk about tho bread question should beex- pended in mereiful alleviations. I have read that the battlefield on whieh more troops met than on any other in the world’s history was the battlefield of Leip- sie—160,000 men under Napoleon; No! Noi 250,009 men under Schwarzeberg. The greatest and most terrific battle is now be¬ ing fought all the world over. It is the struggle for food. The ground tone of the finest passage ijj oneof the great musical masterpieces, the artist says, was suggest¬ ed to him by the cry of tho hungry popu¬ lace of Vienna, as.the King rode through and they shouted: ‘Bread! Give ns bread!’ And all through the great harmonies of musical academy and cathedral I hoar the the pathos, the ground tone, tho tragedy of uncounted multitudes, who, with stream¬ ing eyes and wan checks aud broken families, hearts, in behalf of themselves .and their are pleading for bread. “Let us take another look around to see how we may serveour generation. Lotus see, as far as possible, that they have enongii to wear.” The preacher dilated upon the curse of drunkenness and idleness, oausing the maelstrom that has swallowed down the livelihood of those who are in rage. But things will change, and by generosity ou the part of the crowded wardrobes, and in¬ dustry and sobriety on the party of the empty wardrobes, there will be enough for all to wear. part toward the dress¬ “God has done His ing of tho human race.

And if we, like David, serve our generation, we will at life's close have most desirable and refreshing sleep, In it will vanish our last fatigue of body, onr last worriment of mind, ourlast sorrow of soul. To the Christian’s body that was hot with raging fevers, so that the attend- ants must iiy slieer force keep on the blank- ets, it will be the cool sleep.

What palace It is this? Why, this looks like heaven! is; it is. Why, there is a building grander than all the castles of earth heaved into a moun¬ tain of splendor—that must be the palace of Jesus.

I look out of the window this way and that, and up and down, and I find it is a mansion of immense size in which I am stopping. All its windows of agate and its colonnades of porphyry and alabaster. Why, I wonder if this is not the “House of many Mansions” of which I used to read? It is; it is. There must be many of my kindred and friends in this very mansion. Hark! Whose are those voices? Whose are those bounding feet? I open tho door and seo, and lo! they are coming through all the corridors and up and down all tho stairs, our long-absent kindred.

And as all are making obeisance to this great one of heaven, I cry out, “Who is he?” and the answer comes: "This is the greatest of all the Kings; it is David, who, after he had served his generation by the will of God, fell on sleep.” ’ ” Electrocuted by a Telephone Wire. A rope with a loop in tho free end left dangling over the street from a telephone wire in Easton, Md., caught a button on a carriage which was being driven up the street and, wrenching the top from the vehicle, threw out a woman who was riding in it. She was severely injured and died in the house to which she was taken. Horse Market Improving:. The horse market is improving by expor- tations to Europe at the rate of 2000 horses a month.

The -withdrawal from private con¬ trol of a large number of convicts opens the way to the Commissioners of many Georgia counties to begin the much needed and long neglected work of improving the ‘public roads. Em¬ ployed judiciously and systematically in this way, the conviots can be made to pay a far greater revenue in the long run than has been derived from them by the old leases and the bene¬ fits to the State in general will bo in¬ calculable. —Atlanta Journnl. Steel Trackways on Wagon Roads. The Washington Star says: “In accordance with the desire of the Secre¬ tary of Agriculture to promote more extended experiments in the use of steel traokways on wagon roads, the offioe of road inquiry has made ar¬ rangements with tho Cambria Iron Works, of Johnstown, Penn., for roll¬ ing special rails for this purpose, these arrangements to go into effect as soon as definite orders from responsible parties amounting to one mile of track are received. The first order for track has been given by the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station.” Don’t Blame the Weather. Don’t blame the wet season for the condition of many of your roads. See that your candidates for local offices favor good roads, and then supply them with the information that will enable them to know how to get and keep them. Most people are all at sea on these subjects. The heavy rains of tho summer have given startling ob¬ ject-lessons to road-builders and Super¬ intendents in some sections of the country. Hoads that were nearly fiat and which lacked proper drainage were swept over by the water. In some spots the surface was torn away; in others it was covered with stones and earth. This did not happen where roads were suitably crowned and drained.—L. A. W. Bulletin. Who Ar© Benefited? Transportation over the common roads is the only method of moving persons and commodities that has not advanced with the times. Steam rail- way service has been vastly improved by bettor road-beds, rolling stock and management; electricity has super- seded horse-power in the streets; vehicles of all kinds have become lighter and better, but the common roads, which really feed all the others and are the basis of all transportation, have been overlooked and neglected, Since we have begun to emulate our cousins across the pond in their in¬ terest in out-of-door sports, during the last few years, attention has been called to the condition of our high¬ ways, and measures for their improve¬ ment have been inaugurated in many sections. Until now few persons have realized how deeply the condition of the highways affected the whole com- munity; but the farmer sees that good roads reduce the cost of producing and marketing his crops; the merchant re- ceives the produce more regularly, more quickly, and in better condition; the truckman can haul twice as big a load with less wear and tear and pro¬ fanity; the commercial mau saves time and money in his across-country trips; the railroads receive more stuff to carry when it is easy and cheap to bring it to them; the consumer gets his goods at reduced cost, which means lessened living expenses; tho tourist, whether pedestrian, horseman, driver or cyclist, has his field broad¬ ened and the possibilities for pleasur¬ able recreation indefinitely increased, and tho valuo of all property on them is materially advanced.—L. A. W. Bulletin. Good Ilonds in Prussia. There is in Prussia and in the other States a corps of educated, highly- trained State employees who have mado roads their profession, and they know their business. Constant repair is one main reason for the condition of the German roads. Comprehensive and minute regulations are strictly en¬ forced. In some provinces the village mayor is held strictly responsible for the good condition of all the roads in his district except the State roads. The work of repair iB constant and tho labor is constantly supervised. Another main reason why the build¬ ing of roads is carried out honestly is the virtual absence of temptation to do otherwise. The laws are very strict and violations are severely punished by fine and imprisonment. There are three kinds of highways— the provincial, tho Kries and the Ge- mein do Wege. The former two are those whose building and maintenance rests on the shoulders of the provincial or district representative bodies. All the rest are communal or private roads, and the same strict regulations apply to them as to the provincial roads. In Prussia alono $11,000,000 per annum is paid out of the public funds for the maintenance of roads, and this does not inolude the moneys expend¬ ed by individual communes and by private companies and individuals. On the highest grade of public roads it is forbidden to use them for vehi¬ cles with protruding wheel nails, screws, spokes or otherwise objection¬ able gear. The horseshoes must be of a particular kind. Heavy loads may not pass over the roads without spe- oial permission. The tolls exacted on the German roads, though at one time generally imposed, are now small and infre¬ quent. As the maintenance of the roads is fixed by specifio laws and regulations, so too are the conditions of constructing new roads.—New York Post. A Finnish Fish Story. Finland appears to be a paradise for fishermen. One skillful native fisherman caught in five days 674 pounds of salmon and grayling. He is said onee to have caught with tho rod 1600 pounds of fish in ts,v« e weeks. ANNUAL LOSS BY FIRE, (t Has Been Very Much Reduced by Im¬ proved Methods of Fighting Fire. Mr. Charles T. Hill, the artist, who has been writing a scries of papers for St. Nicholas on the New York Fire Department, has a final paper on "The Fire Patrol.” Mr. Hill says; The annual loss by fire in the United States amounts to one hundred mil¬ lions of dollars, and fully one-half of this loss Is caused by the water used in extinguishing the fires. Before the introduction, in 1872, of controlling or shut-off nozzles used on the fire-hose, the percentage of loss by water was even greater—at least two-thirds of the total loss. Previous to the intrudue- tion of this much-needed device, there was used what was known as an‘‘open pipe,” a plain open nozzle, with no contrivance for shutting oft the waat.er. When it was necessary to shut off, the order had to be pased to the engineer, sometimes a long distance from the fire; and unless the nozzles could be thrust from a convenient window, the water would go pouring out, spread¬ ing destruction in all directions. In small fires, especially In “up stairs” fires in private dwellings, or in busi- ness houses stocked with perishable goods, such as feathers, silks, etc., the unnecessary destruction of property was very great. To-day, fires are fought much more scientifically, and with a great deal more system, than were -those of ten or twenty years ago; and officers in command of engine companies are usu¬ ally very careful not to use any more water than is absolutely necessary. Nearly every hose-wagon In the New York Fire Department to-day carries three sizes of hose—the regulation size, 1 % inch, used at all ordinary fires;3- inch (known as“third-alarm hose,” and only used at fires of considerable magnitude), and a small hose carried on a reel under the wagon. This hose is l 1 /? inches in diameter, and very easy to handle, and on account of the ease with which any number of lengths of it can be carried about, it Is that oftenest used at small fires In dweil- jng-houses, office-buildings, and flats, Wilh a controlling nozzle on the end, the fireman can das li up several flights 0 f jgairs and into a bedroom or closet, an( i extinguish a small fire before it has time t0 g p re ad, using the water on iy where it is absolutely needed, rp Q dra g (be regulation size (it weighs about eighty pounds to the length) up aU( j around winding stairways, etc., would take much longer, and perhaps g; ve a g re tj mG to get just beyond the point of easy control; besides, when the water is finally started, a great deal more is used by this hose than is necessary, especially in the case of a ' small fire. It has been practically demonstrated that a considerable amount of fire can be extinguished with a small amount of water applied effectlve i yj and the use of the small hoge ha s done much to reduce the damage by water at fires in dwellings an( j flats A Wooden State.
