REDEEMING old bills.
Curfency Sent to the Treasury Sometimes
in Bad Condition.
Speaking about the fumigation of
old bills which arrive at the Treasury
Department from the New Orleans
Sub-Treasury, Assistant Treasurer
Mellne said to a Star reporter to-day
that this was absolutely necessary for
the protection of the clerks who han¬
dle this old currency.
“These clerks,” said Major Mellne,
<( "are constantly exposed to danger in
the handling and counting of old cur-
rency. Sometimes the smell of these
old bills is nauseating. I don’t re-
member, however, a case where any
clerk has ever been attacked by a dis¬
ease from the handling of this money.
This may be due to the fact that every
precaution is taken. Whenever money
has come here from points infected by
contagious diseases it has always been
fumigated. The clerks frequently
wash their hands with disinfecting
soaps and take other precautions, I
consider that they have been remark¬
ably fortunate.”
There have been cases at the Treas¬
ury of money sent in for redemption
in a terrible state, In several in-
stances this money has been taken
from the bodies of people found mys¬
teriously murdered. The bodies lay
for weeks or months without discovery
until the clothng which contained the
money would be alive with putrid mat¬
ter. Money thus discovered is not
handled by the authorities, hut rushed
to the Treasury for redemption. It is
sometimes in such condition that the
cdor is almost unbearable. This is on¬
ly one of many instances of a similar
nature. Dogs and goats which swal¬
low money are often killed, dissected
and the remnants of the money sent to
the Treasury for redemption.
This is the time of the year when
money hidden away in stoves is dam¬
aged by forgetful owners starting fires.
They pick up what is left and send it
here.—Washington Star.

The Chrlfttlan Home and What It Should
Bo—A Powerful Test of Character-
Various Moaning* of Home—Can lie
Made the Brightest Place on Barth
Text: “Go home to thy Lord friends hath and toll
them how great things the done
for thee,” Mark v., 19.
There are a great many in people longing
for some grand sphero which to nerve
God. They adin(ro Luther at the Diet of
Worms, nnd only wish that thoy had some
such great opportunity in which They to display admire
their Christian prowess.
Paul making l’clix tremble, and they only
wish that they had some such grand oc¬
casion In which and to judgment preach righteousness, to ail
temperance only opportunity come; to exhibit
they want is an
their Christian heroism. Now the evange¬
list comes to us, nnd he practically says:
“I will show you a place where beautiful, von can
exhibit all that Is grand, and and
glorious, in Christian character, and that
is the domestic circle.”
If one is not faithful in nn insignificant
sphere he will not be faithful in a resound¬
ing sphere. If Peter will not help the
cripple at the gate of the temple, he will
never be able to preach three thousand
souls Into the kingdom at the Pentecost.
If Paul will not take pains to instruct in
the way of salvation the jailer of make the Felix Phil¬
ippian dungeon, he will n<ver
tremble. He who is not faithful in a skir¬
mish would not he faithful in an Armaged¬
don. The fact is, we are all placed in just
the position in which we can most grandly
serve God; and we ought not to be chiefly
thoughtful about some sphere of useful-
nes which we may after a while gain, but
the all-absorbing question with you and
with me ought to be: “Lord, what wilt
Thou have me now nnd here to do?”
There is one word in my text around
which the most of our thoughts will this
morning revolve. That word is “Home.”
Ask ten different men the meaning of that
word, and they will give you ten different
definitions. To one it means love at the
hearth, it means workstand, plenty at intelligence the table, in¬
dustry at the at

it means a greeting at the door and a smile
at the chair. Peace hovering like wings.

their Irritability, and their petulance, and
their discontent; but at night-fall tho dam

The reason men do not display their bad
temper in public is because they do not
want to be knocked down. There are men
who hide their petulance ami their irrita¬
bility just for the same reason that they do
not let their notes go to protest. It does
not pay. Or for the same reason that they
do not want a man in their stock company
to sell his stock at less than the right price,
lest it depreciate the value. As at some¬

Now, that man
and who is irritable in private is making ho a
fraudulent overissue of stock, and is as
bad as a bank that might have bills four in or five
hundred thousand dollars of circu¬
lation with no specie in the vault. Let us
learn to show piety at home. If we have it
not there, we have it not anywhere. If we
have not genuine grace in the family circle,
all our outward and public plausibility
merely springs from a fear of the world or
from the slimy, putrid pool of our own sel¬
fishness. I tell you the home is a mighty
test of character. What you are at home
you are everywhere, whether you demon¬
strate it or not.
Again, I remark that home is a refuge.
Life is the United States army on the na¬
tional road to Mexico, a long march with
ever and anon a skirmish and a battle. At
eventide we pitch our tent and stack the
arms, we hang up the war cap and Jay our
head on the knapsack, we sleep until the
morning bugle calls us to marching and
action. How pleasant it is to rehearse the
victories, and the surprises, and the at¬
tacks of the day. seated by the sti.ll camp¬
fire of the home circle!
There is the place where we may talk of
what we have done without being charged
with self-adulation. Thero is the place
where we may lounge without being thought
ungraceful. Tfiere is the place where we
may express affection without being
thought silly. There is the place where we
may forgot our annoyances, and exaspera¬
tions, and ‘ troubles. Forlorn earth pil¬
grim! no home? Then die. That is better.
The grave is brighter, and grander, and
more glorious than this world with no
tent for marchings, with no harbor from
the storm, witli no place of rest from this
scene of greed, and gouge, and loss, and
gain. God pity the man or the woman who
lias no home.
Further, I remark, that home is a politi¬
cal safeguard. The safety of of the the home. State
must be built on the safety
Why cannot France come to a placid threat re¬
public? Ever and anon there is a of
National capsize. France as a nation has
not the right kind of a Christian home.
The Christian hearthstone is the only cor¬
ner-stone for a republic. The virtues absolute cul¬
tured in the family circle are an
necessity for the State. If there be not
enough moral principle to make the family
adhere, there will not be enough political
principle to make the State adhere. “No
home” means the Goths and Vandals,
means the Nomads of Asia, means the
Numideans of Africa, changing from happens place
to place, according as the pasture
to change. Confounded be all those Babels
of iniquity which would overtower and de¬
stroy the home. The same storm that up¬
sets the ship in which the family sails will
sink the frigate of the constitution. Jails
and penitentiaries and armies and navies are
not our best defense. The door of tho home
is the best fortress.
Further, I remark, that home is a school.
Old ground must be turned up with sub¬
soil plow, and it must be harrowed and re-
harrowed, and then the crop will not be as
large as that of tho new ground with less
culture. Now. youth and childhood are
new ground, and-ill th* influences thrown
over their heart ii/id life will come up in

ifivea a smile of approbation, all the qoofl
elieer of your life will eoraeup again imho

of am;er and every mtoontrola-
hie display of indignation will be fuel to
their disposition twenty, or thirty, or forty
years from now—fuel for a bad ilru a quar-
ter of a century from this.
Oh, make your home the brightest place
on earth, if you would eharm your chil¬
dren to tile high path of virtue, and recti¬
tude, and religion. Do not always turn
the blinds the wrong way. Let the light
which puts gold on the gentian and spots
tho pansy pour into your dwellings. Do
not expect the little feet to keep step to u
dead march. Do not cover up your walls
with such pictures as West’s “Death on a
l'alo Horse,” or Tintoretto’s “Massacre of
tho Innocents.” llather cover them, if you
have pictures, with “The Hawking Party,”
and “The Mill by tho Mountain .Stream.”
and “The Pox Hunt,” and “The Chil¬
dren Amid Flowers.” an l “The Harvest
Scene,” and “The Saturday Night Market-
lag.”
Above all, my friends, take into your
homes Christian principle. Can it l.o'tliivc
in any of tiie comfortable homes of my con¬
gregation thevolooof prayer is never lifted:'
What! No application at night for protec¬
tion? What! No tlmnksgiving in the morn¬
ing for care? How, my brother, my sister, Judgl
will you answer God in the Day of
meat, with reference to your children? It
is a plain question, and therefore I ask it.
In the tenth chapter ot Jeremiah God says
He will pour out His fury upon tiie families
that call not upon His name. O parents,
when you are dead and gone, and the moss
is covering the inscription of the tombstone,
will your children look back and think of
father and mother at family prayer? Will
they take the old family Bible and open it
and see the mark of tears of contrition and
tears of consoling promise wept by eyes
long before gone out into darkness?
Oh, if you do not inculcate Christian prin-
oipiein the hearts of your children, and
you do not warn them against evil, and you
do not Invite them to holiness and to God,
and they wander off into dissipation and
into infidelity, and at last make shipwreck
of their immortal soul, on their death-bed
and in their Day of Judgment they will
curse you. Seated by the register or the
stove, what if on the wall should come out
the history of your children? What a his¬
tory—the mortal and immortal life of your
loved ones. Every parent is writing tiie
history of his child. lie is writing it, eor%-
posing it into a song or turning it into a
groan. the best
My mind runs back to one of roof, it. of
early homes. Prayer, like a over
Peace, like an atmosphere, in it. Parents,
personifications of faith in trial and com¬
fort in darkness. The two pillars of that
earthly home long ago crumbled to dust.
But shall I ever forget that early home? Yes,
when the flower forgets tiie sun
that warms it. Yes, when the mariner for¬
gets tiie star that guided him. Yes, when
love lias gouo out of the heart’s altar
and memory lias emptied his urn into forget¬
fulness. Then, the home of my childhood,
I wii! forget thee! tiie family altar of a
father’s importunity and a mother's tender¬
ness, tiie voices of affection, the funerals of
our dead father and mother, with inter¬
locked arms like intertwining branches of
trees making a perpetual arbor will of love,
and peace, and kindness— then I for¬
get them—then and hundred only then. You know, have
my brother, that a limes you
been kept out of siu by tiie memory
of such a scene as 1 have been describing.
You have often had raging temptations,
but you know what has held you with su¬
pernatural grasp. I tell yon, a man who
has had such a good home as tiiat never
gets over it, and a man who lias had a bad
early home never gets over it.
Again, I remark, that home is a tvpe of
heaven. To bring us to that home Christ
left His home. Far up and far back in the
history of heaven there came a period
when its most illustrious citizen was about
to absent Himself. He was not going to
sail from beach to beach: we have often
done that. Ho was not going to put out
from one hemisphere to another hemis¬
phere; many of us liavo done that. But
He was to sail from worl l to world, tho
spaces unexplored ami the immensities un¬
traveled. No world had ever hailed heaven,
and so far as we know heaven had never
hailed any other world. 1 think that the
windows and the balconies were thronged,
and that the pearly beach was crowded
with those who had come to see Him saii

comes there? From whut port did He sail?
Why was this the place of his destination?
I question the shepherds, I question the
camel drivers, I question the angels. I
have found out! He was nn exile. But the
World lias had plenty of exiles—Abraham

It is ninety-live million miles from hero
to tho sun, and all astronomers agree in
saying that our solar system is only one of
the small wheels ot the great machinery of
the universe, turning round some one groat
center, tiie center so far distant it is be¬
yond all imagination and calculation, and
if, as some think, that great center in tho
distance is heaven, Christ came far from
homo when He came here. Have you ever
thought of tho homesickness of Christ?
Some of you know what homesickness is,
when you have been only a few weeks ab¬
sent from tho domestic circle. Christ was
thirty-three years away from homo. Some
of you feel homesickness miles when you are a
hundred or a thousand away from
the domestic circle. Christ was more mil¬
lions of miles away from homo than you
could calculate if ail your life you did noth¬
ing hut calculate. You know what it is
to he homesick even amid pleasurable huts,
surroundings; but Christ slept a-hungered, in
and He was athirst, nndHe was in
and He was on tho way from being born
another man’s barn to being buried iu an¬
other man's grave. I have read how the
Swiss, when they are far away from their
native country, at tho sound of their na¬
tional air get so homesick that they fall in¬
to melancholy, and sometimes they dio
under tiie homesickness. But, oh, the
homesickness of Christ! Poverty homesick
for celestial riches. Persecution homesick
for hosanna. Weariness homesick for rest.
Homesick for angelic and arehangelic com¬
panionship. Homesick to go out of the

One night lying on my lounge, when very
tired, my children all around about mo iu
full romp, and hilarity, and laughter—on
the lounge, half awake and half asleep, I
dreamed this dream: I was in a far coun¬
try. it was not Persia, although more than
Oriental luxuriance crowned the cities. It
was not the tropics, although more than
tropical fruitfulness filled the gardens. It
was not Italy, although more than Italian
softness filled tiie air. And I wandered
around looking for thorns and nettles, but
I found that none of them grew there, and
I saw the sun rise, and I watched to set; it
set, but it sank not. An d I saw the people
in holiday attire, and I said: “When will
they put off this and put on workmen’s
garb, and again delve in the mine or swel¬
ter at the forgo?” But they never put off
the holiday attire.
And I wandered in the suburbs of th#
city to llnd the place where tlie dead sleep,
and I looked all along the line of the beau¬
tiful hills, the place where the dead might
most blissfully sleep, and I saw towers and
castles, but not a mausoleum, or a monu¬
ment or a white slab could I see. And I
went to the chapel of the great town, and
I said: “Where do the poor worship, and
where are the hard benches on which they
sit?” AM the answer was made me: “We
have no poor in this country.” And then
I wandered out to find the hovels of the
destitute, and I found mansions of amber
and ivory and gold; but not a tear could I
see, not a sigh could I hear, and I was be¬
wildered, and I sat down under t he
branches of a great tree, and said: “Where
am I? And whence comes all this scene?”
And then out from among the leaves, and
up the flowery paths, and across the bright
streams there came a beautiful group,
thronging all about me, and as I saw them
come I thought I knew their step; and as
they shouted I thought I knew their voices;
bnt then they were so gloriously arrayed
in apparel such ns I had never before wit¬
nessed that I bowed as stranger to stranger.
But when again they clapped their hands
c'ind shouted: “Welcome, welcome,” the
mystery all vanished, and I found that time
had gone and eternity had come, and WO
were all together again in our new home in
heaven. And I looked around, and said:
“Are we all here?” and the voices of many
generations responded: “All here.” And
while tears of gladness were raining down
our checks, and tho branches of the Lebanon
cedars were clapping their hands, and the
towers of the great city were chiming their
welcome, we all together began to leap
and shout and sing “Home, home, home,
homel”
VILLAGE BUILT BY PILFERINC.
Stolen Lumber Composes Eddington
Bend, Maine.
Eddington Bend, an incorporated
settlement in the town of Eddington,
three miles above Bangor, on the Pe¬
nobscot River, bears a remarkable dis¬
tinction in this vicinity; river men
say that it was built wholly of stolen
lumber.
Above Bangor the river makes a
generous bend; above the bend there
have stood *for more than fifty years
big mills in which logs from the Maine
forests have been sawed into lumber
and rafted below to the city for ship¬
ment to-the South or for home con¬
sumption. Besides filling up the bed
of the river with sawdust, these mills
have, from year to year, sent down a
good many stray boards, which, de¬
tached from the rafts by the swift
current, have been borne into the ed¬
dy in the bend and lodged there.
The first mills in this locality were
established before 1840. Early in 1845
the land about the bend was wholly
uncultivated and unleased. In the
summer sawing the river men, going
up and down, saw a single individual
at work upon the bank, and before
the snow blew down the valley there
had grown up on the river shore a
comfortable shanty, built wholly o.i
fine, new boards. The mill men
laughed at the enterprise of the new¬
comer; they enjoyed the way in which
he picked up their stray stock and
made it into a house.
But the enterprising settler was not
alone long. The rafters had carried
his fame. The story set other poor
but active men that way, and in two
years the bend contained six huts, all
built from the lumber gleaned from
the eddy in the river.
Since then the mill owners have
seen the half-dozen huts replaced by
more than a ccore of well-built dwell¬
ings, a church and several shops. Al¬
though in the last fifty years so much
lumber has been consumed, the
amount picked up in any one season
is so insignificant that never yet has
any owner seen fit to go in chase of his
stray stock.
The bend is now the site of a pros¬
perous little village, much frequented
by Bangor folk. Some of its houses
and some of its occupants are of a
high and respectable class, but every
one of them is subject to the remark of
the mill men up river. The residents
of the bend are named “the river rats”
by the mill men.—New York Press.
A New Cotton Plant.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat has
an account of a marvelous new cotton
plant or tree, a stalk of which was
brought to Atlanta, Ga., from the heart
cf Africa, in 1894, by an English Jew
named Adolph Kyle. He said that in
Africa the plant grew twenty feet high
and that he counted 000 pods Billed
with the finest cotton on it.
As the Globe-Democrat tells the
story, a planter by the name of Jack-
son picked the seeds from the bolls,
securing 205 of them, These he
planted, and fifty-seven of them
sprouted, the stalks growing to the
height of twelve feet, The cotton
matured all right, and sufficient seed
was secured to plant a half acre. From
that piece of ground Mr. Jackson
picked 2,000 pounds of seed cotton,
which yielded 800 pounds of lint so
fine that it brought 15 cents per pound,
when other cotton was selling for 5 or
0 cents a pound. This year, we are
informed, Mr. Jackson planted six
acres, and it is expected to yield four
or five bales of 500 pounds each to
the acre, or twelve times the usual
product of the soil where it is grown.
The fiber of this cotton is white.
It is a short lane where all tlio tenants pay-
their rent promptly.

Temperature of Food.
The temperature of the things we
eat and drinks is hardly ever noticed;
still, it is of considerable importance
that food or drink should be of the
right temperature. For healthy peo¬
ple hot articles of food should beserved
at a temperature about that of the
biood, but for infants it is imperative
that milk should be given at blood
heat. Drinks intended to quench
thirst are about right at a temperature
of from 50 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
Drink or food at extremely high or ex¬
tremely low temperatures may do great
damage, and are most harmful when
swallowed rapidly. Drinking water is
best taken at 55 degrees, seltzers and
soda water should be slightly warmer
and beer should not be cooled to more
than 00 degrees; red wine is best at
05 degrees; white wine at 50; cham¬
pagne is the one liquor which it best
at the lowest temperature allowed, but
should not be taken colder than 45
degrees. Coffee and tea should not be
taken hotter than from 105 to 120 de¬
grees; milk is considered cold at 60
degrees, when it will be found to have
the best aroma.
The Expert and His Fees.
Expert testimony of all sorts in our
courts has become disgraceful. The
law in many states has now recognized
the necessity of paying more than the
ordinary witness fees to experts, so
that there is a pecuniary recognition
of its value. The three experts in the
Barbiori trial in New York received
from the county §7,250. The fees
given experts yearly in any one of our
large cities would probably pay twice
over the aunual salary of permanent
experts, but at present there is noth¬
ing permanent about an expert but his
fee.
