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 Figure of the Horse.

TALMAGE. THE NOTED DIVINE’S SUN¬ DAY DISCOURSE. 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 the hooks, devotion at the altar. To him it means a greeting at the door and a smile at the chair. Peace hovering like wings. Joy clapping its hands with laughter. Life a tranquil lake. Pillowed on the ripples sleep the another shadows. what home Ask man is, and he will tell you it is want, looking out of a cheerless fire-grate, kneading hunger in an empty bread tray. The damp air shivering eurses ' No on the shelf. Chil¬ M background and sin staring from the front. No Sabbath wave rolling over that door- sill. Vestibule of the pit. Shadow of in¬ fernal walls. Furnace for forging everlast¬ ing chains. Awful word! It is spelled chokes with curses, it weeps with ruin, it with woe, it sweats with the death agony of de- spair. in tho The word Home one ease means ,s“i. iss"" d -^j^actei, homo as a rciuge, c as ^ political safeguard, home as a school, , . and home as a type of heaven, And in the first place character. I remark, that home is a powerful test of The Ka^p^i^“^ disposition in public may be in gay cos- tne stage, and may appear m another way behind the scenes,so private public charactermay he very different from character, Private character is often public character turned wrong side out.

There are business men who all day long are mild, and courteous, and genial, and good-na¬ tured tin commercial life, damming back their Irritability, and their petulance, and their discontent; but at night-fall tho dam breaks, and scolding pours forth in Hoods and freshets. 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¬ times the wind rises, so after a sunshiny day there may be a tempestuous night. "the There are people who who home in public the act philanthropist, at act Nero with respect to their slippers and their gown. who is affable in public 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 Hftor life luxuriantly. Every time you have ifivea a smile of approbation, all the qoofl elieer of your life will eoraeup again imho ebullition geniality of your ellililreii. Aiul every 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 out the harbor of light into the ocean be¬ yond. and out, and and and and Out, out, on, down on, on, and down, and down, and He sped, until one arrived. night, with His only disembarka¬ one to greet Him, he tion, so unpretending, so quiet, that it was not known on earth until the excitement in the cloud gave intimation that something grand and glorious had happened! Who 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 anexilo from Ur of the Chaldees; John an exile from Ephesus; Ivoselusko exile an oxile from Poland; Mazzini an Ireland; from Borne; Emmett an exile from Victor Hugo an exile from France; Kossuth au oxile from Hungary. But this one of whom I speak to-day lmd such resounding fare¬ well and camo into such chilling reception —for not even a hostler went out with his lantern to help Him in—that He is more to be celebrated than any other expatriated one of earth or heaven. 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 night and tho storm and tiie world’s exe¬ cration, and all that homesickness suffered to get us home.

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. A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE.

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.
