REV. DR. TALMAGE. THE NOTED DIVINE’S SUN¬ DAY DISCOURSE* Uotl Amonp: the Slars—Ouv Own World the Smallest of Them All, Was Se¬ lected uh the Theatre For Sin and Sor¬ row hh an Awful Example to Others. Text: “It is He that bulldetlx Ills storlos In tho heaven.”—Amos, ix., 6. This is first-rate poetry from Amos, tho herdsman. While guarding his flocks at ni^Iit, lie pot watching the heavens. Hu saw stars above stars, and the universe seemed to him like a grout mansion many stories high, silver room above silver room, silver pillars besides silver pillars, and win¬ dows of silver and doors of silver, and tur¬ rets and domes of silver rising into the immensities, and the prophet’s sancti¬ fied imagination walks through that great silver palace of the universe, through the first story, through the second story, through the third story, through the twen¬ tieth story, through the hundredth story, through the thousandth story, and realiz¬ ing that God is the architect and carponter and mason of all that upheaved splendor, ho cries out in the words of the text, “It is He that buiideth His stories in the heaven.” The fact is that wo have all spent too much time on one story of tho great man¬ sion of God’s universe. We neod occasion¬ ally to go upstairs or downstairs in this mansion; study downstairs, and iu the cellar the rock«, or upstairs and see God in some of the higher stories, and learn the He meaning that of the text when it says: “It is buiideth His stories in the heaven.” “Astronomy was born in Chaldea. Its mother was Astrology, or tho science of The foretelling events by juxtaposition of stars. and in Orientals, living much out of doors which a very clear atmosphere, through the stars shone especially lustrous, got the habit of studying the night heavens. In the hot seasons caravans joiirneyed chiefly at night, and that gave travelers much opportunity of stellar in- formation. On tho first page of the Hible the sun and moon and stars roll in. The sun, circumference a body nearly three million miles in and more than twelve thou- sand times as largo as our earth; the moon, more than two thousand miles in diameter. Hot God is used to doing things on such an omnipotent scale that he takes only one verse to te.il of this solar and lunar manu- facture. Yea, in three words all the other worlds are thrown in. The record says, “The stars also.” It takes whole pages for a man to extol the making of a telescope or microscope or a magnetic telegraph or a threshing machine, or to describe a fine painting or statue, celestial but it was so easy for God to hang the upholstery that the story is compassed in one verse: - ‘God made two groat lights, the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night. The stars also!’ Astronomers have been trying to call the roll of them ever since, and they have counted multitudes of them passing in review before the observa- tones built at vast expense, and the size and number of those heavenly bodies have taxed to the utmost the scientists of all * f l g eg# But God finishes all He has to say about them in three words, “The stars also!” That is Mars, with its more than IIfty-flvo million square miles, and Venus, with its more than one hundred and ninety-one miliione square miles, and Saturn, with its more than* nineteen billion square miles, and Jupiter, with its more than twenty- four billion squazT-x'Ales.and all the planets of our system of more than seventy-eight billion square miles, and these stars of our system, when compared with handful the stars of the other systems, as a of sand compared and all with Alps. all “The the Rocky stars also!” Mountains the For brevity, for ponderosity, sublimity for splendor, for suggestiveness, for piled on sublimity, these words excel all that human speech ever uttered or human imagination ever soared after: “The stats also!” It is put in as you write afterward—as a postscript—something you thought of hardly worth putting into the body of a letter. “The stars also!” Oh, what a God wo have, and He is our Father! Read on in your Bibles, and after awhile the Biblo flashes with the aurora borealis or northern lights, that undefined strange illumination, as mysterious and now as when, in the book of Job it was written: “Men see not the bright light which is in the clouds. Fair weather cometh out of the north.” While all the nations supposed that the earth was built on a foundation of some sort, and many supposed that it stood on a huge turtle, or some great marine creature, Job knew enough of astronomy to say it had no ^foundation, but was suspended Almighty, on the in- visible arm of the declaring that “He hongeth the earth upon noth- ing.” While all nations thought the earth was level, the sky spread over it like a tent over a flat surface, Isaiah declared the world to be globular, circular, saying of God: “Ho Bitteth upon the circle of the earth.” See them glitter in this scriptural sky—Arcturus, Orion, the Pleiades, and the “bear with her young.” and Without the use of telescope with- out"any observatory and without any as- tronomical calculation, I know that tho other worlds are inhabited, because my Eil)le and ray common seuso tell me 30 . It has been estimated that in tho worlds belonging to our solar systam thero is room for at least twenty-five trillion all of population. And I believe it is oeeu- pied, or will he occupied, by intelligent be- iiu's.

Whnt a service for all mankind when, in 1839, Lord Rosso lilted on tho lawn of his castle eighty miles from Dublin a telescope that revealed worlds as fast as they could roll in and that started an enthusiasm which this moment concentrates tho eyes of many of the most devout In all parts of the earth on celestial discovery. Thank God that we now know our own world is, hounded on nil sides by realms of glory, instead of be¬ ing where Hesiod in his poetry described end It to hell, be. namely half hurled way botween heaven an anvil out of lioaven, taking ten days to strike tho earth, and hurled out of earth, taking ton more days to strike perdition: From tho high heaven a brazen anvit cast.

I tlmnk Goil that we have found out that our world is not. half way between heaven and hall, but is in a sisterhood oflight, and that this sisterhood joins all the other sis¬ terhoods of worlds, moving round seme great homestead, whiebis no doubt heaven, where God is, and our departed Christian friends are, and we ourselves through par¬ doning mercy expect wliat,a to become permanent residents. 0, God we have, and He is our Father. Furthermore, I get now from all this au answer to tho question which every intelli¬ gent man and woman since the earth has Stood has asked and received no answer. Why did God let sin and sorrow come into the world when Ho could have prevented them from coming? I wish reverently to sa y I think I have found the reason. To keep , the , universe loyal , , to , a Holy . Ood, it was important in some world, somewhere to demonstrate the gigan- tie disasters that would come upon any world that allowed sin to enter, Which world should it be? Weil, the smaller the world the better, for less numbers would suiter. bo our world was selected. The stage was plenty large enough for the enactment of the tragedy, Rnter on the stage bin, followed by Mur- der, Pain, Theft, Fraud, Impurity, False- hood, Massacre, War and all the abomina- tlotvs and horrors and agonies oe centuries, Although w« know worlds, .comparatively lest little *bout the other we become completely dissatisfied with our own, no doubt the other worlds have heard and are n °w hearing all about this world in the awful experiment v of sin which the human race has been making. ^ is no longer to me a mystery why so small a world as ours was chosen for the tragedy. A chemist can demonstrate all the laws of earth and heaven in n small laboratory, ten feet by five, and our world Was not too small to demonstrate to the universe the awful chemistry ohunright- eousness, its explosive the and riving and con¬ summing power. On tower of Pharos, Egypt, a metaih'e mirror was raised which reflected all that occurred both on laud sea for a distance of three hundred miles, an( ^ 90 Egypt was imormed of tho coming J, er * ttemles long before their arrival. By what process . I know not, but in some way this ship of a struggling eartii, I think, is mirrored to distant worlds, Surelythis p no disastrous experiment of ft world un- loosing itself from God will bo enough ior all worlds and all eternities, Blit notice tnat as other words rolled in- to the first book of the Bible, the Book of Genesis, they also appear in the lost book of the Bible, the Book of Revelation, They will take part in the scenes of that occa- 9ion which shall be the earth’s winding up, lind a tremendous occasion for you and me personally. My father was one night on the turnpike road between Trenton and Bound Brook, N. J. He was coming through the night from the legislative hai ls, where ho was serving his State, to his home,where there was sickness. I often heard him tell about it. It was the night of the 12th and the morning of the 13th of November, 1883. Suddenly the whole forgotten. heavens became From the a scene never to be constellation Leo meteors began to shoot directions. For the two hours ba- tween 4 and 6 in the morning, it was estl- mated that a thousand meteors a minute flashed and expired. It grew lighter than nodnday. Arrows of fire. Balls of Are. Trails of fire. Showers of fire. Some of the appearances were larger than tho full moon. All around the heavens explosion followed explosion, bounds as well as sights. The air filled with uproar. All the luminaries of the sky seemed to nave re- ceived marching orders. The heavens ribbed and interlaced and garlanded with meteoric display. From horizon and to hori- zon everything in combustion confin¬ gration. Many a brain; # that night gave way. It was an awful strain on strongest nerves, Millions of people fell on tiieir knees in prayer. Was the world ending, or was there some great event for which all heaven was illuminated? For eight momentous hours the phenomenon lasted. East, west, worth, south, it looked as though the heavens were in maniac disorder. Astrono- mers watching that night said that those meteors started from 2200 miles above the earth’s surface And moved with ten times the speed of a cannon hall. Tho owner of a plantation in South Carolina says of that night scene. I was suddenly awakened by the most distressing cries that ever fell on my ears.

It is sometimes said that tho farmer who depends wholly on irrigation is really better off than those who farm where rainfall is usually sufficient. The man who irrigates lias the con¬ trol of moisture supply in his own hands. But this does not wholly ap¬ ply to fruit growing. In arid climates an - , as well as soil, must be kept moist to develop the best fruit. For many years California fruit was dry and poor in quality, though fine looking. Now California air in the dry season is loss arid than it used to be, and its fruit is better. Straw for Feed. Choice timothy hay is fed to many idle horses on farms that have surplus straw. The hay would bring in far more cash than all the straw, If the farmer is unwilling to cut the straw and feed with chop, it is practicable to feed it long with good results, If the mangers are cleaned out before each feed, the refuse being passed through the stables, horses will take out half the total weight of the feed with fair relish, and with a nitrogen¬ ous grain ration will thrive upon it. While I prefer corn fodder and clover hay, I would always use surplus straw for wintering stock iu place of timothy. If there ik sufficient stock to consume all the coarse feed, that may be so much the better; but if any is sold off the farm, let it be the hay, which is usually in demand at paying prices.— Farm and Fireside. A I'otato-Gatliering: Fork. The cut shows a home-made fork that will do good work in picking up and sorting potatoes that hnve been j HOME-MADE POTATO FORK. dug out upon the ground. The wood¬ en teeth, or tines, are the teeth from a cast-off drag rake. The sides keep the tubers from rolling off’, while the head piece is stout enough to hold the handle, its sides and the tines firmly. The tines can be placed near enough together to lift all the potatoes, or only those above a certain size, thus sorting them. Ground Bones—How the Same Amount of Plant Food Gan Be Obtained Cheaper. Estimating the value of whole bones nt $10 per ton and cost of grinding them at $10 more, will make the cost of one ton of ground bones $20. Suppose an average ton of bones to contain sixty pounds of organic nitro¬ gen and 400 pounds of phosphoric acid; 37S pounds of nitrate of soda will furnish sixty pounds of nitrogen and 135 pounds of soda. Thirteen hundred and fifty pounds of powdered phosphate of lime, thirty per cent., will furnish 405 pounds of phosphoric acid. This mixture will cost, with nitrate of soda at two and a half cents a pound and powdered phosphate of lime at three-quarter cents a pound, $17.25 for only 1725 pounds, equal iu nitrogen and phos¬ phoric acid to one ton ground bones. The nitrogen in nitrate of soda is in its most available form. There is also 135 pounds of soda which is not to be had in using bones alone. The phosphoric acid in the pow¬ dered phosphates of lime is more avail¬ able than the phosphoric acid in ground bones, because the powdered phosphate of lime is in a much finer state of division than ground bones and fineness of division is the measure of its availability. equivalent The 135 pounds of soda arc in alkaline action to 202 pounds of potash. Professor Wagner says in regard to the effect of soda: “There is a direct effect of it, and this direct effect has proved during my investigation of such importance that further re¬ searches are of great momont.” In his opinion “the decided preference expressed by Schultz-Luptiz for a kainit as a potash (kali) salt is, like the better yield produced by the use of nitrate of soda as against sulphate of ammonia, attributable to the effect of the soda which kainit, as Well-as nitrate of soda, contains, and which heretofore has not been properly valued. ’’-—Andrew H. Ward. Making Kerry Crates ami Stands. i My crates and stands, writes B. A. Wood, a Michigan farmer, in New England Homestead, are somewhat different from those in general use. I have “counted the cost” as to buying berry crates and boxes ready-made or making thorn myself, and I have con¬ cluded that I can make them the cheapest, providing I do tho work time during the winter season, when is less valuable than later on. My crates are made from lath for the sides and bottoms, and one-half inch lum- ber for the ends. It takes 4t laths, which, at 10 cents per bunch of 50, coat in exaot figures 9-10 cent, but, allowing for waste, say 1 cent. For the. ehds one-inch lumber, ten inches ripped into A-inch stuff, will- cost about $1G per thousand. The end pieces are 91x10 inches square, so that - a board 16 feet long will make 40 end pieces, with a very little waste, which will make them cost about 1 cent per crate. So that the whole cost for a crate is not far from 2 cents; and as I cannot estimate my time asbeing worth much, I do not figure it in. Some may think I am a little par¬ ticular when I say that I smooth each strip of lath with a jack plane, but I am better satisfied with the looks of the crates, as it gives them a cleaner appearance, which is everything in selling fruit, as “cleanliness is profita¬ bleness” in this business.” I have each crate stamped with my name and address, and when I sell my berries the understanding is, the crates are to he returned; of course, were I to ship I would do differently; but, so far, I have had “home consumption” enough to use all I produce. My picking stands are as light and strong as possible. I make a frame 8| inches square of SxlS inch strips, with 4 strips of laths for the bottom; for haudles I procure bales from old pails, or else make them of No. 9 wire; ■ BERRY CRATE. picker’s stand. these I fasten rigidly to opposite sides of stands. These will hold 4 boxes or quarts, and are as handy and light as any I have ever seen. So far I have purchased the material for my boxes and manufactured them myself, using a magnetic tack hammer to handle and drive the tacks. These boxes are not as strong as those made by a stapling machine, but are the “next thing best.” As soon as my business war¬ rants it I shall purchase one of these machines for my own use. About tlie Farm. Whether your method bo by cold, deep setting of milk, or extraction by the hand separator, keep the whole process, including the butter making, entirely away from the kitchen. The main principle to be observed in feeding the milch cow is to feed moderately, and to avoid all sudden changes in the rations. Let the quan¬ tity be ample, but never excessive. The owner has the opportunity from the day the calf is dropped until it is a full-fledged cow to make it gentle. Kindness is an important item of the stock in trade on the dairy farm, as it is everywhere else. Ample space should be allowed fowls, but unlimited space is not only injurious. The only advantage an un¬ limited range can possibly give fowls will be on the supply of animal food in the way of insects, and that can be supplied as profitably as the other food we supply them with, and should be given once a week in the shape of refuse meats from the butchers, boiled and chopped up fine. There is no poorer economy than in buying a floor harness because it is cheap. Well tanned leather with due care will resist dampness, and will keep sound a long time. Harness should never be kept in the stable. There is too much ammonia in sta¬ bles, which will quickly cause harness to rot. When used in warm weather the harness should be cleaned often, and kept soft and flexible with oil. The roof wears out, unless kept painted, faster than will any other part of a wooden building. It pays better to keep the roof painted than it floes the sides, and it will also need to be painted oftener. When shingles are used from clear, straight grained wood and kept always painted, they will last a very long time. One of the advantages of painting roofs is to keep water from the nails, -whose rusting Soon rots the wood where they are driven. It is not generally considered a good time to set posts in the fall. No matter how well the soil is compacted around them, rains will sink down in the soil that has lately been disturbed. The winter frosts will also penetrate more deeply, and in a winter when there is much freezing and thawing will gradually lift the post up. If posts are set in fall for a fence the boards must be nailed on so as to keep the posts from being twisted, so that they must be reset before a fence can be made. Little pigs give returns for the ex¬ tra attention necessary in preparing their food. See that each little fellow gets one teat, that he may have his share of the mother’s milk. A little warm milk made into a mash with middlings will help the sow to make more and better milk and the little pigs to grow. Have plenty of fresh water on hand where the sow and the pig3 can get it at all times. A little charcoal will prevent sour stomach. Health and thrift in breeding animals means money in the farmer's pocket. —E. T. Riddick. In hungry hens, that is, hens that are always kept hungry, there is no money; but between a well-fed hen and one that is overfed there is a vast difference. A hen that is made to scratch for everything she eats is in but little danger of eating too much. Were it not that fowls do not do well on an exclusive diet of grain, nothing should be given but grain in the sheaf, or among straw or chaff'; as it is, how¬ ever, a hen should have, in winter especially, vegetables and bran. These must be given in the form of soft feed; always in the morning rather than at night, and then not too liberal an ai- lowance. IDEAL GRANDMOTHERS.

Nervous exhaustion invites disease. This statement is the positive truth. When everything becomes a burden and you cannot walk a few blocks m Z7i \ Bl A without and break your out excessive fuce into flushes, perspirations fatigue, and you anil easily, grow you IH excited and shaky at the least provoca- S\ tion, and you cannot bear to ho Pi crossed in anything, you are in dan- •IV ger; your nerves have given out; you I need building up at once! To build V up woman's nervous system and re¬ store woman’s health, wc know of no better or more inspiring medicine than Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Your ailment taken in time can be thrown off, if neglected it will run on into great suffering and pain. Here is an illustration. Mrs. Lucy Goodwin, Holly, W. Va., says: “ I suffered with nervous prostration, faintness, all-gone feeling and palpi¬ tation of the heart. I could not stand but a few moments at a time without having that terrible bearing-down sensation. “When I commenced taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound I only weighed 108 pounds, and could not sit up half a day; before, however.I had used a whole bottle, I was able to be about. I took in all about three bot¬ tles of the Compound, and am entirely cured; now I weigh 131 pounds and feel like a new woman, stronger and better than ever in my life.” So it transpires that because of the virtues of Mrs. Pinkham’s wonderful Compound, even a very sick woman can he cured and livo to a green old age. Wh 1 He Belieyes in the Supernatural. A resident of Brazil, Ind., writes to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat: "I have read the story of a twelve- foot white ghost that walks at mid¬ night on a dismal Eastern beach. It reminds me of a bit of experience that belongs to my boyhood days. I did not believe in ghosts then and nothing could convince me that supernatural appearances ever stalked abroad in the gaze of earthly vision. My disbelief, however, was dispelled one lonesome night late in November. The moon was not shining, but the star-light fil¬ tered down, uninterruptedly, through cloud masses and slightly tinged the dark, heavy air so that objects were visible to the steady gaze. On some quest I had gone to the barn alone. Just before reaching it, however, I saw a sight that turned the currents of my blood back on themselves and made the very hair on my head stand up, as it were. Just in front of me, with arms outspread and supporting a thin, unsubstantial vesture of grayish white, loomed a spectre whose head must have been at an altitude of three times my own. There was no doubt about the matter. Riveted to the spot I, at first, gazed awe-struck. The spec¬ tre', moved not nor did it vanish. My disbelief in ghosts asserted itself, how¬ ever, and I found my self emboldened enough to question the spectre, after a short spell. I did more. My foot struck a hard substance which, on ex¬ amination, proved to be a brick-baf. It occurred to me to test his ghoatship. I did so. Moving a pace forward I deliberately hurled the bat full at the body of the apparition, thinking, if it were a tangible fraud, practicing de¬ ceit, I would get even with it The bat, true to the aim, struck the spectre, but, to my great consternation, it passed through it and hit the barn beyond with such noise as I thought I had never heard before. I thought I heard a sigh, and, in the uncertain light, I thought I distinguished a rustle cf the airy robes, but this was all. There stood the spectre still; but I did not longer tarry, leaving abruptly and in firm faith in the supernatural.” A Simple Fire Extinguisher. Hand-grenades, the simplest form of fire-extinguisher, can be made at home cheaply and easily. And it is well to have at hand a simple contrivance for extinguishing a small fire at its start. Take twenty pounds of common salt and ten pounds of sal ammoniac (ni¬ trate cf ammonia, to be had of any druggist), and dissolve in seven gal¬ lons of water. Procure quart bottles, of thin glass, such as are ordinarily used by druggists, and fill with this, corking tightly and sealing, to pre¬ vent evaporation. The breaking of the bottle liberates a certain amount of gas, and the heat of the fire generates more, thus work¬ ing its own destruction. A NonHHnsIcal Notion. Some folks actually believe that they can cure skin diseases through their stomachs, it’sabsued on its face—absurd on the face of the man who believes, too, because his disease stays right there.
