Ohio’s Champion Whittier.
Edward Weyls, a barber of 114 West
Mound street, claims to be the cham¬
pion penknife whittler of the United
States, and his work as displayed in
several pieces of wood carving cer¬
tainly stamps him as a genius in this
line, even if his title honors are dis¬
puted. Weyls uses nothing but a pen¬
knife and out of blocks of wood he
molds figures and articles with the
artistic tact of a sculptor. He cuts
chains, scissors, wagons, locomotives,
machines and other articles and things
out of white pine with the rapidity of
a buzz-saw. All Mr. Weyls wants is
a block of pine,, his jack-knife and a
seat on a store box, and he can execute
the most difficult and Intricate pieces
of art. His shop is filled with master¬
pieces, among the number being a
panel figure of Mark Hanna and the
facial expression caught by the artist
is wonderful.
Mr. Weyls will put his work on pub¬
lic exhibition here in compliance with
the wishes of his friends.—Columbus

Excavations at Pompeii.
Formerly excavations in Pompeii
were made sololy with a view to the
discovery of art and archaeological
treasures, no effort being made to pre¬
serve the houses. The present method
is very different, and one of the latest
excavations is a house in which all
the interior arrangements, furniture,
wall decoration, etc., have been pre¬
served or restored.

JAPANESE LAWMAKERS.
Hoy* the Two Houses of Parliament Are
Chosen.
The prominent part taken by Japan
In the Hawaiian question and the fre¬
quent mention of the Japanese Parjig-
ment have given rise to much inquiry
as to the composition of that body and
the Japanese election methods.
The latter are fashioned after those
of the United States itt many respects
—the preliminary caucuses and con¬
ventions being like those held in this
country, in most particulars.
The Japanese Parliament consists of
a House of Representatives known as
the Shin gfn The and a House of Peers
known ^ Klzoku-In. There are
three hundred members in the lower
house, who are elected for four years,
and about two hundred members in the
House of PeerB whose term of office is
seven years.
There is no positive number set for
the membership of the upper house be¬
cause there are many hereditary mem¬
bers, and their number may be aug¬
mented at any time by appointment
at the hands of the Emperor. All mar¬
quises and dukes are members of the
House of Peers by virtue of* their
titles; the members of the imperial
household and Imperial prlnees are al¬
so members of the House of Peers.
Barons, counts and viscounts are eli¬
gible to election to the upper house,
but none of these ranks may be repre¬
sented by more than one-fifth of its
total membership. In addition to these
there are the various porsons whom
the Emperor rewards for distinguished
services with a seat in the upper house.
The members who are elected are
chosen from the largest taxpay¬
ers in the various districts. Fifteen
men whose taxes amount to a certain
sum a yea'r are elected in each district,
and they elect one of their members.
He must be at least thirty years old
and may be a merchant, manufacturer
or a member or one of the learned
professions. The president and the
vice-president of the upper house are
appointed by the Emperor.
Members of the lower house are all
elected by popular vote. Every male
of the age of twenty-five years who has
lived one year or more in the district
in which the election takes place may
vote, provided he has paid at least 15
yen in direct taxes, exclusive of what
he paid in local taxes. When the
voter is thirty years old he is also
eligible to membership in the lower
house without any further qualifica¬
tion. But a man who already holds an
office in the judiciary, police or cor¬
rection department, who has an office
in the imperial household or is in any
way connected with the custom-house,
may not become a candidate for the
House of Representatives.
When members ate elected they
come together and elect three of their
number as worthy of the place of pre¬
siding officer; from these three the
Emperor selects the president and
vice-president of the body.
The lists of voters are made up by
officers of the various districts, and are
completed on or before April 20. From
that time until July 1, when the elec¬
tions take place, much active campaign
work is done. The nominations are
made in the various counties or dis¬
tricts, and on election day the chief
officer of the county takes charge of
the voting in his district. The voting
places are all in the Municipal Build¬
ing, and are open on election day from
7 a. m. until 0 p. m. The voter pre¬
sents himself at the Inspector’s desk,
on which the ballot-boxes are placed,
and, after writing his name, and op¬
posite that the name of the person for
whom he desires to vote, on a book
kept for that purpose, he deposits his
ballot. In cases where a voter cannot
write, an officer may write for him,
but the election hooks must show that
such help had been extended to the
voter.
Outside the building there are many
men who yell and cheer for their can-
didate and button-hole the voters as
they come to the voting-places, and act
in many respects like the crowd around
a rural American election place. Those
who compose the outside cheering and
electioneering crowds >ne ior the most
part young men from the schools and
colleges, and their influence with the
voters is anxiously sought by the can-
didates.
After the polls are closed the county
officers take charge of the boxes and
place them under lock and key in the
Municipal Building, where they remain
until the next morning, when they are
opened and examined by a Board of
Inspectors, on whose, report the can¬
didates are declared elected.
The next general election will take
place In July, 1808.—New York Tri¬
bune.
BURlIliN BEARING
SERMON BY REV. \V. H. PARKINS
OF MERJBEX, COSN.
“Burden Bearing’* Is the Title of the
Second of the New York ‘‘Herald’s’'
Competitive Sermon*—Preached l»y the
Rev. W. 8. Perkin*, Meriden, Conn.
Text: “Bear yo one another’s burdens.”
—Gal. vi., 2,
Every one Is a burden bearer, having his
load Some ol want, suffering and responsibility. that doubt
appear so fortunate we
whether they share in the sorrows of man¬
kind. They have wealth, friends, health,
wisdom and virtue. What ean tholr burden
be? They have at least a responsibility
oommensurate with their Iblessings; and,
perhaps, if we knew more of their lives,
seemingly so blessed, we would find that
they also have a burden, all theheavier be¬
cause borne in secret.
Men often think that if they could change
their circumstances, evun slightly, they
would escape trouble, but tills is an illusion.
Tho sick recover health, the poor become
rich, the lowly gain the coveted positions of
honor, and their common testimony is that
having dens gained these advantages fact, their bur¬
are no less heavier. In the nor¬
mal condition of man is that of a burden
bearer. We “are born into trouble as the
sparks fly upward.”
How can this fact of burden bearing bo
reconciled with our belief in a heavenly
Father? Some contend that all suffering is
due to sin; that if man had not sinned he
would have had no burden. Jesus, how¬
ever, repudiates this thought. For when
the Jews asked Him, Who did sin, this man
or his parents, that he was born blind?
He answered, Neither. Muck suffering
but comes indeed os the punishment of sin, the
some suffering has affections, its source in
exercise of our holiest as that
of a mother bearing the burden of an un-
fortunnto or wayward child.
In seeking further for a solution to this
problem we And that the really great men
of the world bear its heaviest burdens, so
that.it is said, “a man’s greatness maybe
measured by his sufferings.” Burden bear¬
ing enables a man to do two things—to
test his strength and by using to increase
it. thus And wbat splendid characters have
been developed! Widows in poverty
giving their alii Martyrs of the sick room
showing marvelous patience! Heroes of
the faith made such by their struggles with
unbelief! Did not God intend such results?
Then that is the reason why He sometimes
lays on men such heavy burdens.
This leads up to the explanation of bur¬
den bearing! suggested in the text—“Bear
ye one another’s burdens.” The picture
of the world’s sorrow is very dark, but it
has in it a bit of blue sky, through which
faith looks up ana beholds tho eternal
goodness. thnt
help Burdens are put upon them. men Without they may
one another bear suf¬
fering how could we realize our dependence
upon God or feel the need of human sym¬
pathy and love? No opportunity would be
given to help a fellow man in trouble or to
sigh in pity over misery beyond our relief.
Grant, then, that the chief they reason why
men have burdens is that may help
one another, how great is the duty laid
upon us. In the fulfllment of that duty
two ways are suggested. Those that are
able may take the burden from weaker
shoulders and bear it themselves, St.
Paul says, “We that fare strong ought to
bear the infirmities of the weak.” Or
strength may be given.to those upon whom
the burden is laid to bear it themselves.
The latter is the more effective aid. A word
of instruction, an act of kindness or an ex¬
is pression of sympathy is sometimes all that
needed.
I IThere i* an Eastern legend that runs
thus: In a forest near a great city a golden
ball was let down out of heaven every day
at noontime, and whoever should touch
this ball, it was said, would acquire cer¬
tain wonderful virtues. So many tried to
reach it. But it was always lifted jnst
above them. One day there was in the
crowd waiting for the descent of tho ball
an old man and a little boy.
And the old man said to the others:
“If to:day none of us can reach tho ball,
let us lift up this child so that he may
touch It and receive the blessing.” Acting
on this counsel, when the tallest of them
could not reach the ball, they stood to¬
gether and lifted up the golden boy till, with his
tiny hand, he touched the ball and,
lo! not the boy only, but every person form¬
ing the living pyramid felt the thrill and
received the magic gift.
So it is, my friends, in life. When men
,
stand together, shoulder to shoulder, beaor-
tngone another’s burdens, then God be¬
stows upon them His best blessings.

[COD AMONG THE BIRDS,
Bev. Dr. Talinage ou Ornithology of tho
Bible!
Text: “Behold the fowls of tho air.”—
Matthew vi., 26.
My text is an oxtract from the Sormon
on tho Mount, and perhaps it wns at a mo¬
ment when a flook of j birds flow past that
Christ waved Ills hand toward them nnd
said: “Behold the fowls of the air.” That
is, study their habits. Examine their od¬
ors. Notice their speed. See the hand of
God in their construction. Thoy are al¬
most human, for they have their loves and
hates, affinities and antipathies, under¬
stand joy nnd grief, have conjugal and ma¬
ternal instincts, wage wars, and entertain
jealousies, have a language of their own
and powers of association.
Thank God for birds, nnd skios full of
them. It is useless to expect to under¬
stand tho Bible unless we study natural
history. They were at the creation placed
all nround on the rocks and in the trees
and on the ground to serenade Adam’s
arrival. They took their places'on Saturday. Friday,
as tho first man was made on
Whatever else ho had or did not have,
he should have music. The first sound
that struck the human ear wns a bird’s
voice.
As a bird first heralded tho human race
into the world, now a bird will help the
human raoe hack to tho world that had
shipped a sea that had overwhelmed every¬
thing. Noah stands on Sunday morning hand
at the window of the ark, in his a
cooing dove, so gentle, so innooent, so af¬
fectionate, and he said: “Now, my little
dove, fly away over these waters, explore, it
and come back and tell us whether is
safe to land. It was a bird thnt told them
when to take possession of tho resuscitated
planet. So the human race wore saved by
a bird’s wing; for, attempting to land too
soon, they would have perished. desolations ban¬
Isaiah compares the of
ished Israel to an owl nnd bittern and cor¬
morant among a city’s ruins, Would the
prophet illustrate the fate of fraud, he
points to a failure at incubation, nnd hatch- says:
“As a partridge sitteth on eggs and
eth them not, so he that getteth riches and
not by right shall leave them in the midst
of his days and at fcis end shall be a foo’.l’
The quickest way to amass a fortune is
by iniquity, but the trouble is about keep¬
ing it. Every hour of every day somo such
partridge is driven off the nest Panics are
only a flutter of partridges. It. is too tedi¬
ous work to become rich in tho old-fash¬
ioned way, and }f a man can by the false¬
hood make as much as "by ten and years if of
hard labor, vhy not tell it, one
counterfeit check will bring the dollars as
easily as a genuine issue, why not make it?
But yonder in this Bible sky flies a bird
that is speckled. The prophet describing
the church, cries out: “Mine heritage is
unto me as a speckled bird, the birds
round about arc against her.” So it
was then; so it is pioked now. Holiness picked
at. Consecration nt. Benevolence
picked nt. Usefulness picked bird, at. that A
speckled bird is a peculiar the and

Disaster, failure In business, disappoint¬
ment, bereavement, is God’s way of
shaking us out of our learn comfortable nest in
order that we may to fly. You who
are complaining tliat you have no faith or
courage or Christian zeal have had it too
easy. You never will learn to fly in that
comfortable pest. Like an eagle, Christ
has carried us on His back. At times wo

Across what oceans of trouble we have
gone From in what safety upon the Almighty wings.
mountains of sin wo have been
carried and at times have Been borne up far
above the gunshot of the world and the
arrow of the devil. When our time on
earth is closed, on these great wings of
God we shall speed with inflnlto quickness
from earth’s mountains to heaven’s hills,
and-as from the eagle's circuit under the
sun, men on the ground seem small And in-
signifloant as lizards on a rock, so all earth¬
ly things shall dwindle into a speck and
the raging seas of death so far beneath
will seem smooth and glassy as a
Swiss lake. Oh, the goodness of God
in showing the birds how to build
their nest! What carpenters, what
masons, what weavers, what spinners the
birds are! Out of what small resources
they make what an exquisite home, curved,
sticks, pillared, wreathed.Out of lichens, of of horsehair, mosses, out of
out out out
of spiders’ web, out of threads swept from
the door by the housewife, out of the wool
of the sheep in the pasturo Held. Uphol¬
stered by leaves actually sewed together
By its own 9harp bill. Cushioned with
feathers from its pwn breast. Mortared
together with the gum of trees and the
saliva of Its own tiny bill. Such symmetry,
such geometry of structure.
Surely these nests were built by some
plan. They did not just happen so. Who
draughted the plan for the bird’s nest?
God. And do yon not think that if He
plans such a house for a chaffinch, for an
oriole, for a bobolink, for a sparrow, He
will see to it that you always have a home?
“Ye are of more value than many spar¬
rows.” Whatever else surrounds you, you
can have what the Bible calls “the feathers
of the Almighty.” Just think of a nest
like that, the warmth of it, the softness of
It, the safety of it—“the feathers of the
Almighty.” No flamingo such outflashing brilliancy the
tropical sunset ever had of
pinioh; dashed no robin redbreast ever had plum-
ago with suoh crimson and purple
and orange and gold—“the feathers of the
Almighty.” Do you not feel the touch of
them now on forehead and cheek and
spirit, and was there ever such tenderness
of brooding—“the feathers of the Al¬
mighty.”
So also in this ornithology of the Bible
God keeps impressing us with the anat¬
omy of a'bird’s wing. Over fifty times does
the old Book allude to the wing—“wings of
a dove,” “wings of the morning,” “wings
of the wind,” “sun of righteousness, with
healing in his wings,” “wings of the Al¬
mighty,” “all fowl of every wing.”
What does It all mean? It suggests
uplifting. It tells you of flight upward.
It means to remind you that you,
yourself, Have wings. David oried out,
“Oh, that I had wings like a dove that I
might fly away and be at rest.” Thank
God that you have better wings than any
dove of longest and swiftest flight. Caged
now in bars of flesh are those wings, but
the da/ comes when they will be liberated.
Get ready for ascension. Take the words
of that old hymn, ^nd to the tune unto
which that hymn is carried sing:
Bise my soul and stretch thy wing.
Thy better portion trace.

But how shall we rise? Only as

BRANDING ARMY HORSES.
J . G. Shortall, of Chicago, After General
Miles For the Batter's Order.
Johh G. Shortall, President of tho Hfl-
mane Society, of Chicago, Ill., is after Gen¬
eral Miles with a sharp stick becauso of tho
General’s recent order for a resumption of
the oid practice of branding army horses
und mules.
“Considering tho abundant havo means charge at
their command, the men who
of the Government animals should be com¬
petent to take ertre of them without brand,” having
to recourso to the flend-like says
Mr. Shortall, “and branding by means of
the sizzling iron is at best but a barbarous
contrivance. It is a form of brutality even
less honorable than vivisection.”
Mr. Shortall is looking for some law by
which the branding maybe prevented.

Various Queer Contrivances in Oriental
Countries.
A common error is that Orientals in¬
habit lands of eternal summer and
dress the year through in flowing silks
and wondrous muslins. Many of them
do enjoy this kind of existence. Those
for example, in southern China and on
the great plain of Hindustan, hut at
least a hundred millions live in a ter¬
ritory as cold as this city, and at least
fifty millions in a land whose condi¬
tions are similar to those of Canada.
Centuries of civilization have taught
them numberless expedients for secur¬
ing comfort and pleasure, in spite of
the snow and ice which surround them
in the winter season. Many of these
are known and utilized by the western
world, but the most are unknown, or,
if known, are viewed as freaks or
laughable oddities.
Thus, for example, the Japanese and
northern Chinese employ what are
known as pocket stoves. These con¬
sist of shells of metal in iron, brass,
bronze, silver, and for the very
wealthy gold. Charcoal or perfumed
charcoal is put into the shell and ig¬
nited. The shell itself it inserted In a
special belt or cloth, and worn about
the waist, or is fastened to the inside
of a woman’s skirt. A cold individual
may wear as many as a half dozen of
these little stoves, while a warm¬
blooded person is satisfied with one.
There are beautiful little foot
warmers, which can be taken into bed,
and in which a slowly smoldering fire
safely secured inside of a metal box,
emits warmth the night long, and
makes the coldest bed as delightful as
a hammock in summer weather. Then
there are portable stoves, which burn
perfumed charcoal and can be carried
from room to room. There are pa¬
jamas which are lined with fur; kimo¬
