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 (Ohio) Dispatch. 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.

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. W. 8. Perkins., Pastor St. Paul’s Church, Unlversallst, Meriden, Conn. [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 arouses tho antipathy of all beaks peculuu o.t the forest.

Invite them to Christ, and thoy will call you a fanatic. Let there be contention among Christians, and they will Bay: “Hur- raht the church Is In deoadeace." Christ in¬ tended thnt His church should always re¬ main a speckled bird. 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 have been shabgn off, and when we were about to fall He came under us again and brought us out of the gloomy valley to the sunny mountain. Never nn eagle brooded with suoh love and care over her young as God’s wings have been over us. 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. of Up out of these lowlands into the heavens higher experience and wider God’s prospect. Holy But how shall we rise? Only as Spirit gives us strength. But that is com¬ ing now. Not as a condor from a Chim¬ borazo peak, swooping upon the affrighted valley, but as a dove like that which put its soft brown wings over the wet locks of Christ nt the baptism In the Jordan. Dove of gentleness! Dove of peace! Come, With Holy all Spirit, quickening heavenly dove. Come shed thy powers, love abroad a Saviour’s And that shall kindle ours.

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¬ nos, whose interior is as soft as fleece or the silkiest goat li.-ir; cloaks and peignoirs, which are really furs with the warm side in. There are fur-lined slippers, and most delightful of all for those who dwell In chilly rooms, or like to sleep with the windows open in midwinter, fur-lined socks or short stockings, which can be drawn on in a second, and which make the cold¬ est floor agreeable to the foot.—New York Mail and Express.
