Hhe wanted to know how the fruit tasted. Hhe found out, hut 0000 years have deplored that unhealthful curiosity. Healthful curl- osity has done a great deal for letters, for art, for science and for religion. Jt has gone down into the depths of the earth with the geologist and seen the first chap- ter of Genesis written in the book of nature illustrated with engraving on rock, and if, stood with the antiquarian while he blew the trumpet of resurrection over buried Herculaneum and Pompeii, until from l imit* sepulcher there came up shaft and terrace and amphitheater. Healthful curiosity has enlarged the telescopic vision of tho as- tronomer, until worlds hidden in tho dis- tant heavens have trooped forth and havo joined tho choir praising the Lord; planet weighed against planet and wildest comet lassooed with resplendent law. Healthful curiosity has gone down and found the tracks of the eternal God in tho polypi ami the starfish under the sea and the under majesty of the great Jehovah encamped the gorgeous curtains of the dahlia, has studied tho spots on the sun, and the larva In a beech leaf, and the light iin- der a firefly's wing, and the terrible eye glance of a condor pitching from Ghhn- borazo. It has studied the myriads of ani- maleul/e that make up the phosphorescence in a ship’s wake, and the mighty maze of suns and spheres and constellations and galaxies that biazo on in tho march of God. Healthful curiosity has stood by the Inven- tor, until forties that were hidden for ages come to wheels and levers and shafts and shuttJes forces that ilv the air or swim the sea or cleave tho mountain until the earth jars and roars and rings and m aokb-s and booms wit!) strange mechanism and ships with nostrils of hot steam and yokes of ilre draw tho continents together. I say nothing against healthful curl- osity. May it have other and’other Leyden jars and other eieetrle batteries, voltaic plies, which arid other magnifying glasses with to storm the barred .-astles of the natural world until it shall surrender Its last secret. Wo thank God for the geological mechanical curiosity of Professor Hitchcock, and the zoological curiosity of Liebig and the curiosity of Cuvier, and the in- ventive curiosity of Kdison, but we must admit that unheaJthful and irregular in- quisitivenesH has rushed thousands and tens of thousands Into ruin. Eve just, tasted the fruit. Hhe wan curious to And out how it tasted, and that curiosity blasted her and blasted all nations. Ho there are clergymen in this day, inspired bp unheaithful inquisitive- ness, who have tried to look through the keyhole of God’s mysteries -mysteries that were hatred and bolted from all human In- spection and they have wrenched their whole moral nature out of joint by trying to plunk fruit from branches beyond their reach, or have come out on limbs of the tree from which they have tumbled into ruin without remedy. A thousand trees of religious knowledge from which we may cat and gee advantage, but from certain trees of mystery how many have plucked their ruin! Election, free agency, trinity, resurrection -in the discussion of those subjects hundreds There find thousands who of actually people ruin the soul. are men have been kept out of the kingdom of heaven because they could not understand who Mclohisedoc was not.

Over that The promise it makes to you is a ife. ungodly banquet the keen sword of God's judgment hangs, and there arc ominous handwritings on the walls, Observe also in this subject how repelling sin is Hitico when appended death to there great has uttrnctivo- been ness. Eve's could no such perfection of womanhood. You not suggest an attractiveness to the body or suggest any refinement to the manner, You could add no gracefulness to the gait, no luster to the eye. no sweetness to tho voice. A perfect Goa made her a perfect perfect woman, to be the companion of a ,nun in 11 Perfect home, and her entire na- ture vibrated in accord with tho beauty and «ong of paradise. But she rebelled against Cr OfVe government, and with tho same hand w,th whloh »ho plucked the fruit she launched upon the world the crimes, the wars, the tumults that have set the Universe walling, terrible all her attractiveness, A offset to ttr ' 5 not surprised when wo Und men and women naturally vulgar going into transgression. We expect that people who of live in the ditch shall have the manners the ditch, but how shocking when we find hlli appended to superior education and to the refinements of social life. 'Jheaccom- pllshments of Mary Queen of Bcots make her patronage of JMrnley, the profligate, the more appalling. The genius of Lather- In*: II. of Mussla only sets forth In mor« powerful contrast her unappeasable ainbb Uon. The translations from the Greek and the Latin by Elizabeth, and her wonderful qualification* for a queen, make the more disgusting her caprieiousness of affection and her hotness of temper. The greatness of Byron's mind makes the more alarming Byron's sensuality. that refinement of Let no one think man ner or exquisiteness of taste or apologize superiority for of education cun in any wise Mi temper, for an oppressive spirit, IMsobodi- for un- kindness, for any kind of sin. ence God ward and transgression man ward can give no excuse. Accomplishment heaven high is no apology for vice hell deep, My subject also impresses me with the regal influence of woman. When I see Eve with this powerful influence over Adam arid over the generations that have fol¬ lowed, it suggests to me the great power all women have for good or for evil. I have no sympathy, nor have you, with the hol¬ low flatteries showered upon women from the platform and the stage. They mean nothing; they arc accepted as nothing. Woman's nobility consists in the exercise of a Christian influence, and when I see this powerful Influence of Eve upon hex husband arid upon the whole human race! make up my mind that the frail arm of woman can strike a blow which will resound through all eternity, down among the dun¬ geons or up among the thrones.

The Kyp*y Women form another unfailing attrac¬ tion to the Occidental visitor. They are wild, merry, picturesque creatures, with flashing eyes, and havo various devices for increasing their bank ac¬ count beside that of fortune telling. Nome sell lavender and herbs, and oth¬ ers sing, play the tambourine, or dance after the manner of the Egyptian girls. They are all adroit thieves, and in their vicinity the fruit from orchards and pullets from hen yards vanish as by luattie. Wild Horses of Montana. Almost, anyone may own a horse in Montana. If he hits not the $5, $10, $‘20 or $50 necessary to puy for tho blood and culture with which any par¬ ticular animal may be endowed he may, if he has tho necessary agility, go out on the range and take one, for there are plenty that don’t belong to any one else. Hi nee the prices on horses fell below the paying point many ranchmen have neglected branding their stock or keep¬ ing any track of it, and in fret, there have been a good many local efforts made by the owners themselves to ex¬ terminate or drive the horses off the immediate ranges that there might be better grass for cattle and sheep. Jt is very repulsive business, to a Western man more especially than anyone else, to shoot a horse, and a man who is capable of it is regarded with rather more circumspection than one who has killed his man. No, being protected by a spark of sentiment, the herds of wild or mave¬ rick horses are really increasing and a right royal breed of animals they are. When the business was good, a few years back, the Montana breeders were the most, energetic, and progressive of any in the west. They bought sires of thoroughbred and trotting blood in Kentucky and turned them loose with their herds. Others who desired size rather than endurance went to Illinois and Canada and purchased great Norman and Clydesdale stallions. While the prices ruled high the two classes were bred separately but of late years they have been allowed to run into one uniform and homogeneous herd. The new breed is of good height an.l strong-boned, with lung power and endurance that are suggestive of a greyhound. the If conditions were to remain same for, say, a period of thirty years of longer, without any new admixture blood it is reasonable to expect that these herds would gradually assume a uniformity of size, shape and color to as great an extent as is noted in any other wild animals.—Chicago Record A unique method of robbory has been discovert d In Topeka, Kan., a man hav.

"For the kingdom of God Is not merit and drink, but righteousness und peace and Joy In the Holy Ghost.” As one has said, the chief business of tile company for whom Christ died is not eating mid drink¬ ing, but a right relation to God, our neigh¬ bors and ourselves. Fence and joy cyme receiving by believing Him (chapter (John xv., l„ 13) who that Is, by 12), is our rlghtoOusnosH and peace (I dor. I., 30; F.ph. II., 14).

" For ho that Christ Is acceptable to God and approved of men." the Acceptable thing, or whether well pleasing to God Is main men ap¬ prove jdo or not.

But consider Him who endured eon- ' (radiation of sinners against Himself lest ye bo weary and faint (Heb. xll.,3). No one < an be as well ideasing to God us tils Be¬ loved Hon, and His treatment from men must be good enough for us (John tho xv., 1S- 20). Let us continually “serve living and true (toil and wait for Ills Hon from heaven,” and all will be well (1 Thcss. i., V, 10;. Let therefore follow aft.-r the lit. “ us things which make for pence anil things wherewith one may edify another,” not peace ut any.price, regardless of the rigid or wrong of It, but the pence which is of God and In fellowship with the 1’rinco of Fence. Kven He said, "1 come not to send peace, but a sword” (Math. x. r 34). And He snokc of trouble even In households for Ills sake. We are to preach peace, to live 'pence and to seek the peace even of our enemies, but It must be in fellowship witli Christ and never apart destroy from Him. 20. ‘‘For meat not tho work of God. All things Indeed are pure. But it Is evil for him who eateth witli offense.” Jn verse IS we had, “Destroy not him,” an.J here It. Is, “Destroy not the work of God.” In Kph. If., 10, We read that "we are His workmanship.” In what sense can this be destroyed? It cannot refer to the loss of the soul, for no truly saved soul can ever perish (John x., 27, 28; lit., 16). But as the Judgment seat of Christ Is the place of judging hero referred to, where only the saints shall appear to be judged for their works as believers, I have no doubt that l Cor. III., 14, 15, helps us to understand the destruction here referred to. 2).
