•R E V. DR. TA LM AG E The Eminent Divine’s Sunday Discourse. Subjeft: Small Annoyancfiii-We BUoultl 8lrive to Overcome tlie Trouble* of Life—With the Help of God's Grace Potty Grievances Become (Copyright, Louis Klopsck, 181)9.1 Washington, D. C.—This sermon by Dr. Talmage deals with a subjeot which ap¬ peals to all classes and conditions of men. His text Is Deuteronomy vll., 20, “The Lo.rd in thy God will seud the horuot.” niy text the hornet llios out on Its mis¬ sion. It Is a species of wasp, swift la its motion and violent lu Its sting, Its touch is torture to man or beast. We have all •seen the cattle run bellowing under the cut of Its lancet. In boyhood we used to stand cautiously looking at the globular nest iiuug from the tree branch, and while we were looking at the wonderful covering we w#cp struck with something that sent us shrieking away. The hornet goes in swarms. It has oaptalns over hundreds, and twenty of them alighting on one man will produce certain death. My friends, when we are assaulted by great behemoths of trouble we become •chivalrie, mettled ami we assault them. We get on the make high steed of our courage, and wo a cavalry chaige at them, and If ■God be with us w« come out stronger aud better than when we went in. But alas for these lnsectite annoyaneos ot life, these fo(fe too small to shoot, these things with¬ out any avoirdupois weight, the gnats and the 1»^ midges and the P.ies ana the wasps and t hornetsl In other words, It is the small, stinging annoyances of our life which be^t drive us out aud use us up. In the conditioned life for some grand and .glorious purpose God lias sent the hornet. I remark, In the first place, that these small, stinging annoyances may come In the shape of a nervous organization. Peo¬ ple who are prostrated iy||ler typhoid fevers or with broken bonee get plenty of •sympathy, but who pities anybody that Is nervous? The doctors say and the family say and everybody says, “Oh, she’s ouly a little nervous; that’s all!” The sound of a heavy foot, the harsh clearing of a throat, a discord in music, a want of harmony be¬ tween the shawl aud tbe glove on the same person, a curt answer, a passing slight, the wind from the east, any one of ten thou¬ sand annoyances, opens the door for the hornet. The fact Is that the vast majority •of the people In this country are over¬ worked, and tbetr nerves are the first to give out. A great multitude are under the straiu of Leyden, who, when he was told by his physician that if be did not stop ■working while he was in such poor physi¬ cal health he would die, responded, “Doc¬ tor, whether X live or die, the wheel mu 9 t keep going round.” These sensitive per¬ sons of whom X speak have a bleeding sen¬ sitiveness. The flies love to light on any¬ thing raw; aud these people are like the Cannaultee spoken of In the text or In the context—they have a very thin covering and are vulnerable at nil points. “And the Lord sent the hornet.” Again, the small Insect annoyances may come to us in the shape of friends and ac¬ quaintances agreeable who ure always saying dis¬ things. There are some people you cannot be with for half an hour but you feel cheered and oomforted. Then there are other people you cannot be with for five minutes before you feel miserable. They do not mean to disturb you, but they sting you to the bone. They gatheraip all the yarn which the gossips spin and Xetall it. They gather up all the adverse criti¬ cisms about your person, about your busi¬ ness, about your home, about your church, and (hey make your ear the funnel Into which they pour it. They laugh heartily when they tell you, as though it wete a •good joke, and you laugh, too—outside. The small insect annoyances of life sometimes come in the shape of local physical trouble which does not amount xo a positive prostration, but which bothers you when you want to feel the best Perhaps it is a sick headache which has been the plague of your life, and you appoint some occasion of mirth or sociality or usefulness, and when the clock strikes the hour you cannot make your appear¬ ance. Perhaps the trouble Is oetweeu the ear and tbe forehead In the shape of -a neuralgic twinge. Nobody can see it or sympathize with It, but just at the time wbon you want your intellect clearest and your disposition brightest you feel a sharp, keen, disconcerting thrust. “The Lord .sent the hornet.” Perhaps these small Insect annoyances will come in the shape of a domestic Irri¬ tation. The parlor and the kitchen do not always harmonize. To get good service and keep it is one of the great questions of the country. Sometimes It may be the ar¬ rogance aud inconsldorateness of employ¬ ers; but, whatever be the fact, we all ad¬ mit there are these Insect annoyances winging their way out from the culinary department. If the grace of God be not in the heart of the housekeeper, The she cannot maintain her equilibrium. meu come home at night aud hear the story of these •annoyances and say, “Oh, these home troubles are very little thlngsl” They are small, small as wasps, but they stiug. Martha’s nerves were all unstrung when she rushed in asking Christ to scold Mary, and there are tens of thousands of women who are dying, stung to death by these pestiferous domestic annoyances. “The Lord sent the hornet.” These small insect disturbances may also oorne In the shape of busine-s irritations. There are men here who went through the 24th of September, 1862, and the panics of 1873 und of 1893 without losing their balance who are every day unhorsed by lit¬ tle annoyances—a clerk’s ill manners, or a blot of ink on a bill of lading, or the ex¬ travagance of a partner who overdraws his account or the underselling by a business rival, or the whispering of store confi¬ dences lu the street, or the making of some little bad debt which was against your judg¬ ment, but you wanted to please somebody else. It is not the panics that kill the mer- ■chants. Panics come only once In ten or twenty years. It Is the constant din of these everyday annoyances which is send¬ ing so many of our best merchants into nervous dyspepsia and paralysis and the .grave. When our national commorce fell flat on its face, those men stood up and felt almost defiant, but their life is going away now under the swann of these pestiferous ■annoyances. “The Lord sent the hornet.” The naturalist tells us that a wasp some¬ times has a family ot 20,000 wasps, and It does seem as if every annoyance of your life brooded a million. By tho help of God, to-day I want to show you the ocher side. The hornet is of no use? Ob, yes! The naturalist tells us they are very important In the world’s economy. They kill spiders, and they clear tbe atmosphere. And I really believe God sends the annoyances of our life upon us to kill the spiders of the soul and to clear the atmosphere of our skies. These annoyaneffs are sent onus, I think, to wake us up from our lethargy. Thera Is nothing that makes a man so lively as a neA of “yellow jackets,” and I think that these annoyances are Intended to persuade us of the fact that this is not a world for us to stop ih. If we had a bed el every¬ thing that was attractive and soft and easy, what would we want ot heaven? Wo think that the hollow tree sends the hor¬ net, or we may '.hint that the devil sends the hornet. I want to oorrect your opinion. “The Lord sent the lgprnet.” Then I think these annoyances come on us to cultivate our patience. In the gym¬ nasium you find upright parallel bars with holes over each other for pegs to be put iu. Then the gymnast take a peg in «a«h hand, and he begins to climb, oue Ineh at a time or two inches, and getting his strength cultivated, reaches after awhile the ceiling. And it seems to me that these annoyances in Hie are a moral gymnasium, each worriment a peg with whfoh we are to elimb higher and higher In Christian attainment. Wo nil love to see patience, but It cannot be cultivated In fair weather. Patlenoe Is a ohtld of the storm. It yon hail everything desirable and there was nothing more to got, what would you want with patlenoe# The onl time to cultivate It Is when you are He about and slok and half dead. “Ob,” you say, “If X only had the cir¬ cumstances of some well to do man Iwoul* bo patient too.” You might as woll sey, "If It wore not for this water, I would swim,” or, “X could shcot this gun it It rvero not for the cartridge.” When you stand oliln deep in annoyances toward is the time for you to swim out the great headlands of Christian attainment, so as to "know Christ and the power of Ills ro- surr«ctto,u and to have fellowship with His sufferings.” but furnace will burn Nothing the ever I have out of us the clinker and the slag. formed this theory In regard to small annoyances and vexations. It takes just so much trouble to lit us for usefulness and for heaven. The only question Is whether -/o shall take It In the bulk or pulverized and granulated. Rore Is one Is man who takes It In the bulk. His back broken or his eyesight befalls put him, out, while or some the other awful calamity vast majority of people take the thing piecemeal. Which way would you rather have It? Of course, In piecemeal Better have live aching teeth than on# broken jaw, better tea fly blisters than an ampu¬ tation, better twenty squalls than one cyclone. There may fca a difference of opinion as to allopathy and homeo¬ pathy, but in this manner of trouble I like homeopathic doses, small pellets of annoyance rather than somo knock¬ down doBe of calamity. Instead qf the thunderbolt give us tile hornet. If yon have a bank, you would a great deal rather that fifty men would come iu with checks less than S 100 than to have two de¬ positors come in the same day, each want¬ ing his .$10,000. In this latter oase you cough and look down to the floor and yon look up to the cetllug before you look Into the safe. Now, my friends, would you not rather have these small drafts of annoy- ance on your bank of faith than some all staggering demand upon your endurance? But remember that little as well ns great annoyances equally require you to trust iu Christ for succor and for deliverance from Impatience and Irritability. “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peao# whose mind is staid on Thee.” I go into a sculptor’s studio and see him shaping a statue. He has a chisel in one hand and a mallet In the other, and he gives a very gentle stroke—cl'ck, click, clickl I say, “Why don’t yonstdke hard¬ er?” "Oh," he replies, “that would shat¬ ter the statue. I can’t do it that way. I must do it this way.” So ho works on, and after awhile the features come out, and everybody that enters the sUtdio is charmed and faselnated. Well, God has your soul under process of development, audit is the little annoyances and vexa¬ tions of life that are chiseling out your immortal nature. It is click, click, click! I wonder why some great providence does not come and with one stroke prepare you for heaven, Ah, no! God says that is not the way, and so He keeps on by strokes of little vexations until at last you shall be a glad spectacle for angels 3 nd for men. You know that a large fortune may be spent In small change, and a vast amount of moral character may go away In small depletions. It is the little troubles of life that are having more effect upon you than great ones. A swarm of locusts will kill a grain-field sooner than the incursion of three or four cattle. You say, “Since I lost my child, sluoe I lost my property, I have been a different man.” But you do not reo- ognize the architecture of little annoy¬ ances that are hewing, digging, cutting, shaping, splitting and interjolning your moral qualities. Bats may sink a ship. One Inciter match may send destruction through a block of storehouses. Catherine de’ Me¬ dici got her death from smelling a poison¬ ous rose. Columbus, by stopplug and ask¬ ing tor a piece of bread and a drink ot water at a Franciscan convent, was led to the discovery of a new world. And there Is an intimate connection between trifles and immensities, between nothings and everythings. Now, be careful to let none of those an¬ noyances gc through your soul unar¬ raigned. Compel them to administer to your splrtltual wealth. The scratch of a sixpenny nail sometimes produces lock¬ jaw, and the clip of a most infinitesimal annoyance may damage you forever. Do not let any annoyance or perplexity come across your soul without its making you better. A returned missionary told me that a company of adventurers rowing up the Ganges, were stung, to death by files that Infest that region at certain sea¬ sons. The earth has been strewed with the carcasses of men slain by Insect annoyances. The only way to get pre¬ pared for the great trouble of life is to conquer these small troubles. Wliat would you say of a soldier who refused to load his guu or to go into the conflict because it was only a skirmish, saying: ••I am not going to expend my ammuni¬ tion on a skirmish. Wait until there comes a general engagement and then you will see bow courageous I am and what battling I will do?” The general would say to such a man, “If you ure not faithful In u skirmish, you would be nothing in a gen¬ eral engagement.” And I have to tell yon, O Christiun men, if you cannot apply the principles of Christ’s religion on a small scale you will never be able to apply them on a large soale. If I had my way with you, 1 would have you possess all pos¬ sible worldly prosperity. I would have you each one a garden, a river flowing through it, geraniums and shrubs on the sides and the grass and flowers as beautiful as though the rainbow had fallen. I would have you a house, a splendid mansion, and the beds should be covered with upholstery dipped In the set¬ ting sun. I would have every hall in your bouse set with statues and statuettes, and then I would have the four quarters of the globe pour in all their luxuries on your table, aud you should have forks of silver and knives of gold, inlaid with diamonds and amethysts. Then you should each one of you have the finest horses and your pick of tbo equipages of the world. Then I would have you live 150 years, and you should not have a pain or an acheuntil the last "Not each one of us?” you say. Yes, each one of you. “Not to your enemies?” Yes. The only difference I would make with them would be that I would put a little extra gilt ou their walls and a little extra embroidery on their slippers. But, you say, tilings?” “Why does not God give us all these Ah! I bethink myself. Ha is wiser. It would make fools and sluggards of us If we had our way. No man puts his best picture in the portico or vestibule of his house. God meant this world to be only the vestibule of heaven, that great gallery of the universe toward which wo are aspiring. this We must not have it too good in world or we would want no heaven. Polycarp was condemned to bo burned to death. The stake was planted. He wa 3 fastened to it. The fagots wore placed around him, the fires kindled, but history tells us that the flame 3 bent outward like the eanvus of a ship In a stout breeze, so that the flames, instead of destroying Polycarp, were only a wall between him and his enemies. They had actually to de¬ stroy him with the poniard. The flames would not touch him. Well, my haarer, I want you to understand that by God’s grace the flames of trial, instead of con¬ suming your soul, are ouly going to be a wall of defense and a canopy of blessing. God is going to fulfill to you the blessings aud the promises, as He did to Polyearp. “When thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned.” Now you do not un¬ derstand, but you shall know hereafter. In heaven you will bless God even for the hornet. The Religion of tho Icelanders.

The Russian ice breaker Yermak, the largest vessel of its kind In the world, has just returned to the Tyne, where she was built, after a very successful voyage to the Polar Sea. She was built to break the Ice of the Baltic and the Kara sea, so as to give ships access :o the Russian ports and rivers at times when they have hitherto been closed by winter. Last March the Yermak entered the frozen up port of Cron- Tadt with comparative ease, and then going to Revel, liberated thirty-three vessels of the value $27,500,000, and some of which were In great danger., Then returning to Cronstadi and St. Petersburg she opened out the way for the entry of forty steamers several weeks bofore the ordinary time. This work proved tbe commercial value of the Yermak, but all the same it was deemed wise to subject her to more se¬ vere testa. Aecot’dingly her command¬ er, Vice Admiral Makaroff, of the Im¬ perial Russian navy, took her to the Polar sea some six jveoks ago, calling at Advent Bay, Spitzbergen, en route. Polar Ice was encountered In latitude SO degrees, 15 minutes, and for a month the Yermak was put to very stiff trial among this. Some of the plain Ice was fourteen feet thick, and the pack or ridge ice rose to a height of eighteen feet on the surface, and was ascertained by careful measure¬ ment to be as deep as seven fathoms In places. The Yermak behaved splen¬ didly, and traveled through some 230 miles of such obstacles at an average speed of three to four knots per hour. Her commander expresses himself as highly satisfied with the performance, though he has discovered that the ves¬ sel may be strengthened with advan¬ tage in certain parts. The work she will have to do on the Russian coast will not be nearly so severe, Admiral Makaroff says, for In the Baltic the Ice seldom becomes more than three feet thick, and toward the mouths of the Siberian rivers it is not likely to ex¬ ceed five feet six inches. The result of the Polar trip strengthens Admiral Makaroff In his conviction that future Arctic explodation. If It Is to be thor¬ oughly successful, must be conducted, or, at any rate, Initiated by Ice break- ers. A Limit. “Now,” said the careful newspaper man, as he showed the statesman an Interview, “you are quite sure you said all this?” "Yes,” was the reflective answer: "I’m sure I said it: but I can’t be sure about bow long I'll remember I said It”—Washington Star.

An Interesting contribution to a series of publications being Issued by the Department of Agriculture em¬ bracing investigations into the food and nutrition of man, tms been made by Professor Harry Snyder, of the Minnesota Agricultural College. The paper contributed by Professor Snyder relates to experiments made at the Minnesota University in bread-making. The average “pound loaf” of fresh bread as sold by bakers, says the Pro- fesaor^ weighed on an average about one pound one ounce. A penml loaf of bread can be made from aboift three- quarters of a pound of flour, about 25 per cent, of water being added to the flour during the process of bread-mak¬ ing. With some flours 5 to 10 per cent, more water can be absorbed, making a greater weight of bread from a given weight of flour, This additional weight Is water and not nutrients. At two cents a pound for flour, it is estimated by Professor Snyder that a pound loaf of bread can be made, not counting fuel and labor, for about two cents, a half cent being allowed for shortening and yeast. The loss of dry matter in bread-making Is usually con¬ sidered as amounting to about 2 per cent, of the flour used. In exceptional eases, as In prolonged fermentation, under favorable conditions the losses may amount to 8 par cent, or more.— Boston Transcript.

BULLDOG THAT DIVES. The Animal Can Stay Under Water a Minute and a Half, A bulldog owned by Meek Wende of Wenrle Station, Erie County, has de¬ veloped a trait which, dog-fanciers say, is a very rare one. The animal will dive to the bottom of pools ten feet deep. He will do so at his owner's bid¬ ding and will do so of his own accord If his owner does not see fit to encour¬ age the trick. The dog Is about two years old and has been a diver for a year. Unlike most bulldog# be took to the water when he was very young and regularly ont-swam a spaniel belonging to Mr. Wende. A year ago this July a small boy at Wende Station was drowned in a swimming hole beneath a railway bridge. The water at that point ranges 'n depth from 10 to 25 feet and the area of the deep water was about 50 square yards. Grappling hooks were used in Tain by the men who endeavor¬ ed to find the body. Young men began to d^ve and Meek Wende and his bull¬ dog eat and wntehed the proceedings. Diver after diver came up empty-hand¬ ed and the bulldog manifested much restlessness. At length, when Its #wner was not looking, the dog Jumped Into the stream, swam around a few min¬ utes and, to the surprise of every one, disappeared beneath the surface. It was the dog’s first dive. I* about thir¬ ty seconds the dog came to the surface, shook himself, breathed a low times and descended again. Seven or eight tidies the dog went under and when he came up the last time he had the body of the boy. Dick, -which Is Jho dog’s name, has been a diver ever since that time. So far as hi* owner knows, he has never gone down more than ten feet, but he can make that depth with ease. Mr. Wende has ouly to drop a stone or a knife or a watch Into the creek back of the house, and the dog will go after It. Dick mano“uvers differently than does a man. He swims out a few strokes and then gradually lets hi* body sink, paddling as he descends, so that he will go down at an angle. When the water has been clear, Mr. Wende has seen Dick walking around on the bot¬ tom, nosing in the mud or gravel. At first a half minute was the limit of the animal’s endurance under water but now he often remains beneath the sur¬ face as long as a minute and a half.— New York Sub.
