Then shall the kingdom of Satan
be liIened to grain Of tobacco
seed: which, though exceedingly
small. being cast into the GROUND,
grew, and cpread its leaves ranR
and broad, so that huge and wiid
worms found habitation thereon
And it came to pass. in the coui sc
of time, that the sons Of men looked
upon il. and thought it beautiful TO
look upon, and much to be desired
TO make lads look big and manly;
So thew put forth their hand, ana
chewed thereof. And some 1t made
sick. and others to vomit most III
thily. And it further came TO pass
that those who chewed it became
weak and unmanly, and sald, we
are enslaved, and cannot cease from
chewing it. And the mouths OF all
that were enslaved became foul,
and thew were seized with a violent
splitting. and they did spit in ladies'
parlors. and in the house OF the
Lord of hosts. And the saints OF
the Most High were greatly plagued
thereby. And in the course oil
time it came to pass that others
snuffed it and they were taken
suddenly with fits, and they ana
sneeze with great and mighty
sneeze. insomuch that their eyes
were filed with tears, and they did
look exceedingly silly. And yet
others cunningly wrought the
leaves thereof into rolls, and did
set fire TO one end thereof, and did
look very brave and calf like; and
the smoke of their torment ascend
eth up forever and ever.
And the cultivation thereof be-
came a great and mighty buiness
in the earth and the merchantmen
waxed rich by the commerce there
of. And it came to pass that the
saints of the Most High deiiled
themselves Herewith; even the
poor. who could not buy shoes, MOI
bread, nor books for the little ones,
spent their money for it. And the
Lord was greatly displeased there
with, and said: Wherefore this
waste and why do those little ones
lack bread, and shoes, and books
Turn now your fields into corn and
wheat, and put this evil thing far
from you; and be separate, and de-
file not yourselves any more; and
will bless you, and cause my face
to shine upon you.
But with one accord they all eX-
claimed:
ave cannot cease from chewing
snuffing and putting; we are slaves.

Successful Preachers.

Says the London fireman, 1T Is
an inestimable comfort as well as q
benefit of the Church of Christ,
that the most successful preachers
of modern days are plain, though
powerful men, dealing plainly with
a plain gospel. The modest stu
dent. the simple local preacher, the
timid country pastor, after joining
in the living mass OF worshlppers
at the Tabernacle Of Bloomsbury,
goes away without detection Of
Spirits. Recognizing nothing in
the staple of the discourse save the
familiar truths of the great Atone
ment, set forth with sympathy,
power, and the lively grasp of pres

have not their powers, but l have
the weapons. l, too, can ask, and

God has not made the pulpit success
in these or in any other days con-
ditional on the possession of learn
ing like Jeremy Taylor's, wit like
South's or metaphysics like Eos

elaborate, exhausted essay of oul

but whether from men of golden clio

EFFECT OF TOBACCO on THE
NIEp.-Science and statistics have
attacked the smoking fraternity,
and smokers will not very much
relish the verdicts. For instance,
a comparisonrecently made between
smokers and non-smokers IN the
Polytechnic school OF Paris shows
that the smokers not only rank be-
low the non-smokers in every grade,
but that they lose grade constantly.
This would mean to anti-tobacco
preachers, of course, that the
smokers had less brains to start
with, or they would have adopted
the habit in the first place, and that
the weed tended to destroy what
little sense they had. AT any rate,
although brains and cigars do seem
to live and flourish and live in har-
mony on this side of the water, the
French Minister Ct Public lnistruc-
ton has forbidden pupils to smoke
or chew the dangerous weed. l.
we add to this testimony the words
of some of the most celebrated ply
sicians, that many of the nervous
diseases of this generation can b'
traced to the free use OF tobacco
we cannot avoid the conclusion
that the "coming man" will drol
that with other "sociap' and un
clearly habits.

An ingenious culinary utensli mas

atus consists in unique arrange
ment of coffee pot, which Is set
over lamp or gas flame, and clos
ed air tight by means of cover

a deep trough that is formed around

nected with the regulator OF the

is generated within the pot, the hd

the regulator, it causes the tiame 10
be generated with sufficient rapidi-
ty to rise the lid higher. Mr.. Huch
constructs the pot with an inner
vessel fitting closely within it at
the upper part, and this inner yes,
sci has a perforated bottom covered
with felt, flannel, or similar materi-
al. ON which the coffee rests; a
pine descends through the perfora-
ted bottom of the pot. When the
water in the pot boils, the pressure
of the steam drives the water mp
the pipe into the upper vessel and
over the coffee. The water then
comes in contact with the lid, the
lid floats; being thus lifted, by
means of apparatus connected with
it. it extinguishes the flame beneath
The steam in the lower part OF the

cooler, and the vacuum so formed
causes the water to condense thro
the coffee, and the infusion is then
ready to be drawn off for use.
