None OF the revival meetings OF MOODY
and sAKKEY have been viewed with more inter
est than those held erclusively for women on
the afternoons Of the last two Sundays. The
women have crowded TO them in multitudes,
greater than even the Rink could accommo ate.
The masses OF attendants have been pretty
evenly divided between women Of tho middle
range CT society and women OF the working
classes. There were thousands present last
SUNDAY and the previous Sunday, whose gar
ments and general appearance gave proof that
their life was one OF and luxury.
Many were young and some were old but all
were eager listeners to the sermons and songs
OF the n vivalists. The spectacle was one upon
which " was impossible TO look without a pro-
found feeling OF interest. These women were
not ashamed to show that they are seekers OF
religion, that they realize thev are sinners, that
they are DESTROYS Of regeneration and anxious
about their salvation. We should suppose that
MOODY and SANKEY would seiLe such an oppor-
tunity. would display unusual power In their
presence, and would be reused to deeds Of pous
herosm and triumph. The conversion Of the
female portion of the brooklyn community
would involve the moral transformation of the
whole city. The influence Of IL would be all
pervasive, Ali-controrng, and radical. II the
female sinners would turn from their evil
thoughts and ways. and practise all the virtues
OF true religion In their daily lives, the sinners
OF the other sex could not long keep up their
career of wick dness. II IL to be hoped, there
fore, that MOODY and SASKEy will work with
all their might among the women OF Brooklyn.

Mr.. GEORGE ii. STUART OF Philadel-
phia, who has been working with MOODY and
sAsKEY in Brooklyn, complains that some OF
the New York papers scarcely notice the re-
vival. We are sorry TO hear this. The revival Ia
matter Of interest 10 the whole community,
and Its progress Ia a striking feature Of the daily
news. Our own observation does not accord
with Mr.. sTUARTs. "A a matter OF fact. every
daily paper IN the city tells its readers about the
revival and the Brooklyn meetings There never
before was religious revival which attracted
any such attention from the press, OF was 80
much assisted thereby. Not point Of 1t has
escaped TIE SUN, not even Mr.. sTUART'r ap-
pearance at II. We have not only brought its
phenomena to the light, hut we nave done what
We could TO give 1t the right direction, and To

pllsh. The D:ooklyn revival cannot be what IL
ought to be, without the cooperation OF the
newspapers.

4 SIMPLE THERMOMETER.

A very simple thermometer has been
suggested by A. Jaksch, of Bohemia,
after the following plan An ounce bot
tie is to be two-thirds filed with glycer-
inc of any desired color, and placed in
freezing mixture of sal-ammoniac,
saltpeter and water, so as to cool the
liquid to thirty-two degrees Fahrenheit.
A glass tube twelve to fifteen inches
long is passed through a good-fitting
cork, so as to dip nearly an inch into the
glycerine. The cork is inserted in the
bottle and rendered alright with sealing
wax or cement of varnish and chalk,
and the thermometer is then ready to be
graduated. On inserting the cork the
liquid rises in the tube a few inches.
The bottle is placed in melting ice, and
the level of the liquid marked thirty-two
degrees, if the scale is to be Fahren-
heit's. 1t is next placed in warm water,
say at 1872 degrees, and this point marked.
The space between these points is divided
into 100 equal parts, and this division
carried down to the Fahrenheit zero, and
upward to the top of the tube.

BE MIND no YOUR WIFE.

Friend, your wife loves neatness now,
when you enter that home which she is
trying to make attractive to you, see that
you show corresponding desire. You
like to see your wife neatly and tastefully
dressed at home follow her example,
and throw off with the care of the world,
your soiled garments and be clean and
tasty. When you take your paper to
read do not read to yourself and leave
her to lonesome thoughts while sewing
or mending, but remember that she, too,
has been working hard all day, and is
still working. Read to her whatever In
terests you, SO that her interest and
opinion may grow with yours, and that she
may comprehend something besides love
stories, of which too many have read
more than they should.

FINGER Mills.

If finger-tips have language of their
own, so have the nails and the manner
of keeping is as eloquent as all the rest.
Some keep them long and pointed, like
"reminiscences of claws others bite
theirs close to the quick some pare and
trim and scrape and polish up to the
highest point of artificial beauty and
others, carrying the doctrine of nature
to the outside limit, let them grow wild,
with jagged edges, broken tracts, and
agnails or back friends as the agoniz-
ing consequences. Sometimes you see
the most beautiful nails, pink, transpar-
ent, filbert-shaped, with the delicate
filmy little haf-moon indicated at
the base-all the conditions of beauty
carried to perfection, but all rendered
of no avail by dirt and slovenliness /;
while others, thick, white, ribbed,
square, with 10 half-moon, spotted like
so many circus horses with "gifts and
friends" and the hke-that is, with
out beauties and with positive blem-
ishes-are yet pleasant to look at for The
care bestowed on them, their dainty
perfection of cleanliness being charm
in itself. Nothing indeed is more dis
gushing than dirty hands and neglected
nails, and nothing gives one such a
sense of freshness and ease as the same
members well kept. But one of the ughest
things in nails is when they are bitten I;
which, to judge by what one sees, is a
habit having irresistible destinations for
those given over to it. 1t is an action,
by the way, that has more than one sig
nificance. 1t may mean consideration,
doubt, hesitancy or it may mean anger
and annoyance (; or, as habit, it may
point to the not remote possibility of
madness. In any way it is ugly to look
at, and worse than ugly in its results
bare finger-tips, with the protecting
cover gnawed to the bleeding flesh, be-
longing to the list of things mutilated
and willfully spoiled therefore taken
out of the category of things ugly by
nature, hence misfortunes for which the
sufferer Is in no wise accountable.

TH4T IMPORTANT Word /"


How we swing and hang the balance
ON the word "Ifl" If we were rich in
stead of poor, into what manifold bless
ings should our gold resolve itself How
those dear to us, deserving yet never
possessing aught of this worlds luxuries,
should revel in the pleasures and COM
forts, small and great, that gold can buy
If the demon anger had not burst his
bonds one day, the hasty words would
have remained unspoken, and we should
still possess that which cannot be re-
gained-a friendship lost. If we had
but waited one little day, ere penning
the letter whose every word was bitter
ness-the letter which reached its desti-
nation but too safely, bearing on its
white wings wounds sharper than steel
can give-what wild self-reproaches and
what bitter tears of regret would have
been saved us We are tired of this old
home, beneath the shadow of whose
roof-tree we have dwelt for so many
years. If we could only go out into the
great, busy, bustling world, see what
others have seen, and do what others
have done If we might only hope to
win name and fame There are noun
tains, we know, so lofty and magnificent
that these puny hills stretching around
us would sink into mere footstools be-
side them. If we could but journey
toward them now, after patient toiling
reach them, rest in shadow of their base
awhile, and afterward ascend until we
gained the dazzling summit If there
were only more of sun, and less of cloud,
on our pathway 1t is too sultry. If it
would only rain ! 1t is too cold. If the
sun would shine brighter, If we could only
be content with what we have and are If
flowers bloomed, and mother earth wore
her robe of green all the year round-if
we could always be in good temper-if
people never criticised OF found fault
with other people-if no sharp words
were uttered-if friends never turned to
foes-if we were all as good and kind
and loving as it lies in our power to be-
what sunny paradise we might make of
our world

According to recent statistics, the ex-
tent of the forests of Russia in Europe
is about AZ, 1897, 800 acres, or 40 per cent.
of the whole area. The forests are very
unequally distributed, and although cul-
tivation and communication are thus
rendered impracticable, the facilities are
becoming every year increased. Nearly
65 per cent of the forest land is situate
in the four governments of the north
in Archangel, Vologda, Olonetz, and
Perm. Between 1866 and 1870 upward
of $1,000 acres were planted, exclusive
of the action of private owners. The
principal trees are the Scotch pine,
spruce fir, larch, birch, lime, aspen, and
oak. The value of the forest products
exported in 1871 amounted to 16, 026, 553
roubles. But the internal consumption
gives O better idea of the immense
wealth of these forests. The approx
innate value, as stated by Mr.. Werekhn,
must be at least 265, $50, 900 roubles per
annum. Wood is the only fuel used in
Russia, and the railways consume wood
to the annual value of 1900, 900 roubles.
1t is estimated that 1900, 900 wooden
spoons are manufactured every year.

We looked at her, and at each other, and
we blubbered like babies. But when
she was put into her mothers arms, when
the excitement was over, she gave way,
and went into dead faint-a syncope,
the doctor called it-tilat lasted for days,
and all the village went up to look at her,
lying there so white and still, in her,
night-dress, as if she were dead and in
her shroud.
"But finally she came out of it, and
got well, and though all the doctors con-

her feet, we wouldn't hear to it and so
they were both saved, and as good as

HI, LITTLE MAIDEN!

All, little maiden, frank and fair,
With rosy lips apart,
With sunbeams glinting in your hair,
And sunbeams at your heartl
Glad sounds about your senses rise,
That have no voice for me;
Blithe visions dance before your eyes,
That mine may never see.
And are the flowers so rare, love?
And is the day - brights
For me the boughs are hare, love,
And chill descends the night.
An me, mind me of a TIM,
Deep in the buried past,
When 1, too, dweIt in the sweet cline,
Wherein your lot is cast;
When fragrance foated on the breeze,
When heaven bent blue above,
And every wild bird in the trees
ang still of hope and love.
Dead are those flowers so rare, love,
and dimmed thatday so bright;
For me the boughs are bare, love,
And chill descends the night
Grim clouds came up, and overspread
The heavens with sullen gray;
The roses dropped, the fragrance fed,
The breezes died away.
And now, of all the happy throng,
One bird is left alone.
To sing broken-hearted song
OF Joys forever flown.
Dead are those flowers so rare, love,
And dimmed that say so bright;
For me the boughs are bare, love,
And chill descends the night

WOLF GESERALsHIP.

Our pioneer method of hunting wolves,
by encircling a large section of land and
drawing in, is initiated by the wolves
themselves in India, if Col. w. Camp
bell tells the truth. Through tele-
scope he saw at distance small herd
of antelopes, and further on pack OF
wolves sitting together, apparently in
consultation as to the mode of catching
the "deer" animals. Soon five of the
wolves marched off and cautiously sta
toned themselves in circle around the
herd, which did not perceive them. One
wolf remained at the original station,

Il DOUBTFUL STORY BUT Il FINE
MORAL

An incident which took place during
the recent "coll snap" at Bangor,
Maine, has q moral which should sink
like plummet into the heart of every
young man and woman of matable age.
There was grand sleigh-ride in the vi
cinity of the town named, on one of the
coolest of the cold nights, a sleigh-ride of
the old-fashioned kind, where young
men and maidens tumble into a sleigh
together, and, protected by numerous
buffalo robes and intimate companion
ship, usually manage to keep warm
though the mercury may be ridiculously
down below zero. On the sleigh-ride in
question one young lady became cold,
and her sweetheart, to make her COM
Portable, wrapped her closely in huge
blanket, covering even her head and face.
She did not protest, and the merry party
were carried on for miles, when remark
addressed to the mummified young lady
singularly brought no response. The
blanket was removed from her face, and
she was found to be no longer alive
Too drowsy and benumbed to stir, she
had suffocated in the prisoning blanket,
while her companions were unaware that
she was dying The case was remark
able one, certainly, if tho account is true,
and the moral is obvious. Young men
and young ladies in a sleigh should be
enabled to keep warm without the use of
suffocating blankets. If young man
cannot make young lady comfortable
without smothering her, he has no bust
ness sleigh-riding. No young lady was
ever suffocated by manly arm, and, as
for smothering one with kisses, that's a
poetic expression with no literal signif-
canoe.
