An Incident of the Brooklyn Revival.

WHEN the revival in Brooklyn was at
its height, very wealthy, cultivated and
skeptical lady from New York went over
there to hear Mr.. Moody preach. She
was amazed and little disguised by his
style of oratory. But for some reason,
which probably she could not have de-
fined, she went again. Still again. On
her fourth visit, she passed into the inqui-
ry-room, and said to Mr.. Moody that she
would like to hear from him, directly and
privately, his argument why she should
become a Christian. He answered her,
saying: " Madam, | know of no surer
way to reach your heart than through
prayer. Let us pray" Mr.Moody knelt.
His manner was such that the lady could
not choose, but knelt beside him. He
asked her to repeat after him his prayer.
In low, earnest tones, and with all the
tender and pathetic phraseology of which
oD occasions he is master, he uttered his
supplicaton, pausing after each sentence
for his companion to follow. The prayer
concluded with the VOW
And now, o Lord, l give my life to
theer'
MIR Moody" said the lady, in a hard,
painful whisper, Il cannot say that;
truly cannot"
Mr.. Moody made no reply, nor did he
change his position. There was pause
of half a minute. Then again he uttered
the words:
And now, o Lord, l give my life to
Thee"
The lady, trembling, did not respond.
The evangelist paused for about the same
space as before, motionless. And now,
with voice still more resolute and fer
vici, he repeated for the third time the
pledge. After momentary interval of
silence, the new convert said:
"And now, o Lord, give my life to
Thee!'
Mr.. Moody rose, took his weeping
charge by the hand, with the words:
" Madam, I devoutly thank God" and
led her quietly to the door. She has ever
since been actively employed in religious
work

When dry, the leather will adhere so tight

that are injuriously acted upon by the
ammoniacal exhalations common in sta

the addition of little glycerine to the oil
or backing with which their surfaces are
treated.
EXPERIMENTS as to the penetrating
power of colored light show that the blues
are not visible half league of, and
should not be used as lighthouse signals.
White, red and green lights can be seen
the farthest. The green looks like a
white light when at distance, and should
be used only in contrast.
DR.. ULTzMAN, of the University of
Vienna, in a paper read before the medi-
cal society of Lower Austria, on the use
of Photography in Medical Science"
said that an eruption of smallpox had
been made evident by photography twen-
ty.four hours before it actually came out.
Although nothing was to be seen unusual
on the skin of the patient, the negative
plate showed stains on the face which per-
fectly resembled the variolous exanthem,
and twenty four hours later the eruption
became clearly evident.
Mr.. CoRvIN, of London, in his PAM
phlet on hydrophobia, indorses the theo-
ry of DR.. Thompson, according to which
it is vulgar error that patients in hydro
phobla are mad. They are not mad
there is no such thing as madness con-
nected with the disease. The Duke OF
Richmond, who, while Governor General
of Canada, was bitten by rabid fox,
and suffered from the most violent parox-

Keeping Useless Horses.

THIS is subject which deserves more
attention than it generally receives
Thousands of hoi SEES are kept at large
expense without doing enough work to
earn their board. In many cases these
superfluous horses could be made use
full by employing more help; but where
this is practicable they should be dis
posed of at once J.V. W. writes as fol-
lows, in the Country Gentleman, on this
topic:
The habit of keeping lot of useless
horses, almost too good to give away and
hardly worth keeping, in many families
is hereditary, handed down from father
10 son, and has become chronic com
plant. What shall be done to remedy
this evil? The answer is-avoid acca-
mutation. Very few men start in bust
ness with too many horses, but they in
crease in different ways. Farmer A thinks
it would be profitable to raise few colts
to sell, which is all well enough. Neigh
Dor B has sold one for a good price,
and A knows his colt is fully as good acne,
if not better, and of course he must have
the same price, or more. Time rolls on,
horses are on the increase, finally team
is supposed to be ready for sale. This
time neighbor c has sold team for a
fancy price, A feels now that he has too
MANY horses, and would like to sell his
team, and would do so if he could get
the price C sold at. He knows his team
is Just as coed, perhaps not quite so well
matched, or in as prime condition, or as
well broken; yet in his own mind he is
satisfied that his team is really worth the
most money. He does not realize that to
get fancy price it is more important to
have good customer than good team.
Yet Farmer A is not discouraged, but
means to sell his team, and have a good
price for them.
In few years he will have from six to
nine horses on the farm, and no more
work than three or four at most could do,
| if we'll fed and cared for. These extra
horses are an expense of at least from $75
to 800 yearly, taking into account feed,
shoeing and interest on the money for
which they might be sold. How much
better to devote this sum to Improvements,
charity, travel, or good books! The
amount of labor that a good team can do
when well fed and cared for by person
who makes it his business to follow them,
is wonderful. Experience teaches me
that they are fully equal to two teams fed
and cared for in the average way among
farmers; and certainly the expense is
much less. This is what is to be looked
after in all business, for just in proportion
as expenses are curtailed or increased will
the profits be more or less.
Keeping an extra team year after year,
simply to do acouple of weeks extra work
in the spring, and as much more in the
fall, is worse than useless. My remedy to
avoid this increase of horse stock is to
sell. Whenever | can get buyer for a
horse, do not hold on to get my neigh
boris prices. AS said before, more de.
ponds on the customer than on the horse
as far as getting fancy price is concerned
1t is better TO suffer inconvenience ten
days in the year on account of not having
teams enough, than to be harassed all the
rest Of the year with too many.

ity. and the customer swallows the lie,
pretending to believe it as if it was part
of the trade that he should do SO. Grace,
truth and religion combined have thus
far failed to root out this curse of business
lying. Mr.. Gelsen made a singular ap'
plication of his theory, as he seems to
have used it to cheat the Government in
stead of cheating customer, but he
should be credited with courage in be
ing bold enough to give utterance to his
belief in business lies, which are univer
sal in every community, and as disgrace
full as they are universal. MIR. Golsen''
application of his theory seems to be tn
worst feature of it. In its general state
ment he only enunciated course of bust
ness conduct which is almost UNIVERSAL.

netian glass, ancient tapestry and old
costumes used in painting certain histori-
cal pictures, are extremely valuable. The
accessories of the studios OF Vlbert or
Cassiglione, for instance, are worth no
less than 5000 each, at moderate COM
putation, and at European prices. Even
the colors are, in certain instances, very
costly. Then comes the question OF
framing. The frame of moderate sized
picture may cost anywhere from $40 to
$500. Gustave Dore is said to have paid
$500 Tor a frame for one of his colossal
| compositions. And, moreover, in these
| days of keen competition, a painter,
| especially if devoted to landscape, cannot
sit quietly down and evolve things out
| of the depths of his moral conscious
ness. He must travel, he must study
Nature in all the varied aspects that he
wishes to represent, and these journeys
cost money. As for sculptors, they are
still worse off as regards expense. To
! embody their ideal in marble costs no less
than 81 200 for each statue, the carvers
that copy the clay model in marble, and
turn over the statue to the sculptor all
ready to receive the finishing touches, be-
ing paid some $500 for every one that they
undertake. The block of marble for a
| lIfe-sized statue costs about $3.50, nor can
the artist ever tell how his stone is going
to turn out. 1t may be of the finest quail
ity, and as white as the driven snow out
side, yet may contain hidden flaws and
stains that will be only too apparent on the
surface of his statue. Years ago l heard
of young sculptor in Rome who had ex-
pended all his time, his talent and his
means in the production of female fg-
ure, on which he founded all his hopes of
success and of future fame. 1t came
from the hands of the carver fair as his
fancy had pictured it, but with broad,
black vein extending from the parting OF
the hair to the tip of the nose. The young
man cast one look at the disfgIred face
that represented the ruin of his hopes,
turned away, retired to an inner chamber,
and there committed suicide.-AppLet0nS'

Business Lies.

Mr.. WILLIAM GoLsEN, the rectitier and
witness in the Mum case, draws nice
distinction in the matter of lying. Upon
his cross examination Mr.. Golsen laid
down this broad proposition: II may
have told Mr.. Mum a lie. l have right
to tell lies if can make money by them"
The proposition seems to have startled
Col. 1ngersoll, who is considerable OF q
philosopher, and so he asked the witness
" If you will lie to make money, just tell
me whether you would lie to keep out of
the Penitenriary To which the witness
replied: "No, sir, would not" Col.
Ingersoll then drew out the following
nice distinction: "But you would lie to
make a dollar ~ To which said the man
who wouldn't lie to save himself from
the Penitentiary: ooh, but that's bust
ness"
Mr.. Golsen's theory as to mendacity
may seem at first sight very finely drawn,
but when it is examined below the sur.
face Mr.. Golsen's practice or rule of life
with regard to lying will be found too
often in consonance with the general prac-
tees of commercial life. Mr.. Golsen's
lying for dollar is the way of too many
traders the world over. How many traders
consider it wrong to conceal the
bad qualities of their goods or mag
nifty the good qualities? What boot
maker considers it lie to inform his
customer that his boots will last year
when he knows they will not last six
months? What per cent. of clothiers con-
slider it to bea lie to tell the purchaser that
suit of clothes will do good service
when they know that the garments
are shoddy stuff? What horse dealer
hesitates to recommend horse as perfect
when he knows that the animal is full of
defects? Every department of business,
especially dry goods trading, is character
lied by this Indifference to lying. How
often is the cost price misrepresented !?
There seems to be sort of moral obliquity
in this regard. Lying to make dollar"
has become part of the machinery of
business. The trader lies without y
qualm Of conscience as to price and quail.
