A Strange Announcements.

The War Cry, the organ of the English
Salvation Army recently contained the fol-
lowing sensational announcement in large
display headlines:
Frozen to death last Sunday, owing to the
extreme cold prevailing all around him (no
professed worshipper of God having even
given him a warm shake of the hand or
sparkling look) Jack Goddess died in his sins
without the least hope, and his soul perishedl
As he did not feel like going TO any place of
worship, and as nobody seemed particularly
to want him to go, he stayed out in the fog,
where so many millions remain unable to see
whether there is nything in religion He
might have been saved if anybody had been
willing to take the trouble to go out to him,
but those whose dutyit was to do so thought
it was quite unreasonable to expect them to
turn out such day! His dead body having
been duly laid out and the fact of his death
having been generally made known, an in
quest was held without the assistance of
coroner. at the headquarters of the Salvation
Army, 101 Queen Victoria street. E. c., where
the following verdict was directed to be en-
tered in the War Cry: The soul of the de-
ceased was lost owing to exposure to tempta-
ton without any friendly help to salvation,
and there can be no doubt that somebody
was guilty OF gross negligencep

hands OF the revisers for further considera-
ton. At present the Revised Testament has
no standing as compared with the authorized
version, and, of course, its sale suffers in
consequence"
Rev. DR.. J. NJ Scudder, of Vellore, India,
wishes that every missionary in the land
were medical man, and urges the home So
cieties not to send out any workers who have
not at least slight knowledge of medicine.
He visited two towns for several years in
succession without gaining the least hold,
apparently, upon the people, when slight
surgical service on his part opened both their
hearts and homes. This reminds one of the
medicine men" among the aborigines OF
this country, who were physicians for both
body and soul.
The quasi-military organization of relig-
ious sects seems to be wonderfully popular
just now among a certain class of English
men. Thirteen new denominations were
registered last year at Somerset House, and
these include Army of the Kings Own"
"Hosanna ARMY" Redeemed Army"
Royal Gospel Army" and salvation Navy"
The London roughs who organized the ''Skel-
eton Army last fall, in derison of the Saliva
ton Army, make City Road. almost impassa-

Letters have been addressed to London
from the spiritual heads of the Jewish COM
munlty OF Jerusalem reporting that the bur-
ial-place of the Prophets Haggai, Zechariah,
and Malachi, which has been preserved to
the Jews from time immem oral, is about to
be sold by the Turkish authorities to aChris-
tan sect who intend to build a church upon
the site. At the urgent request of the Jewish
authorities, Raouf Pasha has deferred the
completion of the sale. But it is anticipated
that unless prompt Intervention takes place
to prevent the threatened dissertation, the
questionable rights of the purchasers will be
enforced. The site which was purchased by
the Russian Archimandrite in Jerusalem for
ESQ, is situated on the ascent of the Mount of
Olives adjoining the Jewish cemetery. For
this reason, says the Jewish Chronicle, it is
probable that if proper and prompt represen-
tation be made to to the Porte, the threatened
dissertation of the sacred spot may be
averted.
/ freely confess to you that I would rather
when am laid in the grave, some one in his
manhood would stand over me and say;
There lies one who was a real friend to me-
and privately warned me of the dangers of
the young; no one knew it, but he aided me
in the time of need. | owe what l am to
him." Or would rather have some widow,
with choking utterance, telling her children:
There is your friend and mine. He visited
ME in my affection, and found you, my son,
an employer and you, my daughter, happy
home in virtuous family" | say | would
rather that such persons would stand at my
grave than to have erected over it the most
beautiful sculptured monument of Partisan
or Italian marble. The hearts broken ut
terance of reflections of past kindness, and
the tears of grateful memory shed upon the
grave, are more valuable, in my estimation,
than the most costly cenotaph ever reared

The Czarina,s Coronation Outfit.

st. petersburg Letter.
The magnificent mantle which the Czarina
will wear at the coming coronation in made
of cloth of gold, bordered with armorial
bearings embroidered in silk and gems. The
crown placed on her head will be the one
used at the coronation of the Empress Cath
crime ii. and Elizabeth. Its value is esti-
mated at three million rubles. and it is COM
posed of diamonds, rubies, and large num-
Der of pearls. 1t her scepter will blaze the
great Orlof diamond, which is said to weigh
eight carats more than the Koh-i-noor. The
procession will consist of thirty three carri-
ages. That of the Czarina was made at
Berlin by the orders of frederick the Great
and presented by him to the Empress Eliza
beth. 1t is kind of double throne with
out springs, but hung ON four bands of red
velvet. A single window, framed in white
sattin forms the front and the imperial
eagle and the crown set III brilliants adorn
the panels 1t will be drawn by eight white
horses, caparisoned with red velvet and
flashing with gold and precious stones.

A Missionary Steamboat.



A new steamboat, intended as memorial
of the late Rev. Henry Wright and to be
used in connection with the Church Mission
airy Society's East African Mission, was
launched a few days ago at Blackwell The
vessel was christened Henry Wright by Miss
Agnes Wright, daughter of the deceased
An interesting address was delivered by Sir
John Kennaway, NJ. P, who said that the
memory of Henry Wright will be always
honored and beloved; but his friends could
hardly be satisfied without giving practical
expression to their sense of the loss they had
sustained by some tribute of remembrance
and affection which should have for its OBJ
ject the active promotion of missionary work
Africa had been the first object of mission
airy effort, and to Africa attention was again
chiefly directed during the time of his secre-
tariat. Formerly it was the West Coast where
the work was carried on. Now the discover
les of Livingstone and Stanley and the in
creased activity of our cruisers had turned
mems thoughts to the East Coast.

Neckwear.


Light coverings Tor the throat, to take the
place of the fur collar, are almost exclusively
confined to the large Chinese silk handker-
chiefs made in the new indescribable colors
SO difficult to classify; pale greens, for exam
pie, that are nearly yellow, reds closely Dor
dering on terracoJta, or deep orange crushed
raspberry, looking very much like mashed
lobster, and so on. These kerchiefs envelop
the throat very softly, take up little room
below the neckband, and if selected advised
ly, many of these nondescript tints prove
eminently becoming, but, without discretion
in selecting, the wearer's complexion may
prove nothing less than CHASTITY. Brocaded
satin kerchiefs in two or more colors are
sometimes preferred to those in monochrome
and there are also fancy plaided and check
cred neckerchiefs to match the costume
which many choose. Paisley patterns and
Oriental designs also figure conspicuously
around fair threats. If preferred, the hand
kerchief is laid over the jacket and loosely
knotted in front, la marine. With the
widebrimmed sailor hat tor very young girls
this is a sympathetic mode Of arrangement.

a hardship which is believed to render that

How to Counteract sleeplessness.

Laws OF LILO.
A sense of drowsiness is sometimes easily
induced by getting up and standing by the
bedside until one feels almost chilly, and the
bed is cold Another expeoient is to wash
the head, neck and upper part of the body in
cold water-a lower temperature of the skin
inducing probably a more active circulation
of the blood to the surface and away from
the nervous centers. l have found bit of
dry bread thoroughly masticated and eaten
at this time to act almost like charm in
some cases by drawing blood from brain to
stomach, and thus securing sleep. Anything
which serves to detract attention from ones
self and surroundings may occasionally
avail-such as saying the alphabet, counting
ones respirations repeating the multiplica-
ton table, and multitude of similar ex-
pedients. An ancient monkish receipt for
wakefulness was to count your beads" It
is good advice yet. There are no better aids
to repose than a good conscience and mind
at peace,

spoke in such feeling manner that her
words affected her hearers. Everything my
husband has said is true" she remarked
IF you only knew the trouble and distress
that were in our home, all through the beer
pitcher, you would not wonder at our happi-
ness here tonight My husband and myself
