The Puritan sunday Gloomy Accumulation.

Boston Herald Report of Rev. !. X. Applebee's
Sermon at the Parker Memorial Church
After tracing thesvarious methods of the
observance of Sunday down through the cen
turtles, he at length arrived ut that gloomy
abominaiion." the Puritan Sabbath, which
he declared to be totally unlike the Sabbath
of Jew. Jesus or early Christian, and unwar-
ranted by scripture or reason. Yet, never
theless, IL is the influence OF this same inSti-
tuition which throws its black shadow over
our liberty to-day. Men are restrained from
doing many things which they know TO be
both right ana innocent, because an arbitrary
and senseleSs unwritten law of society has
decreed that they must not be done. He
then spoke OF the criticism which had been
passed upon his society because it had en-
ioyed Sunday picnic. defending the excur-
sion on the ground that the society did what
il believed to be right, and that its critics did
not constitute an infallible tribunal to sit in
judgment upon it. ''There is a hopeless
schism," said he, between Sabbatarianism
and nature. No particular day in the calen-
dar is more sacred than its fellows. 1t is
what is done upon it, whether good or evil,
which determines whether it is rightly OBJ
served. Mr., Applebee spoke of the religion
which is instilled into mankind by the voices
of the Winds birds the streams as they run
singing to the seas, by the beauty
of flower, field calm lake or mighty
mountain, and declared that there
is no measuring the spiritual
benefit which comes from close communion
with nature. The people who oppose the ex-
eursion which gives to thousands OF tOilers the
only opportunity of the week to breathe the
pure air of Heaven and enjoy natures fresh
ness and beauty. who oppose Sunday travel,
who array themselves against the opening of
libraries and museums, are simply trying 20
enforce one kind of religious ideas upon their
fellow-men The speaker pointed out the
fact, that the existing laws relating TO Sun
day observance had become practically a
dead letter, and upon the question of the le-
gality of businC s contracts made on Sunday
asserted that meddling enactments had in
volved the Courts in maze of legal and
moral absurdities He would sweep away all
laws based upon religious grounds, and sus-
! tain all founded upon natural and sanitary
necessities. He advocated an enactment
which should make six DAYS Of eight hours
each the legal limit of labor, thus insuring
| the drivers and conductors one day of rest
| In conclusion he said
Sunday is one of the greatest blessings
| which Christianity has given us. The insti-
| tuition is so firmly imbedded in our social
| life that it will take care of itself, and we
| may safely strip off all the bigotry and super
stition which rob il of its highest value. Let
| as make it day of worship, of rest. OF recre-
| alton, of music, of drama and of domestic
| Joy. Let it be day for the body's rest, the
| minds culture day for the growth of mind
| and heart and soul.

A Tonic in the True sense of the Word.

Not all medicinal preparations called tonics are
such. A mere stimulent of appetite, which gives

in no true sense a tonic. Hostetter's Stomach

The Currant Worm.
[Nlassachusetts Ploughman.l

Massachusetts, Ploughman-
AS soon as the currant bush expands its
leaves the currant worm begins its destruc-
tive work, and If left unmOlested will en-
tirely destroy the fruit, thus leaving the
young fruit exposed to the sun without any
thing TO nourish it. Fortunately this is an
enemy that is very easily destroyed when
taken in season, but If the first crop of worms
should be neglected it is much pcore difficult
to destroy the second crop, which will be
more numerous. This worm is covered with
a very sticky substance, 30 much so that any
fine, dry substancs will adhere 50 closely to
the skin that it Is very sure death to the
worm. Air Stacked lime ashes, plaster, or
even fine, dry loan sifted over
the bushes, will destroy every worm
it covers, but as there will be a
portion of the worms on the under-side OF
the leaves, there will always be enough
escape to lay eggs for another crop, requiring
the work to be done over again. 1t is very
important to destroy all of the first crop. To
do this il needs something that does not re-
quire 70 be busted on every worm. Fortu-

In speaking of minor ailments con
nected with digestion, DR.. Lander Brun-
ton said recently that headaches were
usually dependent either upon the pres
ence of decayed teeth or Of some irregu-
iarity in the eyes, more especially in the
difference of focal lengths between the
two. AS persons who were subject to
headaches in their youth grew older,
bilious headache was very apt to be re-
placed by giddiness, and this change
came when people needed spectacles.
The "micro ,photoscope," devised by
a schoolmaster of the Isle of Man. is a
pair of spectaces in the rim of which are
several micro photographs, each provi-
ded with a little magnifying lens. The
instrument is worn as an ordinary pair of
spectacles, and the wearer may at any
time see the pictures by slightly turning
his eyes. A public speaker may thus
have IN view photographs of his notes !;
a traveller maps or tables of information !;
a detective, list of criminals sought !;
and so on.

AT THE LINTELS OF THE CHAM
Der.

Oak, that standest gray and somber.
From December to December,
AT the lintels of the chamber,
Like a sentinel on guard;
What is it you mutter, mutter,
Peering through the faded shutter,
While your shadows, as they flutter,
Spot the panels like pardl
Why come they no more to sumber
In this old deserted chamber,
Little ones, whose names | number,
Weary watching, night and day;
With my shadow fingers cropping
For their FORMS which once came trooping
Upt the stairs, beneath the coping
OF the pearly milky wayl
When the cleaning on the valley
Fell from heights supreme and Silly,
Like the petals of lily,
Clustering round their mothers knee,
They would gather, hushed and awesome,
While the vast, upheaving bosom
or the blue, with stars a blossom,
Quivered to a lullaby.
Winds, far rowing, never weary,
Birds that in my bowers marry,
Can not tell me where they larry,
Whether in the ferny glen,
Rusty pool, or berry cover,
Violet flags along the river
Or the pebbled fell, but never
Do they come to me again.
See among my branches knitted,
Empty nests, the birds have fitted
Pledged and grown; left, unregretted,
Leafy covert, grading bough;
And the little ones ponder,
Growing sadder, growing fonder
Have they gone like birds to wander.
Pledged and grown and fitted now.
