Science and the Bible.

No book better deserves fair treat
ment from all classes of men than the
Bible; yet no book is treated so unfairly
by men who make peculiar claims to
fairness, as is the Bible. 1t is rare
thing for man who denies the truth
and value of the Bible to be familiar
with the text of the Bible. Illustra-
tions of the readiness of scientific men
to treat the Bible mechanically
abound on every side. For example, a
prominent American scientist, who
prides himself on his accuracy in the
facts of all his Investigations, was re-
Gently INDUCING in sheer at the claims
of the Bible to historic verify in its mar
ratives. II said, in substance: " Your
Bible says that Meneptah, the Pharaoh
of the exodus, was drowned in the Red
Sea, but now they have found his num-
mied body with the other kings of
his dynasty" "No," responded the
Christian scholar to whom this remark
was made. {" You are mistaken at two
points. The Bible doesn't say that
Pharaoh was drowned in the Red Sea /;
and the mummied body of Meneptah
hasn't been found with the others of
his dynasty" So far the scientist was
silenced, but his opinion of the Bible
was in no degree affected; for he had
reached his opinion of that book
through his prejudices, and not through
his Investigations; therefore the facts
in the case were not an important fac
tor either way.-Sunday-School Times.

" In a Hollow Place."

A mother in New York was quietly
engaged in her domestic work when
the dreadful news came: "Come to the
police station. Your child has been run
over by an express wagon" She hast
ened to the station-house and found her
child surrounded by strangers. The
surgeon had not yet arrived. She was
told that the wheels had passed over
his foot, but on examination she found
no real injury. She said to the little
darling: "Why, Willie, how could the
wagon have passed over your foot and
not have crushed it?" The child looked
up in his mothers face and said
Mamma, guess God put it in hol-
low place. "-ETchonge.

The Prayer Closet.

After / became interested in religion,
says Rev. Asa Billiard in its autobiog-
raphy, in seeking place for retirement
for my secret devotions, thought of
large closet out of the spare chamber.
That closet was the place where my
mother kept her blankets, comforters
and various kinds of bed-clothes. II
was large and without window. When
the door was shut, it was total darkness;
no eye but that of him who seeth in
secret" could behold any one who
there sought retirement from the world.
In that closet / erected my altar for
secret prayer. 1t was my Bethel, and
none but God can ever know the Bethel
seasons l there enjoyed in communing
with the Savior in that time of my first
love, and until left my home to pre-
pare for the work of the gospel ministry.
In one of my visits to my dear old home
years after had left it, as | was 81 com
pany," l occupied at night the spare
chamber. In the morning | had de-
sire to visit the dark closet and see
how it would seem to shut the door and
pray to my Father which is in secret as
l was wont to do in my young days. 1
opened the door and what scene
greeted my eyes There in the center
of the closet stood chair and before
that chair stood a cushion in which
there were deep prints, where some
one evidently was accustomed to kneel
in secret worship. And who could it
be? Who but my own blessed mother,
who had prayed all her ten children
into the kingdom? What a hallowed
spot did it seem to me! A thrill of sa-
cred awe came over me, and voice al
most seemed to say, as it did to Moses
at the burning bush, " Put off thy shoes
from thy feet, for the place wherein
thou standest is holy ground"

SwOrdllsh Hunters.

The sloop yacht "Nirvana," of the
Atlantic Yacht Club, is in the harbor,
having arrived from ten days. cruise
eastward She is said to be one of the
three sailing yachts in the country that
is equipped with swordfish gear. AT
the end of the bowsprit is rugged a sort
of iron cage, which is called "the
pulpit" In this cage-like structure
the fisherman stands with long spear
and watches for the big swordfsh. The
yacht may sail for days without seeing
fish, and all this time the sportsman
stands in the pulpit ready to strike
should the fish appear 1t is custom
airy to station two men at the masthead
on the spreaders to watch for the big
fish. just as men are placed aloft on
whaling ship to watch for whales.
Frequently in rough water the bow
spirit will dip under, and the sportsman
take an involuntary bath in the blue
sea. The spear is placed upon the end
of twenty-foot shaft and attached is
three hundred feet of line. When the
yacht is sailed near the big fish, the
spearman darts the javelin into the
fish Gf he is fortunate in aiming) with
all his strength. In an instant the
swordfsh darts away, and the fisher
men are reminded of whale chase on
a small scale. The line runs out of the
tub with great swiftness, and if any
thing becomes entangled in the big
string it gets badly twisted. The power
eXerted upon the line by the fish is suf-
ficient to take off leg or an arm.
When the fish has taken all the line
which tautens up, the wooden shaft is
wrested from the spear, which remains
imbedded in the swordfsh's body.
Then toggle about three inches in
length on the end of the spear opens
and the spear is securely fastened in
the great body of the fish. When the
spear strikes the body this toggle is
closed, but the pulling of the spear
through tightening of the line opens
the toggle just like opening knife
blade and the spear is firmly fastened
to the fish. Then a small boat is
lowered and the interesting business of
catching the fish begins. There were
three swordfish struck from the " Mir
vana," but only two were secured. A
catch of one fish day is considered
good luck for boat. One of the
swordfish secured was fifteen feet in
length and weighed three hundred
pounds. Its sword was nearly three
feet in length and tapered from three
inches to One-half inch in breadth.
The fishes eyes are frequently from
twelve to fifteen inches in circumfer-
ence.-NeD Horen Register.

MluraI ano Religious.
The Right Place.

There are a great many places, but
not all places are suitable for professors
of religion. Each place has its own
belongings, its own proprieties. If we
profess to be on the Lords side, we
should always try to be in the right
place, and there only. Our place is to
be in the sanctuary whenever our
brethren and sisters assemble there,
either for prayer-meeting, class-meet-
ing, Sunday school, or to listen to the
preaching of Gods Word. The secret
closet is the right place or, wherever
our place is, it is the place of places
for us. There are places where our
feet ought to be, and there are places
where our feet ought never to be. So
with our hands, and our eyes, and our
hearts. So, also, with the money the
Lord entrusts to us; the place for some
of it is in his treasury; some of it,
again, belongs in the hands of needy
ones about us, but thousands are spent
in the wrong place. Recently, on a
legal holiday, in one of our neighbour
ing towns, certain hotel took in 81 900
in that single day. Now, those people
were certainly not putting their money
in the right place. Undoubtedly,
many of them had needy families at
home, perhaps children crying after
bread. What an easy matter it is for
persons sometimes to squander large
sums of money foolishly. But what
begging it requires to get even an or
binary amount to erect churches, to
carry on the missionary work, or to
make up the preachers salary. The
expression is frequently heard, "There
is nothing but begging nowadays in
the church" o, have been thinking
if people would only learn to put what
they owe to the Lord in the right place,
there would be no need of begging; all
you would have to do would be to tell
the people of the wants and needs, and
there would be a continual flow into
the Lopd's treasury; like the Israelites
of old in the building of the tabernacle,
the Lord would have to command them
cease giving. Better be without hands
or feet or eyes or possessions, than to
have all these and permit them to be
in the wrong place. Dear reader, are
you always found in the right place?
Are all your possessions used in the
right place? God knows, and you
ought to know.-Euening Messenger.

"Nasal Voices, Catarrh and
False Teeth"

A prominent English woman says
the American women all have high,
shrill, nasal voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant
twitting they get about this nasal twang,
and yet it is fact caused by our dry
stimulating atmosphere, and the uni
versal presence of catarrhal difficulties.
But why should so many of our
women have false teeth?
That is more of poser to the Eng
fish. 1t is quite impossible to account
for it except on the theory of deranged
stomach action caused by imprudence
in eating and by want of regular exer-
else.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere pre-
vail and end in cough and consump-
ton, which are promoted by mal-nutri-
ton induced by deranged stomach ac-
ton. The condition is modern one,
unknown to our ancestors who pre-
vented the catarrh, cold, cough and
consumption by abundant and regular
use of what is known as Warmers Log
Cabin cough and consumption remedy
and Log Cabin sarsaparilla, two old-fash-
toned standard remedies handed down
from our ancestors, and now exclusively
put forth under the strongest guarantees
of purity and efficiency by the world
famed makers of Warmers safe cure.
These two remedies plentifully used as
the fall and winter seasons advance
together with an occasional use of
Warmers Log Cabin rose cream, to
strengthen and protect the nasal mem
branes, give positive assurance of
freedom, both from catarrh and those
dreadful, and if neglected, newt
able consequences-pne lung
troubles and consumption, which so
generally and fatally prevail among our
people.
Comrade Eli Fisher of Salem, Henry
County, Iowa, served four years in the
late war and contracted disease called
consumption by the doctors. He had
frequent hemorrhages. After using
Warmers Log Cabin cough and con-
sumption remedy, he says, under date
of January 10, 1885, ~ do not bleed
at the lungs any more, my cough does
not bother me, and do not have any
more smothering spells" Warmers
Log Cabin rose cream cured his wife of
catarrh and she is " sound and we'll"
OF course we do not like to have our
women called nose-talkers and false
teeth owners, but these conditions can
be readily overcome in the manner in
dicated

Keep Your Lights Burning.

A friend was visiting lighthouse,
and said to the keeper: Are you not
afraid to live here? 1t is dreadful
place to be constantly in" No, l am
not afraid. We never think of our
selves here" Never think of your
selves! How is that?" "We know
that we are perfectly safe, and only
think of having our lights burning
brightly and keeping the reflection clear,
that those in danger may be saved"
Christians are safe in house built on
a rock which cannot be moved in the
storm; and in a spirit of holy unselfish-
ness, they should let their light CLEAN
across the dark waves of sin, that i'm
periled ones may be guided into the
harbor of heaven Exchange.

Plucky Drummer Boy.

General Horace Porter, in an article
on Boys in the Late War;" published
in the Youths Companion, relates the
following story about a plucky drum.
mer boy: When General Sherman's
corps was advancing upon Jackson,
Miss, in the campaign in the rear of
Vicksburg, and his troops were engaged
in sharp fight with the enemy, the
general heard shrill voice calling out
to him that one of the regiments was
out of ammunition; and the men could
not hold their position unless a supply
of cartridges was sent to them at once.
He looked around and saw that the
messenger was little drummer boy
who was limping along the road with
the blood running from a wound in his
leg. "All right" said the general,
"I'll send the ammunition; but you
seem to be badly hurt, you must go
and find a surgeon and get your wound
attended to-" The boy started for the
rear, and the general was about giving
the order for ammunition, when he
heard the same piping voice crying to
him: General, calibre SO! calibre IS!
Be sure and send them calibre IS!
Looking round, he saw that the little
fellow had turned back, and was run
ming after him as fast as the wound in
his leg would let him, to describe the
kind of ammunition required, which he
had forgotten to mention before. The
various regiments were armed with
different sizes of guns. In this one the
diameter of the gun barrels was fifty
eight of an inch, and the
ammunition required to fit them was
known as calibre So. The general
found the boy was more thoughtful
than himself, for he had not stopped to
inquire of the lad the kind of ammuni-
ton needed. He asked the boy his
name, complimented him on his cool
ness and pluck, and promised to re-
member his services. The ammunition
reached the men, the boys wound soon
healed up, and after the war the gen.
eral, who has never forgotten the in
cident, interested himself in the lads
behalf, and procured for him an ap-
pointment to the naval academy at An
napolis. Not long ago General Sher-
man was repeating the story, and the
circumstances seemed to be as fresh in
his memory as on the day on which the
service was performed"
