We go away off, or back into history,
to get some illustration by which we
may set forth what Christ has done for
US. We need not go so far. l saw a
vehicle behind q runaway horse dashing
through the street, a mother and her two
children in the carriage. The horse
dashed along as though TO hurl them to
death, and a mounted policeman with a
shout clearing the way, and the horse at
full run, attempted to seize those run
away horses and TO save a calamity,
when his W horse fell and rolled over
him. He was picked up half dead.
Why were our sympathies so stirred?
Because he was badly hurt, and hurt
for others. But l tell you today of how
Christ, the Son of God, on the blood red
horse of sacrifice came for our rescue,
and rode down the sky and rode unto
death for our rescue. Are not your
hearts touched? That was a sacrifice
for you and me. o thou who didst ride
on the red horse of sacrifice! come this
hour, and ride through this assemblage
on the white horse of victory.

The German Boy Mt Leisure.

The manner in which we spent N
leisure lacked freedom and independ-
ence, but it abounded in regularity
and good Influences. The Germaa
gymnssiast does not appear 10 be as
spirited in his plays as he might; he
is often charged with too great seri.
business and dignity, and the criticism
is not unjust. / admit that he is, on
the whole, not as boyiike as we should
want him to be. But he is, on the
other hand. apt TO be exceedingly
childlike, in the good sense ofthe word;
he is, as a rule, reverential and sub
missive. simple and uncontaminated
by the ways of the world, with which
he has come little in contact. Ii spite
of the large amount of work he ae-
complishes, he is after all a pretty
hardy specimen of a boy. The one
hundred and eighth regiment, which
had enlisted the flower of the Saxon
youth from the University at Leipzig.
counting hundreds of students in its
lines, excelled by its vigorous marches
and valiant deeds in the war of 1870.
In the history of this war we read OF
regiments that marched for twenty
three successive hours only to fall in
line of battle at the end of such o
march; and the students covered them
selves with glory in this campaign.
! doubt, however. whether the Ger
man gymnasiast could do the work he
does. and preserve his good health. il
it were not for the judicious DISPOSE
ton of his leisure hours, during which
he is not unduly INDUCED. but care
fully guarded in all the details of life
Moreover, he is thus fitted TO with
stand the great mount of liberty that
is bestowed upon him when be is grad
uated and enters the university.
Among the thousands of university
students, there are very few who sue
cumb 10 university freedom. The
habits according to which the gymRas~
last was compelled to regulate his
free hours. the self-control, the sense
of duty and love for higher aims,
which he gained not only IN the class
room, but also during his leisure, pre-
vail in the end. and. as arule, he makes
a final success of lis university course,
and becomes a youthful citizen For
he who has learned TO obey in all
thi ngs is most likely to command in
all tbings.-Atantic.

Making Up for the Dentists Chair.

''It's a mystery to me- said a dentist
of large practice recently, 'that a
woman will make up her face to come
to a dentists chair. Yet many of
them do. Hardly a day passes that l

The Way 20 Send Flowers.

Who doesn't remember when it was
the received thing TO send your sweet
heart every evening an enormous
breastwork of flowers, where the roses
were stabbed into position by wires
and the whole effect of which was stiff
beyond expression. Mademoiselle had
her corsage bouquet and she would
have felt that the world was not quite
right without IL; that her beauty must
be fading and that her sweetheart
must be growing weary Of her. But
now! The young man gets down on
his kness and gives thanks because
these belongings are no longer de-
manded from him. IL he sends any
flowers at all they must come in a big
box, loose. loDg-stemmed and drip
ping with dew. They may be daisies
plucked from some country meadow.
they NAV be wild roses or they may be
the great. stiff. scentless ones that
have been cultured in greenhouses.

Seeing a story about old Stephen
Girard the other day reminds me of
an incident that shows one Of his pe-
culiarities. says a writer in the Globe
Democrat. Girard had a drayman who
was decidedly a poor man. One day
the drayman. who was an industrious,
bright fellow, with a good many
mouth TO fill at home, was heard to re-
mark that he wished he was rich
What's that:?" sharply said Girard,
who heard the grumble. ''Oh," said
the man, Il was only wishing i was
rich" well why don't you getrieh?"
said the millionaire harshly. Il don't
know how without money returned
the drayman. You don't need mon
ey," said Girard. Well. il you will
tell me how to get rich without money
/ won't let the grass grow befors
trying it," returned the other. There
is going to be aship-load of confiscated
tea sold at auction tomorrow at the
wharf; go down there and buy il in
and then come to me-" The man
laughed. ~ have no money 10 buy
ship-load of tea with" he said. You
don't need any money, | tell YOU"
snapped the old man Go down and
bid in the whole cargo and then come
to me-" The next day the drayman
went down to the sale. A large
crowd of retailers were present and
the auctioneer said that those bidding
would have the privilege of taking n
case or the whole shipload. aud that
the bidding would be ON the pound
He then began the sale. 4 retail
grocer started the bidding and tho
drayinan raised him. On seeing this
the crowd gazed with no small amount
of surprise. When the case was
knocked down to the drayman the auc-
toner said he supposed the buyer only
desired one case. ''I'll take the whole
shipload." coolly returned the ucces
full bidder. The auctioneer was as
tonished. but on some one whispering
to him that it was Girard's man who
was the speaker his manner changed,
and he said he supposed it was all
right. The news soon spread that
Girard was buying tea in large quanti-
ties, and the next day the price rose
several cents. go and sell your tea"
said Girard to the drayman the next
day. The drayman was shrewd, and
he went out and made contracts with
several brokers to take the stock ut n
shade below the market price. thereby
making quick sale. In 4 few hours
he was worth so, 900.

SOME FACTS ABOUT EGGS.
Matching Chickens by the Million In Egypt
for American ~Stomaehs.

The Egyptians are, however. far in
adeyance Of us in the science of raising
chickens. and the %incubating establish
ments of the country hatch out eggs by
the million every year. At a Matching
establishment near the Pyramids the
farmers trade fresh eggs for young
chicks aud the rate is two eggs per chicks
Another artificial egg hatchery turEs
500, 900 out little chickens every season
and the oven crop of chickens in Egypt
amounts. according to figures furnished
me by the Consul General, TO more
than twenty millions of chickens a
year.
We have about two hundred million
dollars worth of money in the fowl in
dustry in the United States, an amoun
so large that all the money of Jay
Gould could not equal ii, and still we
have TO import more than sixteen
million dozens of eggs every year. IL
America would adopt the Egyptian
Matching system we could sell eggs il
stead of buying them and u farmers
might buy little chickens to raise at a
price of 20 cents a dozen. More than
twenty millions of little chickens are
sold each year in this way in Egypt
and there is a regular business in
chickens just old enough to walk.
The incubatories are rude, one-story
| buildings. made of undried bricks. so
arranged that the eggs are laid upon
| cut straw in racks in rooms. around the
| ovens. which are kept fired on during
the Matching season. The outside
walls are very thick aud are built so
that they retain heat and the only
thermometer used Is the blood of the
boy or man who attends to the fires.
BY long practice these men learn just
how hot the ovens ought to be kept.
and they replenish the fires as the
weather demands. A small amount of
fuel is needed, and the temperature OF
the ovens is about that of SO degrees
above zero. The fire is built up for
eight or ten days before the eggs are
put in. to thoroughly warn the hut.

now returned from nearly two years
