The Outcasts Of London.

In these days when we hear so much
Of the poverty, crime, and wretched-
ness of outcast London, it is refreshing
to have the diverse Of the medal oc-
casionally held up before our eyes.
The Rev. George w. McCree, a we'll
known pastor and philanthroplst OF
Southwark, sends to the Daily News
very encouraging account of the prog
ress that is being made in removing
the cause Of "the bitter cry" that still
goes uD from the abodes of poverty and
misery. Mr.. McCree is covinced that
the poor of London are far less poor,
less ignorant, less wretched, and less
vicious than they were twenty-five
wears ago. In the matter of sports the
people are less cruel brutal and deprav-
ed than they were. They are cleaner
in their habits, and consequently more
healthy. There is less disease and a
wider acquaintance with sanitary laws.
Not only can nearly all the poor read,
but they do read, and with much that
is evil there is far more that is health
ful in their literary tastes. The conse-
quence is that they are far more quick
and intelligent. and aspire more than
tIltN Nlu w lVllilSl SWIM
ment There is every reason to nope
that this philanthropy of the da!y IS
turning the electric lights of sanitary
science and Christian sympathy upon
the darkest corners and slums OF the
great city, and revealing depths OF
misery whose existence was unknown
and unsusrected. But the light does
not create the misery, though it may
help to disperse it. The knowledge that
the evil is being gradually overcome
will not discourage philanthroplc
effort, but rather stimulate it by adding
the impetus of quickened hope. And
if the progress has been encouraging in
the past, it should be much more rapid,
in the future, for never before wer so
many powerful agencies at work for
the regeneration of the Elapsed mass

Ten Good Things to Know.

l. That milk which is turned or
changed may be sweetened and rem
dered fit for use again by stirring in a
little soda.
9. That salt will curdle new milk !;
hence, in preparing milk porridge,
gravies, etc, the salt should not be
added until the dish is prepared.
8. That fresh meat, after beginning
to sour, will sweeten if placed out of
doors in the cool of night.
1. That clear boiling water will re-
move tea stains and many fruit stains.
Pour the water through the stain, and
thus prevent it's spreading over the
fabric.
5. That ripe tomatoes will remove
ink and other stains from white cloth !;
also from the hands.
6. That q tablespoonful of turpen-
tine boiled with white clothes will aid
in the whitening process.
7. That boiled starch is much inn
proved by the addition of a little
sperm salt, or gum arabic dissolved.
8. That beesWaX and salt will make
rusty fat-irons as clean and smooth as
glass. Tie lump of wax in rag and
keep it for that purpose. When the
irons are hot, rub them first with the
wax-rag, then scour with paper or
cloth sprinkled with salt.
0. That blue ointment and kerosene
mixed in equal proportions and ap-
piled to the bedsteads is all unfailing
bedbug remedy, as a coat Of white
wash is for the walls of log house.
10. That kerosene will soften boots
and shoes that have been hardened by
water, and render them as pliable as
new.

Types OF GIadness.

There are, indeed, types Of gladiiess
that cannot be reproduced after first
heavy sorrow. We can never again
look upon the world with the same
eyes. There are void places in our
earthly loves that muse remain void
while we stay here. But there is a
profounder love for those who stay
with us, gentleness, tenderness,
sweetness Of affection, unknown be-
fore. Our love gains by loss, grows by
amputation. Above all, there is a
more vivid sense of heavenly reali-
ties, Il consciousness of unbroken union
with those that seem divided from us,
an intimacy with higher fellowships
opened for us by those who have gone
from us, more clinging sense of de-
pendence on the Infinite Love, and
hence JOY purer and loftier, though
its pristine buoyancy be forever lost.
Especially as life wanes, and the shad.
ows lengthen, may the treasures laid
up in heaven give us a familiar, home
like feeling, as to the mansion where
they shall he ours again. and the very
hopes whose failure east cloud over
earlier years may thus shed over our
declining days genial light, that shall
grow brighter and brighter till it is
merged in the pure radiance of heaven.

Lost that Is Gain.

Lost time may he time gained.
Profitableness may be secured from
the results of wasted hours. Time
thrifty workers, who find themselves
to have been on FOOLS errand, are
very apt to grieve over the waste, as
they consider it, Of so many precious
hours. The scholar who follows out
q difficult clew to the end only to find
it unproductive the business man
who throws all his thought and
strength into new venture, and finds
it unremunerative; the pastor who
has painfully elaborated line Of
thought which he in the end discovers
to he spccious or uuprofitable; the vis-
itor who Journeys far and, after thor
ough search, fails to come across the
person he is anxious to see,-is likely
to lose heart, and is inclined to chide
himself for such profitless waste Of
time. Yet, if the disappointed seeker
will look out for the !guInS to himself
of his FOOLS errand, he will find that
that experience which cannot be made
to pay its cost is rare one. If he
would be wise, he will take into ac-
count all these incidental insights by
the way, which in the future, by ger
nlinating new ideas, and by suggestions
that arise from them, NAV more than
counterbalance the direct loss Of the
present. His activity, though profit
less as to immediate results, may have
proved good drill in methods. Prac-
tice and skill in the use of method are
often of more consequence to us than
success itself. Moreover, he will have
in mind that if his errand becomes a
painfully impressed warning to him, it
may save him many similar expert
ences i'm the future, and thus bring
real, actual gain to him. Disappoint-
ment or failure is, in various ways, one
of our most useful soul educators.
Penitence, patience. resignation, hui
mility, and many others things, come
not except through much tribulation.
So, in reckoning up the profit and loss
of Il so-called fools errand, let us not
fail to remember that the gains of
wisely improved failure may be among
our most profitable possessions.

Cont radictOry as these words are
when lightly viewed, the very nearly
describe the NNiMtWS OF all essay III
the Janury number Of the ViMe-
IeeU/A century. 1t is by Lord Chas.
Bereslord, Member of Parliament and
CAPTAIN in the Royal Navy, Oh the
subject of "The British Fleet and Eu-
rope"
After discussing, through ten pages,
the present strength OF the naval outht
of Great Britain, in view Of possible
war with other European powers, lie
concludes with this language:
"All that | have ever written or
spoken on this point has been i'll the
interest, and in the hope, of preserv-
ing peace for our Empire; for L be-
licve that, if we became engaged III a
war in which we. were fighting Tor our
existence, even if we wore victorious,
the interests of the whole world, as re-
presented by civilization, justice, lib
erty, humanity, and commerce, would
suffer. | cannot give my own opinion
about war In better words than those
OF Brougham, in which he says: L
abominale war as unchristian; l hold
it the greatest of human crimes: l
deem it to include all others-viOlence,
blood, rapine, fraud, everything which
cam deform the character, alter the ma
ture, and debase the name OF man.
But while holding an opinion about
was as strong us is thus expressed, l
can find no Woa0S strong enough to
convey what | believe would he the
Judgment Of the peoples of the whole
of our magnificent Empire, if we lost
our great heritage, as we undoubtedly
should, were we caught unprepared
through want of sufficient navy"
Thus we sec that 1.-The greatest OF
human crimes, including all Others" is
contemplated, without hesitation, as
suitable and necessary for Il nation pro-
Tossing to be Christian, whose mon
arch is the head of an establishment
claiming to be, by Apostolic decent, Il
church Of Christ. Could anything be
much more of the nature of an apos-
tasy from the true principles OF such a
church? 1t may he yet long before
even the churches, and much more the
nations OF the world come to see how
true were those words spoken or writ
ten by Daniel Webster, nearly half Il
century ago, in regard not only to per-
sonal but to political action: ".1oM-

The SanetiGeatiOn Of TIE 7IOme--its
Salvation

By PRESIDENT W. A. GAMBLER, d. d.
The report of Hon. Carroll d.
Wright to Congress on the statistics OF
marriage and divorce in the United
States is a sadly instructive document
1t appears that during the last TWEEN
ty years there have been granted IL
the United States 32S,7l6 divorces;
| During the first year of this period
there were 9,937 granted; during the
last year 2j,525-an appalling increase
The report discloses facts which re,
veal the causes of this growing evil
very clearly. .
|. 1t appears that in but five States
and the District of Columbia can the
number of marriages be obtained with
ANYTHING like completeness. Mar
riage is evidently too lightly regarded
10y all Glasses of our people.
-. SiXty-tive per cent. OF the wholc
number of divorces granted were
granted to women, and of these cruel
", descrtion and intempcrance were
the alleged causes of fully ninety per
cent. 1t would he interesting and m
Structive to know to what extent the
factor of intemperance enters into
those cases for which desertl0n ana
cruelty are the alleged causes. Ihe
saloon is the chief enemy of the home
and the home is the support and de-
Tense Of the State. And hercl II Is
found another illustration of the truth
that the State must destroy the saloon
or bc destroyed by it.
3. 1t does not appear on the face OF
these wrctchcd returns how much VI
ciouS publications have contributed 10
bring to pass the horrible results; but
that they have done much, few intelll,
gent persons familiar with the social
conditions of our country will deny.
The daily press reports domestic IN
frliciticS with crmc-infrctin% familiar
ty and sporlivrllcSs. Proceedings III
suits for divorce are published with II
diabolic;,l 5iocoscncss that seems utterly
indifferent To the domestic tragedies
recorded. All such prints arc most VI
cious in character and vitiating IN m
fluence. They deserve and should re-
ceive the rcprobation OF all good peo-
pie. .,
The radical correction of all this evil
is higher appreciation Of the sanctlty
of the home and the marriage relation
Oh which true homes rest.
When our people fully appreciate the
sanctity of their homes they will be
adequately impressed with the iniqul-
ty of the saloon. If our conntry is to
be a country of happy homes it can
not be land of open bar rooms.
Again no man who rightly concclves
the Sanctity Of his home, or his own
responsibility as its head will allow a
feprous newspaper TO enter his house,
nor will he read such sheet.
We repeat it, the sacredness OF the
home needs to bc.emphasized: This
will arrest the growing evil of divorce.
Hereby the pestilential sources of a.
vorces will be dried up. The sanctlfi-
cation of the home will prevent the
desecration which works the disgrace
and destruction of the family.
