A Monument without an Inscription.

. The monument to be erected in Chi
cago cemetery by the Hon. John Went
worth, better known as 'Long John"
Wentworth, has been finished by the
Hallowell Granite Company, and all. the
stones shipped with the exception of the
main shaft, which now lies in the yard
near the railroad station. The material
is entirely of white Hallowell granite,
and the monument is plain in design.
The base is eighteen feet square and two
feet thick, and Superintendent Hunt, OF
the granite works says it is the largest
stone ever shipped in one piece. 1t could
not be transported by rail, but it was
necessary to ship it by vessel to New
York and thence by barge through the
canal to Chicago. The second base is
eleven feet FIVE inches square by one foot
six inches in thickness. The shaft is
four feet six inches square at the base,
ffty-five feet high and pyramidal in
shape. Its weight is seventy tens, and
two special cars are being constructed at
the Portland car works to carry it, being
the largest stone ever shipped by rail in
this country. 1t will cost $4,000
In speaking of his a;estic monument
recently, the old gentleman was asked
what inscription he intended to have
upon it.
"No inscription at ALL" he answered.
"It's going to be just like me, plain,
unsophisticated monument. Then q
man'il come along and say: Who's
monument is thatp Then the man will
saw: sWentworth's.' Who's Went
worth9 Then he'll 60 and buy biogra-
phy and find out. If my name is on it
he'll simply say; 'Oh, Wentworth, and
walk off and forget all about it."-New

Iiuuor's Work in Africa

Labouchere writes to the New York World
that among the transactions Of the recent
church congress at Manchester which has not
received as much attention as it deserved
was paper by the Rev. Grant Mills on the
liquor traffic among African natives Among
other interesting facts contained in this paper
it appears that the total exports Of spirits to
Africa by the leading exponents Of civiliza-
tion during 1887 amounted to G62S, ,O56 gal
Ions. This quantity was divided among the
different nations in the following proportions:
Germany, 5,4s1, 400 gallons the United
States, IA, ,030 gallons; Great Britain, ,39S, $50
gallons, and Portugal, 646 gallons. Germany,
therefore. stands tacils princeps in the work
of exterminating the negro-and princeps ia
quality as well as quantity, l should say
for all the German liquor is exported from
Hamburg and Bremen, and we all know
what that implies. The gin and rum are said
to be occasionally used by printers for tur-
pentine. 1t is recorded that gorilla, which
had been procured at the Gaboon River,
died on the way, and in order to preserve the
body properly that it was placed in a cask of
trade rum, but that when tine cask was
opened at Liverpool it was found that the
hair and skin OF the gorilla had been burned
as if by yitriol and that the body was in q
terrible state of putrefaction-

Spiders Webs Poor Thermometers.

Spiders WeDs fOOr IheTHohe'erS'
"The spiders webs that one meets
these mornings in the fields and mead
ows are not so indicative of the kind OF
weather that we shall have through the
day as some suppose" said merchant
the other day. LIT is not exactly true
that these spider webs are more abundant
on some mornings than on others, and
that they presage fair weather. AS .
matter of fact during the latter half Of
the summer, these webs are about as
abundant one day as another, but they
are much more noticeable on some morn
inps than others, by reason of heavy
dew which makes them more conspicu-
Gus. They are especially noticeable on
foggy morning.
HThese webs are little nets that catch
the fog, and on every little silken thread
ls strung innumerable minute drops like
glass beads. After an hour of sunshine
the webs are apparently gone. But they
are still there, stretched above the grass,
at noon and at sunset, US abundant as
they were at sunrise, and are then more
serviceable to the spiders because they
are invisible. The flies and ether insects
would avoid them in the morning.
"Farmers consult these little webs as
regularly as they would Thermometer,
if they had one, and in many houses they
often take the place of that instrument:
A heavy dew occurs under o clear, cool
sky, and the night PRECEDING day OF
rain is usually dewless night. That
dew then means fair weather. and CO.
pious dew discloses the spiders webs:
it is the dew that is significant, and not
the webs" ."-Neao York Mail and Express.

The Word Of God.

Nothing must be taken from the Word OF
God, nothing added to it. There is scarcely
a greater crime than false preaching and
teaching. Let the leaders Of Gods host
plainly point out the path. The need Of our
age is not speculation, but declaration of
things revealed by those who have been on
the mount with God, have beheld His glory,
and have received message for dying men.
The people would know what God has said,
not what men imagine or guess. How about
our Father in Heaven2 What are His pur-
poses of grace2 What are the conditions Of
blessings These are the burning questions of
our age, and of all ages.-lDr. J. E. Twitchell,
