The KoIn MT

The commercial importance of the
kola nut has, for some time, been stead
lily growing. It IS a valuable dietetic and
therapeutic agent, and is allied in com
position to cocoa, coffee and tea, but
contains a relatively large amount of
caffeine. The properties ordinarily as
signed to kola are those Of q strong tonic
and stimulant to the nervous system,
counteracting and removing the sense of
exhaustation after fasting and fatigue; 1t
has also been credited with having an
antagonistic action to alcohol, and is fire.
quently used in the countries where it is
grown for that purpose; it is also said to
purify water. It has a peculiar stimu-
liant action on the nervous system, temp
orarily strengthens the heart beat and in
creases the arterial tension. In times of
exertion and fasting it wards off the
sense of mental and physical depression
and exhaustion. As . water purifier,
there is reason to believe that its action
is purely mechanical. In a report which
has been recently made on this nut, it is
recommended to be used as an infusion
in the treatment Of diarrh@a, where its
astringent action is beneficial.

CLEANSING ouoLorH.

oilcloth ought never to be scrubbed
with brush, but after being swept may
be cleaned by washing with a soft flannel
and lukewarm water or cold tea. On no
account use soap or water that is hot. as

A pretty garnish for a fish salad is
made by arranging six sardines (the
bones carefully Temoved), on the top,
with heads meeting in the centre, a
fringe Of lettuea or parsley leaves in a
border, and lemon points at intervals.
The Iounc red radishes car be prepared
IN such way as 70 be very ornamental.
Cut Of the root close, and with a sharp
knife pare the radish toward the top; the
knife can only take up narrow portion
at time; repeat this until all the red
part is cut, and the result will be that the
cut portion viii look like petals, and the
adish viii closely resemble flower.
Let them stand in water until they are
crisp, and serve them in a blue bowl with
cracked ice. Olives also taste better if
served on bed of cracked ice.-Nelo

Riches in an Old sloop.OtWar.

The purchaser of the old sloop-of-vsr
Antietam, lying at the League Island
Navy Yard, has discovered that he has
a much richer prize than he at first sus-
pected, although rival bidders from all
parts of the United States forced hin TO
pay the Government S37, 600 at a public
sale before he could get possession of the
hulk.
The Antietam was built on the day.
work system common in the Navy De-
partment years ago at the old navg-yard
piers, now the property of the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad Company, and when the yard
was abandoned the Antietam wa5 towed
to the back channel at League Island,
where she had been rotting for fourteen
years with her lower hold full of water.
No one really knew what there was in
her, although the records of the Navy
Department gave a slight clue Of what
had been slowed in her hold since her
arrival at the island.
When the order came for the abandon
ment of the old yard, fourteen years
ago, many huge anchors weighing many
tons, ingots of brass, tin and other
metals, and fathoms Of chains, which
cost the Government thousands of dollars;
were hurriedly gathered up and thrown
into the hold of the Antietam. where
they have lain undisturbsd until taken
out by the recent purchaser.
Although it is not accurately known
how much metal has been taken out of
her hulk, the navy yard officials say
that for three weeks wagon after wagon
has been carrying away loads of material
from her, which have been sold in this
city at high prices, realizing not less than
$4,000. It is proposed to cut a ditch
to the back channel, and an attempt will
be made to tow the vessel out into deep
water, and tc GCsw- Bay hEeas Island

The sacrifice of our Lord was, in the high
est sense, substitutionary. The penalty of
sin IS death; and Jesus died. All through
the old law there is no atonement except BY
the death of victim. Indee this is what
God hath said from the beginning, even in
the garden. Still Is this the sentence of the
law, THE soul that sinneth it shall die.
Sin necessitates death. The Lord Jesus
Christ did not come to earth TO make a re-
cancellation by the holiness of his life. or by
the earnestues; of his teaching, but by his
death The text saith, BY his own blood
he entered i'm He must die in the room.

great truth Of the yicarious sacrifice. which

Take this away, and do not see anything

Christ is atonement by his death.-C z.

There are certain experiences common TO
all saints. One Of these is the temptation
that comes because prayer for right things
does not Immediately inherit the promise -
There are seasons when the reason for delay
seems TO US very plain; there are other times
when we are constrained to say: 20 Lord
hast Thou forgotten to be graciOus? But
in all prayer we are to remember that We
are suppliants only through grace; that to
approich God and ask of Him is in any sense
a great privilege. A just view of prayer,
that act by which we fall in helpfulness be-
fore God, will prove TO US that we are not at
liberty to make any demands upon Him.
Just as Thou wilt, 0 Lord is the proper
attitude of the suppliant bending low at His
feet Z tire submission 10 His way Is a
mark OF prevailing faith. And such faith
is not so much concerned whether God choose
TO delay or not
Andrew Murray has said; "When once
faith has taken its stand upon Gods word,
and the name of Jesus, and has yielded itself
to the leading-ef~tb the SPIRIT TO seek Coils
Will and honor alone in its pl1Fer, il need
not bsdiscouraged by delay. 10 SHOWS from

there must be often heaping up of prayer
until God sees that the measure is full and
the answer com IS. 1t knows that Just as
soon as the plowman has to take his ten
thousand steps and sow his ten thousand
seeds, each one a part of the preparation
for the firal harvest there is a Needle
for oft-repeated, persevering prayer all
working Ont some desired blessing. o
Lord do ach me how real the labor of
prayer is 1 know how here on earth when
! have failed in an undertaking 1 can often
succeed by renewed and more continuous
effort by giving more Tina and thought.
Show me how, by giving myself more en-
tirely to prayer, to live in prayer, may OBJ
blessed Teacher, author and perfector of
faith let my whole life by Thy grace be one
of faith in Thee, in whom my prayer gains

A Desert DistiIIery.

A sun-distilling apparatus on the Alta
cana desert, in Bolivia, consists of 1873
square feet Of glass, under which a thin
layer Of salt water Is led, the vapor from
which eondenses as sweat on the under
side Of the glass, trickles slowly into
groove in the supporting frame. and
theEee runs into reservoir. Rather
more water distills by night than by day
owing 70 better condensation when the
outer air is cool The daily production
is from thirty to forty gallons of fresh
water, which sells at three cents per qaI-
lon. A similar apparatus in use on the
same desert twenty years ago contained
50,000 square feet of glass. The water
then sold for 81. so a gallon.
