Operator and TypeWrIter.

A person who knows nothing Of te-
legraphy cannot imagine what an ad-
vantage to an operator typewriter Is
It is a strange thing to me also that
the operators do not more generally
recognize it. An operator, even
though he may be rapid with his pen,
is generally three or four words be-
hind the sender, or even more, and
thus is compelled to carry the word
ing in his head. With q typewriter,
II he is even fairly expert, he can keep
up with the sender, and II he is very
fast be viii find himself waiting.
This is a great thing for an operator.
II he is carrying a message in his
head he is liable to lose it and have to
break in on the sender to repeat il
This gives him a bad reputation. Then
mistakes are less liable, as the ope-
rator is taking the dispatch word for
word, and is not liable TO write seven
teen instead of seventy or seventy in
stead of seventeen.-New York Tele-
gram

sThe Big Four"

/ have read in your valuable paper
about the "Big Four" and wondered
what IL could possibly mean, as DIFF
ferent people from different sections Of
the country had the sams to say, that
the "Big Four" were the canse Of the
low prices we were receiving for our
cattle, and I, for one, Mr.. Editor,
agreed with them that there was 9
combination 10 beat the csttlemen,
and Isfirmly believed IL until my eyes
were opened on Dec. l3 q. the Union
Stock Yards, Chicago, when I saw
cattle at sl.25 per hundred up to s7.O(
per hundred sold on that day. I. like
many others that had cattle on thu
ms rkst, began to inquire and try II
find out what was the matter and 4
the the Big Four was the cause. Nov

was on the market Dec. ls, II, OF

were only II head that brought seven
cents per pound, and only 20 head
brought over six cents. and only
about 5000 brought over four csnh
and the rest brought one and q quar-
ter to four cents per pound. Now,
have been coming to Chicago market
for 40 years, and I must say buyers
have learned quality more In the last
year than they did In the 3s yeass pre-
ceding It. Now / think this is one ol
the Big Four. / Also found that there
were four where only three were re
quired. and / think you may call thi'
another Of the Big Four; and again
found only one in 1000 that had tn
quality to bring seven cents. Coun
that as Big -Four; and found amonI

there were too many cattle half fat Of

Salvation.
Spencer.

Salvation-what music there is in
that word music that never tires, but
is always new, that always rouses yet
always rests us. 1t holds in itself all
that our hearts would say. 1t is sweet
vigor to us in the morning, and in the
evening it is contented peace. 1t is a
song that is always singing itself deep
down in the delighted soul. Angelic
ears are ravished by it up in heaven
and our eternal Father himself listens
to it with adorable complacency. 1t is
sweet even to him out of whose mind
is the music of thousand worlds. To
be saved! What is it to be saved in
the fullest and utmost meaning? Who
can tell? Eye hath not seen, nor ear
heard. 1t is rescue from such ship
wreck. 1t is rest, and in such a
home. 1t is to lie down forever in the
bosom of God, in an endless rapture of
Unsuitable conference.-the. W. Faber.

The Water Of Life.

The last promise in the Bible pre-
sents the full and free provisions of the
redemption of Christ under the figure
of water: Whosoever will, let him
take the water of life freely" What
better type? What more appropriate
smile? Think of the clouds! Swift
chariots flying over the continents and
islands, pouring out freshness and
beauty upon the lands. Think of the
springs of all the mountains and hills of
the globe, limpid, beautiful and sweet,
every one Joy to beast, bird and man.
The trickling rills among the rocks sing
their liquid songs as Christ sang to the
lonely Elijah, and he drank while the
world thirsted. Every valley has its
streams. The river courses combine
and sweep on in the Danubes, the Niles,
the Mississippis and the Amazons to
the ocean. The great lakes, like Su
perior and Ontario, and the gems of the
Highland and Alpine regions, form
great reservoirs of the purest waters
for the millions. Then the ocean, the
mother of all waters, gives off from her
bosom the vapors that form all the
clouds, springs, rivers and lakes. So
the water of life has its systems of dis
tribution. Itcomes through the Church,
and she says to the sinful and weary,
"ComeW The divine Word is we'll
spring of beauty. Drink, We longing
and thirsting ones. Christ is the foun-
tain of living water, as he said to the
woman of Samaria. Prayer is con-
duit from the springs of the everlasting
hills. Faith opens the reservoirs of the
heavenly heights, and we drink of the
efiluent stream and battle in the heal
ing waters. Ye longing ones, come !;
the worlds fountains will fail you by
and by. Wealth can not be held; it
hath its last draught Pleasure evapo-
rates into emptiness. Only the full
ness of Christ remains. Only the proof
of salvation is never drained. There
is but one river that maketh glad the
city of God. Come, then, for Jesus
sake, drink of the water of life, and
learn the sweetness of this wonderful
promise.-Dwight Williams, in Chris
tan Advocdte.

Physical Sins.

The preservation of health is duty.
Few men seem conscious that there is
such a thing as physical morality.
Mems habitual words and acts imply
the idea that they are at liberty to treat
their bodies as they please. Disorders
entailed by disobedience to natures
dictates they regard simply as griev-
ances, not as the effects of a conduct
more or less hagitious. Though the
evil consequences inflicted on their de-
pendents, and on future generations,
are often as great as those caused by
crime, yet they do not think themselves
in any degree criminal. 1t is true that
in the case of drunkenness the vicious
ness of a bodily transgression is recog-
nized, but none appear to infer that if
this bodily transgression is vicious, so
too is every bodily transgression. The
fact is that all breaches of the laws
of health are physical sins.-Herbert
Spencer.

BY Name.

What tenderness of personal attach
ment there is in that phrase, I" He call
eth his own sheep by nameW What an
intimacy it bespeaks! Every disciple,
high or humble, is better known by
Jesus than any child by its own mother.
All our peculiar weaknesses, all our
wants and griefs and backslidings, as
well as our peculiar capabilities for his
service, are perfectly plain to him. The
valley of death is no new place to him
for he has not only trod it himself, he
has led myriads of his redeemed ones
through it. On the resurrection morn
we shall find that Jesus the Shepherd
has come out of the tomb before us,
the f." first fruits of them that sleep"
Even into heaven he enters as "our
Forerunner." And so all through the
believers experience his loving Leader
is seen going on before; and the whole
duty of godly life is summed up in
that single word, following Jesus.-Dr.
II. L. Cuyler.

How the Twelve Apostles Died.

Matthew is supposed to have suffered
martyrdom, or was slain with the sword
in the city of Ethiopia, in Egypt.
Luke was hanged upon an olive-tree in
Greece. John was put into cauldron
of boiling oil at Rome and escaped
death. He afterward died a natural
death at Ephesus, in Asia. James the
great was beheaded at Jerusalem.
James the less was thrown from pin
nacle or wing of the temple, and then
beaten to death with fuller's club.
Philip was hanged up against pillar
at Hierapolis, city of Phrygia. Bar
tholomew was fiayed alive by the COM
mand, and bound to a cross, whence he
preached unto the people until he eX-
pred. Thomas was run through the
body with lance at Coremandel, in
the East Indies. John was shot to
death with arrows. Simon Zealot was
crucified in Persia. Matthias was first
stoned and then beheaded. Barnabas
was stoned to death by the Jews at
Salania. Paul was beheaded at Rome
by the tyrant Nero. -ETchdnge.

He was BOw-Legged.

He had taken a vacant seat in the
car by the side of lovely young girl
with whom he had some acquaintance
already, and whom he was DESTROYS of
impressing favorably. Under the spell
of his brilliant conversational powers
and the glance of his dark hazel eye
the tell-tale blush had risen to her
cheek and bore mute yet eloquent tes-
timony to the progress the presumptu-
Gus youth was making in her good
graces. Carelessly handing the train
boy a quarter of dollar and requesting
the worth of it in caramels he was
about to resume the conversation that
had been interrupted for the moment,
when he saw the flush die out of the
young lady's face and a cold, indiffer-
ent, wearied look take its place, and he
knew a blight had fallen forever on his
budding hopes. On what trifles hang
the destinies of two human lives! AS
the boxes of caramels were thrown by
the train-boy on the young mans lap
they fell to the floor, and his fair com
panion had seen them fall and noted
the reason. ~ can never marry a

words we're few and uttered feebly;
they were the words of feeble child

ment was that of meek and quiet

world more beautiful than ever it
was before; they brought home to my
heart great and blessed truth. May
all of us be strong in him. "-LJe Of

Canon Farrar on Work.

You think this world is pleasant
place to live in, but do you ever think
that you were put in it for something
more than enjoyment? Every man
and woman, every boy and girl has a
work to do for which they are respon-
sible to God. Are you doing your
work? Canon Farrar says some very
forcible words about this He says:
"' All flesh is not the same flesh; one
star differeth from another star in
glory But however small the taper,
however dim the flame, every one of
us may at least uplift his fiuttering
rushlight in the great illumination. In
nature the lion pacing the moonlit
sands shows Gods glory, and so does
the bee murmuring in the foxglove's
bell; the pink shell on the shore full
fills its appointed functions as perfectly
as leviathan whitening the tempestu-
GUS seas. Nor is it otherwise in the
world of men, and because we are in
finitely below the highest there is no
reason why we should herd with the
basest and most unclean. If we can
not soar as eagles, let us at least fly
with sparrows. The man with one
talent may more laudably and more
faithfully serve God than he with five.
Look at these grades of men. The
man who feels more pleasure in eating
and in putting gin and ale into his
stomach, or in gratifying his vilest
propensities, is a mere beast. Little
better is the whining cumberer of the
ground who thinks that the world ex-
lists to award and appreciate his idle
uselessness."

Home Theology.

Not for years and years had Janet
been to church; she had long been un-
able to walk so far; and having no
book but the best, and no help to under
stand it but the highest, her faith was
simple, strong, real, all-pervading. Day
by day she poured over the great Cos
pel-I mean just the good news accord
ing to Matthew and Mark and Luke
and John-unti she had grown to be
one of the noble ladies of the kingdom
of heaven, one of those who inherit
the earth and are ripening to see God,
for the Master, and his mind in hers,
was her teacher. She had little or no
theology save what he taught her, or
rather what he is George Mac Donald.

The Saving Covert.

Several years ago party were boat
ing on the Potomac river. 1t was sug-
gested that there be singing, and
gentleman in the company sang, very
beautifully, "Jesus, lover of my soul"
Another gentleman among the number,
being deeply moved by the singing,
exclaimed: " Ny friend, did / not hear
you sing that same hymn one night on
the battlefield, years ago?" The singer
reflected a moment, and replied that
he did remember to have sung it one
night when on picket duty. He had
not heard from home for weeks, his
heart was very heavy, and there, as he
stood alone under the heavens on that
clear night, he sang to the Lover of his
soul that he might get comfort. The
confederate veteran-for such he was
said: Yes, that was when / heard
you sing. | was sharpshooter. When
| saw you out on picket duty | raised
my gun and took deadly aim. | caught
the voice of your singing, and when
you plaintively poured out those words,
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of thy wing
my gun dropped and you were saved.
Jesus did cover your defenseless head!"
How many have been comforted and
saved in the singing of that hymn.
When Gods children are in the night
and loneliness of sorrow and longing,
the shadow of the divine wings is over
them like great sheltering dome.
When the deadly aim of unseen danger
covers them, there is another covering
which is their safety from all danger.
The covert of his wing saves.-J. r.
d., an Christian Advocate.
