The Trade of the Amazon.

The commerce Of the Amazon Rive is
carried on under the BrSzllian flag.
Foreigners are not allowed by law to own
steamers or sailing vessels employed in
inland navigation; hence it is necessary
for capitalists who control the carrying
trade OF the river to assign their interest
to Brazilians. "There are forty steamers
owned by an English line, which re-
ccives large mail subsidy from the
Brazilian Government for plying between
various ports and villages on the main
tributaries; and in return for this
financial support it is we'll satisfied to fly
the national flag.
Another company has eight steamers
under similar conditions, and there are
as many as dozen more on the river and
its tributaries which sail under the
Brazilian flag. These sixty steamers arc
gradually opening up the Amazon valley
to commerce. Only the smaller vessels
arc now running beyond Maonos, at the
junction of the Negro, but next year the
largest English vessels will make regular
trips to Yquitas, distance of $3.50 miles
from the coast. This river trade is almost
completely in the hands of the Portu-
guese merchants and the mercantile houses
represented at Para, city of so, 600 in
habitants. s.-BrQdstreetS.

THE ZEAL THAT TRrUMPHs.

The more the Christian comes to under
stand the full import of the work of mis-
sions, the heavier does the burden lie upon
his soul. Under the weight of such work
it is no marvel that DR.. Fuller, less than q
century ago, when repul:ed in his begging
from door to door for the money with which
to send Carey to the heather, should retire
to weep and pray; as he says, III frequently
retired from the more public streets to the
back lanes that l might not be seen to weep
over my disappointments." The only
marvel is that so few of Chr:st's followers
have the same zeal. DR.. Durpin tells Us Of
Moravian mother who understood
Christ's call for workers in the worlds
harvest: "A friend in much sad
ness said to her, Your son is gone .Is
sionary life? Would to God that he would
The committee were sad, but the old lady
anticipated them, and exclaimed, Would
that He would call my last SOD, William!'
William went and fell. Then she ex..
claimed, Would that had thousand sons
to give to Godn" How much are you Civ
ing for this work of reconciling the world to
God? All need Christ. God gave Him for
the world. He tasted death for every man."
He is the supreme need of every mortal.
This is field where human knowledge
and speculations are of little value, and q
no authority. What God declares we can
trust. Beyond that nothing is certain. tt
is not necessary for US to judge the heathen.
1t is safe for us to expect that the Judge of
all the earth will do right; for "God is no
respecter of persons; but in every nation,
he that feareth Him and worketh righteous
ness is accepted with Him."

Millions Of Buds.

In land where roses are in bloom the
year round, and where there is an end
less variety of other flowers all the time,
it might reasonably be expected that the
women would be fond of flowers; but
to those from colder climates, unaccus-
toned to such a wealth of flowers, the
ingenuity, taste and patience of Siamese
women in making floral decorations are
very wonderful.
On great occasions among the higher
classes the decorations are usually the
work of the womep of the harem, and
being confined to their own inventions,
as they are, their success is such as to
make one wish that their skill and labor
might be exercised on something more
lasting. Sometimes you will see large
table covered with lace-like spread
which Is made entirely of flowers.
The foundation part is a network
made of a small, fragrant flower that they
always use when it is in bud, and in that
condition it is about the size and shape
of an ordinary white bean. 1t seems as
if millions of these little buds must have
been neatly fastened together first, then
larger flowers beautifully arranged for a
fringe, then a border added, and then
the heavier lace work in the middle, and
all this is done so quickly that the flowers
still look as fresh as if they had just been
plucked from the stem.
What marvel of beauty it makes, and
yet it is but one item among the numerous
specimens of their skill in this particular
ine.-Demorest's Monthly.

MR.. pEPEw ON LIQUOR DRINKING.

Hon. Chauncey M. Depew will scarcely be
accused Of fanaticism on the question Of
liquor drinking. Here is Mr.. Depew's ex-
perience as stated in speech OF his before
company Of railroad men:
TWENTY-FIVE years ago knew every man,
woman and child in Peekskill. And it has
been study with me to mark boys who
started in every grade of life with myself, to
see what has become Of them. I was up last
fall and began to count them over, and it
was an instructive exhibit. Some Of them
became clerks, merchants, manufacturers
lawyers, doctors. 1t is remarkable that
every one of those that drank is dead; not
one living Of my age. Barring a few who
were taken OF by Sickness every one who
proved a wreck and wrecked his family did
it from rum aud no other cause. OF those
who were church-going people, who were
steady, industrious and hardworking men,
who were frugal and thrifty, every single
one of them without an exception, owns
the house in which he lives and has soma-
thing laid by, theinterest on which, with his
house, would carry him through many q
rainy day. When n man becomes debased
with gambling, rum OF drink he doesn't care,
all his finer feelings are crowded out. The
poor women at home are the ones who suffer
suffer in their tenderest emotions; suffer IN
their affections for those whom they love
better than life"

A JUDGE PAYS A PRISONERS FINE.


"a criminal was brought before Scot

he had been old schoolfellows and close
companions. The one by his energy had
attained an honorable position on the bench,
but the other went down step by step in the
path of sin until he came to the criminal

Many skirmish have the two armies had,
but the great and decisive battle is yet to be
fought. Either from our earthly homes OF

come in on the right side; for on that side are
God and heaven and victory. Meanwhile the
battle is being set in array, and the forces

A FALLACY.

We were earnestly demonstrating with
friend who had been brought under deep
conviction of sin, on her intended particl.
patton in certain very common bit OF
worldiness, for the sake of which she was
going to absent herself from the meetings
in which she had become interested for her
salvation. We tried to point out two things
the work OF the Holy Ghost in her soul;
and second, the sin of doing the
thing she was proposing to do. To the latter
of which she replied: But 1 am not a.
Christian yet. l admit that it would be a
sin for me to engage Ill the affair II were
q Christian. After become Christian,
l know 1 will have to give it up and many
more things like it; but l thought so long
as l was not Chr stan it would not be
SIM" .
We are sure that many Others are indulg.
ing in this kind of sophistry. 1t is q devils
lie. Sin is sin. Worldliness is sin whether
indulged in by sinners or professors OF re-
ligion. 1t is dreadful thing for Christians
to be fouLd practicing the sins of the world
lings rs so many of them freely do but it is
none the less for sinner to 60 on SHINING.
What monstrous delusion sin IS: How
desperately wicked and deceitful the human
heart is. The whole world lieth in the
"wicked one," and with him they curse be-
cause the love of God is not in them. Let US
utter this solemn warning to young peo-
ple if any such may read this paragI Iaph,
and older people also, that theft is crime
even if it is committed by professional
burglar, no less tbsn if it is committed by q
church member. 1t is, no doubt, shock.
ing thing for confessed disciple OF Christ
to be found defrauding his employer, but it
is equally a crime for an unbcIievcr to do
so. What all outcry is made when q Christ
ian is found committing sin. Yet the act is
not sinful because it is done by a Christian.
God will not tolerate sin in His people--Eor
will He tolerate it in unbellevers. Sin is
sin by whomsoever it is committed, and
must be forgiven or punished. Whosnever

PUBLICAN MORTALITY.

The sanitary editor of the New York m
dependent Dr.. Ezra NJ. Hunt, i'll recent
article on THE Perils Of Occupation" says:
sit might seem some inducement to the
publican or barkeeper to forsake his occupa..
tion when he finds the mortality of those Of
his business to be greater than that of any
other class, and pretty closely followed by
those of outdoor occupations, suct as cab
men, who, as rule, indulge freely in spiritu-
Gus and malt liquors.
Notwithstanding this risk to health alld
life emphasized by life insurance companies,
there seem to be plenty of men to fill the places
made vacant by others as publicans and bar
keepers. Many tempted by money and ap-
petite. are ignorant of the peril involved: Let
there he light, and more light.--NatfoHat

while the number who do not use tobacco is
already large. Everywhere the cafe is gain.
