MUSICAL.

There seems to be little going on
in musical circles of late, but there
is much talk, among musical people,
of the marvellous cure of Miss B,
the high contralto singer, who has
long suffered from a severe throat
OF bronchial affection, superinduced
by Catarrh in the Head, and who
has been perfectly cured by the
use of DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
coupled with the use of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. For
all bronchial, throat and lung affec-
tions, and lingering coughs, it is an
unequaled remedy. When compli-
Gated with Chronic Nasal Catarrh,
its use should be coupled with the
use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
Of all druggists.

A Boy Suffers for a Dogs Theft.

A shaggy and valuable Newfoundland
dog is the household pet in the family Of
John Jones, mason, who lives IN
BROOKLYN. This animal was the innocent
cause of the arrest and arraignment be.
fore Justice Kenna in the Gates Avenue
Police Court, of Edward Cook, bright
lad of thirteen years, who has been em.
ployed for several months past in the
bakery of Charles Hillman. The little
fellow was arrested for stealing Mrs.
Jopes's pocketbook. The dog was the
thief, and only by accident was the in
nocence of the lad established.
Edward delivered several loaves oi
bread to Mr.. Jones's family every day,
When he went to the house on Tuesday
afternoon Mrs. Jones who usually re-
ceived the bread, was absent, and he
left the order on the dining room table
and returned to the bakery. Mrs. Jones
subsequently came down from an upper
room and missed her pocketbook, that
contained S45, and which she was posi-.
tive was lying on the table when she
went up stairs. She Immediately sus-
pected the boy and caused his arrest.
He asserted his innocence in the most
positive language, but was locked up
The police searched the lad, but found
no evidence of the theft on him, and the
baker made a search of the bake house,
When Mrs. Jones returned home she
made another search of her rooms for the
missing wallet, but could not find it.
While she was engaged in the search the
favorite pet dog lay stretched before the
fireplace. The dog was allowed to roam
about the house at will. His kennel was
in the yard, and every night it was the
custom of some one of the family to pre-
pare the dogs bed there. Mrs. Jones
went to the kennel at dusk and there
found the missing pockctbook. 1t lay
in the middle of the kennel and the teeth
marks of her dog in the leather con-
vinced her that he, and not young Cook,
had committed the theft. She found
the money intact and hurried to the sta
ton house, but the police could not re-
lease Edward except on an order from
a magistrate or bail bond. After an
other hours confinement the lad secured
his liberty and yesterday morning was
honorably discharged from custody. Had
the property not been found the boy
might have spent many days in Jail
awaiting the disposition of the charge
against him.-Mew York Herald.

America's Most Northern Habitati0n.

In his recent interesting account of
cruise with Arctic whalemen, under the
title, "Arctic Alaska and Siberia" Her.
bert L. Aldrich gives striking descrip.
ton of the most northern habitation on
the American continent. Most readers
are familiar with descriptions of the in
terror of Alaska dwellings, but Mr.. AID
drich's pen picture is fuller than usual,
and has the additional interest of por:
traying the furthest foothold of humanity
among the SHOWS and ice of the Arctic
regions. The igaloo Or habitation which
Mr.. Aldrich has photographed and pict-
ured is situated on Point Barrow, the
northernmost spur of the Alaskan coast.
After touching on the desolate situation
and squalid appearance of the native set
tlement, Mr.. Aldrich says:
"Finding one large igaloo that was
dry, I took the liberty to drop down
through the window into it. This was
the most northern habitation on the con.
tincnt which added to my desire to see
it. The roof was high, so that l could
stand erect. Across the north end oi
the room was platform, raised about
yard from the floor and extending out
from the wall five feet. A bundle Of
deerskins neatly rolled up lay on it; un-
derneath were box and one or two
household utensils. Close to the wall on
the south side was an oval hole In the
floor large enough for one not very cor
pulent to crawl through; this led to the
entrance proper. A few cooking and
other utensils stood in a corner near byi
in the other corner was small blubbeI
oil stove On each side of the room
was another of these stoves. Each was
made of piece of three-inch plank,
probably wreckage. The first one was
about eighteen inches long, the second
about two feet and the third three feet.
They were followed out to a depth, OF
an inch and a half and raised slightly
from the floor There were no moss on
them to serve as wick nor oil in them,
but piece of we'll smoked blubber hung
nearly two feet above each, indicating
that they had seen service.
HThe walls were OF smootn Doaros
closely held together and the floor was
a good one. Everything was as scrupu-
lousy neat, clean and orderly as any
housekeeper could wish for. The three
lamps were thickly coated with grease,
but that could not be otherwise. Every
article seemed to have its own place and
be in it, three or four racks on the walls
containing many of the smaller articles.
The size of this igaloo was twelve by
fourteen feet. Outside, opposite the en-
trance, was the usual staging or scaffold,
on which were some whalebone, perhaps
fifty pounds, deerskins, a bear and other
skins, two dead seals and other valuables.
Evidently the owner of the place was II
good circumstances.

RELIGIOUS READING.
THE BLESSED CHANGE.


Once was blind; no cheering ray
Brought light or comfort unto me,
Till Jesus met me in the way,
Touched my dimmed eyes-and now see.
Once I was poor; an outcast driven,
In want and wretchedness; but now,
Joint-heir with Christ of earth and Heaven,
A glorious crown awaits my brow.
Once, in vile-rags, forlorn and bare,
walked, nor cared for better dress;
Now rich and costly robes I wear,
Clothed in my Saviour righteousness.
Once fainting on lifes weary road,
toiled; hope, strength and courage gomez
Now Jesus takes my weighty load.
And I with lightened heart speed on.
Once. all my days were sad and cold,
The night hours knew my moaning voice;
Now, day and night, with joy untold,
And full of glory, 1 rejoice:

A Popularity of. Ministers.

Among the peculiarities of ministers
there exists one habit that is common
with most of them when preaching to

but one exception, remarks an observer
of this habit.
The minister names his text, facing
the audience directly in front of him, as
he should do. But as soon as he begins
his address and warns up with his sub.
ject he turns about, generally to his left,
and talks almost exclusively to but one.
third of the congregation, the largest
portion of his audience being unable to
hear more than an empty sound.
If the sermon is intended for all pres.
ent, the preacher should give all an
equal chance to see his face and to heal
his words. On recent Sunday evening
when there was an immense congregation
in one of our largest churches, the gal
cries were about equally filled with young
women and young men who were pre-
sumably equally interested in the ser
mon; but not q word was spoken tc
women. 1t was all "young man, young
man," and mostly in but one gallery al
that! Do not young women-especially
those who have to earn their daily bread
by hard toil:amid great discouragcmen,

A BISHOPS BURNING WORDS.

The Catholic Church is absolutely and
irrcvocably opposed to drunkenness and to
drunkard making In vain we profess to
work for souls if we do not labor to drive
out an evil which is daily begetting sins by
the ten thousand and peopling hell. In vain
we boast of civilization and liberty if we do
not labor to cxterminate intemperance.
Education, the elevation of the masses,
berty-all that the age admires-is set at
naught by the dreadful evil. The individual "a
conscience is the first arm in opposing 1t,
but the individual conscience has to be
strengthened and supplemented by law; The
claim of the saloon keepers to freedom IN
their traffic is the claim to spread disease, sin,

THE APOSTLE PAUL.

How possible it is to mix together the
vigor of a masculine and manly intellect
with the tenderness and charity which is
taught by the gospel of Christ No man
ever breathed so freely when on earth the
air and atmosphere of heaven as the Apostle
Paul-no man ever scared SO high above all
as he, and yet no man ever bound himself
so little to the ignorance, the scruples, the
prejudices of his brethren, so that what in
other cases was infrmity, imbecility and
superstition, gathered around it in his case
the pure, high spirit of Christian charity
and Christian delicacy.-Robertson.

"pAsT REDEMPTIoN POINT"

On the bank of the Niagara river, where
the rapids begin to swell and swirl most
desperately, preparatory to their final
plunge is sgn-board which bears most
startling legend: "Past redemption point"
it reads. To read it, even when one feels
the firm soil beneath his feet, sends shiver
of horror through ones soul, as he looks off
upon the turbulent waters, and realizes the
full significance of the sign. The. one who
gets into those boiling rapids, and passes
that point, cannot retrace his way, cannot
pull to shore, cannot be- rescued by friends.
He is not yet dead, but he might as we'll be.
He must give up all hope of rescue, he can
only float on, swiftly and more swiftly,
until death ends his suspense and misery.
Redemption point! How many men real
ize that life OF sin is like madly flowing
stream, gathering momentum with every
day, and that there is point beyond which
if man wilfully 90, he cannot STOP. That
there is such point in our moral history
danger for those who are enlightened and
enjoy Gospel privileges is quite evident.
May have passed that point who are dead
even while they live. They will be no more
dead when they have been sucked down the
CLASSY throat of the final whirlpool
than they are at this moment The
awful torrent of sin has them in
its relentless demoniacal grip, and is rapid
Iy carrying them beyond redemption point.
No sign-board marks the spot, but, sinner,
it is somewhere On the road you are travel
ing. Not even God can save the soul that
commits the sin for which there is no par
don. Up to that point there is-not safe
ty-but hope The death-line may be near.
Be not foolhardy, friend! Stop while you
can! Venture no farther. Darkness, despair
and death await all VINO turn not. But
there is life for you in Christ today.-Euan.

as a great people never did. The skcpticism
of the last century did not uproot Chris
