IN DOLLARS AND CENTS.

What Rev. Talmadge is Worth to the
Brooklyn Tabernacle People.
Nevertheless it is true, says a New
York correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press, that the finances of the taberna-
Gle are dependent upon Talmadge. If
he should become seriously ill, perma-
nentlv disabled, or should die in the
immediate future, the trustees would
be wofully embarrassed. Strange as it
NAV seem, they would be less embar-
raised in the event of his death than
they would be if he became disabled.
Even Mr.. Sage would not loan his
money without the additional security of
life-insurance policy, and other poll
cies upon his life would secure the
tabernacle upon certain financial obliga-
tons. His financial value to the taber-
nacle is estimated at from $4,000 to
$50, 900 year. Taking out his own sal
airy of ST., 900, if $40, 900 were raised in
collections and pew rents, the sum
would be sufficient to pay the interest
and to provide good sinking fund to
meet the debt when it became due.
Talmage continues his prosperity as a
money-maker. His lectures, his week
ly sermon, published throughout the
country, his editorial connection, bring
his income up to not far from $40, 900,
and he earns steadily more money than
Beecher ever did, although some Of
Beecher's receipts for special endeavors
were enormous. Talmage takes better
care of his money than Beecher did,
and is generally supposed to be worth
at least $2500O0. Talmage seems to be
in the very best of health, and believes
that he has got twenty years more Of
good work in him.

WONDERS IN WARP AND WOOF.

The Magnificent Tapestries Owned by
Washingtonian.
Perhaps the rarest collection of ia
pestries to be found in America is that
owned by Mr.. Charles NJ. Foulke, who
for the last fifteen years has made the
collection of these works of art his
special mission in life. Two of the fine
large tapestries which now adorn the
walls of the gallery, built especially for
this purpose in the Massachusetts
Avenue residence of the owner, are
valued at 5000. The landscapes repre-
scented are essentially Roman
These tapestries were made at the
Pontifical mandatory founded by
Cardinal Francois Barberini at Rome.
The cartoons were painted by Nicholas
Poussin and the tapestries woven under
the superintendent of Jacques della
Riviera. In the top borders of all
these tapestries is a cartouch inclosing
the laughing face of Bacchus encircled
by garlands of flowers. In the lower
borders is cartouch with medallion
center supported by two young satyrs.
The medallion inoioses three bees, the
emblem of the Barberini family en-
circled by wreath. The side borders
are composed almost entirely of mag
niticently sculptured caryatides holding
upon their heads vases filled with
flowers and standing upon pedestals or
namentedwith sphinxes and heads ofthe
sacred Egyptian ram. These caryatides
are modelled after the idols consecrated
to the Egyptian goddess Artemis, sister
of Apollo.

A Man Who Knocks His w lies Face
Out of Shape While Unconscious.
| had patient recently, a married
man, says DR.. "A. S. Whitmore, of
Boston, in the st. Louis GlobeDemocrat,
whose wife could not sleep in the same
bed with him because he was liable at
any time to strike her in the face while
he was asleep. 1t was the worst case of
restlessness in sleep | ever saw. He
was a sleep-walker who didn't walk, but
used his hands in his dream-ideas just
as if they were real. He had fairly
beaten the plastering from the wall on
that side of the bed. The case was so
strange that I sat by his bedside one
night to watch him.
His sleep was quiet for some time, and
than he commenced to murmur unlntel-
lightly and draw his arms up and down.
Suddenly he gclinched his fists and
struck out with his right as hard as he
could. He was lying on his left side,
facing me, so that his blow was wasted
on the empty air. awakened him, and
he told me after a while that he
remembered dreaming of being attacked
by highwayman, whom he knocked
down. A sleeping dog often moves his
lags as if running, and human beings are
more or less restless in the dream
state, but this was the worst case |

UNDER THE KNIFE.
How the Doctors Brought Sight to On'
Who Was Born Blind.

How the Doctors Brought Sight to One
Who Was Born Blind.
Born with her eyelids closed, yet able
to an extent to distinguish between
bright light and total darkness, 6-year-
old Myrtle Higbee, of Denver, yester-
day underwent a marvellous operation
in optical surgery at the State School for
the Deaf and Blind here, SAYS Colorado
Springs correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Record. After administering an
anasthetic the surgeons carefully dis
sected her eyelids, parting them with a
scalpel and forceps until the eyeball was
reached. TWAS found then that the eye
vas turned very much inward. The
cornea was slightly Opaque and flat
tened.
The eyelid was firmly adhered to the
surface of the eyeball by fbres of con-
nective tissue, and these had to be cut
one at a time until the eyelid could be
turned back. AS the little patient began
to show signs of heart failure from the
it was decided not to oper-
ate upon the left eye; SO the lids Of the
right eve were bound back with sutures
and bandages applied.
If further adhesion can be prevented
the child has very favorable chance Of
getting much more light, probably
enough SO that she will be able to dis
tingush the larger objects and can avoid
running into them.

Bad Temper an Affection.

Many people consider that bad
temper" is entirely voluntary on the
part of the person who displays it. AS
a matter of fact, it is often to very
great extent involuntary, and no one is
more angry at it than the bad-tempered
person himself says the New York
Ledger. Of course, everyone, whether
he is born with bad temper or has &C
quired one from habit, or has been Wis
tied with one as the result of disease or
injury, should at least try to control it;
But his friends should also bear in mind
that bad temper may be, and often is,
an affection to be sympathized with,
not an offense to be punished.

A FANATIC

young knight made his battle cry,
"I'll fight the evil till l die!
And forth he rushed with needless might
To do his battle for the right.
And recklessly he laid about.
And ruthlessly, and felt no doubt,
But blindly struck whate'er he saw
That seemed to HIM to have flaw.
At length doubt came to his mind;
He paused, and turned, and looked behind
Alas! too late he understood
How deftly mingies i'll with good.
With swimmingseyes. with Keeling brain,
He saw the good that he had slain.
Himself seemed evil to him now,
And then he thought upon his VOW.
And, 10! the warrior lay at rest,
With his own dagger in his breast!

There is spur of Mount Washing

Vermont and almost shuts in a deep
valley at it's foot. The winds that sweep
over the mountain all winter long drift
the snow into this valley, which has
very little natural outlet, being on the
north side of the range, and the snow
accumulates in it until by spring it is
sometimes 1000 feet deep. Of course,
as soon as the weather gets warm it be-
gins to melt and keeps eli melting until
August, by which time there is about 100
or so feet only left. "-NeW York World.
