No person can outgrow the need of
the Sabbath-school. 1t holds him, in
the rush and stress of life, to at least
one portion OF the revealed word.
That is kept before him; helps to
light it up are sought after; reading
and conversation and thought are
more or less entered on that
wonderful book, which furnish es
the souls nourishment. And
out OF this come grace and backbone
to meet temptation, and love and ten
derness for the tried and sinful. The
need OF systematic study, such as
this, grows with the years. The pull
OF ambition, and competition, and cares
OF the day, is away from the feeding
places of spiritual things; and one
must be held and compelled to resist
that pull, by duties and relationships
such as the Sabbath school provides.
The children need, in this work.
the sympathy and wisdom and guild
ance OF those who are older; while
we, in turn, need the inspiration and
cheer and refreshing that come from
intermingling with childhood. And
both alike need to drink deep and
Systematically for the sparkling wells
OF the precious word.
Medical Missionaries In China.
The medical missionaries in China
appear to be making deep impress
sion upon the people. The physician
is well-nieh worshiped; his person
and work are sacred. A remarkably
healthful and uplifting influence flows
from the labors OF the female physi-
clans and OF the native nurses trained
by them. Their work has opened the
eyes OF the Orientals to the capabili-
ties of women. There are said
to be 100 medical mission
aries in China at the present time.
thirty-eight OF whom are women. all
but two OF whom are from America.
The Medical Missionary Record says:
1T is not always easy to obtain en-
trance into a Chinese city. The man
who gains the goodwill is the ply
stefan. With q hospital, a daily
clinic, and large country field. the
most skilled surgeon would always
find his hands full. We ask our
friends OF the medical profession to
come over and help US. There are
about one hundred missionary doctors
in China: one thousand are needed." "
Love for Ones Own Church.
1t il neither narrowness nor bigotry
to love your own church more than
any other; to labor for her extension
and upbuildingmore than for any other;
and to feel a deeper attachment to her
principles and usages than to those OF
other denominations. That man who
makes sighting remarks about his
own church. her principles or people;
who magnities her defects; who dis
parages her efforts to maintain the
cause and advance the work entrusted
to her. lie usually one who would be
of little use to any church. We never
could admire that boy who did not
love his own mother, and who was
everlastingly making invidious COM
parsons between her and the mothers
OF ether boys.

The Rage for Hot Milk.

By the by, there has never been so
much vogue given to milk as there is just
now. In fact, there are hundreds of
clubmen who have never seen as much
since they went from one bottle to an
other. You are asked to have glass Ut
hot milk, or glass of hot vichy, just as
you are asked to have a cup of tea, or
some creme de menthe. In a cut glass
goblet, standing on bright hued plate,
the milk and vichy is particularly appe-
tizing, and it is marvellous how much of
it the men drink.
1t is the result of Offering a simple
drink in an attractive manner. Service
in this world means so much, and really
it seems to be%nore appreciated by men
than by women. A boiled potato and a
piece of beefsteak on hot plate, with a
glittering silver fork and bright steel
knife, with the butter in dainty little
pat, and the bread in smooth cut piece,
with the whitest of napery, is more ap-
petizing than dinner of twenty courses
served in careless fashion.-New York

Mr. Astor,s Eiancee.

Miss Ava Willing, of Philadelphia, the
betrothed of John Jacob Astor, son of
the late William Astor, has softly
brilliant complexion. with Il lovely pink
flush that comes and goes in her cheeks.
Her face is round, and its beauty is en-
phasized by the daintiest oval chin with
dinple in it. Her hair is very dark
brown, almost black, and her eyes, which
are of deep violet blue, look much darker
for the long black lashes which curtain
them. Miss Vikings figure is extremely
pretty and graceful, with a rounded
waist and lovely shoulders. She is a
trihe above medium height, and while
she impresses you as being very slender,
she is, as matter of fact, quite plump,
and there is not sharp angle about her.
She appears to be thoroughly natural
and unaffected. Her manner is sweet
and winning. Her intimates say she has
the loveliest disposition imaginable, and
if only half of the nice things said OF
her are true young Mr.. Astor is to be
most heartily congratulated on winning
so fair and so charming bride.-St.
Louis Republic.

which crowded the older and better sport
out of fashion. The Springfield boys and
girls of fifty years ago found good skat-
ing at their very doors. Frost's pond
was just off Main street, back of the pres
ent site of Brigham's stores and the Sec
ond bank, and when the meadows were
flooded, as was often the case, the young
sters could skate from State street clear
up to Carew by climbing an occasional
pair Of bars.
In those days the crack fancy skater
of the town was Emory Whipple, the
now veteran jeweler. There were none
of the ingenious skates which every boy
has now. The runner or shoe either had
a groove along the bottom or consisted
of two parallel pieces of steel. The
present narrow edge was unknown; the
toe ended in a fantastic curl, and the
heel was held to the boot heel by spike.
The skate was securely bound to the
foot with many windings of strap.
Getting ones skates on was not the triv-
ial matter that it is today.-Springheld

Temperature in the House.

It is strange how few people there are
whose feelings are criterion as to the
proper temperature of a room. No room
in winter should be higher in tenpera-
ture than 6S degs. Fahrenheit. Yet a
great many living rooms and, worse
than this, sleeping rooms, are kept habit
ually at a much higher temperature.
Many wise people believe that the fire.
quency of pneumonia and other danger
Gus diseases of the lungs and breathing
organs in winter may be directly traced
to overheated houses and the sudden
change experienced in going from this
high temperature into the cold outer at
mosphere. 1t would be better if we
made mo&e use of the thermometer in
regulating the heat of our houses, the
atres and lecture rooms.-New York

Mrs. Roscoe Conkling.

The temperance of Mrs. Roscoe Conk-
ling on the streets of New York brings
back to the thousands of friends of her
lamented husband, who were familiar
with her face only at rare intervals,
recollections of her earlier beauty. Mrs.
Conkling must be more than sixty now.
She is unusually tall looking, being 50
erect, and in her mourning garments
seems actually taller than her real height,
which can't be less than 8 feet 6. Her
eyes are blue and her features finely
chiselled. Seen side by side with Mrs.
Grant, the contrast between her stately
proportions and the shorter, s.outer fig
ure of her companion, whose complexion
is much darker, is noticeable. Mrs.
Conkling's married daughter, Mrs. Oak
man, was the companion of these two
ladies on their visit to the Conkling
painting in the Hoffman House.-New

The Shortage in the Food Crops.

The magnitude of the food supplies OF
a nation is not very easily conceived.
We get an approximate idea in the i'm
ports of Great Britain. In 1889 no less
than So, 100000 bushels of wheat went
into British ports, and -four to the value
of $41, 10000 has circulated in English
bread pans. 1t is calculated that the
shortage in wheat in the crop of 1890
will not be less than 100, ,000,0 900 bushels.
Potatoes are placed at the same short
age. Fruits, vegetables and berries are
credited with deficiency of 00,000, ,00C
bushels. Europe reports 233, 100000
bushels lacking in the average potato
crops, and the wheat crops as being So
900, 900 bushels less than the annual con
sumption. Should these figures be but
approximately true, they indicate gray
ity in the situation that the coming yeal
will very pertinently show.-Economist

Saved by "A Hairpin.

The hairpin in the trolley has again
come to light Several weeks ago The
Herald printed story telling how a
hairpin furnished by lady passenger
enabled one OF the electric cars to con-
tinue on it's trip to the hill. Friday
morning the hairpin was removed and
replaced by one made for the purpose.
1t is only justice to the hairpin, how

The Story of a Deer.

At Mehama, Ore, few days ago,
when George Terrell's little daughter
went to the pasture to drive up the
cows, she found pretty 2-year-old deer
feeding with them. She drove the cows
to the barn yard and the deer ran along,

in the barn the deer was caught with
but little trouble, and is readily submit

Skatiur Then and Now.

The opening of the skating season this
winter revealed a curious fact. Very
few of the girls of q certain age, those
Just blossoming into young womanhood,
knew how to skate, and there was a like

were perfectly at home on the ice. This
is easily accounted for. Ii the warip

How a Spider Throws Its Poison.

The spider is provided with most ef-
fective apparatus for injecting its poison,
consisting of modified mandibles, called
falces, the last joint of which has hard
curved fang, with 6ssure near the
point The muscles used in closing the
mandibles also press upon the poison
gland, causing the poison to be expelled
through the fssure into the wound, and
thence into the circulation of the victim

An Expensive Message.

A cablegram of over 1900 words,
which passed through this city from
Lima to London one night recently over
the lines of the Western Union com
pany, cost a pretty penny to transmit,
the rate being over 50 word. This
would represent an outlay of over $4,000,
and is probably the largest toll paid by
an individual or company outside of

BOSTON CLOSING QUOTATIONS.
LATEST LONDON ouoTATl

SATURDAY, Aug. 4.
Although the trading in stocks is In keeping
with tho ssason OF general recreation and re-
lax alton the fluctuations this week have been
noteworthy. At the same time they do not
seem to have been particularly significant.
Wall street has made little history this week.
The finances OF the Union Pacific Company
have been brought to tho attention Of the pub
ic again. and steps have been taken TO remove
them as Q disturbing factor In tho general
situation. An attack upon the Rich
mond Terminal system. published to-day,
Was the only other incident OF the week.
The partial analysis Of the financial affairs OF
the Terminal and its constituent companies.
though heralded as an alarming expose, had
no effect upon the general list and very little
effect upon the prices OF Terminal securl-
tics. 1t would appear that the facts and condl-
lions set forth In the publication referred to
have already been fully discounted In the
prices OF Richmond Terminal and allied secnr-
tiles.
The weekly statement OF averages OF the As
sociated Banks shows no important changes.
The loans are little larger. which may be re-
garded as indicating slight Improvement in
the demand for money and the item OF lawful
money is about s750.000 larger than last week.
Money is not going into the country very rap.
idly. though the winter wheat is beginning to
move to the sea coast In large quantities. A
year ago the banks were shipping about . mil
lion dollars day to the West This year they
are not shipping much moro than that during
week. The moderate demand for funds to
move the crops bears out the statements
printed In this column some time ago that the
West 10 much better supplied with capital lhan
