will be treated as a man would be treated
to-day who would go into a social gathering
with ragged coat upon his back. The
man who lives an unclean life will have the
same kind of avoidance in society that q
man would have who should 60 to All even
ing party with an unclean face or unclean

Tho Sin Of worldliness.
There is one other sin that, if all the
Christians went into society aud took their
Christianity along with them, would begin
to disappear. Perhaps this includes both
the others. 1t is the sin of worldliness.
We must not make the mistake of imagin-
ing that to be worldly means to go to par
ties and to the theaters, or to play cards.
One may do all these things and not be
worldly. We cannot tell about people
whom we do not know very well whether
they are worldly or not It is false to say
that society people are all worldly. A good
many of them are, but good many of them
are not WorldlinesS is temper, a dispo-
sition of the mind. He is worldly who ac-
counts eating and drinking and dressing and
all these minor transitory matters as Of
chief importance. That is what worldli-
ness is-it is the putting OF the less before
the greater. It is the caring for these
things which Christ told us we ought to care
for not all. And the test that we can ali of
us use to discover whether we are becoming
worldly or not is just that test. Is society
making US put the less before the greater?
Is it making us care for these things that
will all pass away by and BY more than for
those things that will last on into eternity?
We all have a temptation to worldliness.
Society Better Than Ever Before.
Worldliness shows itself in the blind fol-
lowing of foolish or extravagant or i'm
modest fashions. Religion touches human
lite so closely that 1t is concerned even with
the kind of clothes that people wear.
Worldliness utters its voice in foolish, or
uncharirable, or scandalous conversation.
The Lord Christ sits at the table. The
Lord Christ walks in the ballroom as He did
amid the festivities at Cana in Galilee.
He looks about Him here in Pittsburg-who
will doubt It?-as He looked about in old
Jerusalem, seeing sights that make him
weep.
And yet rejoice in the betterment of
society. 1 rejoice to believe that society is
more interested than it has ever been be-
fore in higher thinking and better living,
and is more conscious of its duties and of
its responsibilities. That is because there
are so many Christians in it. By and by
when all the Christians are in society, and
all the people in society are good Christians,
then we will be able to begin to think of
leaving out one of the petitions of the
Lords Prayer, because that Kingdom Of
Christ tor; whose coming we pray, will al
ready be very close at hand

type of vessel. Capable of carrying 5 per
cent larger cargo than the ordinary steam
barge because of the less weight secured by
the dispensing with main deck and sheer,
and costing 10 per cent less to build, she is
yet more staple than the whaleback. The
framing is stronger and the more nearly
vertical sides have more longitudinal
strength. The water bottom is deeper, thus
giving greater strength also, while the very
narrow little box constituting the forward
works and her steel cabins in the rear are
not liable to be torn off by the great seas
striking under them as is the case with the
whaleback. The coal bunkers are built
above the boiler room so that gravity helps
materially in getting fuel to the furnaces.
New straight-Back Vessels.
The other new type is known as the
"straight-back." As its name implies, its
deck is perfectly straight fore and aft,
having no sheer whatever. Three vessels
of this model are building for the Anchor
Line-the lake connection of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad-one each at Cleveland,
Detroit and Buffalo. Like the "monitor"
and "whaleback," the upper works offer as
little resistance as possible to the wind and
waves, and the cost is to 10 per cent less
than that of the old type of vessel.
Canada comes forward with boat differ
ing somewhat from all of these, in having
ram bow with forecastle deck forward, the
top-sides of which flare out somewhat like
the mold-board of plow. The design is by
w. E. Redway, of Toronto, and he claims
to have patents covering it in both United
States and Canada. However, he will have
a difficult time of it if he attempts to en-
force his claims against any OF the Ameri-
can builders of monitors or "strai ght-
backs" McDougal investigated that mat
ter in an attempt to establish a monopoly to
a cheap type of lake vessel and gave up in
despair Such leading features in reducing
the cost of barges as the absence of bulk
heads and second deck are not within the
reach of patent rights, and these are the

Big as a Cart Wheel
Pearson's Weekly.l
In Mindinac, the farthest southeastern
island in the Philippine group. upon one of
its mountains, the volcanic Apo. a party of
botanical and ethnographical explorers
found recently, at height of $500 feet
above the sea level, colossal flower The
discoverer, DR.. Alexander Schadenberg,
could scarcely believe his eyes when he saw
amid the low-growing bushes the immense
buds of this flower growing like gigantic
cabbage heads. But he was still more aston
ished when he found a specimen in full
bloom, a fve-petaIed flower nearly yard
in diameter, as large as carriage-wheel, in
fact
This enormous blossom was borne on a
sort of vine creeping on the ground. The
native, who accompanied DR.. Schadenberg,
called it "bolo." The party had no scale
by which the weight of the flower could be
ascertained, but they improvised swing
ing scale, using their boxes and specimens
as weights Weighing these when opportu-
nifty served, 1t was found that single
flower weighed over % pounds. 1t was i'm
possible to transport the fresh flower. so the
travellers photographed it, and dried num-
ber of its leaves by the heat of fire.

Gentleman's Magazine.l
Many races of men live entirely on ami
NAL food, and these are the more hardy, aud,
from all have been able to gather on the
subject, the most free from diseases Of all
kinds. Sir Francis Head says of the Pam
pas Indians: "They are all horsemen, or
rather, pass their lives on horseback. In
spite of the climate, which is burning hot
in summer and freezing in winter, these
brave men, who have never yet been SUBJ
dued, are entirely naked, and have not
even covering for their head.
'They live together in tribes, each of
which is governed by a cacique, but they
have no fixed place of residence. Where
the pasture is good, there are they to be
found until it is consumed by their horses,
and then they instantly move to a more
verdant spot They have neither bread,
fruit nor vegetables, but they subslst en-
tirely on the flesh Of their mares. The
Guachos of the Argentine Republic live en-
tirely on roast beef and salt, scarcely ever
tasting farinaceous or other vegetable food,
and their sole beverage is mate or Paraguay
tea taken without sugar"

IS CATARRH lNCURABLE?
Answer No, and for the Following
Reasons

Answer No, and for tho Following
The various kinds and modes of local ap-
plications for catarrh, such as sprays,
atomizers douches, inhalants, fumigations,
creams, ointments, lotions, gargles, etc.,
ETC., have in many cases soothing effect on
the inflamed surfaces, and are sometimes
useful to assist q cure; but neither of them
nor all of them together ever did or ever
will cure case of catarrh. These things
may give temporary relief, but it is useless
to expect q cnre of them. Catarrh is not a
local disease, hence can not be cured by
local treatment. The only hope of success
in the permanent cure of a case of chronic
catarrh is to devise some remedy that will
stimulate the nerves which supply the
capillary blood vessels. There is but one
remedy that has tine most desirable effect,
and that remedy is Pe-ru-na. This remedy
strikes at once at the root of the catarrh by
restoring to the capillary vessels their
healthy elasticity. Pe-ru-na is not tenn
porary palliative, but q radical cure. Its
action is necessarily slow, but permanent.
The reason that there are any failures is
either because the catarrh is complicated by
some organic disease or the patient does not
take the medicine long enough. The ma jor-
ity of people expect to be cured in aweek or
two OF catarrh that has run for ten or ff-
teen years. Such people are nearly always
disappointed. Pe-ru-na will cure a recent
case of acute catarrh in few days or weeks,
but when the disease becomes chronic it
takes longer. In no case should anyone
leave off taking Pe-ru-na until after writing
DR.. Hartman, as letter from him is al
most sure to point out the cause of the
failure.
A valuable pamphlet of thirty-two pages,
setting forth in detail the treatment OF ca
tarrh, coughs, colds, sore throat, bronchitis
and CONSUMPTION, in every phase of the dis
ease, will be sent free to any address by
The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Co. OF

Banana Bud all they know
it may grow on a tree or on a bush or
vine, but it doesn't. 1t is produced on huge
stalk that springs from the ground some
thing like giant celery, only the leaves
are of different shape. These stalks rise
from IL to Is, sometimes 20, feet in the air,
and each produces but single bunch of
fruit. Then it dies down and the four or
five suckers that have sprouted at its base
take its place, each bearing bunch of the
golden colored fruit nine months later
Many years ago, in the warm countries
where it fourishes, the fruit was scarcely
considered as fit to eat; in fact, it was al
lowed to go to waste or was fed to the hogs
and cattle The plant itself, however, was
considered valuable, but only for shade
purposes. 1t was planted between rows of
coffee trees on plantations simply to shade
the tender bushes. Its leaves, broad and
overhanging, served the purpose we'll, and
they grew SO rapidly that they saved the
labor of constructing other kinds of pro-
lection. The Mexican, West Indian, Gen.
trail American and South American will
adopt any method of procedure that saves
labor, and this was the easiest method that
could be invented.
Superstition Prevented It's Use.
1t was not that the fruit was not good to
eat that the Spaniards barred it from their
table, but because they saw in its heart a
fancied resemblance to the transverse Sec
tion of a cross and supposed the banana to
be forbidden, and that it was in i5 that

Over Two Million Dollars Worth Consumed
by Them Each Year.
The Barcelona and black Spanish nuts
come from the Peninsula in thousands of
bushels, says an English paper, the value
of the trade in this variety of nut amount
ing to more than $1,000, 900 year. From
theregion round the Black Sea 5000, 900 or
$3.50, 900 worth of hazel nuts are annually
imported; while from Leghorn, Naples
France, Spain and Portugal, chestnuts to
the amount of 10000 or 10000 bushels are
sent.
Para and Maranham dispatch to us about
1000 tons of the oily three-cornered Brazil
nuts; and it speaks eloquently for the vigor
of the English boy when we find in the Gus
tom House returns of an nnual entry of
10000 cocoa nuts, of which he is the
principal customer The foreign nut trade
is at first hand val lued at something like
50, OO0, 900, though, with the exception of
small portion which are of tropical origin,
nuts of quality quite as good can be grown
in this Country.
