Faces I'm the Water.

The Rev. Edward b. Coe, DID,. pastor
OF the Forty-eighth Street Reformed
church, New York, preached yesterday
forenoon at the Union Congregational
church. The text was taken from
Proverbs xvii. 10, "As in water face
answereth TO face, so the heart of man
to man."
In part the Rev. DR.. Coe spoke as fol-
lows: IL is matter of familiar
observance that we never meet
two faces which are exactly alike. Faces
are all formed after the same general
model and have the same distinguishing
features. There are types Of faces which
belong TO separate races and there are
diversities of individual faces without
number. Among men there is even
greater diversity of character than as in
the manners and habits of the different
races. But the men of to-day are not
the same as those who lived 1000 years
ago.
Human nature is always and every
where the same. Heart answers to
heart and life TO life all over the world
and all through history. Men differ in
certain ways but they are alike in many
respects. They are alike in their nat
ural affection although the degree and
way it is exhibited may differ. There is
wonderful depth and power of this
affection which may been in all sorts of
men.
In every man there is desire for hap
piness. AS to what their happiness may
consist of they differ vastly, but the desire
is in every human being. Ii has been so
in the past and must continue 10 be so
in the future. The desire for happiness
is an universal trait of character.
Men are alike in that they have all ex
perienced sorrow. Wherever you find
human heart, however old or young, you
find il has been bowed at some time
with sorrow. The language of sobs and
tears is the universal language of man.
Well has Mrs. Browning said "The
fool hath said there is no God but none
that there is no sorrow"
All men have an idea Of an unknown
world and the human heart is under its
spell. The religions which men have
invented for themselves have thoughts
and fancies Of the unknown world. The

THE HUNGER CURE.

In Siberia the hunger cure used to
be a very popular punishment, butnow
when they have a political prisoner
who refuses to disclose secrets, they
simply keep him on q diet of sailed
herring, with nothing to drink. This
generally brings confession when moth
ing else will. The tortures OF the poor
victim suffering from water under
these circumstances, can better be
imagined than described. Something
akin to this is the agony undergone
by the friends of consumptive who
sees the dear form wasting away inch
By inch upheld by hope. each day
drawing neare the fatal circle Of the
grave. but each day thinking that
there is an improvement over the
previous condition. The time to fight
consumption is when the malady first
makes it's appearance in form of a
cold then it can easily be warded OFT
by ticking Reds German Cough and
Kidney Cure, q remedy that cures all
maladies that arise from cold by
stimulating the system, by melting
the kidneys to action and by receiving
the congestion of the lungs. Get this
great remedy of any dealer, and do
not be persuaded into allowing him
to give you something which he says
is just as good, for there is nothing
chat equals this great remedy. It
contains neither opiatenor narcotic
but is mild, gentle, pleasant and will
certainly ire you. Get it OF any

NOT BIELA'S COMET.
A Dclusion Dispelled.

Albany, N. V, Nov. DETERMINATIONS al
the Dudley observatory by Prof. Lewis Boss
indicate clearly that the Holmes comet is
not identical with the come OF Biela. anu
that 1t will not come near the earth. A
week ago the comet had almost exactly the
position which Biela's comet would have
had il it had been coming on its accustomed
track. The Holmes comet also appeared to
be moving across the face of the sky in
nearly the same direction that Biela's comet
would have moved had it returned to view
at this time. But with the lapse OF time
through exact calculations the motion OF the
Holmes comet appears to be inconsistent
with the idea that ii Is identical with Bic
las. Prof. Boss states that on account OF
the very slow apparent motion OF the comet
1t is. impossible to obtain very exact math-
ematfcll results from the observations thus
Tar made. Tho slightest deviation in the
accuracy of the observation changes the po-
sition OF the comet in space by enormous
intervals. Weeks must elapse before thor
oughly reliable results can be obtained.
lrof. Boss has computed the orbit OF the
Holmes comet first on the supposition that
1t moves In n parabclic path and secondly
on the assumption that its orbit is elIipti-
cal. On the first superstition the distance
OF Inc comet comes out greater than one
hrIdred millions Of miles; on the second,
the distance appears to be about one hun
dred and fifty millions. While these tig Tres
are liable to be very greatly modified here
after, there appears to be every probability
mat this comet is very. far beyond the
orbit OF the comet Of Biela. 1t also ap-
pears almost certain that the distance Of
the Holmes comet from the earth is IN
c%rcasing rather than diminishing. Why 1t
was not discovered weeks o. months ago
Is a. mystery, for it. should have been
brighter in October than 1t is now. The
ascertaincd facts in regard to this comet
WI VII cause a collapse Of public interest II
continue to be Of great interest since it
presents problems Of much interest both
nom the mathematical and physical point
of view.

The Meanest Man on Record.

Inc man on H0COf0
There is q business man over at La.
grange who is meaner than the man
who crossed his bees with lightning
bugs so they would work at night.
The Indiana man is a merchant, and
while driving from Rome City homehe
lost a wallet containing $4,000. A
lightning rod agent from Kalamazoo,
Mich, CHANGED along and found the
money. The Michigander proceeded
on his way, andit was three months
before he heard of the owners, al
though he made diligent search for
him. When the Lagrange man got
possession of his lost treasure he said
nothing, but went straightway and be-
gan suit in the Circuit Court against
the lightning rod agent for interest on
the money at the rate of 8 per cent,
setting up in his complaint that the
use of it was worth that amount.

There Are No Historical, Novels:
There are no historical novels, and

Flaubert, who was a greater artist

Shakespeare was able to write his.
