SUNSHINE z.

Sun Of my soul, thou Saviour dear. is q
line that ought to be said or sung every hour
of the Christians life. Some good people are
the prey o. natuca.y ocsponoclt tempera-
ments. Such need double supply OF grace
and must pray for it. So must they whose
sensitive. The worries Of business or house
hold cares. the loss Of sleep or the
arrangement Of the bodily machinery. put
such Christian folk under Il cloud pretty
often. Today they sing like larks,. tomor-
row the barometer goes down and they are
in the dumps again. Such people should
look after their bodily health as a spiritual
duty. Moreover, they should keep their
Christian faith where it would not be ex-
posed to every enst wind or drenched to
death by every shower that falls. Keep. a
good supply of tonic Bible texts within
reach. and take them freely the next time
that an agus lit comes on.-Rev. T. L.Cuyler

RELIGION AND BUSINESS.

We have only to remember that the '!earth
Is the Lords and the fullness thereof, the
world and they that dwell therein" to see
that if man Is engaged In any sort OF occu-
patton which tends, in how humble q manner,
to replenish the earth and bring out its full
ness, to benefit,the world or any Of its inhabi-
tants. he Is engaged in the Lords service,
and may do and ought to do what he Is do
ing ".as unto the Lord" No matter what
kind OF service he is rendering, whether
he Is administering to bodily, or Intellectual,
or spiritual wants, whether he Is making
shoes or sermons - and 1t is far better work
for God to make a good shoe than a poor
sermon - pictures or pins, provided only he
Is doing some good in Gods world. he may
and oug ght to look upon his work as service
rendered to the great Ruler of the world and
King Of men. and therefore may do it not
only without interfering with, but in the full
dlment Of the claim God makes on the su-
preme devotion Of the heart and life.-Dr. j.
III. Gibson.

CHICAGO'S ROSY DREAMS.
The Great Influx Of Money Upon
Which She is Counting.

A dispatch says that Chicago is beginning
to realize in practical and substantial way
upon its investment in the Columbian Ex-
position. In the period embraced within the
last 100 days of the FAIR it is estimated that
sum ranging from s12O, 900, 600 to S15O, ,o0O,-
00C will be brought to Chicago and left
there.
The estimate is based On the assumption
that between July l and November 1-l2S
days-the average number OF visitors in Chi
caSo above normal will be from 100000 to
125,0O0, and that they will not spend less than
$40 day each while sojoinins there. On
that basis the amount spent daily will ag-
gregate S1,00O,000 to 1850. 900; for 1913
days, s123, 600, 900 to 5154, ,0OO, 900.
The city is already experiencing the relief
that follows the receipts of liberal sums OF
money from oil quarters. ALI theatres re-
port an immense business, Notwithstanding
the great show at Jackson Park. The busi-
ness streets are crowded with great, moving
armies of men, women and children, and the
great emporiumS of trade are doing the lary-
est business in their history.

POSTAL CARD CHANGES,

Postmaster-General Bissell Decides
|, to Make All Cards Of One Size
{ Fostmaster-General Gisseli has decided to
abandon the three sizes Of postal cards now
In use, and to substitute one size for single
and reply cards. The specifications which
have been sent to prospective bidders for the
contract Of furnishing the postal service with
cards for the next four years call for single
cards of the uniform size OF 319 by 5H inches:
This is what is known as the international
size, it being used generally by the countries
comprising the International Postal Union:
The double, or reply card, now in use will
be continued, with the size, when folded, re-
duced to that Of the international card. These
two cards will take the place OF the small, or
Iladies' card" the medium, and the large
card, and the large return card.

BEST ARM0R MADE.
Il IS Made in the United States, and

is Also the Cheapest.
A successful test of nickel steel armor
plates took place at Indian Head, near Wash
ington. Two plates we're tested. one nine
inch plate representing the side armor Tor
tine monitor Monadnock and seventeen
inch plate representing the armor to be used
for the barbettes on the new battleshlp lndi-
ana. The nine-inch plate was fired at with
IN eight-inch rifle, and while two OF the shots
penetrated it, it withstood tho test success
fully and was accepted.
In testing the seventeen-inch plate 4
twelve-inch rifle and Carpenters projectiles,
weighing $50 pounds each. were used. The
plate was placed 800 feet from the muzzle
Of the rife. For the first shot a charge
Of 300 pounds OF powder was used.
The projectile penetrated the plate
16 Clio inches. The second shot. hurled
with increased velocity, penetrated the
plate and three inches OF the heavy oaSen
backing behind it. The third shot, sent with
still increased velocity, passed clear through
the seventeen inches OF armor, thlrty-slz
inches OF heavy oaken timber behind and
bank Of earth four feet thick, and was lost.
No cracks were developed in the plate.
Even more satisfactory than the showing
made by the plates WAS that made BY the
projectiles. The eight-inch shells were OF
the Holzer conical pattern and the twelve
inch of the Carpenter conical pattern. All
four Of the shells that were recoveted az
peared wholly unchanged to the unprso
riced eye of the layman, and the gauge
showed that they were disturbed to such
q small degree that they might again be fired
with the attachment OF new strip OF riflnS.
Some idea of the force with which tho shells
struck the face of the plates may be gained
from tho feet that the energy Of The last snoi
fred was equivalent to the force necessaryto
move mass OF q, 600 tons through one tool
ei space. The cost of tha test was S23, ,OOo

TIE SANDWICH TABLE.

In Sweden most of our strelishesr
and 'sindigestibles" are served before
dinner and on what is known as ths
"sandwich table. This table is IN
variably visited before sitting down TO
the regular dinner. .s5,ss
On the center of the table is placed
the butter, nodded into flower basket,
bird, or into small butter balls. Two
or three kinds of bread are in bread
baskets, brittle cakes of rye bread and
sweet and white bread. A number Of
rehshes surround the butter dish--oa
great occasions as many as fifteen OF
twenty different kinds, such as tiny
meat balls, slices of smoked or sAlt
salmon, cold ham and roast lamb. The
ever present cheese is in covered glass
dish, with sharp cheese knife with
which thin slice is cut, and there arc
also sardines and herring. -" u,
Plenty OF forks are placed around q
heap of breakfast plates, and each per.
son helps himself to whatever hs
chooses, eating standing. aa ialu.a+
As hot dish, the Russian rarebit n
generally found on the sandwich table.
It is made by stirring together two
cups of sweet cream, two tablespoon
fuls of -four, one cup of melted butter
and one tablespoonful of sugar. To
this is added quarter of pound Of
grated cheese, one well-beaten white
of an egg;. these two Ingredients are
slowly stirred together; the others are
added, and then the mixture is poured
into small paper boxes, one for each
person, and baked slowly. When the
rarebit rises it is ready to be served.
On very grand occasions eight or
nine courses are served for dinner, be-
ginning with the inevitable sandwich
table. Louis Republic.

THE SINNERS HEART HARDENING.

On winter evening, says McCheyne, when
the frost is setting in with growing intensity,
and when the sun is now far past the meri-
dian. and gradually smking IN the western
SKY, there is Il double reason why tho ground
grows harder and moro impenettable to
the plough. On the one hand the frost OF
evening, with ever increasing intensity, is in
durating the stiffening clods On the other
hand, the genial rays, which alone can soften
them, arc every moment withdrawing and
losing their enliyening power. Take heed
that it be not 80 with you. AS long rs you
are unconverted you are under double pro-
cess of hardening. The frosts of an eternal
night are settling down upon your souls;
and the Sun of righteousness, is fastening to
set upon you forevermore. II, then, the
plough of grace cannot enter your ice-bound
heart to-day. what likelihood is there that it
will enter tomorrow?
