A GREAT MISTAKE.
Rebuke to Preachers Who Decide Inn
pOrtant Public Questions OR-Hand.
Central Christian Advocate

Some metropolitan preachers. as well as
ministers in remote regions of the Union,
are making blunders by Juggling into the
pulpit various financial, social and labor
problems, and attempting to solve them in
which are fundamental which battle ample
knowledge, wide research and the re-
sources Of the specialist, these preachers
discuss in what is deemed a popular
fashion, announcing decisions, opinions and
monetary doctrines with the air or
authorities. "Panics-Their Cause and
Cure" is one of the advertised topics Of
a New York preacher. Surely the man who
occupies the Sunday. morning or evening
hour in the pulpit with discussions of this
order; for the adequate discussion Of which
he cannot be deemed competent, since he is
not an expert; is not only making of him
self laughing-stock in the eyes of think
ing, well-informed men and women. but
also throwing away the greatest opportu-
nifty that can be afforded to human be-
ing-the privilege of uttering a message of
hope, warming, instruction and comfort to
the hungry souls about him.

power to-day, and. far beyond the dim
headlande of the country which gave her
birth. swept. with her towering shining
sails. over seas that seemed TO lure her to
victory: The day was fair and the wind
light. Thousands went out TO see the race
and they saw 1t. IL was not like the
dispirItitg fiasco of Thursday. and. while
1t was not such race as 1t is hoped to give
the British yacht before she returns it was
still race enough to get some sort of line on
the Valkyrie and enable intelligent yachts-
men to 40 out to see the rest of the races
That the boats are. on the whole. pretty
evenly matched was apparent to-day. The
Valkyrie Is fast. but. apparently, not quite
fast enough, for the Vi9ilant is
faster. Strange to- say. in the
hauled on the wind than she did In run
ming. lt has heretofore been supposed
that the English boat wOuld beat tho
American off the wind and be beaten by
her on the wind. and 1t has been argued
ont as sich." Bnt theories did not work
well in the race of to-day, though the re-
sult was all right.
Following is the official summary Of the
race:
Course-FifteeD miles. to windward.
Nalkyr1e - start. 11:2o:25; finish. 3:3S:23;
elapsed time, 4:13:23; corrected time, 4:11:35.
Nigilant - Start, 11:25:00; finish, 330:47;
elapsed time. 4:O3:47; corrected time, 4:0547.
Outer Mark - Vlgilant, 1:5O:5O; Valkyric,
1:5S:56.
Thus the Vigilant won by five minutes
and forty eight seconds on corrected and
official time It will be seen that the

A Famine I'm Sugar.

There has been regular famine in sugar
in this city during the last thirty days.
The Jones sugar warehouse generally at
this season of the year has in store from
three to five thousand barrels of sugar, but
for the past thirty days 1t has had practic-
ally none. On Thursday morning last the
twelve wholesale grccers hid on hand but
twenty barrels. At Q a.. m. eleven carloads
were placed the tracks in the Jones
warehouse yards, and at II a. m every bar
rel had been taken, and most of 1t shipped
by wholesale grocers. 1t is now almost
daily occurrence that one of the wholesale
grocers borrows sugars from one of his
neighbors to fill an imperative order, and
in many cases the retail grocer has to
wait day or two before he can get an or
der filled. The greatest scarcity is in gran
ulated sugars Eastern dealers will set
no time when they will fill orders for this
grade of sugars. In other grades they noti-
fy by telegraph just when they can fill or
ders. The scarcity of sugars has excited
some sharp competition between the fast
freight lines, which has resulted in some ex-
traordinarily quick time from the East to
Indianapolis having been made within the
last three weeks.

Business of the Florists.

But few persons are aware of what an
important industry that of the florists
has become in this city. In the city and
it's immediate suburbs there are now
twenty-five firms of florists, and all seem
TO be prosperous. Their harvest Is be-
tween the first frost and the first of June
While their profits. are largely from the
sales Of flowers for weddings, funerals
and parties, they reap a large revenue
from caring in their hot houses for plants
Of the persons who through the summer
have made indianapolis so famous for its
beautiful floral displays in the yards on
the more prominent streets Some idea of
the growth of this industry may be formed
from the fact that five years ago there
were but ten florists who made il a reg
ular business. 1t is stated that in city
of the Union are flowers sold as low by
the florists as In Indianapolis, and this
has tended to increase the demand. Sew
eraI of the florists are taking special pains
to raise choice flowers and plants which
are most in demand. It is claimed that
the chrysanthemum shows here have been
of great benefit in this direction.

New National Party.

ST. LOUIS, Got IA new national party

The NIentz PsaIter.

The first book with a printed date is the
famous Mentz Psalte:, printed on vellum
in 1457 by Peter Schoeffer. A second edi-
ton, also on vellum, and larger and even
more magnificent than the first, was issued
in 1859. On the whole, this is perhaps tee
most magnificent printed book that has
ever been produced. For the splendor and
size of its type and elaborate colored CAPT.
tai letters it remains quite unrivalet,.
Very few copies appear to have been
printed, and no other book would now
probably sell for so high price. A copy
in a recent catalogue of Mr.. Quaritch was
marked at $4,000. AS Mr. Duff tells us,
1.-THE most striking thing about the Psalter
is the wonderful capital letters, and how
thess were printed has always been vexed
question" These initials are large and are
deliberately decorated with most exquisite
ly designed floral ornaments, printed both
in red and blue. The perfect fit, or regis
ter, of the two colors makes it difficult to
understand how the colors could have been
applied at two separate printings, and yet
there are difficulties in the way of accept
ing any other theory as to what the process
was.-Saturday Review.

Preservation of Pictures.

The preservation of pictures has now be-
come in London, it would seem, as the re-
suit Of some very ingenious experiments, a
regular scientific proceeding, if the ac-
counts given are to be relied upon. 1t is
simply placing the surface of the picture,
be it of canvas or paper, in a vacuum, thus
protecting it from the usual atmospheric
action which is so deteriorating. In carry
ing out this plan the picture is inclosed in
a metal frame or vase, covering the back
and sides, and projecting from the sides
like an ordinary fame. In the edges of this
case plate Of glass is inserted, just as in
an ordinary frame, and Theoretically sealed
to the metal. The air is then withdrawn
from between the surface of the picture
and the glass, and thus the picture is in a
vacuum. Tt is asserted that the effect of
this plan is to completely protect pic
lures from the action of dampness, air,
gases and other causes that operate to de-
stroy paintings exposed or framed in the
ordinary way.--New York Sun.
