Curling by Electricity.

The electric curling iron is very SIM
pie. The wires conduct the electricity
into the little stand into which the tongs
are thrust. The latter are made the
proper temperature by heat, which is
generated by the resistance of the wires
to the current. The stands are about
two inches high and are usually nickel
plated. although some of those manu-
factured'by firm in Berlin arc plated
with gold and have handsome handles.
In travelling the iron and stands occupy
only q very small space in satchel. At
tached to the stand is silk cord, which
may be adjusted to an incandescent wire
after screwing off the little globe. New

Eow Bold Lover Won the Day and Also
Won His Girl from Her Father.

Won His Gifi from Her lntncr.
He was mild young fellow, and, as
his sweetheart imagined. without much
force of character. as he kept putting
the "ask papa" day off indefinitely. So
the young woman prompted him to be
suro he was right and 80 ahead.
E you see. papa has q great deal Of
bluff and buster. but when you come
right down to it he is perfectly safe.
Only you must show him that you have
plenty of courage ge-real grit. That's what
he likes"
"All right Suppose you ask him to
step in now. / may as well get my hand

"And you won't let him put you OFF,

"Thcn I'll tell him you want to see
him."
There were two chances of escape for
the young man-one by way of the door,
the other by the window-but he did not
avail himself of either.
When the father strobe into the room
with his best knock k-down-and-drag- g-out

him.
"Well, well, what's all this about? i

The father felt his own head to SEQ if
he was going to have an apoplectic fit,
then answered grimly;
"All right; like your style. should

Why Fish should ns Cared For.

Migratory fish are hatched and partly
matured in fresh water. They feed and
grow in the sea, but they are never
caught there, so that their protection
and preservation should be in the hands
of those who are SO deeply interested in
making them salable commodity. Be-
sides all this there must be somo consid-
Grafton for the sportsman, who without
question spends in the neighborhood in
which he fishes 10 times as much money
as all the fish he catches, if sold, would
fetch.-Fishing Gazette.

The springs of her life go back
beyond the days when her Founder
existed in the flesh, she lived in the
Fathers promise to Adam. Her
sacrifice Of blood was upon the altar
of Abel hard by the gates Of Eden.
Enoch walked with Christ till he
wrapped him in the garment OF his
righteousness and carried him up
TO the Father. Noah built the ark
as type of his world-saving church
and saw God reconciled through
Jesus Christ in the lovely hues Of
the rainbow. Abraham received
his blessing as from the head of the
church, Jacob wrestled with Him
as the covenent angel, Moses wrote
of him as the fulfiller of the law,
and Israel in the desert walked in
the light of His countenance and
nourished their souls upon Him as
the bread that came down from
heaven As the son Of God He ap-
peared in the fry furnace for the
saving of His children. He closed
the mouths Of the lions ss shey dwelt
with Daniel in their den. He took
down the harps of Israel from the

THE CoNQCEROR or COSQUERORs.
Christ has promised to appear a
second time upon the earth for the
final deliyerance of His church, and
in triumph oyer all her foes. Yes,
this earth in whose unwilling breast
was thrust His cross of pain will be
clothed IN His redemption, will
resound with His final triumphs,
and be wreathed with the coronet Of
His glory as King of Kings and
Lord of Lords. When the old
clock Of time shall strike her last
hour, and the last line Of her his
tory Is written, and the mighty
angel stands with one foot upon
land and one on sea exclaiming,
Cline is, time was, but time shall
be no MORE" then shall Christ
appear in His glory, for the final
deliverance Of His chnrch, and to
judge her enemies upon this very
earth that they made to drink in
HIS blood as the victim of their
crimes. As He assembled in the

was both home and foreign mis-
sionary, no herald of His ever went
so far away from home as He to
preach His gospel. 1t is true he
went himself and taught others to
60 first to the household of Israel,
but His ministry shows that in more
than one instance the sorrows of the
Gentiies touched His heart as we'll as
those of the house of Jacob. AS the
gifts OF nature for our temporal
wants are universally dispersed so it
is in the realm Of Divine grace, and
we should never forget that it is only
the revelation Of the gospel that can
reveal to US the benevolence Of our
Fathers heart or bring US in love to
His bosom. Yes it is his desire to
bring back every revolted province
of His great empire. Like the AL
pine shepherds, let each one sound
from his summit "praise the Lord"
till heaven aud earth shall hear.
Although foreign missions mean
christian civilization yet it must not
be abandoned. Prayer is the means
by which the church of God be-
comes mighty tor the pulling Down
of the strongholds of sin. Sometimes
l fear that the church of the present
is putting work before prryer, and
reversing the motto Of Luther which
was cora ct labora." "Pray and
work"
THE CHURCH's FIRST VICTORY
Was won by prayer, and it was tine
harvest of three thousand souls, aud
the great Head Of the church for ltS
advancement Gin the davs Of His
flesh offered up prayers and suppli-
cations with strong crying and
tears" What best name would
Jesus like us to give to this newly
opened place Of worship to-day?
Has He not said, sis it not written
that my house shall be known by
all nations as "the House of
Prayer" Thus may it ever be
known and preserved through the
years as the place where the weary
heart lays down its burdens and the
sinners cry for mercy brings him the
consciousness that II is the birth
place OF his soul
THE SAFETY OF THE CHURCH.
Our Lord prefaced the history Of
all the bloody prosecutions of the
church with the prophesy that 'the
gates of hell should not prevail
against it, and the past has verified

nugget of gold is of no greater pur-
ity than that of its component par
ticles. Jesus took twelve not twenty
four men to train as apostles. and
it was not because He had not the
need of more.
SPIRITUAL LIFE FOR SPIRITUAL
WORK.
The church can not perform spir-
itual work with carnal life within
her heart. Spiritual life is not be-
gotten by joining the dead world to
the dead chugch, spiritual warmth
is not produced by piling one ice
berg upon another. There is ice in
the pulpit and ice in the pew Oh
for the baptism of fire to melt the
icy letters and send the springtime
life and warmth through all the
channels of the churches life. Let
the church not seek to be fashion,
able but guard well her inner spirit
ual life and seek self culture in the
development of christian character
of the individual. The college cam
not expect to become truly noted by
giving more attention to the num-
Der of her graduates than to their
qualifications. This can only be-
accomplished bv using such agen1
cies rs are divinely appointed and
approved, such us faithful and con-
science awakening preaching; fear
less moral surgery cutting Of
right arm sin, and plucking out of
right eye vice, BY iudlcious and
brave pastoral work, by system in
labor aud economy of time. BY
giving to every man his work and
to every woman her work, and to
every child its appointed labor,
teaching those who cannot be High
Priests to minister at the altar to
keep bright the sacred vessels and
the lights burning in the golden
candle sticks, all under the motive
power of that constrainlng love for
souls that would rather have the
record of having been the instru-
ment in saving one precious soul
than to be proclaimed the builder
of Heavens walls of Respondent
Jasper and glowing Sapphire. Oh
the imperishable JOY and honor of
having saved single soul.
THE DIVINE EMPLOYMENT.
The Divinely appointed mission
of the members of the church of
Christ is first to know their master
as Rabbl-to be His disciples to sit
at his feet and learn, then to be his
apostles sent to tell others that
which they have learned. Our Lord

sink? 1t is because Christ is within,
and here we have type Of the safety
OF the church though the gates of
the grave We're opened, and all
her enemies of the past with all
those of the present we're to COM
blne in one mighty attack she could
not he moved. Her founder from
the first claimed her supremacy over
every other organization because of
her Divine origin. Through all
her history we see her surviving
the continuous attacks of Judaism,
Gnosticism, Neo Platonism. Ro-
manism, English Deism, French
NaturaIism, German Rationalism,
contending with enemies from
within and without and verifying
the assertion "that she is the anvil
upon which all hammers are destin-
ed to be broken" But the deepest
wounds that she receives are those
that she receives by the sins and
crimes of her inconsistent represen-
.tatives.
At first she was assaulted for being
TOO young, then for being too old.
but an eternal youth is hers. All
the intellectual progress and activ-
lty OF the present can not set her
aside but only in the end serve to
prepare the way for her advance.
She is destined to survive, and not
be preserved by anything external,
such rs wealth or social influence,
for the waters Of her life and power
issue from the sanctuary, and are
destined as pictured in Ezeklal's
vision to fill the wolc earth. When
we read in the light of the history
of her conflicts, the parable of the
house builded upon the rock that
fell not when the rain and storm
beat around it, we are left to ex-
claim, con Christ thou art true
prophet" Time can cast no shadow
upon her "that looketh forth as the
morning, fair os the moon, clear as
the sun \and terrible as an army
with banners" There never was
an age when she was assailed as at
the present, but all her soldiers
have to do is "to put on the whole
armor of God" and render implicit
obedience to the captain of their
salvation and victory is assured.

1t is perfectly safe TO say that at this
time the population of the city of New
York is over 100000. The enumera-
ton as given by the municipal census
taken in October, 1890, was exactly ], no.
715.
The natural increase alone during the
past two years and eight months at the
ratio ordinarily maintained would carry
the enumeration at this time far beyond
1900, GOO, but in addition to that growth
the population has been increased by n
very largo immigration from foreign
countries.
Instead of giving the exact figures, we
prefer to say that more than 100000
immigrants have arrived here since the
municipal census was taken in 1890; that
less than one-half of them made report
that they were bound for places outside
of New York, and that more than half
of them reported their purpose to stay, in
this city. We can allow very large
proportion of them to go away from the
city after reaching it and yet leave here
far more than are necessary to run the
population beyond 100000.
The buildings erected here since Octo-
Der, 1890, are sufficient to furnish ac-
commodations for an addition to the
city's residents as great as that of our
estimate.-New York Sun.

An exchange enumeratcs the following
ways of determining whether death is
real or only apparent: II the finger of per-
son i'm whom the vital spark still fingers be
tightly bound with piece of string, the end
of the finger soon becomes red and then blu
ish, but il the individual be dead no such
effect will be produced by the application
of ligature. If during life a clean and
bright needle be thrust into the muscles of
the body, the steel rapidly rusts on being
withdrawn. After death no such oxida-
tion takes place, it is said. However, the
certainty of this latter test Is disputed One
of the most familiar methods of determin-
ing absences OF fife is that of producing q
blister by heat, as with the fame of can
die. If the skin beneath and around the
blister becomes red, the individual lives;
otherwise he Is dead.
