Calling q Spade q Spade.

Rev. Mark Guy Pearse tells the fol-
lowing story: A member Of the Church
once got drunk. He sought to go
back to God and get his peace re-
stored. He could not find the Savior,
so he tried again. His minister call
ed upon him. The minister said to
him !: "You pray again. They knclt
down together. 80 God thou know
est thy servant in a moment of un,
watchfulness was overtakcn by sin. -
"Nonscnsc p said the minister, "tell
the Lord you got drunk" " That was
another matter; he could not bring
that up. He began again 80 Lord
thou knowest thy servant in his weak
ness and frailty was overtakcn by a
bcsetment.'' At last the poor fellow
said go God ! have mercy on me; l
got drunk Then very speedily that
man was at peace with God again.

In certain fishes of the ocean depths
the Illuminating organs are very COM
plcx. Some of them have spots on
their sides which are regular bulls :
eye lanterns, each having a lens and
reflector of its own. These are so
connected with the nervous system of
the animal that they can be flashed or
turned off at will. Others of these
6nny. creatures carry luminous bulbs
at the ends of whiskcr-like flamcnts.
Such bulbs arc usually near the mouth,
so as to suggest the notion that they
arc employed as bait to attract prey.

A Sermon in q Circus Ten

Forepaugh's circus WAS in Chicago
last week. On Sunday morning there
was no performance, and MIR. Moody
hired the big tent for a gospel service.
A great multitude variously estimated
at from 10000 to $4,000 was present.
It was sight which one will not see
more than about once in lifetime.
Mr.. McNeill and Mr.. Moody each
preached a short sermon, and the
singing was lively and rapturous: We
do not believe there were 20 disinter-
ested people there. Attention was
eager and sustained. The words of
the preachers fell upon many ears
unaccustomcd to the gospal mes
sage. Some veteran circus people had
not heard a sermon for almost life
time.
Mr.. Moody's text was one upon
which he so often breaches "For the
Son of man is come to seek and to
save that which was lost. ~ After he
had finished, a little boy with hand
some face and form. was brought to
the platform by an officer, who said he
had found him wandering in the
crowd evidently lost. Mr.. Moody
took the little fellow in his arms and,
standing before the great throng, ask
ed the people to look at the lost child.
''This boy has a father who is no
doubt at this moment looking for him
with anxious heart" said the preach
er. "The father is more anxious to
find his boy than the boy is to be
found. 1t is just so with our Hea-
venly Father. He is seeking US to-
day, seeking US with unspeakable So
licitude. For long years he has been
following you, oh, sinner He is fol-
lowing you still. He is calling you
to-day" At this instant man with
blanched face and excited eye was
seen elbowing his way toward the
platform. AS he reached it the little
boy saw him and running quickly over
the platform, threw himself into the
fathers outstretched arms. The null
titude witnessed the scene with
breathless attention, and then broke
into mighty cheer. "Thus," cried
Mr.. Moody, "will God receive you if
you run to Him to-day. The Son Of
man is come to seek and to save that
which was lost. (" The impression
made By the incident was very great,
and as the people filed out many eyes
were filled with tears. God providen-
TALLY gave to the preacher most
vivid and effective object lesson with
which to illustrate and enforce his
message.

- The Russian crown and other
state jewels arc valued at the enor-
nous sum of s11, 100000, taking Uni
ted States money as basis Of calcu-
lation; the crown itself is reckoned
as being worth at least s6, 900, 600. 1t
is adorned with hundreds Of diamonds,
individual specimens of which are
valued at all the way from few dol
lars up to enormous sparklers worth
thousa IDS upon thousands Of dollars.
Besides the diamonds, which make
this costly head dress look as if it had
been buried in a shower Of falling
stars, there are "a pearls, each with
out flaw, set around the rim, a ruby
of extraordinary size and brilliancy
being used as "a centerpiece. The
crown was made by Panzie, the old
time Genoese court jeweler, and was
first used by Catherine the Great.

- Systematic efforts have been made
in different parts Of the world to intro
duce growth of trees where they had
never been known, from which impor-
tant results have followed in many in
stances. Egypt, which had formerly
about six rainy days during the year,
has, since having planted trees on an ex-
tensive scale, already attained about i've
times that number. Sixteen square
miles of the swampy, unhealthy country
along the Bay of Biscay was planted with
thousands of trees, especially the cork,
oak and swamp pine. The trees have
drained the land so as to destroy the
swamp fevers, and to change it into a
healthy country with fine forests. Bis
cay law requires that for every tree cut
down two shall be planted.
= The Cincinnati tTimes-Star announ--
ces that chemist of that city succeeded
in making fluid which has all the prop
critics of ordinary cows milk, and is
equal to the best for all purposes. 1t IS
com bination of water, solids and fats, and
is absolutely the same as, and indistin-
guishable, from pure milk, and has the
advantage of being absolutely free from
the diseases and impurities that are often
found in milk. This chemical milk will
raise cream, will sour, turn to curd and
water, and butter and cheese can be
made from it the same time as from COW
milk. At present the cost of production
is more than 81 a gallon, but the chemist
believes with few more experiments he
can reduce the price to 10 or 10 cents gal
ton and by making it in wholesale quanti-
ties can retail 1t at the usual cents quart.
This story was probably invented for
the purpose of entertaining the marines.

- Horse runaways are unknown in

without having thin cord with

- Information reached the city yeste-
day OF a terrible catastrophe three or
four miles from Gadsden, whereby two
colored children were burned to death.
1t is the same old story of negroes going
of to work and locking their children in
the house, and returning to find the house
and children both burned. In this case
Joel Adams locked two Of his children up
and went to work. When lie returned
he found that the house had been des-
troyei and his two children had met
horrible death. The trial justice held
an inquest and verdict in accord
ance with the facts was rendered.-State,

1t is said that recent experiments
made with the new rifles in Germany
make it reasonably apparent that the
next war will be simply one of extermi-
nation. A prominent French writer in
recent article says that the battlefield
would ut the termination Of the engage
ment be covered with two or three hun.
dred thousand corpses, all crushed and
broken, and would be nothing but vast
charnel house. No one would be left to
bury the dead, and pestilence would in
it's turn sweep away the country people.
Pointing the moral, lie adds that the man
emperor, king or president of repub,,
lic-who, under these conditions, would
expose the human race to such fate
would be the greatest criminal that the
world had ever seen. 1t is tolerably
plain that the horrors and butchery which
q war would entail are becoming more
and more recognized, ard that the terri
BILE vista thus opened out is exercising a
SOLDERING effect on those who were for
merly wont to discuss eventualitles with
a light heart.

A Legend Of Solomon.

There is a Turkish legend to the
following effect: When Solomon was
ruling on earth, the angel Gabriel was
sent to him one day with goblet fill
cd with the water Of life and bearing
from on high the message that if he
chose he might drink Of the water and
become immortal. Calling together
all his wise counsellors, he asked their
advice. They, with one consent, ad-
vised him to drink and live forever.
Then he summoned the birds and
beasts of the field, and all of them
gave the same advice, with one soli-
tary exception. This was the hedge
hog. Approaching the kings throne,
and bending its brow to the ground
thus did it speak: eff this water may
be shared by thee with thy kith and
kin, then drink and enjoy the bliss of
living. But if it is intended for thee
alone, then do not drink. For sad
would it be for thee to live on but to
see thy kinsmen and friends one after
the other disappear" ';True arc thy
words, 0 hedgehog, replied the king.
"To me alone has the water been
sent. As thou hast counselcd, so
will decide" Thus spoke Solo,
mon and the water of life did he not
drink.

A. r. u. BOYS Entertained.

Our citizens gathered at The Morris
last Friday evening for the purpose
Of giving the railroad boys who had
won the victory in the recent trouble
with the Great Northern Company, a
banquet and to show their apprecia-
ton Of the way in which the matter
was settled. About one hundred and
fifty were present. An elegant sup
per was served, after which large
number Of our citizens spoke of the
recent strike, expressed their admira-
ton Of the persistence of the boys in
sticking to their order even when the
outlook was not very bright for them.
Messrs. Campbell and Garrett re-
sponded in behalf of the A. r. o.,
and spoke very feelingly of the way
our citizens had supported and as
sisted them. Altogether it was most
enjoyable affair and one long to be
remembered by those in attendance.

Seeding in this vicinity is pretty
we'll along, and the wheat crop is
high above ground and looking ex-

dried and the next time Brother

time. He paid us very nice com
phment in his able journal and pre-
dicted for Chokio a most glorious
future. Come back again, Mr.. Edit
or, and we shall send the band with
you as far as the union depot. AS
we have incidently mentioned this
edifce, description of it may not be
out of place. It is about the size Of a
box car. beautifully lighted with win
doWs of natures own making, and
resting upon four poles that are about
as perpendicular as the as the cele-
brated tower of Pisa. 1t was an in
suit to the people of this neighbor-
hood, when such miserable "shack"
was moved here, as an apology for a
depot, and an accommodation for the
patrons of this branch Of the Great
Northern. There is business enough
done at this point to warrant more
courteous recognition, and the COM
pany would be granting nothing but
what is justly due us, by giving US a
new depot this summer with an oper-
alter in charge.

getting Pauls advice. to Timothy,
to take little wine for their stom-
aeh's sake, and they will return, no
doubt, with such rich religious ex-
perienoe, that, though the miracle of
the Loaves and Fishes will be more
incomprehensible than ever, yet it
will be more readily accepted and
more firmly believed.
