POWERS WEARY OF DELAY.
They VIII Not stand the Sultan's Pro-
crastinatiOn Much Longer.

CONSTANTINOPIxE, Dec. 4, via Sofia,
Bulgaria, Dec. 5.-The following statement
regarding the situation here was obtained
to-day from a high official: Although the
statement that the powers have presented
an ultimautm to the Sultan on the extra
guard ship question is incorrect, 1t is true
that there have been further representa-
tons by the ambassadors, which have re-
suited in fresh interchange OF views. and
there is strong feeling that the delays of
the Sultan will not be allowed to continue
much longer"
During the past twenty-four hours there
have been frequent Cabinet councils at the
palace. and several exchanges of commune
cations with the representatives of the
powers, but no decision seems to have been
arrived at by the Porte on the subject of
the firmans demanded by the powers for the
passage OF extra guard ships through the
Dardanelles. The dilatory policy of the
palace people is continued, apparently in
the hope that some hitch may occur which
may put an end to the accord of the pow
ers. The ambassadors do not attempt to
deny that the accord of Europe is liable to
be disturbed at any moment, and IL Is to
attain this end that the Turk is working as
siduously night and day with all the skill
and subtleness of Eastern diplomacy. Ir-

THE REAL MAN.
He Finds Expression for His Spiritual
Workings In Activity.

He Finds Expression for His Spiritual
Workings In Activity.
1t is idle to inquire too closely which
Is the real man, the good action, the
good thought which prompts the ac-
ton, or the lofty desire which inspires
the good thought. The man is in
all of these, perhaps part of him in
each. Or perhaps the truer way to put
it would be that the readiness" is in
each in turn. First in the longing
wish which inspires, next in the quick
thought which finds out how to act,
finally in the noble, considerate &C.
ton, which is the only thing the man
can do, since he has become capable of
nothing else.
We hear much talk to-day of ''con-
seriousness" and ''self-consciousness-"
But the thoroughly healthy man
should he be who uses both of his
natures without being conscious of
himself as apart from their use. When
we become conscious of part of our
body it is because that part is out OF
order or diseased.
If this is true of one part of man it
should be true of another. We walk
and granting our powers of locomotion
are in good order, we should be un-
conscious of using our legs. We think
and if our brains are in normal con-
ditiou, we do not at the same time con-
slider how we think. We aspire
toward truth or righteousness
and if we are conscious of standing
apart and admiring our longing toward
a purer life, we have certainly fallen
into very impure one.
So the healthy man, the real one,
should continually express his soul or
mind or body in some form of activity,
yet be always unconscious that he is
doing So And the man who so acts
and strives and longs in utter self-for-
getfulness furnishes perfect example.

A Sure and Safe Position,

If you never drink the first glass of
liquor, you will never become drunk
ard This is sure and safe position.
Against such there is no law"-6otal
abstinence from all Intoxicating drinks
the only position that is absolutely
safe. The army of drunkards is re-
cruited from the ranks of moderate
drinkers, and not from the ranks of
total abstainers. Where this principle
lives, intoXicants have no power. Total
abstinence r1claims the drunkard from
his folly and the moderate drinker
from his error. 1t appeals to the rea-
son; convinces the Judgment; over
comes prejudices; prompts to action;
and sets the spirit free. Practice it,
and you will never become drunk

They had treated all their cases in the insti-

In this respect the year had been memorable

been as good as could have been expected from

houses, or seven residents to each on
the average. London has increased in
this respect very rapidly, for at the
beginning of the present century the
number of houses was only 100000, lit

time. The population of London at
that time (1S00) was 100000. 1t is now

five fold, but the number of houses has
not increased in as large ratio. Paris

work of Alcoholic Beverages ForcIbly and
Tersely Set Forth.
Rev. DIR. Arthur T. Pierson is a man
OF positive views and strong conyic-
tions, and when he speaks he speaks
to the point as rule. In witness of
this we quote recent utterance of
Dr.. Pierson on the temperance Ques-
ton. Il believe" he says, that
strong drink is abhorred by God, and
the main curse of the earth on which
we live; that pauperism and crime,
and disease and insanity are ita
natural offspring; that it is an inven-
ton of the devil; that it is fostered by
the depravity of man; that it leads to
untold suffering, sorrow, want, and
woe; that it deposes the reason; that
IL brushes noble affections; that it
sears the conscience and perverts the
judgments that it leads to a quick
descent into drunkard's grave and a
drunkards hell. But when manhood
once comes under its power, it seldom
has any resurrection, or knows the
powers of better life; and that when
Jesus Christ come in glory, He will
judge and condemn the drink traffic
and the drink habit. l believe that
strong drink is the direct foe of the
influence of the spirit of God; that it is
fruitful source of contention and
strife in society, and even in the
Church of God that it promotes the
most grievous sins; and that the
drunkard shall never enter the king
dom of Heaven, but will be consigned
to everlasting death"

APPLE RUST.
Quality That Lends Beauty to the
Cider

Cider,
Who that has seen cider-press in
operation has not admired the deep,
rich. golden-brown or golden red color
that the juice of the apples assumes
as it gathers in the receptacles? This
characteristic hue OF cider is almost as
pleasing to the eye as the flavor of the
fresh, sweet juice is to the sense OF
taste. II reminds one of the colors of
the autumn landscapes amid which the
apples have ripened. But science says
that cider owes its beautiful color tc
the fact that it oxid ICES or rusts.
A French chemist has recently
shown that the apple contains an
oxidizing ferment, kind of diastose,
which produces the browuish or red.
dish color of cider. The manner in
which this substance produces oxida.
ton can readily be observed by any.
one who cuts an apple open and leaves
it exposed for short time to the air.
The cut surfaces gradually turn red IA
the oxygen of the air unites with the
juice, or in a word, the apple rusts.
This rusting of an apple may also be
brought about by simply bruising the
fruit without breaking the skin.
Everybody knows that apples that
have fallen violently to the ground
show red or rusty spots underneath
the bruised rind. In this case the
oxygen is derived from the air con.
tanned in the ducti or interstices
among the tissues of the frat, and il
becomes active through the breaking
of the cells that inclose the oxidizing
ferment.
lfan apple is cooked before its skin
Is broken its tissues do not oxidize
when exposed to the air. This is ex.
planned on the supposition that the
oxidizing properties of the ferment are
destroyed by heat
But let the apple rust if it likes; the
uncounted thousands who look upon it
as the king of fruits will never regard
their favorite the less fondly for that.
And who knows how much of its de-
liciousness in the mouth may be due to
the very element that causes it to
oxidize when left wasting in the air?--
