This season will strip the Maine ice
houses cleaner than for years. The
hot weather has resulted in sharp de-
mandl for ice and draft on the Maine
supply. The Knickerbockers have
seven crews at work and as one crew
can load 400 tons in day it does not
take long to exhaust house. Old ice
which has rested undisturbed for
years. is coming into play. The
Knickerbockers have been taking ice
from their Dresden houses, three or
four years old, and that going from the
Sagadahoc houses at Bowdoinham, has
been housed equally as long a time
The houses on the coast are also being
cleaned out. This emptying of the
houses means that they will all be
filled again next winter and plenty OF
employment on the ice fields.

And there Is neither CLINT of shield
Nor CLEAN of pennOned lance:
Nor does the wind toss :knightly plumes,
Nor silken tents unfold.
And yet in autumn 1t becomes
The Field of the Cloth of Gold.
For when the haze of summer days
Has melted from the skies,
And We. without reproof, may s2ze
Up into Heavens eyes,
A host their piumes and banners shake
In joust with breezes bold,
And goiden-rod's bright champions make
The Field of the Cloth of Gold.
The butterflies with blazoned wings
Are heralds for the fight.

The hast sales of ice from the houses
reported were at SIPS per ton. A Ken
nebec operator tells of an ice har-
vester on the river who last winter had
five acres of ice all scraped and ready
to be cut which could have been housed
at an expense of 10 or Is cents a ton,
but the man didn't think it would pay
and allowed the field to melt and run
away. Had he piled it up under cover
he would have realized handsomely.

Appeal TO Common Sense.

All who pride themselves in being gov
erned by good sense rather than by senti-
ment. influence or even example, ought
especially 10 be Christians. If ever any
appeal were made directly and forcibly TO
common sense. it is that of Christianity.
Leaving out OF account at prcsen: all
considerations Of gratitude or affection,
and taking merely the lower ground OF
expedicncv, has not the gospel Il right to
every ones serious attention. and 10 his ac-
ceptance? Itappcals to every man in his own
behalf 1t tells him that, whatever others
NAV do, he has himself 70 look after and
provide for. This is rs true III religion as
in business. and more true. Others indeed
NAV concern themselves and may he hell p
ful. But if ne does not make effort Tor hlm-
self to take advantage of the divine offers.
no other persons zeal can do the work III
his behalf The gospel reminds him OF this
and points ont 10 him the risk Of not
looking personally after his own inter-
ests. 1t deals with simple, plain. .undenlable
facts. from which there is no escape. He Is
here today. He may be gone next year,
next month, perhaps even tomorrow.
Whether he does or does not believe all
which he hears about future life, his good
sense tells him to live SO that if there be one,
he NAV be prepared for il in the best man.
ner The same sound sense insists tnat Who
ever lives the most pure. noble, unseilSh,
useful life here of course is best fitted for
whatever may be coming hereafter. And 1t
declares that this is just the life that Jesus
Christ did live and which his gospel IN
sists upon. The gospel does not tryto de-
ceive any one or to beGuile him. 1t does not
pretend that TO be Christian always IL easy,
and his observation teaches him better than
TO believe that. Nor does it hold out TO
him the prospect of immediate perfect
happiness. or OF any other kind of re-
ward. as bait. although it does assure
him that in the end ne will rejoice in be-
ing Christian. II treats him fairly and
frankly as man deserves TO be treated.
Ii tells him that he ought to be Christian.
Let him do his duty and let happiness take
care of itself. Ii tells him that he will have
a hard fight against evil as long as be lives.
but that it is more sensible TO accept TINS
fact and to make his fight manfuily,wit the
heavenly aid which he will have, than to
shrink from it or refuse TO consider it. In
word. in spirit in fact and il method the
gospel appeals TO common sense upon It's
own ground.

The Palace of Merclful Deeds.

In India they tell the story of the Golden
Palace Sultan Ahmed was great king.
He sent Iakoob. the most skitful OF his
builders, with large sum Of money TO erect
in the mountains of snow the most splendid
palace ever seen. Yakoob went to the place
and found great famine prevailing among
the people. Many were dying. Instead of
building the palace. he took the money,
and gave it to buy bread for the
starving people. At length Ahmed came TO
see his palace. and there was no palace
there He sent for GakoOD aud learned his
story, then grew very angry, and cast the
builder into chains. Tomorrow thou shalt
die" he said; "for thou hast robbed thy
king" But that night Ahmed had Won
derful dream. There came to him one In
shining garments. who said, Follow me.
Up they scared from earth till they came to
gate They entered. and 10. there
stood a palace of pure gold, more brilliant
than the SUM- what palace Is this? asked
Ahmed His guide answered, This is the
palace OF Merciful Deeds, built for thee by
Yakoob the Wise. Its glory shall en-
dure when all earth's things have
passed away" Then the king under
stood that Yaboob had done most wisely
with his money. 1t is only heather le-
gend. but its teaching is true. II We are
doing true work we need not concern our
selves about visible results. Though in self
denying life we build no palaces on earth,
we are piling far nobler walls beyond the
skies. The money we give in service and
sacrifice Of helpfulness may add nothing
to our bank account: but 1t Is laid up as
treasure in Heaven, where neither moth nor
rust doth corrupt and where thieves do not
break through nor steal.-J. r. Miller, D. D.,

deep water way from the Great Lakes to
the ocean is Major A. c. Bishop, OF 7l5
Third Ave-, Detroit, q civil engineer OF wide
experience and considerable prominence in
his profession. He was assistant engineer
on the Hudson River Railroad in 1870 and
has since conducted large engineering
operations. He has been located in Detroit
since 1851, and has large acquaintance
among the business men and citizens OF
this city.
Two years ago, for the first time, Major
Bishop was in the hospital. For two
months he had the best of medical atten-
dance, but when he was discharged he was
not like the Major Bishop Of old. When
asked regarding his health, he said: when
had my last spell of sickness and came
out of the hospital I was Il sorry sight. l
could not ga n my strength, and could not
walk over block for Sc ieral weeks.
