In this discourse Or. Talmage shows
how it is possible to help others who
hre under the pressing load of fatigue
and care and responsibility. The text
Is Galatians vi, 2: Bear We one an
others burdens, and so fulfill the law
of Christ"
Every man for himself! If there be
room for only one more passengerin the
ufeboat. get in yourself. If there be
a burden to lift, you supervise while
others shoulder it. You be the digit
while others are the ciphers on the
right hand side-nothing in themselves,
but augmenting you. In opposition to
that theory of selfishness Paul ad-
vances in my text the gospel theory:
"Bear We one another's burdens, and so
fulfill the law of Christ"
Everybody has burdens. Sometimes
they come down upon the shoulders,
sometimes they come down upon the
head, sometimes they come down upon
the heart. Looking over any assem-
bly,, they all seem we'll and bright and
easy, but each one has burden to lift,
and some of them have more than they
can lift. Paul proposes to split up
these burdens into fragments. You
take part of mine and l must take part
OF yours, and each one will take part of
the others, and so we will fulfill the law
OF Christ.

THE QUAINT JAPANESE.
Peculiarities In Their Methods OF
Living and Eating.

Beauty, from a Japanese standpoint,
consists in a long, oval face, regular
features, almond shaped eyes, sloping
slightly upward, high, narrow fore
head and abundance of smooth, black
hair. Their movements are graceful,
although the style of their dress pre-
vents them walking with ease; their
feet and hands are delicately formed
and their manners unquestionabiy
charming.
They take little or no exercise, and
one wonders sometimes how the little
ladies employ their time-there seems
so little to be done in a Japanese
house. To begin with, there are no
regular meals. The shops near at
hand supply daily numberless little
dishes, which seem to be eaten at all
hours Of the day and night-a few
pecks at q time-With those impOsSi-
bic little chopsticks. Very little is
kept in the larder except some slices Of
daikon, fermented turnip, some rice
and sweet biscuits.
''The honorable live fish, is sold by
men who carry large water tubs from
house to house and cut off as much as
is required from the unfortunate fish
and replace the sadly mutilated but
still struggling remains back in the
tub.
Eggs are cheap and plentiful. Bread
is never used, SO there is no necessity
for an oven.
The great stand by is tea. A Japan
csc lady is seldom seen in her home
without the quaint little tea tray by
her side, and the inevitable pipe, con-
tanning one Whit of tobacco, which is
in constant equisition.-Cornhill Mag

Walking Correctly.

Many children are taught at home
and at school to walk on their toes.
This will do in sick room when one
has squeaking shoes. but it is not
natural or elegant. Put the heels
down lightly at frst}and the toes last;
this keeps the body erect. instead Of
bending the body forward. as a per-
son must who walks on his toes.
Walking should be more thoroughly
taught in our gymnastic schools. 1t
costs little to learn to walk correctly,
and it is we'll worth while to spend a
little. time to acquire the art.-New

WEIGHT of PaDer WranDing.

A gentleman of Baltimore who has
been a close student of household eco
nomics has made comparison of the
weight of paper to the weight of food
supplies purchased for a family and
in one days purchases found that the
paper ,wrappings amounted to about 10
per cent Of the total. In list ofSup-
plies costing about $1.4S, he found that
the paper according to weight and
which was weighed with the p1ovi-
sions, cost him 14M cents. This, he
claims, is altogether out Of just pro-
observation-disclosures Sun.

Invented in Prison.

While serving a ten years sentence
in an eastern penitentiary a colored
prisoner, who has just been discharged,
turned his mind to invention, with sue
Cessful results. Besides making him
self useful by inventing several me-
chanical devices that were put to use
in the employment department Of the
institution, this genius completed a
model for an automatic fire-escape that
promises to be a commercial success.
The escape is a clock-like arrangement,
so constructed that when one person
has aIighted on the ground the rope
winds up and is again ready for use.
A patent has been applied for.
Only Four Western Speakers.
If either Congressman Hopkins or
Colonel Henderson of Iowa is chosen
speaker Of the house of representatives
it will be the first time the office has
ever gone west Of Indiana. Of the
thirty-seven men who have been speak
er sixteen have been from Pennsylvania
or states east Of it, seventeen from
states south Of the Ohio and east of the
Mississippi rivers, and only four from
all the rest OF the country. Three were
from Indiana and one from Ohio.

Didn't Like the Taste.

"When Colonel Richard l. Dodge"
says the Kansas City Journal, was in
command of one of the southern Kan
sas forts many years ago, he was as
tonished one day to receive a delega-
ton of Indians who complained to
him Of the quality of the soap issued to
them by the government.
Thinking it would be impossible to
make soap too bad for an Indian.
Dodge investigated, with the result Of
finding that the tribe had been eating
their soap allowance and didn't like
the taste'

PRETTY CLEVER HORSE.

said Major Tom Williams, standing on
the edge of the sidewalk viewing q
small black pony. 'That horse has

continued, Watch him."
The major whistled a few times and
the little horse, which was nibbling
from a bale Of hay on the sidewalk,
raised his head and crossed the street.
He brought the cart to which he was
attached at a standstill just in front Of
the major.
"YOu see," said Major Williams,
that horse has an eye for distance. I
couldn't have driven him better than
that. That horse, too, is a natural

eat it. I never hitch him when I get

At this point a large, white dog
brushed against the major with a
friendly wag Of the tail.
"You never saw that dog kiss the
pony, did you? Well, watch him.
Major Williams climbed into his cart,
and, calling the dog, said, kiss him."
Without a moments hesitation the dog
ran to the head of the horse, and,
jumping several feet off the ground,
"kissed' the pony several times.-New

The black death, or bubonic plague
which reappeared in Hongkong in
1894. has since spread with alarming
rapidity and today makes its dread
presence felt in Madagascar, East At
rica. Manchuria, Mecca, and Turkes-
tan. It's devastations in India are said
to be far more serious than official
statements would lead us to believe.
Jnlian Ralph, in "Harper's Weekly, "
reports three hundred deaths daily
for Bombay and six for Calcutta as the
mortality claimed on account Of the
plague; but he asserts that these figures
have no value and that to spreak abroad
the real truth would be to generate
alarm over the whole world
Mr. Ralph believes that the black
death is liable at any day again to
darken Europe by its horrible shadow !;
or that it may even make its first ap-
pearance in America by one of those
sudden, cruel leaps that it made in
