" Christian men who are maintaining their integrity, notwithstanding all the pressure of temptation in the norh- ing. when you open business in the proker's office or in the banking house, ask Gods blessing, and when you close IL proneunce benediction upon 1t. A kind of business that men cannot engage In without prayer is no busi- ness Tor you. I wsih that the words or George Peabody, uttered in the nearing of the. people of his native town-Danvers. Mass.-I wish that
 those words could be uttered in the nearing of all the young men through out the land. He said: Though providence has granted me unvaried and universal success in the pursuit or fortune in other lands I am still in heart the humble boy who left wonder unpretending dwelling. There is not youth within the sound of my voice Wnose early opportunities and ad- vantages are not very much greater then were my own, and I have since achieved nothing that is impossible to the most humble hoy among you." George Peabodys success inj business was not more remarkable than his in- ,esrity and his great hearted benevo- ienee. pray upon you Gods protect fr
 Ing and prcspering blessing. I hope you may all make fortunes for time and fortunes for eternity.
 some day when you come out If vour place of business and you go to the Clearing House or the place If custom or the bank or your own home as you come out of your place of business just look up at the clock in the tower and see by the movement of or the hands how your life is rapidly going away, and be reminded of the tact that before Gods throne of inex- crabie Judgment you must yet give ac- count for what you have done since the. day you sold the first yard of cloth or the first pound of sugar. I pray for you naliI prosperity Stand close by Christ. and Christ will stand close by you4 The greater the temptation the more magnicent the reward. But. alas tor. the stock gambler-what will he do in the judgment? That day will settle everything. That to the stock gambler will be break" at the first call" No smuggling into heaevn. No "collaterals' on which to trade your way in. Go in through Christ the Lord or you will forever stay out. God for bid that after you have done your last days work on earth and the hushed assembly stands around with bowed heads at your obseuuies-God firbid that the most appropriate text for your funeral oration should be: "As a part ridge sitteth on eggs and hatcheth them not. so te that getteth riches. and not by rig;.t. shall leave them in the midst of his days. and at the end he shall be fool" or that the most appropriate funeral psalm should be the words of the poet:
 Price of many a crime untold
 Gold. gold, gold. gold."

To Keep Out Mosquitoes.
New York Herald:

New York Herald:
 The usual summer problem of how best to keep the mosquitoes and flies out of your rooms and at the same time to admit ss much air as possible is now open for solution.
 As the best method of keeping out the mosquitoes IS. in the most caoes. the worst one for the free admission Of the air. discomfort from at least ore of these sources seems almost inevit- able.
 Probably the best method so far sug- gcsted is one which has been adopted extensively in Southern France.
 It is the result of lhe observations of a scientist. who ascertained that flies. mosquitoes and, in fact all winged in sects are afraid O enter an opening, even though 1t be several times their own size. as long as there is darkness beyond it.
 He soon put his discovery to a prac- tical purpose. Cover your open win dows with some chean netting, made of white or light colored thread, with meshes an inch or Elore in diameter, The comparatively large openings of the net will not make 1t any less eff fective. but, on the contrary, is the chief recommendation of the new method.
 While the meshes are large enough to admit several mosquitoes or fileJ with extended wings at the same time, 1t will be found that the flies will be excluded simply from their dread of venturinR across the threadwork.
 The beauty of this method is that the admission of air Is In no way in- peded. the wideness of the netting all lowing the air to enter almost as free ly as if the windows were unenclosed.
 The main objection to the present method of using a very close netting is that while 1t is undoubtedly as ef- fective. although from a different req son. in keeping out the mosquitoes and flies, 1t excludes a great deal of air at the same time.
 There is but one condition to the proper working of the suggested syS tem-the light must enter from tn side of the room only, for if you hay, windows on the opposite side also the that obstacle may be easily overcome by pulling down the shades of one set of windows, espec- ially as it is hardly ever desirable to have the sunshine and light come from both sides at once.
 The same system of netting may be applied to hammocks and is equally eff fective. In fact it is well known that fishermen ~rotect themselves from gnats in a similar manner, covering themselves with their casting nets, the meshes of which the gnats will not pass. The netting should be similar to a tennis net.

home of A. n. Platt, and lady
in Pomperaug's romantic valley.
By O'Clock the guests began to
put in an appearance and continued
till 10 o'clock to the number of 10 or
more, yet so large and well arranged is
the home that although filled with
guests and seats for 16 tables, that af-
ter the shutting and the life of the
idea of the game of whist started but
few knew of the late arrivals, till by
hands, sent the partners from room to
room, thus ever seeing and greeting
new faces. This with the idea Of the
game and the scores moving hither
and thither as they were called or saw
the lucky couple rising for the punch
and the onward march was the life
and the soul of the hours that swiftly
flew Thus for the eve as well as for
all this world the onward march
for true happiness and the name of
God in all things with pure heart.

CAT,ARR II

Catarrh has become such common
disease that a person entirely free from
his disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. It is customary to speak OF Catarrh
as nothing more serious than bad cold,
a simple Inflammation of the nose and
throat. It is, in fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease; If not at FIRST, 1t
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation is carried to all
parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they do
not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S.
does. 1t cleanses the blood of the poison
and eliminates from the system all catar-
rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly
and permanently the worst cases.
