Notable Sermons.

The pulpit at Westminster Abbey was
once occupied by preacher who was
not clergyman, and had never been
ordained. This was in'December, 1873,
when Dean Stanley invited Prof. Max
Mueller to preach on the religions of the
world. 1t was one of the most interest
ing sermons ever heard, and when
printed afterward brought in several
hundred pounds.
The worlds sermon record is held by
the late Mr.. Sturgeon. His sermons
have been published weekly for fifty
years past, and there are still enough
to last several years more. Over 1OO,.
10000 copies have been sold, and their
profits exceed those of any other half
dozen preachers.
For the most valuable single sermon
ever preached, it, is, however, not Mr.
Sturgeon, but Canon Fleming, who
holds the record. This discourse was
first heard from the pulpit Of Sandring
ham Church, on the sad occasion OF
the death Of the Duke of Clarence. II
was afterward published and its profits
have since amounted to total of Fl ,49S
1880. The money has been equally

migrant; there have been 2g,S34 to over
6l,0OO Japanese. In fifty years there
will be scarcely any Hawaiians left to
inhabit the Hawaiian Islands. The old
customs and habits of the Hawaiians are
dying out faster even than the race itself.
The Hawaiians do not work hard or
Systematically. In the old days, before
the advent of missionaries and traders,
all the Hawaiians lived comfortably with
out the need of working. thanks to the
natural resources always available. CIV
ilization brought to them the necessity
of working for living and seeing others
occupy the lands which once We're theirs.
japanese and Chinese and other alien
races have come into the land, and do
the better kinds of work, and the Ha-
waiian is left principally to fishing and
boating, though even here the Chinese
have intruded, and will soon drive out
the poor Hawaiians. M
1t is sad to watch the passing of any
race, and doubly so when the natives
are such fine, well made, generous and
good-natured souls. But the civilization
of the white man is not kind to any of
the colored races, and they go out one
by one. With the end of the Hawaiians
another picturesque race will have dis
appeared from this earth.

The court physician who has King
Edwards health in charge gave express
sion to Views full of good sense in re-
cent Interview. Summing up the rules
of correct living he said: ITO live long
do anything you like, but do nothing to
excess. The best rule Of life is modera-
tion." Moderation conserves the life
forces, intemperance disslpates them,
And temperance, be it remembered, is
much wider term than is contemplate
ed In abstinence from the excessive use
of intoxicating liquors. Many q tenn
perance advocate is Incorporate in
business, or in eating or in speech.
Many a man who does not drink to ex-
cess leads an unnatural life because of
the demands of business, or of society,
or Of ambition. Many woman who
abhors intoxicants strains every nerve
center to keep up appearances" But
this court physician was not giving
away any professional secrets. Any
physician who has made study of the
human system will freely agree as to
this recipe Of moderation. Habit is
stronger than advice and habit leads
most persons to live unnaturally. Ma
ture stands up under the strain so long
and then rebels. "They that are whole
need not a physician" but the average
man will not live a wholesome life.
Therefore the doctor.

Marshal Rolla Smith of Chelsea was
shot and killed by bank robbers. The
three lawbreakers escaped on a hand car.
About 1890 o'clock in the night Bert
Compt, n young business man of Chel-
sea, was returning from dance when
he was stopped by three masked men
who were trying to break into the bank
building. The robbers thought Compt
was the village marshal. They gagged,
bound and blindfoldcd him and tied him
to n pile of lumber under an elevator.
A few minutes later while returning to
complete their robbery at the bank the
desperadocs encountered Marshal Smith,
who suspected they were crooks and drew
his revolver. He was Instantly shot
through the head and died III a few hours.
The murderers rode on a hand car to a
place near Long Point and then walked
across country to Gladstone, where they
boarded Milwaukee freight train.

Such should be the title of these lines,
for whoever observes these interesting
insects finds it easy enough to foretell
exactly the kind of weather to be ex-
pected. at least, that is the opinion
of many raisers of bees.
Generally the bee stays at home when
rain is in the air. When the sky is SIM
ply dark and cloudy these busy workers
do not leave their dwelling all at once.
A few go out first, as though the queen
had sent out messengers to study the
state of the atmosphere. The greater
number remain on observation until
the clouds begin to dissipate, and 1t Is
only then that the battalons entire
rush out in search of nectar. AZ bee
never goes out IN fog, because 1t is
well aware that dampness and cold are
two fearsome, redoubtable enemies.
We do not mean, however, that the bee
is n meteorological in the absolute sense
of the word. Its cleveness consists in
never being taken unawares, for 1t pos
sesses untiring vigilance. Often one
may observe the sudden entrance OF
bees into the hive when dense cloud
hides the sun, and even though the rain
