The New He'll.

Under the title, The New He'll" the
Examiner (Baptist) makes these remarks:
The punishment of the persistently I'M
p%enitent is, so far as our own observation
goes, seldom spoken of in the preaching OF
to-day. Nor should we desire a restora'
ton of the old way of presenting the doc
trine of future retribution. 1t was not IN
harmony with the spirit Of the gospel, az
we understand it. But, since the teaching
of the New Testament leaves US in no
doubt, unless we juggle with words of most
solemn and awful import, that there Is pun
lshment in store for those who die in their
sins, and that it is as long in duration as
the happiness of the saved, the preacher
fails in presenting the whole counsel Ct
God" who neglects to warn sinners OF the
coming wrath. The messenger of God has
no function to perform but to present the
message as he receives it. 1t is not for him
to limit or ignore it. Speculation as to the
number Likely to be lost, as to the nature
of the punishment, as to the location OF
hell, and so on, is out of place, as Is the
sentimental holding out of a hope which
the word of God does not authorize: DR.,
Fairbanks saying, that 1.-THE love Of God
forbids endless punishment" must be set
over against the saying of Christ, And
these shall 60 away into everlasting pun
ishment, but he righteous into everlast'
ing life" 1t is not for US to determine
what God will do in any case. Our duty
is to proclaim what He tell US in His
word, and there it ends.

Modelling Clay Animals.

In natural history museums clay
models Of animals ever which the skins
are stretched and made TO appear en-
tirely licelike are coming into use. This
radical departure from taxerdermy
threatens to render thai art extinct, as
the carefully modelled figure made by a
sculptor and placed in 4 lifelike pose
is deemed far more desirable than a
mere stuffed a1-imal as a natural his
tory exhibit.

Pierre Lofts Kitten.

OF the shores of the Bosphurus NJ.
Pierre Lott, novelist and academiciali,
has had baptized, with mock pomp and
ceremony, his ships kitten. The affair
took place on December s on board the
French guardship Vantour, which the
novelist commands as Captain Viaud.
In honor Of the event. the ship was
bright with bunting. Flowers covered
guns and gun rooms. The captains
quarters were gayly ornamented, and
a crowd Of guests was on board, among
them being the commanders of the
English and Russian gu~ardships, the
French Consult General, the Russian
naval attacte, NJ. CoQuelin, the actor,
and ladies. The cats sponsors were
Nine. Roux, wife of the commander
of the Mouette, and the Eicomte de
Salignac-Fcnelon. Aft Of the ship was
erected an altar to the great Scandina-
Wan deity Odin. The ceremony was
opened by a burlesque symphony OF
Romberg, executed anyhow by Pierre
Lott and his officers, an embassy
attache acting as conductor. The
newly-born kitten was in a dainty
basket we'll wrapped up in warm wad-
ding. The grand priest of Odin. al
robed in white. handed Nine. Roux a
mysterious horn, at the sound whereof
the head Of the kitten emerged from
the basket. Then the trio from ReyeT's
opera "Sigurd" was heard, and. after
an invocation addressed to Odin. the
grand priest baptized the kitten Eel
kis," which. being interpreted. means
pretty girl" A short poem was next
recited. and then NJ. Lott entertained
his guests at lunch on board the VAN
tour.-London Daily Telegraph.

Wiemer's House! Now amt it grand
Nothing finer in the land.
When the folks come up this way, dow
from Flint and Halliday,
And We santer up and down SEEM sight
around the town,
They don't seem to have no use for til
stores or calaboose;
All they really seem to see Is. Wiemefj
pile of masonry.
Fine? Now I should calculate, grad
enough for p~otentate,
Built of stone from land knows where, COY
ers more than half a square;
Marble steps and rods of stoop, fand
fxin's lace and loop,
From the cellar to the top-makes a straH
ger stand and COP,
Walks %a-runnin' through the grass, iod
and hons made of brass;
And inside, I've heard it told, is a sigh
just to behold
Like a palace, go l guess just one doggoneI
loneliness.
Pictures big as double doors, costly carpca
on the floors;
Marble wimmen, iron kids, strange thing
from the Pyramids;
Z Irtings wuth a house and lot, even nor|
it's likely's not;
Crockery things from ferren parts, reprd
sentin' ancient arts.
amt there hain't been to sell;
Makes things look like thirty cents, conf

What is that you plainly see? That !
Wiemer's Brewery.
Here IS where he coins his gold, piles h}
riches up untold.
This is Wiemer's private mint-just I'd
same to all intent.
Wiemer's House, SO fair to see, is but J
shaft to misery.
Every stone within its walls silently I'D
justice calls; "a
Could they cry aloud like men they wonl|
tell what tongue nor pen
Could not utter, for the tale would mall
stoutest heart to fail;
Widows cries would rend the air, shrek
of suffering and despair;
Broken hearts would moan in grief, pray
ing Tor deaths sweet relief;
Starving children, cold, unfed, begging I'd
a crust OF bread
Might be heard-God spare the sight-cri
ing in the lonely night!
Prayers of mothers might be heard sobbin
: out each broken word.
Then would sound the murderer's yell eon0
ing as from deepest hell,
And the clank of felon's chains curdliI'
blood within the veins
Might resound through hall and room lg
the awful cry Of doom.
Wiemer's House! Now some may Laugh
but l see an epitaph
On every stone within it's walls. IT'S bt
a tomb-its princely halls
Built at a cost beyond all price-a molosI
fat with sacrifice.
Its walls are red with human blood, d
dyed, so stained, no earthly food
Can wash them clear. 0 house OF Deat9

How slowly creeps the time apace when 9!

And Gods good world shall henceforth q

Blue Light Anasthetic.

A dispatch to the London (Eng.) Daily
Mail from Geneva says that Professor Re
dard and Professor Emery have discovered
a new anasthetic for use in dentistry. Ex-
periments to learn the effects of colored
lights upon the nerves revealed that blue
light Is extraordinarily soothing; A pa.
tent was put in a dark room and his eyes
were exposed to a sixteen candle blue light
for three minutes. This caused him to lose
the sense of pain, and the tooth was then
painlessly extracted without the after ef.
fects Of ether or chloroform.
