the essentials Of living be produced

The home loving instinct is not con-
fined to man. The hen will seek her
regular roost at night, as will many of
our birds. The eagle will seek the
same nest for twenty years if unmo-
Tested. Dogs and cats will travel by
instinct incredible distances to get
back to their old homes. A six-weeks-
old sucking pig will, we know, find its
way a distance of two miles to its
mother, while man will face poverty
and toll lifetime to wiring a misera-
BILE existence out of a sterile soil rath-
err than leave his old home. Thank
God for this love Of home, which in
spires the patriot, anchors restless feet
and, poor though it be, whether sitting
tenement In the crowded city, a sod
dugout on the prairie or log house In
the wild woods, still holds out an in
SEPARATION for good for every man.

1t is said that the American is dis
contented man on general principles,
always ready and often wanting to sell
his home or his farm or his business
and seek some new place. Rarely does
a business descend from father to son,
much less a grandson. Visit the place
where ones boyhood was spent thirty
years later, and there is left but little
trace Of old playmates, friends and
neighbors. In a way this restless spir-
it has been great developing agency
for the country, and now that even the
most remote and heretofore unknown
sections of the country have been ex-
plored, settled and tested we look for a
greater degree Of stability in the peo-
pie.

These lowlands which produce crop
be so drained at an expense of about
$40 per acre and are at once raised In

knight in cap-a-pie plate armor OF the
early sixteenth century, engraved rus

from the Chateau St Germans
It is valued at el0.0oO $50 .OO0l by the
authorities at Woolwich. and the custo-
dian of the rotunda says he believes the

Probably the exhibit which impresses
the public mind more than any other is
Napoleon Bonaparte's travelling oven, in
which the meals Of the great campaign

field before Wellington cooked Napol-

There are no burglars in Mexico. and
for very simple reason. The daytime

really is not worth his while to bother
with night raids or to take the risk Of
forcing an entrance into private houses.
says the New York Sun.
Thieving with the ratero is no mere
matter of getting living; ii is a profess
sion, and he knows in it only the JOY OF
being a good thief when he is skiIlful
and the sorrow of being bad one when
he is clumsy.
There is pleasing diversity in the

In a recent discussion at the Acad-
envy of Medicine, Paris. Lucas Cham
pionere said that every day more con-
firmation was forthcoming of the idea
that it was the abuse of meat diet
which was the principal cause Of appen-
dicitis. In those countries where the
natives eat very little meat. as in Brit
tany. appendicitis is very rare. In Eng

great deal of meat is eaten, appen-
dicitis is four times more common than
In Paris.

| teen centuries. That it Is important. august, and sublime Is perfectly true, but it is not novel. All that the most original of preachers can aspire to do is to shed,a little fresh light upon we'll known and well-worn truths. No doubt there have been times when the gospel
 came, to men as something new. It was so, of course, in apostolic days. IL has been so when an age of religious enthusiasm has succeeded an age of re- ligious indifference. It is told of Lotus XIV that one day he asked the poet Boileau what kind of a preacher was certain ecclesiastic whom all the Pari- sian world at the time was running after. Bolieu replied, Your majesty knows that everyone runs after a nov city. This is a preacher who breaches the gospel" But this is state of things happily rare; it occurs only now and then in the crises of the church For the most part men and women are not surprised by the novelty, but rath- CT wearied by the familiarity of the preachers message"
 To this the Chicago Inter- Ocean adds by way of amendment that his mes sage will not lack novelty:
 Provided, of course. the preacher feel to the bottom of his soul that his ministry is not merely a profession. but mission-a mission to deliver message to sinful men-a message which sinful men not to know. or. knowing, not to heed is their eternal destruction-a message which is and must be new to them because they are sinful-which has never been rightly delivered to them before, because they remain in their sins"
 Sermons must vary greatly at diff ferent times, observes the bishop. Whatever the popular taste was for merly as to the length of sermons
 Upon the whole the judgment of modern times is, not unreasonably, ad- verse to long sermons. Life is short; but many things in 1t, and sermons among them. are apt to be too long. Life is too busy. too, nowadays: I do not think any religious service should exceed an hour and a half, or any ser mon should exceed half an hour AS a rule, sermons gain point and power by compression"
 On this question of length the Con gregationalist quotes Dr. Gunsaulus of Chicago to the same effect. and says:
 Long disquisitions have gone never to return, and the rhetorical and inn aginative and speculative styles are passing, in the pulpit as on the plat form and before the courts. The preachers language may be touched with emotion. but not with grandilo- Quence. his allusions may reveal cul- ture. but would better be implicit than explicit, his message must be his own and conform to the facts of past his tory and present human experience.''

 Fortunately our people are gaining wisdom as the years roll along and ed ucation. by the press has mate them too wise to pay heed to the rawlings of pothouse politicians, who. it is to be torvently hoped, have been rel egated to the far rear for all time to come. The presidential candidates of the two great parties to- day are clean. high-Tinded and hon Orable gentlemen whose aim it is to serve their country faithfully, though their methods differ.

The Difficulty of Preaching.

Bishop Weldon of the church of Eng land contributes to the current Nine teenth Century a polished and enter taining essay on the Difficulty, of Preaching Sermons" One of the main difficulties with modern sermons, says he, is that
 ''The subject is practically the same: 1t may be treated in many ways and in many manners. but it is one. The old, old story beautiful and sacred as 1t Is in itself, lacks and can not but lack the special interest of novelty What. a preacher says, and must say, today, has been said by thousands of lips in thousandsaef ways during nine
