DIR. TALMAGE'S SERMON.
sv THE REV. FRANK DE WITT TALmAeE. Q. R.
os ANGELES, CAL. November F.

OS ANGELES, CAL, November 12.-
 From the incident of the broken all L abaster box the preacher in this sermon draws lessons of the gratitude which men should feel for the self-saeri- fee of mothers, sisters and wives. The text is Mark xiv, S. "she hath done what she could"
 Some people are like the Dead sea sub merging the "cities of the plain They have no outlets. They would make all the streams of the surrounding hillsides tributaries to their reservoirs. They would gather into their depths the waters from the fountains beneath and from the showers overhead. But, though, they take in everything they can. they never have any outflowings. They would never give anything to anybody else unless they were compelled so to do Their hands are like steel traps. They keep the palms open only as long as they have nothing on them. But as soon as any thing touches their skin their open palms fly shut and every finger becomes wise and every muscle as rigid as band of steel. Their doctrine is, What is yours ought 10 be mine and what is mine is my own" Truly they hang on to every thing they can. Their appetites are om- nivorous But, like great stagnant pools, they become 4enchful through their im- mobility. Their love of other people is completely circumscribed by their love of self
 Selfish love has even more contempu- hle characteristic than q mere brutal love for self. As d rule, selfish men consider if a personal reflection on themselves if other people are not just as mean and selfish as they are When any one makes a sacrifice for another they give them selves to fault finding are always com plaining and always trying to depreeiate the good which that person has tried to do. If man like Andrew Carnegie en- dows a library they raise a protesting voice and cry, saying. What is the good of giving a pile of books 10 lot of work men who never read? Why does he not

A WOMAN OF VAPORS.

Mrs. Frank Leslie, in a recent af- ticle, says that, "the woman of va- DOTS is made, not born."
 In other words, she IS a product of civilization.
 And, in the civilized mode of life, she finds her worst enemy, since the resuft is weakness, caused by living contrary to natures simple rules
 "Is it any wonder," asks the Ia mous authoress, if woman is 'on- certain, coy and hard to please,' and should reconsider a thing two or three times, with baffling sud- denness and dianetrieally opposite conclusionss"
 No, 1t IS no wonder at all, when you come to think of the pain and suffering most women have to en- dure as a result of weakness Of de- engagement of their female organs. Such troubles, in such delicate part of a woman's anatomy, can- not fail to have a most deleterious effect on the entire system, with the result that she becomes peevish, irritable, nervous, unreasonable. The way to prevent and cure this state of health and mind, is tor you to treat yourself at home with Cardui, the great woman's tonic.

 That the present head of the Roman Catholic church. Pope Plus K, Is deter mined to regulate the affairs of his ex- tensive spiritual realm after ideas of his own has been indicated in numerous ways and in none perhaps more significantly than in the steps he took some time ago to make an end of certain business enter prises carried on by members of his world wide flock, where an undue and im- proper advantage had been taken of their church relations. His first important ac- tion in this line was a decree forbidding the distribution of masses for payment of newspaper subscriptions or for the sale of books or other goods.

Why She Did Not Marry.


 Do you see that sad faced young wo- man with the gray hairs just appearing amid her brown locks? Who is she? Miss So-and-so," you answer. Why did she not marry?" "Oh, I guess because she did not wish to marry" you answer. Oh, yes, she did want to marry. She does not want to marry now because her heart is broken. Many years ago young man met her and laid siege to her heart She gave to him the warm affections of her youth. You think she has sweet face now. Aye. she was beautiful then. Her cheeks were red as the roses. Her eyes were as blue as the sky. Her laugh was as the merry chimes of the village bells. The young man wanted the we'd ding set at once. Her father was taken sick He could not find employment This young girl said: No, I cannot marry now. l must stay home and help to keep the home for my parents and the children" He pleaded, but she firmly compressed her lips and said: Not now. Wait for me a few years and I am yours" He would not wait Within two years he stood al marriage altar, but not with her. Mrs. Grundy' talked for a few days about a broken engagement but she said nothing. No one saw her weep. She never complained-that is, as far as any one else has known. Whether she wept in her room at night behind the closed door we know not She broke her alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious. upon her fathers and mothers head. She sacrificed her own life for her parents lives.

lies to leave property to the propaganda or to the vicarate of Rome in order that masses be said for them, to be paid for out of the yearly interests of such be- quests. It seems that the editors of some Italian Roman Catholic newspapers took advantage of this custom to help their circulation by entering into agreements with their clerical subscribers by which the latter could obtain Roman Catholic publications in return for celebrating a certain number of masses allotted to them by the publishers and sending n duly certified account to the latter. These accounts were paid by the propaganda or the visita to the publishers or tradesmen presenting them. When he was patriarch of Venice the present pope did all he could to suppress this evil in his own di- ocese, and after he became pope he fol- lowed up the matter with commendable vigor throughout all Italy.

Though called Miss and looking little more than girl. she is a Mrs., and her husband who is advertis- ing manager of the show. travels with her. Miss Van Ostens business is to call upon the newspapers to induce them to print good notices concerning the show. and she has secured concessions that men could not. Miss Van Osten finds her life many-sded and far from prosaic, and de- clares she gets a world of happiness in the experiences of her Bohemian life liv- ing in an advertising car.

Mr.. HINDMAN REBUKED
Mrs. R. w. Highland Says Mothers
Should Abstain From the Use
of Strong Drink.

To The Newark Journal:
My husband takes The Journal
and / have just finished reading
Mr.. Hindman's article on temper
ance, and find he lays the blame
for the drunkard upon the poor
women's shoulders. Now isn't it II
shame that he would be so bold as
to step out in The Journal, in the
face of its many, many readers,
and declare that we, the women,
the weaker vessel, and who for
many years past have striven hard
with all our power to bring our
boys and girls up in the way they
should go, and now because we
have not made whiskey shops of
our stomachs we are to blame.
The writer believes that we moth
ers should live sober lives; be-
lieves we should live Il life worth
living; be high minded, refined,
pure at heart and ought to be
Christians, thereby teaching and
training our boys and girls that
there is a life worth living for
those who may strive for higher
lives, refinement. education, etc.
| don't believe we mothers
ought to indulge in such things as
whiskey drinking, or any low, de
grading, wicked or sinful act, if
we want our children to climb the
ladder of success in this world and
make boys and girls that we can
be proud of and that may be an
honor to us in days to come.
| wonder if Mr. Hindman be-
lieyes George Washington's moth
er drank whiskey by the gallon.
There are many other mothers
of famous men and of the great
men of our country whom we do
not believe INDUCED in whiskey
drinking, and yet their sons grew
to be great and partook not of the
evils of strong drink.
No, we believe quite differently
from Mr.. Hindman in those
things.
Mr.. Hindman says he hates to
blame the women for any thing,
but it doesn't seem that he hates
to jump right into the columns of
your paper and accuse them of be-
ing the canse of all the whiskey
drinking and the great evils there
of, just because the mothers do not
drink by the gallon.
We are very glad indeed that it
is not in his power to assess the
S25 fine he mentions, just because
the mothers do not favor the
liquor business.
And now we would be very glad
if Mr.. Hindman could find some
thing else to fill his communica-
tions and not cast stone at the
women, but leave their names out.
| hope Mr.. l. ltor that this will
be printed, as want to give him
a whack for being so bold.
The writer was very sorry to
read of the death of Mrs. Sarah
Scott, az | once knew her and
learned to love her very much.
