REV. DR TALMAGE The Eminent Brooklyn Divine's Sun-! day Sermon. Subject: “Palaces in India.” Text. “Who s'orn up violenes anlrob- bery in their palaces,” — Amos {ii., 10. In this day, when vist sums or mones are being given for the redemption of In | dia, I hope to increases the interest in that | great country and aut the same time draw | for all classes of cur people practical les | sons, and go I present this fifth sermon in | the round the world sertes, We step into the ancient eapital of India, the mere pro- | nunciation of its name sending a thrill through the body, mind and soul of alt | those who have ever read its stories of e¢plendor and disaster and prowess—Daslhi, | Before the first historiun Impressed his first word in clay, or out his first word on | marble, or wrote his first word on papyrus, Delhi stood in India, a contemporary of | Babylon and Nineveh, We know that Delhi | existed longer before Christ's time than we | live after His time. Delhi is built on the rains of seven cities, which ruins cover forty | miles, with wrecked temples, broken | fortresses, split tombs, tumble down palaces i and fhe debris of centuries. An archmologist | could profitably spend his life here talking ! with the past through its lips of venerable | masonry. i There are a hundred things here you ouxht to see in this city of Delhi, but three | things vou must see, The first thing I want- od to see was tho Cashmere gate, for that | was the point at which the most wonderful deed of daring which the world has ever | seen was done, That was the turning point | ol the mutiny of 1857, A lady at Delhi put | into my hand an oil painting of about eight- i eon inches square, a picture well executed, | but chiefly valuable for what it repre- | sented. It wus a scene from the time of | mutiny; two horses at mil run, har, nessed to a earriage in which were four persons, 8he said: ‘*‘Those persons on | the front side are my father and mother The young lady on the back seat hold- ing in her arms a baby of my oider sister, and the sel’. My mother, who is fever in tne next room, painted that years ago. The horses are in full run because we are flesing for our lives, My mother is driving, for the reason that father, standing up in the front of his earriage, had to defend us with his gun, as you there soe. He fought our way out and on for many n mile, shooting down the sepoys as we went. We bad somewhat suspected trouble and had become suspicious ol our servants, A prince had requested a private interview with my father, who was editor of the! Delhl Gazette. The prince proposad tol come veiled, so that no one might recog nize him, but my mother insisted on being present, and the interview did not take! placa. A large fish had been sent to our | family and four other families, the present an offering of thafiks forthe King's recovery | from a recent sickness. But we suspected | poison and did not eat tha fish, ‘One day all our servants came np and said they must go and see what was the matter. | We saw what was intended and knew that if the servants returned they would murder all Things grow e and worse until f flight shown you in the piet You horses were wild This was not only because of | 38, but the horses ¥ sepoys, and ropes wa. and the savage of rey ror.’ i i Y was my- | down with a } ie of us, this scene see, the 0&8 the ithe ont IPE TF a # shoul 21 BLED nge made recorded the hero. and approximate ns mn of this fam- ily of Wagentreibers whose flight I am mr tioning.

What fearial odds! Twelve hundred British troops un- covered by any military works, to take a city surrounded by firm and high masonry, on the top of which were 114 guns and fended by 40,000 foaming sepoys, A larger | percentage of troops fell hers than in | any great battle I happen to know of. The | Crimean percentage of the tailen was 17.48, | but the percentage of Delbi was 37.9. Yet | that city must be taken, and it can only be taken by such cournge as had never been ro. | oorded in all the annals of bloodshed, Every | charge of the British regiments ngainst the | walls and gates bad been beaten back. The | hyenas of Hindeoism and Mobammedantam howled over the walls, and the English | army could do nothing bat bury their own | dead. Bat at this gate stand and waeh | an exploit that makes the page of history | tremble with agitation, i Toiscity has ten gates, bat the most fam- ous is the one before which we now stand, and it is calind Cashmers gate . Write the | words in red ink because of the carnage, Write then: In letters of light for the flius. trious deeds, Write them in letters of blank for the bereft and the dead, Will the world ever forget that Cashmere gate? Lieuten- ants Balkeld and Home and Sergeants Bur. ess, Carmichael and Smith offered 10 take gs of powder to the foot of that gate ant set them on five, blowing open the gate, nls though they must die in doing it.

Let us see what is the approxi mately thermodynamio equivalent of the work he has made his interior do, assuming he takes five minutes to cat it. In melting the ice he will requiro eighteen units to reduce it to water. To raise it in temperature to that of his inside he will require seven more units, or a total of twenty-five British thermal units. Taking the mechanical equivalent ns 777 foot pounds, this will be equal to 19,425 foot pounds. If the boy weighs 100 pounds, he will have called upon his stomach to do as much heat work as would, with a ma- chine having unit efficiency, raise him 104 feet high, or a rate of heat ex- traction equal to nearly an eighth of a horse power.” ann IIIs The flesh under the nails looks ra because the nails are almost transpar- ont, and thus the color of the tissas beneath is visible, Cost of Iinuning Trains, Probably few travelers, even those who daily have occasion to use the rail ways, have any adequate idea of the cost of running trains. The cost may differ, nnd doubtless does differ greatly with the varying conditions, but the recently published figures of one of the extensive Western systems are {instruc tive. The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Rallway, operating 6,147 miles of road, has made public an analysis of expenses per revenue train mile run for the past two years, the total miles run being 31,750,418 In 1803, and 26, ROYAL BAKING PO 692,470 In 1804, ne NEN NL The items include repairs to locomo- : dh tives and cars, station service, train ser. vice, locomotive service, train and sta. tion supplies, fuel, oll and waste and miscellaneous expenses. The total ope. rating expenses were 906.40 per cents. per revenue train mile In 1803, and 02.67 cents in 1894. The revenue from passengers, per train mile run, only 91.51 certs in 1893, and cents in 1804, or less than cost. there was a profit on freight, the nue per mile run being £1.5701 in 1803, and $1.5834 In 1804, and out of this margin between receipts and expend! tures per mile has to come the return for the enormous investment in road rolling stock, structures and other prop- erty. Stated in a general way, it costs about a dollar a mile, actual operating expenses, to run a train, without lowing any return on cost of road or equipment. —Providence Journal, s—— ems cesses Put on your rubbery; it Is a hard job to put off pneumonia. oR snsssnssrnty Fret.
