maimed and aged soldiers who tarried on
garrison duty get st as much of the spoils
of battle ag any of the 200 men that went to
the front. *“~As his part is that goeth down
to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth
by the stun.”
The impression is abroad that the Chris
tian rewards are for those who do conspieu-
ous service in distinguished places-—great
patriots, great preachers, great philanthro-
pists, Bat my text sets forth the ides that
there is just as much reward for a man that
stays at home and minds his own business,
and who, erippled and unable to go forth
and lead in great movementsand in the high
places of the earth, does his whole duty just
where he le. Garrison duty as important
and as remunerative as services at the front.
“As his part is that goeth down to the bat-
tle, 50 shail hig part be that tarrieth by the
stuff.”
The Earl of Kintore sald to me in an Eng-
lish railway, “Mr. Talmage, when you get
back to America I want you to preach a ser-
mon on the discharge of ordinary duty in
ordinary places, and then send mea copy of
it." Afterward an English clergyman, com-
ing to this land, brought from the Earl of
Kintore the same message, Alas, that be-
fore I got ready to do what he asked me to
do the good Earl of Kintore had departed
this life! But that man, surrounded by all
palatial surroundings, and in a
guished sphere, feit sympathetic with
those who had ordinary duties to per
form in ordinary places and in ordinary
ways. A great many people are dissonraged
of the howling tempest, “As his part is that
goeth down to the battle, so shall hie part
be that tarrieth by the stuff.”
A Christian woman was seen going along
the edge of a wood every evening, and the
neighbors in the country did not understand
now a mother with so many cares and anxie-
ties should waste so much time as to be idly
sauntering out evening by evening. It was
found out afterward that went there
to pray for her household, and while there
one evening she wrots that beautiful hymn,
famous in all ages for cheering Christian
hearts

There are women who say, “If I had as

there is a |

Ed has retired to his room, and i
family conference about him, The sisters |
say: “Father, I wish you would send |
Ed to college. If you will, we will work
harder than we ever did, and we will
make our old dresses do.” The mother
says: “Yes; I will get along without any
hired help. Although I am not as strong as
I used to be, I think I can get along without
any hired help.” The father says: ‘Well,
I think by husking corn nights [ ean got

from the plate, That family is put down on

may go to college. Time passes on. Com-
mencement day has come. Think not that
I mention an imaginary case. God knows
it happened. Commencement day has come,
and the professors walk in on the stage in
their long gowns, The interest of the oc
casion is passing on, and after awhile it
comes to a climax of interest as the
valedictorian is to be introduced.
Ed bas studied so hard and worked
#0 well that hs has had the hon

of applause sometimes breaking into vocifer-

baek in the galleries are his sisters {n their
plain hats and their faded shawls, and the
oid fashioned father and mother—dear me,
she has not had a new hat for six years; he
has not had a new coat for six years—and
they get up and look over on the platform,
and they laugh and they cry, and they sit
and they look pale, and then they are
very much flushed, Ed gets the garlands,
and the old fashioned up in the gallery

have made that scene possible, and in the

is high encouragement in this sub

DEATH IN COLDEN ROD,
A Wisconsin Veterinarian Decldes the
Flower Produces an Incarable Disease.
State Veterinarian Dr. C. F. Scott, of Wis.
consin, has discovered that under the shaggy
yellow blossoms of the golden rod flower
there lurks the germs of the most dangerous
disease to horses which has ever been dis-
covered, Like consumption it is incurable
and it affects the equine in mueh the same
way as that disease eats away the life of man.
o horses which eat the tempting plant
20 into a gradual decline, the blood is de
stroyed, the tissues waste away and they die
in from three weeks to three months. Thou-
sands of horses have perished in the pineries
of Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin from
this disease.
The State Veterinarians of these States
have for a long time tried in vain to discover
the cause of it. Dr, Scott sald: “I am satis.
fled this is where the trouble lies, There is
no eure for it, Nothing ean be done except
to destroy the leat and roots.”

A NEW MUSICAL INSTRUMENT.
An Invention that Is Intended to
Produce Blended Tones.
From South Dakota comes a descrip-
tion of a musical instrument, the like
of which we have never seen. It is of
the guitar or the banjo type, but it is
distinguished by the fact that it has
two connected sound-boards, from
which are obtained tones designed to
blend and afford music of an altogether
superior quality.
The body of this instrument has an
interior chamber, with the usugl tone
opening In the sound-board, and within
the body is a second auxiliary body,
similiar in contour, the two bodies being
connected front and rear by pins of
wood. An Interior bridge 18 used, algo,
