SICKLY PRINCES. The Heir to Every European Throne is More or Less Diseased, 1t is a subject of considerable concern to people in Europe that a number of the heirs-presumptive to the thrones of the old world should, just at the present moment, be in such a condition of ‘health as to give rise to the most seri- ous anxiety. The Osarovitch is in the last stages of consumption and is not expected to leave Qopenhagen, where he now is, alive. Archduke Francis Ferdinand, of Aus- trig, Is in a very critical state with dis- pase of the lungs, so much so that he has been given unlimited leave of absence from the army and is under medical treatment in a remote health resort in the Tyrol. The young crown prince of Italy is also ailing to such i degree as to more than ever convince people thut he will notlive to suceeed to his father's throne, The heir to the grand duke of Baden is consumptive and has long been mar- ried to a childless wife, without the slightest prospect of an heir. FPrince Albert of Flanders, unlike colder brother, the lamented Prince Baldwin, who perished in such a mysterious man. ner, is extremely delicate, and so, 100, is the little crown prince of Germany, whose health is a matter of grave anxiety to his parents. In fact his sec- ond brother, Prince Eitel, his superior in stature, weight, cleverness and gen- eral health, is almost universally re garded as the real heir to the throne. Noone would dream of describing the Prince of Wales as a healthy while his son, the Duke of York, has never entirely recovered from the ef- fects of the typhoid fever with which he was laid low just about the time of the death of his elder brother. In one word, one mar look all Europe without finding # single heir to a throne in whose health and physique his future subjects can place confidence. his man, over Easily Proved It.

DR. TALMAGR The Eminent Washington Divine's . Sunday Sermon. Bubject: “David and Absalom.” Text: “Is the voung man Absalom safe?” —1I Samuel xviii. 29. The heart of David, the father, was wrapped up in his boy Absalom, He was a splendid boy, judgad by the rules of worldly eriticism., From the crown of his head to the sole of his foo: there was not a single hlemish. The Bible says that he had such a luxuriant shoek of hair that when once A vear it was shorn, what was cut off weighed over three pounds. But notwithstanding all his brillianey of appearance he was a bad boy, and broke his father's heart. He was plotting to get the throne of Israel. He had marshaled an army to overthrow his father’s government. The day of battle had come. The conflict was begun. David, the father, sat between the gates of the oalace waiting for the tidings of the oconfliet,. Oh, how rapidly his heart beat with emotion. The two great questions wera to be desid- ed—tha safety of his boy and the continu- ance of the throne of Isranl. After a whilea servant. standing on the top of the house, looks off and sees some one running. He is coming with great speed, and the man on the top of the house announces the coming of the messanger, and the father watches and waits, and as soon as tha messeneer from the fleld of battle comes within hailing distance the father cries out Is it n gues. tion in regard to the establishment of his throne? Does he say: “Have the armies of Israel been viotorious? Am I tocontinue in my imperial authority? Have I overthrown my enemies?” Ob, no! There is ona ques- tion that springs from his heart to the lip, and springs from the lip into the ear of the beswented and bednsted messenger flying from the battleflald-—the question, ‘‘Is the young man Abs When it was told to David, the king, that, though his ar- mies had been victorious, hig son had basn slain, the father turned hack upon the congratulations of the nation and went up the stairs of his pa'ace, his heart breaking as he went, wringing his hands sometimes and then again pressing them against his temnles as though he would press them in, erving “0 Absalom! my son! my A God I had died for thee, 0 Al gon! myson'™ My friands, kine, asked in regar tion that resoun t 1 pened 1 re his son! the « wn whieh Davi ito his son a the que day in the Yea Ing men text I» qaat] hearts f parents, there are a great titude of ¥ stion of thea asked in regard temptations They sen #¢ arted wl resolutions ¢r have 1 in the path, and they ne ask the of mv text, bo kn appropriate They know the r are surrounded, life with as who ready to Are He wh ft God and a pr nflict into which f Just look the Der 3 he is be defeated 5 Xk at fair things we fe with ave b shir vir ( rracedl for tir wha to overthrow. bury it in the all the rocks of ther cove of Gol enorifl honest ( » earth, int i on 1 ake and ton of it ranter ¢ Keer the m all the diamonds of Nevadn raiaand Ausiralin, of these all banking and ons, and ot keen lishonest d¢ That one tis- the earth will tall the resurrection of damnation and yweke with , and all and al » gold of Calif and put on the t« moneyed inst it 186 Tr the sil vor thay o wn that « +3 3" liar honest dollar in the center of begin t til it comes t “As the partridge hateheth them not, so he that getteth riches and r shall save them in the midst of his days, and at hisead shall be a Sadi » heave and roek and upturn sitteth on ees wt by right Now, what men? to 81 wh centrate hapa v viee or are the saleguards of voung The iret safeguard of! which I want oak {2 a love of hom», Th y have n of the pleas : that word “home.” Pear ur early abode wad shadowed with 3 words and petulanece and destroyed all the sanctity of pot, L kindness and rave built their altars ir were strangers in vour God pity young man on naver had a home, ut a muititudes in this audience ean look back to a spot that they can never forge’, It mav have lowly roof, but you « jot think of it now without a dash of t You have seen nothing on earth that so stirred your soul.

That is also sacred forever, There you established the Arst family altar, Theres your children ware born. In that room flapped the wing of the death anzel, Under that roof, when vour It i= die, There is only ons word in all the lan. guage that ean oouvey your idea of that piace, and that word is ‘home. . Now, let mv say that I never knew a man who was faithful to his early and adopted of wickedosss, If you find more enjoyment in the club room, in the literary society, in the art salon, than you do in theses unpretending home pleas- ures, you ars on the road to ruin, Though you may be cut off from your early asso- clates, and though you may be separated not a room somewhere that you can call your own? Though it be the fourth story of a third-clnss boarding house, into that room gather books, pictures and a harp. Hang your mother's portrait over the mantel, Bid unholy mirth stand back from that threshold, Consecmte soma spot in that room with the knee of prayer. y the memory of other days, a father’s counsel, a mother's love and a sister's confidanoce, call it home, Another safeguard for these young men is industrious habits. There are a great many peopls trying to make their way through the world with their wits instead of by honest toil. There is a young man who comes from the oountry totheocity, He fails twice before he Is as old as his father was when he first saw the spires of the great town, He is seated in his room at a rent of $2000 a year, waiting for the banks to de. clare their dividends and the stocks to run up. After awhile he gets impatient. He tries to improve his penmanship by making copy plates of other merchants’ signatures. Never mind--all is right In business, After awhile he has his estate. Now is the time for him to retire to the country, amid the flocks and the herds, to culture the domestic virtues. Now the young men who were his sehool« mates in boyhood will come, and with their ox teams draw him logs, with toeir bard will help to heave up the castle, That is no fanoy sketoh; It is every-day iife. I should not wonder &f there wers a rotten beam in that 1 should not wonder it God should smite him with dire siaknesses and pour fnto his cup a bitter draft that will him with unbearable agony. I shonld not wonder if that man's obhtidren grew u to be to bim a disgrace and to make his Ui ashame ¥should not wonder If that man Afed a dishonorable death and were tumbled foto m dfshonorable grave and then went into the gnashing of teeth. The way of the ungodly shall perish. O young man, you must have industry of head or hand or foot, or perish, Do not have the idea that yon can get along in the world by genius, The curse of this coun- try to-day is geniuses—men with large self conceit and nothing else. The man who proposes to make his living by his wits probably has not any. I should rather be an ox, plain and plodding and ngeful, than to be an esgle, high flying and good for nothing but to piok out the eyes of carcasses, Even in the Garlen of Eden it was not safe for Adam to be idle, ro God made him n horticulturist, and if the married pair had kept busy dressing the vines they would not have been ssuntering under the trees, hank- ering after fruit that rained them and their posterity! Proof positive of tha fact that when people do not attend to their business they get into mischiaf, ‘Go to the ant, thon sluggard; consider her ways and be wise, which, having no overseer or guide, provid. sth herfood in the.summer and gathereth her meat in the harvest,” Batan ia a roaring lion. and you oan naver destroy him by gun or pistol or sword. The weapons with which you are to beat him back ara pen and type and hammer and adz and saw and plokax and vardstick and the weapon of honest toil, Work, work, or die, Another safeguard that I want to present to voung men is a high ideal of life, Some- times soldiers going into battls shoot into the ground instead of into the hearts of their enemies, They are apt to take atm too low, and it is very often that the cantain, going into eonfliet with hic men, will ory out, “Now, men, aim high!" The fact is that in life a great many men take no aim at all, The artist plans out his entire thought before he puts it upon canvas, hafors he takes up the erayon or the ahisel.

All the rooms sonnect with each other, usually by means of closets, but as there are several levels on the same story the doors in some cases feet above the level of the lower room. There 18s no ap parent reason for this difference of level, nnless it was purposely designed to increase the difficulty of captare in the event of the house being taken by an enemy. The building some years ago passed nut of the hands of the Van Rensse- laers, and the properiy was in litiga- tion for nearly two years. During that time it was the retreat of a band of young ruffians who broke the win- dows, defaced the woodwork, and de- molished the mantels and balusters, Prior to that time the old manor was visited by people from all parts of the United States.
