LESSONS OP A BEAUTIFUL TEXT.
Supreme Events of Our Lives All Happen
"Within 30 llinutes.
A TRANSIENT TIS10X OF OUR HOME
ffrtCIAI. TELEGRAM TO Trig DISrATCIM
Beookltx, Jan. 31. Dr. Talmage has of
late been preaching on texts of scripture
that seem to have been neglected, and here
is a sermon on a beautiful text which proba
bly was never before selected for a dis
course, Revelations 8:i, "There was silence
in heaven about the space of half an hour."
The busiet place in the universe is
heaven. It is the center from which all
pood influences start; it is the goal at which
all good results arrive. The Bible repre
sents it as active with wheels and wings and
orchestras and processions mounted or
charioted.
But my text describes a space when the
wheels ceased to roll and the trumpets to
found and the voices to chant. The riders
on the white horses reined in their chargers..
Trie doxolosies were hushed and the pro
cession halted. The hand of arrest was put
upon all the splendors. "Stop, Heaven!"
cried an omnipotent voice, and it stopped,
for SO minutes everything celestial stood
still. From all we can leant it is the only time
heaven ever stopped. It does not stop as
other cities, for the night, for there is no
night there. It does not stop Tor a platrue,
for the inhabitant never says: "I am sick.'
It does not stop for bankruptcies, for its in
habitants never fail. It does not stop for
impassable streets for there are no fallen
snows nor sweeping freshets. What, then,
stopped it for 30 minutest
W hy Did Heaven Stop?
Grotius and Prof. Stuart think it was at
the time of the destruction of Jerusalem.
Mr. Lord thinks it was in tho year 311, be
tween the close of the Diocletian persecu
tion and the beginning of the wars by which
Constantino gained the throne. But that
was all a guess though a learned and
brilliant guess. I do not know when it was
and I do not care when it was, but of the
tact that such an interregnum of sound
took place I am certain.
And, first of all. we may learn that God
and all heaven then honored silence. Tho
longest and widest dominion that ever ex
isted is that over which Stillness was Queen.
For an eternity there had not been a tound.
World-making was a later day occupation.
For unimaginable ages it was a mute uni
verse. joa was tne only Deing, and, as
theie a no one to speak to, there was no
utterance.
But that silenco has teen all broken up
into worlds, and it has become a noisy uni
verse. Worlds in upheaval, worlds in con
gr'ation, worlds in conflagration, worlds in
revolution. Ir geologists are right (and I
heliete they are) there has not been a mo
ment of silence since this world began its
travels and the crashings and the splittings
and the uproar and the hubbub are ever in
piogioss.
But when among the supernals a voice
ci Sed: "Hush:" and for half an hour heaven
wb still, silence was honored. The full
power o' silenco many of us have yet to
J para. We are told that when Christ was
aii-aigned "He answered not a word."
That bileuce w,as louder than thunder.
V.'lien II Is Best to Be StilL
Ofttimes, w hen we are assailed and mis
represented, the mightiest thing to say is to
say nothing, and the mightiest to do, is to do
nothing. Those people who are always
rushing into print to get themselves set
light accomplish nothing but their own
chagrin. Among the grandest lessons the
trot Id lias ever learned are the lessons of
rmtience taught by those who endured un
coniplainingiv personal or domestic or o
cia! or political injustice.
Leai n also t-oni my text that heaven must
be an eventful and active place, from the
fact that it could afford only SO minutes of
iti-tss. iueie nave ueen events on earth
and in heaven that seemed to demand a
whole day or whole w eek or whole year for
celestial consideration. If Grotius was right
and this silence occurred at the time of the
destruction or Jerusalem, that scene was so
a-n :ul and so prolonged that the inhabitants
of heaven could not have done justice to it
In man v w ecks.
The hunger or the people in that city dur
ing the bcKiegement was so great that as
some outlaws were passing a doorway and
inhaled the odors or food they burst open
the door, threatening tho mother of the
household with death unless she gave them
some food, and she took them aside and
showed them that it was her own child she
was cooking for the ghastly repast. Six hun
dred priests were destroyed on Mount Zion
because the Temule being gone there was
nothing for them to do.
The Heavenly Programme Full.
No.' Thirty minutes! Tiie fact is that the
celestial programme is so crowded with
spectacle that it can aSoid only one recess
In nil eternity and that for a short space.
While there ai-e great choruses in which all
heaven can join, each soul there has a storv
or divine meicy peculiar to itself, and it
must be a solo. How can heaven get through
with all itMecitatives, with all its cantatas
with all it grand marches, with all its vic
tories? Kternity is too short to utter all the
nniise. In niv text heaven spared 10 min
utes, but it will ueveragain spare one minute.
Besides that, heaven is full of children.
Tin j are in the vast majority. Xo child on

heaven by St. John is more impressive -when
wo take only 30 minutes of it at a time.
Xow, we have something that we can come
nearer to grasping, and it is a quiet heaven.
When wo discourse about tho multitudes of
heaven, it must bo almost a nervous shock
to those who have all their lives been
crowded bv many people, and who want a
quiet heaven.
A Heaven of Repose Wanted,
for the last 35 years 1 have been much of
the time in crowdsandunderpublic scrutiny
and amid excitements, and I have sometimes
tuouglit for a row t eeksafter I reach heaven
I would like to go dowu in some quiet part
of the realm, with u few friends, and for a
little while try comparative solitude. Then,
there are those whoso hearing is so delicate
that they get no satisfaction when you de
scribe the crash of the eternal orchestra, and
they feel like saying, as a good w-omau in
Hudson, X. T.. said, after hearing me sneak
of the mighty chorus of heaven: "That
must be a great heaven, but what will
become of my poor head?"
You will ilnd the inhabitants all at home.
Enter tho King's Palace and take only a
glimpse, for w e have only 30 minutes for all
heaven. "Is that Jesus?"' "Yes." Just under
the hairalong His forehead is the mark or a
wound made by a bunch of twisted bram
bles, and His foot on tho throne has on the
roun J. of His instep another wound made by
a Kpiwe, ana a scar on ino paim oi lur iuh
hand, and a scir on the. palm of His left
hand. But, w hat a countenance! What a
smile! M'hat a grandeur! What a loveliness!
What an overwhelming look of kindness
and grace! Whv, He looks as if He had re
deemed a world!
But, come on, lor our time is short. Do
you see that row of palaces? That is the
Apostolic Row. Do yon see'that long reach
or architectural glories? That is Martyr
Bow.

You know Leaven is much more of a place
than it was when that recess of SO minutes
occurred. Its population has quadrupled,
septupled, centupled. Heaven has more on
hand, more of rapture, more or knowledge,
mure of intercommunication, more ot wor
fchip. My subject also impresses me with the im
mottality of a Iialf-nour. That half-hour
mentioned in my text is more widely known
than any other period in the calendar or
heaven. Xone or the whole hours of heaven
aie measured ofi. none of the years, none of
the centuries. The only part of eternity
that was ever measured hy earthly time
piece was measured by the minute hand of
ury text.

Again, my text suggests a wray or studvin--heaven
so that we can better understand i?
The word "eternity" that we handle so much
i an immeasurable word. Knowing that we
could not understand that word, the Bible
uses it only once. Wo 'ay. "For ever and

The Crowning Piece of Architecture.
Do you see that immense structure? That
is the biggest house in heaven; that is "the
house of many mansions." Do you ee that
wall? Shade your eyes against its burning
splendor, for that is tho wall of heaven,
jasper at the bottom and amethyst at the
top.
See this river rolling through the heart of
the great metropolis? That is the river con
cerning which those who once lived on tho
banks or the Hudson, or the Alabama, or
the Bhine, or the Shannon, say: "We never
saw the like of this for clarity and sheen."
That is the chief river of heaven so bright,
so wide, so deep.
But vou ask: "Where are the asylums for
tho old?" I answer: "The inhabitants are all

lame?" "They are all agile." "Where are
the infirmaries for the blind and deaf?"
"They all see and hear." "Where are the
almshouses lor the pooi?" "They are all
multi-millionaire." "Where are the inebri
ate asylums?" "Why, there are ho saloons."
"Where are the graveyards?" "Why, they
never die."
Pass down those boulevards of gold and
amber and saphlre and sec those intermina

universe into homes, over the threshold of
which sorrow neversteps, and out of whose
windows, faces once pale w ith earthly sick
ness, now look rubicund with immortal
health. "Oh, let me go irr and see them? '
you say. Xo, you cannot go in. There are
those there who would never consent to let
you come out again.
Tour First Half Honr at Home.
But how will yon spend tho first half hour
of your heavenly citizenship afteryou have
gone in to stay? After your prostration be
fore tho throne in worship of Him who made
It possible for you to get there at all, I think
the rest of your first hall hour in heaven
will be passed in receiving your reward If
you have been talthful.
In yourflist hair hour in heaven in some
way you will be honored for the earthly
strucgles in w hich you wen the day. Stand
up befoie all the Koyal House of heaven
and leceive the insignia while Vou

droughts and freshets of the farm
field, Victor over the temptations
of the Stock Exchange, Victor over

mestic infelicities, Victor over mechanic's
shop, Victor over the storehouse, Victor
over home worriments, Victor over physical
distiesse, Victor over heieditary depres
sions, Victor over sin and death and hell.
Take the badge that celebrates those vic
tories through our Lord Jesus Christ. Take
it in the presence ot all the galleries, saintly,
anirelic and divine! While all heaven chants:
"These are they who came out of great
tribulation and had their robes washed and
maae white in the olood of the Lamb."
Thy saints In all this glorious war
Shall conquer though tlicy rile;
They i.ee the triumph trom afar
And seize It with their eye.
Pittsburg, SATur.D.vr, January
The features of the week worthy of men
tion in general producolineswerothe strong
markets ror poultry and eggs and choice
dairy products. Severe winter weather had
no doubt much to do with the activity in
these lines. Eggs are very firm at an ad
vance of 2c to 3a per dozen overprices ofa
week ago. Elgin creamery was advanced lc
per pound on Monday at Elain, and at the
rise markets aro firm. For several months
country butter has been a drug and prices
were meiely nominal, the average consumer
giving the preference to oleo.
In the past week, however, a better de
mand has developed and prices are better
than they have been all the winter. There
is also an improved demand for potatoes,
but no improvement so far as other vege
tables are concerned. Cabbage and sweet
potatoes have not been as dull and low for
many years as they are afthis time. Our
nearby gardeners report that it is not worth
while to bring cabbage to market as ex
penses consume all profits.
Tropical Fruits Demoralized.
In the line of tropical fruits the event of
the week has been the heavy arrivals of
frosted bananas. Markets have been so
overstocked with damaged fruit that even
the good has suffered more or less as a
consequence. Florida oranges are re
duced almost 50c per box from the highest
Erice reached in tho eaily part of January,
emons are steady and lancy stock Js a
shade higher than it was at the be
ginning of the week. Malaga grapes
have also found a higher level.
The advance since the beginning
of January has been equal to $3 per halt
barrel. In grocery lines the advance of c
on sugar proved to have a short lease of lite.
After a vain struggle of a day or two prices
drifted back to where thev wore a week ago.
The strong factors in grocery lines are
canned goods, rice and fancy New Orleans
molasses. Canned tomatoes and corn are
Sarticularly firm, and though prices have
een advanced in the past week or two,
prospects are for still further advances.
Xew Orleans advices are that the output of
open kettle molasses this season is little
moro than half what it was last season, and
yet in face of this prices are no higher now
than they were a year ago.
In the Cereal Lines.
It will bo seen by reference to home mar
ket column that receipts of grain and hay
were unusually large the past week, the
total being 323 carloads. Keceipts of wheat
alone were 91 carloads for the week. In
most cereal lines markets aie weaker and
lower than they were last Saturday; Oats
and shell corn are decidedly lower, as quo
tations will disclose. Millfeed or all kinds
is in excessive supply, and sales are only
made by liberal concessions on the part of
the holder. Wheat is off 1 to 2c per bushel
in the past week, and flour quiet No. 2 red
wheat was offered at the Grain Exchange to
day at 99c, with no takers. Ear corn is the
strong factor of cereal markets, a fact due
to improving quality of offerings. Hay is
fairly steady at prices of a week ago.
Wearing Out vhoe Leather.
The following from the Youth's Companion
must have been written with a view to help
ing trade in footwear lines:
"I have but one maximum for you," said a
successful and wealthy merchant to a young
man who went out of his employ to enter
upon the study ofa profession, "and that is
never to try to sive your shoe leather, but
always to be economical of the cloth that
forms the.seat of your trousers."
Tne voung man ponaeteu tiv.s tut or ad-
CHICAGO Wheat ruled dull and lower
to-day. The news was nearly all bearish;
local sentiment was in accord with it, and
the offerings were in excess of the demand.
Cables vero depressed and lower, with
domestic markets tending downward. The
export business for the week was nearly
$1,000,000 bushels less than the week previ
ous, and the trade was figuring on an in
crease of500,000bushcls in the visible supply.
Finally the continuous- stream of offerings
began to tell, and buyers drawing out, there
was a recession from cjrly figures.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor
rected by John M'. Oakley & Co.. 45 Sixth street,
members of the Chicago Board of Trade:

The speculative pulse beat high last week,
transactions being almost up to high water

Monongahela Water and the New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal Company.
Comparison with the closing prices of the
active stocks the previous Saturday shows
these changes: Central Traction advanced

Duquesne and Birmingham a little more

these two exceptions everything handled

An OElectric Amalgamator.
A novel machine, which enables the kiic.
cessful operation of gold deposits that could
not be profitably woiked by sluice methods,
ha? recently been placed in service near
Denver. This machine is an amalgamator
which is worked entirely by electricity, and
hy which the fine particles that would bo
carried away by the current In a sluice aro
all saved. What may be a valuless deposit
to the sluice miners may prove profitable
ground to the operatorsoftlieamaln-anuitoi.
The machine consists of a dipper, "which is
dug into the bank, and lifts up a cubic yard
of material. This is thrown into the large
cylinder in rapid 1 evolution, the fine sand
in which the cold is distriouted falling
through a compartment duectly beneath
In this chamber the fine sand is mixed with
water under a high pressure, and carried
over the burface 01 tho amalgamated plates.
In this way every particle of the piecious
metal is retained on the plates hy amalga
mation. Afier the machine bai been in
oneration for a given length of time thn
amalgam is scraped from the plates, and tho
gold is reduced by ordinary methods.
The Armerican Watch Industry.
As an evidence of the rapid increase of de
mand for American watches, the fact is
noted that a single American company sold
more watches during the last 12 months in
England that all the Englishcompanies
combined sold of their otvii manufactures.
On the other hand, this fact makes it rather
difficult to understand why a duty of 25 per
cent on watch movements is needed heie lor
protection.

London Advices Say Negotiations With
Canada Will Be Resumed.
London. Jan. 31. It is stated here that
the negotiations for a restricted reciprocity
treaty between Canada and the United
States are to be resumed in about
a fortnight. Newfoundland is urging
upon the Colonial Office that it is
very necessary that her treaty with the
TTnileiJ States should pass the United States
Senate before March 4, but the Colonial
Office still objects to dividing the traditional
unity of its policy regarding the Atlantic
fisheries.
Some officials here still hope for a wav
out of the difficulty by a general reciprocity
treaty between the United States and all
British North America. High Canadian au
thorities here, however, do not disguise their
belief that the negotiations, if resumed now,
are hardly likely to succeed. Meanwhile,
such English journals as refer to Canada's
trouble with Newfoundland say it is best
for both to work together on a cordial
basis.

Weakness In AH Paris of tho List Still Led
by Distillers' Mclilson, Omaha nnil
Cotton OH Each Heavy Losers Kallroad
Bonds still Active.
New York:, Jan. 30. The stock market to
day was. nothing but the fag end ot the
week's speculation, and considerable weak
ness was seen in all portions of the list.
Thero was no apparent support to stocks,
even those which are known tobe under the
care of cliques, and a marked dearth of com
mission house buying encouraged the bears
to again attack the most vulnerable points,
which was also aided by liberal selling for
foreign account. The stocks which have an
intei national market, however, were not the
largest sufferer, but tho3e which have made
the most pronounced gains of late.
The banner weak stock still continues to
be Distillers', and to-day many stop orders
in it were uncovered, with the effect of
dropping the stock in the early dealings 1
per cent. The bears Sold the Grangers free
ly, but only Omaha showed any material im
pression, and the selling of Atchison, which
was specially marked, sufficed only to de
press the stock a fraction and largely in
orease the amount of bnsiness done fn it.
Tho same may be said of Louisville, which
was the next most prominent mark forbear,
drives.
Consolidated Gas made another sham un-
ward syiurt, the action or the directors in
raising the rate of dividend from 5 to 6 per
cent and making it payable quarterly in
stead of semi-annually, furnishing the mov
ing poorer. The stock -opened up I per cent
at 105 and rose to 11 closing at 11 a gain
of 6 per cent.
Distillers' rallied handsomely in the late
dealings, but closed with a material loss.
The bank statement, with its further large
gain in cash and deposits, seemed to have no
effect whatever, but covering operations
caused a slight rally in the final trading,
which closed the market firm at a shado
better, than the lowest prices. The losses
of importance were Distillers', 1; Atchi'on,

when.these two men entered . and began to
feel in their pockets, he gave himself op for
lost.
Seizing a large ledger, he threw it at
them, ducked under a table and hallooed
for help. His clerks ran in just as the as
tonished strangers went out, and an 'investi
gation showed that they were reputable
gentlemen, and at the moment the Baron
suspected them of sinister intention were
feeling in their pockets for the letters of in
troduction they were about to present. The

A KESVY THICK IN BUSINESS.
Nineteen Hundred Dollars Saved by Pat
ting TJn Four UnndreJ.
A recent display of tact in a business
emergency was the cause of saving the
man concerned a good round sum -of
money, says ji St. Louis .business man in
the Olobe-Democrat. A firm, concerninj-
which rumors of insolvency had been
spread, gave a check to o'ne of their
creditors for $2,500. The creditor took the
check to the bank and was there told that
they would willingly pay it, but the firm
lacked about 5400 of having the money.
Fearful of holding the check, he went to
the desk, drew his own check for 5400, de
posited it to the credit of the firm, then
presented his check and walked bff. Tho
next day the firm failed and paid about loo
on the dollar, and if he had retained the
check his loss would have been consider
able, but this display of, business tact
saved the money and the annoyance which
would have been caused had. he been in
volved in legal proceedings.

SIR MORRELL MACKENZIE
Says in the Journal of Laryngology, Novem
ber, 18S7: "Compressed Pastilles or Soden
water are now an article of commerce as
well as the mineral waters. Those aro made
from two of the. well waters, and containing
a large amount of chloride of Sodium, are
particularly serviceable in pharyngeal ca
tarrhs, and may even in some degree be
used where it is desired to obtain the efiects
of the Soden treatment in persons who are
unable to make the necessary journey to the
spa itself."

THE MISSING M0NAGHAH.

"West Chester, Pa., Jan. 31. Special'
The following cable message as to
missing E. Jones Monajrhan's departure
from Australia was received bv
Mr. Monajhan's . familf here to-day:
"Monaghan sailed on the 25th." This brief
message has brought a great degree of relief
to the Monaglmn household.
In connection with the two letters re
ceived a few days ago itclears up the mys
tery. Mr. Monaghan left home with his
mind so clouded that since his re
covery he has explained and
asked forgiveness for a departure
which he now sees must have
caused great pain and anxiety. In his letter
to his wiie he said that he had to i;et away
from his work. "If I had not," says he,
'"ft would have been if question of the
grave, the suicide's death or the 'maniac's

Two Innocent Strangers Sllstaksn
Jlombthrowcrs Put Him to lied.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The panic of moneyed men in New York
on account of the demand of cranks for
funds, recalls the historic fright of the cele
brated Baron Ilothschild at the beginning
of this century. A good many demands had
been made on, him from time to time 'for
money, and his life had been repeatedly
threatened because his bank loaned money
to various continental powers to enable
them to carry on the war with Napoleon.
One day two strangers came inso his private
office unintroduced, the attendant at the
door having for the" moment withdrawn.
Eothschild was always nervous, at the sight
of strangers without introduction, and
