the manner of XI. Jules Fnttre. The

The Joy of the Haitians know no

they set earned, they jelled. they hugged
one another, they drunk copious toasts

of thought which may be had only by
leading the entire seiles, from chapter
I: 7. to vl. S This lslon may bo called
"Tho Golden Candlstlck with the Two
OHe Trees" The candlestick was
foi mod after the pattern of the one In
the tabernacle (i: xv: .11-37) but
with -come remarkable variations It
had a. lound vessel on tho top, seven
feeding tubes for each lamp, and two
tiees nt its sides, none of which weio
in the original In the sanctuary. Tho
candlestick represents the chinch as
tho appointed, light beaier In a dark
wen Id. This is confirmed bv sevoial
passages In the New Testament (Matt,
v: 14.) spoken bv Christ nnd Paul (Phil.
II. ID.) and by the oxpiess statement of
the angel In explaining a somewhat
similar vision to John In Patmos. (Hev
I: 20).

truth was to bo communicated to him,
but ho was unable to Intel pi et tho pic

cerning the significance of it. he de
sired to be assured. Hence ho asked
an explanation fiom the angel who had
been sneaking with him. The angel's
countci -question Implies that tho pro

tho vision from tho analogy of the gol
den candlestick in the holy place Hero

LOYALTY AS COLLATnitAU
Amei leans capitalists who feel In
clined to lend that $10,OOU,uoO previously
mentioned to Haiti may bo Interested
to learn that, by article 40 of tho con
stitution of the Haitian republic, "pub
ljc debts are guaranteed and placed
under tho safeguard of the loyalty of
the Haitian nation." Sir Spencer St.
John, formerly British minister to
Haiti, tells a good story on this head.
Tho Haitian minister In Pails went
to a famous French banker to con
tract a loan for Haiti and natuially
the capitalist asked him what security
he could offer. The minister replied,
grandiloquently: "The constitution
place th pu'bllc debts under tho
safeguard of the loyalty of the nation."
The banker eyed him curlouslv for i
moment and then s.ild "Thane; yo.r
I have business to attend f. Good
morning." Tho Now York bank -s c
whom President Sam Is now apolylng
will no doubt agree In wantl.ig soine
better security than tho "consfl'utlon"
offers.

numerous and foi mldablo, should bo

out conspicuously like a mountain,
which should become a plain. This
figure of speech wns employed by
Jesus In an nddiess to the disciples
(Mutt x. II 20.) when He declared their
ability In His service. It is in full har
mony with all those utterances In
which tho help of God men are made

Zeiubbabel would complete tho temple
which ho had begun This great Jew
ish leader, who laid tho foundation
stone, should also bring forth the cope
stone, to bo set in the gable, amidst
loud acclamation of tho people. (Kzra
III- 11), Seeing then that such success
was cei tain, tho angel who spoko to
Zecharlah addressed a word of repioof
to the faint-hearted, to those who had
looked with discouragement upon tho
struggles of the years since the people
leturned from Babylon. Those were
days of small things not to be despised
Tho Jews themselves and especially
their enemies, who had frustrated and
hindered them, must think these feeble
efforts were nil for nausht. The eyes
of tho Lord w hlch run to nnd fro
through nil tho earth beheld this work.
Ho know what had been done nnd with
what motive, and He would bring all

Tim QUESTIONS (Vs 11 and 1J )
The piophct appeals to have giasped
though even the best-tasting, thorough
ly rlne and perfect choiiles start up
veiy lino cases of colic and cholera
morbus, which are very annoying. The
colored people of the south think, and
It may bo that the same belief exists
olsewheie and among otheis as well,
thnt all the cramp or colic Is taken out
of tho cheiry by eating It, swallowing
stone and all. That unquestionably
was the practice once, but In recent
years feats of appendicitis may have
changed It somewhat, though for the
life of me I cannot understand why It
Is so dangerous now to swallow apple
seed, grape seed or cherry stones, when
in old-fashioned times It was tho rule
to do so, rather than the exception."
INSURED FOR 810,000,000.
The Aggiegnte of Policies on the
Piince of Wales' Life.
From tho Chicago Pecord.
A big Insurance man told mo recent
ly In New York that tho Prince of
Wales was the heaviest risk of any
patron of the Insurance buslners, nnd
that his death would cost Hngllsh, Ger
man. French and American companies
not less than $10,000 000.
"No other person carries 20 per eens
of that Insurance " he said, "but com
paratively little of It Is for the bene
lit of his family, peih.ips not moie than
$1,000,000. Some voars ago large poli
cies were taken out by his ciedltors as
security fot money loaned. If ho should
over pay his debts thev would, of
course, revert to him, and might b2
can led for tho benefit of his family,
but his premiums, like the premium on
all of the royal families of Kurope. ur
voiv high much higher thin those
paid by private Individuals for the same
amount of Insuiance
'It Is a curious fact." continued mi
insurance ft lend, who spends a good
deal of his time in l.ngl.ind, "that $2,

Tim DlSCLOSUim (Vs. 13 and II )
Zecharlah's Inquiry was promptly ie- I
wnrded. The angel gave him Informa
tion of great Impoitnnce. The two
olive trees, two olive branches, nnd tho
two golden pipes were emblems of the
two anointed ones that stand by the
Loid. There has been some discussion
among scholars, but the gcneial opin
ion Is thnt these two anointed ones
weie Zerubbabel and Joshuu, the gov
ernor and tho high priest. They repre
sented the civil nnd the religious pow
01 s, through whom God comes to men,
ns the oil llowod through tho branches
and tho pipes to tho candlesticks Here
Is plainly taught that the state and the
church are tho channels through which
Divine lntluences proceed to the good
of men. This truth Is plainly taught In
many pastnges of Sciipture. See tho
words of Jesus as to the chuich (Matt
xvl: IS,) and of Paul as to the state.
(Horn, xlll: 1.) It was of tho utmost
Importance to make this disclosure nt
this time to Zocharlah to exalt his Idea
of both Institutions.

vine Providence Is often obscured
Many men stand at the open door of
gieat opportuntlos, fearing to advance
because of untoward clroum'stnnces In
ancient times God was pleased by spec
ial message to make known Ills will,
speaking by men upon whom His spirit
wns laid. (II Peter I: 21.) Now He di
rects us to the record of earlier revela
tions which aie more reliable (II Peter
1. 19,) and bids us study to know what
Is right and best. Of one thing nil may
be assuied that Ho will accomplish His
puipose, overcoming obstacles and
bringing to pass even what at times
may bo continry to human foresight.
In that accomplishment of that pur
pose Ho ordinal lly employs political
and ecclesiastical forces, both which
aio the appointed agencies or channels
of His grace, nnd they should ever bo
so legarded. Sad day when men for

Every Form of Accident.
From Cussell's Magazine.
The danger buildings of a powder
mill are themselves so constructed that
not a nail head or Iron In any shape Is
exposed and tho roofs are made slight,
so as to give vent to explosions. The
gat meats of tho workeis aio pocket
less, so that they cannot rai ry knives
oi matches, or, indeed, anything, and
are made of non-inflammable mate
rial. Hven the buttons must not be
metal. No one Is allowed to go around
with trouseis tinned up at the bottom,
because gilt is collected in that way
and the merest hard spec of foreign
matter In a charge of gunpowder is
finught with danger.
The entrances to danger building.)
are protected by boards placed e lee
ways, so that when the door Is open
nothing in the shape of dirt can vvo-
in This also serves as a check to
any one who might thoughtless" p o
eeed to enter without Hist ha in e
moved his boots and put on tne over
alls hat are kept Just Inside tne door
Doors are made to ouen outward so
in to onahlo them to escape the more
leadlly and on the appioaeh of ,i
thundei storm the woiks aio stopp-'d
and the operatives lepali to the dif
ferent watch houses scatteied ovr the
3000 acres coveied by these extensive
works
i:very week tho machinery Is In
spected and the teports ai to Its con
dition are ptinted and Hied in the
ease of a danger building needing to
bo lepalreel it must bo (list washed
nut before u hammer oi other Iron tool
Is admitted to It. When artificial light
is lequiied, as when woiklng at night
or In dull weathei, tho lights ate kept
outside, being placed on the window
Idges. In the caso of the woiks maga
zine, which Is surrounded with wat--no
light of any kind Is over penn t.od
rear it These aio only a few of the
ptecaitUons against accidents at the
wcrks. they aio sufficient, how v i n
show how lively must bo the sen.t of
danger. Men in powdei h isi umi
nllv have an ai ranged plan of escape
In their minds, and at the .ist uiicn
