If CHAPTER V. "Who has the key to the attic of the house?" asked the detective, when they had descended from the piazza. "Miss Hattle, master; she asked me for It yesterday morning." "Is there more than one 7 "No, muster, only de one." - "Cnme 'round here on the east aide of the house. Is that you, Calban?" "Yes, Mara Lang, it's Calban." "No one has left the house, save those you know?" "No. Mars Lang. "Now, Hannah, who murdered your master?" "I don't know that. Mars Iang."" "You ilo know who rang the door bell; buj fo you mean when Robert"-Campbell sounded It?" . '"No.' Mars Lang, no. I dlden know Mara Itoliert was in de house till after I heard de Ml; Imt he must have been, for it was be thnt went to de door, and not five min " utes after, when I went to de door of de library, dnr he stood, with de bloody knife in bis hand, and Mars Herman 'casing him of nmrderin' master." "Was that the first you knew of his be in ir in the house?" "Wait, Mars Lang. I had been dozin' in de kitchen. Millie had gone upstairs to' lied, and when I wake up I thought I'd pee if ole master had gone to bed, and pat out de lights in de hall. You see, I know ed. tine tuke bad gone to bed, so I passed through the dining room and out into the ball. Somehow, I happen to look up. I nK.se I was lookln' at de hangin' lamp; but I seed someone standin' on de stairs, about five steps down. Da had on a long white night gown. At first, I thought it ira Miss Hattie; but then I seed it was too tall and big for her, and de hair on he head was too black and short. I was Jest about to speak when de person on de "stairs bent obcr, sideways like, and reach ed out one arm, and wid de hand seized bole of de wire dat leads to de bell at de loner end of de hall and pulled it. He pulled it several times, and as he was bent ober, I saw. his face." "It was the face of Herman Craven? ' "Yes. Mars Lang, and he was as white as death. I diden know what to do. A treinblin' seized me, and I was that skeer ed I Ink. to fell down. Suddenly, I heard ole master's voice, and someone- started for de door from de library. I thought it wns-ele master. Mara Herman had dodg ed back upstairs, and I ran through de dining room and into de kitchen." "Then you did not see Herman Craven descend the stairs?" . No, Mars" Lang. Mars Herman was U. his night shirt, and he ran back after he had pulled de bell wire." "Did he see you, Hannah?" "I can't be certain; but I don't think he did. Mars Lang." "If he did, your life may be in peril, not that he would fear your testimony, but that, yon might -give me information. You must be on your guard, and watch him closely. You must never be alone never leave the house by yourself. He must have committed this murder." "I low could be. Mrs. Lang? I haden been back in de kitchen no time when I heard a groan. I ran back to de diuin' room door, and was standin' there trem blin', when- Mars Robert pushed open de front door and run in. He was bare headed, and I dodged back, as he entered de library door. The next thing I heard his cry: 'Help! Murder!' then 1 hear Mars Herman knock on Miss Hattie's door and call her, and saw them come down stairs together." "Itoliert Campbell, you say, pushed open the front door and ran in? It must have been unfastened, then." "The door was standin' ajar, Mars Lang. Ink he left it, when he went out to see who was dnr.' "Then you do not think -Herman de scended the stairs -after you saw him pulling the wire, until after the murder -had been committed? - "No, Mars Lang, he hadn't time." "Io you know when Herman entered the house .to-night?" "No, bht'I know he was in de library, and I was in de dihin room, when he pass ed through de hall and went up to bed." "How long was this before he pulled the wire?" "Oh, a long time. Mars Lang, before I was doziu' perhaps an hour." "Did you hear loud voices, as though your master and Herman were quarreling to-night?" ' "'o. Mars Lang. Ole master nebber quarrel. He say what he mean, but he nebber quarrel, and I heard no loud voice until I heard Mars Robert's cries of .'U. ip! Murder!' " For a moment the detective stood then in the darkness. In thoughtful silence Suddenly be said: "Yon know, Hannah that it would not have taken Herman Craven' long to run down the stairs, strike thai blow and dash up them again." "I know that, master; but he couldn't have done it. If he had already been down Ktairs when de bell sounded, and hid in master's room, or in de library, be .might have bad time after Mars Robert "mi to de door to have killed ole mastei nml dashed up do stairs before I heard that groan. and got back to de dining room tiHir. He didn't run up after that. "You forget," said Sellars, "that if he i the murderer of your master he was down stairs at the time you heard that groan. lie couldn't have been. Mars Lang Mars Herman Is not the murderer of oh master." . i "Why did he pull the wire and sound me bell? He must have known that Rob ert was in the bouse, and it must have own tor the purpose of calling him to the aoor. "Either he or old master. Mars Lang. He must have thought I bad gone to bed.'' "Yes. either Cnmnhpll op tnnr -muster. You say that when you finally advanced to the library door Robert was standing with the bloody knife in his hand?" "1 es, and right over ole master's body, as though he had just pulled the bladr from his breast. There was blood on hi hand and sleeve tml linem An kl tnot Mars Herman denounced him as master' murderer, but Mars Uobcrt did not kiU ole master. He was not in the nouse when that blade was driven to his heart and I heard that cry." "Did you see anything of a bag of coin when you entered the library, Hannah?" Nothing. Mars Lang;" Has Herman any personal friends, whom he sometimes brings to the bouse. Young men, probably." "No, Mars Lang; none have ever ac companied him here." "Do yon think your master bad a big! regard for his nephew?" "He take him in when ho -nm t ; Mara Lang, because he Wflfl Ilia fiiulor'i. ton; but ole master had no use for hit. father, who led Miss Mattie a sorry lift and broke her heart In-fore she died. I don't think he had much use for bis son.' "You dou't think he would have givei him his daughter's hand in marriage'" "Never! He know Miss Hattie lov Mars Robert, and I often hear him praise Mars Robert nn." "WcJJ, that is all to-night, Hannah. Not a word, yon understand, to anyone r ou. conversation. If Herman wcaks to von do not seem to doubt the guilt of Roller. Campbell. To your mistress, say that I wijl see her to-morrow. Tell her further that if she has suspicions, to keep then, to herself. I do not think she believe. Herman guilty; but she must not seem suspicious of him. She must try. and act as though k'ao believed the tight party had been apprehended. Tell her that Robert Campbell, though in custody, is nnder the protecting care of Lang Sellars. Now cat yon return to the bouse without your ab tence having been noted by Herman?" "Easily. Mars Ijiug." "Then do so, and watch closely. Do not sleep alone. Your young mistress will have many Indy friends here in her troti ble. Keep Millie as near you as you can Good-night." "Good-night. Mars Lang," said the ne gress. and she bad started along the side of the house for the rear entrance wbea the detective called her back. "Are Adam, the coachman, and Herman on friendly terms?" he asked. "Adam rather sec the devil than Mars. Herman," said the negress. "Mars Her man 'spect more of ole master's niggers than he do hisself. I understand, saiil Sellars. luat all," and as the negress again started oft he joiued Calban. "You can go home now, Calban," he said. "It must be 3 o'clock in the morn ins." "I 'spec It is. Mars Lang," said the ne gro, as he made off in the darkness. "Another mystery to unravel, matter ed the detective, as he passed out the gate. "Herman Craven's hand must have guided the keen blade of that sheath knife, notwithstanding the fact that Hannah states that it could not have been he. Not j a drop of blood on his spotless garments. Not a stain on his white hands, but a damnable one on his guilty conscience. Whether or not he struck the blow, hi was the head that planned the murder. He pulled the wire and sounded the bell that for a moment left the coast clear. Campbell was the one man he wished re moved from his path. But the bag of coin? Clearly he bad a confederate, and that confederate struck the blow and es caped with the coin. Why, Herman had no knowledge of the fact that Campbell was to be there with the coin to pay that note to-night I mean last night, now un til after he had entered the bouse and the banker had informed htm in the library and then he did not know that he would bear with him a bag of coin. Not a living soul witnessed that blow, save the one who struck it not even Herman Craven unless, perchance, he struck the blow. Hannnh alone saw his blanched face when he pulled that wire, and her oath would not be admissible in a court of jus tice. Lang Sellars. you have solved some intricate cases. Solve this,, and bring ttiA nnMt.eo nr tn linl.iPi.ra nf R.nlrnp T"l,. i -.'.."--. " - - I Rosette to justice. Humph! Not a doubt of it!" the detective exclaimed aloud. "Why," he thought, "I can place my hand, any minute, on the formulator of this tragedy. Now for the evidence that will condemn him. Now for the unknown accomplice if he had one and the bag of coin. I wonder." he thought, suddenly coming to a full halt, "it I have bis full j motive. Was this murder planned after he bad arrived at tne nouse in si nignt, and was his sole object to get possession of that money? If so, he had a confederate, sure. He might have abstracted a much larger sum from the bank. Ah, yes, but certain detection would have followed. One thing is certain: The object was to get rid of Banker DeRosette. I think that had been determined in your mind be fore to-night, Herman Craven, and if be fore to-night, why, then the securing of thia bag of coin was no part of your mo tive; bnt Robert being there with his bag of coin was a circumstance, though not counted on, yet to be taken advantage of. and shrewdly the matter was managed. The banker is murdered, the bag of coin disappeared, and the man who stood in the nephew's way Is in the custody of Sheriff Cobb presumably a murderer. And I am left to solve the mystery that surrounds the taking off of a good man. I wondei if Mr. DeRosette left a will, and what that document will reveal? A little time will tell; and now for the grieving mother and sister of the innocent victim of cir cumstances, who is pacing with anxious strides the floor of a cell in the county jail." - Sellars had reached the widow's resi dence on Walnut street. A bright light shone forth from the front windows, and as be stepped on tht piazza a low moaning sound reached hif ears from within. ' "Poor souls," he thought. "I will soon dispel your agonizing -fears, and ere long, I trust, restore to yon your son and broth er." And be rang the door bell. CHAPTER VI. Roger, an old family servant, to whom the detective was well known, opened the door, and as he aaw the tall form of Sel lars before him, the exclamation: "Thank God" fell from his lips. "Vmtr miatresa and her daughter know of the murder, and that Robert is held in custody of the sheriff r "Yes, Mara Lang, yea; Sheriff Cobb brought Mars Robert here, before he take him to jaiL There was a scene.

"Tell the ladles I am nersv ask them " ,k:. nuunon thm aitrJna- room door opened and Jennie Campbell stepped Into the hall, with a handkercmer. to aei "What la It, Roger r' ane asaeo. - -n k y... o.iioa to hid too banish all fear as to any peril your brother may J .. , . .kl- aaaaL aald tha) ' pe.JJt JNfCauaV tag aaj xe ' detective, aa he advanced towards her. "Lang Sellars." "Oh." cried Jennie.' "The great detec tive. But but Robert said that even yon believed him guilty of that terrible crime that you remarked that Sheriff Cobb had apprehended the guilty man. Sure ly, surely, sir " "It is sometimes necessary. Miss Jennie, to divert suspicion from the perpetrators of crime, in order that they may deem themselves secure, and in their fancied se curity to let them rest until they are thoroughly entangled in the network of their own crime, and a chain of evidence be woven about them that will leave no doubt as to their gnilt when they are ar raigned before a bar of justice. 8nch a case la this. So, though seemingly I ac quiesced in Sheriff Cobb's opinion and ap proved of your brother's apprehension, I assure yon that even then I wa fully aware that he had an innocent rcan in custody. Robert Campbell was noi the murderer of Alvin DeRosette." "Bless yon, alrl Bless you! Your as surance will give my mother comfort that the won oX na other could. Not but that she knows Robert to be innocent, but that you, a man whose fame as a detecter of crime, and who, it Is said, reads men's lives, their motives and their thoughts, in their eyea and features, as we ordinary people would in a printed book, have pro nounced him innocent. Please come to my mother, air." "Too flatter me. Miss Campbell," aald the detective, aa he followed her. "I can scarce speak unmerited words of flattery, sir, of the man who saved the life of Herbert Russell." The mother of Robert Campbell sat bowed in grief in a rocker near a table in the center of the room the most bitter grief she had ever known, for her loved son lay incarcerated In Wilmington jail, and the foul crime of murder vis charg ed against him. "Mother!" exclaimed her daughter, "here is one, who will drive away your agonizing fears, one who will assure you of my brother's innocence." "If I could have the assurance of one man alone In all this broad land," said the widow, "that he believed my son inno cent of a foul crime of which I know hi to be not the perpetrator, my heart would be comforted. But alas, he also has con demned my boy. You know of whom 1 speak, daughter the great Southern de tective." t "Madam," aald Sellars, deeply moved "he whom yon indicate, from motives now known to your daughter, or partly so. it is true, did seemingly approve of the apprehension of your son, but let me as sure you that In his heart there rests not a single doubt of your son's innocence. To assure yon of that fact, and in a measure relieve yon of anxiety, he is here." At the first sound of the detective's voice Mrs. Campbell had raised her tear stained eyes to his face, and now a deep sob burst from her breast, and for a mo ment she seemed choking with emotion: then recovering in a degree her composure. sne extended one band to the detective. "The Lord be praised" she exclaimed. "Lang Sellars! With him assured of my boy's innocence, with Robert nnder his protecting care, all ia well. My daughter, we have nothing to fear. We will banish our tears and moans. God bless yon, sir!" (To be continued.) ED WARD THRING HEAD MASTER A MoatRemarknble Man In the Kcience of 1 duration. Soon after the death of Edward riiring, thirty-four years head-master of Uppingham School, a member of Parliament said to his biographer: "Tbrlng was the most remarkable Christian man of this generation. Be cause he was the first man in England to assert openly that in the economy of God's world a dull boy bad as much right to have his power, such as It is. fully trained as a boy of talent, and that no school did honest work which did not recognize this truth as the ba sis of its working arrangements." When Thring became head-master of Uppingham, a "falre, free grammar school" founded In 1584, It bad twenty seven pupils. On his departure from bis life-work the school numbered over four hundred pupils. The schoolmas ter, as he called himself, had a passion ate conviction tbat education was. In a special sense, a work of God. That conviction was his starting-point for school work. One night he had the gratification of bearing a statement that cheered him greatly because it disclosed the forma tive influence of his teachings. A gen tleman, lecturing In the schoolroom on Education," told an anecdote Illustra tive of the value of a teacher's Influ ence. .A boy, traveling on foot in France, full of spirit and life, had been asked by his companions to start early on Sunday to have a long day. The boy refused. Being pressed, he said: 'No, I will not do it; the head-mas ter will not like it" The other boys laughed, and said that the head-mnster was five hundred miles tway; his excuse was nonsense. But thetr jeering did not change his purpose. Then the lecturer turned round teward Mr. Thring, and said: "Tbat boy was from Uppingham; that hend-master was you, sir." The school cheered. The bead-master, greatly moved, rose and said, "I am sure you will all thank the lecturer; you must feel what I feel deeply. I thank the school for giving one such boy. I think there are many such boys among you." Youth's Companion. Musical Notes. The copywrlght on "Parsifal" ex pires In 1913. Sauer Is taking a holiday in Inter laken, Switzerland.

Icsiruct.ve Desert pilaw ef tha V ariana fctepa by Which tha Blmak Paper la Made to Become the Beantifnl Wall Covering! W Know. The mannfacture of wall paper 1 singularly Interesting First. web of blank paper Is set In a reel behind a Diotcning machine; two cylinders bring the free end of the paper into the machine, where a roller working In a color pan puts a large quantity of color upon the paper in batches. Then a set of flat brushes, called Jiggers, brush quickly back and forth, thus spreading the coloring matter evenly over the surface of the paper. As the paper cbmes from the blotch ing machine a workman takes one end of It, wraps It around a stick and places the stick across two parallel endless chains, and the paper Is thua carried up an Incline. When eighteen feet of It has run out, the chains take up another stick that lies across them, and carry It up as they did the firs) stick; a third stick soon follows th second, and thus the work continue until the entire web of paper has been run out of the blotching machine. The chains, In their working, bang the paper In loops over a system oi team pipes, and It Is thus thoroughly artel before It reaches the end of th chalnwork, where it Is again wound into web form. Wall paper designs are first sketched on paper, and then transferred to rott ers of the size required. It Is neces sary to prepare as many rollers a there are colors in the design; thus, If the design requires printing in eight colors, eight rollers must be prepared. When all of the rollers are ready the arUst directs his workmen and each one Is given a color. A workman to whom that color has been given takes roller to his bench, sets It firmly Is the grasp of a rise, and, with ham mers, flies, brass, rlatbons, and brasi rods, goes to work. Every bit of the leslgn that Is to bo in green is traced nt. for him, and he carefully repro luces It In relief on the roller. When his work Is finished, the rollet bears on Its face, in raised brass, green stems, leaves, etc., and at the propel time and place will put the green coloring and shading Just where the designer Intended It should be. In like manner the other rollers are made read; for use, ind ttey are4b.en taken to a press that has a large cylinder oT the width of ordinary wall paper. There are grooves around the sldef and the bottom of the cylinder, intc which are fitted the rods on the endf of the rollers, and, when in position, the faces of the rollers Just touch tht cylinder. An endless cloth band nhhh to each of the rollers from bolow, each band works in a color pan, which con tains. In liquid form, the coloring mat ter to be carried on the roller to which the band belongs. Each roller Is placed In such position that the part of the design upon It will itrike exactly In the spot necessitated y$ the relative position of the other rollers. When all Is ready the paper that baa passed through the blotching machine is placed between the cylinder and the first roller, the cylinder and the roll ers revolve rapidly, and soon the pa per Is beautifully printed. At each of the endless cloth bands there is a steel scraper called a doctor, and It Is the doctor's duty to prevent too much liquid from the other pans from get ting on the rollers. The wall paper press throws off ten rolls of paper a minute, and eacS roll contains sixteen yards. It is said thai stamped paper for walls was flrsl manufactured In Holland about the rear 1555. Some of the very costly wall paper In use nowadays Is beau tifully embossed and hand-painted.- Philadelphia Times. ROWS IN CENTRAL AMERICA. devolutions There Are a Regular jfld anmmer Inatitntion. "These reported revolutions In South America need excite no alarm." says a. trader who knows the five republics like a book. "They are the regular midsummer revolts, and are one of the most cherished Institutions of the country. Without them the populace would expire of ennui. You see. the ierage native, except In the few large towns, has absolutely no diversions Nature relieves blm of the necessity to toll, and all he has to do Is to lie -.(111 and breathe. When he desires to smoke his wife rolls cigarettes, lights them and places them tenderly be tween his lips. Of course, tbat Is an ideal existence, but It lacks variety, ind at least once a year even a Cen tral American will feel a craving for sxcltemenL That is where the regu lar annual revolution comes In. In a :-ertaln sense It takes the place of bull Sghtlng or lynchings, and, compared with either of these sports, the casual ties are trifling. "It Is a mistake, too. to suppose that the established governments regard revolutions with disfavor. Not at alL On the contrary it would be very bard to get along without them, for each revolt is Invariably followed by a num ber of confiscations, and the national treasury is thus replenished. More ver, an opportunity Is afforded for a Di(; military carnival, a fan-fare of trumpets, a waving of banners, and a f rotecnnlcal display of proclama tions. It is the great event of the year and after it is all over the patriots dis perse to their palm-leaf domiciles and rest up for the next demonstration. Understand, please, tbat I am speak jig of the periodical, perennial revo lutions, not the Irregular outbreaks of ilibusterers and conspirators. The tied summer revolution Is,. as I said Wore, an old established national In stitution, like a festa, and any attempt :o do away with It 'would certainly ?ad to trouble possibly to bloodshed. Intensity of Sunlight. In order to measure distances, aur fccea, volumes, time and force, stand ird units were long ago found Indis pensable, and thia Is, at lutely so In detanalalac or the quantity of light In any laatlBoes body. This unit is the Intensity of tka ugnt or the standard candle, which Is a perm candle weighing ona slTtTtt of a pound and burning 120 grains aa hoar. By this means It is found by astron omers tbat the Intensity of tha sunlight Is such that when the sun la In the sen Ith It illuminates a white surface about 30,000 times as strongly aa a standard ?andle at a distance of thirty-nine Inch ps. Comparing, then, sunlight with thai f the full moon, the surprising result Is arrived at that the .former la about 300,000 times tbat of the Utter. Again, the Interesting fact Is now established that Of all the different kinds of artl flclal light that can be produced as yet by man, the most lntecae Is the bril liant spot in the so-named crater of aa electric arc. but, dazzllngly brilliant at It 4s, It is but one-third as bright aa th lurface of the sun Itself. Among the attractions of the Paris exposition next year In to be an arti ficial volcano, which will eject flame and smoke, and simulate the flowing of a stream of Incandescent lava. The volcano will stand on the bank of the Seine, and wil) be 828 feet In height. While the framework Is to be of Iron and steel, the exterior will be covered with turf, trees and shrubs, and by shaded paths visitors wlU be able tc ascend to the crater at the summit. Although tobacco first became knowc to the civilized world through the dl Bovery of America, where the natives ;ultJvated and smoked It. yet about two-thirds of the world's yearly prod act Is now produced In th? Eastern Hemisphere. The total product Is esti mated at 1,900,000,000 pounds, of whii-t America produces :.M),OuO,000. Cuba, whose tobacco Is reckoned the finest of all, produces only C2.000.000 pouuds, being far exceeded In respect to quan tity by the State of Kentucky, whose product U put at 1S5 000,000 pounds. The common belief that steel and Iron tecoine brittle and more liable to break when subjected to-great cold Is contra llcted byj the results of experiments made at Cornell University. It has been ahown there tbat the strength of steel ind wrought roa !s least at a tem perature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and that It Increases when the temperature efthWYteei o?TaIS7rtha4hat point.

In view of the rapid disappearance oi the herds of .elephants which formerly roamed in Africa, and the limited num ber of those animals remaining In Asia. Dr. R. Lydekker calls attention to the enormous supply of ivory which exists in the frozen tundras of Siberia, and which, he thinks, "win probably suffice for the world's consumption for many years to come." This Ivory consists of the tusks of the extinct species of ele phant called mammoths. The tusks of these animals were of great size, and are wonderfully abundant at some places In Siberia, where the frost hae perfectly preserved them, and In many cases has preserved the flesh of tb animals also. A table In Science shows that Canada leads all other countries In the extent of ker forests.. She possesses 799,230, 720 acres of forest-covered land, ai against 450,000,000 acres in the Unltec States. Russia is credited with 498,. 240,000 acres, about 48,000,000 more than the United States. India cornea next with 110,000,000 acres. Germany has 84,347,000 acres, France 23.400,450, and the British Islands only 2,095,000. The table does not Include Africa or South America, both of which contain Immense forests. It may surprise some readers to learn that the percentage of forest-covered land Is larger In several European countries. Germany for In itance, than In the United States. Ixng Service.

Poultry and meat, on being served cold, may be Improved In appearance by glazing. The process Is simple. An excellent glaze may be found by dis solving a half ounce of gelatine In a pint of water, flavoring and coloring It with extract of beef. To be perfectly successful, the meat must be cold be fore the glaze la put on, and the first coat should be allowed to dry before the second Is put on. The glaze must be warm and applied with a brush.

Calmagc Sahjaet: Tha Chariot of Trinmph Kallg loa Uapraaaata Lira. Nat tha Orava Ad vie Aboat Physical Health and Irtoriptlon For Prolonging LlfovJ, lOopyrtsht. Lotus Klopsch, 1SW.1 WASBisaroH, D. O. In this discourse Or. Taimage gives proscriptions for tha prolongation ot lite and oratories tu gos pel of pbrslcal health. The t-xt Is Panlins x.-l., 16, "With long Ufa Willi satisfy Mm." Through the mistake of Its friends relig ion has been chiefly associated with sick beds and graveyards. The whole subject to many people is odorous with chlorine and carbolic acid. Tlinre are people who canuot pronounce the word religion with out hearing in it the clipping ehisel ot the tombstone cotter. It Is high time tbat tbls thing were changed and that religion, instead ot being represented as a hearse to carry out the dead, should be represeu ed as a chariot in watch the living arw to triumph. Ilellglon, so fnr from suhtraotlng from one's vitality. Is a glorious addition. It is sanative, curative, hygienic. It Is good for the eyes, good for the enr, good for the spleen, good tortile digestion, good for the nerves, good for the muscles. When David in another part of the psalm prays tbat re ligion maybe dominant, he does not speak of It as a mild sickness or an emanclation or aa attack of mor il and spiritual cramp. Be speaks ot It as "the saving health ot all nations," while God in the text promises longevity to the pious, saying, "With long life will I sarlsty him." The fact is that men and woman die too soon. It Is high time tbat religion joined the hand ot medi cal science In uttemptlng to improve human longevity. Aditra lived 930 years. Methuse lah lived 969 years. As late In the history .of the world as Vespasian there were at one time in bis empire forty-five people 135 years old. 8o far down as the sixteenth ceDtury Peter Znrtan died at 185 years of age. I do not say tbat religion will ever take the race back to antediluvian longe vity, but I do say the length of lite will be increased. It is said In Isaiah, "The ohlld shall die a hundred years old." Now, if, according to Scripture, the child is to be a hundred years old, may not the men and women reach to 300 and 400 aud 500? The fact Is tbat we are mere dwarls and skeletons compared with some of the generations that are to come. Take the African race. They have been under bondage for centur ies. Give them a ebance, and they de velop a Frederick Dontrlass cr a Toussamt Tu'Ouverture. And, If the white race shall be brought from under the serfdom of sin, what shnll be the body, what shall be the soul? Bxliglon bos only jnst touched oui world. O i ve It full power for a few cen turies, and who can tell what will be the strength cf man and the beauty of woman and the longevity of all? My leslgn to show that praetleal religion Is the friend of long life. I prove It, ilrst, from the fact tbat It makes the care of our health a positive Christian duty. Whether we shall keep early or late hours, whether we shall take food digestible or indigesti ble, whether there shall be thorough or In complete mastication, are questions very I often deferred to the realm of whimsicality, - VttonSain miS ,l,ta thto wuol I problem of beam mtoTlW-accountableand tha divine. Be says, "God 'Wren me tbls body, and He has called it . -nple of the Holy Ghost, and to defaee .

The Christian man says to himself, "It I hurt my nerves, it I hurt my brain, it I hurt any of my physical faculties, I inolt God and cnll for dire retribution." Why did God te I the Levites not to otter to Him in sacriUce animals imperfect and diseased? He meant to tell us in all the nges that we are to offer to God our very best physical condition, and a man who through Irregu lar or gluttonous eating ruins bis health is not offering to God such a sacrillce. Wbv did Paul write for bis clonk at Troas? Why should such a great man as Paul be anx ious about a thing so iosignillcant as an overcoat? It was because he knew that with pneumonia and rheumatism he would not be worth half as much to God and tbe church as with respiration easy and foot free. An intelligent Christian man would con sider it an absurdity to kneel down at night and pray and ask God's protection while at the same time he kept the windows of bis bedroom tight shut ac-ninst fresh air. He would just as soon think of going out on the bridge between Mew York and Brooklyn, leaping off and then praying to God to keep him from getting hurt. Just as long as you refer this whole subject of physical health to tbe realm of whimsical ity or to the pastry cook or to the bntc'ier or to tbe baker or to tbe apothecary or to the elotbler you are not aotlng like a Christian. Take care ot all your physical forces nervous, muscular, bone, brain, cellular tissue for all you must be brought tojudgment. Smoking your nervous sys tem Into fidgets, burning out the coating of your stomach with wine logwooded and strychnlned, walking with thin shoes to make your feet look delicate, pinched at tbe waist until you ara nigh cut In two and neither part worth anything, groaning about sick headache and palpitation of the heart, which you think came from God, When they came from your own folly! n nni ngut nos any man or woman to de face the temple of the Holy Ghost? What Is the ear? It is the whispering gallery of the soul. What Is the eye? It Is the ob servatory God constructed, its telescope sweeping tbe heavens. What is the band? An Instrument so wonderful that, when tbe Earl of Brldgewater bequeathed in his will 40,000 for treatises to be written on the wisdom, power and goodness of God, Sir Charles Bell, the great English anatomist and surgeon, found bis greatest I lustration In the construction ot the human band, devoting his whole book to that subject. So wonderful are these bodies that God names His own attributes after different parts of them. His omnis cience it Is God's eye; His omni presence it Is God's ear; 11 is omnipo:ence It is God's arm; the upholstery of the midnight heavens it is the work of God's Angers; bis life-giving power it is tne breath of the Almighty; his dominion "the government shall be upon bis shoul der." A body so divinely honored and so di vinely constructed, let us be cn refill not to abuse it. When it becomes a Christian duty to take eare of our health. Is not tbe whole tendency toward longevity? If I loss my watch about recklessly and drooit on the puvemeot an I wird It up any time ot day or night I happen to think of It and often let it run down, while you are care ful with your wnte.iaud never abuse It and wind It up just at the same hour every nlfe-nt and put it in a place whore it will not snffer from the violent changes of at mospbere.whlch watch will last tne longer? Common sense answers. Now, tbe buman body is God's watob. You see the hands of tbe watch, you see tbe face of the watch; but tbe beating of the heart Is the ticking of tbe watch. Be careful and do not let it ran down. Attain, I remark that practical religion is a friend of longevity In tbe fact tbat it is a protest against dissipations, which In jure and destroy the health. Bad men and women live a very short life. Their sins kill them. I know hundreds ol good old nen, but I do not know half a dozen bo i old men. Why? They do not get old. Lord Byron died at MissolonghiatSSyear ot age, himself his own Mazeppa, bis un bridled passions tbe horse that dashed with blm lrro tbe desert. Edgar A. Poo died at Baltimore at SS years of age. Tue Maek raven that alighted on tbe bust above his door was delirium tremens Only this and nothing more. Kn poison Bonaparte live! only just be voud midlife, then died at St. Helena, aud oue of his doctors said that bis disease was Induced by excessive snufOng. Tbe hero )f Austerlits, the man who by fne step of his toot In the center ot Europe shook the siirth, killed by a sou II box! How many people we have knowu who have not lived ant half their days because ot their disspn lions and indulgences! Now, practical religion is a protest against all dissipa Hons of any kind. "But," you say, "professors of religion have fallen, professors of religion have got drunk, professors of religion have misap propriated trust funds, professors of rnllg. Ion have absconded." Yes, but they threw away their religion before they did tbeir morality. If a man on a White Star line steamer, bound for Liverpool, in mid Atlantic jumps overboard and Is drowned, is that anything against the White Star line's capacity to tabe the man across the ocean? And If a man jumps over the gun wale of his religion and goes down never to rise. Is tbat any reason for your believ ing that religion has no capacity to take :he maa clear through? Ia the one case. if he had kept to the steamer, bis body would have been saved; In the other case, If he had kept to his religion, his morals would have been saved. There are aged people who would have been dead twenty-live years ago but for the defenses and the equipoise of religion. You have no more natural resistance than hundreds of people who lie In the ceme teries, to-day slain by their own vices. Tbe doctors made their case as kind and pleasant as they could, and It was called congestion of the brain or something else, but tbe snak and the blue flies tbat seemed to crawl overthe pillow lathe sight of the delirious patient showed what was the matter with him. You, tbe aged Christian man, walked along by that un happy one until you came to the golden pillar ot a Christian life. You went to the right; he went to the left. Tbat Is all the difference between you. It this religion is protest against all forms ot dissipation, then it is an Illustrious friend of longevity, "With long life will I satisfy him." Again, religion Is a friend ot longevity In tbe fact that It takes the worry out of our temporalities. It is not work tbat kills men; It is worry. When a man becomes a genuine Christian, he makes over to God not only his affections, but his family, hU business, bis reputation, bis body, his mind, his soul, everything. Industrious he will be, but never worrytug, becnuse God I? mannglng his affairs. How can he worry about business when la answer to ills pray ers God tells blm when to bny and when to sell? And If he gain, that is best, aud If ha lose, tiat is best. Suppose you bad a supernatural nei :h bor who came In and said: ".Sir, I want you to call on me In every exigency, tain four fast friend. I could full back on i'iO, 500,000. I can foresee a panic ten year.-. I hold the controlling stock In thirty of the best monetary Institutions ot New York. Wbonever you are in trouble call ou me, and I will help you. You can have my money, and you can have my influence. Here is my band in pledge for it." now much would you worry about business? Why, you would say, "I'll do the best I can, and then I'll depend on my friend's generosity for the rest." Now, more than tbat is promise,! to every Cbris-.ian business man. God says to him: "I own New York and Londou and ut. Petersburg and Pekin. and Australia nnd California are mine. I can foresee a panic a hundred years. I have all tbe resources ot the universe, and I um your fast friend. When vou get in business trouble or any other trouble, call on Me, and I will help. Here is My hand in piedgo of omntpoteut deliverance. How much should tbat man rororry? Not much. What lion wllf dure to oawHiuai, ifaniotr ta lame not , , y v . ' tlonta . who askud God-tur a blowu.jg, ... n , enterprise, and be lost 5000 lu itf Explain tbat." J I will. Yonder is a factory, and one Wheel is going nortb,.and the other wheel is going south, and one wheel plays laterally and the other plays vertically. I go to the manufacturer and I say: "O manufacturer, your machinery is a con tradiction! Why do you not make all tbe wheels go one way?" "Well," ho says, "I made them to go ia opposite directions on purpose, and they produce the right re sult. You go down stuirs nnd ex.imlue tbe carpets we are turning out in this establishment and you will see." I go down on the other floor, and I see the carpets, and I am obliged to confess that, though the wheels In tbst factory go lu opposite directions, they turn out a beauti ful result, and while I am standing there looking at the exquisite fubrie aa old Scripture passage comes into my mind, "All things work together for good to them who love God." Is there not n tonlo In that? Is there not longevity lu that? Suppose a man is all tbe tltpe worried about his reputation? One man says he lies, another man says he Is stupid, an other says he is dishonest, and half a dozen printing establishments attack him, and he Is in a great state of excitement and worry and fume and cannot sleep, but religion comes to htm and says: "Man, God is on your siue. ne win take care of your repu tation. If God be for you, who can be against you?" How much should thnt man worry about his reputation? Not much. It that broker who some years ago in Wall street, after he bad lost money, sat down and wrote a farewell letter to his wife be fore he blew his bruins out If, Instead ol taking out of his pocket a pistol, be bad taken out a well read New Testament, there would have been one le-s sniaide. O nervous and feverish peoplo of the world, try.this almighty sedative! Yon will live twenty-live years longer under its soothing power. It is not chloral that you want or morphine that you want. It is the gospel of Jesus Christ. "With long life will I satisfy blm." Again, practical religion Is a friend of longevity in the fact that It removes nil cor roding care about a future existence. Every man wants to know what is to he. Before I had this matter settled with refer ence to my future existence the question almost worried me into ruined health. The anxieties men have upon this subject put togotber would make a martyrdom. Tills Is a state of awful unbealtuiuess. There are peoplo who fret themselves to dentil for fear of dying. I want to take the strain off your nerves and the de pression off your soul, and I make two or three experiments. Experi ment first: Wben you go out of this world. It does not make any difference whether you have been good or bad, whether you believed truth or error, you will go straight to glory. "Impossth e," you say. "My common sense as well as my religion teaahes that the bad and the good cannot live together forever. You give me no comfort In that experiment." Experiment the second: When you leave this world, you will go into an intermediate state, where you can get converted and prepared for heaven. "Impossible," you say. "As the tree falletb, so must It lie, and I cannot postpone to an inter mediate state reformation which ought to have been effected in this state." Experi ment the third: There is no future world. Wben a man diej, that is the last of blm' Do not worry about what von are to do In another state of being. You will not do anything. "Impossible," you say. "There Is something tbat tells me tbat death Is not the appendix, but the prerace to life. There is something that tells me thnt on this side of the grave I only got started nd that I shall go on forever. My powet to think snys -forever;' my affections say :forver;' ray capacity to enjoy or suiter forever.'" Analyses made recently by the agricultural department in Germany showed that of 657 samples of fertil izers. 198 were adulterated, and of the samples of bran 74.1 per cent, were adulterated. One of the perils of the Philippines is manifested in the case of Hugh Baker, a discharged soldier, who has just returned to his home, in Hazleton, Pa. While in Manila a sea-fly bit him on the right eye, destroying the sight. The other eye is now affected, and it ia feared total blindness will result. The lily of the " valley contains prussic acid. It is thought danger ous to put the stalks in a person's mouth, because If the sap chances to get into a crack in the lips an an noying swelling is produced. 1 ;; m - - - ..V i 5 i i n 1 , h pi in V: ;.f.: -! - -
