SERMONS 01'' THE I)AY. DELICIOUS TOPICS DISCUSSED BY PROMINENT AMERICAN MINISTERS. "Four Anchors'* Is the Title •>•" the Thir teenth Sermon In tlie New \orlt Herald's Competitive Series—Or. Tal mage I'reaclies a Sermon to Sisters. TEXT: "They cast four anchors out of the stern."—Acts'xxvii., 29. The symbolism of tho text is striking and suggestive. Many lives have boon ship wrecked for tho need of anchors holding them to steadfastness. However deep we may feel the waters to bo through which wo are sailing, we are often nearer tho shoals and reefs than is imagined. The first anchor which should be thrown* out is fixedness of purpose. The inner most seoret of successful lives is lu the concentration of power along certain de finite lines. Paul says,"This one thing I do," and the world will ever do him rev erence. Dr. Hudson Taylor says,"This one thing I do," und China is opened as never before to higher ideals and larger visions of life. The Earl of Shaftesbury says,"This one thing I do," and ho goes down to the Holboru viaduct, in London, and the bootblacks and hucksters and street arabs and costormongors are trans formed. The great names in art, in science, in philosophy and in finance are always identified with pain and purpose. Life is ,'iower, but power undirected is lost. Only constant striking on the same spot makes an impression. Purpose connects and unifies our months and years and makes of them all but parts of a single whole. Each day ought to be a link tempered and wolded into the chain of a completed life. Three-fourths of men's failures may bo attributed to tho lack of purpose. The house can scarcely be constructed without a plan; how much loss can a human life be fashioned without a conception of what it will be when finished? Plan must precede construction; the ldoal before tho realiza tion, the purpose before the accomplish ment. Only tlie man who aims will strike the mark. Turn your life into a definite channel; lot it not cover too much terri tory, for it is the deeply flowing stream which cuts away the obstructions and at last reaches the isea, while the stream which spreads itself in shallowness goes sliently into the swamp-land and its life is ended. The analysis of every completed life reveals a central point about which energy and emotion and devotion cluster themselves. But purpose to exert Its Influence must be accompanied by perseverance, so cast out the second anchor. Here Is a vast dif ference between the aim and the accom plishment. Perseverance is tbo bending of the bow to send the shaft at the target, and the bow is the will. "I will fight it out on this line if it takes nil summer," Says tho great general. That is the spirit which conquers. No sooner have our plans been 4raftod or our purpose fixed than cir cumstances and difllculties seem to con spire to defeat and ruin them. Many a man has seen his star in tho east, but only here and tliero lias one been possessed of the courage and devotion to follow it over an unbeaten path until it led him to his treas ure. It is blood earnestness which tells. Tho man who Is over unconscious of defeat is he who some day will plant his stnndard upon the enemies' ramparts and win the day. He who holds on in tho face of the storm, in spite of discouragements, calmly suffering temporary delays, is he who final ly secures his crown and ills reward. Shall we complain of difficulties when a thou sand fingers nro pointing at wonderful achievements, made nfter overcoming tre mendous obstacles? Hjlen Kellnr, without ight, without hearing, without language, oresses on until sho passes tho entrance examinations to Harvard University. John Bunyan, tlio drunken tinker of Bedford, rises to tho authorship of "Pilgrim's Prog ress." It Is half-heartedness which falls, but the "doing with thy might" which suc ceeds. Beforo a determined will and a passionate "evotion men will stand aside and let you pass—thoy cunnotholp It; diffi culties Ivill vanish—they cannot withstand you; obstruction will bo crushed—their puny strength deserts them. Then, in order to make perseverance possible, anchor the third, faith in one's self. Too often tho estimate of our power falls far short of what it really is. Emer son's word, "Trust thyself," carries with it a true philosophy, for one may not achieve until there is a firm belief iu one's own soul. If we rate our ideal at 100 and our power at fifty the accomplishmont will be but one-half. Tho great erlmo men com mit against themselves is not in overjudg ing. but in underjudglng. My self-set limitations determine tho extent of my achievement. Aud what right has man, born in tho imago of God, with unknown and undeveloped powers standing beforo a hiddon futuro, to measure and to circum scribe his capabilities and to limit his pos sibilities of success in the construction of life? Only God may measure man, for only God knows tho height the Individual may reach. Men who to-day nre almost meas ureless in their intellectual sweep nre they who have not dared with compass and rule to sot tneir bounds. This is not conceit, but a respect fortheuntouched,undreamed of potency of your own soul. So then, believe not only in your ideal, but in the possibility of realizing it. And then the fourth anchor, faith in God. Ve may imagine Paul as tho last anchor is 'irown out calling to the sailors, "Men, sit hold?" and the answer coming back, •; the rope Is tuut; we do not seethe i down below the waves, but the r holds." Ah! that is the blessed ex ■*) of life; this anchor always grasps 1 rock, the unseen rock of God! j aeots man with Omnipotence, a, conductor which places at our dt fine grace and power. This Is Jtimifiy of every child of faith. "I o nil tlings through Him." This is >oweri(ot our own which may be ap prlated. And thore are times when the ety of tho whole life depends upon this ■clior. The aichor of purpose may bo islodged and fiuijg high upon the shore by iorm and tempest; the anchor of perse erance may bo wo f n away by tho fretting iio and the cutting sands, the anchor of faith may snap in\Jwain in some fearful crisis when the straii.'. Is groat and the heart is sick, but awav dow.n below tho crashing billows of passion and temptation rests the anchor of faltli embedded in tho heart of God. So let us live with a noble purpose worthy the patient endeavor aud unfalter ing devotion we bestow upon it,mindful of our own undiscovered ri£jurces and hold ing fast to the might of God. Rev. CHARI.ES Axwoon CAMPBELL 7 irst Presbyterian Church, Providence', R. I. FOR CIRLS. Rev. Dr. Talmaee Preaches Directly to tlie Sisters. TEXT: "And his sister stood afar off to witness what would be done to him."—Ex i ii., 4. incess Thermutls, daughter of Pha , looking out through the lattice of her Ing-house on the banks of the Nile, n curious boat on the river. It had ler oar nor helm, and they would have useless anyhow. There was only one enger, and that a baby boy. Tho boat made of the broad leaves of papyrus, coned together by bitumen. "Kill all Hebrew children born," had been Pha- I'S order. To save her boy, Jochebed, not her of little Moses, had put him in at queer boat and launched him. His r, Miriam, stood on tho bank watching precious craft. She was far enough il to draw attention to tho boat, but enough to offer protection. There tands on the bank—Miriam, tho poet- Miriam, the quick-witted; Miriam, the ful; thought very human, for in after a she '• wai the sister nf Moses, u good t*. an. important thing, a glorious thing when she watched the boat woven of river plants and made water-tight with asphaltum, carrying its one passen ger? Did sho not put all the ages of time and of a coming eternity under obligation when she defended her helpless brother from the perils aquatic, reptilian and ravenous? She it was that brought that wonderful babe and its mother together, so that he was reared to bo the deliverer of his nation, when otherwise, if saved at all from the rushes of the Nile, he would have been only one more of tlio God-defying Pha roahs; for Princess Thermutls, of the bath ing-house, would have inherited the crown of Egypt; and, as she had no child of her own, this adopted child would have come to coronation. Had there been no Miriam there would have been no Moses. What a garland for a faithful sisterhood! Miriam was the oldest of the family; Moses and Aaron, her brothers, were younger. Oh the power of the elder sister to help decide the brother's character for usefulness and for heaven! She can keep off from her brother more evils than Miriam could have driven back water-fowl or croco dile from the ark of bulrushes. The older sister decides the direction in which tlio cradlo boat shall sail. By gentleness, by good sense, by Christian principle she can turn it toward the palace, not of a wicked Pharaoh, but of a holy God; and a brighter princess than Thermutls should lift him out of peril, even religion, whose ways are ways of pleasantness and all her pntbs are peaoe. The older sister, how much the world owes herl Born while yet the family was in limited circumstances, she had to hold and tako care of her younger brothers. Aud if there is anything that excites my sympathy, It is a little girl lugging around a great fat child aud getting her ears boxed because she can not lceop him quiet! By the time she gees to young womanhood she is pale and worn out, and her attrac tiveness has been sacrificed on the altar of sisterly fidelity and she is consigned to celibacy, and society call her by an unfair name; but in heaven thev call her Miriam. Let sisters not begrudge the time and care destowed on n brother. It is hard to believe that any boy that you know so well as your brother can ever turu out anything very useful. Well, ho may not bo a Moses. There is only one of that kind needed for six thousand years. But I tell what your brother will be—either a blessing or a curse to society, and a candidate for happi ness or wretchedness. He will, like Moses, have the choice between rubies and living coals, and your influence will have much to do with Ills decision. He may not, like Moses, be the deliverer of a nation, but he may, after your father and mother are gone, be the deliverer of a household. What thousands of homes to-day are piloted by brothers! There are properties now well invested and yielding income for the support of sisters and younger brothers because the older brother rose to the leadership from the day the father lay down to die. Whatever you do for your brothers will come back to you again. Don't snub him. Don't depreciate his ability. Don't talk discouragingly about his future. Don't let Miriam get down off the bank of the Nileand wade out and upset the ark of bulrushes. Dou't tease him. Don't let jealousy over touch a sister's soul, as it so often does, because her brother gets more honor or more means. Even Miriam, the heroine of the text, was struck by that evil passion of jealousy. Sho had possessed unlimited influence over Moses, aud now he marries, and not only so, but marries a black woman from Ethiopia: aud Miriam is so disgusted and outraged at Moses,first because hejhad marriedat all,and next because he had practiced mlsce tiou.fthat she is drawn into n frenzy, and then begins to turn whito, and gets white as a corpse, and then whiter than a corpse. Her comploxlon is like chalk, the fact Is, sho lias the Egyptian leprosy. Aud now the brother whom she had defended on the Nile comes to hor rescue in a prayer that brings her restoration. Let there bo no room in nil your house for jealousy either to sit or stand. It is a leprous abomina tion. Your brother's success, O slstors, is your success. His victories will be your victories. If you only knew it, your interests are identical. Of all the families of the earth that ever stood together, perhaps the most conspicuous is the family of the froths-' ohilds. As Slayer Anselm Rothschild was about to die, in 1812, he gathered his chil dren about him—Anselm, Solomon, Nathan, Charles and James—and made them promise that they would always be united on 'Change. Obeyiug that injunction, they have been the mightiest commercial power on earth, and at the raising or lowering of their scepter nations have risen or fallen. That illustrates how much, on a largo scale and for selfish purposes, a united family may achieve. But suppose that instead of a magnitude of dollars as the object. It be doing good, and making salutary impres sion, aud raising this sunken world, how much more ennobling! Sister, you do your part, and brother will do his part. If Miriam will lovingly watch the boat on the Nile, Moses will help her when leprous dis asters strike. General Bauer, of the Russian cavalry, had In early life wandered off in tho army, and the family supposed he was dead. Af ter he gained a fortune he encamped one day In Husam, his native place, aud made a banquet; and among the great militnry men who were to dine ho invited a plain miller and his wife, who lived near by and who, affrighted, came, fearing some harm would be done them. The miller and his wife were placed one on euch side of the General at the table. The General asked tho miller all about his family, and the miller said that he had two brothers and a sister. "No other brothers?" "My younger brother went off with the army many year? ago, and no doubt was long ago killed." Then the General said: "Soldiers, I am this man's younger brother, whom he thought was dead." And how loud was the oheer. and now warm was the embrace! Brother and sister, vou need ns much ol an introduction to each other as they did. You do not know each other. You thlnk your brother is grouty and cross and queer, und he thinks you are selfish and proud and unlovely. "Both wrong! Thnt brother will be a prince in some woman's eyes, and that sister a quoen iu the estimation ol some man. That brother is a magnificent fellow, and that sister is a morning in June. Come, let me Introduce you; "Moses, this is Miriam." "Miriam, this is Mosos." Add seventy-five per cent, to your present ap preciation of each other, and when you kiss good morning do not stick up youi cold cheek, wet from tho recent washing, as though you hated to touch each others lips in affcotionato caress. Let it have all the fondness and cordiality of a loving sis ter's kiss. I read of a child in the country who was detained tit a neighbor's house on astormj night by some fascinating stories that wore being told him, and then looked out and saw it was so dark be did not dare go homo The incident impressed me the more be cause in my childhood I had much the same experience. The boy asked his com rades togo with him, but they dared not It got later and later--7 o'clock, 8 o'clock, 9 o'clock. "Ob," he said, "I wish I were home!" As ho opened the door the last time a blinding flash of lightning and a deafening roar overcame him. But aftei awhile he saw in the distance a lantern and lo! his brother was coming to fotcli him home, and the lad stepped out and with swift feet hastened onto his brother who took him home, where they were sc glad to greet him, and for a long time sup per had been waiting. So may it be when the night of death comes and our earthly friends nan not go with us, and wo dare " ot S° alone; may our Brother, our eldet Hrother, our Friend closer than a brother come out to meet us with tho light of the promises, which shall be a lantern to oui feet; und then we will go lo to joiu oui loved ones waiting for us, supper all ready, the marriage supper of the Lamb!

Glass is just as smooth, but you couldn't possibly skate on it. If you doubt it try your skates on a piece o! glass and see whether they will slip or not. The reason why ice is slippery and glass is not is very simple. Ice alwny 4 melts a little under pressure and fric tion. When the steel of the skate touches it a little water is formed,and this acts as ii! between the skate and the ice, and the skater slips merrily nlong. The expression in regard to glare ice, "It's as slippery as if it had been greased," is not far wrong. On glass this liquid lubricator is lacking, and the friction between the skate and the glass renders slipping impossible. Put two pieces of glass together with a few drops of water between them, and sen how easily they will slip about, one over the other.—Chicago Record. A furious Incident. Horses will form strong attachments for dogs, but it does not often happen that a horse derives any real benefit from having a canine friend. The fol lowing case will show that a dof /nay sometimes return a horse's aff otioii iu a very practical manner. A man living in the conntry had a horso which happened to be turned out just as his carrots were ready for pulling. He also had a dog that was on the best of terms with the horse. One day he noticed that his carrots were disappearing very fast, but he was al most certain that no one had gotten in and stolen them. Still he deter mined to watch and see who was rob bing him. His vigilance was re warded, for he caught the thief in the very act of pulling up the carrots. Then he cautiously followed him from the garden and found that he went oft' iu the direction of the field where the horse was. Arrived there, the owner of the carrots saw that his horse was the receiver of the stolen goods. The thief was his dog. In some way the dog had discovered that the horse had a partiality for carrots, and was unable to gratify its taste; but with a sagacity that is almost incredible, the dog found the means of obtaining the succulent morsels for his friend, and this he did without scruple at his mas ter's expenne. There was something more thau instinct in this dog's head. But any one who takes real notice of the habits and curious doings of ani mals must inevitably come to the conclusion that the theory is not tenable which maintains that animals cannot think and reason. —Detroit Free Press. How a Fox I* Caught. Winter is the propitious season of the hunter and trapper. His game is out and nature obligingly nets the part of detective by spreading her mantle of snow to register their move ments. Each kind of animal possesses its own peculiar habits and strategic methods which must be familiar to the pursuer who hopes for success. Any other denizen of the forest is be lieved to be more easily outwitted than the fox. All know how high his reputation is for caution and cunning, yet he has acquaintances of human kind so intimatel}' acquainted with his ways as to see just how to overcome his scruples and make him an easy victim of the trap. If Reynard has paid a recent visit to the henhouse, or whether he has or not, if his den can be located with ap proximate certainty he may be ap proached in that locality on the sub ject of capture; not in plain language, to be sure; not by open methods, but in accordance with his own stealthy tactics. The tvhole plan rests on the tripod of caution, patience and perse wanca. Take the remainder of the fowl he partly devoured, or, in absence of that, a freshly killed animal, or piece of butcher's meat, and at night place it under a log to which his instincts will be likely to lead him; if hunger is gnawing he will find it—and what fox is not hungry? The treat will not at first be accepted in good faith, but it will be sampled. Repeat the offering the same place night after night, till its daily disappearance shows that his confidence is gained and there is no evidence of hesitancy in his approach. Then set the trap; a strong steel one, well staked and entirely concealed with leaves. He will come as usual for his supper, and this time he be comes a prisoner.—M. A. Hoyt, in Farm, Field and Fireside. The Electric Eel. This curious fish, which exhibits the singular phenomenon of voluntary electric power residing in a living animal, is an inhabitant of the fresh water rivers and ponds of Surinam and other parts of South America, where it was first discovered in the year 1677. The power of emitting an electric shock is apparently given it in order to enable the creature to kill its prey. Those who have seen the electric eel in the Polytechnic while being fed will have little doubt of this. The fish given to it are,directly it becomes aware of their presence, instantly struck dead, and then devoured. This specimen is unfortunately blind, but it has learned to turn in the direction of a paddling in the water, made by the individual who feeds it. The fish is scarcely in the water before a shock from thegymnotus kills it. The usual length of the pymnotus is about three feet. Captain Stedman, in his account of Surinam, gives an account of the electric eel, which he, of course, had many opportunities of seeing. He at tempted, for a trifling wager, to lift up a gv .iuotus in his hands, but accord ing to his own words: '"I tried about twenty different times to grasp it with my hand, but all without effect, receiving just as many electrical shocks, which I felt even to the top of my shoulder. It has been said that this animal must be touched with both hands before it gives the shock, but this I must take the liberty of contradicting, having experienced the contrary effect." The eel mentioned was a small one, only two feet long, but one that, had ar rived at its full growth would have given a very much stronger shock. An English sailor was fairly knocked down by a shock from one of these eels, nor did he recover his senses for some time. It is said that the shock can pass up a stick, and strike the person holding it. Mr. Bryant and a companion were both struck while pouring off ice water from a tub in which the eel had been placed. Humboldt, in his "Views of Na tnre," gives a very animated descrip tion of the method employed by the Indians to take these creatures —• method equally ingenious and cruel. Knowing from experience that th« powers of the gymnotus are not ade quate to a constant volley of shocks, they contrive that shocks shall be ex pended on horses instead of them selves. Having found a pool containing electric eels, they force a troop of wild horses to enter the pool. The dis turbed eels immediately attack in truders and destroy many of them bj repeated shocks; but by constautlj forcing fresh supplies of horses to in vade the pool, the powers of the gym noti become exhausted, and they art then dragged out with impunity.— Detroit Free Press. Corotinutft iu Hawaii. Fivt years ago Hugh Mclntyre im ported 2000 nuts for E. Lindemann, which the latter planted along the sea coast at Wailua, Kauai. Today he has 2000 coeoantit trees in bearing and some of them had fruit when onlj four years old. Mr. Lindemann says that in some places lie had to dig holes in the rocks to get the nuts planted. As copra and cotoanut.it is in great demand, tin product of each tree being worth at a very low estimate 50 cents. You have SIOOO net, or say you value the tree (six years old) at $lO. There you have $20,000 worth of property. Mr. Lindemann has now gone east to sell this year's crop. These are no fancy coffee figures, but facts. You can get one of these beautiful Samoan cocoanuts, sprouted, of Hugh Mcln tyre for 25 cents. They are worth $5. If you have a place to plant them they will increase the value of your lot. After you get them growing these little cocoa palms are worth a dozen of the almost worthless trees* (with fictitious names) that you get from the government nursery for noth ing. The cocoanut is destined to become one of the most valuable products to civilized man.—Honolulu Star. Financial Wrecks.

The city of San Luis Potoai jp build ing a liall that will be the eighth won der of the world. Seveu yearn ago a dozen skilled stone-masons from Pennsylvania were imported to do the ornamental carving of its front. One Fourth of July a member of the party got drunk, and killed a Mexican in a barroom brawl. He was tried, and condemned to be shot. Then arose the certainty that with him in the grave tliere was no one to do the fancy carving on the City Hall. It was decided to keep him at work, and shoot him when he had finished. Every day, in summer's shine and winter's snow, this workman hangs like a fly against the great white wall, and pecks away at gargoyles and grif fins' heads. A file of soldiers stands iu the street looking up at him. His life ends with his job, and they say that he is the most deliberate workman ever in the Mexican Repub lic. At the present rate of progress, according to the best obtainable calcu lations, the front of the City Hall will be sufficiently scrolled and carved about the middle of 1950.—Chicago Times-Herald. Literary Dogs. Some time ago the Kausas City (Kan.) Council passed an ordinance giv ing the public library fifty per cent, of all money derived from dog licenses. This will amount to about $2500 per year. The membership fee to the pub lic library is $1 annually. The pro moters of the free membership scheme claim that by virtue of the ordinance giving the library half of the dog li cense money, the poor people of the city practically support the library. , They argue it is not the rich people who keep dogs, but the poor classes. The license on a female dog is $2.50, while its costs §1.25 per year to harbor a male dog. It is claimed that ninety five per cent, of the money derived from dog licenses comes from the la boring people, and, inasmuch as their money supports the institution, they think it is no more than right that they should be allowed free access to the library. The ordinance will provide that when a person takes out a dog license the city clerk shall issue with it one mem bership to the library.—Topeka (Kan.) State Journal. Advertisement* in Snow. A clever advertising scheme is suc ; cessfully practiced by a Quebec shoe dealer.

The following is ft straightforward statement by n veteran of tile late war. No comrade will need furthor proof thau their friend's own words, as here given. Squire John Castor, of Newpoint, Ind., is the narrator, and an honest, respected citizen he is too. He said: "X have been troubled with rhoumatism in all my joints ever since I went to the war. It was brought on by my exposure there. It came on me gradually, and kept getting worse until I was unable to do any work. I tried several physicians, hut th'sy did me no good. They said my trouble was tism resulting in disease of the heart, anJ that there was no cure for it. Neverthe less I had lived and (ought the disease foi thirty years, and did not intend to die, simply because they said I must, so J I Want to Swear to That. hunted up some remedies for myself, and finally happened on Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pal® People. I asked some of my neighbors about the medicine, for it had been used by several persons in the com munity, and they recommended it very highly. I procured a box. The pills helped me right away, and I continued taking them. I commenced taking them last fall, and finished taking the sixth box n few months ago. I am not bothered with the rheumatism now- the medicine has cured me. 1 can most certainly rec ommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People." These pills are not only good for rheu matism, but are valuable for any disease that arises from impoverished, or bad blood. They do NOT aot on the bowels. There are no fewer than thirty-one Scot tish societies iu London, of which twelvo are associated with Highland counties. How's This ?
