DR. TALMAGES SEBMON. SUNDAY'S DISCOURSE BY THE NOTED DIVINE. Subject: "Herdlne the Slireii"—Pr»Tt That His Flock May listen to tlie Pip ing: of til® Good Shepherd, Bidding: Them to Renounce Sin and A.k Pardon. TEXT: "The Lord is my shepherd."— Psalms xxiii., 1. What with, post and rail fences and our pride in Southdown, Astrakhan and Flem ish varieties of sheep, there is no use now of the old-timo sheplrerd. Such a one had abundance of opportunity of becoming a poet, being out of doors twelve hours a day, and ofttlmes waking up in the night on the hills. If the stars orthe torrents or tbe sun or the flowers had anything to say, he was very apt to hear it. The Et trick Shepherd of Scotland, who afterward took his seat in the brilliant circle of Wil son andLookhart, got his wonderful poetic inspiration in the ten years in which he was watching the flocks of Mr. Laldlaw. There Is often a sweet poetry in the ragged prose of the Scotch shepherd. One of these Scotch shepherds lost his only son, and he knelt down in prayer and was over heard to say, "O Lord, it has seemed good in Thy providence to take from me the staff of my right hand at the time when to us sand Mind mortals I seemed to be most in need of it, and how I shall climb up the hill of sorrow and auld age without It Thou inayst ken, but I dinna!" David, tbe shepherd boy, is watching his father's sheep. They are pasturing on the very hills where afterward a Lumb was born of which you have heard much, "the Lamb of God. Whioh taketh away the sin of the world." David, the shepherd boy, was beautiful, brave, musical and poetic. I think he often forgot the sheep In his reveries. There in the solitude he struck the harp string that is thrilling through all ages. David the boy was gathering the material for David the poet and David the man. Like other boys, David was fond of using his knife among the saplings, nnd he had noticed the exuding of the juice of the tree, nnd when he became a man he said, "The trees of the Lord are full of sap." David the boy, like other boys, had been fond of hunting the birds' nerfts, nnd he had driven the old stork off the nest to flnd how many eggs were under her, and when he became a man ho said, "As for the stork, the fir trees are her house." In boyhood he had heard the terrific thunderstorm that frightened the red deer into prema ture sickness, and when he became a man he said, "The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to calve." David the boy had lain upon his back looking up at the stars and examining the sky, und to his boyish imagination the sky seemed like n piece of divine embroidery, the divine lingers work ing in the threads of light and the beads of stars, and he became a man and wrote, "When I consider thy heavens, tho work of thy Angers." When he became an old man, thinking of the goodness of God, ho seemed to hear the bleating of his father's sheep across many years and to think of the time when bo tended them on the Beth lehem hills, and he cries out in tho text, "The Lord is my shepherd." If God will help me, I will talk to you of the shepherd's plaid, the shepherd's crook, the shepherd's dogs, the shepherd's past ure grounds and the shepherd's flocks. And first the shepherd's plaid. It would be preposterous for a man going out to rough and besoiling work to put on splendid apparel. The potter does not work iu velvet; the serving maid doos not put on satin while toiling at her duties: the shep herd does not wear a splendid robe in which togo out amid the storms and the rocks and the nettles; he puts on the rough ap £arel appropriate to his exposed work. The ord our Shepherd, coming out to hunt the lost sheep, puts on no regal appaael, but the plain garment of our humanity. There was nothing pretentious about it. I know the old painters represent a halo nround the babe Jesus, but I do not suppose that there was any more halo nbout that child than about the head of any other babe that was born that Christmas eve in Judtea. Be coming a man, he wore a seamless garment. The scissors and needle had done nothing to mako it graceful. I take it to have been a sack with three holes in it—one for the neck and two for the arms. Although the gamblers quarreled over it that is no evi dence of its value. I have seen two rag pickers quarrel over tho refuse of an ash barrel. No, in the wardrobe of heaven he left the sandals of light, the girdles of beauty, the robes of power and put on the besoiled and tattered raiment of our hu manity. Sometimes he did not even wear the seamless robe. What is that hanging about the waist of Christ? Is it a badge of authority? Is it a royal coat of arms? No, it is a towel. The disoiples'feet are filthy from tho walk on the long way and are not lit to bo put upon the sofas on which they are to recline at tho meal, and so Jesus washes their feet and gathers them up in the towel to dry them. Tho work of saviug 1 his world was rough work, rugged work, hard work, and Jesus put on the raiment, the plain raiment, of our flesh. Nest I mention the shepherd's crook. This was a rod with a curve at the end, which, when u sheep was going astray, was thrown over its neok, and in that way it was pulled back. When the sheep wore not going astray the shepherd would often uso It as a sort of crutch, leaning on it, but when the sheep were out of the way the crook was always busy pulling them back. All we, like sheep, have gone astray, and had It not been for the Shepherd's crook we would have fallen long ago over the precipices. Here is a man who is making too much money. He is getting very vain. He says: "After awhile I shall be independent of all the world. Oh, my soul, eat, drink and be merry!" Business disaster comes to him. What is God going to do with him? Has God anv grudge against him? Oh, no. God is throwing over him the shepherd's crook and pulling him back into better pastures. Here Is n man Who has always been well. He lias never had any sympathy for in valids. He calls them coughing, wheezing nuisances. After awhile sickness comes to him. He does not understand what God is going to do with him. He says, "Is the Lord angry with me?" Oh, no. With the shepherd's crook he has been pulled back into better pastures. Here Is a happy household circle. Tho parent does not realize tho truth that these children are only loaned to him, and he forgets from what source came his domestic blessings. Sickness drops upon those children and death swoops upon a little one. He says, "Is God nngry with me?" No. His shep herd's crook pulls him back Into better pastures. Ido not know what would have become of us If it had not been for tho shepherd's crook. Oh, the mercies of our troubles! You tako up apples and plums from under the shade of the trees, and the very beat fruits of Christfun character we find in the deep shade of trouble. When I was on the steamer coming across tho ocean, I got a cinder in my eye, and several persons tried to get it out very gently, but It could not be taken out in that wuy. 1 was told that the engineer had a facility In such eases. I went to him. Ho put his large, sooty hand on me, took a knife and wrapped the lid of the eye around the knife. I expected to be hurt very much, but without any pain and in stantly ho removed the cinder. Oh there come times in our Christian life when our spiritual vision is being spoiled and all gentle appliances fail. Then there comes some giant trouble and, black handed, lays hold of us and removes that which would have ruined our vision forever I will gather all your joys together In one regiment of ten companies, and I will put them under Colonel Joy. Then I will gather all your sorrows together in one regiment of ten companies and put them under Colonel Brealcheart. Then I will ask which of these regiments has gained for you the greater spiritual victories Certainly that under Colonel Breakheart There Is no animal that straggles more violently than a sheep when you corner it and catch hold of It. Down in the glen I see a group of men around *a lost sheep* A plowman comes along and seizes the sheep and tries to pacify it, but it is more frightened than ever. A miller comes along, puts down his grist and caresses the sheep, and ft seems us if it would die or fright. After awhile some one breaks through the thicket. He says, "Let roe have the poor thing." He comes up and lays his arms around the sheep, and it is immediately quiet. Who is the last man that comes? It is the shepherd. Ah, my friends, be not afraid of the shepherd's crook. It is never used on you save in mercy to pull you back. The hard, cold iceberg of trouble will molt in the warm gulf stream of divine sympathy. There is one passage I think you misin terpret, "The bruised reed He will not break." Do you know that the shepherd in olden times played upon these reeds? They were very easily bruised, but when they were bruised they were never mended. The shepherd could so easily make another one, he would snap the old one and throw it uway and get another. The Bible says it is not so with our Shepherd. When the musio is gone out of a man's soul, God does not snap him in twain and throw him away. He mends and restores. "The bruised reed He will not break." Next I speak of the shepherds' dogs. They watch the straying sheep and drive them baok again. Every shepherd has his dog, from the nomads of the Bible times down to the Sootch herdsman watching his flocks on the Grampian hills. Our shepherd em ploys the criticisms and persecutions of the world as his dogs. There are those, you know, whoso whole work it is to watch the inconsistencies of Christians and bark at them. If one of God's sheep gets astray, the world howls. With more avidity than a shepherd's dog ever caught a stray sheop by the flanks or lugged it by the ears worldlings seize the Christian astray. It ought to do us good to know that we are thus watched. It ought to put us on our guard. They cannot bite us if we stay near the Shepherd. The sharp knife of worldly assault will only trim the vines uutli 1 they produce better grapes. The more you pound marjoram and rosemary the sweeter they smell. The more dogs take after you the ouicker you will get to the gate. You have noticed that different flocks of sheep have different marks upon them— sometimes a red mark, sometimes a blue mark, sometimes a straight mark and some times a crooked mark. The Lord our Shep herd has a mark for his sheop. It is a red mark, the mark of the cross. "Blessed are they that are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Furthermore, consider the shepherds' pasture grounds. The old shepherds used to take the sheep upon the mountains in the summer and dwell in the valleys in the winter. The sheep being out of doors per petually, their wool was better than if they had been kept iu the hot atmosphere of the sheop cot. Wells were dug for the sheep and covered with large stones In order that the hot weather might not spoil the water. And then the shepherd led his flock wher ever he would. Nobody disputed his right. So the Lord our Shepherd has a large pas ture ground. He takes us in the summer to the mountains and In the winter to the valleys. Warm days of prosperity come, and we stand on sun gilt Sabbaths and on hills of transllguratlon, and we aroso high up we can catch a glimpse of the pinnacles of the heavenly eity. Then cold wintry days of trouble come, and we go down Into the valley of sickness, want and beroave ment, and we say, "Is there any sorrow like unto my sorrow?" But, blessed be God, the Lord's sheep can find pasture uuy where. Between two rocks of trouble a tnft of succulent promises, green pastures beside still waters, long sweet grass be tween bitter graves. You have noticed the structure of the sheep's mouth? It is so sharp that it can take up a blade of grass or clover top from the very narrowest spot. And so God's sheep can pick up comfort where others cau gather none. "The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him." Lustly, consider the shepherd's fold. The time of sheep shearing was a very glad time. The neighbors gathered together, and they poured wine and danced for joy. The sheep were putin a place Inclosed by a wall, whore it wos very easy to count them and know whether any of them had been taken by the jackals or "logs. The Inclosurewas called the sbeepfold. Good news I have to toll you, ID that our Lord the Shepherd has a slieepfold. aud those who are gathered iu it shall never be struck by the storm, shall never betouehed by the jackals of temptation and trouble. It has A high wall —so high that DO troubles can get in—so high that the joys cannot get out. How glad the old sheep will beto And the iambs that loft them a good many years ago. Millions of children in heaven. Oh, what a merry heaven It will make! Not many long meter psalms there. They will bo in the majority and will run away with our song, carrying It up to a still higher point of ecstasy. Oh, there w'll bo shouting. If children on earth clapped their hands and danced for joy, what will they do when to the glad ness of childhood on enrth Is added the gladness of childhood in heaven? It is time we got over these morbid ideas of how we shall get out of this world. You make your religion an undertaker planing coffins and driviug hearses. Your religion smells of the varnish of a funeral casket, Bather let your religion to-oay come out and show you the sheepfold that Hod has provided for you. Ah, you say, there is a river between this ond that. 1 know it, but that Jordan is only for the sheep washing, and they shall go up on tho other banks snow white. They follow the great Shepherd. They heard his voice long ago. They arc safe now—one'fold and one Shepherd. Alas for those who are finally found out side the inclosure! The night of their sin howls with jackals; they are tbirstlDg for their blood. The very moment that a lamb may be frisking upon the hills a bear may be looking at it from the thicket. In June, 1815, there was a very noble party gathered in a house in St. James' square, London. The prince regent was present, and tho occasion was made fas cinating by music and banqueting and by jewels. While a quadrille was being formed suddenly all the people rushed to tho windows. What Is tho matter? Henry Percy had arrived with the news that Waterloo had been fought and rhut Eng land had won the day. The danoe was abandoned, the party dispersed, lords, la dies and musicians rushed into the street, and in fifteen minutes from tho first an nouncement of tho good news the house was emptied of all its guests. Oh, ye who are sooted at the banquet of this world or whirling in its gayetles and frivolities, it yau could hear the sweet strains of the gospel trumpet announcing Christ's vic tory over sin and death and hell, you would rush forth, glad in the eternal de livorauce. The Waterloo against sin has been fought, and our Commander-in- Chief liatli won the day. Oh, the joys of this salvation! I do not earo what meta phor, what comparison you havo, bring It to me. that I may use It. Amos shall bring one simile, Isaiah another, John another. Beautiful with pardon. Beautiful with peace. Beautiful with anticipations. Or to return to the pastoral figure of my toxt, come out of the poor pasturage of this world Into thu rich fortunes of tho Good Shepherd. The shepherd of old used to play beauti ful music, and sometimes tho sheep would gather around him and listen. To-day my heavenly Shepherd calls to you with tho very music of heaven, bidding you to leave your sin and accept His pardon. Oh, that all this flock would hear the piping of tho Good Shepherd. After having been robbed a dozen times in three months, a Huntington (Ind.) gro cer has sold out in disgust. His successor announces his readiness to greet the rob bers, If they come again, with a warmth that will make them remember him as well as they have remembered the ftore. THE LIMIT OF HUMAN LIFE. Authorities Differ on It and Centena rlans Are Uncertain Quantities. How may a man prolong his life in definitely? This question is discussed, but by no means settled, in an article by Langdon Kain, M. D., in the North American Review. The writer points out that author ities disagree by over a century as to the utmost limit of the human life, and are widely divergent as to the means for prolonging it. Where one instance is found of a centenarian who has lived abstem iously and kept regular habits an other springs up of an equally aged man who has been a noted drunkard and smoker all his life. Authorities on the subject have been puzzled to note that in countries where prosperity, intelligence and general civilization are highest, cen tenarians ore fewest. Dr. Kain explains this by saying that among such persons the death certificates are more rigidly kept, while among people of less education the exact age is left in doubt and wild guesses are made as to every old man or woman's years. , This would seem to discount many of the tales of persons who claim to be 150 or 180. This theory is borne out by the fact that nearly all alleged centenarians belong to the poorer, less educated classes. Hiram Lester, said to have been the oldest citizen of this country, died in an almshouse in 1896 at the alleged age of 128. Noah Kaby, an other pauper, celebrated what he said was his 126 th birthday at Piscataway, N. J., recently. A German statisti cian claims to have found an African named Bruno Coburn, now living at Rio de Janeiro, at the age of 150. Jo siah Field, of Red Bank, N. J., died last year at the fairly authenticated age of 104. He remained a bachelor until he was seventy-five, when he married and became the father of three children. Margaret Kasiocona, a Pole, was a similar case, having married her third husband when she was ninety-four, and bearing liim three children. Ireland holds the prize as a centenarian producing country. Of its 5,000,000, 578 are said to be cen tenarians. England, with a popula tion of 28,000,000, has but 146, while Germany, with 50,000,000 inhabitants, boasts . 031 Arch Street., Phila., Pa.

The kiss was unknown, I think, among the aboriginal tribes of Amer ica and of Central Africa. From the most ancient times, however, it has been familiar to the Asiatic and Eu ropean races. The Latins divided it into three forms—the osculum, the basium, and the suavium; the first being the kies of friendship and re 1 spect, the second of ceremony, and the third of love. The Semites always knew the kiss, and Job speaks of it as part of the sacred rites, as it is to day in the Roman Church. The Mon golian kiss, however, is not the same as that which prevails with us. In it the lips do not touch the surface of the person kissed. The nose is brought into light contact with the cheek, forehead or hand; the breath is drawn slowly through the nostrils, and the act ends with a slight smack of the lips. The Chinese consider our mode of kissing full of coarse suggestiveness, 'and onr writers re gard their method with equal disdain. Darwin and other naturalists have at tempted to trace back the kiss to the act of the lower animals, who seize their prey with their teeth, etc.— Science. Kufisia In the Buninesa, Too. Speaking of "land grabbing," it is amusing to find a Russian journal de nouncing the process. Russia owns over one-seventh of the habitable globe. It is twice as large as all Eu rope and three times larger thau the United States. She has obtained all this territory by land grabbing. She has seized a large portion of Turkey's territory in Europe, and appropriated the portion of Asia from the Ural Mountains and the Black Sea to the waters of the Pacific, and north of the Himalayas, Thibet and China, where she has recently continued the land grabbing begun by the wily Count Ignatieff a few decades ago, and has practically added Manchuria and the important port of Port Artliur and Ta- Lien-Wan to her Pacific Coast acqui sitions, and has a strong grip upon Korea.—Minneapolis Journal. k Copper-Plated Aluminum. A German engineer has recently succeeded in plating aluminum with copper by a welding process, and makes the combined materials in such forms that they may be soldered, rolled, drawn and plated. If this process is successful on a commercial scale, it would seem as if the increased usefulness of aluminum is to become practically unlimited, as the copper coating would remove all obstacles to its use where it must be in contact with fluids, soldered, and painted or plated. arations manufactured from chalks, clays, whiting, etc., are stuck on the wall with decaying animal glue.
