DR. TALMAGES SERMON. SUNDAY'S DISCOURSE BY THE NOTED DIVINE. The Subject, "Alleviations of War," Most Pertinent to t?»e Kxcitlnff Times Through Which We Xre Now Passing— Cheer For Those Whose Hearts Are Sad TEXT: "Though war should rise against me, in tbls will I be confident."—Psalms 27, HI. The ring of battle-axes and the elasli of shields, aud the tramp of armies are henrd all up and down the Old Testament; and vou find godly soldiers like Moses, and Joshua, and Caleb, and Gideon, and scoundrelly soldiers like Sennacherib, and Sbalmaneser, and Nebuchadnezzar. The High Priest woubl stand at the head of the army and say: "Hear, 0 Israel, ye ap proach this dav unto battle against your enemies, let not your hearts faiut; fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them!" aud then the officers would give command to the troops, say ing: "What man Is there that hath built a new house and hath not dedicated It? Let him go and return to his house, lest ho die in the battle and another man dedicate it. And what niau Is he that hath planted a vineyard and hath not eaten of it? Let him also go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle and another man eat of It. And what man is there thut hath betrothed a wife and hath not taken her? Let him go nnd return unto his house, lest he die In battle and auother mau take her.'' Great armies marched and fought. In the time of Moses and Joshua all the raon were sol diers. When Israel came out o( Egypt there were tiOO.OOO lighting men. Abijah commanded 400,000. Jeroboam commanded 800,000 men, of whom 500,000 were slain in one battle. Some of these wars God ap proved. for they were for the rescue of op pressed nations, aud some of them He denounced, but in all cases it was a judg ment upon both victors and vanquished. David knew just what war was when he wrote in the text, "Though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident." David is here encouraging himself in stormy times, and before approaching bat tles administers to himself the consolatory. So to-day my theme Is the "Alleviations of War." War is organized atrocity. It is the science of.assassination. It is the con vocation of all horrors. It is butchery wholesale. It Is murder glorified. It Is death on a throne of human skeletons. It is the cofiln in ascendancy. It is diabolism at a game of skulls. Aud the time is coining when war will be an impossibility. How far in the future I cannot say, but there will be a museum of curiosities in which a father and sou will one day be walkiug, and the son will sav, 'What is that sharp, curved instrument?" and the father will reply, "That is a sword." And the son will say, "What are those round pieces of iron?" and the father will reply, "Those are bullets and cannon bulls aud bombshells. Those are the ttyugs with which in the Dark Ages peopleTdlled each other." Yet the father will have hard work to make the SOD believe that such things were ever used for the destruction of human life. But that time has not yet arrived, aud having on other occasions spoken to you of the •'Aggravations of War," now that war is actually here it is time to speak of its alleviations. First, I find an alleviation in the fact that It has consolidated the North and South after long-continued strained relations. It Js thirty-three years since our Civil War closed, and the violences are all gone aud the severities have been hushed. But ever and anon. In oration, in sermon. In news paper editorial, in magazine article, on political stump, and In Congressional hall, the old seetional difference nas lifted its head; and for the first time within my mem ory, or the memory of any one who hears or reads these words, the North nnd the South are one. It was not a four years' war, but n fifty years' war; war of tougue, war of pen, war of printing press. But by a marvelous providence, the family that led in opposition to our Government thirty years ago, is represented at the front in this present war. Nothing else could have done the work of unification so suddenly or so completely as this conflict. At Tampa, ut Chattanooga, at lUchmond. and In many other places the regiments are forming, aud it will be side by side, Massachusetts and Alabama, New York aud Georgia. Illinois aud Louisiana, Maine and South Carolina. Northern and Southern men will together tinllmber the guns aud rush upon the forti fication aud charge upon the enemy and shout the triumph. The voices of military officers who were under Sidney Johtisou and Joseph Hooker will give the command on the same side. The old sectional grudges forever dead. The name of Grant on the Northern side and of Lee on the Southern side will be exchanged for the names of Grant aud Lee on the same side. The veterans iu Northern aud Southern homes and asylums are stretching their rheumatic limbs to see whether they can again keep step in a march, aud are testing their eyesight to find whether they can again look along the gun-barrel to success fully take aim aud fire. The old war cry of"On to Richmond!" and"On to Wash ington!" has become the war cry of"On to Havana!" "Onto Porto liico!" "Onto the Philippine Islands!" The two old rusty swords that in other days clashed at Mur freesboro and South Mountain aud Atlanta, are now lifted to strike down Hispanic abominations. Another alleviation of the war is the fact that it is the most unselfish war of the ages. While the commercial rights of our wronged citizens will be vindicated, that is not the chief Idea of this war. It is the rescue of hundreds of thousands of people from starvation and multiform maltreat ment. A friend who went out under the flag of the Ked Cross two years ago to as suage suffering in Armenia, and who has been on the same mission, under the same | Hag, in Cuba, says that the sufferings in Armenia were a comedy and a farce com pared with the greater sufferings or Cuba. At least two hundred thousand graves are calling to us to come on and remember by what process their occupants died. It is the twentieth century crying out to the nlne i teenth: "Do you mean to pass down to us the curse with which you have been blasted? Or will you let me begin under new aus pices ami turn the Island el desolation into an island Edenic?" It is a war inspired by mercy, which is an attribute in man imitative of the same at tribute of God. In no other age of the world could such a war have been waged. The gospel of kindness needed to be recog nized throughout Christendom in order lo make such a war possible. The chief rea son why most of the European nations are not now banded together avainst us is be cause they dare not take the part of that behemoth of cruelty, the Spanish Govern ment, against the crusade of mercy which our nation has started. Had it been on our part a war of conquest, a war of annexa tion, a war of aggrandizement,there would have been by this time enough flying squadrons coming to this couutry across the Atlantic to throw into panic every city on our American seaboard. The wars oT the Crusaders were onlv to regain an empty sepulchre; the Napoleonic wars, with their six million slaughtered men, were projected and carried out to ap pease the ambition of one man; of thetwen t.y-flve million slain in Jewish wars and of the sixty million slain in the wars under Julius Ciesar; of the one hundred and eighty million slain in wars with Turks and Sara cens; of the fifty million slain In wars with Xerxes: of the twenty million slain in wars of, Justinian; and the thirty-two million slHln In the wars of Genghis Kahu, not one man was sacrificed for mercy; but In till.-' Hispanic-American war every Arummei boy, or picket, or gunner, or standard bearer, or skirmisher, or sharpshooter, ot cavalryman, or artilleryman, or engineei who falls, falls In the cause of mercy, and becomes a martyr for God and his Country. Another alleviation of this war is thai It Is for the advancement of the eubllm# principle of liV which will yet engirdle the earth. > will this war frea Cuba, but flnaftj v fj-ee Spain. By what right does a p that stand, and a forrupt court domiuitu i people for cen turies, taxing them riding in gilded chariot over the ne«» of a beggared population?*^ Another nrmviation is that the war opens with a great victory for the United States, in the most jubilant manner let the victory of our navy be celebrated. With the story of the destroyed battleship fresh in the minds of the world it would require no or iinary courage to sail Into the harbor of Manila and attack the Spanish shipping, rbat harbor, crowded with sunken wea ponry of denth, to enter it was running a ri9k enough to make all nations shiver. But Manila is ours, and the blow has shaken to the foundation the palaces of Madrid, and for policy's sake the doubtful lations are on our side. For Commodore Dewey and all who followed him let the whole nation utter Its most resounding huzza; and more than that, let us thank he Lord of hosts for his guiding and pro tected power. "Praise ye the Lord! Let sverythlng that hath breatu praise the Lord!" Another alleviation is the fact that in :his war the might is on the side of the right. Again and again have liberty and ustice and suffering humanity had the odds against them. It was so when Ben lildad'sj Syrian hosts, .who. were in the wrong, nt Aphek, came upon the small regiments of Isrnel, who were in the right, the Bible putting it in one of those graphic sentences for which the book is remark able—"The children of Israel pitched be fore them like two little flocks of kids, but :tie Syrians filled the whole country." It was so in the awful defeat of the Lord's people at Gllboa and Megiddo. It was so recently when gallant and glorious Greece was in conflict with gigantic Mohumme lauism, and the navies of Europe hovering ibout the Bosphorus were in practical iirotection of the Turkish government, fresh from the slaughter of one hundred thousand Armenians. It was so when, in 177(i, the thirteen colonies, with little war shipping and a few undrliled and poorly :lnd soldiers, were brought into a contest with the mightiest navy_ of all the earth ind an army that commanded the admira tion of nations. It was so when Hungary went under. It has been so during all the struggles heretofore for Cuban indepen lenee. But now it is our powerful navy with enough guns to send the opposing fleet as completely under as when the lied Sea submerged Pharaoh's armv. Another nlieviation is the fact that wo iiuve a God togo to iu behalf of all those jf our countrymen who may be in especial sxposure at the front, for we must admit ;lih perils. It is no trifling thing for 100,- }OO young men to be put outside of home restraints and sometimes into evil com panionship. Many of the brave of the jarth are not the good of the earth. To jetu the same tent with those who have 110 regard for God or home; to hear their noly religion sometimes slurred at; to be placed under influences calculated to make jne reckless; to have no Sabbath, except such Sabbath as in most encampments imounts to no Sabbath at all; togo out from homes where all sauitary laws are observed into surroundings where ques tions of health are never discussed; to in fade climes where pestilence holds posses don; to make long marches under blister ing skies; to stand on deck and in the llelds under lire, at the merey of shot and shell—we must admit that those thus ex posed need especial care, and to the Omui present God we have a right to eommend them, and will commend them. Postal communication may be interrupted, and letters started from eamps or homes may not arrive at the right destination, but however far away our loved ones may be from us, and however wide and deep the seas that separate us, we may hold com munication with them via the throne of Sod. A shipwrecked sailor was found floating on a raft, near the coast of California. Willie in the hospital he told his experi ence, and said that he had a companion ou the eame raft for 6orne time. While that companion was dying of thirst he said to him: "'George, where are you going?' 1 and the lying sailor said: "I hope I am going to God." "If you do," suid the res cued sailor, "will you nsk Him to send some water?'' After rtie death of his com panion, the survivor said, Hie rain came in torrents, and slaked his thirst and kept him alive until he was taken to safety. The survivor always thought it was in an swer to the message he had sent to heaven asking for water. Thank God we may have direct and instantaneous communi cation with the Lord Almighty through Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, and in that faith we may secure the rescue of our imperiled kindred. Is not that a mighty alleviation? Morning, noon and night let us commend this beloved land to the care of a gracious God That He answers prayer Is so cer tain that your religion is an hallucination if He <Aoes not answer It. Pruy that in re ply to such suppiicntion the farmers' boys may get home again in time to reap the harvest of next July; that our business men may return in time to prepare for a fall trade such as hns never yet fllled the stores and factories with customers, and that all the homes in this country now sad dened by the departure of father or brother or son may months before the Thanksgiv ing and Christmas holidays be full of joy at the arrival of those who will for the rest of their lives have stories to tell of double quick march, and narrow esenpe, and charges up the parapets, and night set on lire with bombardment, and our flag hauled up to places from which other flags were hauled down. At Plymouth. England, on the 19th of July, the prominent officers of the navy were in a bowling alley, bowling with grc-at glee—Lord Howard, the High Admiral; Sir Martin Frohisher, the daring explorer, and Sir Francis Drake, the first circum navigator of the world—when word came to them that the Spanish Armada was ad vancing. The i'(fleers .continued at the game of the bowling alley until the game was finished, and then went out to investi gate the tiding-!, and, sure enough, that mighty fleet, which was considered invin cible, and which was to bombard and over throw England, was approaching, but the invading navy was destroyed, for the Lord Almighty appeared in the fight. A storm such as had never swept tho coast of England or aroused the ocean swooped upon the Spanish Armada. Most of the ships soon went down under the sea, while others were driven helplessly along to be splintered on the coasts of England, Ireland, Scotland, and Norway. Another Spanish Armada is crossing the Atlantic, and we are ready to meet them. Tile same God who destroyed the Armada in 1588 reigns in 1898. May He iu His might, either through human arm or dumb ele ment, defeat their squadron, and give vlo torv to the old flag. Yet what the world most wants Is Christ, who is coming to take possession of all hearts, all homes, all Nations; but the world blocks the wheels of His chariot. I would like to see thlscentury, wlii«h is now almost wound up, find its peroration in some mighty overthrow of tyrannies and a mighty bulldingup of liberty and justice. Almost all the centuries have ended witli some stupendous event that transformed Nations and chanced the map of the world. It was so at tho close of the fourteenth cen tury; it was so at the close of the flfteapth century; It was so at the close of the Six teenth century; It was so at the close of the seventeenth century; it was so at the close of the eighteenth century. May it be more gloriously so at tho close.of the nineteeth century! "Blessed be the Lord God of Is rael from everlasting to everlasting, and let the whole earth be' fllled With Hii glory."

A TEMPERANCE COLUMN. THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST IN MANY WAYS. Don't Drink—The Necessity of Keeping the Home Life Free From All Taint of Knm and Ita Degrading Aaaoclatlona —The lileaaed Kule of Sobriety. For the sake of a sweet-faced mother In the old home far away. For the sake of a kindly father Who thinks of you night and day. For the sake of a gentle sister. And the tender tieß that link Your heart to the heart of a brother— Don't drinki For the sake of another, dearer Perhaps, than all the rest, For her memory like a blessing That ever haunts your breast. For the sake of your future, spreading Even beyond death's brink, Fot the sake of your soul Immortal— Don't drink! —Sacred Heart Review. Drink and Family Life. Viewed from whatever standpoint, the value of total abstinenoe cannot but be apparent to all unbiased minds. But there are some phases of the situation more striking than others. Here, for instance, Is the father of a fam ily. Is it not to his advantage, as also to the advantage of those who look up to him as their natural protector, to live a life free from all taint of drink aftd its de grading associations? By restraining the appetite for intoxicants, and so avoiding their ovil Influence, is he not enabled to give his children a better chance in life than thev could possiDly obtain were he to spend his substance in the saloons? A home wherein peace prevails under the blessed rule of sobriety Is one ot the greatest advantages a child can possess. "There is no place lite home"—if that home is one in the true sense of the word, if it is a plaoe wherein is concentrated the affections of all the members of the fam ily, if it is a haven where all may gather at evening to refresh themselves with lovo and kindness after the tolls of the day. But if, instead, the father of the household is a victim of the drink evil, or if—to make the picture darker though perhaps not much less common—the mother in dulges in drink to excess, ho or she, so far i as their children, their natural depend- . ents, are concerned, has poured "the sweet j milk of ooneord into hell," and made that home a mockery. Many a man who to day Is a disgrace to humanity might in al) probability have been an ornament to so ciety were it not for the intemperance which destroyed Ills home life, and wrecked the happiness of his vouth. A home to a child should he the embodi ment of everything good and pure and inspiring. Other things being equal, the home wherein total abstinence is the rule is the very best preparatory school a child can have for the great struggle of life which all must face sooner or later. Alcohol Ahead. A thlftk-se*, uglv-looklng fellow wa< seated on a bench in the public park and seemed to lw reading some writing on o sheet of paper which he held in his hand. "You seem to be much interested in youj writing," 1 said, i "Yoe; I've been figuring my account with i old alcohol, to see how we staftd." i "And he comes out ahead. I suppose?" ! "Every time, and he has lied like sixty.'" ! "How did you come to have dealings witb ' him in the first place?" "That's what I've been writing. You see, he promised to make me a beast Then he said he would brace me up. but h« ■ made me go etasgering around, and then he threw me into the ditch. He said 1 must drink to be sociable. Then he made me quarrel with my best friends aad be the laughing stock of my enemies. He gave rne a black eye and a broken nose. Then I drank for the good of my health. He ruined the little I had, and left IUO sick as a dog." j "Of course." I"He said he would worm me up, and I 1 was soon nearly frozen to death. He said he would steady my nerves, but Instead he gave me delirium tremens. Ho said he ; would give mo great strength, oud he i made me helpless." "To be sure," "He promised me courage." ' "Then what followed?" "Then h« made me a coward, for I beat my sick wifo and kicked my little sick child. He said he would brighten my i wits, but Instead ho made me act like a fool and talk like an Idiot. He promised to ! make a gentleman of me, but he made mo a tramp."—Christian Work. A Temperance Leison. ■Whether alcoholic liquor is necessary ot even useful to the soldier in the field is n question which authorities will continue to There Is, however, no qnestlon (hat in t campaign in a tropical country like Cuba liquor of any kind is more dangerous thar. useful. In addition to this, the Soudan campaign now going nn furnishes direct Il lustration of the positive assertion that it is not necessary. The English papers ara nailing nttentior to the fact that the victory at Atbara was won on tea and coffee. An Invoice of Oer man whiskey which had been sent to the expedition was poured out on the sand, am' even the beer was sent back. The result was that after a long night march ami i fierce battle under the blazing sun the mer were fine and fit. It is the common impression thatTooimj Atkins is more of a drinker than hisAmeri can cousin. If Tommy Atkins can do with out his whisky and be all the better for it his example might be safely followed bj our soldier boys in Cuba.—Xew Yorl< World. Temperance and Athletics, The Duke of Connaugbt recently spoke of the improved sobriety in the British army since he joined it. It is no doubt very remarkable, nnd some of the credit must be given to the Army Temperance As sociation. But something is also due tc the improvement in the social habits of the officers, from whom the men naturally take example; something, moreover, to the in troduction of short servtce, as It was mninl) old soldiers who were the best customer.' of the canteen. And there is something further, in the proof which several of Lord Wolseley's campaigns and the recent light ing of Gatacre's Brigade have given, that abstinence from stimulants does no harm in the field, and therefore cannot hurt pieu in c.umps and quarters. But the main im provement is undoubtedly due to the in creased attention giv«n to gymnastic work and to athletic sports. Men who go in for these cannot attain excellence If they drink to excess. And that has wrought a silent revolution which is none the less effective because it is not talked about. All these things together have conspired to make the soldier the self-respeotlng man ha is to-day.—London Chronicle. SHoti at llie Ruin Demon. Combat the open saloon with tho open home.

Ever since the electric ligbt and power industry began to be a factor in tbe economic affairs of the indus trial world, its adaptation to tbe work of transmitting the power of water falls to more ur less distant points lias been tbe dream of those who re alize its vast possibilities, and who believe that tbe ingenuity of man is equal to the task of overcoming any difficulties that may be encountered in attempts to find a successful solu tion of tbe problem. For more than twenty years those who may be oalled electrical enthusiasts have prophesied that the day would come when the power of Niagara would be delivered at the door of the consumer in tbe city of New York, and capitalists have not been lacking who would have pro vided the means for carrying out an undertaking of this kind if they had been given tbe proper assurance by electrical engineers of prominence that tbe results sought for could be attained. Such assurance, however, could not be given; for, although it is known that there is no difficulty in the way of accomplishing such a result theoretically, the practical develop ment of the art has not reached a stage that would render the realization of ! such an undertaking possible.—Ap- I pleton's Popular Science Monthly.

Probably the fir&t successful at tempt at suction dredging was on the construction of the Amsterdam canal j in 1867, where a centrifugal pump was ! fitted to an old bucket dredge. A ver tical shaft, driving a "spinner" three feet six inches in diameter was fitted near the bottom of an upright cylin der twelve feet high, so arranged that the contents of the buckets falling through it were met by the ascending column of water from the centrifugal pump. This liquefied the silt, and it was forced to the shore through wood en pipes placed on buoys or floats. These pipes were connected by leather joints or sleeves. This machine could deposit at a point 1200 feet dis tant 2000 tons of solid matter to a height of eight feet above water sur face in twelve hours. Three years j later double machines of this kind were used on canal work at Cron stadt, Russia. Attached to the ver tical shaft of this machine, however, were water jets under high pressure, which were directed into the cylinder. By this means stiff clay could be suf ficiently broken up to be moved ashore. This kind of machine was afterward employed oh the Danube.— Engineering Magazine.
