DR. TALMAGES SERMON. SUNDAY'S DISCOURSE BY THE NOTED DIVINE. Subject: "Sprinkled and Clean»ed," In Which the Story of tlie Shedding of Blood For tile Removing of Sin is Dwelt Upon—Cliriit and the Soul. TEXT: "Anil the priest shall command that oue of the birds be killed la aa earthen vessel, overrunning water. As for the liv ing bird, he shall take it, and the cedar- Wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in tbe bl< id of the bird that was killed over the tunning water; and he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times,and shall pronounco him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open Held."—Leviticus xlv., 5-7. The Old Testament, to very many people, Is a great slaughter-house strewn with blood, and bones, and horns, and hoofs of butchered animals. It offends their sight; it disgusts their.taste; it actually nauseates the stomach. But to the intelligent Chris tian the Old Testament is a magnificent corridor through which Jesus advances. As He appears at the other end of the cor ridor we can only see the outlines of His character: coming nearer, we can descry the features. But wheu, at last He steps upon the platform of the New Testament, amid the torches of evangelists and apos tles, the orchestras of heaven announce Him with a blast of minstresly that wakes up Bethlehem at midnight. There were a great many cage* of birds brought dowu to Jerusalem for sacrifice— sparrows, aud pigeons, and turtle-doves. I can hear them now, wliistliug, caroling and singing all arouud about the Temple. When a lepsr was to be cured of his lep rosy, in order to his cleansing two of these birds were taken; one of them was slain over an earthen vessel of running water that is, olear, fresh water, and then the bir.l was killed. Auother bird was then taken, tie lto a hyssop-branch, and plunged by the priest into the blood of the lirst bird; aud then, with this hyssop-brauch, bird dippjil, the priest would sprinkle the leper seven times, then untie the bird from the hyssop-brauch, and it would go soaring Jnto the heaven*. Now open your eves wide, my dear brethren and sisters, and see that that tlrst bird meant Jesus, and that the second bird meant your own soul. I notice also in my text that tho bird that was slain was a clean bird. The text de manded that it should be. The raven was never sacrificed, nor the cormorant, nor the vulture. It must be a clean bird says the text; and it suggests the pure Jesus the holy Jesus. Although He spent His boyhood in the worst village on earth, although blasphemies were poured into His ear enough to have poisoned anyone else, He stands before the world a perfect Christ. I remark, also, in regird to tills llrst bird mentioned in tho text that it was a defenseless bird. When the eagle is as saulted. with its iron beak it strikes liko a bolt against its adversary. This was a dove or a sparrow, we do not know just which. Take the dove or pigeon in your hand, and the pecking of its beak oil your hand makes you laugh at the feebleness of its assault. None to help! The murderers have it all their own way. Where was the soldier Jn the Roman regiment who swung his sword in the defense of the Divine Martyr? Did they put one drop of oil on His gashed fevt? Was there one in all that crowd manlv and generous enough to stand out for Hltn? Were the miscreants at the cross any more interfered with in their work of spiking Him fast than the carpen ter in his shop driving a nail through a pine board? The women cried, but there was no balm in their tears. None to help! None to help! O my Lord Jesus, none to help! Oh, this dove of the text, In its last mo ment, clutched not with angry talons. It plunged not a savage beak. It was a dove —heipless, defenseless. None to help! None to help! As, after a severe storm in the morning, you go out and flnd birds dead on the ground, so this dead bird of the text makes me think of that awful storm that swept the earth on Crucifixion day, wheu the wrath of God and the malice of man and the fury of devils wrestled beneath the three crosses.^. But I come now to speak to this second bird of the text. We must not let that fly away until we have examined It. Thepriast took the second bird, tied it to the hyssop branch, and then plunged it in the blood of the first bird. Ah! that Is my soul, plunged for cleansing in tho Saviour's blood. There is not enough water in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans to wash away our smallest sin. Sin is such an outrege of God's uni verse that nothing but blood can atone for it. You know the life is in the blood, and as the life had been forfeited, nothing could buy it back but blood. As this second bird of tho text was plunged in the blood of the first bird, so we must be washed in the blood of Christ or go polluted forever. I notice now that as soon as this second bird was dipped in the blood of the first bird, the priest unloosened it and it wns free—free of wing and free of foot. It could whet its beak on any tree branch it chose, It could peck the grapes of any vineyard it chose. It was free; a type of our souls nfter we have washed in"the blood of the Lamb. We can go where we will. We can do what we will. If a man has become a Christian, he is no moreafraid of Sinai. Thethunders of Sinai do not frighten him. You hare, on some August day, seen two thunder-showers meet. One cloud from this mountain, and another cloud from that mountain, coming nearer and nearer together, and responding to each other, crash to crash, thunder to thunder, boom! boom! And then the clouds break nnd the torrents pour, nnd they are emptied perhaps Into the very same stream that comes down so red at your feet, that it seems as if all the carnage of the storm battle hns been emptiod into it. So In this Bible I see two storms gather, one above Binai, the other above Calvary, and they re spond one to the other—flash to flash, thunder to thunder, boom! boom! Sinai thunders, 'The soul that sinneth. it shall die;" Calvary responds: "Save them from going down to the pit, for I have founa a ransom." Sinai says: "Woe! woe!" Cal vary answers: "Mercy! mercy!" and then the clouds burst, and empty their treasures into one torrent, and it comes flowing to our feet, red with the carnage of our Lord —ln which, if thy soul be plunged, like the bird in the text, It shall go forth free— free! Why, Is not a man free when he gets rid of his sins? The sins of the tongue gone; the sins of action gone; the sins of the mind gone. All the transgressions of thlrtv, forty, flfty, seventy years gone—no more in the soul than the malaria that floated in the atmosphere a thousand years ago; for when my Lord Jesus pardons a man He pardoas him, and there is no halfway work about It. Here I see a beggar going along the turnpike road. He is worn out with dis ease. He is stilt in the joints. He Is ul cered all over. He has rheum in his eyes. He is sick and wasted. He is in rdgs. Every time he puts down his swollen feet, he cries, "Oh! the pain!'* He sees a foun tain by the roadside under a tree, and he crawls up to that fountain nnd 'gays: "I must wnsh. Here I may cool my ulcers. Here I may get rested." He stoops down and scoops up in the palms of his hands enough water to slack bis thirst; and that is all gone. Then he stoops down and be gins to wash his eyes; and the rheum is all gone. Then he puts in his swollen feet ana the swelling is gone. Then, willing no longer to be only half cured, he plunges in and his whole body is laved in the stream' and he gets upon the bank well. Mean time the owner of the mansion up yonder comes down, walking through the ravine with His only Son, and Ho sees the bundl* of rags, and aslcs: "Whose rags are these?" A voice from the fountain says: "Those are my rags." Then says the Master to His Bon: "Go up to the house and get the best new suit you can find and bring it down." And He brings down thee lothes, and the beggar is clothed In them, and he looks around and says: "l was filthy, but now I am clean. I was ragged, but now I am robed. I was blind, but now I see. Glory be to the owner of that mansion; and glory be to that Son who brought me that new suit of clothes; and glory be to this fountain where I have washed, and where all who will may wash and be clean 1" Where sin abounded, grace doth much more abound The bird has been dipped, now let It fly The' next thing I notice about this bird, when it was loosened (and this Is the main idea), is, that it flew away. Which way did it go? When you let a bird loose from your grasp, which way does It fly? Up. What are wings for? To fly with. Is there anything In the suggestion of the direc tion taken by that bird to Indicate which way we ought togo? "Rise, my soul and stretch thy wings. Thy better portion trace; Rise from transitory things To heaven, thy native place." We should be going heavenward. That is the suggestion. But I know that we have a great many drawbacks. You had them this morning, perhaps. Yon had them yesterday, or the day before, and although you want to be going heaven ward, you are constantly discouraged. But I suppose when that bird went out of the priest's hands it wont by inflections—some times stooping. A bird does not shoot di rectly up, but this is the motion of a bird. So the soul soars toward God, rising up in love, aud sometimes depressed by trial. It does not always go in the direction it would like to go. But the main oourse is right. There is one passage in the Bible which I quote oftener to myself than any other: "He knoweth our frame, and Ho remombereth that we are dust." There Is a legend In Iceland which says that when Jesus was a boy, playing with His comrades one Sabbath day, Ho made birds of clay; and as these birds of clay were standing upon the ground, an old Sadducee came along,and he was disgusted at the sport,and dashed the birds to pieces, but tho legend says that Jesus waved His hand above the broken birds,and they took wings and went singing heavenward. Of course.that is a fable among the Icelanders; but it is not a fable that we are dust, and that, the hand of divine grace waved over us once, we go singing toward the skies. I wish, my friends, that we could live in a higher atmosphere. If a man's whole life object is to make dollars, he will be running against those wjio are making dol lars. If his whole object is to get applause, ho will run against those who are seeking applause. But if he rises higher than that, ho will not be interrupted in his flight heavenward. Why does that flock of birds, flouting up against tho blue sky so high that you cau hardly see them, not change its course for spire or tower? They are above all obstruction. So we would not have so often to change our Christian course if we lived in a higher atmosphere, nearer Christ, nearer tho thronoof God. Oil ye who have beau washed in thelblood of Christ—ye who have been loosed from the liyssop-branoh— start heavenward. It may be to some of you a long flight. Temptations may dispute your way; storms of bereavement "and trouble may strike your soul; but God will see you through. Build not on the earth. Sot your affections on things in heaven, not on things on earth. This is a perishing world. Its (lowers fade. Its fountains dry up. Its promises cheat. Set your affections upon Christ and heaven. I rejoice, my dear brethren and sisters in Christ, that the flight will, after a while, be ended. Not always beaten of the storm. Not always going on weary wings. There is a warm dovecot of eternal dust where we shall flnd a place of comfort, to the everlasting joy of our souls. Oh, they are going up nil the time—going up from this church—going up from all the families nnd from all the churches of the land—the weary doves seeking rest in a dovecot. Oh. that in that good land we may all meet when our trials are over! Wo can not get into the glorious presence of our departed ones unless we have been cleansed in the same blood tnat washed their sins away. I know this is true of all who have gone in. that they were plunged in the blood, that they were unloosed from the hyssop-branch. Tneu they went singing Into glory. See that ye refuse not Him that speaketh, for if they escaped not who refused Him that spake on earth, how much more shall not we escape If we turn away from Him that speaketh from heaven? Philippine Frlnra in Peril. The Superiors of the various missionary orders in the Philippines have sent a mes sage to the Government at Madrid com plaining that the friars are subject to per secution and assassination through the machinations of secret societies there and in Spnin. The message further declares that the friars are willing to give their lives and property in defense of Spain, but that, if the Government is unable to pro tect them, they will be forced to abandon the Philippines. The Kentucky's Heavy Armor. The Navy Department, Washington, Is getting a better quality of armor as the contracts expire. A thirteen-lnch plate tested at Indian Head with a ten-inch gun showed itself to be equal or superior to any piece of armor that ever lias been made, for with the highest velocity at 1945 feet a second the shot penetrated only twelve inches without cracking the plate. It was the last piece to be delivered un der the existing contract and is intended for the Kentucky. Mo Women Physicians For the War. Surgeon General Sternberg, of Chicago, has announced that the Government will employ no women physicians for .service in the field during the war. Spain Strengthening Cadiz. All the guns in the batteries at Cadiz are being removed and replaced by heavier rifles. A train that left Baltimore the other day for Tampa with supplies for the troops was composed of thirty-flv# cars, which carried 250,000 cans of tomatoes. It is predicted that four Congressional districts in Massachusetts will be closely contested this fall, three of them being In Boston, wholly or in part. According to Dr. W. F. Brunner, Sani tary Inspector of the United States Marine Service, 32,534 Spanish soldiers died of dis ease in Cuba during 1897. Contracts have been let for the construc tion of a railroad from Skaguay to Lake Bennett via the White Pass. It is said i i-.i work will be begun at once. The finding of copper deposits in Colum bia County, Pennsylvania, is reported. As. says of several specimens are said to indi cate that the find fs a rich one. J. C. McCracken, the Pennsylvania weight-thrower, has defeated John Flana gan, the champion. He threw the sixteen pouud hammer 163 feet seven inches. Tom Linton broke the world's record in his race against Elkes at Boston on Deco ration Day. The race was at thirty miles. Linton rode tke distance in 56m. 50 l-ss.

Liquor haH until recently played so im portant a role in warfare, to the horrors of which it has in no small measure con tributed, that the fact of Sir Horatio Kitchener's recent victory at Atbara, in the Soudan, having been won by a forco composed exclusively of total abstainors calls for serious consideration and atten tion. It is probably the first occasion that so brilliant a feat of arms has been achieved by a body of white troops who for months previously had not been permitted to touch a drop of any kind of stimulant whatsoever. For if not only "Tommy At kins" of the line, but even his comrade, "Sandy," of the Highland regiments, whose namesuggests whisky, have refrained from alcohol in any form whatsoever, and have restricted themselves to tea, lime juice and Nile water, it cannot be attributed to any conscientious scruples on their part or to the sudden development of high-fledged principles on the score of drink, but solely to the establishment ot a new system by the British military authorities, which is exciting a good deal of Interest on the part of the War Departments of Continental Europe, and which, in view of the conflict now in progress between this country and Spain, inny likewise commend Itself to Secretary Alger and General Miles. It seems that for some time, by orders of Field Marshal Lord Wolseley, the British Commander-in-Chief, careful and exhaus tive experiments have been In progress with a view to ascertaining the relative effects of alcohol and of total abstinence upon the physical endurance and staying qualities of the troops. Advantage has been taken both of the annual maneuvers, as well as of these petty wars of which England has a few on band in one part or another of the world almost all the time, to examine carefully the question. One regiment would be deprived of every drop of stimulant, while another belonging to the tame brigade would be allowed to pur chase as usual its irialt liquors at the can teen, and a third, probably a Highland corps, would receive n sailor's ration of grog in the form of whisky. In each in stance the experiment went to show that, whereas at first the oorps which hail re ceived an allowance of grog surpassed the others 111 dash and In impetuosity of at tack, yet that after the third or fourth day Its members began to show notable signs of lassitude and a lack of spirit and endur ance. The same manifestations, though in a minor and slower degree, were npparent in the regiments restricted to malt liquors, whereas the men who had been kept from (■very kind of stimulant increased in stay ing power, alertness and vigor every day. The result of these experiments led the British War Department to decide, not on the ground of principle, but solely for the sake of maintaining the powers of endur ince of the troops now engaged in the Sou 3au campaign, not to permit a single drop ot stimulant in camp. A Itnin of Gold. There is n Chinese tradition which tells that, four thousand years ago, the Em peror of China was much troubled with the wretchedness and destitution of his peo ple, many thousands of whom lived amid scenes of squalor and brutishness. All at once he recognteed that the bad habits of his people had much to do with the bad habitations in which they were existing. The Emperor, by a wise act of authority, with a stroke of his pen closed up every liquor shop in Chinn; and the tradition records that for three days the heavens rained gold, and the people, being sober, ttere able to gather in the rich har vest of the bountiful skies. Archbishop Farrar, in referring to tilts ■ radition, says: "Considering that there is hardly a pauper in England who has not wasted on intoxicants enough to have secured him long ago a freehold house and 1 good annuity, I say that, if the curse of irl 11k were thoroughly expelled, it would rain gold in England, not for three days, but for many days." No ltum Town Wanted. Rome time ago n man met a company of capitalists who were auxious to locate a large plant near Boston. He was very anxious to induce them to come to his city. He said he know a town a few miles from Boston, with splendid water, first class railway connections, cheap, abun dant labor, low-priced land and plenty of it. The capitalists were interested at once and said that was just what they werelook ing for. "What Is the name of the town?" they asked. On hearing the name they ex claimed, "Why, that is the uame ofthat ruin town, Isn't it?" "Well, yes, wo do have saloons there." "No, sir," was the reply; "none of it for us. Our factory goes where there are no saloons. We would rather pay higher wages and hove poorer accommodations, for we'd more than save the difference in sober working men. Besides, out of twenty-five towns and cities immediately around Boston, your tux rate Is the highest of all. No rum town for us."—Temperance Causa. Agalnat Splrltoua Llqnora. The National officers of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union have for warded to the exposition authorities at Omaha, Neb., an earnest protest against the sale of spirituous liquors on the expo sition grounds. They express the. hearty accord of the white-ribbon organization with such movements us the Transconti nental Exposition, but say: "We feel that this particular branch of so-called Industry does not deserve recognition at your bands, and beg that you will heed our protest 'for God, and home and native laud.'"

Among other things he says: "Alcohol should bo prohibited."

Two riggers in a Western city a few years ago performed a feat that foi daring and steadiness of nerve equal q anything on record, says the Phila delphia Times. Repairs were necessary at the top of a very high church steeple. There was no way to reach the spot from the inside, and the riggers procured a uumber of light ladders and lashed them, one above the other, to the out side of the steeple. The topmost lad der, however, was not high enough to enable them to reach the desired spot, and as the upper part of the steeple was too small to permit the proper lashing to it of a ladder, a daring ex pedient was resorted to. One of Ihs men carrying a pot of melted solder climbed from one lad der to another until he had reached the last one, and then, bracing him self, he raised an extra ladder that the other rigger had brought up in his hand, and leaned it against the steeple. Then the man below grasped this ladder and held it steady while the man above mounted it to the point where the work was to be done. He began the work at once, and all prom ised well until suddenly he jostled the solder pot, and the fiery stuff ran out and fell over the hands of the man who was holding the ladder. But the brave fellow did not move. With a presence of mind and a cour age worthy of a monument, he main tained a firm hold on the lat'.der until Lis companion could come down from his perilous perch. Authors* Autobiographies. While Edward W. Townseud and John Kendrick Bangs were giving readings from their books together, one night in a Western town, Mr. Hangs gravely announced that he "would be followed by Mr. Townsend, who will read from his autobiography, 'Chimmie Fadden.'" When it came to Mr. Townseml's turn to read, he had his revenge. "Speaking of auto biographies," he said, "Mr. Bangs made his first success, as you know, with'The Idiot.'" Stocking Protectors. A simple invention which promises to save hours of stocking mending is a thin sole or half sole covered with satin to slip inside the boot or shoe, with a still' backing of velvet round the heel, which entirely prevents fric tion with its danger of chilblains and blisters. The protectors also keep the shoes from slipping and are useful to pedestrians, cyclists and dancers or skaters. Women In ltiifitneHA. From the Free J'ress, I/etroU, Mich. A prominent business man recently ex pressed the opinion that there is one thing that will prevent women from completely filling man's place in the business world— they can't be depended upon because they are sick too often. This is refuted by Mrs. C. W. Mansfield, a business woman of 58 Farrar St., Detroit, Mich., who says: "A complication of female ailments kept me awake nights and wore me out. I could get 110 relief from medicine and hope was slipping away from me. A young lady in my employ gave me a box of Dr. Williams' I'ink Tills for Pale People. I took them and was able to rest at night for the first time in months. I bought more andtook them and they cured me as they also cured several other people to my knowledge. I think that if you should ask any of the drug gists of Detroit, who are the best buyers of Dr. William^'Tink Pills they would say the young women. These plils certainly build up the nervous system and many a young woman owes her life to them. "Asa business woman I am pleased to recommend | them as I more for V Jp me than any ~ l| physician Ji and I can —jf Peo p 1 e red i t for //??) I my general good health to-day." Suddenly Prostrated. No discovery of modern times has done so much to enable women to take their proper place in life by safe-guarding their health as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Acting directly on the blood and nerves, invigorating the body, regulating the functfons, they restore the strength and health to the exhausted woman when every effort of the physician proves una vailing. For the growing girl they are of the greatest benefit, for the mother Indispensa ble, for every woman Invaluable.

But by a per verse contradiction of this story the Spaniards themselves adopt thiß flower as a symbol of faith, and one of their poets says; "Real faith is like the sun's fair flowers, which, 'midst the clouds that shroud it, and the winds that wave it to and fro, and all the change of air, and earth, and skv, doth rear its head and looketh up, still steadfast, to its God."—Bost-on Traveler. Klectrictty Under Water. The use of wire cables under water for conducting electric currents was resorted to as early as 1812 by Baron Schilling for exploding mines in the Neva. It is also a well-authenticated fact that. Colonel Parsley used the same method to blow up the wreck of the Royal George in 1838, in tho dock at Spithead. It is not unlikely that the first idea of an Atlantic cable sprang from these early suocesses with the current under water.
