DR. TALMAGES SERMON. SUNDAY'S DISCOURSE BY THE NOTED DIVINE. Subject: "Xl»e Value or Good Wives"— Oualitles Which Crown Noble Woman hood—Wonders Christianity linn Done For the Weaker Sex. TEXT: "Elisha passed to Shunom, where wus a groat woman."-II Kings iv., 8. The hotel of our time had no counterpart ,u any entertainment of olden time. Tho vast majority of travelers must then be en tertained at private abode. Here comes Ulishu, a servant of tho Lord, on a divine mission, and ho must And shelter. A bal cony overiooking the valley of Esdraelon is offered him in a private house, and it is •■specially furnished for his occupancy—a chair to sit on, a table from which to eat, a candlestick by which to read and a bed on which to slumber, the whole establishment belonging to a great and good woman. Her husband, it seems, was a godly man, but he was entirely overshadowed by his wife's excellences; just as now you sometimes find in a household the wife the centre of dignity und Influence and power, not by any arrogance or presumption, but by su perior intellect nnd force of moral nature, Wielding domestic affairs and nt tho same time supervising all ilnancial and business affairs—the wife's hand on the shuttle or the banking house or the worldly business. You seo hundreds of men who are suc cessful only because there is u reason at homo why they are so successful. If a man marry a good, honest soul, he makes his forlsne. If be marry a fool, the Lord help him. The wife may bo the silent partner in the firm, there may be only masculine voices down on Exchange, but there often times comes from the home circle a poten tial aud elevating influence. This woman of my text was the superior of her husband. He, as far as I can understand, was what we often see in our day, a man of large for tune and only a modicum of bruin, intense ly quiet, sitting a long while in the same place without moving hand or foot, if you nay "Yes," responding "Yes;" if you say "No," responding "No"—inane, eyes half shut, mouth wide open, maintaining his position in society only because he has a large patrimony. But his wife, my toxt says, was a great woman. Her name has not come down to us. She belonged to that collection o£ people who need no name to distinguish them. Whut would title of duchess or princess or queon—whut would escutcheon or gleaming diadem bo to this woman of my text, who by her intelligence and her behavior challenges ,tho admiru lion of all ages? Long ufter the brilliant women of the court or Louis XV have been forgotten and the brilliant women of the court of Spain havo been forgotten and the brilliant women who sat on tho tnrono of Russia have beenjforgotten some grand father will put on his spectacles, and hold ing tho book the other side tho light road to his grandchildren the story of this grent woman of Shunem who was eo kind und courteous and Christian to tho good prophdt Elisha. Yes, she was u great woman. In the first place, she was great in her hospitalities. Uncivilized und burburous nations have this virtue. Jupiter had tho burname of tho Hospitable, and he was said especially to avenge tho wrongs of strangers. Homerextoiled it in his verse. The Arabs are punctilious on this subject, und umong some of their tribes it is not un til the ninth day of tarrying that the occu pant has a right to usk his guest, "Who and whence urt thou?" If this virtue is so honored among barbarians, how ought it to be honored among those of us who be lieve in the Bible, which commands us to use hospitality one toward anotner with out grudginp! Of course 1 do not mean under this cover to give any idea that I approve of that vagrant class who go around from place to place, ranging their whole lifetime, per haps uuder the uuspices of sotno benevo lent or philanthropic society, quartering themselves on Christian families with a grcut pile of trunks in the hall and carpet bag portentous of tarrying. There is many a country parsonage that looks out week by week upon the ominous urrivai of wagon with creaking wheel and lauk horse aud dilapidated driver, como under the auspices of some charitable institution to spend a few weeks and canvass tho neigh borhood. Let no such religious tramps tuko advantage of this beautiful virtue of Christian hospitality. Not so much tho suinptuousness of your diet and the regality of your abode will impress ;the friend or the stranger that steps across your threshold as the warmth of your greeting; tho informulity of your recep tion, the reiteration by grasp, nnd by look, and by a thousand attentions, in slgnillcant attentions, of your earnest ness of welcome. There will be high appreciation of your welcome, though you have nothing but the brazen can dlestick and the plain chair to offer Elisha when he comes ;to Shunem. Most beautiful is this grace of hospitality when shown in tho house of God. I am thankful that I have always been pastor of churches where strangers are wel come. But 1 have entered churches where thero was no hospitality. A stranger would stand in the vestibule for a while nnd then make a pilgrimage up tho long isle. No door opened to him until, Hushed and excited nnd embarrassed, ho started back again and, coming to some half lllled pew, with apologetic air entered it, while the occupant glared on him with a look which soemed to say, "Well, if I must, I must." Away with such accursed inde cency from the house of God. Lot every church that would maintain lurge Christian influence in community culture Sabbath by Sabbuth this beautiful graco of Christiun hospitality. A good man traveling in the far Wost, in the wilderness, wus overtaken by night and storm, and ho putin at a cabin. He saw firearms along the beams of the cabin, and he felt alarmed. He did not know but that ho had fallen into a den of thioves. He sat there greatly perturbed. After a while tho man of tho house came homo with a gnn on his shoulder and set it down in a corner. The stranger was stili more alarmed. After awhile the man of tho houso whispered with his wife, and the stranger thought his destruction was be ing planned. Then tho man of tho houso came forward and said to the stranger: "Stranger, we are a rough and rude peo plo out here, and we work hard for a living. Wo make our living by hunting, and when wo como to the nightfall we are tired and wo are apt togo to bed early aud before retiring we are al ways in the habit of reading a chapter from the word of God and making a prayer. If you don't like such things, if you will just step outsido the door until wo get through I'll be greatly obliged to you." Of course the stranger tarried in tho room, and the old hunter took hold of tho horns of tho altar and brought down the blessing of God upon his household and upon the stranger within their gates. Bude but glorious Christian hospitality! This woman of the text was only a typo of thousands of men and women who como down from mansion and from cot to do kindness to the' Lord's servants. I could tell you of something that you might think a romance. A young man grnduated from New Brunswick Theological Seminary was called to a village church. He had not the means; to furnish the parsonage. After three or four weeks of preaching a commit tee of the officers of thochurch waited on him and told him he looked tired and thought he had better take a vacation of a few days. The young pastor took It as an intimation that his work was done or not acceptable. He took the vacation, and at the end of a few days camo back, when an elder said: "Horo is tho key of the pivrsonage. We have been cleaning it up. You had better go up and look at it." Bo the young pastor took the key, went up to the parsonage, opened the door, and 10, It wa? carpeted, and there was the UfttxacL all ready for the canes and the umbrellas and the overcoats, and on the lelt hand ol the hall Was the parlor, sofaed chaired, pictured. Ho passed on to the other side ot the ball, and there was tlie study table In the centre ol the floor with stationery upon it, bookshelves huilt, long ranges of new volumes, far beyond the reach of the means of the young pastor, many of these volumes. The young pastor went up stairs nnd found all the sleeping apartments furn ished, came down stairs and entered the pantry, and there were the spices, and the coffees, and the sugars, nnd the groceries for six months. He went down into the cellar, and there was the ooal for nil the coming winter. He went into the dining hall, nnd there was the table already set—the glass and the silver ware. Ho went Into the kitchen, and there were all the culiuury Implements and a great stove. The young pastor lifted one lid of the stove, nnd he found the fuel all ready for ignition. Putting back the cover of the stove, he saw in an other part of it a lucifer match, and nil that young man had to do in sturtlng_ to keep house was to strike the match. You tell me that is apocryphal. Oh, no, that was my own experience. Oh, the kind noss; oh, the onlarged sympathies some times clustered around those who enter the gospel ministry! I suppose the man of Shunem hud to pav the bills, but it was the large-hearted Christian sympathies of the woman of Shunem that looked after the Lord's messenger. Where ure the feet that have not been blistered on the hot sands of this great Sahara? Whoro are the soldiers that have not bent under the burden of grief? Where is tho ship sailing over glassy sea that has not after awhile been caught iu a cyclone? Where is the garden of earthly comfort, but trouble hath bitched up its flery and panting team and gone through it wltb burning plowshares of disaster? Undei tho pelting of ages of suffering tho great heart of tho world has burst with woe. Navigators tell us about tho rivers, and the Amazon, nnd tho Danube, and the Mississippi have beon explored, but who can tell the depth or the length of the great river of sorrow, made up of tears and blood rolling through all lands nnd all ages, bearing the wreck of families, and of communities, nnd of empires, foam ing, writhing, boiling with the agonies of 6000 years. Etna, Cotopaxl and Vesuvius have been described, but who has evei sketched tho volcano of suffering retching up from its depths the lava and scoria, and pouring them down tte sides to whelm the nations? Oh, if I could gather all tho heart strings, tho broken heartstrings, into o harp I would play on it a dirge such as was never sounded. Mythologists tell us of gorgon and contaur and Titan, and geologists tell us ot extinct species of monsters, but greater than gorgon or megatherium, and not belonging to the realm of fable, and not of an extinct species, n monster with an Iron jaw nnd a hundred iron hoofs has walked across the nations, and history nnd poetry and sculps turo, in their attempt to sketch it and de scribe it, have seemed to sweat great drops of blood. But, thank God, there are those who can conquer as this woman of the toxt conquered, and say: "It is well. Though my property begone, though my children bo gone, though my home be broken up, though my health be sacrlflcod, it is well; it is well!" There is no storm on tho sea but Christ Is ready to rise in the hinder part ol the shjp and hush it. There is no darkness but the constellation of God's eternal love can illumine, nnd, though the winter comes out of the Northern sky, you have some times seen that Northern sky all ablaze with auroras which seem to say: "Come up this way. Up this way are thrones of light and seus of sapphire and tho splendor ol an eternal heaven. Come up this way." Again, this woman of my text was great In her application to domestic duties. Every picture is a home Dlcture, whether she Is entertaining an Elisha or whether she is giving careful attenion to her sick boy or whether she is appealing for the restoration of her property. Every picture in her caso is one of domesticity. Those are not disciples of thisHhuuomito woman who, going out to attend to outside charities, uoglect tho duty of homo—the duty of wife, of mother, of duughter. No faith fulness in public benofaction can over atone for domestic negligence. Thcro has been many a mother who by Inde fatigable toil has reared n large family of children, equipping them for tho du ties of life with good mnnners and large intelligence and Christian principle, starting them out, who has done more for tho world than many a woman whoso name has sounded through | all tho lands and through the centurlos. I remember when Kossuth was in this country there were some ladies who got honorable reputations by presenting him very gracefully with bouquets of flowers on public occasions, but what was all that compared with tho plain Hungarian mother who gave to truth and civilization and tho cause of uni versal liberty a Kossuth? Yes, this wom an of my text was great in her sim plicity. When t is prophet wanted to re ward her for her hospitality by asking some preferment from the king, what did she say? She declined it. Sho said, "I dwell among my own people," as much as to say, "I am satisfied with my lot; all I want is my family and my friends around me; I dwell among my own people." Oh, what a rebuke to the strife for pre cedence In all ages! How many there are who want to get great architecture and homes furnlshod wltfi all art, all painting, ail statuary, who have not enough tasto to distinguish between Gothic and Byzantine, and who could not tell a figure in plaster of purls from Palmer's "White Captive," and would not know a boy's penciling from Bierstadt's "Vosemite." Men who buy largo libraries by the square foot, buy ing theso libraries when they have scarcely enough education ti pick out tho day of tlie month in the almanac! Oh, how many there are striving to have things as well as their neighbors or bettor than their neigh bors, and in the struggle vast fortunes are exhausted and business firms thrown Into bankruptcy and iuon of reputed honesty rush into ustounding forgeries! But what I want to impress upon you, my hcurers, is that you ought not to in ventory the luxuries of life among tho iu dlsponsablos, and you ought not to depre ciate this woman of the text, who, when offered kingly proferment, responded, "I dwell among my own peoplo." Yes, this woman of the text was groat in her piety. Just road tho chap ter after you go home. Faith In God, and she was not ashamed to talk about it before Idolaters. Ab, woman will never appreciate what she owes to Christianity until she knows and sees the degradation of her sex under Ism and Mohammedanism! Her very birth considered a misfortune. Sold liko cattle on the shambles. Slave of all work, and at last her body fuel for the funeral pyre of her husband. Above tho shriek of the lira worshipers in India, and above the rumbling cf the Juggernauts I hear the million voiced groan of wronged, Insulted, broken-hearted, downtrodden woman. Her tears have fallen in the Nile and Tigris, the La Plnta.and on the steppes of Tartury. She lias been dishonored in Turkish garden and Persinn palaco and Spanish Alhambra. Her little ones have been sacrificed in the Indus nnd the Ganges. There Is not a groan, or a dungeon, or an island, or a mountain, or a river, or a lake, or a sea but could toll a story of the outruges heaped upon her. But, thanks to God, this glorious Christianity comes forth, und all the claims ot this vassalage are snapped, and she rises from ignominy to exalted sphere and be comes the affectionate daughter, the gentle wife, the honored mother, the useful Cbrls tiau. Oh, if Christianity has done so much for woman, surely woman will become its most ardent advocate and its sublimest ex emplification! It Is reported that the large shoe mann fucturors in New England intend to form a I combination to control the market. j A TEMPERANCE COLUMN. THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST IN MANY WAYS.

The Liquor Trade In America. Though there are doubtless many em ployers of labor on this side, says the Lon iou (Englaud) Hospital, who aro affected ii their eholce of workmen by the fact that :hese are or are not abstainers, we do not bink that the question haseverbeen made :he subject of a Government inquiry here. Sot so in the United States, where the jommission appointed by tho Government schedules the replies made by no loss than S'JOl establishments, detailing their prac tice in regard to tho taking on of the 1,715,- J23 employes iu their service. The em ployers include individuals or companies engaged in agriculture, manufactures, mining and quarrying, transportation and retail trade. The habits aud opinions of these different employers are naturally varied. With 1618 the report Is that the habits of the prospective employes regard ing drinking are not taken into considera tion, but the large majority, viz., 6383, takes means to discover what a man's habits are. Besides those who object to their employes taking intoxicants at any time, whether on or off duty, there are a number of employers who Insist merely that while actually at work they should abstain from liquor, and also those who, while they do not lay restraint on the ma jority of their employes, iusist on those In responsible positions refraining from drink. Thus in all departments of Industry there are a good many llrms who demand abstinence from euglneers, managers and watchmen. In agriculture stress is laid on teamsters being non-drinkers, for fear of carelessness and cruelty in the handling of cattle on the part of Intoxicated men. In mining and quarrying the restriction is ap plied chiefly to handlers of explosives and to electricians aud the like, any blunder on whose part might lead to great Injury to their fellow workers, not to speak of damage to property. Iu transportation almost all branches of the service are, in some compauies, forbidden to have any thing to do with alcohol; trainmen, motor men, conductors, telegraph operators, electricians, switchmen and pilots. What Drunkards Cost Koston. Last year the city of Boston expended the sum of.•£' 115.802 for the support oi drunkards in the Houso of Correction In Suffolk County, according to ligures fur nished by I'eual Institutions Commissioner Marshall. While all of Suffolk County, which includes besides Boston the city oi Chelsea and the towns of Revere and Wln throp, furnishes inmates for the penal in stitutions, the entire cost of maintaining tho institutions is borne by the city of Boston. This is because the control of the institutions Is left wholly to Boston. Commissioner Marshall says of Deer Isl land: "There wero 8447 committals to this institution for drunkenness, and the ag gregate of tho time served by those com mitted was equivalent to 1313 years. With a per capita cost of maintenance of $64.70, tho cost of tho maintenance was £111,212." At the South Boston House of Correction "there were 107 committals for drunken ness, and the aggregate of the time served by those committed was 13,460 days. With a per capita cost of maintenance of 8124.47, tho cost of maintenance of the above num ber was 44590." A Champion's Testimony. A champion cyclist was asked: "Do you ever take spirits ot auy kind? I mean whisky or brandy." "No; they cut the breath short. You •an't race aud take brandy. It may help a little, but It leaves you worse. I believe that if five or six men were together inn race, say two miles from the tape, and ono wa* handed a drink of brandy, it might let him break away and win easily: but if he had ten miles, or had a long race before him, he would find great difficulty in riding. His breath would bo cut short. The mao who driuks brandy or whisky wHI soon be broken-winded." "So you don't believo In brandy?" "No; it may help for a short spurt, but it Is no good for a long run. Only a tem pera'" man can be a good racer." An Authority 011 Alcohol and Longevity. "Life Is considerably shortened by the use ot alcohol in large quantities. But t moderate consumption of the same alsc shortens life by au average of Ave to sis years. This is consistently and unequivo cally seen in the statistics kept for thirty years by English insurance companies, witb special sections for abstainers. They give a large discount, and still make more prof it, as not nearly so many deaths occur as might be expected under the usual calcula tions. According to federal statlstlos in the fifteen largest towns of Switzerland over ton per cent, of the men over twentj years of age die solely or partly of alcohol ism.''—Dr. A. Forel, late Professor of I'sy chlatrle in the University of Zurich. Notes of the Crusade. A saloon is the devil's recruiting station It is true that every instance of excess began with moderate use, and that it is Im possible to predict which person will stay within "moderate" limits and which oni will goon to "excess." It Is also truethal what is generally termed "moderate use' is Itself exeess. ' At the National Vegetarian Congress, held in London last month, the Importance of total abstinence in dietetic reform was discussed. It was generally claimed in the papers presented that tho absence of meal diet materially assisted the drinker to over come his appetite for alcohol. The Mote* In a 112 mm. Counting the dancing motes in a bar of sunlight sounds like one of those hopeless, never ending tasks with which malignant fairies delight to break the spirits of little heroines in the German folk stories. Something more than this, however, has been achieved by modern science, which is now able to count the particles float ing in any given portion of the atmos phere, and determine what portion of these are dangerous germs and what are mere dust. Dr. Franlcland's experiments have shown us how to count the micro organisms, and now a Scotch scien tist, by a totally different method, has been enabled to take stock of the more harmless, but hardly less interesting, dust motes. Thirty thousand such particles have been detected by him in the thousandth of a cubic inch of the air of a room. In the outside atmos phere in dry weather the same meas urement of air yielded 2119, whereas after a heavy rainfall the number was only 521. That this power of prying into at mospheric secrets will eventually yield very important results must be ob vious to all. Among the most curious discoveries already made is the direct and constant relation which exists be tween dust particles and fogs, mist and rain.—Pearson's. The Mental Eye. Thousands upon thousands of per sons ha'tdle our silver dollar, but few happen to observe the lion's head which lies concealed in the represent ation of the familiar head of Liberty; frequently even a careful examination fails to detect this hidden emblem of British rule; but, as before, when once found it is quite obvious. For similar reasons it is a great aid in looking for an object to know what to look for; to be readily found, the ob ject, though lost to sight, should be ta memory clear. Searching is a mental process similar to tlie matching of a piece of fabric in texture or color, when one has forgotten the sampl« and must rely upon the remembranco of its appearance. If the recollection is clear anil distinct, recognition takei place when the judgment decides that what the physical eye sees corresponds to the image in the mind's eyes; with an indistinct mental image the recog nition becomes doubtful or faulty. For correct and accurate vision it is necessary to acquire an alert mental eye that observes all that is objectively visible, but does not permit the sub jective to add to or modify what is really present.—Professor Joseph Jastrow, iu Appleton's Popular Science Monthly. Bright Men Who Are Vegetarians. ' The Vegetarian Society now has hundreds of members and associates. The full members pledge themselves to abstain from the use of flesh, lish and fowl as food, though the vege table diet may bo supplemented by such animal products as eggs, cheese, butter and milk. Among the members and associates of the society are many of the bright est men in London. The late Dr. Spurgeon was a vegetarian, as also Sir Isaac Pitman. They also point with pride to the name of George Bernard Shaw, the journalist and playwright. Shaw said, in giving his reasons for being a vegetarian and a teetotaler, that, iu his opinion, "a man could not do the best work there was in him on a diet of dead animals and whisky."

Lowell. Man, German Emperor'* Employes. There are 1500 people upon the German Emperor's list of employes, including 350 women servants, who are engaged in looking after the twen ty-two royal palace? and castles that belong to the crown. Their wages are small. The women receive not more than sl2 a month and the men servants from sls to $25 a month. In fifteen minutes' time, with only a cakd ot Ivory 7 % Soap and water, you can make in your own kitchen, V a better cleansing: paste than you can buy. » Ivory Soap Paste will take spots from clothing; and will clean carpets, rugs, kid gloves, slippers, patent, enamel, russet leather and canvas shoes, leather belts, painted wood-work and furniture. The special value of Ivory Soap in this form arises from the fact that it can be used with a damp sponge or cloth to cleanse many articles that cannot be washed because they will not stand the free application of water. DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING.—To one pint of boiling water add one and one-half ounces of Ivory Soap cut into shavings, boil five minutes after the Soap is thoroughly dissolved. Remove from the fire, and cool in con _ venieut dishes (not tin.) It will keep well in an air-tight glass jar. jU Oopyrijtt, IW7, bylbtPrceUr4C*mWtCr,ClaelaaMU _fr_ RHEUMATISM NEW ORLEAXS, April 10, 1897. Dn.
