It is said that one clay, when Crom well was but a mere lad, as he was ly ing on his bed in a melancholy mood, a gigantic spectre appeared to him and said, "Thou shalt be the great est man inEuglaud!" Heath says it was a dream; Lord Clarendon and Sir Philip Warwick speak of it as a vision. But whether dream or vision, it made a profound impression on the youth, so much so that his father re quested Dr. Beard —Oliver's school master—to flog him severely for "persisting in the wickedness of such an assertion." The flogging only deepened the impression. He told his uncle Stuart of the prophecy, and was warned that it"was traitorous to relate it." But when he had seated himself upon the throne of England he frequently spoke of the occurrence, and was fully persuaded in his own mind of its prophetic and supernatural character.—Amelia Barr, in Harper's Magazine.

It seems that there are changes ot fashion in the dress of Chinese women, but they are confined chiefly to the change of length of the tunic and the wearing or leaving off of a skirt. The usual garments are trousers, u skirt and two or three little coats. The Chinese woman making an afternoon visit takes off her skirt, when au Amer ican woman would remove her wrap. If it is very warm, she may take ofl one or possibly two of the little coats. The trousers are really the most gor geous part of the costume, being some times of rose-colored satin worked with gold. Blue cotton is generally used for everyday wear. Chinese wom en wear no corsets; they have almost no hips, so they tie the waist cords ot their trousers and skirts very tight to keep them from slipping ofl'.

Subject: "Tlie Acidities of Life"—The Cup of Vinegar Which Christ Took is Typi cal of Life'* Bitterness-—This is the Lot of the Distressed. TEXT: "When Jesus therefore had re ceived the vinegar.''—John xlx., 30. The brigands of Jerusulem had done their work. It wus alino9t sundown, and Jesus was dying. Persons in crucifixion often lingered on from day today, crying, beg ging, cursing, but Christ had been ex hausted by years of maltreatment. Pillow less, poorly fed, flogeed—as bent over and tied to a low post His bare back was in flamed with the scourges intersticed with pieces of lead and bone—and now for whole hours the weight of His body hung on deli cate tendons, and, according to custom, a violent stroke under the armpits had been given by the executioner. Dizzy, nausea ted, feverish—a world of agony is com pressed lu the two words, "I thirst!" O skies of Judcea, let a drop of rain strike on His burning tongue! O world, with rolling rivers and sparkling lakes and spraying fountains, give Jesus something to drink! If there be any pity in earth or heaven or hell, let it now be demonstrated In behalf o" this royal sufferer. The wealthy women of Jerusalem used to have a fund of money with which they provided wine for those people who died in crucifixion, a powerful opiate to deaden the pain, but Christ would not take it. He wanted to die sober, and so He refused the wine. But afterward they goto u cup of vinegar and soak a sponge in it aud put it on a stick of hyssop and then press it against the hot lips of Christ. You say the wine was an anrosthetle and intended to re lieve or deaden the pain. But the vinegar was an insult. In some lives the saccharine seems to predominate. Life is sunshine on a bank of flowers. A thousand hands to clup ap proval. In December or in January, look ing across their table, they see all their family present. Health rubicund. Skies flamboyant. Day? resilient. But in a great many cases there are not so many sugars as acids. The aunoyances and the vexations and the disappointments of life overpower the successes. There is a gravel in almost every shoe. An Arabian legend says that there was a worm in •Solomon's staff, gnawing its strength away, and there is a weak spot in every earthly support that a man leans on. King George of England forgot all the grandeurs of his throne because one day, in an inter view, Beau Brummel called him by his first nutne and addressed him as a servant, cry ing, "George, ring the bell!" Miss Lang don, honored all the world over for her poetic genius, is so worried over the evil reports set afloat regarding her that she is found dead, with an empty bottle of prussic acid in her hand. Goldsmith said that his life was a wretched being and that all that wunt and contempt could bring to it had been brought and cries out: "What, then, is there formidable in a jail?" Cor regglo's lino painting is hung up for a tavern sign. Hogarth cannot sell his best painting except through a raffle. Andre del Sarto makes the great fresco in the Church of the Annunciata at Florence and gets for pay a sat-k of corn, and there are annoyances and vexations in high places as well as in low places, showing that In a great many lives are the sours greater than the sweets. "When Jesus therefore had re ceived the vinegar!" It is übsurd to suppose that a man who lias always been well can sympathize with those who are sick, or that one who bus al ways been honored can appreciate the sor row of those who ure despised, or that one who has been horn to a grt>at fortune can understand the distress and the straits of those WHO are destitute. The fact that Christ Himself took the vinegar makes Him able to sympathize to-day and forever with the sharp acids of this lite. He tool; the vinegar. lu the first place, there was the sourness of betrayal. The treachery of Judas hurt Christ's feelings more than all the friend ship of His disciples did Him good. You have had many friends, but there was one friend upon whom you put especial stress. You feasted him. You louned him money. You befriended him in the dark passes of life, when lie especially needed a friend. After ward he turned upon you, and ho took ad vantage of your former Intimacies. He wrote against you. He tulked against you. He mlcroscopized your faults. He llung contempt at you, when you ought to have received nothing but gratitude. At first, you could not sleep at nights. Then you went about with a sense of having been stung. That difficulty will never be healed, for, though mutual friends may arbitrate in the matter until you shall shake hands, the old cordiality will never come back. Now I commend to all such the sympathy of a betrayed Christ. Why, they sold Him tor less than our S'2o! They all forsook Him and lied. They cut Him to the quick. He drank that cup to the dregs. He took the vinegar. There Is also the sourness of palu. There nre some of you who have not seen a well day for many years. By keeping out of drafts anil by carefully studying dietetics you continue to this time, but, oh, the headaches, aud the side aches, and the back aches, and the heartaches wbichjhuve been your accompaniment all the way through! You have struggled under u heavy mortgage of physical disabilities, and instead of the placidity that once characterized you it is no?.' only with great effort that you keep away from ir ritability aud sharp retort. Difficulties of respiration, of digesUon, of locomotion, make up the great obstacle in your life, and you tug and sweat along the pathway and wonder when the exhaustion wiil end. My friends, the brightest crowns in heaven will not be given to those who in stirrups dashed to the cavalry charge, while tlioGeueral applauded and thesound of clashing sabers rang through the land, but the brightest crowns in heaven, I be lieve, will be given to those who trudged on amid chronic ailments which unnerved their strength, yet all the time maintain ing their faith in God. It is comparative ly easy to fight in a regiment of a thousand men, charging up the parapets to the sound of martial music, but it is not so easy to endure when no one but the nurse and the doctor are the witnesses of the Christian fortitude. All the pangs of all the nations of ull the aires compressed in to one sour cup. He took the vin egar! There is nlso the sournoss of poverty. Your income does not meet your outgoings, and that always gives ,lu honest mini anx iety. There is no sign of destitution about you—pleasant appearance and a cheerful home lor you—but God only knows what a time you have had to manage your private linances. Just as the bills run up the wages seem to run down. You may say nothing, but life to you is a hard push, and when you sit down with your wife and talk over the expenses you both rise up dis couraged. You abridge here, and you abridge there, and you get things snug tor smooth sailing, and, 10, suddenly there is a large doctor's bill to pay, or you have lost your pocketbook, or some debtor has failed, and you are thrown abeam end. Well, broth er, you are In glorious company. Christ owned not the house in which He stopped, or the colt on which He rode, or the boat in which He sailed. He lived in a bor rowed house. Ho was burled in a bor rowed grave. Exposed to all kinds of weather, yet He had only one suit of clothes. He breakfastod in the morning, and no one could possibly tell where He could get anything to eat before night. He would have been pronounced a finan cial failure. He bad to perform a miracle to get money to pay a tax bill. Not a dol lar did He own. Privation of domesticity; privation of nutritious food; privation of'u comfortable couch on which to sleep; pri vation of all worldly resources! The kings *1 the earth had chased chalice* out of whtob to drink, but Christ bad nothing but a plain cup set before Him, and it waa very sharp, and It was very sour. He took tho vinegar. There were years thnt passed along be fore your family circle was Invaded by death, but tho moment the charmed clrole was broken everything seemed to dissolve. Hardly have you put the black apparel in the wardrobe before you have again to take it out. Great and rapid changes In your family record. You got the house and rejoiced in it, but the charm was gone as soon as the crape hung on the doorbell. The one upon whom you most depended was taken away from you. A cold marble slab lies on your heart to-day. Once, as the children romped through the house, you put your hand over your aching head and said, "Oh, if I could only have It still!" oh. It is too still now. You lost your patience when the tops and the strings and the shells were left amid floor; but, oh, you would be willing to have the trinkets scattered all over the floor again If they were scattered by ihesame hands. With what a ruthless plowshare bereave ment rips up the heartl But Jesus knows all about that. You cannot tell Him any thing now In regard to bereavement. He had only a few friends, and when He lost one It brought tears to His eyes. Lazarus had often entertained Him at his house. Now Lazarus is dead and buried, and Christ breaks down with emotion, the con vulsion of grief shuddering through all the ages of bereavement. Christ knows what it Is togo through the bouse missing a familiar inmate. Christ knows what it 1? to see an unoccupied place at the table. Were there not four of them—Mary and Martha and Christ and Lazarus? Four of them. But where i3 Lazarus? Lone'.yand afflicted Christ, His groat loving eyeslllled with tears! Oh, yes, yes! He knows all about tho loneliness and the heartbreak. He took the vinegar! Then there Is the sourness of the death hour. Whatever else we may escape, that acid sponge will be pressed to our lips. I sometimes have a curiosity to know how [ will behave when I come to die. Whether I will be calm or excited, whether I will be filled with reminiscence or with anticipa tion. I cannot say. But come to the point I must and you must. An officer from the future world will knock at the door of our hearts and serve on us the writ of ejectment, and we will have to sur render. And we will wake up after these autumnal and wintry and vernal and sum mery glories have vanished from our vision. We will wake up into a realm which has only one season, and that the season of everlasting love. But you say: "I don't want to break out from my present associations. It is so chilly and so damp togo down the stairs of that vault. I don't want anything drawn so tightly over my eyes. If there were only some way of breaking through the partition between worlds without tear ing this body all to shreds! I wonder if the surgeons and the doctors cannot com pound a mixture by which this body and soul can all the time be kept together. Is there no escape from this separation?" None, absolutely none. A great many men tumble through tho gates of the future, a3 it were, and wo do not know where they have gone, and they only add gloom and mystery to the passage, but Jesus Christ so mightily stormed the gates of that future world that they have never since been closely shut. Christ knows what it 1s to leave this world, of the beauty of which He was more apprecia tive than we ever codld be. He knows the oxquisiteness of the phosphorescence of the sea; He trod It. Ho knows the glories of tho midnight heavens, for they were the spangled canopy of His wilder ness pillow. He knows about the lilies; He twisted them into His sermon. He knows about Mie fowls of the air; thoy whirred tliey way through His discourse. He knows about tho sorrows of leaving this beautiful weald. Not a taper was kindled In the darkness. He died physleianless. He died in cold sweat and dizziness and hom morhage and agony, that have put Him In sympathy with all tho dying. He goes through Christendom and gathers up the stings out of all the death pillows, and He puts them under His own neck and head. To all those to whom life has been an acerbity—a dose thev could not swallow, a draft that set their teeth on edge and a rasplng—l preach the omnipotent sympa thy ot Jesus Christ. Tho sister of Her schell. tho astronomer, used to spend much of her time polishing the telescopes through which he brought the distant worlds nigh, and it is my ambition now this hour to clear tho lens of your spiritual vision so that, looking through tho dark night of your earthly troubles you may behold the glorious constella tion of a Saviour's mercy and a Saviour's love. Oh. my friends, do not try to carry all your ills alone! Do not put your poor shoulder under the Apennines when the Almighty Christ is ready to lift up all your burdens. When you have a trouble of any kind, you rush this way and that way, and you wonder what tf-J; aian will say about it and what that man iv.dsay about it, and you try this prescription and that prescription and the othejr prescrip tion. Oh, why do you not g~ straight to the heart of Christ, knowing that for our own sinning and suffering race He took the vinegar? There was a vessel that had been tossed on the seas for a groat many weeks and beou disabled, and tho supply of water gave cut, aud tho crew were dying of thirst. After many days they saw a sail against the sky. They signaled it. When the vessel came nearer, the people on the tuttering ship cried to the captain of the other vessel: "Send us some water! Wt are dying for lack of waterl" And the captain on the vessel that was hailed re sponded: "Dip your buckets where you are. You are in the mouth of the Amazon, and there are scores of miles of fresh water all around nbout you and hundrods of feet deep!" And then they dropped their buckets over the side of ifie vessel and brought up the clear, bright, fresh water aud put out the fire of their thirst. So I hail you to-day, after a long aud perilous voyage, thirsting as you are for pardon, and thirsting for comfort, and thirsting for eternal life, and I ask you what is the use of your going in that death-struck state, while ull around you is the deep, clear, wide, sparkling llood of God's sym pathetic mercy? Oh, dip your buckets and drink and live forever! "Whosoever will, let him come and take of the water ol life freely." Yet there nre people who refuse this divine sympathy, ana tliev try to fight tlieir own battles, and drink their own vinegar, and carry their own burdens, and their life, instead of being a triumphal march from victory to victory, will be n hobbling ou from defeat to defeat until they make final surrender to retributive disaster. Oh, I wish I could to-day gather up In my arms all the woes of men and women, all their heartaches, all their disap pointments, all their chagrins, and just take them right to the feet of a sympathiz ing Jesusl He took the vinegar. Nana Sahib, after he had lost his last battle in India, fell,back into the jungles of Iheri —jungles so full of malaria that no mortal can live there. Ho carried with him also a ruby of great lustre and of great value. He died in those jungles. His body was never found, aud the ruby has never yet been recovered. And I fear that 15-day there are some who will fall back from this subject Into the sickening, killing jun gles of their sin, carrying a gem of infin ite value—a priceless soul to be lost for ever. Oh, that that ruby might flash in the eternal ooronationl But, no. There are some, I fear, who turn away from this offered mercy and comfort and divine sympathy notwithstanding that Christ, for all who accept His grace, trudged the long way, and suffered the lacerating thongs, and received in His face the expectora tions of the filthy mob, and for the guilty, and the discouraged, and the discomforted of the race took the vinegar.

Thirty years ago American corn— or maize, as the English still call it— was almost unknown in the Eastern countries of Europe except as i\ food for cattle. It is true that commeal was eaten by the peasants of Italy in the mixture they called polenta, but that the demand was small was shown by the fact that it was almost wholly supplied by corn grown on Italian soil. Attempts were made at the ex positions held in Paris in 18G7 and 1889 to teach Europeans the value of cornmeal as food, but it is only recent ly that these efforts seem to have borne fruit. While our exports of corn to conti nental Europe have increased with wonderful rapidity during the last five jr six years, there is opportunity for a still greater sale of this cereal if the people of Europe can be taught to jomprehend its excellence. At the Paris Exposition that is to oe held iu 1900 further attempts to popularize Illinois' great product will be made, and it is to be hoped that no pains and no reasonable expense will be spared to increase the demand for jornmeal, or cereal flour. It is a well recognized fact that when the farmer is prosperous all his fellow-country- | men are prosperous also. Consequent ly if we succeed in fiuding purchasers for a large additional quantity of farm produce we have done much to bring prosperity to all our people.—Chicago Times-Herald. Tender Flet.li.
