A Prophecy.
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.

The Chinese Woman's Ureas.
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'.

DE. TALMAGE'S SERMON.
SUNDAY'S DISCOURSE BYTHE NOTED
DIVINE.
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. May God
Almighty break the Infatuation and lead
yon out Into the strong hope, and the good
cheer, and ttaa glorious sunshine el this
I triumphal gospall

To Make Corn Popular Abroad.
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
