. The Ural Cossacks, who live on the
boundary between European Russia
and Asia, have been kuowu in Russia
Ifor a long time, not only as brave sol
diers ill war time, but also as peaceful
fishermen, carrying on the fishing in
dustry on a very largo plan and in
fluite a peculiar manner.
The economical importance of the
fisheries for this people is so immense
that it influences their whole life, not
excepting the military service. The
Ural Cossacks have ready for the
service every year about three thou
sand cavalry, and in case of war every
adult may be called onto serve as a

6oldier. The entire population is about
110.000 souls.
The Ural lilver is tho only large riv
er that is entirely given over to the
fishing industry, all sorts of commer
cial navigation being absolutely for
bidden from Uralsk to the Caspian Sea
—330 miles—and more than that In
some places, where sturgeon congre
gate for their winter sojourn, no one
is permitted In a boat, to make any
noise or build a fire on the shore, etc.
By the laws of the community sum
mer fishing Is almost entirely pro
hibited, for the purpose of protecting
the spawn. The fish are allowed to
enter the river from the sea and ser
tle there quietly for the winter. All
possible means are used to secure for
the fish an unrestricted passage to the
tipper parts of the river, but not be
yond Uralsk, where a carrier is con
structed across the river to keep them
back.
Owing to this arrangement, the low
er part of the river forms a large nat
ural fish pond, 330 miles in length,
where the fish are carefully watched
l>y a. groat many fish wardens until
the regular time for fishing, which is
fixed by general consent of the com
munity.
As a rule, one part of the river, the
lower, is intended to be fished out In
the fall, the other, upper, portion in
winter. The fall fishing begins about
the 17th of September. On a certain
day, the "fishing army," as it is called,
moves to the fishing places, which are
sometimes very far from home. The
Cossack cart 3, generally drawn by
camels, contain not only nets and pro
visions, but also the boat used In tills
fishing. The boats are known by the
name of boudara, are so light that two

of them may bo carried in one cart.
The bomlaras are taken from the carts,
and early in the appointed morning
they are plae°d at the edge of the
water, iglit along the river. No less
than 3000 boats, each containing two
men, meet on the shores. To main
tain discipline, a chief, or "fishing ata
man," is appointed, and several repre
sentatives of the fishermen are elected
to assist the chief. The ataman gives
a signal to commence fishing by a can
non shot, and then the crowd rush to
the boats, and In less time than one
<'an realize what has happened i:II
the fishermen are in their boats and a
peculiar kind of boat racing com
mences. Various kinds of sturgeon,
from thirty to <>INI pounds weight,
Sander, carp, bream and silurus are
the principal tlsh caught. The seiues
differ, of course, in the slxe of their
meshes, a to tin- fish for which
they are Intended.

ing Is froui MM i,i NM i to Tl'.< MM i.Ooi)
pounds, which lucludes two hundred
and sixteeu thousand pounds sturgeon
and about twenty-one thousand six
hundred pounds caviare.
Auother large army of equal magni
tude, consisting oi' carts, accompanies
large number of carts, accompanies
the fishing army. These carts are con
tracted to carry the catch to the city
markets, there being no railroad In
this step|Mf. No li ss than in.iss) carts
are used here.
The fishing in the upper part of the
Ural Itlver Is carried on In winter,
under the l<-e, und that Is the most
peculiar of all fisheries. U is called
"bagrenle," which means "hooking,"
because the fishing is accomplished by
a peculiar kiud of hook. When the
Ice In the river becomes firm enough
to support the weight of the fishing
army, which generally takes place in
December, an order is given for the
army to meet at Uralsk, from which
point the fishing is begun. On a fixed
day, thousands of people, old nn;l
young, hasten to the shores. The
fishermen are armed with a chist?!,
and two haft-hooks—the long one, wit?)
a haft of seven or more fathoms, is
used for catching fish in deep places
on the bottom; the short one is des
tined to hold the fish when it is
brought to the surface of the ice.
At the signal two living waves of
people rush forward to the middle of
the river, and the arduous work be
gins, everyone trying to be the first to
make a hole in the ice with a chisel.
In a few minutes an entire forest of
long hafts grows up over the ice. The
fishermen move the haft up and down
and listens intently that he may know
when the fish touch the hook. Once
this has happened, he hooks the fish
by an alert movement, then hauls It

ice, calling In ike meantime for help

here usually in groups of from six to
twenty men, for it is not easy work to
pull up a huge sturgeon of several
hundred pounds weight. In a very
short time the surface becomes marked
with blood und covered with big fish.
The most Important lish caught in
winter are different kinds of sturgeon,
desired principally for the roe.—Phila

Electric Time Alarm.
When the bell of an ordinary alarm
clock begins to ring the sleeper is apt
to wake up sufficiently to think it will
stop soon, and as he is not compelled
to arise and stop ft, the result is often
auother nap with Its consequent de

tion has led to the designing of the
continuous ringing alarm, of which
several are already in use. The elec
tric alarm, which we show in the ac

patented by Siiuon Wolf, of Essen,
Germany, and has at least one novelty
to recommend It It is directly con

for tho sleeper to stop it until he gets
up to stay. Underneath the bed Is a
series of contact points, one of which
is shown in the picture, the weight
of the person forcing them together. A
clock is used in connection with tho
apparatus, and as soon as the hour of
rising is indicated the remaining open

Q The Pea Aplila at Work Methods
3 of Dentroying It. O
coooocoooococoooooooooocoS
The appearance of the pea aphis,
which last year attacked the peas in
Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New
York. Pennsylvania, Virginia, North
Carolina and Connecticut, has called
Attention to the fact that pea culture
is an important Industry in the United
States. The attack which the pea
louse made on the growing crop last
season caused a loss of about $3,000,-
000.
The louse has been known only
about one year, but It has established
Its name as an economic pest. It ap
pears suddenly and in large numbers,
and soon kills the plants. The winged
insect is about one-eight of an inch
long, with a wing expanse of ncajiy
one-quarter of an inch. It is pale green,
with darker legs and long honey
tubes. The female produces living
young, which reach maturity in from
ten to fifteen days, and in less time
when the weather is hot.
An observer of the pea louse writes
this as to its peculiarities:
"A young one born on March 4
reached maturity—the winged form
on March 10, and was producing liv
ing young on the 19th. From March
19 to April 17 she became the mother
of 111 young, and died on the latter
date. Her first young—wingless form
—born on March 19 produced on March
31, or eleven days from date of birth.
From March 31 to April 18 she gave
birth to 120 young and died."
When they are permitted <od
unchecked the pest sweeps a
large area in a short time, and ny
large fields have been killed in a DW
days.
The natural enemies of the pea louse
arc lady beetles and their larvae, the
lace winged fly and its larvae, the
syrphus fly and its young, and soldier
beetles. These have been abundant in
many parts of the country this year
where peas had been planted, and in
some parts of the country these natur
al enemies have saved twenty-five per
cent, of the crop. Many were also
destroyed by the fungous disease, and
In places where the lice have appeared
the growers wish for (lamp, warm nnd
sultry weather, under which conditions
the fungous disease usually develops.
It will not do, however, a pea grow
er said, to depend too much on these
natural destroyers. He recommends
the use of the brush and cultivator
where the peas are in rows. A destroy
ing spray composed of tobacco, whale
oil soap and water was used with good
effect until it became known that the
6pray destroyed also a natural enemy
of the pen louse. This enemy Is the
syrphus worm. Tills insect's power
(is an exterminator of pen lice is de
monstrated in the report of an ob
server to the Maryland Agricultural
College. He says:
"The syrphus worms feed on the lire
nt a rapid rate. Yesterday we found
a syrphus worm nearly full grown and

placed a louse within Its reach, when
It was quickly devoured. We then
placed a mother anil seven newly born
lice clustered about her in a small
vial, enclosed the syrphus worm atid
fouud that by actual time the worm
destroyed the seven lice lu exactly
seven minutes aud the mother a little
later."
The writer warn pea growers not to
destroy the syrphus, and 111 order to
avoid all possibility of doing so to
use uo spray against the pea destroyer.
Wheu the lice are brushed off and the
ground Is hot the little creatures arc
roasted to death by the sun.

DR. TALMAGHVS SERMON
SUNDAY'S DISCOURSE BY THE NOTED
DIVINE.
Subject: Entering the Half—Kxultant Ad
mission Awaltfi Those Who Have Uved
For Others, Willie the Bigot and Pen
urious Will Barely Squeeze Through.
(Copyright 1901.1
WASHINGTON, D. C. —Tn n very novel
way Dr. Talmage in his discourse describes
what may he expected in the next world
by those who here bend all their energies
in the right direction; text. IT Peter i,
11, "For so an entrance shall be minis
tered unto you abundantly."
Different styles of welcome at the gate
of heaven are here suggested. We all
hope to enter that supernal capital through
the orrace that is ready to sav: even the
chief of sinners, hut. not now. No man
healthy of body and mind wants togo
now. The man who hurls himself out of
this life is either an agnostic or is de
mented. or finds life insufferable, nnd
does not care where he lands. This is the
best world we ever got into, and we want
to stay here as long as Cod will let us stay.
But when the last paore of the volume of
our earth'v life is ended we want, enroll
ment in heavenly citiz-nship. We want
to get in casilv. We do not want to he
challenged at. the gate and asked to show
our passports. We do not want the gate
keener in doubt as to whether we ought
togo in at all. We do not want to be
kept in the portico of the temple until
consultation is made as to where we came
from nnd who we are and whether it. is
safe to admit us. lest we be a discord in
the eternal harmonies or lower the spirit
of heavenlv worship. When the Apostle
Peter in the text addresses the people.
"For so an entrance shall be administered
unto you abnndantlv," he implies that
some will find admission into heaven easy,
ranturous and acclamatory, while others
will have to squeeze through the gate, of
heaven, if they get in at all. They will
arrive anxious and excited and apprehen
sive and wondering whether it will be
"Come!" or "Oo!" The riible sneaks of
such persons as "scarcely saved." and in
nnother place as "saved as by fire," and in
another place as escaped "hy the skin of
the teeth."
Carrying out the suggestion of my text.
I pronose to show vou what classes of
Christians will get into heaven with a
hard push and those who will bound in
amid salutations infinite. In the first
rlass I put that man who gets into the
kingdom of Cod at the close of a life all
given to worldliness and sin. Years ng'>
he mode the resolution (hat he would
serve himself and serve the world until
body, mind and soul were exhausted, nnd
then, just before going out of this life,
would seek (Jod and prepare to enter
heaven. Ife carries out his resolution.
He genuinely repents the last day or the
last hour or the last minute of his life.
He takes the last seat in the last car of
the last train bound heavenward. His re
leased and immortal spirit ascends. Not
nne wing bears down toward him with a
welcome. No sign of gladness at his ar
rival. None there obligated to him for
kindness done or alm r distributed or spir
itual help administered. He will find some
place to stay, but I do not envy that man
his heaven. He got in, but it was not an
abundant entrance.
Sometimes in our pulnits we give a
wrong turn to the story of the dying thief
to whom Christ said: "This day shalt
thou be with Me in paradise." We ought
to admire the mercy r.f the Christ that
pardoned him in the last hour, but do not
let us admire the dying thief. When he
was arrested I think his pockets were full
5f Stolen coin and the coat he had on his
back was not his own. He stole right on
until lie was arrested for his crimes. He
repented, and through great merev arose
to paradise, but he was no example to
follow. What a gigantic meanness to de
vote the wondrous enuipment of brain and
! nerve and muscle and bone with which we
ire endowned, these miracles of sight and
hearing and speech, to purposes unworthy
or profane and then, through hastv re
pentance at the last enter heaven. Cheat
ing God all one's lifetime and then taking
advantage of a bankrupt law and made
free of all liabilities. I should think that
some men would be ashamed to enter
heaven.
Again, the bigot will not have what my
text calls an abundant entrance. He has
his bedwarfed opinion as to s.hat all must
believe and do in order to gain celestial
residence. He has his creed in one pocket,
ind his catechism in another pocket, and
it may be a good creed and a good cate
chism. but he uses them as sharp swords
against those who will not accept his the
ories. You must be baptized in his way
or come to him through apostolic succes
sion or he foreordained of eternity or you
are in an awful way. He shrivels up and
shrivels up and becomes more splenetic
until tlie time of his departure is at hand.
has enough of the fait of grace to save
lim, but his entrance into heaven will be
lomething worth watching. What do they
vant with him in heaven, where they
lave all gone into eternal catholicity, one
rrand commingling of Methodists and
Baptists and Episcopalians and Lutherans
ind Congregationalism and Presbyterians
ind a score of other denominations iust
is good as any I have mentioned? They
ill join in the halleluiah chorus, accompan
ied by harners on their harps and trump
iters on their trumpets, "Worthy is the
Lamb that was slain to receive h'essing
ind riches and honor and glory and pow
er."
Denominations of Christians on earth
were necessary in order to better work
ind to suit preferences, as an army must
be divided into regiments, yet one army:
is a neighborhood must be divided into
families, though one neighborhood. Hut
there is no need for such divisions in heav
en, ami therefore all belong to one de
nomination of sainthood. What will be
the bigot's amazement when he sees
seated side hv side on the hanks of the
river of life Calvin and Arminins, Arch
bishop Cranmer and some dissenting
preacher of the gospel who never gradu
ated. one who on earth was a robed and
lurpliced ecclesiastic, and a backwoods
minister who iu the log cabin meeting
house preached in a linen duster? Among
the great surprises of heaven for the bigot
will he the celestial friendliness of those
who on earth opposed each other in wrath
iest polemics, lie will get through the
gate, for he has a spark of divine grace in
his heart, hut there will not be an inch
of room to spare on either side of him. It
will not take long for heaven to educate
him into a glorious big heartedncss.
Again, the penurious Christian will not
have an abundant entrance. Perhans he
was not converted until all his habits of
tight (Wtedness were fixed beyond recov
ery. The people who are generous were
taught to be generous in childhood. Vou
can tell from the way that boy divides the
ippls vHtl Ins characteristics far gvnir
osity or meanness will be for the next
eighty years if he lives so long. If he eat
it all himself while others look wistfullv
on, he will be a Shy lock If he give half
of it to some one who has no apple he
will be an ordinarily generous man If
he give three fourths of it to another, he
will be a Itaron tlirseh or a tieoigs Pea
body.
For thirty years tins man has been prac
(icing an economy which prided itself on
never nasaing a pin without nuking it up,
and if he responded at all in clmrcli
would put on the collection elate so insig
nificant a coin that he held Ins liana over
it so that no one could discover the small
MM of the denoininatin*. Koumwbere in
the fifties or sixties of his life, during t
revival of religion, he became a Christian
He '8 very much changed in most respecta
but his all absorbing acquisitiveness still
influences hiin. To extract from hiin a gifi
for an orphanage or a church or a pool
woman who has just been burnt out is ai
achievement.
Cut the day is coming for that pentirioui
Christian's departure from the world. H«
has an awful struggle in giving up hii
Government securities. The attorney wht
drew his last will and testament saw how
hard it was for him to leave his farm 01
his storehouse or investments, especiall)
those that in the markets are called gilt

cent, he easily resigns to the eare of hii
executors, but those that yield eight 01
nine or ten per cent., how cm lie give
them up while the market is still rising:
Bolstered up in bed. knowing be has got
to sign it, he reads the document over and
over again, anil then, with a manner that
seems to say, "Well, if I must 1 must." he
signs his name to that surrender of hif
last farthing of earthly possessions. lit
enters heaven, but he has not an abundanl
entrance.
But lliat brings me to the other thought
of my text, that there are those who will
when they leave this life bound into
heaven amid salutations infinite. "For an
entrance shall be administered unto you
abundantly." Such exaltant admission
will await those who enter heaven after
on earth living a life for others and with
out reference to conspieuity.
1 asked the manager of an insane asy
lum in Kentucky, "From what class of
persons do you get most of your patients?"
and he said, "From farmers' wives." I
asked the same question of the manager
of an insane asylum in Pennsylvania and
the same question of the manager of an
insane asylum in Massachusetts and got
the same reply. "We have on our roll?
for treatment more farmers' wives than
persons coming from any other class."
That answer will be a surprise to some.
It was no surprise to me.
Well, this man of consecrated affluence
is about togo out of this world. He feels
in brain and nerve the strain of the early
struggles by which he won his fortune,
and at sixty or seventy years collapses un
der the exhaustions of the twenties and
thirties of his lifetime. When the morn
ing papers announce that he is gone there
is excitement not only on the avenues
where the mansions stand, but all through
the hospitals and asylums and the homes
of those' who will henceforth have no
helper. Hut the excitement of sadness on
earth is a very tame affair compared with
the excitement of gladness in heaven. The
guardian angel of that good man's life
swept by his dying pillow the night be
fore and on swift wing upward announced
that in a few hours he would arrive, and
there is a mighty stir in heaven. "He
comes!" cries seraph to seraph. The
King's heralds are at the gates to say.
"Come, ye blessed," and souls who were
saved through the churches that good
man supported and hundreds who went
up after being by hiin helped in theit
earthly struggle will come down off their
thrones and out of their palaces and
through the streets to hail him into the
land which they reached some time before
through his Christian philanthropy. Now.
that is what 1 call an abundant entrance,
lou see, it is not necessary to be a failure
on eartli in order to be a success in heaven.
Hut 1 promise that all those who have
lived for others and been truly Christian,
whether on a large scale or a small scale,
will have illustrious introduction into the
impearled gateway. Here and there in
some large family you see an attractive
daughter who declines marriage that she
may take care ot father and mother in old
days. This is not an abstraction. I have
known such. You have probably known
such. There are in this world womanly
souls as Dig as that. They cheerfully en
dure the whimsicalities and querulousness
which sometimes characterize the aged
and watch nights when pneumonia is
threatened and are eyes to the blind and
sit in close rooms lest the septuagenarian
be chilled ami count out the right number
of drops at the right time.
After years of filial fidelity on the part
of this self sacrificing daughter the old
folks go home. Now the daughter is free
from marital alliance, but the damask rose
in her cheek is faded, and the crow's feet
have left their mask on the forehead, and
the gracefulness is gone out of the figure,
and the world calls her by a mean and
ungallant name. But, my Lord and my
God, surely Thou wilt make it up for that
girl in heavenly reward! On all the banks
of the river of life there is no castle of
emerald and carbuncle richer than that
which awaits her. Its windows look right
out upon the King's park, and the white
horses of the chariot are being harnessed
to meet her at the gate, and if there are
no others to meet her father anil mother
will be there to thank her for all she did
for them when their strength failed and
the grasshopper became a burden, and
they will say: '"My daughter, how kind
you were to us even until the last! How
good it is to he together in heaven! That
is the King's chariot come for you. Mount
and ride to your everlasting home!" Now,
tnat is what I call an abundant entrance.
Know right well that in whatever sta
tion of life you now move, and whether
your intellectual faculty be brilliant or
dull, and your worldly resources opulent
or poor, you may have at the gate of
heaven jubilant and triumphant reception
All soldiers cannot Vie Hannibals anil
Marlboroughs, all admirals cannot be Du
pouts and Farraguts, all authors cannot
be Bacons and Southeys, neither can all
Christians be l'auls and Kichard Cecils.
Do your best right where you are, asking
God's help, and you will not only win glo
rious admission, but you will make all
your life in heaven a grander aud higher
life.
Oh, child of God, if you had never
thought of it before, I present the start
ling fact that you are now deciding not
only the style of your heavenly reception,
but the grade of your association and en
joyment of the world without end. Are
you satisfied with yuurselt that you can
afford to throw away raptures and ignore
heavenly possibilities ami elect yourself to
lower status and classify yourself amid
the less efficient when you may mount a
higher heaven?
While 1 thus discourse 1 am aware that
some have not taken the first step toward
heaven, and they feel like Jacob Strawn,
u ho look some ministers of the goipel on
the top of his house to show Ins 112 irms,
reaching in every direction as tar as eye
could see. He was asked how many acres
he owned, and he replied, 40,000. "How
much is it worth per acre?" was asked,
and he replied, "Fifty dollars, at least."
"Then," said the minister, "you are worth
000,000." "Ves," said Strawn, "and 1
made it all myself." Then the nunistei
said, "You have shown me these earthly
poao'ssioni, and now will you look up yon
der," pointing to the heavens. 'How
much tlo you own up there?" and Strawn
answered, with tears in his eyes. "Oh, I
am afraid lam poor up there." Alas
how many there are who nave acquired all
earthly prosperities and advantages, but
have ii' treasures in heaven. They ai>
poot up there.
Hut I am to ilny chiefly addressing those
who are started for heaven and would
ha\e them know that while we are apt to
speak of a l.aiiipliicr, the founder of Ful
ton street prayer meeting*, as having an
abundant entrance, and I'homas Weld,
and Fletcher, the glorious preachers of (lit
gospel, as haxing an abundant entrance,
you also, if you live and serve the Cord
and fulfill your mission, whether it tie ap
plauded or unknown, will have when youi
work on earth is ended and you are call*' 1
to come un higher an easy, a blissful, au
enrapturing, au abundant cntrtac*.
