In tlio prisons ol thn olden tlnut It was t'je
custom to put prlsonnrs In a cell toetlier,
nnd I am sorry to say it Is the custom still
in some ot our prisons; so that when thn
day of HUtritlon comes the men, Instead
ot being reformed, am turned out brutes,
not men, ench ono Laving learned the vices
of all the rest.
We mny In our worldly occupation be
obliged to talk tonud coinmlnglo with bud
people, but lie who voluntarily clioosen
Hint kind of nssoelnlion is carrying on ii
courtship with a I)"lllali which will shcat
thn locks of bis strength, nnd be will he
tripped Into perdition. Look over all the
millions of the raco, and you cHiinot show
me a single Instance where n man volun
tarily associated w.th the bnd for one vent
nnd muintalned bis Integrity. Hln Is catch
ing; it is Infectious; it is epidemic
A young man wakes up lu one of out
grunt cities knowing only the gentlemen
of the II nn luto whoso service be tins en
tered. In tho morning he enters the store,
nnd all the clerks mark him, measure him,
discuss 111 tn . The bad clerks of that estab
lishment, ttio good clerks ol that estnb
llshm nt stand m some relation to him.
Tlio good clerks will wish him well, but
they will wait for a formal Introduction,
nnd even after they have had the Intro
duction they nro 'very cautious us to
whether they sIihII call him Into their uaso
clntlon before they know hi ill very well.
Hut tho bud youpg men In that estMl)
llslimeut all gather around blm. They
pntroni.o blm, they offer to show blm
everything that thorn Is lu tho city on ono
condition tbut he will psy the expenses,
for it alwny.H happens so when it good
young man and a bud vounn mnn go to
gether to a placu of evil entertainment
the good young man always hns to pny the
charges. Just at the time the tloket Is to
bo paid for or the champagne hill Is to tin
settled tbo bud young man will elTect em
barrassment and feel around in his pockets
and sny, "Well, well, rcully I huve for
gotten my pockntbook,"
In forty-eight hours nfter this Innocent
young mun has entered the store tho bad
young men will gather around him, slop
dim on tbo shoulder with familiarity, and,
if be is Ktupld in not being able to tukc
eertalu allusions, will say, "Ab, my young
friend, you will liavo to lie broken In,"
Aud forlbwitu tbey go to work to "break
blm lu."
Ob, young mnn, let no fallen young man
slap you on the shoulder fnmilliirlyl Turn
around nnd givo a withering glance thai
will make tho wretch cower in your pres.
eiioe. Thnro Id no inoustroslty of wicked
ness that cuii stnud before, tho glnnce ol
purity and boner. Ood keeps tho light
iilngs of heaven lu ills own scabbard, anil
no human may reucli them, but God gives
to every young man a lightning which lie
may uso, and that is thu lightning of ao
honest eye. Anybody that understands the
temptations ot our great cities knows the
uso ot one sermou like this, In which I try
to enforce the thought that it "companion
ot fools shall be destroyed."
And, II rat , I olmrgo you, avoid the skeptln
that is, tho young man who puts bin
thumb lu bl3 vent mid swaggers about,
scoffing lit your old fashioned religion,
thon taking out tho llible nnd turning ovct
to somii mystorlous passugn and suylug:
"Explnln that, my friend, explnln that. I
used to think just ns you do. My father nnd
mother used to think Just is you do. lint
you cun't scare mo about the future. I
used to bollevo iu tboso things but I've got
over It." Yes, lie has got over it, nnd you
will get over it if you Bfiy In Ids compan
ionship much longer. Fur awhile he may
not bring onu argument uguliibt cur holy
Christianity. lie will ty scoffs and Jeers
and ciirioatuies destroy your faith In that
religion which was tho comfort of your
father tn his declining years nnd tho plllow
ou which your old mother lay n-dylng.
That brilliant young skeptln will lifter
awhile have to die, and bis diamond will
flush no Splendor Into the eyo of death.
His hair will lie uncombed ou the pillow.
Dontl: will coinu up, and this skeptic will
nay to blm: "I caunot die. I cannot die."
lieath will i-uy: "Vou must die. You
have but ton seconds mom to live. Your
cool givo It to mo right away. loursoul!"
"Oh, nol" says tho skeptic. "Do not
breathe that cold air Into my face. You
crowd mo too bard. It is getting dark in
the room. Hero take my riugs and take
all the pictures in the room, but let mo
off." "No," nays lieiith, Your soul! Your
soull" Then the dylug skeptic Loylns to
say, "OQodl" Death says, "You declared
there win. no tiod." Tliou the dying skep
tic says, "I'ray for me," und Heath says:
"It is too lato to pray; you have only three
seconds more to live, and I will count them
off one, two, ttree. Gone!" Where
Where? Carry blin out nnd lay blm down
beside bis old father ana luuther, who
died under the delusions of tlio Christian
religion singing the songs of victory.
Again, avoid tho Idlers that Is, those
people who gather around the store or the
shop or the factory and trv to seduce you
away from your regular calling and lu yuut
business hours try to seduce you away.
There Is nothing that would plonse them
so well as to have you give up your em
ployment nnd aonsort with them.
These idlers you will ttnd standing mound
the engine bouses or atandlug at noonday
or about noon aou the steps of some hotel
or fashionable restaurant. They have not
dlnod tl.are. Thev never dined there. They
Dover .will dine there, lleiore you Invite a
young man Into yoi-.r association ask him
jdnlnly, "What do you do fora living?" If
he says. "Nothing; I am ii gentleman,"
look out for blm, I earn not how soft Ills
band or bow elegaut his apparel or bow
biph "iuidng bl" family nirp". his tou?h
'.s death.
These people who have nothing to do
will come around you lu your busy hours,
and they will ask vou to ride with Ilium to
Chevy Chase or to Central I'nrU, nnd thuy
will tell you of .mine excursion that you
must nittkoof somo (vine that you must
drink, of some beautiful duuuor that you
must see. They will try to take you away
from your regular work. Associate with
these men', and, first of all, you will be
oomo ashamed of your apparel; then you
will lose your place, then you will lose
your respectability, then you will lose your
loul.
Idleness la thn next door to vlllalnv.
Whun the pollen go to find criminal's,
whore do they go to Hud them? They llud
tiiiini among tlio Idle tlioso who hiivu
nothing to do, or, having something to do,
refuse toeuguirelu their dally work. Honiu
ono came to good old Ashbel (iruen and
asked him why bo worked at eighty years
of iitto wheu It was time for him to re:it.
"OU," be replied, "I work to keep out of
inltobloll" And uo mail cuu ultord to be
Idle. I care cot bow strong bis moral
character, ha caunot afford to be Idle.
Hut you say: "A great many people nro
sn tiering from enforced idleness. During
tho hard times there were n great ninny
people out of iMuphiymeut." I kuow It,
but the ti nea ot dullunss In buslnesa are
tho times when men nucht to bo thor
oughly eugaged lu Improving their minds
nnd enlarging their bcurts. Tim fortune
to bo made tweuty years from now will be
made liy thu youug meii who in the times
wueu. business waa dull, cultivated their
minds anil improved tneir nesrts. xney '
will get thn fortunes after awnlle, while
those men who hang around their stores,
never engaging In any useful oneuputlon.
will bo as poor then ns they nro now. It Is
absurd for n Christian mnn to say Us has
nothing to do.
I went Into a store In Kw York whnr
there were live Christian men, nnd they
iinhl tbey bad nothing to do, Tlio whole
world lying In sin. I'over;y to bo com
forted, slokness to be alleviated, a llible In
the back office, overy opportunity of men
tal culture, spiritual culture; nvnry tci
ducemen: to work, yet n Christian mini,
sworn before high be iven to consecrate
his whole life to 'isefniness, has nothing to
dol It you hnvo not any business for this
world, my Christian friend, then you ought
to bo doing busln-si for eternity.
Again, I counsel you, avoid tho pioanirft
looker, tho man whose entire business It Is
to seek for recreation and amusement. I
believe In tho amusements of the world so
far as they are Innocent, I could not live
wltbcut them. Any man of sanguine tem
perament must Have recreation or din.
And yet the amusements and recrentions
of II fu must administer to bard work. They
are only preparative for the occupation to
which Uod has called us.
Ood would not have given ns tho capac
ity to laugh If He did not sometimes Intend
us to Indulge it. Ood hath hung tn sky
and set in wave and printed on grass many
a inundnbiy. Hut nil the music nnd thn
brightness of tho natural world weie
merely Intended to lit us for tho earnest
work of life. The thundercloud hat edges
exquisitely purpled, but it jnrs tho moun
tain as it says, "I enmn down to water the
Molds." The flowers standing under the
fence look gity and beautiful, but they say,
"We stand hero to refresh the husband
man nt tha nooning," Tho brook frollos
nnd sparkles aud foams, but it kiivs, "I go
to baptize the moss; I go to slake the
thirst of tho bird; I turu the wheel of the
mill; In my crystal cradle I rock niuck
slniw and water illy; 1 play, but I work."
Look out for the man who playi and
never works. Look out for that mnn
whose entire buslnesi is to piny ball or
sail a yueht or engage In niiy kind ot mer
riment. These things are all beautiful nnd
grand 111 their places, but when they bo
come the chief work of life they become
man's destruction. George Ilrumrnel was
admired of nil Kugland. lie duticnil with
peeresess nnd wont a round of mirth aud
folly until after a while, exhausted of
purse, ruined ot reputation, blasted of
soul, be begged a crust from a grocer, de
claring as Inn deliberate opinion that lie
though that n dog's life was bettor Ihuu u
man's.
These moro ploasurists Vlll come around
you while you nro ougagod In your work,
and they will try to take you away. They
have lost their plains. Vt hy uot you lose
your place? Then you will be oneot them.
Oh, my friends, before you go with these
pleasure seekers, these men whoso entire
life iu fun and amusement nnd reoreatlon,
remember while nfter a mnn Inn lived n
life of Integrity utid Christian consecra
tion, kind to the poor nod elevating to the
world's condltlou, when he comes to die
lie bus a glorious reminiscence lylug on his
death pillow, the mere pluasurist has noth
ing by way of review but a torn playbill, a
ticket for tho race, mi empty tankard ot
the cast out rluds of a carousal. And as In
delirium of 1:1s awful death he clutches the
goblet and presses It to his Hps, "lie dregs
fulling on bis tongue will begin to uncoil
aud hiss with the adders ot mi eternal poi
son. Again, bownreof Kabbiilh breakers. Tell
me bow n young mun spends bis Fnbbnth,
and I will tell you what nro bis prospects
In business, und I will tell you what are
bis prospects for thu eternal world. Co I
has thrust into our busy life n snored day
when wo are to look nfter our soul.4. Is It
exorbitant lifter giving six days to the
feeding and tho clothing ol these perish,
able bodies that God should demand oun
day for tho feeding nnd tho clothing ot tho
Immortal soul? Our bodies are seven day
clocks, and tbey Lend to bo wounil
up, and If they nra not wound up
they run down Into tho grave. No
mini can continuously break tho Hub
bath und keep bis physical and mental
health. Ask those aged men, ami they
will tell you they never know men who con
tinuously broke the Hnbbntli who did not
fall either iu mind, body or moral prin
ciple. A manufacturer gave tills as his ox
perleuce. Ho said: "I owned n factory
ou tlio Lehigh. Everything prospered.
I kept the Sabbath, ami everything went
ouwell. But one Nubbnth morning I be
thought myself ot a new shuttle, and I
thought I would Invent that shuttle beforf
nunset, and 1 refused all food aud drluk
until I had completed that shuttle. )y sun
down I had completed it. The next day.
Monday, I showed to my workmen and
friends this now shuttle. Tbey all con
gratulated me on my great euoons-i. I put
that shuttle Into play. I enlarged my
business; but, sir, that Sunday's work cost
mo 4.1)0,001). From that day everything
went wrong. I failed In business, aud 1
lost my mill. Oh, my friends, keep the
Lord's day. You mny think It old fogy ad
vice, but I givo it to you now: "lloniomlMit
tho Nnbbath day, keep it holy. Hli
days shult thou labor mid, do all thy
work, but the seventh Is the Hnbbatli nt thu
Lord thy God; lu It tbou shult not do any
work." A man said that he would prove
that nil this was a fallacy, and so bes ild,
"I shall raise a fiuuday orop," And bo
plowed the field ou tho riiibbatb, mid then
lie put in the seed on the Hubbuf li and cul
tivated thn grouud ou the Kibbai.li. W'hou
tho harvest was rlpo, ho reaped r ou the
Kabbnth, and ha carried it into thu now on
thu Kabbntli, and then ho stood out delimit
to bin Christina neighbors nud said,
"There, that Is my Sunday crop, and It Is
nil garnered.". Aftur nwbilo a storm curne
up and a grent darkness, and tho ilght
plugs of heaven struck tho bam, and away
went bis Suuduy orop. Beware, young man,
of nil Kabbutli breakers.
Again, I charge you, beware ot associa
tion with the dissipated. Go with then:
and yon will lu time adopt their habits.
Who Is that mau fallen against thn curb
stone, covered with bruises nnd beastli
ness? Ho was as bright a led as ever

"The largest plant In the world,"
said an emlnont naturalist to tho writ
er the other day, "Is probably a gigan
tic seaweed, known as the 'neroocytis,'
which frequently grows to a height ot
moro than 300 feet. The Btera ot the
plant Is as strong as an ordinary rope
and largo quantities of It are dried and
used its rope by the Inhabitants of tho
South Sea Islmids, where the curious
vegetable ropes are found. Tbo sea
weed usually grows to a depth of from
".00 to eOO feet. As soon us the plant
takes root a spear shaped balloon is
formed, which grows with the stem
toward thn surface of the center. This
balloon frequently has a illnmetor ot
six feet or more. It has, of course,
an upward tendency, aud therefore
keeps the stem growing until it Uouts
on the top of the water. This enor
mous weed grows In such quantities
that large meadowlike laluutla are
formed, which are often so big us to
Impede navigation. The ropes made
from tho stom of the plant are used
tor building purposes, and the balloons
when dried mako very serviceable vol

NTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS
FOR MARCH I I.
tnbjecti The farsdytlo flealed, Mark 11.,
1-13-duIdnn Text: Mark II., In Mem
ory Verses, O-ll Commentary on thn
llrtr's Lesson.
1. "And again." At tho close of tho mis
dminry tour in Galileo. "Capernaum."
Which w.is His homo, or headquarters, "tt
was noised." Thn news spread very rapidly.
"In the house." l'robnhly I'eter's house.
Whan Christ Is In the house, 1, Good mou
will be attracted to It. 'J. Hud men will be
beuelltnd iu It. 8. Divine benediction wilt
rest upon It. 1. llenullceut ministries will
flow from It. Those who have Christ In
their home do not net like other people;
their motives am purer, their chnrltloa
more disinterested, and they have with
them the source ot Joy and blessedness.
a. "Many wero gathered together." The
audience Included Pharisees und doctors
of the law who bad come from the towns ot
Galilee, and Judoa, and Jerusalem. ' They
hud como to Inspect nnd criticise this new
Toucher. It was like the gathering of
Israel on C.irmol to witness thn Issue be
twoeu Klljali and thn priests of Uanl,
"About tho door." Thorn was a great eon
ooursn ot people so that the house nnd
court wero both tilled. "I'rnauhnd the
word". The doetrlno of tlio Sou of God.
They bud oome partly to criticise
and partly out ot curiosity, nnd now Jesus
seizes tho opportunity to preach the Gospel.
3. "Tney como unto Him." Access to
Jesus seemed Impossible. There were
many obstacles In thn way. Should they
have waited for a convenient season? No.
They must force their way to Christ.
"Itrlugiiig one." Therd are many so weak
mid dlsuuuraged that they cannot go to
Jesus without assistance; wnshould always
bo ready to held such, "tick of the pulsy."
"Falsy a contraction of the word paral
ysis Is a disease that deprives the part
affected of sensation, or the powor of mo
tion, or both," This patient was uttorly
holploss. Tho disease is considered Incur
able. " Pulsy is a typo of sin. Hlu iu tho
soul takes nil tho forms which paralysis
does In the body. 1. It takes away tho
sense ot feeling. 2. It weakens thu will so
that when mnn would do good evil Is pres
ent with them. They put off duty; they
know but will not como to it decision, 3, It
produces n llxed condition ot evil with In
tense suffering." "Home of four." Kach
oae holding u corner of the "pallet," or
bej. There was co-operation Is this work.
One could not have done it; It needed four.
)a tlie anion of hearts and hands there la
strength. United they had no difficulty.
4. "fno press." It seemed quite Impos
sible for too crowd to make nn opening
auntciontly large for them to pass through.
l.'iicoverod IIP: roof." Luke says "through
the tiling." In the enstorn oountrles tho
houses wero flat-roofed and Joined together
so one could walk upon them from one end
of the city to the other. These house-tops
were plucea r.f prayer and meditation, and
from the house-tops criers proclaimed tho
times of public worship. Outside stairs
always led to the roof. "Ilrokeu it up."
They took up the tiling. Tbey determined
that nothing ihould stand In their way.
"Let dowu tho bed." Imagine the arresting
of thn discourse of Josus, nnd the breath
less surpriso ot the crowd as this opening
through tho tiles appeared, nnd slowly a
pallet was let dowu before tuem. Willing
Hands would help to stonily It und bring It
Bale tn tho grouud. On that bed lay oun
paralyzed his fevered face aud glisteulng
eyes upturned to Jesus.
0. "rlaw their fulth." Many of the gifts
ot healing nud restoration were obtained
through the faith and prayers of tho
frleuds of tho sufforers. Soe Matt. 8:13;
.11 u ik fi:3li; John 4: lit). Jesus saw their
fulth. Iteal faith nets. Their holy bojd
lies pleased Him. "Faith Is the ohnu
uel through which thn graco of God flows
Into the soul In converting, healing
power." Christ always notloes nnd com
mends faith. To the poor Geutlle woman
who cum n to Him tor the healing of her
duughtor Hnsuld, ") woman, grout Ij thy
faith." 'Sun." Ho spoko with tender
ness. Matthew adds, "He of good oheer."
Evidently the youug mau was despoudeut
because of his nlns, for it seems probable
that this disease had been brought on ns a
result of disslputlou. "Thy sins are for
given" (It. V.). Our first groat need Is the
forgiveness of sin. Jesus rightly puts
this ahead ot tho healing of tho body. Wo
cannot doubt that this paralytic was a
oonsuiouco-strlnkon young mnn. The con
ditions necessary to forgiveness nro re
pentance, confession, forsaking slu, nud
faith. Although this mna did uot speak
Jesus must have soon these marks In hlin.
6. "Certain of tho scribes." "The sorlbes
.were tho loaders of tho nation, tho theo
logians, legislators, politicians." Thuy had
come up from Jerusalem aud other places
for tho purpose of opposing Him. Luke
5:17. "iteusoulng lu their hearts." They
bail not yet spokou openly.
7. "Ulasphemles." Taking to Himself
What belongs to God only. Hols intruding
ou tlio Dlvino rigUts. The blasphemer was
to bo put to death by stoning. "Hut God
only,'' They rightly understood that nil
sins nro sins against God, and thorofors
only God could forgive them. Hoe I'JU. 51:4.
H. "When Jesus perceived." In tolling
them tho thoughts of their hearts Josus
gave them the fullest proof of Illsdlvlulty.
llu"searuhothall hoartsaud uudurstunduth
all tho Imaginations ot the thoughts."
No sin escapes Ills notice. "Why rousou
yo." Matthew says, "Wherefore think yo
evil?" Why are you puttiug a misconstruc
tion on my words?
l. "Whether is It easier." Both nro
equally easy and equally dlllicult. Every
thing Is equally easily to that powor which
Is unlimited. A universe can be aB easily
produced by a single act of tho Dlvino will,
us the smallest part of mutter.
10. "That ye may know." "Eternal mir
acles are the proof ot Internal oues." Christ
was conscious of Divine powor. "If fail
ure had been tho result His humiliation
would have beou overwhelming aud llnnl."
He proposes now to prove Ills divinity be
yond question. "Powor ou earth." They
were thinking ot God as being In hnuveu,
and Josus culls attention to the fact that
there Is power ou earth now to forgive
sins, Tho Hon of Mau has oomo to earth
and has brought this powor with Him.
11. "Arise." Here is the test. Christ
shows Ills ability to furgivo slus by His
ability to heal.
12. "He arose." The man bnd a part to
perform. Had be not anted at the word ot
command he could not have been healed.
He exerolsed the power of his will and put
forth the neoossary effort to arise, believ
ing that strength and healing would be
given him. "Aefore them nil." This thing
wus "not done lu a oornor." Christ's mir
acles were performed In the most publlo
maunor and were never questioned by
those who witnessed them. "Amar.ed."
Luke ndds. "They wero llllod with feur."
"GlorlUed Uod." They had a high degree
of revoreuoe for God and were tilled with
adqilrutlon for His power and goodness.
"On this tashiou." Christ's works are
without precedeut. He acts Independently
and nd"lses with no one. They had seen
three marks of His divinity. 1. Forgiving
sins. a. l'eroolvlug thoughts. 3. Healing
diseases,
sroosees or Mongooses.
There is a youug man uptown with
a fou In ess for puts that are a bit out
of tto ordinary. A friend traveling
In tho West Indies forwarded blm a
mongoose, and with this addition to
tils menagerie .he was happy. Two
weeks ago another arrived, aud now
thn owner of the menagerie Is miser
able. He does uot know whether to
call the two "mongooie:i," or to refer
to them as "mongoose," Just now be
docB this sort ot tblug when he meets
an acquaintance who Is familiar with
his fad: "You know thut mongoose
that Tom scut me last summui ? Well,
he has sent me another, and they ure
lively pair, I assure you." "Whut are
you going to do with them, raUo
mon , eh, whatever you cull 'em, for
the market?" "Can't do that, you
know, for both of my mou, what
ever you call 'cm, aro males." "Hotter
kill one ot them at once, then; a ful
low'U kuow what to rail one of them,
but when It cornea to roterrlng to more
than that sluglo one, you'll have every
body crazy trylug to guess which Is
the right thing as between mougoese
nil mongooses." Now YorK Times.

A Ttiinichil Habit.
Long before tho average child under
stands how moisture promoted ndhe
flon between two solid bodies he has
contracted the habit of wetting hl
thumb every few seconds while turning
the pages of it book. The practice Is a
most objectionable one, and mothers
and tearheg should discourage It for
sanitary reasons as well us on the
grounds of simple refinement. Fancy
tt child suffering from diphtheria or
Kome serious disease of thn mouth and
gums transferring tho germ-lauen sali
va to the porous paper to be in turn
carried to the mouth of the uexL one to
perform thn same operation.! Unhap
pily, It Is practiced by older people,
and by many that ought to know bet
ter. The) baker, for Instance, Intro
duces his thumb or forefinger between
his lips when he takes a sheet of paper
from a pile of eheets to wrap the rolls
or ciiko that you buy nt his shop. Per
haps the dainties do not touch the
Identical spot of contamination, but
again perhaps they do, conveying
carles or some other taint of impurity
to the cater. The librarian handling
library cards sometimes forgets him
self In the samo way; so do people ar
ranging slips of paper and counting
bank notes. Because done Innocently
and unconsciously, the practice is none
the less prejudicial to health and of
fensive to good taste.

A simple and safe way to clean costly and easily
Injured articles is to make a suds of hot water and
Ivory Soap, and allow it to cool until lukewarm. This
solution, while very effective, is perfectly harmless.
Ivory Soap contains no alkali. It will not destroy the
surface or texture of any material, however delicate.
Ivory Soap differs from other soaps. It is more
carefully made, and the materials used in its manu
facture are the purest and best.

criocs the present appearance of the
pope: "There Is no doubt that since I
last saw Leo XIII. be has greatly al
tered. He is much thinner and much
whiter than he was a few months back.
His fare looks so very small thut our
almost fears that should he wear his
miter It would entirely nxtlngiiluh his
tiny fare and head. On thn other
hand his eyes are bright and hln voice
Is fairly strong. He could not stand
unassisted, or even walk across the
100m without the aid of a stick, and Is
afflicted by a constant. Irritating
cough. His Intellect in us strong as
ever, aud his memory is very idear and
precise. He is, moreover, quite able to
stttend to business and to write, his
letters aud sign documents. His last
signature shows uo alteration In the
