It is often that friends have no power

to do it, but they cannot disentangle our

that He to whom the disciples' went hag all
power in heaven aud on earth, nnd at om
call He will balk our calamities and at
just the right time, in the presence of nn
applauding earth and a resounding heaven,
will raisr- our dead. He is mightier than
Herod. He is swifter than the storm. He
is grander than the sea. He is vaster than
eternity. And every sword of (iod's om
nipotence will leap from its scabbard and
the resources of infinity be exhausted rath
er than that (ioel s child shall not be de

Suppose your child was in trouble. How
much would you endure to get him out ?
You would say, "I don't care what it will
cost. I must get him out of that trouble."
Do you think God is nyt so good n father
as you? Seeing you are in trouble and
having all power, will He not stretch out
His arm and deliver you? He will. He is
mighty to save. He can level the mount
ain and divide the sea, nnd cun extinguish
the tire und save the soul. Not dim of
eye. not wenk of arm. not feeble of re
sources, but with all eternity and the uni
verse nt His feet. Oo nnd tell Jisus. Will
you?
Ye whose cheeks nre wet with the night
dew of the grave, ye who cannot look up,
ye whose hearts ure dried with the breath
of sirocco, in the liiiinu of the religion of
Jesus ChriBt, which lifts every burden and
wipes away every tear and delivers every
captive nnd lightens every darkness, I im
plore you now go mid Ull Jesus.
A little child went with her father, a
sea cuptuin, to sea, and when the first
storm came the litlie eh. Id was very much
frightened, nnd in the night rushed out of
the cabin and said. "Where is father,
where is futher?' Then they told her,
"Father is on deck guiding the vessel und
watching the storm. The little child im
mediately returned to her berth nnd suid,
"It's ull right, for father's on deck."
O ye who are tossed nnd driven in this
world, up by the mountains und down by
the valleys und nt your wits' ends, I wunt
vou to know the Lord God is guiding the
ship. Y'our Father is on deck. He will
bring you through the darkness into the
harbor. Trust in the Lord. Oo und tell

If you go to Him for pardon and sym
pathy, ull is well. ICverythiug will bright

sorrow will depart, your sins will be for
given, and your foot will touch the up
ward path, aud the shining messengers

liut 1 um oppressed us I think of those
who muy not take this counsel and may
remain unblessed. 1 cannot help asking
what will be the destiny of these people.
Xerxes looked off on his army. There were
S.UOO.IKIO, perhnps the finest army ever mar
shaled. Xerxes rode along the lines re
viewed them, cume back, and stood on
some high point, looked off upon the 000,
(HK) men nnd burst into tears. At that mo
ment, when every one supposed he would
be in the greatest exultation, he hro',.o
down in grief. They asked him why he
wept. "Ah," he said, "1 weep at the
thought tliut so soon all this host will he
dead." So I think of these vast popula
tions of immortal men and women and re
alize the fact that soon the places which
know them now will know them no more,
nnd they will be gone whither, whither?
There is stirring idea which the poet
put in very peculiar verse when he said:
'Tia not for man to trifle; life is brief,
And sin is here;
Our age is but the fulling of a !cf,
A dropping teur. '
Not many lives, but only one have we
One, only one;
How sacred snould that one life ever be
That uuriiw spun!

One of Artemus Ward's Stories.
Artemua Ward used to tell ot a lec
ture experience which he had In a Ut
ile place In the far west. There was
i blizzard on the night when he held
forth and consequently the audience
nas email. "After my lecture," said
fVrtemus, "I ventured to uuggest to
the chairman of the committee that
ihe elements huving been against me
lhat evening I might repeat my talk
ater on in the season. After confer
ring with his fellow eonimiteemen,
ihe chairman came back and said to
ne: 'We haven't eny objection at all
:o your repeating your lecture, but
.he feeling Is that you had better re
eat It In some other town.' "

Upon a mountain with Ills disciples us
bearers and the auxlous multitude claim
Ing n share In the great course ot lostruo
tion.Josus preached that Illustrious sermon
called the "Hermon on tho Mount." It would
seem that enough truth worn eontnlued in
this one sermon to sorve every neod yet w

ically as O'Wislon demanded. In lesson
two Ha touchod upon the greatlhlndninoo

inuoh harsh judgment. The heart of a
mini lllled with bitturuHS". nnd faultfinding
sees only crookedness la others. Ho Is
blinded to his own sins nud Imagine his
own state to b that ot his nolghuor. Jesus
candidly pointed out tho w.iv to a bitter
condition.
SiiMMABV. T.osson I. Topic: "True re
ligion. Place: Mount IlutUu, near the
centra of the west coast of the sea of
Galileo, lie taught tho disciples nud the
multitudes. Who aro blessed? The poor
In spirit; the mourners: the meek; the hun
gry and thirsty; tha merciful; the pure In
hoart; the poauumakors: those persecuted
for righteousness' sake. Tho promises

II. Topic: tioekliig and finding. Tlneo:
Snme ns lesson I. Judge not harsh judg
ment. A. ye Judge ye shall He Judged.
The liyproerlto tries to pull out n mote
from another's eye while a beam Is In his
own eye. If we ask, seek, knock we shall
receive, find, gain admittance. Illustra
tion: The father gives his sou bread nnd
flsh and not a stone and a serpent; so Ood
will give His children good things. Tho
two wifys.
III. Topic: Christ raising the dead.
Dale: CaperDtium. Jalrtis, a ruler of the
synagogue, fell at Jusus' feet; his daughter
was at the point ot death; Jesus went
with htm: news of her death; tho faith of
Jatrus encouraged; great wulllug; Jesus
reproves those who wall, and says the
child Is only sleeping; He Is ridiculed by
the people; took only Peter, James and
John and the father and mother and
entered In where the damsel was. 8he Is
raised, and they are charged to koep It
quiet.
IV. Topic: The onturlon's bnmlllty
ondfntth. Tlace: Capernaum. This miracle
occurred Immediately after the Horraou on
the Mount. A sick slave; the elders sent;
the centurion's good deeds urged; Jesus
went with them; friends are sent. nn1
probably the centurion goes himself, to
meet Jesus; he says, I am not worthy,
trouble not yourself, speak thi word only:
Jesus says, This Is great fnlth, not found
In Israel; the euro wrought nt onoe.
T. Topic: Josus encouraging nnd com
mending John tbe lUptlst. Place: la
southern Galileo, probably at Natn. John
In prison; sends two disciples eighty miles;
two questions asked, Art thou ilio Mes
siah, or do we look for another? many
miracles wrought the same hour; they are
instructed to tell these things to John, and
not to be prejudiced against Jesus. John
is not a reed to be shaken by the wind, bu.f
the greatest among the prophets.
VI. Topic: The doom of the Impeultent
Place: In southern Galilee. Cities ri'nikcd;
they repented not; bad been exalted; op
portunities slighted; destruction certain.
But even yet they may be saved It they
will. The weary Invited; a precious, pos
itive promise given. Ciirlst our teacher,
Instructs In humility by putting Himself ai
our example.
Vlf. Topic: Christ reproving Simon.
Place: In southern Galilee. The sermon
over (see last lesson), Hlmon, a Phurlsee,
lnvitod Jesus to dinner; a woman a sin
ner onme In and washed, wiped, kissed
and nnnolnted His teot. Hlmon hnd failed
to perform tha common acts of hospitali
ty, aud Jesus now calls his attention to
his coldness and lack of love; reproves
him for being displeased with the woman;
a parable; a question; a woman forgiven;
tbe people wondered.
VIII. Topta: Hearing nnd doing. Place:
la u boat, on tho sea, near Capernaum.
Jesus left Peter's house nnd tho tnultltudo
followed Him; spakoinnny things In para
bles; this His first one; four kinds of
ground represent four alasses of people;
many things caused unfruitfulnoss. We
cp.n, by God's help, cause tliesollof our
hearts to be ohnnged from bad to good
ground. We oau overcomo all hindrances
and bring forth good fruit.
IX. Topic: C'irlst's spiritual kingdom.
Place: Same as lesson VIII, Three para
bles which represent the church militant.
There will always 'be hindrances nnd ene
mies, but there Is whent, also, which will
continue to grow until the harvest. Great
separations will then take place. Christ's
kingdom Is dostlnod to fill tire whole
earth. It Is a live, growlug kingdom,
with groater power end authority than all
earthly kingdoms combined, and offering
protection to all who will como under Its
laws,
X. Topic: Jesus Instructing Ills npos
ties. Place: A village In Galilee. Jesus
travels through Galileo on foot teach
ing aud healing; Is moved with compas
sion wheu He sees the Ignorance and spir
itual barrenness of the multitudes; needs
more laborers; sends the apostles out; with
out money or extra garments; expecting
all kinds of persecution; but, however, un
der tbe protecting care of tbe Father.
Jesus continues His missionary work
alone.
XI. Topic: Herod's great erlme. Plaoo:
Macboruti. The death ot John occurred
about the tlnjo the twelve returned. Herod
Antlpas was ruler ot Oalllee and Peres.
When be beard cf the mighty works ot
Christ he said John Is risen. John bad re
buked stu la high places. This Is neces.
sary, tor, allowed to go unrebuked, tbe sin
Is made popular and the moral sense of
the oommunlty Is deadened. Herod's
course brought disaster to himself.
XII. Toplo: "Bread iu tbe desert."
Plaoe: Near Bathialda on the northeast
shore ot the sea of Oalllee. Qod can sup
ply bread where broad Is least likely to be
found. Christianity Is a great broad
'river ot blessing flowing through tha
world."

in noting tbe necessary disposition of

POPULAR SCIENCE.
Birds can be colored, According to
Dr. Sauermanu, an Austrian, by sup
plying them with food dyed with ani
ino. He obtained pigeons of a beau
tiful red and others of a One blue. He
:loos uot any what the efl'eot of the
aniline is on tbe health of tbe birds.
Basic auilioe in doses of ton drops is
poison, but tbe aniline dyes being
in an oxydized form have been pro
nounced harmless. Indeed they are
now widely nsed in coloring candies
tnd tbe likes.
Lead poisoning may be more com
mon than is supposed. So thinks n
French physician, wbo was puzzled
by tbe coho and constipation of a boy
of twelve until the father appeared
with the same trouble, when it was
discovered that the family had been
using1 kindliug wood from a white lead
factory. A case in a young womau
was traced to tbe sheet leader wrap
per of her snuff. Another case showed
typical symptoms, but the course of
the poison could not be detected.
Pr. Orassi, au Austrian physiol
ogist, declares that the human braiu
contains a "name centre" cell, the of
fice of which is to retaiu names. He
mentions a curious confirmation of
his theory. The guard of an Austrian
traiu was shot in a quarrel, and when
he became conscious was entiroly un
able to remember the names of per
sons or things. Tho surgeon probed
for the bullet, and found it at tho
exact spot on the brain's surface
which L)r. Orassi identifies with the
name cell. When the pressure on the
brain had been relieved the patient
remembered names as well as he had
done before, and told the name of his
assailant.
From the study of clouds Professor
F. H. Bigelow, of the United States
Weather Bureau, concludes that the
ordinary cyclones which traverse our
country from west to east are not
more than two or three miles in
depth, although their diameter is
many hundreds of miles. Iu other
words, their motion does not affect
the upper regions of the atmosphere.
In the case of hurricanes Professor
Bigelow finds that the depth is greater,
amounting to as much as five or six,
miles. But the higher currents blow
directly across the cyclonio and anti
cyolonio areas which produce storms
and fair weather at the surface of tho
earth. Some of Professor Bigelow's
conclusions npset former ideas con
cerning tbe circulation of the atmos
phere.
Professor Holsti, of Ilelsiugfors Uni
versity, Finland, has been gathering
statistics of tubercnlosis for eight
years. The belief nsed to be that this
disease exhibited itself most fatally
between the ages of fifteen and thirty
years. The figures show, however,
that the mortality rate is much the
greater in infancy, during tho first two
years of life. It is then 2.5 per oent. ;
from that age it rapidly falls till at
fifteen it hardly exists; and it then
f radually rises again. Males are more
suBceptidle than femaleB. The fact
that the disease is several times more
fatal during the first two years of life,
or the time when children are fed ex
clusively on milk, is taken to suggest
that tbe cow's milk may be the chitf
source of infection. Tbe history of
Japan, wbioh is a cowloss country,
favors this view in a measure.
The llalloon In War.
The position that a balloon must oc
cupy to insure the complete safety ol
its staff has been quite accurately de
termined by experiments. It is evi
dent that there are two factors eleva
tion and distance. In round numbers
it may be said that a balloon in abso
lutely safe at a distance of four miles
aud at a height of 2000 feet. With
every mile thnt the balloon is brought
nearer to the enemy's batteries it is
nocoseary to materially increase the
hoight of the balloon. English artil
lerists fired without effect twelve
rounds of shrapnel at a balloon dis
tant about 3000 yards and at a height
constantly varying from 1200 to 1500
feet. Under wind conditions favor
ble to the gun, it required sixtoon
rounds ot shrapuol to hit a balloon
distant 3500 yards aud at an elevation
of 1700 feet. The Germans practised
with shrapnel at Cummensdorf on two
balloons distant three miles; the fii'st,
at an elevation of 300 feet, fell pierced
in some twenty-five places after ten
shots, but the second balloon, at au
elevation of 500 feet, was disabled
only after twenty discharges. French
experiments at Poitiers prove that
neither artillery nor mitrailleuse fire
can affect a balloon at a moderate ele
vation and distant more than 5500
metres (three and one-third miles).
Even at distances of one or two miles
it requires considerable time and
effort to get the range of a balloon,
which bhould be frequently raised and
lowered and changed from plaoe to
blaoe when within easy range. Gen
eral Greely, in Harper's Magazine for
June.
Fricasseed Nightmare."
God has given us a capacity to en
joy food. That is uot the principal
objoct in eating. One goes to a din
ner, and after eating all that be really
desires and more than is beneficial,
thinks be will add a little of the com
pounds' thoy call desert the inven
tion of the devil aud booomes un
comfortable and wretched. Most of
the desserts we have might be called
"fricasseed nightmare" or "escalloped
indigestion." Eating becomes idola
try it it becomes unfitting for higher
servioe. It is a crime to gorge and
be unoomtortable or to induce a head
aohe. I once attended a dinner at tbe
invitation of a parishioner and was
asked to accompany a lady to the
table. I did not need to eat, but I
offered to help ber to whatever she
desired, and she asked for chicken
salad, remarking, "It always gives
e a wretched headache, but I am
going to have some," aud I replied,
"Then you may help yourself, for I
will not." From Dr. Pierson's ad
dress in Boston.

TO FRAME BRIDE'S PICTURE.
How a New Chicago Matron Remem
bered Her Friends.
A recent Chicago bride who was go
ing out of town to live distributed
photographs of herself nnd farewell
gifts to her relatives and friends and
had them framed In a unique and at
tractive manner. They were to be
mounted under glass in the manner
familiar to all and known as passe
partout, but Instead of the usual mat
of linen -or cardboard she used a ma
terial which was especially appropri
ate, and one which mode frame as well
sbbs picture worthy of being pre
served among the family heirlooms!
The picture which she gave her
mother bad a mat of the white satin
which had been used for her wedding
dress, and across one corner was a
bit of the lace with which the dress
was trimmed. To a sister she gave
a picture also mounted In the while
satin, but with a design ot orange
blossoms embroidered upon It, while
the mount for the one given her maid
of honor was of the white satin em
broidered with a graceful spray of
bride Tozeu. Friends less near re
ceived pictures mounted with the
goods which had gone to make up the
different gowns of her troussseau. Ths
mount made from the material of her
"golng-away gown" bad forget-me-nots
embroidered In small scattered
sprays, while some of the silk and
figured goods were made up plain, be
ing sulficiently decorative in them
EClves. In each case the mounted pic
ture was bound in the glass with a
narrow strip of soft leather In a Bhade
to correspond with the color of the
mount. Upon the back of each was
plainly written the name and date of
the wedding. It Is needless to state
thut the gifts were prized as the pic
tures alone never could have been,
and It Is safe to predict that other
brides will follow the graceful fashion.
