He vanished The interview ended. He was pone, With many nf us it is n bright sunshiny day of prosperity. There is not a cloud in the sky. not n leaf rustling in the forest, no ehill in the air. Hut we rannot expect all this to last, lie is not an intelligent man who expects perpetual daylight of joy. The sun will after ewhile near tho horizon: the shadows will lengthen. While 1 speak manv of u stand in the very hour described in the text. "Kor it is toward evening." 'The request of the text is nppronrinte for some in every commu nity, for with them it is toward the even ing nf old nge. They hnve passed the me ridian of life. They are sometimes star tled to l.iiiik how old they are. They do not. however, like others to remark upon it. If others suggest their approximation toward venerable npnear.-nco, they sav, "W'hv. I am not so old, after all."' Thev do. indeed, notice tli.it they rannot lift quite as much as once; they" cannot walk finite so fast; thev cannot read quite so well without spectacles; they cannot so cesily recover from a couch or anv occa sional ailment: thev have lost their taste for merriment; they are surprised nt the quick passage of the year: thev sav that it only se-ins but n little while ngo that they were boys; they nre going a little dovui hill: there is somelhing in their health, something in their vision something in the ir walk, soinethin in their changing associations, something above, something beneath, something within to remind them that it is toward evening. The great want nf all such is to have Jesus nbide with them. It is n dismal thing to v getting old without the reju venating influence of religion. When we stop on the down grade of life and see 1 u:t it dips to the verge nf the cold river, we want to bchoM some one near who will help us across it. When the sight loses its power to glance and gather up, we need the faith Unit can illumine. When we feed the failure of the car. we need the clear tones of that voice which in olden times Woke up the silence of the ilcaf with cadences of men y. When the nx men of dealh hew down whole forests of fitrcnclli and beauty around us and we nre kit in solitude, we need the dove of divine iiktcv to sing in our branches. When the shadows begin to fall nnd we feel that the day is far s-ient. we need most of nil to supplicate the beneficent Jesus in the prayer of the villagers, "Abide with us. for it is toward evening." The reipiest of the text is an appropriate exclamation for all those who nre ap proaching tlm gloomy hour nf temptation. There is nothing easier than to be good natured when everything pleases, or to be humble when there is nothing to pull us tin, or forgiving when we have not been nssailed, or honest when we have no in ducement to fraud. Itut you have felt the grapple of some temptation. Your nature at some time quaked nnd groaned under the infernal power. You feel that the devil was after you; you saw your Christian graces retreating; you fea ed that you would fail in the awful wrestle with sin and be thrown into the dust. The gloom thickened. The first indications of the night were seen. In nil the trembling of your soul, in nil the infernal suggestions of Satan, in nil the surging un nf tumultuous passions nnd excitements, you felt with awful ciniihiisis that it was toward even ing. In tim tempted hour you need to ask Jesus to abide with you. You can beat back the moii.tcr thai would devour you; you can unhorse the sin that would ride you down; you can shaiiien the battleax with which you snlit the head of helnieted abomination. W'lio helped I'aul shake tho brazen gated heart of Felix? Who acted like n good sailor when all the crew howled in the Mediterranean shipwreck? Who helped the martyrs to be linn when one word of recantation would have iinfustened the withes of the stake and put out the kindling lire? When the night of the soul came on and all thu denizens of darkness came rid ing upon the winds of perdition, who gave strength to the soul? Who gave calmness to the heart? Who broke the spell of infernal enchantment? He who heard the request of the villagers, "Abide with us, for it is toward evening." Olio of the forts of France was attacked, nnd tho outworks were taken before night. The besieging army lay down, thinking that there was but little to do in the morning, nnd that the soldiery in the fort could be easily made to surrender. Hut during the uiglit, through a back stairs, they escaped into the country. In the morning the besieging army sprang upon the battlements, but found that their luey was gone. So when we are assaulted by temptation there is always some secret stair by which we might get olf. tiod will not allow us to lie tempted above what we arc able, but with every tempta tion will bring a way of eseape thut we Iiuiv be able to bear it. Uvhe prayer of the text is appropriate for all who are anticipating sorrow, The greatest folly that ever grew on this planet is the tendency to borrow trouble, but there are times when approaching sorrow is so evident that we need to bu making especial preparations for its com ing. One of your children lias lately be come a favorite. The cry of that child strikes deeper into the heart than the cry of all tho others. You think more about it; you give it more attention, not because it is any more of a treasure than the oth ers, but because it is becoming frail. There is something in the check, in the eye and in the walk that makes you quite, sure that the leaves of the ilower are going to be scattered. The utmost nursing and medical attendance are ineffectual. Thu puis" heei. iocs le. iiie.

You have lout rejoiced in lhr ran) of a mother; you lave done everylhing to make her'ki'-t (lavs lumpy; you have run with quick feet to wait upon her every want Her presence has been n perpetual blessing ill the In. uphold. Ilut the fruit gatherers are looking wistfully nt that tree. Her soul is ripe for heaven. Iho gates are ready to flash open for her en. trance, Hut your soul sinks at the thought of separation.

The words nf l!ir tevl are pertinent to u. nil from the fact that we nre Hearing the evening nf .Until. 1 have heard it said that we oncht to live ns though each moment were to be our last. I do not be lieve that theory. As far us preparation is concerned wo nui-lit always to be ready, but we rannot always be thinking of death, for we have duties in life that de mand our attention. When n man is selling foods it is his limpness to think nf the bargain he is miking; when n man is pleading in the eo'irls. it is his duty to think of the i" terests of his clients; when a clerk is add ing up Recounts it is his duty to keep his mind upon the column of figures. He who (ills up his life with thoughts of dealh is fur from lieing the highest style of Chris tian. 1 knew 11 man who iwed often to say nt night. "I wish I might die before morning!" lie is now nn intnlel. Hut there nre times when we can nnd ought to give ourselves to the contempla tioi nf Hint solemn moment, when to the soul tiniP endsnndeternitylM'gins. Wemust go through that one pnss. There is no roundabout way, no bypath, no circuitous route. Die we must, nnd it will be to 11s n shameful occurrence or n time nf ndiuir able behavior, fur friends may stretch out their hands to keep us back, but no itnploration on their part can hinder us. Thrv might offer large retainers, lint death wnuld not take the fee. The brenth will fail, and the eyes will close, and the heart w 11 stop. You may hang the conch with gorgeous tapestry, but what docf death care for bed curtains? You mny hang the room with the finest, works nf irt. but whnt docs death care for pictures? You may till the house with the waitings of widowhood nnd orphanage. l)ies death mind weepinc? Listen to Haul's battle shout with mis fortune, hark to mounting Lntimer's tire song; look nt the glory that hath reft the dungeon nnd filled the earth nnd henvens with the crash of the falling manacles nl despotism nnd then look nt. those whe have tried to cure themselves by human prescriptions, attempting to heal Ban grene with patch nf court plaster nnd to Btop the plague of dying empires with the quackery of earthly whilom. Nothing ran speak pence to the soul, nothing can un strap our crushing burdens, nothing can overcome our spiritual foes, nothing can open our eyes to see the surrounding horses and chariots nf salvation that til) nil the mountains but the voice nnd com mnnd of Him who stopped one night at Fniniaus. You ought to bo willing to exchange your body that has headaches nnd side aches nnd weaknesses innumerable, that limps with the stone bruise or festers with the thorn or flames on the funeral pyre nf fevers, for nn incorruptible body nnd nn ee tiint blinks not before the jasper gatei nnd the great white throne. Ilut between that and this there is an hour about which no 111. 'ii should be reckless or foolhardy. I doubt not your courage, but I tell you that yo'i will want simethiiig belter tliar a strong arm. n good aim nnd a trust sword when you come to your last battle. You will need a better robe than any you have in your wardrobe to keep you warn) in that place. Circumstances do not make so much dif ference. It may be bright day when you push oil from the planet, or it may be dark night and while the owl is hooting from the forest. It may be spring, anil your soul may go out among the blossoms, apple orchards swinging their censers in the way. It mny be winter and tho eurth in a snow shroud. It may lie autumn and the forests set on tire by the retreating year dead nature laid out in state.

SABBATH SCHOOL, INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS FOR OCTOBER 14. Rnl..rct! rarnl.tn of the lrest "upper. I. like, sly., 1ft. 3 I flnl.lrii Text! l.nkf xlv.t 17 Metnorr Verses, 31.94 roiiiineintary on the Dsj's Lesson. This parable was spoken while they were still reclining at the table. See last lesson. 13. "One nf then." One of the rich friends of the I'liarisnic host, whose re mark gave the Saviour oeiasion for deliv ering the parable of the grcnt supper. "Hcnrd these thinps." The recompense nt the resurrection of the jut (v. 141 sug gested to this guest n great banquet in the kingdom of the Messinh. "lilesscd is he." He extols the greatness of the privilege. In the parable that follows Christ warns him nnd the others that the privilege will by no means be so generally recognized or embraced bv the Jewish pconle as wns commonly thought. "In (lie kingdom of Cod." The kim-nom of Cod, here, does not signify the kingdom of heaven in the highest sense, hut nnlv the kingdom of the Messiah, of which the carnal Jew here speaks, according to the received sense of his nation, ns of n glorious tem poral kingdom, in which the Jews shoild lord it over the Cenlile world, enjoy their wealth, ami be provided with all temporal blessings nnd delights, in which thev place their liiinpiness. 111. "Then said He." lie delivered the following parable to show that the Mes siah's kingdom would be iifTcred to them under the most favorable circumstances, yet thev would reject it. preferring carnal to spiritual blessings, while, in the menu time, the Centiles would embrace the gos pel with cheerfulness nnd thereby be pre pared to sit down in the abodes of the blessed. "A great supper." Kepresent iug the rich nnd abundant provisions nf the gospel. The use of this emblem to denote spiritual blessings is rooted in Old Testa ment prophecy. The blessings nf salvation are compared to a feast. I. Kecause nf their rich variety nnd abundance. 'J. Their suitableness to our spiritual wauls. 3. The high satisfaction and enjoyment which tiny yield. "Hade many.'' The Jewish nation. This general announce ment was made in the Old Testament in stitutions and prophecies. 17. "And sent Ins servant." The coin mission to nil who hold ollice nf summon ing the world to enter the kingdom nf Cod m the same, hence but one servant is referred to. John the Baptist, Christ, the npostles and disciples all delivered the gos pel message and issued a call to the Jew ish people. The same call was afterward given to the Centiles, and such is the invi tation now extended to lis. "Tlmt were bidden." The Jews to whom the gospel was first offered, especially the scribes and Fharisces. "Come." 'I he invitations of the gospel are full and complete. Matt. 11:'JS; Uev. MS: 17. "All things are now ready." Now is the accepted tunc. Kvery lirovisiou is made for the redemption of a lost world; not one thing is lacking. The plan of salvation is pcii'cct. Come, now, and be saved. IS. "They all." Hut few nf the scribes and Pharisees responded to Christ's invi tation. "Ilcgiin to make excuse." lu worldly n (fairs people would be anxious to accept nn invitation to such a "sup per," but in religious matters it is very ililfercnt. Men are unwilling to accept the fillers of salvation. "The first said." When the time came they nil refused to enter in, each having sonic excuse. The ultimate ground of their refusal vas that they felt no real desire, nnd saw nothing nttraetive in such a feast, and boil 110 rev erence for the host. "Have bought." The purchase may not hnve been uncondi Hoiially made (Lunge), but probably nt that very moment it depended upon the viewing of the land whether it should be inuile ilclinile. "Must needs." These ex cuses were nil trivial, and yet they ap peared to those milking them to be real reasons why they could not possibly at tend the feast. 111. "1 go to prove them." Mark the in creasing rudeness of the speakers. The first pleads a "must needs;" the second merely states his intention "I go;" the third says bluntly, "1 cannot," and omits the courtesy of asking to lie excused. The true lesson from all three is that innocent nnd right things keep men away from the gospel feast. 31. "Married a wife." lie should have said to his wife, "Come, let us both accept the invitation to this gospel feast, at once." "Therefore 1 cannot come." This was just the reason why he should lmvo gone. We should invite the Saviour to enter our homes and dwell with us there. 1. When young people cuter upon the ac tive duties of life they need the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit. If they lean to their own understanding nud trust to their iuvii efforts for success they will ul timately fail. '1. No home is a truly hap py home without Christ. It is only when liis love fills the soul nnd when He con trols our nllaiis that real joy and peace exist. 3. We need Christ to bear our burdens with us nml help us through thu hard places. He will be n shelter in tho lime of storm, nnd a solid rock in the hour of alilictiun. 4. A Christian homu is 11 power for good in the community, while u Christless home is ns great a pow er ior evil. 5. The influences of the home mold, to a great extent, the characters and lives of the entire family. ill. "Co out quickly." There is no time to be lost. The feast is ready. "The streets and lanes." Kxtend the invitation to the publicans and sinners the outca-jtH, who were despised by those to whom Jesus was speaking. 2'J. "It is dune. find's true ministers carry the gospel to the worst classes. They frequently enter the slums in order to point those who are deep down in sill to the Christ who is utile to save them. "Yet there is room." The lord of the house bus prepaid! a very great feast for very many. 1'rovisions are made for all. "W hosoever will let him come." '.'3. "The highways and hedges." Out side of the city. Jly this is meant that the gospel would lie preached to the Centiles. When rejected by the Jews l'aul turned to the Centiles. "Compel them to come in." Not by force, but by an earliest en treaty. "That My house may be tilled. " How anxious the Lord is to save every person. No one needs to be lost. 24. 'I say unto you." Christ is hero half continuing the parable and half ex pounding it. "None of those men." A solemn anoiincement of the coming rejec tion of the Jews us 11 nation for their un belief. Hut the words apply in all their force to the multitudes now in Christian lands who despise and neglect the gospel, while converts among the heathen nation are multiplied. "Shall taste of My sup per." Shall enjoy the blessings of the gos pel. They were rejected because they had rejected the supper. When we reject Christ we are really closing the door against ourselves.

A substituted forefinger wns shown by n Kocnlgsberg doctor at it recent surgical congress In Htrlln. The ex hibitor had cut oil' the patient's second toe nnd sewed ft to the stump of the) missing finger. I'llimiry union bait followed, nnu the new linger could bo moved by Its owner. Dr. Charles Wilson Cl'celie III bis studies of the California toadlish lias found that the Ilsli shows no lumin osity save when excited by electricity or atiiinonla. Hurts of the llsh even nfter death were luminous under ani monla or severe electric stimulations, but a tnlbl current produced no eKeet. In an ascension niiide reeentl, by Messrs. Ynllot nud Jean nnd souls Leciirme It was found, according to a note In Cosmos, that it Is possil le to coliiniiinleate by wireless telegi ipby between the earth and n freely ilslng balloon at great distances without any conductor from the balloon to the ground. In n special report on Vganda. re cently Issued, Sir II. II. Johnston says that the Htiutu-speakiiig peoples care little for beads and not overmuch for wire, but they are greedy for chilli and for almost every manufactured article, from a phonograph or 11 grnr aplione to a brougham. Overton by bis researches lias shown that the red cell sap of plants, to which the bright autumn tints nre due. Is coudlt ioned upon the presence of sugar, the depth of the red Hut de pending upon tin iicentration of the sugar. Low temperatures Induce the development of such color?. Two bladder-wort plants grow n In separate dishes of water having different pro portions of sugar, clearly proved this relation of sugar to color production. It has been deiuolislrnted by actual experiments, observes Science nnd In dustry, that many of our wild forest plants produce seeds that, when burled In the earth, can retain their vitality for ten. twenty or thirty years. If the surface soil Is removed they will Immediately spring up. A large num ber of plants and trees that at one time depended largely. If not entirely, 011 seeds for their perpetuation, are now propagated by suckers, probably because the seeds were threatened with extermination. The plnapple, 1 1:1 -mum and eggplant are Illustrations of this. Uiidlnientary seeds are found In Hie fruit of all three, but propagation Is almost entirely by suckers. Moving rictlirra of Yourself.

Huston Transcript. Her I.neky Cliulien. Chicago has some dirty st reels and much of the paving Is In bad condi tion, but Dean Slubbs may well be given to understand here and now that chivalry Is hi 111 abiding with us. A Northwestern elevated express train stopped at Chicago avenue yesterday morning, and a woman who must have weighed about HIT pounds w ithout her fall Jacket on got aboard. She was not a tall woman. (.'117.0 with your mind's eye at the hronil side of 11 load of hay with a pumpkin on top of It, and you will have before you such a picture of the lady as 1111 impression ist of the advanced school would make. It happened that every seat lu the car which she entered was occupied, ami for a moment she stood alone in the aisle, the only passenger who was not receiving all that the nickel In vested at the gate called for. Two young men who seemed to be slrangers sal near the spot where the fat lady stood. They looked nt her and then at each other, and without saying anything got up. The woman glanced at the place they had vacated as If measuring II witli her eye, and I hen sat down, saying: "Thank you, gentlemen; I am so glad you were silling together." Chicago Tillies-Herald. Wolves In France. The French Mlulsiry of Agriculture has just published a report giving the result of the measures taken during the last year to destroy wolves. It is reported that 'Jo" were killed, of which four were she-wolves with young, seventy-two full-grown wolves, and Hil cubs. They were killed III nineteen different departments, and a sum of Hi.oiio francs was paid lu the form of bounties, Ks) francs being given for a she-wolf with young, 100 francs for 11 full-grown wolf, and for ty francs for a cub. The greater num ber of wolves killed were In the cen tral department of France, not one be ing found in the Alps or Pyrenees. The total of L'o7 was rather In excess of Hie previous years, but It marks 11 great decreaso as compared with about seventeen years ago, when 13111 were destroyed. The number of these liulmals killed since 1SS2 is SSdtl. Once only within the Inst twelve years litis a wolf been killed that bad attacked, human beings.

The nervous hands of a weak woman have toiled day and night, the weary form nnd aching head have knovu no rest, for tho dress must be finished in time. To that queen of society and her drersmalrer wo would isay a word. One through hothouse culture, luxury and social excitement, and the other through the toil of neces-ity, may some day find their ailments a common cause. Nervous prostration, excitability, fainting spells, dizzi ness, sleeplessness, loss of appetite and strength, all indicato serious trouble, which has been promoted by an over-taxed system. For tho society queen and tho dressmaker alike, there ia nothing so reliable as Lytiiu 12. l'inkham's Vegetable Compound to restore strength, vigor, and happiness.
