H Icier, Sixteenth Baptist Church, New York, i ���> ���V . ft hi i f -'6 ; Man. shall not live bv bread alone but ! Toy ovory word that proceedeth out ot ut- aioutn. of God-Mati hew, iv., �����. ��� How shall wc live ? Thc tempter ���ays, "By bread." Christ replies in the words of our text. Man lives by God's , gifts only as Cod is behind them, and yet the real support is not in thc gilts but in the giver. Life in its fullest aense is action from wit. 'n, sustained with food from without. This is clearly illustrated by thc power of steam generated within a boiler, but dependent upon water and fuel from without. God has appointed under all ordinary circumstances that we should sustain life by the secondary means of cai thly food, but placing this as the limit of God's directions we make our lives earth, earthy, and hold out little or no hope to/ the poor and needy of this world's (foods. '-, The word -/bread", covers a wide range of earthly supplies and rs^of primary, interest to the people of all nations. \ It places an emphasis upon the saying "Self-preservalion is the , first' Jaw pi nature." ' The world says,- "By these'-things we live."\ ' Moreover, we are not blind to the necessary anxiety'about such things as the body's just claim, but rather accept the fact that; food,'raiment and'shelter ��re part of God's economy of life.* 'Christ says,, "Your hea\enly Lather - knoweth that ye have need of all these ���Jhings." In the Lord's Prayer we1 arc < taught to ask, "Give -us tins day our daily bread," and we"are justified in a material interpretation of this-human 'request as<much as in a spiritual sense. But we are wrong if we place so small a horizon about our lives and give no ettention to thc words of Christ, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." We place ourselves by, the side of thc Phaiisces, of whom rt ���was spoken, "Woe unto.you, Pharisees; for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner, of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God; these ye ought to have done,'and not to leave thc other undone." . "!' First. We should live rn love. Ir v Paul were writing 'to-day he would' aave said, "Though T posses-, abundance of all things, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing." Iron ' In the soil is raised to a more useful 1 sphere, by the growing plant rooted rn the ,carth ; thc plant then taken to- nourish the body places thc iron still higher and finds its largest usefulness in energy produced in the bloocl-ot, tnan. So the ,secd of divine love, placed by God in the human heart, can raise it to a larger and nobler life. We need the food of culture, knowledge, affection, solitude, all of which are bread to nourish, sustain and develop^ our souls, foreman is not wholly alive ���when his body is alive; for the soul lives by every word which proceeds from the mouth of God. < In a western city by thc.river a >srck ���girl had been taken out or the street by a poor woman who kept a dining- room ior sailors, with a kitchen behind it, and who made a l.ttle bed for tne sick child under a stairway. It was thought the girl would be more comfortable in a hospital, and so she was taken there. But she missed the kind heart of the motherly old woman's love and so went back to die in thc kitchen .No doubt there was srrrpiisc in 8iea-.cn -when these two met at God's throne, and the old woman, who had no earthly church, heard the words - uttered ���which encircle Livingstone's tomb in iWcstminstcr Abbey, "Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these little ones, ye did it unto me." . Second. Wc mav also live by every kind of truth which comes from God to make us more alive. It is ignorance, narrowness, bigotry and sclfithncss ���which make us cling to thc letter and reject constant new revelation, l.n* '���mind needs to be nourished with'new thoughts or it will return to infancy , long before thc body comes to its three ' score and ten. Truth revealed rn 6ciencc, truth revealed in daily experience, truth revealed in common tait.i in man���these arc some of the words proceeding out of the mouth of God. | (For men's souls are only noirnsncd and | strengthened in pioportipn to tly-��** j ���minds' and hearts' working.

During the past three'years, however, there has been a great increase in.the sale or the "Tale of Two Cities"���so' much so that it would come fust by many coprcs for those particular years. No doubt this/ is mostly due to the success of Mr. Martin H.aivcy's play, "The Only Way. While this piece���the stoiy dramat.'/eu��� was being performed in London tliero was a brisk demand daily for the book. . Next", to' "Pickwick," tha permanent favorite, indeed bv cir-culatron, is "David. CopperfieldT" and, indeed, there l-s not much to choose between the two. From them there i3 p. rather considerable diop, to "Oliver Twist" and the "Old Curiosity Shop," the sales of which have differed from each o'.hcr only to the extent oi three hundred copies. Thiee other stories which jnay ,bo ranked together are ''Nicholas' jSfickleby,' "Dombey and Son" and "Bleak House.' "Little Donit" and "Our Mutual Friend' come along in company with "Martin Chuzzlewit," and the Christmas books not far .behind. "Martin Chu//.le\vit" is an illustration of the slightness of vicissitude that ' Dickens's books have shown. When it was published he declared that it was a hundred times tho best thing he had done. But t-omchow tho original sales were quite disappoin..- ing, and Dickens was really anxious as to�� whether thc reading public w.13 not forsaking him. Every year it improved its position, and if that were to be estr- mated on its whole sales���and not on those of the p.ist three years only���it would piobablv come next to "Pickwick and "David Coppcrfleld." In his recent article on Dickens, -Mr. Swinburne declared that '-GrciL Expectations" was perhaps the'best of his novels. On sales it comes fourteenth in thc list, but thc rcecnt.cheap edition has given it a very larn-e vo'quo with the public. Generally speaking,- thc public demand for indivrd- ual no-, els bv Dickens is in harmony with the verdicts which literary opinion has pronounced upon them. In othci words, the books of his which thc litei- niy critics have exalted are also most bought by the public. King Rockefeller II.'

The outlook is' decidedly ominous and the prospect of wai between Russia and Japan i.- due chiefly to Russia's utter disregard of the treaty entered into with other poweis in which Kussia pled-, ged herself to withdraw her forces from Manchuria. \V ��� Russian diplomacy; has at times caused great admiration, but we f think that it should be called craft - " iness; from recent examples of t i , **��� that great and world renowned "diplomacy" we find that * treaties and uledges aie violated by Russia at her will, the consequence being that all other powers mistrust her motives and her standing is thereby injured among otlier nations. In case.of war, it will be almost impossible for Great Britain to be neutral and it is more than probable that Great Britain would be - compelled to assist Japan in case of her suffering a naval defeat. It is questionable whether Great v Britain will allow the Russian Black' Sea fie=t to pass the Dardanelles, in. fact the ' home editorials request that Great Britain notify Russia to that effect. The most important element in the far East is the question as _to which side China will take. Russia, with the Chinese at her command could control the Asiatic continent, "but'would that be the limit of ber ambitious desires? feld, Grime, Hamshaw and the President being the most prominent among the speakers.

Atlin is a very comfortable camp now. The town is equipped with electiic lights, telephones and all the main modern comforts. There never were so many horses in the camp'as at present.' Considerable hay is being raised in the country, but much of it is still shipped in:. There are many large, natural meadows in the.vicinity where considerable hay , is . moweb in the primitive way,' no mowing machines having as yet* been' brought into the country. Unfortunately, large areas of the hay. lauds have been bought up by speculators, and are, therefore, of no present-benefit to the country.

A�� to fito history of cofTee, W-.�� legend runs that it was first -found growing wild in Arabia. Hadji Omar, a dervish, discoveied it in i283,"Si'*'7 hundred and seventeen year.? ago. Hie -was dying of hunger in ihe wilderness, when, iinding seme s'nnll lound berries, he tried to eat them, but they were bitter, lie tried roasting them, and the-,o he finally steeped in some water held in the hollow of h\-> hand, and found tho decoction.ns refreshing a a if he had partaken of solid food. Ife hunied back lo iMoehn, from which he hud been banished, and, inviting the wise men to partake of his discovery, they were so well pleased with it that they made him a saint. The story is told, wiites Thonuis I?. Dawley, jr., in "Success," that collee wa^ inlioJueed into the AVest Indies in 1723, by Chirac, a French physician, who gave a Norman gentleman hy the name of De Olieux, a captain of infantry on his way to Martinique, a single plant. The sea loynge was a stormy one, the ves-cl wa�� dihon out of her course, and drinkine ���water became so scarce that it was distributed in rations. J)e Clieux, with an affection for'his eoll'ee plant, divided hit- poition of water with it, and succeeded in bringing it to 'Mattinique, although weak,������not iii a hopeless,condition. Them he planted it in his guidon, piotected it with a fence of thorns, and watched it daily until thc end of the year, when ho 'gatheied two pounds of colTee, which he distiibuted among, the inhabitants of the i?land to- be planted by them. From JIai Unique cofTee trees in turn were'sent to Santo Domingo, Guadaloupe and other iieiirhbo'iihg islands. The cofiee tree is an evergreen shrub, growing, in its natural state,' to a height of fourteen to eighteen feet. It is usually kept trimmed, however, for convenience in picking the berries, which grow along the branches close to thp leaves and resemble in "shape and color ordinary cherries. The tree cannot be grown1 above the frost line, neither can it be successfully grown in the tropics. The most successful climate for production is that found at an altitude .of about four thousand feet. Any tiling much above this is in danger of frodt, which is fata! to the tree; and, when coffee is grown much below this, it requires artificial ?hade, which materially increases the- eost of production and does not produce as marketable berries. It is owing to this particular requirementl that coffee has never been -successfully produca**1 north of thc Mexican boundary. A Gentle Reminder.

'At that moment Hyatt entered tho chophouse, his hulking body towering over tho waiters, who bustled about, hi* glum faco glummer than usual. "Can I have a word with you, Atwell?" he said, coming up to the table and pitching his head slightly forwaid by way of greet- ^Certainly," said Atwell. ,"Is it pri'. vate? . These,are all my friends, so I don't mind hearing.it hcie, il you don't." "I don't care," the manager retorted, gruffly, sitting down. "Why should I? I'm going out of town in the morning, so Mr. Frothman-,wanted me to see you to-night, before I went. Southfield read your play thiB afternoon, and he can't see it. Says we'll have to call/it off. And what he says pretty near goes." "WhatI" cried Atwell, a sickly pallor coining over hia face, the lines about his noutii suddenly drawing hard. "Oh, you lon't mean that!" \ - "I'm sorry, but I do," said the manager. , " ' '" ' ��� "What's the matter with it? I'll go eee Southfield now," Atwell almost shouted, springing up. "No'use, no use," the, other replied,' pushing him back: again. "It's too-late to see him to-night, and he, won't see you to-morrow. ,He's made up his mind; so's Mr. Frothman.-'You'd better leave 'em alone." ' "But I will know what's the matter," cried the playwright.��� "What did South- field say? It was the play of his" whole career!" - , " --, - ' ."'

His eyes rolled up suddenly and stared in horror to the far end of the chophouse. "Look!" he cried, pointing with his finger. * Everyone turned in the direction of his gaze. The German conductor, unnerved by the sudden, transition, dropped his' mugiwith a crash on the floor. Appleton .was the first to grasp the situation. With a cry, he faced around again and sprang upon Atwell. He was too late. Atwell's coat and waistcoat and shirt were ripped open, and the steel knife that had lain on the fat press agent's plate was in his heart. Appleton caught the body aB it lurched forwaid over the table. ' "People don't do such things in real life," he said to Hyatt, who stood ghastly pale and still as the crowd surged up with a, gieat, outrushing,breath of horror.

"Well, I don't want to give it awaj too much' befoie "the pioduction is settled," siaid Atwell. "but I can-'promise you it is,a great play, a gieat play!" '' "Humph!" said the advance agent. - "The scene is laid right here in New York," Atwell went on, ,in his mounting enthusiasm not heeding the interrup tion. "and it's no commonplace comedy- drama; it's a' real 'picture of a life crushed out by this gigantic, heartless town. We have had New York plays u, plenty, but never one like this, where two out of how many hundred? AtweU for instance, has" written our national masterpiece no leas than, ten times'." ' "Well?" said Forbes. "Well." Appleton replied, "since I'm thp only man who has not written 'the great American drama,' it must be tliak 1 am the only one left to wiite it. However, if I don't write auout it, perhap, I will confer almost a", much of a boon on the public. Now, tell me about your ,work." :.- ... . "Oh," said Forbes, with a grunt of'dis" gust, "I'm working now en-v a "musical comedy!

It's a splendid moment for an actor, too, that end. 1 know you'll like the last act, Appleton. when you see it." 1 "I'm sure I shall," I'aaid Appleton, politely. - ' , \ "Oh, have a drink:" said the advance ,to got produced.

Forbes finished with a must ol jboyish enthusiasm, looking eagerly up to Appletou's face. The other man raised a waining finger "You needn't be ufiaid of anyone at this table," he said. "They don't know anything about Ibyen. But you never can I oil who may be at the next table, a manager, a entic, who knows a little about" him, fo overhear your dreadful remark.

"I've avoided, I'm Mire," he said, "the fault�� which make Ibsen unpopular in this country, while keeping all his virtues. I know the time has come for tho drama of the mind as well us of the heart, for the drama of psychology as well asi of sensation. But it can't all be done by conversational means.

At this suggestion-he rose to^his feet. His eyes were burning, but his voice was level, un der a tremendous contiol.

The big��� beaided Gennan director of grand opei a faced about f-rom the bar, holding his beer mug in hi=' hand, hi3 excitable little eyes fixed m wonder on the speakci '=. face. The chop house was suddenly still." "No, Billy." Atwcll began, "thc ending cannot be rewritten. Thele is only one way a tragedy can end, and that is. in death. Of course Mr. Frothman's doai public, the dear American public, would much rather have their tragedies end happily; but I'm not wiiting for them,- but of them. There's a difference, I find. Moreover, there is only one form of death artistically possible to any given tragedy���that fbrm in mine is suicide with a table knife." The room had become more silent a- Atwell spoke. Curioaity had deepened, into strained attention at the strange earnestness of his voice. A solitary laug:i it his Last woids jaried harshly and w.i- -mothered. He tinned on Hyatt, wh \\,is glowering uncomfortably in hi ���hair, conscious that the dignity of th nun of Frothman was in danger by thi- .uiblic discussion.

Sevendy-vive cents. Un* brellusl" t^-v "Keep the change!"���N. Y. "Life." A Famous Definition. V V-: Poisoning Milk. , ; ' Oeairiiness is the only milk preser-^ vative any farmer'need to use, and the only one he is justified in using.' Preservatives are always a menace to thc health of the consumer of' dairy or; other products in which they are used. And it maters not what name the pre- ��� serving substance goes under, or 'what form it is in���whether a' liquid, as the solutions-of formaldehyde or a powder as the preparations of borax. This, assertion is sufficiently proved by medical records, and circumstances arising out of the general use of milk preservatives is'compelling the prosecution of dairymen in all thc cities where milk is sold. A sample of what is of too frequent occurrence in cities is given from a Seattle, Wash., paper: "Coroner Hoye yesterday stopped thc funeral of a ten- ���months-old child on the way to the cemetery and held an autopsy over the body at the morgue, which resulted in"' finding that the child died from drinking milk containing formaldehyde. The milk was purchased from a local dairy, which is not yet named by the officers, ibut arrests will probably be made/ The proprietors will be charged with murder. The, parents of the child are Greeks, speaking little English. Dr. Ludlow/ city health officer, attended the child, and 'refused to sign a certi- -ficate that the infant died from natural causes. He - communicated . his suspicions v to the, coroner, who at' once took steps to investigate." Half the evils of the use of , milk ' preservatives is not confined to the ' milk on sale in cities, for At is an un-' fortunate fact that the use of milk preservatives is becoming so common that farmers' waves' think nothing of "doping" in hot weather the milk kept (or family use. Hence, in addition to the excesive amount of preservatives taken t by the ..family, in bought canned foods, especially in canned vegetables and' fish^ and in bought meats, the farmers* family'is given a double dose of em- ' balming substances. , " ' And the situation is more serious also because^ of- the fact that on the {arm* preserving compounds are carelessly^ used. In larger manufactories, such as . 'canning factories,, preserving 'compounds are' used " by s rule., and where'' they must be bought by the���hundred- "weight the careful use of the "prcserVcn- becomes a matter of economy. But'not' - so'on'the farm. 'Here the.,quantity ofi ���/ '���milk to be "embalmed" bein,g small, the 'amount of preserver and .its cost are trifling. The person using the '',em- xbalming fluid" then soon comes todis- .regard waste in|_thc case, and when...* 'pinch of the "powder or a few drops oE the-dope" would be enough for the purpose, ten tunes ns much as is necessary for the purpose is often used. It is,-in, fact, a wonder of the times that immediate deaths from the use, of "preservatives" are not of more frequent occurrence under this reign of common: and careless.use of "preservatives" deprived from such a poisonous substance as wood alcohol, which is thc base of! most of thc milk preser- itives on the market. All the risks of immediate illness or permanent injury thi--ugh gradual impairment of the digestive s>stem by the use of milk preserving compounds! may be avoided by ihe liberal use oE hot water, soap suet sunshine on the dairy utensils and fixtures. For to kccrMiiilk cli-au is to keep it sweet. A; ���striking _ example of thc - preserving- power of cleanliness wos given in roco when milk from an Illinois dairy was put on exhibition in sweet'and wholesome condition at tlie Paris, France, Exposition, twelve clays after the milk i came from the cow It was merely- kept clean, and cool No piescrvative \*as used, and no trick or sleisht oi hand used in thc case. The milk-was not even paaicurized. It was merely the milk of a clean cow, drawn by it clean man into a clean pail, and stored in a clean glass jar for shipment And cleanliness, not preservatives. --IiosUI characterize thc dairy products of American farmers.���H.
