I,nl llie good-will and cheer received and given can stay with us longer thnn the passing day. Already Chr .sttnas is regarded as a 'season' and not merely a dny. Fur weeks he fur e Christmas Day downs we httgin to enjoy the thought of its advent, and for sonic time after the new year hns been proclaimed the memories of ChtistmasnCi like pleasant dreams. Chri I mas is an annual visitor wilh a warm heart though his head he crowned with a garland of snow and " some say that ever 'gain-it thnt sea-on comes, wherein our Saviour's birth was celebrated, the bird of drfwn- ing singcth all night loner, and then they sny no ghost dare stir abroad, no fairy takes, tlo witch hath power to ch'aimjso hallowed and so gracious h the time." True it is thnt the angel fioijg of peace and good-will has never been perfectly learnt by men, yet the anniversary of that time brings with it nn atmosphere conducive lo gor.d feeling; and any festival which iiul .ices men lo give the word of* cheer instead of the morose look, to give a smile instead of au expression of hate, has performed for men a worthy service. In olden time our father's celebrated the advent of Christmas by rude ceremonial and hearty feast. Bacchus and the god ol the stomach reigned supreme. We still hold to the mirth and joviality of former days, yet to our credit ne it said, we are somewhat more moderate in our demands for lhe bowl and thc feast. The mind, beside which there is nothing great in man, is beginning 'lo rule lhe province of lhe brute, " STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

Backbone is the thing most needed in matters of ihis kind. We also need street lamps. It is positively dangerous to walk the streets on a dark night.

The only Immediate con- requenco of the aeeideut wus ihatu liarmoniu Btoniooti*aelie was ort-unizeil upon the interior ut Henry Chubb, ami he experienced a res.le,.nens which li*- kttew would defy peppermint and pare L'lltic. Henry Chubb kept liis secret in tlit depth* ot liis own BOIll, und in bin t-tom- ach also, determined to hide his misery from liie father, and to i-pure the roii to the spoiled child—spoiled at any rat* is far ns his digestive upparutui wai roncerned. Bit thut evening, at supper table, Henry had eaten but one mouthful Ol Oread when .trains of wild, mysterious! music were suddenly viaped Iron: under the table. The family Irumedtatel) iliauo an elTurt to discover whence the -i.ui.ih eame, ulthomjh II nry Chubb -at there filled with agony and remorse ami breml and tunes, und desperately asserted his belief that the music came from the cellar, where lhe servant girl was concealed with a harp. He well knew (hat Mary Ann waa unfamiliar with the harp. Uut he was frantic with anxiety to hide his guilt. Thus it is that one crime leads lo another. Uut he could not disguise the fact forever, and that Very night while the family were »t prayers, Henry all at once begun to hiccough, and the music box started nlf without warning wilh " Way Down Upon the Swanee River" with variations. Whereupon the pat- ernul Chubb rose from his knees, and .rasped Henry kindly but firmly by his hair and shook him up and inquired whal he meant by such conduct. And Henry asserted that he was practising something for a Sunday school celebration, which old Chubb intimated was u singular explanation. Then they tried to get up that musical box, and every time they would seize Henry by the lens and shake him off the sofa cushion, or would pour some fresh variety nf emetic down his throat, the instrument would give a fresh spurt, and joyously gtind out "Listen to the mocking bird" or "Thou'lt never cease to love" At last they were compelled to let that musical box remain within tho sepulchral recesses of young Chubb. To say that the unfortunate victim waa made miserable by his condition would he lo express in the feeblest manner the chaotic condition of his mind. The more music there waB in his stomach the wilder became the discord in his soul. As likely aB not it would occur lhat while he lay asleep in tbe middle of lhe ni-ht the works would begin in the mid.Ile of the night and would play "Home, Sweet Home," for twoor threw hours, unless the pen happened to slip, when ihe cylinder would slip back again to " Wny Down Upon the Swanee Kiver' and would rattle out that tune with variations and fragments of the sc-les until Henry's brother would kick him ~ut of hed in wild despair, and sit on him in a vain effort (o subdue the seranade, which however invariably proceeded with fresh vigor, when subjected to unusual pressure. And when Henry Chubb went to church It frequently occuired that, in the very miilEtof the most solemn portion of the sermon,he would feel a gentle disturbance under the lower portion of his jacket; and presently when every- ihing was hushed, the undigested engine would give a preliminary buzz and then reel oil "Listen to tbe Mockine Bird" and "Thou'lt never cease to love' atid the scales and exercises, unlil the clergyman would stop und glare at Henry over ins spectacles and whisper to one of the deacons. Then the sexton would tack up the aisle and clutch the unhappy Mr. Chubb by the collar and i-ciiil down the aisle again to the accompaniment of "Home, Sweet Home," uud then incarcerate Henry ill the upper portion of the Bteeple until afler . hutch. But the end came at last and the miserable buy fom d pence. One day While he was sitting ill school learning his multiplication table to the tune " Thou'lt never cease to love," his gastric juice triumphed. Something in ihe music box gave way all at once, the spring) weie unrolhd wilh alaroiing force, and Henry Chubb, as he felt the fragments hurled ri«ht imh left among his vitals, tumbled over on the floor and expired. At the post-mortem examination they found several pieces of " Home, sweet Home" in bis liver, while one of hie uii.s was severely lorn by a fragment of "Way down upon Ibe Swanne River.' Several panicles of 'Listen to Ihe Mocking Bird" were removed fiom his heart and breast bon-, end three paass pegs ef " Thou:lt never cease to Live" were found lirmly driven into his fifth rib. They had no music, at the funeral. They siited the machinery out of him and buried hint quietly in the cemetery. Whenever tbe Chubbs buy musical boxes now, tbey get thfui as l.-.rge as a pinna and nail them to the wall. IU M x Ad.ler. i SERMON ON DREAMS Dr. Talmage on a Much Talked Of Subject DISCUSSED UNDER FIVE HEADS WakiDg Thought. Have Their Echo in Sleeping; Thoughts — God Frequently Appears in Dreams to Warn, Convert and Save Men—A Few lostances lie- counted. Entered ncr-ordintrto Ant of Parlinmentof Canada, In the year 1901, by William B .ily, of To- n.ii io, ut Lhe Dcp'u of A„ricult ur..-, O.tawa, Washington, Dec. 1.—In this discourse Dr. Talmage discusses a much talked of subject and one in which all arc Interested. The text is .Joel ii, US: "I will put uut my spirit upon all flesh. Your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions." In this photograph of the millennium tlie dream is lifted into great conspicuity, Vou may say of a dream that it is nocturnal fantasia, or that it is the absurb combination of waking thoughts, and with a slur of intonation you may say: "It is only a dream"; but Cod has honored the dream by making it the avenue through which again and again he has marched upon the human soul, decided the fate of nations, and changed the course of the world's history. God appeared in a dream to Abimelech, warning him against an unlawful marriage ; in a dream to Jacob, announcing, by the ladder set against the sky full of angels, the communication between earth and heaven; in a dream to Joseph, foretelling his coming power under the figure of all the sheaves of the harvest bowing down to his sheaf; to the chief butler, foretelling his disimprisonment; to the chief baker, announcing his decapitation: to Pharaoh, showing him first the seven plenty years and then ?he seven famine struck years, under the figure of the seven lean cows devouring the seven fat cows; to Solomon, giving him the choice between wisdom and riches and honor; to a warrior, under the figure of a barley cake smiting down a tent, encouraging Gideon in his battle against the "Midhinitcs; to Nebuchadnezzar, under the figure of a broken image and a hewn down tree, foretelling the overthrow of his power; to Joseph, of the New Testament, announcing the birth of Christ in his own household, and again bidding him fly from Herodic persecutions; to Pilate's wife, warning him not to become complicated with the judicial overthrow of Christ. We all admit that God in ancient times and under Bible dispensation addressed thc people through dreams. The question now is, does , God appear in our day and reveal himself through dreams? This is the question everybody asks, and that question I will try to answer. You ask me if I believe in dreams. My answer is, I do, but all 1 have to say will be under five heads. Remark the First.—The Scriptures are so full of revelation from God that if we get no communication from Ilim in dreams we ought, nevertheless, to be satisfied. With twenty guidebooks to tell you how to get to New York or Pittsburg or London or Glasgow or ..Ian- chest er do you want a night vision to tell you how to make the journey? We have In this Scripture full direction in regard to the journey of this life and how to get to the celestial city, and with this grand guidebook, this magnificent directory, we ought to be satisfied. I have more faith in a decision .to which i come when I am wide awake than when I am sound asleep. I have noticed that those who give a great deal of their time to studying dreams get their brains addled. Sound sieep received great honor when Adam slept so extraordinarily that the surgical incision which gave him Eva did not awake him, but there is no such need for extraordinary slumber now, and he who catches an Eve must needs be wide awake! No need of such a dream as Jacob had, with a ladder against the sky, when ten thousand times it has been demonstrated that earth and heaven are in communication* No such dream needed as that which was given to Abimelech, warning him against an unlawful marriage, when we have thr* records of the county clerk's office. No need of such a dream as wns given to Pharaoh about the seven years of famine, foi* now the seasons march in regular procession and steamer and rail train carry breads tuffs to every famine struck nation. Xo need of a dream like that which encouraged Gideon, for all through Christendom it is announced and acknowledged and demonstrated that righteousness sooner or later will get the victory. If there should come About a crisis in your life upon which the Bible does not seem to be sufficiently specific, go to God in prayer, and you will got especial direction. I have more faith ninety-nine times out of a hundred In directions given you with the Bible in your lap and your thoughts uplifted in prayer to God than in all the information you will get unconscious on your pillow. I. can very easily understand why the Babylonians and the Egyptians with no Bible, should put so much stress on dreams, and the Chinese in their holy book, Chow King, should think their emperor gets his directions through dreams from God, and that Homer should think that all dreams came from -love, and that in ancient times dreams Were classified into a science, but why do you and 1 put so much stress upon dreams when we have a supernal book of infinite wisdom on all subjects? Why should we harry ourselves with dreams? Why should Bddystone nud Barnegat lighthouses Question a summer firefly? Remark tlio Second.—All dreoms have an important meaning. They prove that thc soul is comparative- tu in'tlen-piirfcnt oi the body. Tb» eyes are closed, the senses are dull, the entire body goes into a lethargy which in all languages is used as a type cf death, and then the soul spreads its wing and never sleeps. It leaps the Atlantic ocean and mingles in scenes 3,000 miles away. It travels great reaches of time, Hashes back eighty years, and the octogenarian is a boy again in his father's house. If the soul before it has entirely broken its chain of flesh can do all this, how far can it leap, what circles can it cut when it is fully liberated! Every dream, whether agreeable or harassing, whether sunshiny or tempestuous, means so much that, rising from your couch, you ougl t to kneel down and say: "Oh God, am I immortal ? Whence? Whither? Two natures. My soul caged now—what when the door of the cage is opened? If my soul c_,in fly so far in the few hours iu which my body is asleep in the night.how far can it lly when my body sleeps the long sleep of the grave? oh, this power to dream, how startling, how overwhelming ! Immortal* immortal! Licmark the Third.—The vast majority of dreams are merely the result of disturbed physical condition and are not a supernatural message. Job had carbuncles and he was seated in the night. lie says. "Thou scarest me with dreams and terrifies!, me with visions." Solomon had an overwrought brain, overwrought with public business, and he suffered from erratic slumber, and he writes in Ecclesiastes. "A dream cometh through the multitude of business." Br. Gregory, in experimenting with dreams,found that a bottle of hot water put to his feet while in slumber made him think he was going up the hot sides of Mount Etna. Another morbid physician, experimenting with dreams, his feet uncovered through sleep, thought he was riding in an Alpine diligence. But a great many dreams are merely narcotic disturbance. Anything that you see while under the influence of chloral or brandy or hasheesh or laudanum is not a revelation from God. Bo not mistake narcotic disturbance for divine revelation. But I have to tell you that the majority of tlie dreams are merely the penalty of outraged digestive organs, ami you have no right to mistake the nightmare for heavenly revelation. Late suppers are a warranty deed for bad dreams. Highly spiced salads at 11 o'clock at night, instead of opening* the door heavenward, open the door infernal and diabolical. You outrage natural law, and you insult the God who has made those laws. It takes from three to five hours to digest food, and you have no right to keep your digestive organs in struggle when thc rest of your body is in somnolence. Thc general rule is eat nothing after 6 o'clock at night, retire at 10, sleep on your right side, keep the window open five inches for ventilation, and other worlds will not disturb you much. By physical maltreatment you take the ladder that Jacob saw in his dream, and you lower it to the nether world, allowing the ascent of the demoniacal. Dreams are midnight dyspepsia. An unregulated desire for something to eat ruined the race in paradise, and an unregulated desire for something to eat keeps it ruined. Thc world during 6,000 years has tried in vain lo digest that first apple. riio world will uot bo evangalized until we get. rid of a dyspeptic. Christianity. Healthy people do not want the cadaverous and sleepy thing l!:;it, some people call religion. They want a religion that lives regularly by day ami sleeps soundly by night. !i t hrough t rouble or coming on of old age or exhaustion of Christian service you cannot sleep well, then you may expect from God "songs in the night," but there are no blessed communications to thoso who willingly surrender indigestihies. Napoleon \s army at Leipsic, Dresden abd Gorodino came near being destroyed through the disturbed gastric juices of its commander. That is the way you have lost some of your battles. Another remark I make is that our dreams are apt to be merely the echo of our daytime thoughts. I will give you a recipe for pleasant dreams. Pill yonr days with elevated thought and unselfish action aud your dreams will be set to music. If all day you are gouging and gasping ami avaricious, in your dreams you will sec gold that you cannol Clutch and bargains in which you were out-Shylocked. if during the day you are irascible and pugnacious and gunpowdery of disposition, you will at night hnve battle with enemies in which they will get tho best of you. Jf you are nil day long in a hurry, ut night you will dream of rail trains tbat you want to catch while you cannot move ono Inch toward tlio depot. if you are always oversuspicious ami expcctanl of assault, you will have at. night hallucinations of assassins wiih daggers drawn. No one wonders that Richard 111., the ini.unions, the night before the battle of Bosworth Field dreamed that all those whom he had murdered stared at him and that he was torn to pieces by demons from the pit. Tho scholar's dream is a philosophic echo. The poet's dream is a rhythmic echo. Coleridge composed his " Kubla Khan" asleep in a narcotic dream and. waking up, wrote down 300 lines of it. Tarttnin, the violin player, composed his most wonderful sonata while asleep in a dream so vivid that, waking, he easily transferred it to paper. Waking thoughts have their echo iu sleeping thoughts. If a man spend his life in trying lo make others happy and is heavenly minded, around his pillow he will sec cripples who have got over their crutch, and processions of celestial imperials, and b'ar the grand inarch roll down from drums of heaven over jasper parapets. You are vcrj apt to hear in dreams what you hear when you are wide aWako. The Hev. Pr. Bushnell in his marvelous book entitled "Nature and tbe I Supernatural" gives tin* following i fact thnt he got from Captain Vomit in California, a fact confirmed by many families: Captain Yount dreamed twice one night that 150 miles away there was a company of travelers fast in the snow, lie also saw in the dream rocks of peculiar formation and, telling this dream to an old hunter, the hunter said: "Why, 1 remember those rocks. Those rocks are in the Carson Valley Pass, 150 miles away." Captain Yount, impelled by this dream, although laughed at by his neighbors, gathered men together, took mules and blankets and started out on the expedition, traveled 150 miles, saw those very rocks which ho had described in his dream and found the suffering ones at the foot of those rocks, brought them back to confirm the story of Captain Yount. Who conducted that dream? The God of thc snow, the God of the Sierra Novndas. God has often appeared in resource and comfort. You have known people—perhaps it is something I state in your experience—you have seen people go to sleep with bereavements inconsolable, and they awakenfld in perfect resignation because of what they had seen in slumber. Br. Cranage, one of tho most remarkable men I ever met — remarkable for benevolence and great philanthropies — at Wellington, England, showed me a house where the Lord had appeared in a wonderful dream to a poor woman. The woman was rheumatic, sick, poor to thc last point of destitution. She was waited on and cared for by another poor woman, ber only attendant. Word came to her one day that this poor woman had died, and the invalid of whom I am speaking lay helpless upon the couch, wondering what would become of her. In that mood she fell asleep. In her dreams she said the angel of the Lord appeared and took her into the open air and pointed in one direction, and there were mountains of bread, and pointed in another direction, and there were mountains of butter, and pointed in another direction, and there were mountains of all kinds of worldly supply. The angel of the Lord said to her: "Woman, all these mountains belong to your Father, ' and do you think ho will let you, j his child, hunger and die?" Br. Cranage told me by some divine impulse ho went into that destitute home, saw the! suffering there, and administered unto it, caring for her all tho Way through. Do you tell mo that that dream was woven out of earthly anodynes? Was that tho phantasmagoria of a diseased brain? No; it was an all sympathetic God addressing a poor woman through a dream. Furthermore, 1 have to say that there are people who were converted to God through a dream. The Bev. John Newton, the fame of whose piety fills all Christendom, while a profligate sailor on shipboard, in his dream thought that a being approached him and gave him a very beautiful ring and put it upon his linger and said to him: "As long as you wear that ring you will be prospered. If you lose that ring, you will be ruined." In the same dream another personage appeared and by a strange infatuation persuaded John Newton to throw overboard that ring, and it sank into the sea. Then thc mountains in sight were full of fire, and the air was lurid with consuming wrath. While .John Newton was repenting of his folly in having thrown overboard thc treasure another personage came through the dream and told John Newton he would plunge into the sea and bring that ring up if he desired it. Ho plunged into the sea and brought it up and said to John Newton. "Here is that gem, but I think I will keep it for you lest you lose it again." And John Newton consented, and all tho Arc went out from thc mountains and all the signs of lurid wrath disappeared from thc air, and John Newton said that ho saw in his dream that that valuable gem was his soul and that the being who persuaded him to throw it overboard was Satan nnd that the one who plunged in and restored that gem, keeping it for him, was Christ. And that dream makes one of tbe most wonderful chapters in the life of that most wonderful man. Hev. Herbert Mendos was converted to God through a dream of the last judgment, and many of us have had some dream of that great day of judgment, which shall be tho winding up of the world's history. If you have not dreamed of it, perhaps tonight you may dream of that day. There aro enough materials to make a dream. Enough voices, for there shall bo the roaring of the elements and the great earthquake. Enough light for the dream, for the World shall blaze. Enough excitement for the mountains shall fall Enough water, for thc ocean shall rear. Enough astronomical phenomena, for the slurs shall go out.

The Secret by "Which a Yankee Mechanic Out of Work Made an Easy l.i\ inX — IIU Imposing Array of Tool* and the Enchanted Can. A man employed ns a fitter of parts or finisher of clock movements in a Connecticut clock factory received notice some years ago that the entire plant would, on n stated day, close its doors for an Indefinite period, owing to the business depression then prevailing throughout the country. On the appointed day ho and the other hands left their benches. For the first week or so idleness seemed to him like a needed vacation, hut ns the days rolled hy without nny prospect of a resumption of work he had tn consider bow he was going to earn his living. Plowing or driving n truck team was out nf the question with hiin, and he final-* ly decided to fit up a wagon and drive about the country tinkering clocks. Accordingly n light rig was secured nud fitted out with queer looking hammers, duck billed pinchers and what not. Then to give an imposing nir to the outfit he added a miscellaneous assortment of extra parts of clocks, such as dials, pointers, verges, clock springs, etc. Most important of all was the ingenuity and good nature of a Yaukee which he supplied himself. Driving leisurely along over the country roads he would pick, out a house, alight, hitch his horse to a hospitable post nnd saunter in, something ns u near relative would do. "Got any sick clocks here, madam?" be would ask. This style of introduction generally succeeded nnd disnbled timepieces were brought to light. "What's the matter with the clock, anyway?" ho would sny as he examined a clock. Then the whole story of its rise and fall would follow. "Been prying into the cogs with the handle of a feather duster?" "No, sir. Nothing of the kind." 'Tins it ever to your certain knowledge unloosed itself from its moorings and fallen to the floor?" "No, indeed; nothing of the kind. It simply petered out, thnt's all." "Too bnd!" nnd a doubtful shake of the head would indicate that the attending physician considered the case quite serious. "Well," he would go on, "I hnve nn emergency wagon witli mo and I nm laboring under the impression thnt if the case is placed in my hands nt once the ntllicted one mny be restored to robust health." His services being retained, he would lay out on the dining room table in an imposing manner the extra parts, the queer looking hammers and the duel- billed pinchers. He would also bring in, but would not make conspicuous, nn en- ehnntcd can containing n magic fluid. Everything being ready, the hands and face were removed first, then came the pendulum. Examination of the interior was usually followed by the same procedure. Tho springs were wound to their fullest extent and the movement was taken from its accustomed place and set Upon the work table. Then, with n dexterous movement of the clock tinker's fingers, the small verge tbat held in check the power of the spring by locking into the teeth of tbe crown wheel at the apex of tbe train was slipped from the small wire that kept it in plnce nnd away went the entire train spinning like mad. A slight pressure of tbe fiiVefingor against the swiftly revolving verge or crown wheel would act us a coaster brake aud the trniu would be brought to a standstill. The cover to tbe enebnnted can was quickly removed and the metal movement wns nllowed to sink to tbo bottom of the mngic fluid contained therein, thus giving tbe tightly wound movement n chance to splash in the fluid until it wns completely unwound. When the wheels hnd ceased to spin, the clock tinker would take the movement out and rub it dry. The next step was to lubricate it, which was done by placing one-half of a hickory nut meat between tbe jaws of tbe duck billed pinchers and with a firm grip pressing out the oil, which, through the agency of a broom splint, wns conveyed to the bearing of every pinion lip. The verge was put back on thu little wire and locked into the crown wheel once more, the springs newly wound and the convalescing patient was well on the road to recovery. Tbe movement was set back in its own place, the pendulum rod and ball carefully adjusted, the .ace and bauds restored and again the recorder of minutes was on tbe shelf, going tick-took, tick-tock. "Now, Mr. Clockman, that sound- homelike. What's your bill?" "Well, for chronic cases like this our fee is usually $1." And he said afterward the money came like finding it. When business was at its best, be received word tbat the factory would soon start up on full time and his services Would be required to make more clocks for future clock tinkers to doctor up. In later years be explained tbe trick as follows: It seems that six out of every ten halky clocks are afllictod with the same disorder, gummy, ditty pinions, and instead of taking the whole movement apart be Flipped the verge off and allowed the movement to run down In a can of common stove gnsoline. The fluid would remove the old oil that had collected dust and lint to an extent that stopped tbe clock, the revolving pinions cleansed themselves and when tbe movement was taken from the liquid it was La running order again,* Milk Ib Fattening.

A FeTr Thoup-iit* on the Consideration That Is Dae Wives. Because misery flaunts itself before the world many believe tbat happiness is the exception and not the rule. "Happiness is oft times secretive and quiet; misery is noisy and communicative. Happiness seeks no confidant; unbappiness wants to be sympathized with. Happiness thanks God in silence. Misery cries aloud to the world." Having announced these truths, the writer on "The Duty of Husbands" in The New World says further that, while a cross, faultfinding wife is a terrible thing, a man may seek refuge in tbe saloon, the corner grocery, his office or his club, but, alas, if the husband come. home in a state of irritation and wrath there is nothing for tbe wife to do but to jump out of the window, train herself for a monument of fortitude or, worse still, talk back and make a point of getting in tbe last word. A woman driven to bolster up her self respect on the consciousness that she is a victim wbo is unappreciated nud that she must wait for virtue to bring its own reward somewhere and some time is sure to become a very self righteous individual and exceedingly unpleasant to live with. Had her little efforts nt goodness been met with amiability from ber husband and her cases of overworked nerves been treated wltb tact it is probable that she would have developed as a loving womanly woman instead of a complaining martyr. Continues the writer; "Why not study your wife as you study your partner? Why not be as tactful nnd patient with her as you are with him? Why not entertain nnd nmuse her as you do your customers and patrons? "If you called at your neighbor's bouse and found anything amiss, how suave nnd amiable you would be about it. Are you equally so when things go amiss at your own home? "If uot, why not? "Why are neighbors to be treated with more consideration than your very dearest ones? "There Is no woman on tbe face of the earth to whom you should show such considerate thougbtfulness as to your wife. You should study to avoid nggra voting ber faults, aud you should strengthen her best qualities by judicious praise." The Late Dowager Empress. It is to tho Empress Frederick, the j eldest daughter of Queen Victoria, that Germany is indebted for innovations tbat ; no German woman would have bad the hardihood to suggest. During tbe life- ■ time of William II., as tbe wife of the ; erown prince, the prospective empress, Bhe wielded an immense influence—an in- fiuence approved by her husband, who adored her, and which had for its para- mount aim tbe advancement of German women. She, herself a woman of natu- j rally strong mind, had been thoroughly Well educated She has heen called "a woman of universal attainment-./' familiar with international politics, interested in art and science and, like ber sister Louise, now tbe Duchess of Argyll, she beguiled the time with brush, pen and pencil and kept up a voluminous correspondence with the eminent men nnd women of every country in Europe. It Is due to ber that tbe tbiergarten, once a pleasure ground for the aristocracy, waa thrown open to the people, and she was also instrumental tn establishing playgrounds for children in various open squares about Berlin. Her chief monument, however—one destined to bave a direct effect upon the future development of Germany—was tbe establishment of tbe Victoria lyceum for the higher education of women, nnd to which not only Germans but those of other nationalities are admitted. The tuition, which is the best that the empire affords, is free, nnd the Empress Frederick gave to it liberally of ber own private menus. they are accepting tbe choice of mothers, wives and daughters in matters that deeply concern their culture and mental development. The home influence is lost when the wife makes life a mere drudgery in which there is no nrtistic expression or appreciation ia the household; likewise she does not stimulate and attract when her personal adornment is neglected and she fails to make the most of the physical gifts of nature. CUTTING DIAMONDS. French Submarine Boa *_.*_■ France has 14 submarine boats built or completing, and eight more | projected. Women Arhtters of Taste, Tn civilized countries nnd nations women by tradition and practice are the chief arbiters of our artistic life, says A. S. Atkinson. AI.

Tbey learn to accept as the true standard of taste what they daily see iu their homes, on tho streets and in society. Unconsciously The Various Stngres Qf a Delicate and In leresting Process. "The diamond, when mined," said an. expert, "is very often of a shape so uneven that, in preference to cutting half off and letting tbat part go to dust, ar was formerly done, incisions are now, made running with the grain of the diamond. The Incision is made with th*v sharp edge of another ^diamond. The ■cleaving knife is then inserted nnd given a sharp tap, and tbe stone will split as- tho grain runs, aud thus two or more smaller but better shaped diamonds are* made. "After the diamond is cleft it is necessary to do the rough cutting technically known as 'bruting.' This is done by affixing two diamonds on the ends of two boxwood sticks with a very bard cement. One is then rubbed agaiust tho other, and 'diamond cuts diamond.' Tbey aro held over a cutting bux having two iron pegs for levers aud containing finely perforated brass paus, through which tho dust falls, tbe chips remaining in tho top pan. "The stone, having been cut to tbe satisfaction of the master, is taken to tho- polishing room, where a setter selects a suitable sized brass cup, called a 'dope,' fills it with a mixture of lead nud tin, and melts it iu a gas flame. Having worked the solder to its proper shape be places the diamond in the center, leaving only a very small part exposed. A mark is made on the solder before It becomes thoroughly set, "and then tbe stone is passed on to the polisher. By the mark made on the solder tbe latter knows at once the precise run of the grain and tho way in which it will polish to tho best advantage on the mill. "The lirst operation is the making of the 'table' of the diamond. This done, it is handed back to the setter that be may take it out of tbe solder and *eset it for the first corner, called the flat corner. The solder is again marked to indicate to the polisher tbe run of tbe grain of this particular corner, and so the process is continued until the diamond is polished throughout. Every facet has a name, and every name denotes the grain and how to polish that particular facet. Tbo polisher uses a circular disk composed of soft, porous iron, so that as the diamond is polished away in the form of dust it enters tbe pores of tho iron, the result being that we bave tbe diamond cutting the diamond again. "Without thc assistance of the diamond dust the iron would not make the slightest impression on tlie diamond. The polishing wheel or disk is propelled hy steam power and makes 2,000 to 3,000 revolutions in a minute. Before tbe silently revolving disks you will see men so intent upou tbeir work that they have ejus for nothing else; for, notwithstanding the perfection of the machinery, the skill of the workmen remains of primal importance. It is with their fingers and thumbs that they adjust the points, edges and facets of tbe diamond with extreme accuracy, keeping tbem constantly moist with diamond dust and olive oil. Tbe thumbs of the workmen, being used continually and with much force, become greatly enlarged. "The beauty of a cut or finished stone depends so much upon the form and position of tbe facets that a moderately fine stone, well cut ami polished, is of far greater value than a large one less artistically worked. It sometimes happens thut the lapidary receives a stone of very unfortunate shape. His duty will, therefore be to take all possible care to preserve its size and, hiding its faults, give it such a form as shall send it forth with the greatest weight consistent with beauty aud brilliancy."

COLD SETTLES ON THE KIDNEYS Deep-Seated Kidney Disease often the Result of a Neglected Cold —Then Come Great Sufferings from Lumbago and Backache. Few people realize what a vast,proportion of serious illnesses arises from cold settling on some delicate organ of the body. The kidneys and liver, ns well as the lungs, are very easily affected by sudden changes of temperature, and the results are often suddenly fatal. It is a common experience with farmers, teamsters, railroad men and laborers to have a cold settle on tho kidneys and throw these organs, as well as the wholo digestive system out of order. There is usually backache, pains in the sides and limbs, deposits in the urine, pain anil scalding wilh urination and irregularity of the bowels. DR.

An Invention Whicli It«.ir Speak,, Not Merely ltrpr-iluuc. >p.--ch. A remarkable triumph in mechanical invention has just been achieved by Pr. Murage, who has succeeded in constructing a machine that can utter plainly and distinctly the five vowels—a, e, i, o, u. Although many attempts have been made at this, it is only now that success hes been attained, and before long we may expect to have a machine that can ;*'ally talk. Of course, the phonograph is not a talking machine, because it merely gives off a record that has already been made upon a cylinder by an actual human voice. Pr. Murage's machine, however, creates the vowel sounds at first hand. This machine has been constructed so as to reproduce tlie interior of • person's mouth while pronouncing thc different vowels, using the plastic substance employed by dentists. These false mouths, as it were, are made of plaster Paris, and are litted by sirens giving the appropriate combinations of sounds. Pr. Murage then sets his machine in operation and the vowels arc produced synthetically. Pr. Murage purposes to modify the steam sirens used on shipboard so that they wii! imitate tlie vowel sounds. Thus different phonetic syllables mny be obtained which may be used to form an international alphabet. Another important application of this synthetic process can be made in the construction of ear trumpets that will not fntiguc the deaf, because they will not modify the grouping of oscillation adapted to the ear. Pr. Marage has also constructed the "acouomoter," giving a typical sound of the vowel "a," for example, which may he used as a standard to which certain other Bounds may be referred. Thus there are far greater possibilities for this self-talking machine than appear from a first glance at it. Now that it is possible to make ■exact mechanical reproductions of the human mouth with pliable lips, perfect teeth, and nil tho wonderful inner mechanism, it would be possible to use these mechanical word producers on a magnified scale on steamships at night and in fogs, and many disasters may thereby be averted. At present Dr. Marage is engaged in perfecting his invention and studying particularly those words in the production of which the cheeks play a more or less important part, for in this direction ie feels he hns not yet achieved perfection.— London Express.

He Had Suffered for Forty Years From Dyspepsia—Food Became Detestable and Stomach Cramps Made Life a Burden. From The Topic, Petrolea, Ont. Few men in Petrolea are better known than Mr. Thomas Findlay, who has resided here nearly forty years. In 1862 Mr. Findlay came here, and before the railroad connected with Petrolea he drove a stago coach, bringing -the early oil men. When the railroad came hero Mr. Findlay engaged m the oil business, but later ho suffered from a gun accident, that disabled his hands permanently. After recovering from his Mr. Findlay was appointed constable and night watchman for the town, which oliice he has held during thirty years past. This accident was by no means Mr. Findluy's worst misfortune. From early youth he had been a martyr to dyspepsia, which finally became so bad that he looked forward to death as a merciful releu.se. Happening to hear that Mr. Findlay had found complete relief from his lifelong foe, a Topic reporter waited on him to find if this was true. Mr. Findlay was only too glad to tell his story, hoping its publication might help some other sufferer. " I am a pretty old man now/' said Mr.Findlay, " but I cannot remember the time when I was not in pain from pernicious dyspepsia and stomach trouble until lately. As a young man on the farm I suffered all'sorts of pains with it; food would sour on my stomach and violent vomiting spells would follow. As 1 grew older my sufferings increased. 1 could not eat anything but thc simplest kind of food, and little of that. My system became badly run down and I grew so weak that I really looked forward to death as a release from my misery. One after another I tried doctors und medicines, but could get no relief; then in despair I concluded to quit all and await the end. Meantime my condition became worse. Violent cramps attacked my legs, prostrating me for a time. They became worse and more frequent until they one day attacked my stomach, and I thought my end had come. Unable to move and in agony I was driven home, as I thought to die, but after an injection of morphine I gradually recovered. From that time on the cramps increasing in frequency and violence. Nothing gave mo relief except the temporary immunity from pain afforded by morphine. 1 became so weak from pure starvation that death stared me in the face. Finally a friend said: 'Why don't you try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills?' 'What's the uso?' I said, ' I've tried everything and just got worse all the time.' 'Well," she snid, 'you try a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, thoy cured me, ami I believe they will do you good.' Well, I purchased a box '.•il started taking them. After a liltle 1 thought they helped nie, so I kept on taking them for a couple of months when I felt I was really cured after so many years of suffering. My strength came back, my stomach recovered its power, and I was able to eat anything I fancied, and once more could enjoy life. This is nearly two years ago, but I was cured to stay cured. I have never had a sick day since or known the slightest stomach trouble. I am confident I would be a -dead man now if it were not for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills— nothing else ever helped me." The old adage ''experience is the best teacher," might well be applied in cases of dyspepsia, and if sufferers would only be guided by the experience of those who have suffered but are now well and happy through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink rills, there would be less distress throughout the land. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can be had at all dealers in medicine, or by mail, post paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by addressing the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Joseph Chamberlain Spend. Hi. Holiday** Among Them—Hi. lieautifnl Home Garden. Mr. Chamberlain is one of the few British legislators who spend the Parliamentary recess at home. "Home" in Mr. (Jhumberlnin's case means Highbury, Birmingham, where lies the garden that the Colonial Secretary loves. Built, as it was, in 1880, under his own directions, Highbury might almost be taken as showing Mr. Chamberlain's character. It lies but, two miles from the • pulsating heart of commercial Birmingham, and vet is so surrounded by its own thickly- wooded grounds that so soon as you have entered its gates you feel you are in the heart of the country. The house itself might be taken as tlie ideal suburban home. It was birilt and has been furnished with bttt two objects in view—comfort und tuste. In thc gallery hang two pictures of particular interest; one a portrait of Mrs. Chamberlain by the late Sir John Millais; the other a portrait of the Colonial Secretary, by the famous American artist Sargent. Tlie Highbury library is probably oue of the best collections of foreign books to be found in any private house in Britain; but it is rather on his garden than his books that Mr. Chamberlain's interest centres when at home. The grounds are ideal in this respect; that you can wander from the exotic orchid houses into almost uncultivated dells and hollows. Miss Murrell Morris, in her "Life of the Colonial Secretary," says: "Though not caring for the manual labor of gardening, such as potting and pruning, which many enthusiasts enjoy, he generally likes to superintendent the planting of shrubs, the laying out of beds, the arrangement of the houses. He knows much of plants, his knowledge not being restricted to orchids. He has often called the attention of the working classes to the hobby of gardening as one of the purest, healthiest and least costly in which a man can indulge. An except must of course, be made in the case of an orchid collector, whose hobby cannot be called inexpensive. When Mr. Chamberlain is in London, one of the very few real recreations he permits himself is to visit (often on a Saturday afternoon) the Botanical Gardens at Kew, where the gardeners are sure to show him any addition to or any curiosity among their treasures." When Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlain are in London, a choice selection of roses and other flowers are sent up two or three times a week, and every afternoon two buttonholes consisting of orchids are dispatched from Highbury, one for.the Colonial Secretary, the other for Mr. Austin Chamberlain. When you lirst step into the orchid houses, of which there aro fourteen. you are intoxicated by bewildering varieties of tints and colors. Here is a blossom so rich and vivid in color that only the hand of a master would dare attempt to picture il on canvas! Dazzled, vou turn away only to look into a "dying sunset" growing nearby. Yet another rivets your eye while your brain tells you that here at last you have seen -lhe gleam, the light that never was on sea or land, the consecration and the poet's dream." You wander on along vista afler vista, of exotic verdure, the very ceiling clothed with climbing plants. This is where the Colonial Secretary loves to stop and muse. Bailer's Temporary Successor. Major-General Hifdyard, C.B. (p.s. c), who if! gazetted for appointment ns Deputy Adjutant at the War Office, and who is now temporarily in command at Aldershot, began his career by serving five years in the navy. Since entering the army he has seen much service in the Egyptian campaign, being present at the battles of Kassossin and Tel-el-Ke- bir. For his services in the latter he was mentioned in despatches, was promoted to a Lieutenant-Colonelcy and received from the Khedive the order of thc fourth class of the Os- rnanieh. Ho entered the army on March 9,18(37, ns an ensign in the Highland Light Infantry, and became a. full Colonel nineteen years later. In the meantime he filled the responsible posts of Deputy Assistant Adjutant-General at the War Oflice, and a similar appointment at Aldershot. He was promoted Major-General in May, 1809, while in command of the third infantry brigade, stationed at Aldershot. Going to South Africa as officer in command of the second brigade of the first division of the Army Corps in South Africa under General Duller, he gained distinction, especially at Estcourt, during the arduous advance to Ladysmith. He comes of old stock, which goes as far back as Dobbin of Roddisdale, who fought for thc house of Lancaster in the Wa-- of the Doses. MUST HAVE HIT THEM.
