TALMAGFS SERMON, SUNDAY'S DISCOURSE BY THE NOTED DIVINE. The Choice ot a WifeFrom a Rustle Bible Scene is Drawn a Practical ami Inspiring Lesson For All Classes of PeopleThe Calling For Special Work. Text: "Now Mosea kept the flock ot Jethro, hi father-in-law, the priest of Mldian." Exodus ill., 1. In the southeastern part of Arabia a man Is sitting by a well. It Is the arid country and water is soarce, so that a well Is of great value, and floclcs and herds are driven vast distances to have their thirst slacked. Jethro, a Mldianlte sheik and priest, was so fortunate as to have seven daughters, and they are practical girls, and yonder they come, driving the sheep and cattle and camels of their father to the watering. They lower the buckets and then pull them up, the water plashing on the stones and chilling their feet, and the troughs are filled. Who is that man out there, sitting unconcerned and looking on? Why does he not come and help the women In this hard work of drawing water? But no sooner have the dry lips and pant ing nostrils of the flocks begun to cool a little In the brimming trough of the well than some rough Bedouin shepherds break in upon the scene, and with clubs and shouts drive back the animals that were drinking and affright these girls until they fly in retreat, and the flocks or these ill mannered shepherds are driven to the troughs, taking the places of the other flocks. Now that man sitting by the well begins to color up, and his eye flashes with Indig nation, and all the gallantry of his nature is aroused. It is Moses who naturally had a quick temper, anyhow, as he demon strated on one occasion when he saw an Egyptian oppressing an Israelite and gave the Egyptian a sudden clip and buried him in the sand, and as he showed afterward when he broke all the Ten Commandments at once by shattering the two granite slabs op w&Jch the law was written. But the in justice of tkls treatment of the seven girls sets him on Are with, wrath, and he takes this shepherd by ttitjs .throat, and pushes back another shepherd till he falls over the trough, and alms a stunning blow between the eyes of another, as he cries, "j37oner you villains!" and he hoots and roars at the sheep and cattle and camels of these invaders and drives them back; and hav ing cleared the pluce of the desperadoes, he told the seven girls ot thU Mldianlte sheik to gather their flocks together and bring them again to the watering. The fact that It took the seven daughters to drive the flocks to the well Implies that they were immense flocks, and that her father was a man of wealth. What was the use of Zipporah's bemoaning herself with work when she might have reclined on the hillside near" her father's tent, and plucked butteroups, and dreamed out ro mances, and sighed idly to the winds, and wept over imaginary sours to the brooks. No, she knew that work was honorable, and that every girl ought to have some thing to do, and so she starts with the Meating and lowing and bellowing and neighing droves to the well for the watering. Around every home there are flocks and droves of cares and anxieties, and everj daughter of the family, though there ba seven, ought to be doing her iart to take care of the flocks. In many households, not only Is Zipporah, but all her sisters, without praotical and useful employments. Many of them are waiting for fortunate and prosperous matrimonial alliance, but some lounger like themselves will come along, and after counting the large num ber of father Jethro's sheep and camels will make proposal that will be accepted; and neither of them having done anything more practical than to chew chocolate caramels, the two nothings will start on the road of life together, every step more and more a failure. That daughter of the Midianitish sheik will never find her Moses. There is a question that every father and mother ought to ask the daughter at break fast or tea table, and that all the daugh ters of the wealthy sheik ought to ask each other: "What would you do If the family fortune should fail, if sickness should prostrate the breadwinner, if the flocks ol Jethro should be destroyed by a sudden ex cursion ot wolves and bears and hyenas from the mountain? What would you da for a living? Could you support yourself? Can you take care of an Invalid mother or brother or sister as well as yourself?" Yea, bring it down to what any day might come to a prosperous family. "Can you cook a dinner If the servants should make, a strike tor higher wages and leave that morning?" There needs to be peaceful, yet radical revolution among most of the prosperous homes of America, by which the elegant do-nothings may be transformed into prac tical do-somethings. Let useless women go to work and gather the flocks. Come, Zipporah, let me introduce you to Moses. See in this call of Moses that God has a great memory. Four hundred years before He had promised the deliverance of the op pressed Israelites of Egypt. The clock ol time has struck the hour, and now Moses is called to the work of rescue. Four hun dred years is a very long time, but you see God can remember a promise four hundred years as well as you can remember four hundred minutes. No one realizes how great he is for good or for evil. There are branchings out and rebounds, and reverberations, and elab orations of influence that can not be esti mated. The fifty or one hundred years of our earthly stay Is only a small part of oui sphere. The flap of the wing of the de stroying angel that smote the Egyptian oppressors, the wash of the Red Sea over the heads of the drowned Egyptians, were all fulfillments of promises four centuries old. And things occur in your life and in mine that we can not account for. They may be the echoes of wbat was promised In the sixteenth or seventeenth century. Oh, the prolongation of the divine memoryl Notice, also that Moses was eighty years of age when he got this call to become th Israelitish deliverer. Forty years he had lived in palaces as a prince, another forty years he had lived in the wilderness of Arabia. Nevertheless, he undertook the work, and if we want to know whether he succeeded, ask the abandoned brick-kilns of Egyptian taskmasters, and the splint ered chariot wheels strewn on the beach of the Red Sea. and the timbrels which Miriam clapped for the Israelites passed over and the Egyptians gone under. Still further, watch this spectacle of genuine courage. No wonder when Moses scattered the rude shepherds, he won Zip porah's heart. What mattered it to Moses whether the eattle of the seven daughters of Jethro were driven from the troughs by the rude herdsmen? Sense of justice fired his courage; and the world wants more of the spirit tliHt will dare almost anything to see others righted. All the time at wells of comfort, at wells of joy, at wells of re ligion, and at wells of literature there are outrages practice'!, the wrong herd3 get ting the first water. Those who have the previous right come in last, if they come, in at all. Thank God, we have here and there a strong man to set things right! I am so giad that when God h?s an especial work to do, He has some oie ready to ac complish it. Still another, see in this call of Moses that if God has any especial work for you to do He will help you. , There were Egypt and Arabia and the Pult-scine with their crowded population, but the num the Lord wanted whs at the southern point of the triangle of Arabia, and He picUs him right out. the ftiepherd who ke-t the flock oi Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest and sheis. So God will not find it bard to take you out from the sixteen hui dred millions of the human race 1 He wan .s you for any thing especial. O what a fascinatiDg and : aspiring char acter this Moshs! How time all other storifs compared wita the 1 -lography 'of Moses! An Ancient Castom. From Republican Traveler, Arkansas City, ' Kan. nigrimages to some shrine of St. Vitus to cure the disease known as St. Vitus' dance are no longer made. The modern way of treating this affliction is within reaoh of every household, as is shown by the experience ot Karl A. Wagner, the eleven-year-old son of George Wagner, of 615 9th St... Arkansas City, Kan. The fath er tells the story as follows: "Over a year ago," he says, "Karl was taken with St. Vitus' dance and continued to grow worse during Ave months he was under a physician's care. His tongue be came paralyzed and we could not under stand a word he said. He became very thin, lost the use of his right leg and seemed doomed to become a hopeless in valid. We had about given up hope when Dr. Williams' Pink Tills for Pale People were recommended to my wife by a lady whose daughter had been cured of a simi lar affliction by the pills. "I bought a box of them at once and soon noticed a change for the better In Karl's con dition. I was so well pleased that I bought more of them, and when he had taken five boxes the disease dis appeared. A Hopeless Invalid. "That was six months ago and there has been no return ot the disease. The cure was effectual and permanent, and I feel satisfied that no other medicine could have pro duced so marvelous a result. We feel re joiced over the restoration of our son, and cannot help but feel that Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are the most re markable medicine on the market." No disoovery of modern times has proved such a blessing to mankind as Dr. Will lams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Acting directly on the blood and nerves, invigor ating the body, regulating the functions, they restore the strength aud health in the exhausted patient when every effort of the physician proves unavailing. These pills are sold In boxes at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists, or direct by mall from Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y. Opium is considered three times as deadly as alcohol. .Beauty Is Blood Deep. Clean blood means a clean skin. No beauty without it.

Control of Palsied Hands. The oontrol men get over their hands by constant practice was being discussed. One cited the case of an artist who is afflicted with palsy so badly that he cannot convey his food or drink to his mouth unaided. And yet this man with pallet and brush in hand can paint .. as well as ever he could. Before his brush touches the canvas his hand trembles violently, but the moment he feels the brush touch his picture his stroke becomes firm and strong and just what he de sires it to be. Almost a 'parallel case is-that of a veteran soldier well known in Kansas City, "Peg Leg" Smith. Smith is now in the Soldiers' Home in Leaven worth. "When in Kansas City he used to run a cigar wheel at the city hall square. Smith comes to Kansas City fre quently, and when here likes to go to a shooting gallery on Walnut street and shoot at the targets. He is a good shot and enjoys looking along a rifle barrel. Smith has the palsy in an alarming degree. When he raises the rifle and aims it at the target it jerks around in such a lively manner that one would wager he could not hit the side of a house. But just as he is about to pull the trigger his hand steadies and the next instant the bell rings. The palsied man has hit the bull's eye. Kansas City Star. Lawrence's Immortal Cry. "Don't give up the ship," the dying worHs of Commodore Lawrence, the heroic commander of the Chesapeake, are among the very noblest ever ut tered. They will live as long as ocean rolls or gallant ship floats. The gal lant Perry flew that signal at his masthead in the memorable battle of Lake Erie, at the glorious close of which he had the inspiration to pen that dispatch which has canonized him in our history: "We have met the enemy and they are ours." It was written on his stiff hat in lieu of a table, on the half of an old letter, and the additional information in it gave the size and number of the enemy, namely, "two ships, two brigs, one schooner and one sloop." Perry was a hero in peace as well as in war. During a fearful winter storm, while lying in the harbor of Newport, he heard that a merchant vessel had been driven on a reef six miles distant. He at once manned his barge and said to the crew: "Come, my boys, we are going to the relief of shipwrecked sea men; pull away." That act was ap plauded by the country almost as much as the' battle on Lake Erie. During the Mexican war General Scott re quested the loan of some guns from the fleet, to be used on shore. Perry complied, but on one condition that "wherever the guns go the officers and men must go also." Books on High Shelves. To put a book in a bookcase on a shelf over six feet from the ground means that you will have to climb for it.x With the common, close-shutting-up stepladder this - may mean only alight expenditure of labor, but the trouble the getting of the book may require is not the most serious one. One should never put a book up high if it has a nice binding, because, as the heat rises, the leather ol the book will dry up, rot, and perish. Gas light, which throws off its sulphureted hydrogen, and the ordinary kerosene lamp are mortal enemies of all bound books which stand on a high ahelf. Then, again, the finer particles of dust rise, lodge, and stick to the book. Nice gilding becomes obliterated. The mortal foe of a book is, then, a higb shelf, . . y Haymaking; in India. At Allahabad eight cuttings of grass ,are taken during the season, which begins early in the monsoon, and lasts, say, from the middle of June to the middle of March. From manured land the total weight varies from fif teen to forty tons per acre, according to the quality of the soil and the num ber of years which have elapsed since the manure was applied. The jhabau, a native hook which resembles a scythe blado, is preferred to the grass mower drawn by bullocks, as the clean cut of former is less injurious to the grass stubble than the clipping action of the latter, which reduces the number of cuttings from eight to two. On poor, unmanured land only one crop can be cut for hay In October. The haymaking season begins in the middle of September. It is im possible to make good hay before this time, for, even in periods when there is no rain, the ground is so wet that moisture is drawn up by the hay, which, quite independently of this circumstance, does not dry properly in the humid atmosphere. There are forty-eight good species of natural grasses, some of which are as valuable as any British grass, and frequent cutting develops a fine quality of pro duce. Blackwell's Magazine, The President's War Map, Not many of the President's visitors are admitted to the war room. Those who are thus favored see something novel in the way of war planning. A very large map has been prepared and mounted with a wooden back. It shows the Atlantio Ocean with the coasts of both sides and the islands between. The map covers that part of the ocean from the banks of New foundland to -the mouth of the Ama zon. When the measurements are given some idea can be formed of the scale. The length of the map is per haps eighteen feet and the width is ten feet. Little paper ships have been cnt with the names plainly printed. These ships, representing the two navies, are fastened in their places on the map with pins, and are moved from day to day to correspond with the movements of the ships. The President, the Secretaries of War and the Navy, Lieutenant-General Scho field and members of the War Council and Strategy Board have before them the exact positions of the navies up to the latest information as they discuss the plans from day to day. The whole game of war, so far as the At lantic is concerned, with the locations af the pawns, is before them. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A New Motor Carriage. A Frenchman has patented a very simple motor carriage, which has only two wheels and yet keeps its balance," the wheels being placed side by side on a downwardly curved axle with the weight of the machinery below the center, the usual gas engine being used to propel the carriage. SINGULAR STATEMENT. From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkham, The following letter to Mrs. Pink ham from Mrs. M. Bank, No. 2,354 East Susquehanna Ave., Philadelphia, Pa., is a remarkable statement of re lief from utter discouragement. She Bays: " I never can find words with which to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. M Some years ago I had womb trouble and doctored for a long time, not see ing any improvement. At times I would feel well enough, and other times was miserable. So it went on until last October, I felt something terrible creeping over me, I knew not what, but kept getting worse. I can hardly explain my feelings at that time. I was so depressed in spirits that I did not wish to live, although I had everything to live for. Had hys teria, was very nervous; could not sleep and was not safe to be left alone. " Indeed, I thought I would lose my mind. No one knows what I fendured. " 1 continued this way until the last of February, when I saw in a paper a testimonial of a lady whose case was similar to mine, and who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta. ble Compound. I determined to try it, and felt better after the first dose. I continued taking it, and to-day am a well woman, and can say from my heart, 'Thank God for such a medi cine.'" Mrs. Pinkham invites all suffering women to write to her at Lynn, Mass., for advice. All such letters are seen and answered by women only.
