Sometimes in our modern barns the water is

Again, the Oosjiel well.llike the one spoken
of in my text, is a well- at the gate. The
traveler stojs the camel to day, 7 and gets
down and dips out of th-. valley of the East,
some very 1-e uitiful, cleaf, bright water, ami
that is out of the very w.-pl that liavid longed
for. lo you know that that well was at
the gate, so that nolxfdy could go into
Bethlehem without going right past it? And
so it is with this (bxspel well it is at the gate.
It is, in the first p!ace, ati thegat?of punlica
tion. We cannot wash avvay our sins unless
with that water. I taj;e the responsibility
of saying that there isjno man, woman, or
child in this hjus- to-day that
has escaped sinful defilement. Do you
say it is outrageous and ungallant
for me to make such ja charge ? Io you
say: "I have never stolen I have never
blasphemed I have never committed Un

to pl-at " not guilty" to the indictment, then
fhe hosts of heaven will be empaue!e l as a

us; guilty one, guilty all. With what a slash
ing strode that one passage cuts us away
from nil our pretensions. "There is none
that dixdh good no, not one."' "Oh,;' savs
wuiio one, "all we want, all the race wants,
is development." Now I want to tell you
that the race develops without the Gospel into

could not be found. They started out in

there were hundreds of "men hunting the
mountains for those three children but
found them not. After a while a man imagined
there was a place that had not lieoii looked at,
and he went and saw the three children. He
examined their bodies. He found that the

and wrapped it around the younger one, the
baby, and then taken off his vest and put it

Penalties for Remaining Unmarried.
A Spartan law forbade marriage until
men and women arrived at their full
strength, and there was an Athenian
regulation that inert should not marry
until they were thirty-five. The Atheni
ans at the same time favored married men,
giving them the preference when vacan
cies occurred in official life. The Romans
did the same. They would help a mar
ried man so far that if he had not readied
the age limit assigned for the position
as many of the years were dispensed with
as lie had children. These favors did
not altogether succeed as a marriage
bait. The young men of the empire had
at one time, in fact, to be forced as weli
bribed into marriage, the censors going
tfoing so far as to insist on all the bache
lors pledging themselves on oatl. to
marry within a given time. Penalties
were in additionlaid on 'celibacy, and
these and other disabilities on
the single men were not removed until
the time of C'onstantine. Taxes on
bachelors have been imposed by many
nations, including oar own; but no more
remarkable law on the subject-was ever
passed than that by the local authorities
of Kastham, Massachusetts, in 161b". In
that year these functionaries ' passed a
law to the effect that every unmarried
man should kill mv. blackbirds or three
crows yea;ly while he remained single,
and that as a penalty for disobeying the
order lie should not get morriedj" and no
one should marry him until he had de
st roved the number of birds he was in
arrears.

Some Acconnt of the Work Dm
at t lie 3Ist Important Sta
tionsA Fish for Farmers-
Vou ng Codfls!u
A letter from Wool's Holl, on Cape
C'rxl. )ia., to the New York Ji nrn says:
It is generally unlcrstoo tint the l'nitcl
States wa? the first of any country to be-
. -
United States (Jovcrmnent has something-
like a dozen or more stations, but thai
at Wood's Holl. on CajieCod, is cnsii
ered the most important of them all. It
was the individual States, not the ZV'a
tional (Jovernment, that first beg-an the
work, and Massachusetts took the lead,
and it wa? not until 1S71 that the General
Government yichlcd to the ilea of fish
culture, and in that year the I'nited
States Commiss.'on of Fisheries was es
tablished by act of Congress. The Gov
ernment has erected at much expense
large and commodious quarters at Wood's
Holl.
There arc now I7 States and Territo
ries that have fish commissions of thcii
j ?
own, and it has been proved that Inert
is now one kind of fish the farmer may
have fresh all the year round, except in
spawning seasons. That fish is the Ger
man carp, and was introduced first intc
this country in large quantities by the
commission after the do c of the Berlin
Fish Exposition. At that great show
the United States took first prize, a cost y
cup, presented to Prof. IJaird by thf
Emperor of Gcim my. When the com
mission begun active operations in this
line it had no boat of its own, not ever
one of the ratboats which are now sc
common: but soou a little sailing sloop
was hired, and as the work increased a
small fctearuer wa; chartered, and then
another was borrowed from the Navj
Department. At the present time the
commission has four steamers and t
number of schooners of its own.
The schoouer Grampus, which is often
seen coming into this harbor under ful
sail, is a handsome and fast sailing craft.
She was designed by a veteran fisherman
of Gloucester, Capr. Collins. He thought
a 'mackerel schooner could be built,
combining the fleefness of the American
boats ami the stanchr.ess of theEnirlist
craft, and after visiting foreign countrie;
with careful research and diligent study,
returned home. The result of his visi;
was the immediate construction of. th
Grampus, of bO tons burden. She ha:
run ahead of anything yet encountered,
but lias had very little experience ir
rough weather. Her draught i3 11 fee
three feet more than that of the ordi
nary schooner.
On the Gampus h a tank, reached lc,
an opening in thb deck. Into this wi
put the fish taken by the crew in scinei
from the Georges or wherever the spawn
ing bounels are. If the eggs contained
on the female fish are ripe, they an
stripped by the attendants; the righl
time for such werk is when the cgjjs cai
be readily squeezed out. This period
lasts about a week, anel, naturally, con,
siderablc skill is required to know just
when to perform this operation. Tin
eggs are caught in a basin, the milt o
the male is poured over them and thej
become fertilized. After they are ebr;
veloped enough they are put into glas!
jars, which in turn are put into hatching
boxes; these jars have cloths over the
mouths to strain the water and keep tht
fish in,' for the ;ars are united. Here th
fish grow anel thrive in the water con i
slantly changing by means of syphons
Whenever the lish arc large enough thei

birds, always return to their birthp'aee
It woulel hardly be fair to put them it
the waters here, for Vineyard Soune
fishing would be enormous and fishermei
elsewhere would not be justly treated.
The commission here has sent fish ti
the Gulf of Mexico anil to almost even
part of the Atlantic coat, the chie
kinds being cod, carp, shad, whitefish
salmon, and mackerel. As a genera
thing, man cannot do the work of nature

Onions for Sleeplessness.
People troubled with insomnia should
trv an onion. Take one of the hi"- Por
tuguese onions that are now to abundant
on the fruit stands. Slie e it and put one
of the slices in a saucer of vinegar, salt
and pepper. Then gently lay it in be
tween two thinly cut pieces of buttered
bread or a couple of fresh aoela or Ta
ham crackers. It is a wry. palatable
sandwich. Two of these are not too
much at a late lunch. Onions are very
healthy and toothsome, but people don't
care to indulge in them because of the
hureulean flavor that lingers on the
breath. But if a nervous, person after
eating one at night finds that it brings
him neeeled sleep he'll not mind the
cause oi" complaint his friends may have.
Come to consider, one onion i-; a good
leleal, especially when it weighs two
pounds, anel the two-pounders are not so
scarce as one might imagine. The aver
age size is half a pound. These big
Portuguese and Spanish bulks are hardly
fit for cooking. The Bermuelas are the
one's for that, but in the line of sind
wiehes the Portuguese onion discounts
all the others, soothes th'j rebellious
nerves anel conjures sweetest dreams.

Sheep Dairying.
A Holland paper states that the pro
duction of sheep butter nnd milk is
becoming quite an industry in that coun
try. It says that in the eastern part of
the province of Drenthe (Netherlandsi
many Fiiesian milch sheep are kept,
principally by small farmers and day
laborers. Of late butter has been ma le
from the milk of these sheep, which is
said to be always of a whiter color than
that marie from cow's milk, is of good
flavor, but has a sweeter taste. This
butter is not sold on the market as yet,
but if a little good butter color is mixed
with it, it will be preferred, and that
quite soor, to much of the butter made
from cow's milk by the dairymen of
Drenthe.
A well has been eliscovcreel in Mobile,
Ada., which sprouts forth sparkling
water heavily chargcel with carbonic
iciel gas. When the water is sweetened
with syrup it is saitl to make a delectable
beverage not unlike soeia water.
