m D ARP QUOTES PtTER, Barlow Philosopher klves Into Hi? Scripftres. SEEMS TO BE PERFECTLY AT HOME Was Too Early in the Morning to Gel Drunk Said the Prophzt ofO.d-Arj floralizss. "And in that day the young rrrn s'lall see visions ami the oW men shll ilri'ira dreams; and the handmaiden; shall prophesy." This is what Peer lo!d the people on the day of Penier: s'. And Peter believed that the days fore told by the Prophet Joel had already come, for the devout men from eve; nation under heaven were there propl ecying and speaking in every language. The people said they were drunk, b t Peter said. "No, for it is only 9 o'clock in the morning." I reckon the top :: 3 drank more in the evening. ju.-:t a; they do now, and went to bed dri nk. But it has always perplexed me to find out when the age or period of work i.g miracles and seeing visions ceased and why the power was taken aw;y from the men of God. Paul could work mir acles to save or to heal others, but had to die by the executioner. The blood Ot the martyrs was the seed of the church, but has the time passed whm dreams and visions are of no force r meaning? I was ruminating about dreams, because last night I dream d not less than theree hours in about h Ai a minute. The (lock was striking 12 and I dreamed it was the fire bell and I saw the rising smoke and then the flames of the fire where the hotel was burning. I saw firemen climbing lad ders and descending with women and children in their arms. 1 nj.v strmei? of water flooding the roof and pourirg in at the windows. 1 heard the excited Voices of firemen and people an 1 wit nessed the frantic efforts to ke p the fire from crossing to the next block. I saw enough and heard enough to take hours to recite and yet I awakened With the last stroke of the hammer on the little bell and knew th&t it was the clock and not the fire bell that had caused that long, exciting dream. This same experience 1 had many years ago when the report of a gun provoke! a dream that begun in a quarrel be tween two of my friends and continue! i:i a correspondence in which an apol ogy was demanded and I was ca;iel upon to assist in the writing and sev eral letters were passed, but to no pur pose and it ended in a challenge. Sec onds wore chosen the code duello was carefuliy consulted the grot.nl chosen the time fixed and the duel took place; and when the first shot was fired 1 awoke. The report of the gun had precipitated and concent:a'ed all of that long and anxious dream into a second or time. UOUOiiesa very m,.iiy people have had a similar experience. The medical books record many such instances and Lord Brougham declare! that all dreams were instantaneous. Drowning men have the same experi ence. Those who are resuscitated de clare that every event of their lives came before them in the instant of losing consciousness. Time is nothing. It seems to be annihilated. There is no tnotion of surprise. If your father or brother or friend appears to you in a ('r-am you are not surprised, though he has been dead many years. Put Lord Brougham is wrong. The smile of an infant sleeping in its mother's arms comes from a dream and is not instan taneous. Sometimes it continues quite a while and comes and goes. The moth er bcli :ves the child sees angels and heavenly things. Maybe it does, for o such is the kingdom of heaven. Lord Brougham is wrong, for men and women who have bad part of the skull removed and left the brain expose! have dreamed while the doctors looked on and saw the brain dilate and pulsate and b :ome excited and disturbed and the patient would tell of a bad dream. When the sleep was sweet the brain was in perfect repose. What a wonderful piece of mechan ism is this body of ours. It can all s'esp save the heart and lungs and arteries. '1 hey never sleep nor get a clay off ior vest." Just think of it. For 75 years this hpart of mine has not failed to beat time for every moment of my existence and sends its warm blood to every pait of my body. Whether I am awake or asleep, it is ever at its post of duty Poor thing I know it is tired. And so with my lungs that cease not day or night, to bring the heart its food, its strength and power. The will, the brain, the eyes and ears the sense of smell and taste and feeling all get sleep and rest awake renewed, but the heart and lungs can never rest. Their rest is death. But the mystery is how is the brain connected with the will. When the will is asleep the brain srems to run riot and to reveal in curious and fantastic fancies. It is a boy out of school. It is very like the effect of opi um on the senses and described by De Quincy in bis confessions. Th" will seems to be the strongest and most r. -sponsible faculty of man. The heart is commonly called the seat of the af fections and emotions in fact, the very soul of man. and David says the heart is sinful above all things ana desperately wicked, but that, of course, is figurative. The heart is but a lump of flesh a machine an engine, as it v"re. for a mechanical purpose. It has nothing to do with affections or ( mo lions or sins or crime. It may be badly diseased and the man not know it. If his stomach is out of order, h? "enow it quickly and feels sick all ever, i he will, and the brain, which is the sea of thought and reason, make up t N spiritual part of man, but how they : re connected is known only to the Cre -tor, generally they work in harmony Someetimes they do not. for, as Pau says, "that I would do I do net aac that I would not do that I da." A friend asked me the other day if believed in dreams; that is to sty, it dreams as a warning, or sirn. o pr p'n eev. No. I do not. The dream bio.: is humbug. But I do believe that some times there are spiritual visions tai ! come in sleep, but thes- are v?ry rare Some are too well authenticated tc leave any doubt. Swedenborg had manj of them. Tartinian. a great composer says that the devil appetred to him on night and challenged him to play hi some music, and he composer th--Devil's Sonata" in a dream, aad ?hc devil sang it and danced it. an 1 Ta v. i ian put it on paper when he awaked Soleridge says he compos I h a pocrr of "Kubla Khan" in a dream, but co 1 only recall 300 lines of it tiaxt u orn iug! Abstruse problems in mathemat i Save been solved in dreams, but ths most reasonable explanation cf all these is that the tired mind had rest from sleep and became more sensitive and acute. Whether we" have gxd dreams or bad dreams depends almost altogtcher upon what we had for sup per and how much we ate of it. The stamach is the great regulator of our repose, whether it be peaceful and re freshing or disturbed by unwelcome dreams. Children dream a good deal and have nightmare, but old mea dream seldom, for they are more cxie ful what they eat for supper. Black berry pie washed down with buttermilk don't harmonize. But when the brain gets old It is tired and takes more rest. It can't jump around and frolic in dreams like it did when we we: e young. This is enough of dreams. In fact, it is about all I know. I have been greatly comforted of late with some more good leading. Col. A. K. McClure. the notabe editor and writer, has written a letter to The Times-Democrat, of New Orleans hi3 recollections and opinions of Lincoln and Davis. It is a long letter, carefui'y and admirably written. It is fair and just to both the presidents. It place3 Mr. Davis on a higher plane than any northern writer ha3 ever done, and I wish that every leading paper north and south would copy it. It settles that whole controversy about the Hampn Roads conference and leaves no rcom for doubt. Colonel McClure is a ju?t man and deserves the thanks of t'e south for his beautiful tribute to our president. Bill Arp in Atlanta Constitution. NEWSY CLEANINGS.

SIN INJGHPLACES DR. TALMAGE'S SUNDAY SERMON. The Same Standard of Morality That fleasures the Poor and the Lowly Ought to Be Applied to tt.e Rich. I Copyright 1901.1 Y ASHINCTON, D. C In this disvarsa. Dr Talmage show that there is a ten dency to excuse brilliant faults, because they are brilliant, when the same law of right and wrong ought to be app.ied to high places and low; test, Daniel iv, 33, "The .une hour wai the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar, and he was driven from men and did cat grass as oxen Here is the mightiest of the Jiabylortish kings Look at him. He did more for the grandeur of the capital than did all his predecessors or successors. Hanging gar dens, reservoir, aqueducts, palaces, alt of his own planning. The bricks that are brought up to-day from the rums of Bf ny lon have his none on them, "Nebucnad nczzar on of Nabopolassor, king of Baby lon." ' He was a great conqueror. He stretched forth ins spear toward a nation, and it surrendered. Put be plundered the temple of the true God. He lifted an idol. Pel Merodach, and compelled the people to bow down before it, and if they refused they must go through tiie redhot furnace or tie crunched by lion or lioness, fco Cod pulled him down. He was smitten with what physicians rail lycanthropy, and fancied that he was a wild beast, and he went out and pas tured amid the cattle. Cod did not ex cuse him because he had committed the sin in hieh olaces or because the trans gression was wide rosounding. He meas ured Nebuchadnezzar in high place just as he would measure the humblest captive. But in our tune, you know as well as L that there is a disposition to put a halo around iniquity it it is committed in con spicuous places, and if it is wide resound ing and of large proportions. Ever and anon there has been an epidemic of crime in high places, and there is not a State or a city and hardly a village which has not been called to look upon astounding forg ery, or an absconding bank ashier or president, or the wasting of trust fund or swindling mortgages. I propose, in carry ing out the suggestion of my text, as far as I can, to scatter the fascinations around iniquity and show you that sin is sin mid wrong is wrong, whether in high place or low place, and that it will hi deait with by that tod who dealt with unpalaced Nebuchadnezzar. All who preach feel that two kinds of pennons are necessary the one cm t lie faith of the gospel, the other oa the mo-1 rality of the gospel and the one is just a important as the other, for you know that in till-; land to-day there are hundreds o? men hiding behind the communion tables and in churches of .le.sus Christ who hav.j no business to be there as professors of rc-J ligion. They expect to be all right with Cod, although they are ail wrong with loan. And, while I want you to under-f Stand that by t lie deeds of the law not flesh living can be justified and a mere honest life cannot enter us into heaven J 1 want you as plainlj to understand that unless tiie life is right the heart is not right -grace in the heart and grace in the, life. So wc must preach sometimes tin faith of the gospel and sometimes the inc rality of the gospel. It seems to me there has not been a' time in the last fifty years when this latteit truth needed more thoroughly to be pre sented in the American churches. It needs. to be presented to-day. Look upon all the fascinations thrown around fraud in this country. You know for years men have been made heroes of and pictorialized and in various ways pre sented to the public, as though sometimes1 they were worthy of admiration, if they have scattered the funds of banks or swallowed great estates that did not be long to them. Our young men have been dazed with this quick accumulation. They have said: "That's the way to do it. What's the use of plodding on with small wages or insignificant salary when we may go into business life and with some stratagem achieve such a fortune as that man has achieved?" A different measure has been applied to the crime of Wall street from that which has been applied to the spoils v. hich the man carries up Rat alley. So a peddler came down from New Eng land many years ago, took hold of the money market of New York, flaunted his abominations in the sight of all the peo ple and defied public morals every day of his life. Young men looked up and said: "He was a peddler in one decade, and in the next decade he is one of the mon archs of the stock market. That's the way to do it." To this day the evil influ ence of that profligate financier has been felt, and within the past few weeks he has had conspicuous imitators. There has been an irresistible impres sion going abroad among young men that the poorest way to get money is to earn it. The young man of flaunting cravat savs to the young man of humble apparel: "What! You only get 31800 a year? Why, that wouldn't keep me in pin money. I spend $5000 a vear." "Where do you get it?" asks the plain young man. "On, stocks, enterprises, all that sort of thing, you know." The plain young man has hardly enough money to pay his board, has to wear clothes after they are out of fashion and deny himself all "luxu ries. After awhile he nets tired of his plodding, and he goes to the man who has achieved suddenly large estate, and he says. "Just show me how it is done." And he is shown. He soon learns how, al though he is almost all the time idle now and has resigned his position in the bank or the factory or the store be ha t m ore- money than he ever had. trades off his old silver watch for a gold one with a flashing chain, sets his hat a little further over on the side of his head than he ever did, smokes better cigars and more of them. He has his hand in. Now, if he can es cape the penitentiary for three or four years he will get. into political circles, and lie will get political jobs and will have something to do with harbors and pave ments and docks. Now he has got so far a.ong he is sine for perdition. It is quite a long road sometimes for a man to travel before he gets into the ro mance of crime. Those are caught who are only in the prosaic stage of it. If the sheriffs and constables would onlv leave tnem alone a little while they would steal as well as anybody. Thev might not be ah,p to steal whole railroad, but thev could master a load of pio- iron Now I always thank God when I find an estate like that go to smash. It is plague struck and it blasts the nation. I thar.'--Ciod w hen it goes into such a wreck it can never be gathered up again. I want it to become so loathsome and such an insuf ferable stench that honest voung men will take warning. If Cod should put into money or its representative the capacity to go to its lawful owner, there would'not be a bank or a safety deposit in the United States whose wahs would not be blown out. and mortgages would rip and parchments would rend, and gold would shoot, and beggars would get on horseback, and stock gamb lers would go to the almshouse. How many dishonesties in the making out of invoice-, and in the plastering of faise labels, and in the filching of custom ers of rival houses, and in the making and breaking of contracts. Young men are in doctrinated in the idea that the sooner they get money the better, and the get ting of it on a larger scale only proves to tnem their greater ingenuity. There is a "litter thrown around all these things Young men have got to find out that Cod looks upon sin i:i a very different light. And remember that the man who gets his gain by iniquity will soon loe it "'l One moment after his departure from life he wiil not own an opera house, he will not own a certificate of stock, he will not own one dollar of Covernment securities, and the poorest, boy that stands on the street with a penny in his pocket looking at the funeral procession of the dead cheat as it goes by will have more money than that man who one week previous boasted that he controlled the money market. So there has been a great deal of fasci nation thrown around libertinism. So ciety is very severe upon the impurity that lurks around the alleys and low haunts of the town. Tiie law pursues it. smites it, incarcerates it. tries to destroy it. You know as well as I that society he roines lenient in proportion as impurity becomes arliuer.t or is in elevated circles, and finally society is silent or disposed to paliiate. Where is the judge, the jury, the police officer that dare arraign the wealthy liber tine? He walks the streets; he rides the parks; he flaunts his iniquity in the eye? of the pure. Sometimes it seems to me as if society were going back to the stat of morals of HercuTaneum, when it sculptured its vile ness on pillars and temple wall and noth ing but the lava of a burning mountain could hide the immensity of crime. At what time God will rise up and extirpate these evils upon society I know not nor whether He will do it by fire or hurricane or earthouake, but a holy Cod, I do not think, will stand it much longer. I be lieve the thunderbolts are hissing hot, and that when Cod comes to chastise the community for these sins, against which He has uttered Himself more Bitterly than against any other, the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah will be tolerable as compared with the fate of our modern society, which knew better, but did worse. We want about 10,000 pulpit3 in Amer ica to thunder. "All adulterers and whore mongers shall have their place in the hell that burneth with fire and briimtone, which is the second death." It is bell on earth and hell forever. We have got ta understand that iniquity on Columbia Heights or Fifth avenue or Beacon Hill is as damnable in the sight of God as it is in the slums. Whether it has canopied couch or eider down or dwells amid the putridity of a low tenement house, God is after it in His , vengeance. Yet the pulpit of the Chris l tian church has been so cowed down on this subject that it hardly dares speak, and men are almost apologetic wiien they read the Ten Commandments. Then look at the fascinations thrown around assassination. There are in all communities men who have taken the lives of others unlawfully, not as execu tioners of the law, and they go scot free. You say that th?y had tbsir provocations. God gave life, and H? alone has a riirht to take it, and He may take it by visita tion of Providence or by an executioner of the law, who is His messenger. But when a man assumes that divine preroga tive he touches the lov.'est depth of crime. Society is alert for certain kinds of mur der. If a citizen olng a'ong the ror.d at night is waylaid and slain by a robber, we all want the villain arrested and exe cuted. For all garroting, for all beating out of life by a club or an axe or a slung shot. the law has quick spring and heavy stroke, but you know that wdicn men get affluent and high position and they avenge their wrongs by taking the lives of others L'reat svmnathv is excited. Lawyers nlead. i ladies weep, judge halts, jury is bribed, and the man goes lree. if the verdict happen to be against him a new trial is called on through some technicality, and they adjourn for witnesses that never come and adjourn and adjourn until tiie community has forgotten all about it. and then the prison door opens and the mur derer goes free. Now, if capital punishment be right I say let the life of the polished murderer go with the life of the vulgar assassin. Let us have no partiality of gallows, no aristocracy of electrocution chair. Do not let us float back to barbarism, when every man was his own judge, jury and executioner, and that man had- the su premacy who had the sharpest knife and the strongest arm and the quickest step and the stealthiest revenge, lie who wil fully and in hatred takes the life of an other is a murderer, I care not what the provocation or the circumstances. He may be cleared by an enthusiastic courtroom, he may be sent by the Gov ernment of ibo United States as Minister to home foreign court or modern literature may polish tne crime until it looks like heroism, but in the sight of God murder is murder, and the judgment day will so reveal it. Now, do not be fascinated by the gla mor thrown over crime of whatever sort. Because others have habits that seem bril liant, but yet at the same time are wicked, do not choose such faults. Stand inde pendent of all such influences, i'ut your confidence in the Lord God. He will be your strength. "Vengeance is mine. I will repay, saith the Lord." Cultivate old fashioned honesty. This book is full of it. Old fashioned honesty such as was spoken of by Dr. Livingstone, the famous explorer. You may not know he was descended from the Highlanders. Dr. Livingstone said that one clay one ot the old Highlanders called his children around him and said: "Now, my lads, 1 have looked all through our family line. I have gone back as tar as I can, and I find that all our ancestors were honest people. There doesn't seem to be one rogue among them, and you have good blood. Now, my lads, be honest." There are hundreds of young men who have good blood. Shall I ask three or four plain questions? Are your habits as goocl its when you left your father's house? Have you a good ticket in your pocket? Have you a fraudulent document? Have you been experimenting to see how accur ate an imitation you could make of your employer's signature? Oh, you have good blood. Remember your father's prayers. Kemember your mother's example. Turn not in an evil way. Have you been going astray? Come back. Have you ventured out too far? As I stand in pulpits looking over au diences sometimes my heart fails me. There are so many tragedies present, so many who have sacrificed their integrity, so many tar away from God. Why, my brother, there have been too many prayers offered for you to have you go overboard. And there are those venturing clown into sin, and my heart aches to call them back. At Brighton Beach or Long Branch you have seen men no down into the surf to bathe, and they waded out farther and farther, and you got anxious about them. You said, "I wonder if they can swim?" And you then stood and shouted: "Come back! Come back! You will be drowned!" They waved their hand back, saying: "No danger." They kept on wading deep er down and farther out from shore until after awhile a great wave with a strong undertow took them out. their corpses the next day washed on the beach. So I see men wading down into sin farther and farther, and I call to them: "Come back! Come back! You will be lost; you will be lo t!" They wave their hand back, say-iuj- "No danger; no danger!" Deeper clown and deeper down until alter awhile a wave sweeps them out and sweeps them off forever. Oh, come back! The one farthest away may come. "Oh," you sa "you don't know where I came from. You don't know what my history has been. You don't know what iniquity I have plotted. I have gone through the whole catalogue of sin." My brother, I do not know the story, but I tell you this: The door of mercy is wide open. "Though your sins be as scarlet, t.iey shall be as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." 1 hough you have been polluted with the worst ot crimes, though you have been smitten with the worst of leprosies, though you have been tired with all evil passions, tills moment on your brow, hot with in i qu'touj indulgences, may be set the flash ing coronet of a Saviour's forgiveness. RAMS' HORN BLASTS T WO fools' heads are worse thsn one. Every conver sion is a miracle. Simplicity is the sign of serious ness. Friends are nt good kept in vine gar. Emulation is a cure for envy. The giving hand is the only cure for the grasping heart. The danger of ambition's paibs lies not in that they are steep but that they are slippery. The man who is keenest on too in spection of his neighbors is usua.ly weak on introspection. The herat of love is the only ler,83 that will bring God within the focu9 of our facilities. We are almost inclined to a?ree with those who deny the soul if they speak for themseivas alone. The man who cannot get wisdom out of his own follies will get nothing but folly oat of all wisdom. There is one habit worse than walk ing with your hands in your poeke'.s, that is, keeping your heart there. They who plan to give God taeir last days only conteplate an insult they ae never permitted to perpetrate. According to the measure of the weeping saint heaven must be a very wicked place, for there are no tears them A Feculior Industry. As as instance of peculiar industrial occupations, it is said that dealers in second-hand bread have a pretty good trade all the year round In London. They collect fragments of bread from the restaurants and dust heaps, which tr ey carefully sort into .irst and sec ond quality. The former, being com paratively clean, is baked and then cut into dice for soup and made into rasp ings, which are bought up by the cook shops for garnishing. The second quality bread is eo!3 for food for poul try and other domestic animal. oooooooooooooeoooocoooooo a I FARM TOPICS 1 D C 33O00OCCOOC0C0000COC0COCCC Protection From File. As flies will now annoy stock, all cracks In th stables should be closed and mosquito bars or mesh placed at the windows and doors. The rows will give more milk if thus protected and the horses be in better eonditioo for service. Remove all manure promptly and keep the stables clean. Keeping the Weed Down. But few -weeds are found on well cultivated farms, for the reason that if they are kept down and not allowed to produce seed they must consequent ly decrease in number until the farm is clear of tbem. Jood farming ex terminates weeds, and when they are pecn on a farm it is evidence that the owner has not done his best to de stroy them in the past. Setting Hens In Warm Weather. Place a large coop ovr the nest, put plenty of dust and water in the coop and in warm weather allow the hen to dust and drink as often as she likes, but do not let her get out of the coop and leave the nest entirely. Wbere fifteen to twenty-five bens are set it is advisable to build a number of pens of wire netting. My pens are arranged as follows: Build two straight fences of wire netting fifty yards long, two yards apart, whic h makes a long lane. This lane is di vided into twenty -five pens and 'n each pen one hen is set. A door is made to each pen and once a day all the hens are fed and watered. Dust Is provided and the bens give little trouble. Orange Judd Farmer. Growing Seed Grain, We believe it would be profitable to every grain grocer to carefully select by a sieve, or in some other way, enough of his largest and plumpest kernels to sow on a strip of his best soil to grow as much seed as he ex pects to use another season. Save the product for that purpose, and the next year select the best of that in the same manner, and continue to do ro as long as it was found that the se lected seed gave better results than the other. Some experiments that have been made in this way indicate that the average of the entire crop was nearly doubled by about five years' practice of this method, and even then the average was far behind that where the selected seed was sown. Amer ican Cultivator. Grain Itust. The red rust which often appears on rye and wheat is the same that ap pears earlier in the season upon the leaves of the barberry bush. We have heard it both asserted and denied that the same rust attacks the oat, but never were able to trace the rust on oats to the direct vicinity of the bar berry, as Ave have that which ap peared on rye. But where these grains are grown we advise cutting and burning of all the barberry bushes near the field. In some parts of Eng land they have very strict laAvs, oblig ing this to be done. There are proba bly some other plants upon which this rust can be found, as it is sometimes found on grain when there 's not a barberry bush for miles, but where they are it rlways starts on them be fore it does cn the grain. About the time the grain begins to harden this turns to a black rust, which is only an advanced form ot the same disease. It does not hurt the kernel of the grain, unless to cause it to shrink if it comes very early. A Safe Farm Bridge. Where streams or ravines on the farm must be crossed by teams, it pays to build substantial bridges; for the other kind are of short life and are PLAN FOR A SUBSTANTIAL BRIDGE. a constant menace to the safety of both team and driver. Some bridges are so short that three stout "sleepers" can be thrown across, having sup ports only at the ends, but where the bridges must be louger a support in the middle is imperative, and for this purpose the truss arrangement shown in the accompanying diagram cannot be improved. Such a bridge cannot well break down so long as the end foundations remain in place. The iron rods and bolts show plainly the method of construction, and the man ner in which support for the centre is gained. A centre support that is placed beneath the bridge is constant ly working loose by the action of frost and by the weight of heavy loads, a criticism that cannot be applied to the form of bridge shown here. New York Tribune. One Year's Experience With Turlteys. Taking the year of my best luck I had six hen turkeys. The first laid eggs were given to hens and eggs from the second clutch to hen turkeys. The mothers were put in coops which, as a rule, were moved daily. The first food given the turks was boiled eggs and curd. After a few days they were given dough from preventler of corn and buckwheat, equal parts, wet with sour milk. Eggs were put in the feed and sometimes a little black pepper. When large enough they had a supply of cracked corn, buckwheat and scorched wheat, also meat scraps and ground bone or fine shells. The feeding of dough minus egg was continued twice a day until the red began to appear. They were provided with pure water and road dust was given them for wallows. The mothers were released when the young were able to fly on the roost, but were not allowed to roam far. At Thanksgiv ing I had lOt; young turkej-s, of which fifty or more were ready for market, and the remainder at Christmas. The uext year I kept one or two more turkeys and raised ninety-four by the same plan. In the year following I set out to beat my record by keeping nine hen turkeys. I hatched about 230, but foxes nearly ruined my flock and I raised less than sixry. In fattening I use corn meal wet with milk and whole exirn, sometimes putting boiled potatoes with the meal and a little ;uiverized charcoal. I would recommend sprinkling lime about the n osts and feeding places. With foxes, hawks and other enemies, together with diseases which may at tack ther?. tj guard against, the price of success in inrkey raising is eter nal vigilance. R. E.
