P. has cured my difficulty of breathing, smother ins, palpitation of tho heart, and has relieved me of all pain. One nostril was closed for ten years, but now I can breathe through it readily. I have not slept on either side for two years; in fact, I dreaded to see night come. Now I sleep soundly in any position all night. I am 50 years old, but expect soon to be able to take hold of the plow handles. I feel glad that I was lucky enough to get P. P. P., and I heartily recommend if to my friends and the public generally. - Yours respectfully, A. M. RAMSEY. The State of Texas, I , .

This week has been another remarkably quiet one in the cot ton market and has not fulfilled the indi cations of activity that were so promising last Saturday. The most encouraging feature has been the good export demand in this market, which has acted as a pillar of strength to prices. The steady selling by Europe and the south of the fall and winter months has continued and has been a stumbling block in the way of any advance. Today the market de clined chiefly as a result of this selling. The Liverpool market was a little higher, and the opening here was also better an the near positons. But when the late months were reached on the call,' all the houses with foreign connections seemed to have orders to sell them and as buyers were scarce, they opened from 3 to 5 points , down. The agricultural bureau's estimate of this year's yield of 8,534.870 was announced at 11 o'clock, but failed to arouse any interest or to have, any effect upon the market. Our advances from the south indicate anything but a favorable planting outlook thus far, but the season is yfet in Its infancy and southern opera tors appear to be eager to sell any of the next crop months upon the slightest ad vance, and if no advance be forthcoming, they are quite ready, it seems, to sell them at concessions. As an indication of calculated to in'sDire confidence. The -grossing of the Turkish frontier by some trregular Grecian soldiers caused very lit tie uneasiness. We can see nothing in the developments up to this- time that warrants modification of our bullish views. The advance may and probably will be a reluctant one, but we regard it none the less likely for that reason. RIORDAN & CO. (By Associated Press.) New York, April 10. The cotton market closed at a net decline of 2 to 7 poirrfs. after opening at an advance of 1 to 2 points on near months and a decline of 1 to 3 points on late months. The market weakened immediately after the first call and closed at the lowest point.' The weak ness was partly acounted for by fears of political trouble in the Levant. This led to some liquidation in connection with the decline in British consols and a belief that the disaster reports from the lower Mis sissippi valley may have been more largely exaggerated than generally sup posed. Trading was in good part for LiVr erpool and continental accounts, with the orders for selling out quite, numerous. j New York Stock Market. 1 New York, April 10. There was quite a marked undertone of firmness on the stock exchange today, but the market felt the reflected depression of the Lon don' market on account of the outbreak of hostilities on the Greek-Turkish fron tier. The opening was at a somewhat higher range than the current prices at London, and there were sales for foreign account of the international shares. The prices of these were brought down to the London level soon after the opening. The conditon of business in the stock market is closely parallel to that which prevailed previous to the announcement of the Lake Shore refunding operations early in March, and the notable buying of railroad stocks which followed. Transactions in bonds- were largely contracted and the market displayed little feature. Values generally moved. Jn sympathy with the share speculation and Operations were mainly in the speculative issues. Com parative prices .are mainly below last week's final prices, but, the recessions are trifling.

DR. TALMAGB ON NEHEMIAH'S RIDE IN WRECKED JERUSALEM The Enchantment of the Moonlight mnd Nehemlah'B Resolve Love of the Church of God Ruin . aod Redemption '1 he Great Good That Cornea From Trouble. From the weird and midnight experi ences of one of ancient times Dr.Talmage in his sermon draws lessons startlingly appropriate. His text was Nehemiah ii, 15, "Then went I up in the night by the brook and viewed the wall and turned back and entered by the gate of the valley and so returned." A dead city is more suggestive than a living city past Rome than present Home ruins rather than newly frescoed cathe dral. But the best time to visit a ruin is I by moonlight. The Coliseum is far more fascinating to the traveler after sundown than before. You may stand by daylight amid the monastic ruins of Melrose abbey and study shafted oriel arid resetted stone and mullion, but they throw their strong est witchery by moonlight. Some of you remember what the enchanter of Scotland said In the "Lay of the Last Minstrel:" Wouldst thou view fair Melrose aright, Go visit it by the pale moonlight, "Washington Irving describes the Anda lusian moonlight upon the Alhambra ruins as amounting' to an enchantment. My text presents yOu Jerusalem in ruins. The tower down. The gates down. The walls down. Everything down. Nehemiah on horseback by moonlight -looking upon the ruins. While he rides there are some friends on foot going with him.' for , they do not want the many horses to disturb the suspicions of the people. These people do not know the secret of Nehemiah's heart, but they are going as a sort of bodyguard. I hear the' clicking hoofs of the horse on which Nehemiah rides as he guides It this way and that, into this gate and out of that, winding through that gate amid the debris of once great Jerusalem. - (REBUILDING THE CITY. .Now the horse comes to dead halt at the tumbled masonry where he cannot pass. Now he shies off at the charred timbers. Now he comes along where the water un der the moonlight flashes from the mouth of the brazen dragon after which the gate was named. Heavy hearted Nehemiah! Riding in and out,- now by his old home desolated, now by the defaced temple, now amid the sears of the city that had gone down under battering ram and conflagra tion. The escorting party knows not what Nehemiah means. Is he getting crazy? Have his own personal sorrows, added to the sorrows of the nation, unbalanced his intellect? Still the midnight exploration goes on. Nehemiah on horseback rides through the fish gate, by the tower of the furnaces, by the king's pool, by the drag on well, in and out, in and out, until the midnight ride is completed, and Nehemiah dismounts from his horse, and to the amazed and confounded and incredulous bodyguard declares the dead secret of his heart when he says, "Come, now, let. us build Jerusalem." "What, Nehemiah, have you any money?" "No." "Have you any kingly authority? No.". "Have you any eloquence?" "No." Yet that mid night, moonlight ride of -Nehemiah result ed in the glorious rebuilding of the city of Jerusalem .The people knew not how the thing was to be done, but with great enthusiasm they cried out, "Let us rise up now and build the city." Some people laughed and said it could not be done. Some people were infuriated and offered physical violence, saying the thing should not be done. But the workmen -went right on, standing on the wall, trowel in one hand, sword in the other, until the work was gloriously completed. At that very time in Greece Xenophon was writrig a history, and Plato was making philosophy and Demosthenes was rattling hjs rntjf orical thunder. But all of them together did not do so much for the world as this midnight, moonlight ride of praying, cour ageous, homesick, close mouthed Nehe miah. LOVE OF THE CHURCH. My subject first impresses me with the idea, what an intense thing is church af fection. Seize the bridle of that horse and stop Nehemiah. Why are you risking your life here in the night? Your horse will stumble over .these ruins and fall on you. Stop this useless exposure of your life. No. Nehemiah will not stop. , He at last tells us the whole Story. He lets us know he was an exile in a far distant land, and he was a servant, a cupbearer in the pal ace of Artaxerxes Longimanus, and one day.-, while he was handing the cup of wine to the king the king said to him: "What is the matter with you? You are not sick.. I know you must have some great trouble. What is the matter with you? .Then he told the king how that be loved Jerusalem was broken down: how that his father's tomb had been dese-1 crated; how that the temple had been dis honored and defaced; how that the walls were scattered and broken. "Well," says King Artaxerxes, "what do you want?" "Well," said the cupbearer Nehemiah, "I want. to go home. I want to fix np the grave of my father. I want to restore the beauty of the temple. I want to re build the masonry of the city wall. Be sides I want passports so that I shall hot be hindered in my journey. And feaidiS that," as you w) find; u tna' context, " want an order on the man who keeps your forest for Just so much timber as I may nfeed for the rebuilding of the city." "How long shall you be gone?" said the king. The time of absence is arranged. In hot haste this seemine adventurer 'comes to Jerusalem, and in my test we find him on horseback ia the midnight riding around the ruins. It is through the spectacles of this scene that we dis cover the ardept attachment of Nehemiah for sacred Jerusalem, which in all ajriji has been the type of the ch,ur. t,U of God, our Jerusalem, whiwit we" ' love Just as much as Nehemiah loyed Jite Jerusalem. The fact is that you love the church o God so much that' there is no gpt ea earth so sacred, unless it be, YOHr own' fireside, " " '" VIEWING THE RUINS, The 'church has been to you so much comfort and illumination that there is nothing that makes you so irate as to have it talked against. If there have been times when you have been carried into captivity by sickness, you longed for the church, -our holy Jerusalem, just as much as Nehemiah longed for his Jerusam, and the first day you wma wilt "to the .house of the Lord, Fjjerrthfc temple' was m ruins, nice iver.emian, r you walked uroun'd and looked at it, and in the moon light you stood listening i you could not hear the vpie'e of the dead organ, the. psalm of the expired Sabbath. What Jen rusalem was to Nehemiah. iha church, of God is tp you. Skeptics and infidels may seeff it the -church as an obsolete affair, as a relic of the, dark ages, as a conven tion of goody goody people, but all the Impression they have ever made on your mind fegainst the church of God is ab solutely nothing. You would make more sacrifices for it today than any other in stitution, and if it were needful you would die In its defense. You can take the words of the kingly poet as he said, "If I forget thee, O Jerusalem;' let my right hand for get her cunning." You, understand in your own experience" the pathos, the homesickness, the courage, the holy en thusiasm of Nehemiah in his midnight, moonlight .ride around the ruins of- his belOved Jerusalem. EXPLORATION NECESSARY Again, my text impresses me with the fact that before reconstruction there must be an exploration of ruins. Why was not Nehemiah asleep under the covers? Why was not his horse stabled in the mid night? Let the police -of the city arrest this midnight rider, out on some mis chief. No. Nehemiah is going to rebuild the city, and he is making the preliminary exploration.. In this grate, out that gate, east, west, north, south. All through the ruins. 'The ruins nrust be explored before thp wprk of reconstruction can begin. The reason that so many peqple in this day, apparently converted, do not stay con verted is because they did not first ex- pjore the -ruins of their own heart. The reason that there are so many professed Christians who in 'this day He and forge and steal, and commit abominations, and go to the penitentiary, is because they first do not learn the ruin of their own heart. They have not found out that "the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked." They had an idea that they were almost right," and they built religion as a sort of extension, as an ornamental cupola. There was a su perstructure of religion built on a substratum of unrepented sins The trouble with a good deal of modern the ology 13 that instead of building on the right foundation, it builds on the debris of an unregenerated 'nature. They . at tempt to rebuild Jerusalem beforei in the midnight of ' conviction, ' they have' seen the ghasttiness of the ruin. They have such a' poor foundation for their reli gion that the first nortneast storm of temptation blows them dowp. -I have no faith jn a man's conversion if he is not converted in the old fashioned Wy John Bunyatf-s way., John Wesley's way, .John Calvin's way, Paul's way,' Christ's way, God's way. "A dntist said to me, "Does that hurt?" Said I: "Of course it hurts. It is in yoqr business &a in my profession. have te hurt before we" can help." You will never understand redemption until you understand ruin. THE OLD AND THE NEW. , A man tells me that some one is a mem ber of the church. It makes no impre;ien on my mind at all. I simply wii to Tcnow whether he was conyrtwrt-tn'the old fash ioned way. or wnether he Was -converted tlj th pew fashioned way. If he was con verted in the' old -fashioned way, he will stand. If he was converted in the new fashioned way, he will not stand. That is all there is about it. A man comes to me' to talk about religion.' The first question I ask him' is, "Do you feel yourself to be a sinner?: If he says, "Well. I yea," the hesitancy makes me feel that that man wants a ride on Nehemiah's horse by mid night through the ruins in by the gate of his affections, out by the gate of his will bet'irt.he M 801 though with that midnight ride he will drop the reins on jiu win take his right hand , and smite on bis heart and say. "God be merciful to me a sinner," and before he has stabled his horse he will taTke is 3" out the "irrups, and he will slide down on the ground, and hefwin kneel, crying: Have mercy on me O God, according to thy loving kindness, 'ac cording unto the multitude of thy tender mercies. Blot out my transgressions, for I acknowledge my transgressions, and mv sins are ever before thee." Ah, my friends you see this is not a complimentary gos pel. That is what makes some peopli so mad. It comes to a man of a million dol lars, and impenitent in his sins and says 7j;e Pauper." It comes to a woman of fairest cheek, who has never repented and says. "You're a .inner." It comes to a man priding himself on his independ ence, and says, "You're bound Nband and foot by the devil. It comes to our entire race, and says, "You're a ruin, a trhastlv ruln, an illimitable ruin." Satan some times i says i to me: "Why do you preach that truth? hy don't you preach a, iros pel with no repentence in it? Why don't .you flatter men's hearts so that you make them feel all right? Why don't you preach a humanitarian gospel, with no repentence in it, saying nothing about the ruin, talking -aU the time about the Re demption?" REDEMPTION A FORCE WITHOUT : RUIN. I say, "Get thee behind me, satan." I would rather lead five souls into safety than 20,000 into perdition. The redemp tion of the gospel is a perfect farce if there is nojuin. "The whole need not a physician, but they that are sick." "If any one, though he be an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel than this,"' says the apostle, "let him be ac cursed." There must be the midnight ride over the ruins before Jerusalem can be built. There must be the clicking of the hoofs before there can be the ring of the trowels. Again. My subject gives me a speci men of busy and triumphant sadness. If there was any man in the world who had a right to mope and give up everything as lost, it was Nehemiah. You say, "He was a cupbearer in the palace of Shushan, and it was a grand place.'' So It was. The nan oi max paiace was 200 feet square, and the roof hovered over 36 marble pil lars, each pillar 60 feet high, and the in tense blue of the sky, and the deep green of the forest foliage,! and the white of the driven snow, all hung trembling in the upholstery. But, my friends, you know very well that fine architecture will not put down homesickness. Yet Nehemiah did not give up. Then when you see him going among these desolated streets, and by these dismantled towers, and by tho torn up grave of s father, you. would suppose that he would have been dis heartened, and that he would have dis mounted from his horse and gone to his room and said:- "Woe is me! My father's grave is torn up. The temple is dishon ored. The walls are broken down. - I have no money with which to rebuild. I wish I had never been born. I wish I were dead." Not so says Nehemiah. Although he had a grief so intense that it excited the commentary of his king, yet that pen niless, expatriated Nehemiah rouses him self up to rebuild the city. He gets his permission of absence. He gets hia pass, ports. He hastens away to Jerusalem. By night on horseback he rides through the ruins. Be overcomes the most fero cious opposition. He arouses the piety and patriotism of the people, and in less than two months namely; fifty-two days, Jerusalem was rebuilt. That's what I call busy and triumphant sadness. THE DESIGN OF TROUBLE. My friends, the whole temptajion is with you when you have trouble to do just the opposite to the behavior of Ne hemiah, and that is to give up. You say, "I have lost my child and can never smile again." You say, "I have lost my prop erty, and I never can repair my fortunes." You say, "I have fallen Into sin, and I never can start again for a new life."' If satan can make you form that resolution and make you keep it, he has ruined you. Trouble is not sent, to crush ' you, but to. arouse ypu, to animate you,' to "propel yoq. The blacksmith does not thrust, vhe Iron into, the forge arid then blqw away with the bellows and then bring the hot iron out en tho anvil and beat with stroke af ter stroke to ruin the iron, but to. prepare it for a better use. Oh, that the Lord God of Nehemiah would rouse up all bro ken hearted people to rebuild! Whipped, betrayed, shipwrecked. Imprisoned, -Taul went right on. The Italian martyr Alge rius sits in his dungeon writing a letter, and he dates it, "From the deleetabTe or chard of the Leonine prison." That la what I call triumphant sadness. I knew a mother who buried her babe on Friday and on Sabbath appeared in the house of God and said : "Give me a class. Give me a 'Sabbath school class. I have no child now left me, and I would like to' have a class of little children; 'Give me a class off " the "back street." That,' 4 say; is beautiful. That is triumphant sadness. At-VbTctock OVvfy Sabbath afternoon for years In""a"beautiful parlor in Philadel phia a parlor pictured and statuetted there were from ten to twenty destitute children of the street. Those destitute children received religious instruction, concluding with cakes' and sandwiches. How do I know that that was goR en for sixteen years.? I know iu this way :" That was the first int lit ftilalphia where I waa etUled'tO Comfort a great sor, rejw.

That is What I rail hmv nnrl nrumpaht sadness. Here is a man who u iasi ma property, rle does not go to hard drinking. He does not destroy his own life. He comes and says: "Harness me for Christian work. My money's gone. I have no treasure on earth. X want treasures in heaven. -I have a voice arid a heart to serve God." Yqu say that man has failed. He has p.t failed he has tri umphed. Oh wish I could persude all the, peo ple who have any kind of trouble never Id," give" upi I wish they culd look at the midnight rider oj tke text, and that the four hoofs of that beast on which Ne hemiah rode inght'cut to pieces your dis couragements" and hardships and trials. Give Mpi Who is going to give up when ori the bosom of God he can have all his troubles hushed? Give up! Never think of giving up. Are you borne down with pov erty? A little child was found holding her dead mother's hand in the darkness of a tenement house, and some one coming in the little girl looked up, while holding her dead mother's hand, and said, ''Oh. I do wish that God had made more light ' for, poor folks!" My dear. God will be your ngni, lioa wui pe your shelter, uod will be yoyp home.' Are you borne down with lb bereavements of life? Is the house lonely now that the child is gone? Do not give Tip. Think of what the eld sexton said when the minister asked htm why he put so much care 00 the little graves in the cemeteryire much morp care than on the tetser graves and the old sexton said, "Str, you. know mat of such is the Kingoom of heaven, and I think the Sav iour is pleased when he Bees so much white cfcjver growing around these little graves. DO NOT GIVE UP. . But when the minister pressed the old sexton for a more satisfactory answer the 01a sexton said, - sir, aoout tuese larger graves, I don't know who are the Lord's saints and who are not, but you know, sir, W ta elean different with the bairns." Oh; if you have had that keen, tender, indescribable sorrow that comes from the loss of a child, do not give up. The old sexton was right. It la all well with the bairns. Or, if you have sinned, if you have sinned grievously sinned until you have been east out by the church, sinned until you have been cast out by society do not give up. Perhaps there may be in this house one that could truthfully utter the lamentation of another: Once I was pure as the snow, but I fell Fell like a snowflake. from heaven to -hell-Fell to be trampled as filth in the street Pell to be scoffed at, spit on and. bea.

From . Marshall, Minn., The New York Advertiser has the following dis patch: " - ' "The long, cold winter of this north west section, particularly of the Da kotas and Eastern Montana, has de veloped many new ideas in regard to where the future supply of fuel for the prairie farmer and other individuals of that section must come from, and it , is now quite defintelv settled that such supply sooner or later must be raised upon the farm, for the farmer who does not' own any timber finds that his fuel in one winter is a very costly item, wood being anywhere from $6 to $8 a cord. When the farmer lives way from the timber belt the supply must come , by rail, whether he t pur chases wood or coal. Both are very expensive, and this year few farmers have ready money. In fact, large num bers of farmers can' afford 'barely en'ough fuel to keep their houses in a semi-comfortable state. vIn the county of Lyon .many people have been experimenting with cor$ for fuel, and-they report it a much greater success than they had reason to an ticipate. They are so delighted with it that they will henceforth use no other fuel. v -'It gives out a yery strong regular heat, as does good hard wood, and it lasts nearly as long. The. maximum limits, however, would be far better than any results yet obtained, as the methods of burning it are as yet very crude. There can be no doubt, howev er, that inventors will be equal to the emergency and in due time create a nearly perfect corn stove or special furnace which will answer the usual requirements. As soon as. -this is done the farmers and others who are pre pared to .take advantage of the benefits may cultivate their own fuel on their own land and probably save 50 per cent, by doing so. - Two tons of corn would be equivalent to about one cord of hard wood if the corn were burned .economically, and corn for fuel would not need, by any means, the care that it would when grown for food.
