REV. DLUUUee. The Eminent Brooklyn Divina's Snn day Sermon. object: "The Lesson of the Pjramlds." Text: "Tnjhat day shall there be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border there of to tne Isord. And it shall be for a sty J and for a witness." isia'a xix., ly, 2. r I&iiai no doubt here refers to the reat pyraulid at G zek, the chief pyramid of Kzy Dt . The U-xt f peaks of a pillar in Evpt. and thu is th greatest pillar ever lifted; and the text Kays it is to fa at th border of the land, and this pyramid is at thy border of the land; and the t-xt siys it shall be for a witnesp, and the object of this scr.non is to tell what this pyramid witness. Thi? ser mon is the first of a cours3 of sernous en title). "From the Pyramids to the Acropolis, or What I saw in E.yp; anl Greece Con firmatory of the Scriptures." We had, on a morning of December, 1589. landed in Africa. Amid the howling boat men at Alexandria we bad come ashore and , taken 1 he rail train at Cairo, Eypt, alonjc the t ankx of tue most thoroughly harnessed river o: all the world the river Nile. We had at eventide entered the city of Cairo.the city where Christ" dwelt while staying' in Egypt during the Herodic persecution. It was our fir.t niht in Eypt. No destroying angel sweeping througa as oace, but all the stars were out, and tue &ij was .filled with angels of beauty and angels of light, and the air was balmy us an American June. Tne next morning we were early awae and at the winnow, looking upon tae palm trees in full glory of leafage, and upon gardens of fruits and flowers at the very season when our homes far away are canopiei by bleak: skies and the last leaf o the forest has gone down in the equinoctials. But hew can 1 describe the thrill of ex pectation, for to-day we are to see what all the world has Keen or wants to see the 'pyramids. We are mounted for an hour and a half's ride. We pass on amid baziara stuffed with rus and carpets, and curious fabrics of all sorts from Smyrna, from Al giers, trorn Persia, from Turkey, and through streets where we meet people of all colors and all garbs, carts loaded with garden pro ductions, priests in gowns, women in black veil". Bedouins in long and seemingly super fluous ap are!, Janissatios in jacket of era-' broidered gold out and on toward the great pyramid, for though there are sixty-nine yrami 's still standing, the pyramid at Gizeh s the monarch of pyramids. . We mest camels gruating under their loads, and see buffaloes on either sido browsing in pasture fields. The road we travel is for part of the way tmder clumps of acacia and by Ion;; rows of sycamore and tamerisk, but after awhile it is a path of rock and sind, and we find wa have reached th 3 margin of the desert, the great Sahara desert, and we cry out to the fjreat dragoman as we see a huge pile of rock ooming in sight, "Dragoman, what is that?" His answer is, "The pyramid," and then it seemed as if we were living a century every minute. Our thoughts and emotions were too rapid and intense for uttaranca, and we ride on in silence until we come to the foot of the pyramid spoken of in the text, the oldest structure in all the earth four thou sand years old at least. Here it is! We stand J a. i l m unuer xue snaaow oi a structure that shuts out all the earth and all the sky, and we look up and strain our vision to appreciate the distant top, and are overwhelmed while we cry, "The pyramid! The pyramid!" Each person in our party had two or three guides or helpers. One of them unroiled his turban and tied it around my waist and he held the other end of the turban as a matter of safety. Many of the blocks of stone are ' four or five feet high and beyond any ordin ary human stride unless assisted. But, two Arabs to pull and two Arabs to pu3h, J found i myself rapidly ascending from heigntli to heighth. and on to altitudes terrific, and at last at the tiptop we found ourselves on a level I space of about thirty feet square. Through ! clearest atmosphere we looked off upon the desert, and off upon the winding Nile, and off upon the Sphinix, with its features of everlasting stone, and yonder uoou the min arets of Cairo glittering in the sun. and yon der upon Memphis in ruins, and off upon the wreck of empires and the battlefields of ages, a radius of view enough to fill the mind and shock the nerves and overwhelm one's entire being. After looking around for awhile, ani a kodak had pictured the group, we descended. The descent was more trying than the ascent, for climbing you need not see the depths beneath, but coming down it was im possible not to see the abysms below. But two Arabs ahead to help u down, anl two Arabs to hold us back, we were lowered, hand below hand, until the grouni was in vitingly near, and amid the jargon of the Arabs we were safely lauded. Then came one of the most won ierful feats of daring end agility. One of the Arabs solicitel a dollar, saying he would run up and down the pyramid in seven minutes. We would rather have given him a dollar not to g but this ascent and descent in seven minutes .he was determine I on, and so by the watch in seven minutes he went to the'top and was back again at the bae. It was a bloodcur dling spectacle. I said the dominant color of the pyramid was gray, but in certain lights it seems to shake off the gray of ceatnries and became a blond, and the silver turns to the golden. It covers thirteen acres of ground. What an antiquity ! It was at least two thousand years old wnen the baby Christ was carried within siht of it by liis fugitive parents, Joseph and Mary. The storms of forty cen turies have drenched it. bombarded it. shadowed it, flashed uoon it, but there it stand, ready to take another forty cen turies of atmospheric attaei if the wor'd snould continue to exist. The oldest build ings of ttie earth ar juaiors to th.s treat sen.or of th cvuturies. Herodotus avs that for tea years preca utious wc re bem; made for the buildm'of this pyramid. It has eigaiy-two uiuhVa one hundrsd and eleven thousan i cubic'f e-t of masonry. Oua hundred toousani worim-n atone time toiled in its erection. To briu; the stona lrom the quarries a cause war sixtv ftWl?aWM bmlt Tae top stones werL lifted by machinery such as the world knows nothing Ot" to-day. It is seven hun tired and for:y-six fest eaca side of tae square base. : The structure is four huu ird and fifty feet high; higher than thecita drals of Co'ojn- Strasourg, Rouia. St. Jeter s and Sr. Paul's. So surpriss toms that it was put at th hsad o! tie sivan won ders of tue worli. It has a suotn-rauoui room of red granite called f h "iia-s caan Uer, and another nx n vJied th s ius ai chamoer, and the probability i taa; ta r j are other rooms yet uuexpiofad. the evident design of tu? architect was to make these rooms as inaccssabie as possioie. After all the wor orexplorauoa and ail the oigffiuff and blasting, if you would enter thee subterraneous rooms, you man go throa-U a passage only three lejt eleven inches high aai less than four fet wide, A sarcophagus of red granite standi doa ua der this raoaut&in of masoarr. Taa sarcophagus coul I not have bea carried ia arter tne pyramid wasbailt. It oasfhara been put thera bafore tha structura wis reared. Probably ia t.iat sxreopaagui oaca lay a woodenolHa coatiiaia; a deal klag, but time has destroyed thi ciSa aai de stroyed ths last vestige of ha naa remlai. For three tooasmi ye ira this sapa ciral room was uaopinil, anl would have b3a until to-lay probably uapaaei hal nos a euperstitiou im oressioa got aoroa i taat th heart of the pyramid wa filled with silver and gold aad diacaoals, anl unler Al Mamoun an excavatia j party went to wor and having bore I an 1 blastei through a hun dred feet of roc'r, they foanl no opening ahead, and were about to give up tae at tempt when the workmen hfird a 'stone roll down info a seemingly hollow place, anl en couraged by that thif re-mme! their wo.-i anl came into tasuaiergroualrjorus. The disappointmeat o.' tha workman in finding the sarcophagus empty of alt sdver and gold and precious staaas was so great that they would have assassinate 1 Al Ma moun, who employed th 3m, had ha not hi i in another part of tha pyrimil as rauh sil ver anl gold as would pay than for their work at ordinary rates of wages aai in duced them there to dig tiil thay to their surprise came upoa adequate compensation. I wonder nor tuat this mountain of lime stone and red granite ha3 beea the fascina tion of scholars, of scientists, of iatelligaat Christians ia all ages. Sir John Herschel, the astronomer, sail he thou rat it bal a?- tronoaiical significance! The wisa men who accompaniei Napoleon's army into Egyjc went into profouni stu ly of the pyramid. In Professor Smyth anl his wife lived in the empty tombs near by the pyramid taat they might be as coatinmasiy as pas sible close to thepyramii which thay wra investigating. The pyramii, built more than four thousanl years ago, boing a com ple geometrical figure, wise men hava con cluiM it must have bean divinely con structed. Men came through thousands of years to fine architecture, to mus e, to paint ing, but this was periect at the world's start, and God must have directed ii. All astronomer-, geometricians and scien tists say that it was scientifically and mathe matically construct? 1 befora science ani mathematics were born. From the inscrip tions on the pyramid, froai its proportions, from the points of the compass recognizal in its structure, ..from the direction in which its tunnels run, from the relative oosition of the blocks that compos a it, scientists. Chris tians and infidels have demonstrate! that the being who planned this pyramid must have known the world's spaericity, and that its motion was rotary, and how many miles it was in diameter ani circumference, and how many tons the world weighs, and knew at what point in the heavens certain stars would appear at certain periods of time. Not in the four thousan l years since the putting ,up of that pyramid has a single fact in astronomy or mathematics been foani to contradict tha wisdom of that structure. Yet they had not at the age wnen the pyramid was started an astronmar or an ar chitect or a mathematician wortn mention ing. W ho then planned the pyramid? Who superintended its erection? Who from its first foundation stone to its capstone erected everything? Itmu3t have baaa God. Isaiah was right when he said in my text, "A pil lar shall be at the border of the land of Egypt and it shall be for a sign and a wit ness." The pyramid is God's first Bible thnfi- lf n,fc 1 of years bfora wwtl fctlme, f the. Boo!c of Genesis was written, tha lesson of the pyramid was writ , Well of what is this Cyclopaan masonry a sign and a witness? Among other tain-V-th.9 Prolongation of human work com parad with the brevity of human life. In all the four thousand years this pyramid has only lost eighteen feat in width; one side of its square at the basa change i only from seven hundre land sixty-four feet to seven hundred and forty-six feet, and the most of that eighteen feet taken off by architects to SQ?on9 r buildinr in th, city of Cauo. Tne men who constructed the pyra mid worked at it only a few years, and then put down the trowel, anl the compass, and XeaiVDd 1wered the derrick which had luted tire ponderous weights; but forty centuries has their work stoo l, and it will ba good for forty centuries more. All Egypt has been shaken hy terrible earthquakes an 1 cities have been prostrated or swallowed, but that pyramid has defied all volcanic paroxysms. It has look.nl uooa some of the greatest bittles ever fought sinca the world stood. Wnera are the m-n who constructed it? Their bo lies gona t dust and even tha dust scattered. Even tha sarcophagus in which tha king's mummy may have slept is empty. So men die but their work lives on. We ara all buildmg pyramids not to last four thousand years, buC forty thousand, forcy million, forty trillion, forty quadrillorL forty quintiilion. For a while we wield the trowel, or pound with the ham ner or meas ure with tha yard sticic, or write' with tha pen. or experiment with the scientific bat tery, or plan with the brain, ani for a while the foot walks, and tha eye sees, and the ear hears, an 1 the tongue speaks. All the good words or bad words we spaa are spread oL into one layer for a pyramid. All tha kind deeds or malevolent deeds we do are soread out into another layer. All tha Christian or un-Chnstian example we set is spread out in another layer. All the iniirect iuduencas of our lives are spreal out in another layer. Then the time soon comes when we put down the implement of toil ani pass away but the pyramid stanis. The pyramii is a sign and a witness that big tombstones are not the best way of keeping ones self affectionately remeai bered. This pyramid ani tha sixty-niue other pyramids still standing were built for sepulcuers, ail this great pile of granite anl limestone by waich we stand to-lav, to cover the memory of a dead king. It was the great Westminster abbey of the ancients. Soma say that Cheop was the king who built this pyramii, but it is uncertain. Who wa Cneops anyhow? All that the world knows about him could ha told in a few sentences. Tne only thing certain is that he was bVd, aud that he shut up the tempies of worship, and that he was hated so that the Egyptians were glad'whea he wa-. de-ad. This pyramid of rock seven hunlrel anl forty feet eac'a side of thi sqaare nasi an I four hundred and fifty feet hign wins for him no respect. If a bona of his arm or foot had -been found in the sarcophagus beneath the pyramid, it would have excited no mra veneration than tue skeleton of a cimel bleacaing on the Libyan desert: yea, less veneration, for when I saw the carcass of a camel by tha roadside on the way to Mem phis, I said to myself, "Poor thing, I woadar of what it diei.' We sav nothing agaiut the marole or th bronze of the necropolis. Let all the sculpture and florescence and ar bot escence can do tor the places of the deal be done, if means will ado w it. But if after , one is dead thera is nothing left to rem.ui the wor.d o." him but sjao p.ecea o! stone, . there is but little left.

ANOTHER SWINDLE SQUELCHED The Elder Tub nhintr Company or Chicago Comet to iirlef. The hot-tied of swindlers and wild cat schemes. Chicago, has furnished the latest victim to Uncle Sam's postal authorities. This time it is the Elder Publishing Company, and' the instrument of its downfall" was a green country boy named J a rod (Heaven forgive his parents) Ilousel, of Three Rivers, Mich. Jared paid C"0 for his title of '-Ceneral Manager f the Elder Publishing Companv for Three Rivers." and $5.25 for "four samples of 17 cent looks. P.-ing un able to sell the -cheap literature, he wrote to the company demanding a return of his money. In reply hi' re ceived a letter admonishing 'him to 'put on the armor of srlf-relianee and press forward and make a name that would be remembered with honor." Instead of doing thi ho put on his lighting clothes and made such a row for the swindling company that its projectors were landed in jail, lie was but one of several thousand victims. Resides the scheme they worked on Ilousel, the company' had another. In reply to their advertisement for agents they received from 3o to ,,oo answers per day. A circular would be mailed to each applicant telling him or her to furnish not less than eight references, with sixteen 2-cent stamps to cover the cot of corres pondence with such references. If the applicant for agencies gave no evidence in their letters of sjM-cial greenness and qualities, the smooth swindlers, without having written the references at all. would wait a fewilaysand then inform the would be agent that "after investigation they had decided to not appoint him:" and they were just fourteen 2-cent stamps ahead on that one -sucker." Rut. if the applicant appeared to le a lit subject and hundreds (if them were then the fun Wgan. and he w;ti plucked unmercifully. The scheme was ingenious, but its successful working dejK'nded upon the careles-ness with which the fool killer attended to his business. And it came to grief. ; It will not le lonsr. however, before another takes its place. Pop'ilatloti if I.lalio. 1 The population of the- State ol Idaho a ceo niing t. the present census ! is S4.3Sf.

He Puts Salt in His Coffee and Eats Gravy on Ice Cream. A very remarkable case of a per verted and artificial taste is found in the person of Charles .1. dimming, a thriving grocer of Wo-: Philadel phia. The queerest combinntions of food imaginable mixture which would nauseate an ordinary person arc his favorite dUhe. It i net that he like food prepared different from the usual styles, but it is the manner in which he mixes ordinary dishes which excites so much wonder, and has given ri-e to so many conjecture and attempted explanation. Tor in stance, Mr. Cuinmings butters raw to matoes puis salt in bis cotlee. vinegar in his inilk, gravy in his ice-cream, cream on hi melon, aud makes many other combinations to tickle hi palate which are nothing if not unique. One of his, favorite dihes is rare steak breaded with fruit cake, with a dress ing of currant jelly. In winter a reg ular morning meal ot thi gentleman is lettuce chopped fine, with a dress ing of mobiles and red pepper. There are manv other unheard-of dishes which delight hi peculiar pal ate, but enough have been mentioned. This freak of appetite has excited the curiosity of Mr. dimming friend for many years, and even the neighbors have indulged in comment-, as to the cause of sue!: a striking phe nomenon. Hearing about the cae. a reporter visited Mr. Cuinmings at hU home. The gastronomic freak i a pleasant man of 40, of ordinary ap pearance, lie was found in hi com fortable homo surrounded by an inter esting family. He told tae following story of the way he acquired his re markable appetite: "I don't know that I am more stub born than other men," he said with a smile a ho lighted a frcah cig ar, 'but they tell mo that I was as perverse a OKI Nick when a child. Xo matter what other people did, I wanted to do just the opposite, out of 'pure ctisetl ness. And so among other lhiti"s I took to mixing my food into unhcird of dishes. 1 can even remember that when I began this thing I did not find it pleasant, but the devil in me wmld not let me back down, and so I real I v had a relish for what I ate. Indeed it wa not long before I became indif ferent to dishes prepared in the uual stylo, and today they are really dis tasteful to me." Air. dimming continued, a if there wa no possibility of any one doubting his veracity: "The most curious thing about thi matter is that one of my children h . inherited my acquired taste, and stranger still that thi child should b my youngest.' Then Mr. dimming went out and brought in a pretty child of 4 years. This child; sir," said the father, as he put her on hi knee. ha been a puzzle to a lot of physicians an I physiologists. They all say that thov never heard of such a remarkable cmm of heredity. Vou see that she do- tu t look like me, but i the imge of her ir.other. and yet he has inherited from me a taste which even with me is acquired. I have not met a man vet who can explain the thing even to his own satisfaction." The little girl soon became tired of the conversation and demanded her supper. ' And what do you think her sup per will be? iic?d caches and c!d bean soup!" As hi auditor looked incredulous. Mr. dimming took him into the nur sery, and Mire enough there was little Li y discussing her peaches and cold Vjup with the utinot relish. All the other children hare normal tastes, and. though they have made lome experiment, in imitation of their father juu for the fun of the thing, they huvc not been tempted to ..vnt any new menu.
