A Broken Record.
Young Dunderhead's proud mother
tells her friends that he has certainly
broken the record. Only four years out
of college that is, of course, ho. didn't
graduate, but he left four years ago,
you know and her he is purchasing
agent for International Ivory at; a sal
ary of $12,000. She says she has often
remarked to her husband, who has the
controlling interest In International,
that she does not believe there was
ever such an instance of rapid advance
ment of the young man under the re
gime of competition.
Samuel Schwalm, who was disinher
ited by his father because he deserted
the Democratic party, died on Thurs
day last at his home in Valley View,
Pennsylvania, aged 76 years. He went
away to the civil war a Democrat, and
when he returned he identied himself
with the Republican party.
Mrs. Emmons, saved from U
an operation for Ovaritis, tells
how she was cured by Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
I am so pleased with the results I
obtained from Lydia E. Plnkham's
Vegetable Conpounil that I feel it
a duty and a privilege to write you
about it.
"I suffered for over five yars-with
ovarian troubles, causing' an un
pleasant discharge, a great weakness,
and at times a f aintness would come
over me which no amount of medicine,
vdiet, or exercise . seemed to correct.
Your Vegetable Compound found the
weak cpot, however, within a few
weeks and saved me from an
Operation all my troubles had dis
appeared, and I found myself 1 once
more healthy and well. Words fail to
describe the real, true grateful feeling
that is in my heart, and I want to tell
every sick and suffering sister. Don't
dally with medicines you know noth
' ing about, but take Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, and
' take my word for it. you will be a
different woman in a short time."

Time." He took his text from Kevelations
x: 5 and G: "And the angel which 1 saw
stand upon the sea and upon the earth
lifted up his hand to heaven, and sware
by Him that liveth forever and ever, who
created heaven, and the things that therein
are, and the earth, and the things that
therein are, and the sea, and the things
which are therein, that there should be
time no longer."
Our fcheme is a trifle threadbare, but per
haps none the less profitable on 'that ac
count. It is an easy matter to make a
homily on time, but not all homilies are as
much to the point as that of the court jes
ter Jacques:
"Good morrow, fool, quoth I.
"No. sir " ciuoth he:
"Call me not fool till heaven hath sent me I
fortune.
And then he drew a dial from his poke,
And, looking on it with lack-luster eye,
Says very wisely, "It is ten o'clock;
Thus may we see," quoth he, "how the
world wags;
'Tis but an hour ago since it was nine;
And after one hour more 'twill be eleven;
And so, from hour to hour, we ripe and
ripe.
And then, from hour to hour, we rot and
rot;
And thereby hangs a tale."
Let this melancholy "tale" engage, us for
a while. The issues of interminablexaeona
may depend upon the attention we give to
the circling hands on the dial. He who
learns aright the lessons of time is ready
to meet the responsibilities of eternity.
But what is time? "Time is money,"
they say. So far so good, if we would real
ize it. A man went into Benjamin Frank
lin's book store and inquired the price of
a volume. "One dollar," was the clerk's
answer. "Call your employer," said the
would-be purchaser. When Franklin was
asked the price of the volume he answered,
"One dollar and a quarter." "Why, your
clerk asked only a dollar." "To be sure,
but you called me from my printing press
and I am charging you for my time." The
man argued and remonstrated in vain.
Presently he said, "Now, Mr. Franklin,
really what is your lowest ligure for this
book?" "One dollar and a half." "Pre
posterous! You only asked me a dollar
and a quarter." ."Yes, but my time is val
uable, and every minute sends the book
up." Thi3 was sound philosophy and good
business. If our days and hours were all
markea with a price in plain figures wc
should probably be less profligate of them.
We have no 3uch scruple about wasting
time as. we would have In throwing gold
eagles into the sea.
But time is more than money. It is "the
stuff that life is made of." It stands for
privilege, opportunity, responsibility, judg
ment; heaven or hell. You may throw
away a dollar and earn another, but no
two moments overlap, lhe last one said
r li r 1 1 . l i i
Time is a talent, a talent of gold stamped
with the image and superscription of the
King. God made it, as He made the trees
and mountains, and He owns it. He has
entrusted it to us, to be put at usury for
Him. "Will a man rob God? Yet ye have
robbed Me, saith the Lord of hosts." The
misappropriation or misuse of days and
hours and moments is as really dishonest
as the tapping of an employer's till. This
is a serious matter, and gives us sufficient
food for thought, if our question were
pushed no further. But we cannot stop
here.
I asked an aged man with hoary hairs,
Wrinkled and curved with many worldly
cares, '
"Time is the warp of life," he said, "O tell
The young, the fair, the brave to use" it
well." '
I asked the
spheres,
Those bright
mighty angel and silvery
chronometers of passing
years;
They answered,
s - -
"Time is but a meteor's
glare.
And bade me for eternity prepare.
I asked the mighty angel who shall stand
One foot on sea, the other on the land;
"Mortal," he cried, "the mystery is o'er;
Time was, time is but time shall be no
more!"
' 'A step further brings us to the inquiry,
tWhat is time for? or to what -end haa this
momentous trust been reposed in us? Let
it be understood that time is not for us to
live in. Wc are not ephemera ; we live for
ever. Time is given us for. preparation.
Th:s,is only the antechamber of lite, where
rare stand waiting until the door opens and
"we pass in. - Death is the' angel that opens
the door. The only reason why we fear
death is because we know that . as time
leaves us eternity t finds us. Death ends
probation. We cross the line .with our
characters chrystalized: "He that is unjust,
let him be unjust still; he that is holjvlet
uuu uc uuij Bbiii.. xuese mc uui atnuur
days; death is "commencement." Her
we serve an apprenticeship; death is going
t9 work. . ,
..The other day, a young newspaper re
porter said to me, on my refusing an inter
view: "I wish you would help me along.
I'm on probation, and whether I get an
engagement or not aepenas upon my sue-
i -.11 -
cess in xnvs sort or tmng..,. i wonaer now
some pf the people who are now wasting
tneir probation can expect to be taken
into service in the kingdom of God. What
can they do? Let. the great Employer ask
them, "What can you do?" How will it
seem to answer, "I can sell drcs3 goods; I
can lead the german ; I can make money or
spend it; I can drive a bargain; 1 can sail
a schooner or run an enjjrine: I can 're
ceive' and 'entertain;' I can make money V
These may be good as far as they go, but,
in all soberness, how far do they go as a
preparation for the tasks of heaven? Do
you know, friend, how to.comfort the grief
stricken and rescue the wandering ? How
to minister to the need ; of ; the- wounded
traveler on the Jericho road? How to give
the cup of cold water to one. of God's little
ones? How to point a penitent sinner to
the lamb of God? How to sneak ih
? raises of the One altogether lovely? How
o sing "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Al
mighty?" If not, what a bewilderinsr sort
of place lieaven would be to you! AVhat
are you fit ' for V Heaven is no place for
unskil'ed labor. What can you do? Time
is given you for this very purpose-, to get
ready for the things further on. 1 ;

We have time enough for devotion. AH
the days are God's days, but of-one it; is
written. "The Lord .blessed'-. the Sabbata
day and hallowed it." I have known, a
man to curtail his rest ss nights in. the
weok and recuperate on Sunday. This is
robbing God. The night and the baboath
have separate uses.
Christ said. "lne ftao-
bath was made for man." It was made to
subserve our '.highest 'interests as children
of God. It is not enough that we should
close the shop; we. must open the windows
of our souls toward God. , The Sabbath U
a "hallowed" or holy day. The Lord know
how busy we would be on the secular days
so busy that wc are likely to give little
or no thoucht to spiritual things where
fore lie said, "I will give them a day-for
their souls; when they may come up into
the mountains and breathe the clear air
with Me."
So He has given us time divided and ad
justed to our needs, and it behooves ..us to
make an economical use of it. Some people
are always in haste; others are always be
hind time. It was a wise saying of Fla
veh "To come before the opportunity is
to come before the bird is hatched; to
come after the opportunity is to come af
ter the bird is flown." ICvery day, every
hour, every moment strikes its .own bal
ance. Postponement is profligacy. . Pro
CTastii.ation is a spendthrift as well as a
thief. It was" Lord Chesterfield, one oi
the worldliest of men, who wrote to his
son, "2s ever put, off until -to-morrow what
you can do to-day." ; .
But the worst of all capital crimes is
"killing time." -The phrase is significant
significant of murder most foul. . The
youth who seeks to quiet memory and an
uneasy conscience by plunging into dissipa
tion; the old social campaigner who wan
ders about with a worn-out stomach and a
wizened heart in search of pastures new;
the devotee of fashion, whose idle days
are spent in recovering from worse than
idle nights these all are chronocides, and
they are moral suicides as well. :
Oil. the waste, the frightful, . irrevocable
waste! Dreaming empty dreams, .buildxiiz
castles in the air, fighting specters and
iviimuuiis, untcruwnmg vain regrets ana
foolish hopes, brooding on old- grudges,
tearing characters to tatters over the tea
cups, borrowing trouble, vritiug books
that never will be published nor ought to
be, groaning over imaginary aches and
pains, crossing bridges before we come to
them what a large part of life these till?
?f5mw to
S! f Lli0 humanity' hIched from
the service of God
The world is full of commonp'acc people
who have squandered their birthright and
fallen short of all the large possibilities of
their being through lhe misuse of time.
They sit tilted back in their chairs'' and
twiddling their thumbs while Waterloo is
being fought, and they wake up and' begin
to fret when nothing is going on. Thcv
never catch up with themselves. The
"more convenient season" leads them a
stern chase year in and year out.
One of the valuable secrets of. success is
knowing how to economize the fragments
of time. An hour scem3 a little matter,
but you can read twenty quarto pages in
an hour, and an hour a day for four year
would carry you through the Encyclopaedia
Britannica. Ten minutes are hardly worth
considering, yet Longfellow in his youth;
translated Dante's "Inferno" in the ten
minutes day after day. while he waited'
for his coffee to boil. "Gather up the frag-1
me its that nothing be lost." While Pro- i
lessor -aiucneii was in charge of a division
during the Civil War ke said to a young
??lfe&T?U exfu rurse-f .n H1 8ro"na
that ydure on y a few minutes ate. Sir,
I have been in the habit f ealeulatincr the
value of a millionth part of a second!" It
is the loss of time, a little here and a little
there, that makes life a failure and eternity
an irremediable disappointment. -
, Will there be an end of time? Aye,
when eternity begins. The life bevond is
unconditioned by the falling sandsjof the
hour glass. At the sounding of tie sev

in majesty, with one foot planted' on the

A GREAT many remedies to tempora

from time to time, such as sprays, snuffs,

no enthusiasm in the treatment of catarrh.
It is generally pronounced, by them to
be incurable. ; r
It therefore created a great sensation in
medical circles when Dr. Hartman an

which would cure catarrh permanently.
The remedy, was named Peruna, and in
a short time became? known to thousands
of catarrh sufferers north, south, east and
