In the best con- • clitiomed life for some grand and Iglorious purpose God lias sent the hornet. Again. tile small insect annoyances may come to us in the shape of friends and acquaintances who are alWays saying disagreeable things. irlierc are some people you cannot be with for bait an hour but you feel eheered ittni comforted. Then there aro other people you cannot be with for five minutes before you feel mis- erable. They do not mean to dis- turb yo, but they sting you to the bone. They gather up all the yarn 'which the gossips spin mid retail it. They gather up all the adverse criti- cisms about your person, about your business, abou.t your home, about your church, and they make your ear the funnel into which they pour it. They laugh heartily -when they tell you, as though it were a good Joke, and you laugh, too—outside.. These people are brought to our ate tention in the Bible, in the book of Ruth. Naomi went forth beautiful and with the finest worldly pros- pects into another land, but after awhile she co.me back widowed and sick and poor. What did her friends do when she came to the city? They all -went out, and instead of giving her common sense and consolation, what did they do? Bead the book Of Ruth and find out. They threw up their hands and said, "Is this Naomi?" as xnuch as to say, "How awful bad you look!" When I enter- ed the ministry, I looked very pale for years, and every year, for four or five years, many times a year I was asked if I had not consumption, ould sometimes hear people sigh passing thropgh the room, I and say, "A -ah, not long for this world!" I resolved in those times that I never in any conversation would say anything depressing, and by the help of God I have kept the resolution. These people of whom I speak reap and bind in the great harvest field of discouragement. Some day you greet them with a hilarious "Good morning," and they -come buzzing at you with some de- pressing information. "The Lord sent the hornet." It is astonishing how some people prefer to write and to say disagree- • able things. That was the case when Ilenry M. Stanley returned after his a--Magnificeet exploit of finding David • Livingstone. When Mr. Stanley stood before athe savants of Europe • and many of the small critics of the day, under the pretense of getting •-geographical information, put to hini insolent questions, he folded his • arms and refused to answer. At the very time when you would suppose • all decent men would have applaud- ed the heroism of the man there were those to hiss. "The Lord sent • the hornet." And when afterwards that man. sat down on the western coast of Africa, sick and worn out, with perhaps the grandest achieve- ment of the age in the way of geo- graphical discovery, there were small critics all over the world to buzz and buzz and caricature and deride him, arid -when after awhile he got the London papers, as he opened them, out flew the hornet. When I see that there are so many people in the world who like to say disagreeable things and write disagreeable things, X come almost in my weaker mo- ments to believe vhat a man said to me in Philadelphia one Monday eaerning.

God says that is keep it is one of the great questions of the country. Sometimes it may be the arrogance and inconsiderate- ness of employers: but, wliatever be the fact, we all admit there are these insect annoyances wieging their way out from the culinary de- portment. If the grace of God be not in the heart of the bousekeeper, sho eannot maintain her equilibrium. These small insect disturbaneee may also come In the shape of haste Pese irritation. There are men here who went through the 24th of Sep- tember, 1869, and the panics of 1873 and 1803 without losing their balaece who are every clay lluliOrSed by little annoyances—a clerk's ill • manners, or a blot of ink on a bill lading, or the extravagance of a pariner who overdraws his n- ouut, or the underselling by a busi- ness rival, or the whispering of ore eonfleences in the street, or the eking of some little bad debt which was against your judgment: nit you wented to please somebody cIsc. bare noticed in the history ot some of my congregation that thei annoyances are multiplying and that they have a hundred where they used to have ten. The naturalist tells es that a wasp sometanes has a family of 20.000 wasps, and it does seem as if every annoyance of your life brooded a million. By the help of Gad, to -day I want, to show you the other aide. The hornet. is of no use? Oh, yes! The naturalist tells no they aro very important in the world's economy. They kill spi- ders, and they clear the atmosphere. And I really believe God sends the annOyanees of aur life upon us to kill the spiders of the soul and to clear the atmosphere of our skies. These annoyances are sent on us, I think, to wake us up frorn our lethargy. There is nothing that makes it man so lively as a nest of "Yellow itteaets," and I think that these annoyances are intended to • persuade us of the fact that this is not a world for us to stop in. If we had a bed of everything that was attractive and soft anti easy, what would we want of heaven? We think that the hollow tree sends the hor- net, or we may think that the devil sends the hornet. I want to cor- rect your opinion. "The Lord sent the hornet." Then I think these annoyances come on us to cultivate our pa- tience. In the gyninnelum you find upright parallel bars with holes over each other for pegs to be put in. Then the gymnast takes a peg in each hand, and he begins to climb, one inch at a time or two inches, and getting his strength cultivated, reaches after a while the ceiling. And it seems to me that these an- noyances in life are a moral gym- nasium, each worriment a peg witb which we are to climb higber and higher in Christian attainment. We aft love to see patience, but, it eau - not be cultivated in fair aetither. Patience is a child of the storm. If you had everything desirable and there was nothing more to get, what would you want with patience? The only time to cultivate it is when you are lied about and sick and half dead. Nothing but the furnace will ever born out of us the clinker and the slag. I have formed this theory in regard to small annoyances and vex- ations. It takes just so much trouble to fit us for usefulness and for heaven. The only question is whether we shall take it in the bulk or pulverized and granulated. Here is one man who takes it in bulk. His back, is broken or his eyesight put out, or some other awful calam- ity befalls him, while the vast ma- jority of people take the thing piece- meal. Which way would you rather have it? Of course, in piecemeal. Better have five aching teeth than one broken jaw; better ten fly blist- ers than an amputation, better 20 squalls than one cyclone. There may be a difference of opinion as to allo- pathy and homeopathy, but in this matter of trouble I like homeopath- ic doses, small pellets of annoyance rather than some knockdown dose of calamity. Instead of the thander- bolt give us the hornet. If you have a bank, you would a great deal ra- ther that 50 men. would come in with checks less •than $100 than to have two depositors come in the same day, each wanting his $10,- 000. In this latter case you cough and look down to the floor and you look up to the ceiling before you look into the safe. Now, my friends, would you not rather have these small drafts of annoyance on your bank of faith than some all stagger- ing demand upon your endurance? But remember that little as well as great annoyances equally require you to trust in Christ for succor and for deliverance from impatience and ir- ritability. "Thou wilt keep hire in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee." ' did H touches ow many M it on In one dash?" "No," says ¥r, Churelq "I know how to make a peinting. It will take 50,000 oi these touches." And I want you, my friends, to understand that it is these ten thousand annoyances which, under God, are malting up the picture of your life. to be hung at last in the galleries of aeaven, fit for angels to look at. God knows how to make a picture. I go into a. sculptor's studio and see him shaping a statue.

The distance from Lake Superior at Port Arthur, Canada's western lake port, to Winnipeg is about 450 miles by this line, and 140 miles are already under rails. 02 this, 20 miles are at the east end, being a portion of the old Port Arthur, Duluth and Western road, which bas beela bought by the Canadian syndicate back of the great enterprise, and the remainder -120 miles — reaches southeasterly from • Witmipeg iuto Minnesota south of tete Lake of the Woods.

A returned missi on n ry told me that a company of adventurers row- ing up the Ganges were stung to death by flies that infest that region at certain seasons. The earth had been strewed with the coreasses of men slain by insect annoyances. The only way to get prepared for the great tronbles of life Is to conquer these small troubles.

And 1 ha,ve to tell yon, 0 Christian men, if you cannot apply the principles of Christ's religion on a smnll scale you will never be able to apply them on a larger scale. If I had my way with you, I would have you possess all possible worldly prosperity. I would have you each one a garden, a river flowing through it, gera- niums and shrubs on the sides and the grass and flowers as beautiful as though the rainbow had fallen. would have you a house, a splendid mansion, and the beds should be cov- ered -with upholstery dipped in the setting sun. 1 would have every hall in your house set with, statues and statuettes, and Then I would have the four quarters of the globe pour in all their luxuries on your table, and you should have forks of silver and knives of gold, inlaid with dia- monds and amethysts. "Not each one of us?" you say. Yes, each one of y011, "Not to your enemies?" Yes. The only dif- ference I would make with them would be that I 'would put a little extra, gilt on their walls and a little extra embroidery on their slippers. "But," you say, "Why does not God give us all these things?" Ah! I bethink to myself. He is wiser. It would make fools and sluggards of us if we bad our way. No man puts his best picture in the portioo or vestibule of his house. God meant this world to be only the vestibule of heaven, that great gallery of the universe toward which we are as- piring. We must not have it too good in this world, or we would want no heaven. Polycarp was condemned to be burned to death. The stake was planted. He was fastened. to it. The fagots were placed around him, the fires kindled, but history tells us that the flames bent outward like the canvas of a ship in a stout breeze, so that the Eames, instead of destroying Polycarp, were only a `wall between him and his enemies. They had actually to destroy hixn with the Poinard. The flames would not touch him.. Well, my hearer'I want you to understand that by God's grace the Baines of trial, in- stead of consuming your soul, are only going to be a wall of defense and a canopy of blessiug. God is going ,to fulfill to you the blessings and the promises, as he did to Poly - carp. "When thou weakest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned." • Now you de not understand, but you shall know hereafter. In heaven you will bless God even for the hornet.

There are 3,000 tons of supplies et Rat Portage waiting ship- ment to poillts on the liue, as much more at Fort Franois, and, twice as =vole more at stations along the line of the Canadian Pacific. Warehouses are being built at a dozen points along the route. Near Rainy Lake the work ef eon- struotion is very heavy, and crossing that lake there will be one of the longest bridges on the American con- tinent. The Comedian Government is interested in the construction of the line to such an extent that it has re - toady given a bonus of $10,400 per mile for the entire distal:toe, exeept for a few miles that will cross Ameri- can soil in Mienesota. From the main line of th.eCanaelian Paeite road on tae north and from Lake Superior an the east to the Red Raver on the west, there is no railroad. Tills is a territory of from 150 to 180 miles norta and south and 850 miles east and west, It contains over 50,000 square miles. The new lite will bi- sect it, and will run through a gold - bearing area larger than the State of Colorado. It -Neill tap the new and probably important ..atiltokan iron range; it will opezi up more pulp wood to the axe than there is in the State of Maine ; it will tap the outlets of streams flowing through the only white pine forests of the United States, and will open to cultivation a tremendous area of wheat and other farming lands of good climate aad ricb. soil. By extensions of from forty to seventy -ave miles, roads ruxming north from Duluth can connect with the line, and a new and important railway system will converge at this point, adding greatly to the commer- cial importance of the head of Lake Superior. The new transcontinental line of which this road will f oam a part is already built from Quebec to the east- ern shore of the great lakes, -at Parry Sound, Georgian Bay. For the pres- ent the lakes will form the only oon- necting link thence westward as far as Port .Arthur and Duluth. The On- tario and Rainy River will be the link to Winnipeg. Westward to the foothills of the Rockies there are now in operation for a great part of the distance colonization and other independent roads under Government grants. These will form portions of the road. A link 450 miles long run- ning due west from Winedpeg will be in operation next season, and will carry passengers clear to Prince Al- bert, on. the Upper Saskatchewan Valley. Over the mountains and to the Pacific south of Sitka a line will be under construCtion within a year. From Winnipeg east to Quebec these roads will form a trunk line of modern construction, with low grades, easy curves, and heavy rails, bridges and equipment, and capable of carry- ing- freight at the lowest rates. •In the bounty contracts for the building of these lines there are government restrictions as to grades and curves and. as to the rase -imam rates of traffic, which will cut in two the ex- isting freights from Western Canada to the sea. Be Neat. AU well bred women will strive to look neat and tidy about the house while attending to their domestic duties. The one garment which should be rigidly tab,00ed is the Mother Hub- bard wrapper, that loose affair which hangs about a woman in ugly folds, and gives her sucb. a slovenly appear- ance. A wash dress of gingham or cambric whioh is neatly belted. in to the figure or a Short, dark waist made as a blouse or shirt waist, but always belted, is what the best dressed wom: en wear in the morning. Aprons are a great convenience and are worn by some of the best dressd women during the morning hours of household occu- pations. A custom which, should be encouraged is to change one's gown for dinner, or at least te wear some sort of lace Balm or neck adornment, which dresses one up a little. If you are it mother, it is a good example to your children, if a wife, a corapli- ment to your husband. Make some radical change in your dress as well when you spend the evening quietly at home as when you go out to spend it with friends. The idea that some women have that "anything is good • enough for home" it a sad mistake. Railways represent an eoormous addition to public wealth.

That witch influence, says the Paris correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph, is not yet on the wane in some parts of France is proved by the horrible ease of desecretion of a grave reported from. Pouzanges, In La, Ven- dee. One 13rochard, a small faxmer, took a shovel, hanuner aud chisel iuto a cemetery, in the place .mentioned, the oth,er night, and dug up a coffin from a week old grave. Then he plied his aanuner and oaisel on the casket, which contained the corpse of a woman, broke it open and with a large clasp knife cut off Some flesh from the body. Tile noise attracted the attention of the caretaker of the cemetery, who went to the epot and, believing the grave opener to be a Madman 'with whom it woad be dan- gerous to interfere ebagle Landed, went for the gendarmee. Taese, on. approaching Broclaard, had to beat a temporary retreat, as he threatened them with his shovel; but, returning 20 the °berg° again, they Overpowered the man and carried him away. 33rocleard was found. to be sane enough. He defended his ghoullike doings in. the graveyard on the ground that a vital), had told him to get as it remedy for an abscess in the amid wleich the doctors could not ewe some "deed man's quinine." Tlais was to be obtained from the head, heart and oue of the fingers of a corpse. He accordingly started for the cemetery, inteuding to get part of the bedy of an old employer who was buried at Peuzanges. Not being able to find the grave of his former mas- ter, he opened that of the lately baried woman. Broelaard is kept a prisoner by the police, who SO far be- lieve that he is thoroughly responsible for his action. A CITY CASE. One of a Thousand Such Come to Light in the Queen City. .11.r.

Canada and one of the healthiest on the continent of Ameri- ca, but like everywhere else it has its victims of kidney disease. Neverthe- less it is safe to say, however, that these cases are seventy-five per cent. less common now than ten years ago, and but few of those that do exist are anything like so severe as formerly. This is due wholly and solely to the popular use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. Dodd's Kidney Pills have been found to be the only medicine that will cure Bright's Disease, the only crare for Diabetes, the only radical euro or Rheumatism, Lumbago, Scia- tica, etc., and equally efficacious for Heart Disease, Dropsy, Paralysis, Bladder and Urinary Troubles, Wo- men's Word:nese, Blood Disorders and any ether form of Kidney Disaese. Concerning their virtue for Lum- bago and Diabetes, Mr. Jahn Blow, 67 Princess $t., Toronto, says :—"I have been a great sufferer with Diabetes and Lumbago for years. Every rerae- dy I could hear of was given a fair trial in hopes it would help me. But till. I began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills my hopes were all in vain, and Tay torture night and day unbearable. Igo one could imagine the sufferings I endured; night and day ray pains kept me in misery. If seemed. as if there was neither relief nor cure. "When I began rising Dodd's Kid- ney Pills I had lost faith in all medi- cines. But from the first one of these Heaven-sent Dodd's Kidney Pills, experienced relief. Every succeeding dose hastened my complete cure. "I have used in all five boxes and am thoroughly cured -- a strong, healthy, 'hearty, *vigorous man, where- as before I started to use your Dodd's Kidney Pills I was a constant and miserable sufferer. I cannot find words to express my entire confidence in Dodd's Kidney Pills." Separate Towols for Children. TWo or more children should not be permitted to use the same towel.

We are not in the, liabit ot counting salt among luxuries, but to the dwea leas in Lapland it would be it very great luxury indeed, These people have no salt, and their substitnte for ibis raanufa.otared in so laborious a manner that it must be used very sparingly. The foundation of it Is the bark of the iir.treet but ie tom ee undergo autuy processes before it is at for use. First the bark 1 peeled from. the tree, and the inner bark, whicb, is the part used, carefully sep- arated fr,nn the outer. Tlais iimer bark is then divided into Olin layers, and during tlee excessively hot Lap- land summer is exposed to the stue until thorouglily dried. The next process is a peculiar one. The layera. of bark, torn WO narrow strips, are placed in. boxes made ef fresh bark from other trees, and the bark boxes and their a:ataxia, ;ere buried b. deep holes dug in the p.,and. For a day they are left to the influence of the sand alone, but on the second day Ares are lighted above the pits, and. kept burning briskly for several hours. The effect of the fires is tit beat the sand far down, so that it may act om the fir bark. This it does by turning it a red color and giving it a pleasant teste and odor. After three days the boxes are unearthed and the fir strips removed. Then comes the final process, the pounding and grind- ingi nto a course powder. The people use the powder as we do salt, but they are never so extravagant with it as we are. b.as cost them so much trouble to prepare it that they lase it sparingly. Row to Whiten the Neck.
