A• despatch from Chicago says
Res.!. Prank Do Witt 'Talmage preach -
ad frosa the following text : Psalm
xxiii, 2, "As the eyes of a maiden
Q' the band. of her mistreSs." •
t the housekeeper as well as
servant eon be negligent in her
Y there is no doubt. The psalm-
ist, as a Nair/teal diagnostician of
the heart's vveaknosses, asserts it.
He .figuratively seems to platet. the
texiatreas as a prototype beiore her
domestics, Then, as a young artist
orostees the epee to study at the feet
of the old masters and sits day 4n
and day out copying a Raphael's
"Sistine Madonna" or a Paul Vero-
nese's "Last Sulam" or a Iteubens'
"Dated -it From the ()rose" or a
Miehaol Angelo's "Leet Jedeanent,''
-She psalmist raises the mistrees Up-
on a pedestal as a model for the
servants. Day in and day out the
ructions of tho,. parlor are being 'du-
plicated in the kitchen. Adam
Clarks the great commentator, in-
terprets those words ;of my text in
the following way : "As servants
look to thole inasters and Mistresses
to see how they do their work, that
they may du it in the same way,"
so iney it'e correct _some of the evils
found 111 the kitchen by exposing the
evils hs'acticed in the parlor. All
virtues are not clothed in broad-
cloth. • AR feminine unfaithfulness
and injustice do not warm them-
seenear a kitchen stove or editor
ins'e stupid and stolid head with
a wait -rem' cap or neetle in the sel-
fish heart of the girl who., wearing
a nurse's apido, pushes the baby's
carriage along the •avenue. IS the
head 'of .the house wishes her ser-
• vants to be faithful and true to her
theit she must .first set an ekample
-of faithfulness. She inest be true
and kind, and •loving and Christian -
like to her servants and to all the
people with whom she c.crmes in con-
tact in her clumeetic walk of daily
life.
INCULCATE HONESTY I3Y PRE-
CEPT.
The housekeeper is her servant's
model. That implies that the mis-
tress roast be honest if eke wants
lecte• servants to be honest. Plato,
ii‘
tliNthiloeopher, once tried to con -
\Tee the idea that an evil man's
ads could be concealed, at least
i a time. He illustrated this
thought by the story of the fabled
-Gyges' ring, which could make tile
false actions of the wearer invisible
to the naked eye, "Thus," wrote
Plato the Clreek, "the trely honest
man is the one who would be hon-
est at all tittles when So could he
dishonest and his dishonesty never
be found out." Bet is each a con-
tiogency possible ? Who can ever
be sure that his dishonesty is safely
hidden ? The eyes of rivals, of
subordinates, of emplyees, are keen
and ece more than we know. They
are apt to imit.ate. too, both the
good and the bad, so that one
wrougdoer may cause deterioration
through whole circles of his social
inferiors. In the home, as in bus-
iness, the example of dishonesty has
"alwien:the tendency to recoil on the
' wrongnar. The merchant who con-
nives ateltis clerk's cheating of the
•cusioniers in his interests must not
be sorprieed if the clerks cheat biro
in their own het:creels If a farmer
knowingly sends false weights to
market, and when he is peeking a
barrel of apples places the good
apples upon the top of the barrel
and a lower grade of fruit beneath,
that farmer is teaching his farm
hands to be deceitful in their rela-
tions to him when they are gather -
Ing the fruit. ITe is teaching his
men to he as he has lied and be dis-
honest as he was dishonest. 3f the
bank officials criminally misplace
the institution's trust funds, tbere is
likely to come a time when one of
those bank employees_ will default,
and .in the emptied safe of that
ba.rik the sins of that financial in-
iLution. will, like the provetbial
thickeas. come home to roost. -
A step further ! If a 'housewife
will bid her waiting maid anewer
the front door bell and tell the
woulS be caller that she is out.
when she is in, that mistress is
teaching her servant to be a liar in
all things as well a,s in part. If a
Wile is false in her dealings with
her grocer and butcher and washer-
woman. and false in her financial
dealings with her servants, she need
not be surprised if the laundress
steals the stray handkerchiefs and
collard and the cook sinfully wastes
tbe butter and filches the cu,pboard,
,
'el perhaps goes so far as to sell
j potatoes and the eggs. If a
'tsewile, to protect herself, is mi -
t to her servants, and turns
t n off at a moment's notice when
-she is leaving for the country vaca-
tion, then she should not grumble
If her servants treat her be the ettlee
way.
DISHONESTY XS CON'SAGIO1TS.
. Dishonesty is contagious. DiShelle
esty is animmoral germ which is
Apt to spread through a Whole
Sapily as the diphtheria germ often
in the olden times used to destroy
all: the children of dug household.
The sinful plague of dishonesty and
untruthfulneses and unfaithfulness
Soes not always enter a home by
the back door, It is sometimes
conefortably installed in the boudoir
long before it appears iii the seta'
ventssaunters, and its first nap in
a honed:0140s taken upon the par-
1or sofaSand net by resting in a
kitehen ehair, The mistress, in
Spite of herself, is an eaemplar to
the doneeetic. Very often whoa the
houstewlt . is finding fault with her
servant. she is denouncing the mal-
formed remelt) of her °Van evil life.
"
ho hoesekeeper is the domestic's
model also in the matter, of syrna 1
Satins If •ate Wishes the eervantS
to be sympathetfc with her troubles,
then the housekeeper must So ern
Pathetie with theirs. :Her know-
ledge of her servants ought not to
be limited to their service. She
should take an interest itt tilde per-
sonal converns attd give theoCeesn-
eel and help in their difficulties.
Trials are the connnon lot of our
race.- The trials of the household
swill be all the easier to bear if. tile
housekeeper arid her servant meet
these with clasped hands; each call-
ing the ether her sister.
DUTY OF THIS HOUSESKEEPER:
Sympathy, Clod. givea, practical
eympathy, can becalt down many a

HONORABLE EMPLOYMENT.
csit a disgrace, as many women
seem to thinlait is, for a mother to
be soca wheeling- her baby carriage
along thestreet with her .own flesh
and blood in that carriage? For my •
own. part I thiek such a public sight
of a wife and mother is a far naOre
honorable one than for such a woman
to be seen carrying around a pet dog
or to be seen out dri ring with a
French poodle by he,' side. You may
smile if you will at the figure 1 have
drawn, : but 1 say unto you, oh,
wives' and mothers, that von ear
never get your servants to appreciate
the nobility of a domestic
until you yourself fully _realize that
the greatest work and the most hon-
orable work you can have is that '
which is to be found within the four
walls of a consecrated- hoMe.
'She housekeeper ts her serval, ts'
model. Then sho must give tothem
her love as well as her sympathy.
'Oh, no,- sweet housewife ansvrers,
sl could. not love my servants,
could sympathize with them itt their
troubles, lint I could not Ione them.
Why, if 1. loved them I should have
to receive them into the 'holy of
holies oi my heart. - I should -in one
sense have to make them part or my
own family. I cannot placemy ser-
vants side by side with my child -
Yes, my sister,you can love
as well as syin path ize with your do-
mestics. You cangive them our
hart • as well as your hand. You can
make them part of your household.
You can look upon your domestic
help in the same way that King .Sol -
onion looked upon his. .1•1e. was ver-
bally painting (he ideal . co n d ti on of
his home when he wrote, "And had
servants born' ill My- home." That
moans, as 1- take it, . that the son-
vants were part of _himself.. lf any
troubles' should come' those servants
would . cling to him and love him on
account of the love with Which he
loved them. You can learn to love
servants just the same as your ser-
vants can work for you from a high-
er motive than that of getting Mon-
ey. Tbey.can learn to love you.
CORDS OF AFFECTION,
Housewives, if you will only Ware
to love your servants • and make
their interests your interests, that
love would be returned to you in a
thousand blessings. We can prove
this lay the silver cords of affection,
which bound some of the southern
planters to their black slaves. Did
not those slaves returit thbir mas-
ters' love by a ndble devotion'? There
was many and many a Woman in the
south who, after her husband had
been shot in the civil war, would
bave starved to death had not the
strong limbed negroes who worked
for her as "slaves of the law" con-
tinued, on their ream free will, to
Work for her as "slaves of love."
There was many a wounded Confeder-
ate soldier Who 'would have died had
not his body servant, who easily
c.ould have escaped into the north-
ern lines, gladly and willingly and
prayerfully nursed him back to health
and strength, There is many a ser-
vant working to -day as a hireling in
some home who if she was loved by
her mistress would retern a Wealth
of allection and devotion such as she
herself does not believe, herself cap-
able of giving. The 'true interpreta-
Unit of love meats simply this; If
you love your servants; you will take
them into Your lifo and make their
ntereets your- interests, And by
your loving (lain they will let you
creep -into their hearts end Make
Your interests -their interests.
THE SERVANT OF ALL.
Oh, mistresses!- Oh, housewives and
housekeepers, in your dealings .with
your - servants may you reveal
• - .gentle • Christian life to
yoUr• household. In your prayers, ia
year consecration, in your family al -
tats, in the purity of your life, may
you always help your household ser -
• to look beyond the grave and
to look. up, Then, when, your dos
niceties,- thidigb. your ebristiati ex-
ample,. walk hand in bend with )esus
Christ there will be no "servant
question." Why? There shall be no
unfaithful and slothful domestics.
Housewives and 'housekeepers, heed
well the importance PS consecrating
your livee to Christ, not only for
year own sake, but also for the sake
ot your servants, - Remember that it
Is far owed.' for you to commit a, sin
against those, whom you suppose to
belower than you than it is against
those whom you SUppOSS Etre above
you. It le easier for a parent to
sin against e king. And remember
to dc•fy a parent, It is easier for. a
hing to do an open .wrong to a sal -f-
leet' than for a subject to flagrantly
lin against a king. And remember
further, that God judges our actions
just as Muth by how we' treat ' our
cattlo. as our masters, our underlings
as our dimloyers, our servants as
our husbandsand wives.. 'May the
Spirit- 'aspire every housewife tb live
such a holy life that her servants
can weli take her as a spiritual
model and can see in 11 -or .face a les
flect ion of the loving etnile of .Jesus
Christ, Who willinglSc. beeeme the ser-

said. * * Who will go down witl

d Iuis 1'ather and
cate a the king of Moah, he became
captain of ubout 400 distressed and
discontented men wbo gothesed unto
him. His owa brethren were also
among them (chapter xxii., 1-4).
Saul in his angee having, by the
hand of Deets, stela - eighty -fire
-priests, Abiathar escaped amt. told
David, tinct to 'him. David said these
111cent-it:ab1e words: "Abide thou with
me, feat not; for he- that seeketh my
life seeketh thy life, bid with me
thou sluelt be in safeguard" (xxii.,
28). Probehly many years Of David's
.nersecntions are coveredby the
words, "And Saul sought him every
day, but Cod delivered hint not into
his heed" 11). But in the
twenty-fourth chapter, as well as in
out lesson, Saul is seen in David's
Power to do with as he will, and in
each caee Daeid raiment good for evil.
David having been assured by spies
that Saul had in very dead come

volunteer to accompany him to

God bath delivered. thhie enemy into
thine -hand this clay; now therefore
let, me :elate him, 1 pray thee, with
10V spear, even to the earth at
once, and 1 will not smite him the
eeeoittl time.
llaving conic to Where Saul and his
people were by night they find them
sleeping, and Abisbni thinks that
this is David's Clod given Opportun-
ity to slay his enemy, and he wil-
lingly oilers So be .ilet exeditionce.
This same Abishai wanted to take
Shimei's he -ad off when lie dosed
Raved and threw stones at him. He
it was -also who delivered David
from the giant ishbibenob. and slew
him. (II. Sam. xvi., 5, 6, 0: xxie 16,
17). Ile was it valiant, natural man,
but did not -seem to know much of
the gracious long suLTering of Jeho-
vah.
9-11. David said furthermore; As
the Lord liveth the Lord shall smite
him or his day shall come to die .or
he shall descend into battle and per-
ish. The. Lord forbid that I should
stretch forth mite hand against , the
Lord's anointed.
Such confidence had David in his
God that he could leave every one
and everything. in ihitt hand without
anxiety, sure that the couesel of the
Lord wouldstandand the counsel of
His enendes be brought to naught.
Therefore he could say, . not as a
mere theory, but. from his own ex-
perience:. "Fret not thyself because
of the evildoers, for they shall soon
be cut dowtt like the grass and with-
er as the green herb. Rest in the
Lord and wait patiently for Him"
(Ps. xxxvii., 1, 2, 7).

nt,t'evep sleep from the Lord was fal-
len upon them.
• David's . suggestion . to • Abishai was
that they take the spear and demo
frcea Sattl's head„ which they did,
and going a good 'dista,ace- away
doled out. to Abner, the captain of
Seed's 'host, that he was a valiant
moo, but had not taken good, ear°
of his master, for he might . have
been slain by erie asho took away
the trpear and .cruse from his nats-
ter's head. • nte reason of their
being able to do this' was that the
Lord bad, caused special sloes/ to
come uppn theie.

David's desire for full 'deliverance!
billege to mind these words of Paul,
"The Lord shall deliver me from
every evil work .and will preserve
me unto Elis heasenly kingel'om, to
whom be glory for over and ever.,

and also shalt still prevail. So •
David went on his way, and Saul!

HUGE BLAST.
The quarry at Dalmeny, on Lord
Iloseberry's estate, in Scotland. was
recently the scene . of the largest
blasting operation which • has ever
been carried out ineScotland, if esti-
mated by the nuinber of holes which
were fired at one time. Twenty-sev-
en holes, varrying in depth from 6
ft. to 17 ft were bored, and these
were charged with 390 lbs, of blast-
ing gelatine. All the holes were con-
nected up and fired simultaneously by
electricity, the blast brieging down
altogether about 4,000 tons of whin -
stone, an unusually largo weight of
stone per pound of explosive used.
A LADY SHIP DOCTOR.
Mite Sarah Broido, a young lady
doctor, has obtained a professional
engagement on boald a steamer ply-
ing between Marseilles and Algiers.
The circumstance is to be noted as
Mlle Broido is the first French "doc-
toress" who has been engaged on

great care to reject every bit of the
white, which is very bitter.
Pour the grated rind into a bot-
tle, and cover it with aleohol. Cork
tightly and set away for three weeks,
when it will be found ready for use.
To make the extract extra strong,
drain the alcohol from the rind after
three weeks, and pour it over fresh-
ly grated peel, rejecting the first
rind and use like any 'lemon extract:
Instead of clear alcohol, one can use
eta:m.1 parts of alcohol and simple
syrup, using_in the recipe the same
as the alcohol.
If one doesn't care to make the ex-
tract in this way, it is still possible
to make a substitute for the store
article, which will give good results
at little expense. Purchase of a drug-
gist five cents worth of oil of lemon,
and use it by the single drop, in
recipes where a teaspoonful of lemon
extract is called for, or dilute the
oil by adding simple syrup until it
seems as weak as ordinary lemon ex-
tract.
Orange extract is made by soaking
orange peel in enough alcohol to
cover it, and then adding the strain-
ed juice of one largo orange. The
use of orange and lemon flavoring itt
the same cake makes a pleasing
change.
Vanilla. extract is more expensive
to make than the others, but it is
also much more difficult to purchase
vanilla flavoring, a very little of
the made flavoring will flavor a pud-
ding, cake, or a freezer of cream and
when it is once used one sees the ad-
vantage of making it at home,
Purchase of a druggist one-fourth
of an ounce of vanilla beans, one-half
ounce of tonka beans, and one-half
pint of alcohol; boil and cool one-
half pint of clear water, and put
it, with other ingredients, into a bot-
tle; cork tightly, and scar away for
two weeks. Then add one-fourth of
a pint of water, boiled and cooled,
and one-fourth of a pint of alcohol;
set away a week longer, strain, bot-
tle and it is ready for use. Use only
