A ilespatch from Chicago says:

11 faith is the golden -rouged lad -
'der by which the 'soul climbs up to
the presenee of God, patience is the
gentle and never -tiring attendant
who keeps the soul waiting on the
threshold of God's will until the
Wessing is received. If unbelief is
the mist which shuts Gut the face
of God from the soul and blinds it
to the only safe path in Christ Jes-
es, impatience is the spade where-
with man digs the grave into which
are cast his peace of mind antl some-
times hie hope of Heaven, Patience
is a vi 1e of such glorious beauty
as to r, e Got' willing to be called
It God eatience. Impatience is a
vice wl h sputters and flashes in
the human heart mid life and causes
more unhaepiness anti shatters more
nerves than any other one thing. As
the emery put into the oil will soon
griud Out the finest bearings end
ruin the most costly machinery, so
impatience injected into tee machin-
ery of home, social and business life
will cut the smooth serfaces and
create discord anti trouble where
harmony before prevailed. Patience
Is constructive, but impatience is e-
lentlessly destructive. God's word
declae es that patience worketh ex-
perieuce, but the impatient man or
woman or (-held with shut eyes and
Deems pressed into the ears rushes
madly into the face of experience
curl never learns. Patience is to the
hunnen life what the conserving
forces of nature are to the earth
and the univerne. Patience pre-
vents wastefulness of allergy and
power; it guards ngainst destruc-
tive violence and disintegrating pro-
cesses. Patience is the safety valve
that keeps the boiler of human 'dy-
namics under safe pressure and pre-
vents the destructive explosion. Pa-
tience is the great flywheel that
keeps the engine of the daily exist-
ence running
TRUE AND STEADY.
Patience is a sum in addition, and
exceeding to Peter's formula, adds
to itself godliness or Godlikeness.
But in this on -rushing, restless age
the feverish hand of man has woven
into the fabric of his life the un-
happy wort' "impatience." lie has
chiseled the same word in the arch-
way white spans the entrance to
;liminess and industrial life, and as
le moves about he exhales an at-
nosphere which is heavy with tee
deadly miasma of impatience.
Seripture which speaks of God as
e God of patience calls attention to
tee patience of Jesus Christ, to the
patience of Job, and Paul refers to
hie own patience. The prophets are
held Op as examples ofemtience, and
the churches at Ephesus, Thyratira
and Philadelphia were commended
for teen patience. Even the pa-
tience of the Scriptures is declared.
This last is rather a peculiar ex-
pression,'but is fell of deep spirit-
ual meaning. It is most natural to
speak of the patience of Jesus
Christ, as we think of His 18 years
at the carpenter bench anti of His
three years of faithful ministry
while He faced the accursed death
upon the cross. We do not consider
it out of place for Paul to refer to
his own patience, as we follow him
his tedious and perilous mission-
ary tours and see how in every
niece he first sought out the Jews
and preached to them Jesus, despite
eheir bitter hostility and persecu-
tion. When James speaks of the
prophets as examples of patience we
can but say amen as we recall their
long-suffering patience in delivering
the 111OSSagO of Clod to a wayward
and perverse nation. When job is
raised to the pinnacle of iminan at-
tainment by the same inspired writ-
er. and is held out as the great ex-
emplar of patience outside of Christ
Himself, simple justice concedes hlin
the place without argument. But
when God speaks of the patience of
the Scripturee, the expression at
once challenges attention.
WHAT DOES IT 'MEAN?
It //teens that Cod's marvelous se-
cret of the redemption of man has
been gradually unfolded to the mind
and heart of man as fast as it was
safe site to 'do. The first promise in
Geeesis that the seed of the woman
Should bruise the serpent's head
held within its simple phrase the
germ from which was to spring the
glorious plant of salvation. As the
first faint blush of the 'dawning
morn prepares one for the coming
of the glorious sun, so this promise
spread a rose tint over the horizon
of man which awakened in his heart
the hope of a coming light. And
each new preemie() sent out its gleam
of light and prepared his vision for
the full blaze of glory of the Son of
Righteouseese as He rose with heal-
ing in His wings. And eerein
manifested the patirnee of the Scrip-
tures, in that they have so gradual-
ly, step by step, led man from the
deep valley of 'clettth ln sM outside
the Garden of Eder., up, up, over the
Way blazed by Enoch, Noah, Abra-
ham, Isaac and Jacob, Moses, David
and the prophets, until Calvary's
heights are sealed and the full glory
Of the cross bursts upon the human
There aro two pelages of this Mit
of impatienee to which we wish to
direct your attention; First, the one
of imPatlenee in Ohristiao eervire,
egainet which olir text Is eetteeially
iefiected; and mewed, the one of itn-
patienee in the secular things of the
daily life. We might designate them
as spiritual impatience and impa-
tience of the flesh. They both
spring from the Basile root. They
are both sinful. They both carry
their weight of sorrowful owe-
quenees. But spiritual impatience
too often passes for commendable
zeal in the Lord's work and appears
as a, virtue to those who see not
with the clear vision of Christ;
While the impatience of the flesh is
uot able to dieguise its presence,
even though it finds ready excuse in
the tryirg circumstances which gave
it birth.
SPIRITUAL IMPATIENCE'
arises front lack of faith and imper-
fect knowledge of God and His
promises. Impatience of the flesh
springs from a multitude of irritat-
ing conditions in the human life. It
soon becomes a habit which. sounds
out in the life 11 discordant strain,
and spreads an unwholesome influ-
ence upon all about.
What is more discouraging in
church or Sunday school than tho
impatient Christian who frets be-
cause plans do not work out just as
it was expected or purposed they
should ; who condemns associates
because they are not as faithful and
enthusiastic In the work as is he ;
who becomes weary in well -doing
and grows careless and indifferent
where souls are not won for Christ
as was prayed for and as there was
reason to suppose they would be ;
who loses faith in God's promises
when the blessing tads to come 011
the time set and in the way planned;
who in sanctimonious pride and self-
appointed zeal seeks to make God's
programme for Him, and then is
offended if the all -wise God fails to
carry it out in full detail ? 0, yes,
every church and every Semiday
school has its impatient Christian
Who is constantly creating discord
and trouble,
But let us consider this sin more
in Vail, and first of all we will
talk about, what we have been
forced to tell for want, of a better
name, Spiritual Lnpatience.- Our
text says "l"or ye have need of
patience, that after ye have done
the will of God, ye might receive
the promise." It is addressed to the
Christian. It boldly tInd plainly de-
clares that there is a lack in the
life which is destroying the beauti-
ful effect of doing the will of Gott
and is robbing the soul of the fruit
m'hich would surely be garnered in
the fullness of God's time.
Patience is the bridge which con-
nects the beautiful land of God's
will with the treasure house of Di-
• vine gifts. The obedient soul walks
faithfully through the land of Clod's
trill, and in the diseance can be seen
the certain reward of the promise.
But the bridge of patience must be
crossed before the coveted posses-
sion can be gained. Many a Chris-
tian succeeds in doing the will of
God up to the point where the
bridge of patience begins, and then,
instead of keeping the eyes stead-
fastly fixed upon the promise until it
Is reached, he grows impatient, and,
turning back, loses all the blessing
that comes from doing God's will.
Tho bridge of patience is the hard-
est part of the journey.
IMPATIENOle OF TEE FLESH,
Misguided human nature has come
to believe and feel that it has a
right to manifest impatience, In
fact it is viewed often in the light
of a passive if not an active virtue.
The impatient person is the least
conscious of anyone of the failing,
and almost always calls the fault by
a more dignified and respectable
mune. The Christian is in very
great danger of falling into this con-
dition in his attitude towards evil
and towards people who are living
in sin, He forgets how patient God
Is towards the sinner, and calls his
impatience righteous indignation, or
abhorrence of evil. Impatience, like
the spark which reveals the presence
of the powder keg, unmasks the
inner self, and with the roar of the
tempest the hidden passions flash
forth. Oh, that I might open your
eyes to the woes and troubles which
are hatched out in the incubator of
impatience I Cireek mythology tells
us that it was Pandora's curious
hand which released the imps of evil
in the world, but it is no mytholog-
ical tale but faithful history which
recounts the ills set adrift on the
current of human life by the lin.
patient. hand of man, Impatience is
a riotous fellow who is always stir-
ring up trouble. Impatience is a
heartless robber who steals away
the peace and leeppiness of the home,
the ennobling thought and Insperee
tion of the study, the success of the
office, the harmonious co-operation
of the mill and factory, the exhilar-
ating pleasure of the play -ground,
the agreeable, elevating atmosphere
of the social function. He steals
away a enan's judgment, riffee him
of his self-control, and then turns
him, loose an easy victen to the
horde of riotous fellows who follew
in his trail. Impatience 15 301011 a,

NORTHERN' HOSPITALITY.
How the Eskimos Treated a Ship-
el/reeked Crew.
Late in the year 1860 the ship
japan, under command of Captain
Barker, while trying to make her
ely out of the Arctic Ocean, doring
a severe enowstorm and gale, was
driven ashore on the north side of
Cape East. The officers and crow
were rescued by the coast Eekintos,
wbo at once distributed the .ship-
wrecked persons among the villages
along the coast, and kindly seared
with them, during the long wintele
their huts, clothing and food. In
describing the good qualities of
these people, Mr. Middleton Smith,
tells, in "Superstitions of the Eski-
mo," what this generous treatment
meant in the way of self-sacrifice
among the Teskunos.
As the summer of 1866 hael not
been favorable for the capture of the
walrus, and the ice during the win-
ter had hindered the teking of seal,
the food supply of these people Was
unusually small, and to take care of
and feed a whole shipweeeked crew
of thirty-two men, at a time when
they could scarcely obtain provisions
sufficient for their own families, was
a heavy task. When probable star-
vation stared them in the face, a
council of the little settlements was
celled to see whether they should
endeavor to keen these strangers
through the winter, or simply to
save thefr own people,
It was decided by this council that
as 'the strangers were throwe, by no
fault of their 0W1), upon their shores
and, as it were, placed ender 'their
care, they should have an equal
thence for life with themselves.
Captain Barker, of the Japan, tes-
titles that the Eskimo women, in ap-
portioning the food among his men,
frequently shed tears on account of
the seemliness of the amount, end of-
ten would increase the quantity by
adding portions of their own selizesss.
All through the long Arctic wintes

and entirely dependent upon these
people fer the food, clothing and
shelter which should enable them to
survive the Arctic frosts, worn giv-
en the best food that was to be lad,
and the largest share. Those of the
crew who were assigned to 'distant
villages also testify to having been
treated with the utmost kindness
and consideration.
Captain Barker did not learn until
the plenty of the following spring
made further fear unnecessary that
there had been any council, or any
spiestion among the Eskimos in re-

deed, it has been said that the pro-
cess of digestion commences before
ingestion, and certainly the diges-
tive functions are sti mu 1 at ed to
healthy activity by the sight of n,
tender and well cooked morsel as
well as by an excellent flavor or
aroma. .It has been shown that the
mere inepection of good, tempting
foods start the digestive machinery
and immediately excites the flow of
the gastric juice. It is, therefore,
not unreasonable to suppose that
there mast be a difference of some
dietic importance produced in the
°gigantism, when on one hand, a bak-
ed, heavy looking idiot is in con-
templation and when on the other,
it is a bright, attracteve looking,
because an openly roasted, joint.
As a senator of feet, there is a
great difference between the two' me-
thods of cooking, baking atfd roast-
ing. In the former case the meat 111
reality is cooked in hot air, which
has a tendeney to decompose the fat
into acrid substances. When the
door of an oven in which a joint is
cooking is opened, the fumes escape,
sneelling like a tallow candle which
has just been blown out. The smell
from. a joint being roested has not
this character, but on the con-
trary, is agreeable. en roasting, the
joint is cooko'cl by radiation — that
is, by the bombardment, so to
speak, of heat WEIVen. The air be-
tween the fire and the joint, might
be quite cool, yet roasting would
proceed all the same, Roasting alsio
is a, lees rapid method of cooking
than is baking are slow cooking has
very decided advantages in regard
to preserving the nutriteve value of
the meat. The nivilized took might
well learn a good deal from the me-
thods of slow cooking adopted by
eavage tribes.

PERILS OP' EAGLE HUNTERS.
It Is One of Most Dangerous of
Occupations.
Eagle hunting comes in the half-
way region between sport and em-
ployment, and as either it is one of
the most dangerous. To swing on a
rope down the face of a rugged pre-
cipice, in 'dagger of attack by the
fierce mother bied, and facing poesi-
bilities of death on the rocks, re-

is required as well us his daring and
cool judgment. For 'clays the eagle
tuay deceive the hunters who tun en-
timer:eine to locate the hidden nest.
The hunters are obliged to post
themselves in the neighborhood
where the eagles have been seen anil
epend hours and even deem scan-
ning the 1.01111n and mountain sides
with field glasses in searoh of the
nests.
A Swiss hunter named Anwheim
has accomplishe'cl one of the most
difficult tasks ever attempted by the'
eagle hunter. This was to capture
a nest located 200 yards high on a
wall of rock which measured 1100
yards. He arrange'd a pulley and
by means of n. rope 'strew himself up
to the height, placed the yourg in a
basket, an.d descended triumphant.
It is customary when a chase is
to be undertaken for the friends of
the hunters to give them a farewell
celebration. It is not a certainty
that they will return,
Generally an owl is used as a de-
coy to attract the attention of the
mother bird from the nest. Fre-
quently this device isinot successful,
as the eagle is watchful and 01)-

SUPERSTITIONS AS TO CAUSE,
Superstition once laid the muse of
the disease in dogs and wolves to
the bite of the ordinary skunk, re-
gardless of whether the skunk was
affected by tablets or not. Teo
"Inadstente" that some hunter had
taken from the stomach of n, deer,
long before, was an object of vener-
ation and awe over half a •tstecte.
Stories of how the stone would cling
to the wound made by a dog's teeth
if the animal were mad, and how it
would stick to the wound till it was
full of the virus, were to be read of
nearly every tveek in state papers..
Milk was the one agent to take
this green virus from the stone, af-
ter which the stone might be ap-
plied again and again until the sys-
tem was free of tho poisors. Fur-
ther, these was the current belief
that if a clog, not mad at the time,
should bite a person, and afterward
become the victim of hydrophobia
from any cause, the person bit even
years before would succumb to the
disease
Separating superstition and folk
lore from the teeth, tee medical fra-
ternity hits established the fact of
rabies, or hydrophobia, in dogs and
in other of the lower animals, and
it has been made certain that the
disease is transinissablo to 01011
from the bite of any one of these
footed mama's. It is needless GI
say, however, that the theory of tee
madstone has been repudiated; also
it is an absurdity that any after
condition of a dog that has bitten 0
person can affect the condition of its
victim beyond the first results of the
bite; and as for rabies being inher-
ent in the bite of the skunk, that,
too, has been marked for 1)lissolu-

creatures, he remarked the likeli-
hood of it because of the large num-
ber of people living in tents in that
section; at the same time, no exam-
ple of fatal consequences from ewe
bites came to his notice.
"That more cases propoetionately
may result from the bite of n. rabid
skunk than from the bite of a rabid
dog or rabid wolf is probable, 11 11,01
actually the case," he wrote. "An
animal nocturnal in its habits, gen-
erally then', but armed with a pow-
erful battery to resist any injury or
affront—one that will not bite until
the secretion provided by nature is
exhausted — loses that secretion by
the diecase. It is a well authenti-
