This was the seventh day of the feast of tabernacles, the regular Hebrew thanksgiving Seethed,; bat it was such a thanksgiving as carnes at the close of a year when blight and drought had devaelated the country.. The people had left behind them scorabed fields, small crops, poor cat- tle, poor vegetables and fruit, to go up to give thanks to God in a temple whicl: was as yet little more than walls half -built on heaps of ruins. They were disheartened, and for good cause. Came the word of the Lord by the prophet Haggai, : It land come, as we have seen, a little before this in the form of a terrible arraignment of the nobles and the rich who had cared for their own luxury while ne- glecting o-glecting God's worship, and who, as we learn elsewhere, heartlessly wrong- ed their poorer countrymen.

STEEL ARCHES COLLAPSED, Slx belied by the Fall of the 5nperslrne. lure of a Memo Building. A despatch from Chicago says:— Twelve steel arches, Niels weighing 83 tons, which were to have supported the superstructure of the Coliseum building, in course of erection on Wa- bash avenue, between 16th and lath streets, fell to the ground late Mon- day afternoon. It is known that six lives were crushed out. The bodies of these men are supposed to be under the wreckage. Severn are in the hos- petal with injuries received, and of these two will surely die, one may pos- sibly recover, and the rest are for the greater part seriously injured. Nearly all the men who were killed were at work on top of the arches, 40 feet above the ground. Some of them made futile attempts to slide down the side of the arches, but before they could save themselves they wore hurl- ed to the ground. Fully 50 men were at work in the space covered by the arches as they fell. FREED FROM RUSSIAN PRISON. Noblealnn Cuademned for Murder 1s Found. to be Ouweent. A despatch from Moscow says: --The Government on 'Tuesday ordered the release from' the penal colony of Sagha- lien, of a young nobleman, Alexander Telma, who; was condemned in 1895 for the alleged'murder and robbery of his aunt, the miserable widow of Gen. Boldyreff, and the burning of her house, to hide the crime. A brass -smith named Kartxiff, having been arrested the other day for another crime, con- fessed that( he bad robbed and murder- ed the. woman. The story was corrobor- ated by( the finding in the lining of his coat cd 1,000 railway shares registered in thel name of Gen. Boldyreff. Karpoff will soon be brought to trial and Telma is to bs returned immediately to bis young wits, . , a; decade and a hall ago. To Haggai's views the two temples ars one. 1s et not In your eyes in comparison of it as nothing? This temple, as we saw in e01' last lesson., was larger than that DI Solomon's, but it was built of ,Cheap - eel material, It was without the mys- tic treasures of the -Holy of holies. 1•t probably was dettoient in architectur- al beauty, and, most striking of all, it was unfinished. There probably was a real temptation to the Jews to wait till they got rich to build a temple worth having. Their Lorefathers had done this; why not they t 4. Be strong. This exhortation is addressed to ,Zerubbabel, to Joshua, and to all the people of the eland. Few exhortations are mole frequent in the Scripture than exhortations to courage lend( to faith, I am with you. 11 Gad to with thein he is a larger 'femme than silver and gold. 5. The word that 1 covenanted with you tiubsn ye onme out of Egypt, That ",word" was, "I am with you." Israel was to be Jehovah's people .and Je- hovah; was to be their God. So my Spirit remaineLh among you, Their whole history was evidence of this, and they; had really no reason, in spite of their uncomfortable surroundings, to fear. 6. Yet once, it is a little while, and 1 will shako. " One little period, and the marvelous revolution will begin." The heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land. The miracles at Gibson, at the Red Sea, and in other places, where 'neral evidences that God has so shaken the world in the past, But his shaking now was to be more than storm or earthquake; it was a swaging of the hearts of the na- tions. 7. I will shake all nations. Ths wars of Alexander pie Great stirred around all oriental life ; the old races, most of them, became practically extinct, and a newt world arose 'on the ruins of the old. And the desire of all nations shall come. That is, come to Zion. As Israel had. been made a slave by Egypt and an exile- by Babylon, now all na- tions were(to actasslaves and purvey- ors toe Israel. I will find in this house with' glory. "the coming of the nations involved the bringing of their gifts, involved also their reverence of ;Telma vele. That this text carries with it the thought of the coming of the Messiah as the desire of the nations, and the teachings of Jesus as the new glory with which the temple was; to be fill- ed„ is an interpretation not without difficulty, but it may well be included in the. meaning. 8. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine. God, who created all wealth. can control it, 9. The glory of this latter house shall be greater theft( of the former. In literal sense this was fulfilled, for though Solomon's temple may have been as costly in its material as that of Herod, in Herod's time and later, as never before, the Gentiles poured their wealth into Jerusalem, Of course Christians must find the fullest ful- fillment of 1 his 'text in the presence of Jesus. In this plane will 1: give peace, in spite of tbe convulsions tvlticli would destroy nations, the. house of Plod should not be overthrown; and there was a large fulfillment, for 11 was within the ehadow of the. walls of this temple that the Prince of peace said to hie followers in ell generations, Peace T leaven with yeti, pence I give unto you;; net as the world giveth give I unto] you. Prof. John Weisley Brooks, . of .Brantford, bus issued a writ against Isaac Walsh, a baker, for 02,000 dam- • ages for alleged slander Mr. Brooks is it phrenologist by profession, Walsh's opinion of him is not very exalted, hence the cause of action. , It is reported that the statement of the Bangles Ville Marie affairs pre- sented by the Canadian Bankers' As- sociation showed that no less than 952,000 had been charged by' the bank for expenses in connection with the forcing of its eirculation.

Large Sums Offered. to Secure Births ea the Steamers. A despatch from London says: This city is crowded with Americans, who express an intense desire to return home, and are unable to do so, The steamship offices are crowded to the doors every day, and the affioials are worried out of their lives tbrougb their efforts to satisfy applicants for passages. The situation would be even worse if many had not returned earlier than usual. Even with the extra steamers, the Cunard line is turning away money, In many cases extraordinary sums have bean offered for cabins or mere berths. Every particle of space on the Oceanic, which begins herm:iden trip on September 6th, is already taken. One hundred and fifty guineas for a cabin is almost a common pries. , BIG SMASH INST. PETERSBURG _ A panlonx Rnsslan Capitalist Leser Over sxa.osx.000. The London Leader to -day publishes a despatch from its St. Petersburg cor- respondent, saying that the suspen- sion of M. Vond.erveiss, a millionaire of that city, has produced a depress- ing effect on the Bourse and in finan- cial circles. His capital was esti- mated to have been between 60 and GO million roubles, but after his debts are paid he will scarcely have six mil- lion roubles left. His fortune has been largely sunk in a group of un- dertakings, each one supporting the other. He regarded one of the most important systems of railroads in Russia as his own, and he was connect- ed with this road and with a number of steamers plying on the Volga and the Caspian Sea, a machine faotor'y, an in- surance company, a cement factory, and a number of smaller coneerns, among other interests. It is thought the failure is likely to ruin many other bouses, including Ihat of it Moscow capitalist named Mamatouw, who has suspended for 24,- 600,000 roubles. PLAGUE PRECAUTIONS. Special Arrangements Made at, the Eng. nth Ports. A despatch from London, says:— Special precautions are being taken at Southampton and other English ports in regard to the bubonic plague and yellow fever.

CONTRACTORS' LUCK, A Tacoma, Wash., special to the Min- neapolis :Gimes seas:—While grading on the Canadian Pacific. extension in Bri.ish Columbia, Contractors Macken- zie and Mann have uncovered great ledges of ore, running high in copper, gold, and silver. They are making good progress on railroad contracts, but present indications ars that the mineral discoveries will pay them far better. A mining expert who bas just toms from British Columbia says that ono ledge alone will make then mil- lionaires. This ledge was found near Cascade, a new town on the Colum- bia and Western railroad, which the Canadian Pacific is building 010m 1 Roseland into the Boundary Creek dis-1 Ore aroppings were discovered some time ago, but it was only 10 days ago that the ledge itself was uncover- ed by the graders. It has not been thoroughly exploited, but has been stripped sufficiently to show it ex- ceeds 50 feet in width. Assays from near the surface gave values of -940 to 950 per ton, making it practically eel - lain another Le Rol or Republic mine has been discovered. Maekonzie and Mann have filed locations on the pro- !terry, and will soon begin its devel- opment. They have declined a large sum for it. Two smaller ledges have been uncovered by the grading crews, giving promise of making good mines. THREW LETTER TO THE (iEUEN. Thought This the Hest 'Way to Somme a 5etrlatl of His fast', A despatch from London says :—A man, evidently a German, was arrest- ed on Wednesday evening for throw- ing a letter into the Queen's carriage while her Majesty was driving. The letter WAS a harmless request to the Queen to procure a new trial of a case decided against the writer. The men was liberated, es he said he did not know he was breaking the lawn as was a eomman maxillae on the oontln- enc to throw messages into the royal carriage. SIX DO8E8 WILL CHIME THE MOST IROe6EDULOUa Newspaper editors are almost as sceptical as the average physician on the subject of new remedies for siok people. Nothing short of a series of most remarkable and well authenti- cated aures will inoline either an editor ora doctor to seriously consider the merits honestly claimed for a medicine. Hundreds of testimonials of won- derful recoveries wrought with the Great South American Nervine Tonio were received from men- and women all over the country before physicians began to presoribo this great remedy in chrome cases of dyspepsia, in- digestion, nervous prostration, sick headache, and as a tonio for build- ing up systems sapped of vitality through protracted spells of sick- ness. During his experience of nearly a quarter of a century as a newspaper publisher in Paris, Ont., Editor Col- well, of ,The Paris Review, has pub- lished hundreds of columns of paid medicine ad vertisements, and, no doubt, printed many a gracefully - worded puff for his patrons as a matter of business, but in only a mingle instance, and that one warrant- ed by his own personal experience, has he given a testimonial over his own signature. No other remedy ever offered the public bas proved Inch a marvellous revelation to the most sceptical as the South American Norvino Tonic. It has never failed in its purpose, and it has cured when Sold by G. A. Deadman.

The men will sleep and eat aboard her.

"I was prostrated with a pardon. early severe attack of ' La Grippe,' " says Mr. Colwell, '' and could find no relief from the intense pains and die. tress of the malady. I suffered day and night. The dootors did not help. me, and I tried a number of meth. cines, but without relief. About this, time I was advised to try the South American Nervine Tonic. Its effects were instantaneous. The first dose I took relieved me. I improved rapidly and grew stronger every day. Your Nervine Tonic oured me in a single week." The South American Nervine Tonic rebuilds tate life forces by its diroot action on the nerves and the nerve centres, and it is this notable• feature which distinguishes it from every other remedy in existence. The: most eminent medical authorities now concedethat fully two-thirds of all the physical ailments of humanity arise from exhaustion of the nerve forces, The South American Nervine Tonio acting direct upon the nerve centres and nerve tissues instantaneously supplies them with the true nourish. meet required, and that is why its• invigorating offeots upon the whole system are always felt immediately, For all nervous diseases, for gonerat debility arising from enfeebled vital. ity, and for stomach troubles of every variety no other remedy Dan possibly take he ulnae PRACTICAL ABANDONMENT.

Ihr'spepsla. If business men would only remora- ber how deadly it is to take one's mid. day meal alone they would always dine it1 company. The solitary eater is al- ways tempted to take too large mouth- fuls and swallow them too quickly, and either tee eat too much or too little. These who eat in company have to devote a certain amount of time in talking and attending to each other's wants. This makes the period be. tween the mouthfuls Longer, and gives more time for digestion.
