PRACTICAL SURVEY., • This lesion is a, apart of certain instructions that Jeans is giving His disciples whom Ile calls servants. Thee duty: of watchfulness, as here taught applies not only, to them and all ministers of the gospel, but also to all. ?Me cafe attitude is not so much readiness for death as readiness for service ; or., better etill, readiness int service, clothed, girded, illuminated, with ev.etyt preparation complete. We should so live that elf is well with us note, so that should we be suddenly' called we would have no wrongs to reetifyl, no confessions to make, no duties neglected, no •re- geets to express. A minister was standing ono day in a t illage post - office, when he observed a man•drive up in great haste. Alighting, he tushed into the office, past the won- dering bystanders, right up to the post.tmeleeti;s books,and laid his band on the books and said to the aston- ished man, "1 am. a United States poet -office inspee'tbr and must see your books." There was so time to put things in •shape, to correct any' mistakes, or make ante e'lsange should h.e has de•siend to do so ; but Sortun- ately for that official's peace of mind, .he bard •evetything all right. '"Osery: well," he coolly ,said; „here they are, sir. Go ahead." The blessedness oa God's true and raithSul ,servan'tsie next brought out. 'Taal; their Lord shall serve them had been 7oreshadowed in His .wash- ing His .dist>iples' feet. "It would seem," as .obs •expresses it, "that in the fulnessiof His grace and love, tie will invert the order of human re- quirement .and serve %them." The dangers -of unbelief are ma.ni- fold, for 'unbelief lies 'backs of every •Fln', In this case it 'first leads :the unfaithful servant to say "My Lord •delayeth his 'coxnIng."- Ile is 'thrown off his guard and becomes careless and idifferent. This easily leads him to the next step, wihicb1 is to de- velop an intense selfishness which .in'akes him .overbearing and cruel to t hose over irvih'ow' lie has authority, and from that he speedily sinks into vice and ctebeachery. As a nation hotel utterly unfit ase we at the Present time to render an accouut o'1 our Oen +stewardship, when we remember the awful: and increasing extent of the liquor traf- fic: There are ab'o'ut 23,,000 liquor dealers and about 1,200,000 bartend- ers in'the United States, a .fore liquor is sold in one year( than there pork, wheat and corn combined. The cost a liquior for one 'year is elear- ly twice as much as the capital of all tire' national .banks. Annually, 13,000,000 b'uslrels of grain are clic tilled. In 1895 the output of silver was $64,000,000, the tariff receipts were 112"3,,,000,000, and the cost of all departments of govcrnmenut was $375,000,000; while the drink bill of t his republic war $1,025,000,000. These figures are simply stupendous. The physical and moral results of this condition of affairs are shoova by the fact that, in' (one state, •o'ut of '9,,»31) insane people, 5,186 cases are ,traced to liquors; of 10,3435 crim- inals, 12,596 were drunk when they broke the lays. In• addition; to all this, eighty per oent. of all pauper- ism' is chargeable to tills' Malteds traffic. Will not God visit us in judg- ment for these things '1 1 'believe .he will, unless ars a people: we quick- ly repent. The worst feature of the • cage is that the average{ Christian voter considers other ciues.tio.ns of more importance than he does, the temperance •qu•estien,. What a surprise to have tile. Lord appear jest when the servant( was utterly unprepared for it, when' he thought himself secure; coming to settle at such a time, .and fix 'his i door's, and "appoint him his portion with unbelievers!" It would seem tot bo a. three fold punishment.-Lanson H. Mulholland. BARS UNDESIRABLE ALIENS., Immigration mil Passes Second Read- ing 111 British House.

Was Frustrated at Kingston Penitentiary. A Bogus Nun Smuggled in a Thousand. Dollars. The Trick Was Detected by a Vigilant Guard. Kingston despatch 1 Long after, the entrance of Duilman,'Weise and No- lan, the Welland Canal dynamiters; into the penitentially; here, a ,special! guard did duty; otitside the wall's ati night, fears being entertained that! an attempt would bo made to effect the escape of these dangerous men, There was geed grounds for that' Precaution, as several things oes cuered at the time to cause very) grave susjlicion. The friends of these prisoners evidently; tired of looping fol; such a thing as helping the dynamiters to "break prison," and finally! adopted other means, nothing less than working from the inside. A plot wps put in action months ago, but was nipped in its That stages. Particulars of it were wall hushed up, but the story; has now leaked out. It ,seems that one day two nuns entered the penitentiary; for spiritual converse with the pri- soners. A guard saw, one df them .put a package in the hands OSS 'the •dynamiters„ and when they had gone a search was made. It was discover- ed that the package contained a large sum of money. Most of it had disappeared, however, and not much was recovered. The amount in the package was supposed to have been $1,000, to be used in an attempt to bribe the guards. Tare prisoner to whom the money was given had some of it hid- den in the lining of lris boat, and is took a long time to find the Inyls- teriously xniseing bills. The peniten- tiary authorities began an investi- gation. It was discovered that one of the nuns walls a bogus one, who had duped the Kingston Sister into a cco.mp4a.nying her on her prison vieit. Tate disguised nun wee traced to U3ochest er N. 1:., to Con ceosion' street. Detectives were employed, and found that the money had come from an English woman, who had married a wealthy' Italian. The affair scene to have been then dr'op'ped. Nolan, one of the dynamiters, on being recently ,spoken to, declared that no Fenian organization had anything to do 'with their attempt to blow up the Welland Canal. SISTERS DENY IT.

Department of Agriculture, Some good advice on the management of Working horses is given by Mr. W. S. Spark, the English expert who has for some months been acting as lecturer on horse breeding and judge of horses for the Live Stock Division, Ottawa. Work. - Ilr. Spark points out that muscles, tendons, ligatnents and the res- piratory organs •may by patient, con- stant and increasing use be gradually brought to perform safely an amount of work and to support a strain Which, 'without such progressive training, they would be wholly unable to stand. The power of doing wore and of sustaining fatigue is, if we may use the expression. cumulative. Provided that the horse be kept in good condition, it increases from day to day and from year to year, until from age tile animal powers begin to fail, Regularity of exercise is also an important element in the development of the highest powers of the horse. The horse in regular work Will suffer lees than another, for he becomes gradually and thoroughly accustomed to what is required of him. The whole living ma- chine aecomodates itself to the regular demands upon it, the body becomes ac- tive and well -conditioned, without su- perfluous fat, and the muscles and ten- dons gradually develop. Horses in regu- lar work are also kept neatly exempt from the many accidents which arise: from over -freshness. Grooming. -The grtestion is often ask- ed, 'Why does tate stabled horse require constant groming, whilst the same horse turned out in a acid does very well without it?" It is not the fact of living under cover, but the active work and the high feedinrr of the stabled horse, which necessitates grooming. 11 is the work and the food, not the shelter. which constitutes the difference between the domesticated animal and the horse in the state of nature. By work, and especially by fast work, the secretions of the glands of the skin are largely in- creased. Nature mast be assisted by artificial means to remove these in- creased secretions. or the pores of the Skin will become clogged and the health will be deteriorated greatly. The greater the action of the skin, the greater must he the attention paid to it. As long as the horse remains in a state of nature, taking only the exercise required for gathering his food, and feeding only on laxative diet. grooming is not needed, because the debris of the food and the excretions of the system are carried off mainly by the aeticoll of the bowels and kidneys. men who have been drivin r or working horses, make a practice, if they get a chalice. when bringing their horses home in a heated and fatigued state, to ride thein tnronen at pond or ford until the water reaches the bellies of the animals. They are then brought into the stables, and a feed thrown in front of them, and the horses are often left in that state without anything more being done. Instead of that treat- ment, .tire 11orsee should not be allowed to wet their legs above the knees; and after the 118300ss line' been taken off, they should be carefully rubbed down and dried from the carr to the fetloeks, after which they may be fed. it fre- gnently happens that farm borsee are, kept too long ;1t work without bciuer feel, and after a fast of this kind they ate gorged. Hearty feeding after a fast of this kind is very apt to bring on in- digestion, colic, or inflammation of the bowels. :Many people appear to 'nagine that it. is unnecessary to groom farm horses regularly and thermhly. This is a very great mistake. Grooming is conducive to the health of the horse as well as to its outward appearance. At- tention to this will tend to prevent many diseases,. such as cold. bronchitic, and affections of the lungs, to which horses are ver'- liable wilen they Savo been left standing undried after conning in heated and wet with perspiration or rain, or both at the saute time.

Trade in wholesale circles at atom - trial is showing a little more ac- tivity now. There is a better sort- ing demand for seasonable geode Large shipments are being made to eastern and western points. Con- tinued warns spring weather is needed to ,stimulate the demand -for seasonable goods. The market for dairy produce is disappointing. Rail- way earnings. are increasing again. The disaetroue fire at Toronto this week, which burned out 123 business firms, destroyed many of the fin- est homes of mercantile and manu- facturing houses, caused a lose of. 110,000,000 to X13,000,000, on which there was $8,000,000 to $9,- 000,000 insurance, and threw 3,000 to $1,000 hand's out of emplo.v,menti has greatly, u-nsettled the trade sit- uation in this city'- Spring business is now Iairi_y active. Values of staple goods are Firm. At Quebec Retie change is percep- tible in general trade from that of the preceding week. The backward- ness of the season has been against the demand for seasonable wear. At Victoria and Vancouver whole- sale trade is improving. There Is a. fair inquiry from the provincial min- ing districts. The outlook for 'the' jobbing trade is promising. In 'Winnipeg trade is improving again after •the snow storms of Iast. week. Seeding operations are being resumed. Many: new settlers con- tinuo to arri-e. Collections are bet- ter. The sorting demand, especially, in. dry goods, at Hamilton hats been brisk this week, as reported to Eradstreet's. Itetailers are anxi- ous now to ,get their etocks well as- sorted and the disastrous fire at To- ronto naturally increased the in- quiry; among Hamilton wholesale houses. In ether lines there is the steady development usual with the spring conditions of trade. Values aro firmly, held. London wholesale trade Is getting more active. The country roads are not in very' good condition. ,The• outlook for business is good. There bas been a steady improve-• nient in some departments of trade. at Ottawa the past week. Ship- ments are now quite heavy. Valuers of staple geode are firm. "May Physicians told me .I Must [Die, but South American Kidney Cure eared me of that awful Bright's Disease."
