THE HURON EXPOSITOR* was passing he would hail it and- make for it a comfortable covering, for he had the hammer and ,the pegiroand the shoe Lists, and the lapstone, and the leather to de it. And when he saw the invalid foot pass he would hail it and go out and offer medicine and crutch and helpfulness. And when he saw the aged foot pass he 'hailed` it and told the old man of heaven, where he would be young again. When he saW the foot of childhood pass on the sidewalk, he would go out with geed adviee and a laugh that seemed like an. echo of the child's laugh. Well, time went on, wades the shoemaker's wants were very few he worked but little for hirieself and most of the time for others, and .In tho long even- ings, when he could not so well see the feet passing on the _sidewalk, he would make shoos of all sizes and etand them on a shelf, ready for feet that would. pass in the daytime. Of course, as the year went on, under this process • tee shoemaker be- came more and more Christian, until ono day he said to himself: "I wish among all those foot passing up thereon the sidewalk I could see the feetof the dear Christ pass- ing. Oh, if I could only seo his feet go by, I would know them, because they are scar- red feet." That night the 9hoemakcr dreamed, and in the dream ho saw the glo- rious Chr•ist, and he said, "0 Christ, I have been waiting for the to pass on the sidewalk, and I have- seen lame feet, and wounded feet, and. aged feet, and poor feet, but in vain have I looked for thyscarred feet." And Christ said to the shoemaker; "Man, I did pass on the sidewalk, and you did -see my feet, and you did come out and hail me and bless me and help me. You thought it was the foot of a poor old man' that went shuffling by; 'that was my foot. You thought it as the foot of a soldier that went limping past; that was my foot. You thought that shoeless foot was the foot of a beggar; that was my foot. The shoes, the clothing, the medicines, the cheering ,words that you gave to them, you gave to your Lord. 'Inasmuch as ye hails, done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto me. " Go Forth and Help 'Others. My hearers, with the humble spirit of that Russian mechanic let us go forth and help others. Having shoyed back the car- buncle gate for yourself to pass in and pass on and pass up, lend a hand to others that they also may get through the red gate and pass in and pass en and pass up!. But mark well and underscore with heaey dashes of the pen the order of the gates. Gate of carbuncle before gate of pearl. Isaiah the prinee saw the one gate centuries before St. John the exile ,saw the other. The one you must push open. The other stands open. Gate of a Saviour's atonement before the gate of divine par - den. Gate of poverty before gate of afflu- ence. Gate of earthly trial before gate of heavenly satisfaction. Through much tribulation you enter the kingdom of God if you ever enter it at all. But heaven will not be so much of •a heaven to those who had everything in this world. A man who had everything in this world eaters heaven, and the welcoming engel appoints such a newly arrived soul to a mansion, and say, "Go in and live there. That rnansion is yours forever.' That man thinks to himself, "Why, I have for many years lived in a mansione a mansion is no noveley to me." The welcoming angel ap- points some ono prospered of earth to the honors of heaven, the coronets and thrones. The soul thinks -to itself, "I had more honors on earth than I could appreciath and crowns are heavy things to wear, any- how." The welcoming angel appoints some prospered soul of earth to a line land- scape in the heavenly country and says, "Walk there and enjoy yourself." The soul thinks to itself, "the place ,I owned on the Hudson" or "the castle I had on the Rhino was almost as picturesque, and then I cannot see the sunset on the river, for it is here everlasting day and the sun never sets." The Orchestra of Het.ven. The welcoming angel says to some new- ly arrived soul, "Listen. HOW Lo the music; the orchestra of heaven is about to render one of the best oratorios." Theo soul would think, "Why, I have been hearing the best music for 80 years On earth. Almost every winter I heard in ehe Academy of Music the 'Creation,' the `Messiah' and 4Jeph- thah.' I have heard all the great living prim. a dermas and some who are dead." Let the welcoming angel then say to a prospered soul of earth, "Go now and rest; this is the everlasting rest. " "Why," the . soul would think, "I am not tired. Why do I want to rest? I have not dons a stroke of work for the last 20 years. I spent My winters in Florida and my sum- mers in the Adirondacks, and I am not in need of rest." My hearers, heaven will not be so much of a heaven for those wen had no struggle on earth. But when theta weo had a bard push with the red gate of my text, the gate of carbuncle, coine to the gate of pearl and find it wide open, thej will say: "Why, how strange this Is! This is the first gate of valuable entrance) in 40 years that I have found open." And the welcoming angel will say to scone Chris- tian mother who reared a lerge family of children taid prepared them for usefulness and heaven, "Go where you please and sit down on what velvet bank or cushioned throne you may prefer." And I hear the newly arrived seed saying, "Oh, my! What a good thing it is to rest. . I was so tinsel. I was tired for 40 years. Angel, tell me, is this an unbroken rest? Can it be that there are no sick children to take care of?My head was so tired, planning for the household on small means, my eyes were so tired with sewing and knitting, my bank aehed with doing work that made use stoop for so many hours. There was nothing in the universe 1 so much needed as rest. Now I have it. Beamed jesusi Blessed heaven! Blessed rest!" Then the welcoming angel will say to some Chris- tian that en earth was deg and had not heard wilco of song or voice of friendship, "Hark tw to the 'choirs in, white as they are abo,6e to join in the opening piece of the temple worship." And as the baton swings and as the deft fingers begin to feel the pulses; of the harp and lips of martyrs breathe ea the eat lutes of praise, I hear the surprised.. soul, just entered heaven, saying; "Musie! Whyothat is the first I ever heard.. Will it keep on? Tell them not ' to stop. What is the name of that an- them? Why, I never beard anything like that. I never heard anything at all," The Climate of HCATC11. And a littie child, long ago in heaven., pulls at the white robe and says, "Moth - or!" and she turret; aropnd, saying, "My child, for the first time I he your voice. Onlearth I se„w your smile and felt the coil et your liond curls on your childish brow, bklt I never heard your voice, even in play er prattle, and I am confused to know .which is the beet music, that which the angels et God render or the vetice of you, my darling. Mtisicl I reuse about it and saw the notes in the music book, and I saw the fingers of pianists and organists run tip tend down the snowbanks of the keyboard, but I never thought it would be anything like this. Music!" Then the angel will say to a lifelong invalid: "Did you ever breathe air like this? Such omitstoseme MARRIAGE LICENSES ISSUED AT THE HURON EXPOSITOR OFFICE, SEAFORTH, ONTARIO. APPOINTMENTS MADE. NO WITNESSES REQUIRED. batml Such tonfe! Such Immortal Itto in every respiration! Did you ever have any climate on earth like this climate of heaven?" And thesoul says: 'This is the first time in many a long year I have been freed from pain. As I passed through the ,river by that gate thelast ache left me, and I am well, gloriously well, ever- lastingly well. I have swallowed the last bitter draft. I have felt the last out of tho knits. I have passed the last sleepless niglit, and now I realize tho beauty of what St. John said in Revelation, 'There shale be no more pain." And then tho martyrs and the prophets and tho apostles ,willtake up the chorus, and all the recov-. ered invalids from earth will join in the triumphant refrain that surges to fund fro, from east gate of heaven to west gate. Chorus, "No more pain, no more pain; oo znore pain,. no more pain!" My hearers, it will be a great heaven for all who get through, but the best heaven for those who had on earth -nothing but struggle. Blessed all those who, before they entered the gate of pearl, passed through the gato of carbuncle! OLD ITOM TYSON. The Buttered Toast Autocrat and Ilia Fa- mous Manchester Hentaurant. The most famous hot buttered toast beim in the world was Tyson's restau- rant in Rook street, Manchester, which still flourishes, but no longer is animated by the crisp individuality of its founder, old Tom Tyson, as he was known. Tyson was a born autocrat, who knew that in their heart of hearts Britons, foe all their rule Britannia sentiments, like to be slave driven. So he established a restaurant wherein he, an inflexible autocrat, niight enforce laws of his own making and win riches by this eery enforcement. He pro- vided only chops, steaks and Cumberlaud ham and served with them,insteae of vege- tables, hot buttered toast or bread. Most of • his customers took toast. To people who asked for potatoes it was sarcastically remarked that they should have brought their own. Every one who ate lit Tyson's was compelled also to drink. Ale, stout, coffee and tea were the liquids. A cus- tomer asking for water was referred to the "teetotal shop next door." -A host of good stories are told of Tyson. He dominated the place in his shirt sleeves, and nothing escaped his vigilant eye. His duty to the customer, as he conceived it, was done when good food had been laid promptly before him. After that the cus- tomer's duty to the master of the restau- rant began. Reading .was not permitted, at least in the middle of the day, nor -grumbling, nor a protracted sitting, nor smoking. Tyson's strength was the excel- lence of his wares, his cheapness and his businesslike dispatch, and, knowing this, he played the tyrant to the top of his bent. A young man once calling, "Waiter, bring nu) a steak at once," was amazed to find a raw steak clapped on the table before him. To his expression of ' disgust came the re- ply, "You can't expect meat to be cooked if you want it at OUGO. " Another customer had the temerity to complain that his steak was tough. A considerable space of time elapsed before he came again, but Tyson, who forgot nothing, was waiting for him. The grumbler called for a steak. "Steaks are tough," was the reply. "Then I'll have a chop." "Chops are tough." "Then what can I have?" "Nothing. If you can' t be satisfied with food that pleases other people, you can go somewhere else." A customer daring so much as to glance at a letlier from his pocket was curtly in- formed that "this is not a library." A customer who had- exceeded his *welcome was bidden to go. To the few who com- plained of incivility Tyson's reply was that he served " his civility with his chops and steaks. Tyson'ti as it now is has under- gone modifications, but the toast tradition holds good. Both in Manchester and in the London establishment hot buttered toast is always ready. There is room for more torouses. Who knows but that the estlishment of a, good to:asthouse might net restore the days of wit? In coarse of time, if the toasthouse became as notable as Will's coffee house of old, an- other John Dryden or Dr. Johnson might be forthcoralag to dominate it, and we need another Dr. Johnson. The occasion, It has been said, produces the man. -Corn - hill Magazine. Scent Frown ,the Heliotrope. A delicate odor, heliotrope, is obtained In small quantities from the bele:it/tee hedges of the Riviera by tho process of maceration, a quantity of very pure lard be- ing placed in it copper vessel with the flow- ers and melted over a slow fire. The flowers are then strained away, a process repeated till the fat is eufficiently flower scented, when the liquid fat is poured through a sieve and the greasy flower paste subjected to hydraulic pressure. Since -heliotrope blossoms must be -used as soon as they are gathered and the molt- ed grease carefully kept at the lowest tem- perature that will maintain it in the liquid state, the perfumer accepts as a substitute helitropine, the white, light crystalline powder obtained from the ground pepper. Even if these difficulties of manufacture were avoided by the nyrogone or onfleurage systems, pure helitrope essence could never become a popular perfume. Heat injures it. The direct action. of sunlight destroys it. Artifice replaces it with a mixture of the spirituous extracts of vanilla, amber- gris, rose and 'orange flower, to which are added a few drops of essential oil of al- nionds.-Chombers' Journal. I Anticipated His Questions. Li Hung- Chang had an experience in ling/and similar to that which many who met hem in New York no doubt observed -he left the atmosphere full of questioies that have not been answered. But it must be admitted that he will be able to tell big imperial master the prices of almost every- thing in various countries, the salary of nearly ererybody and the age of•nea,rly ov- al oie, p).evicting, of course, that his memory will hold out. When he was in London, Sir Andrew Noble of the Elswick firm anticipated his questions and had prepared an elegant programme card, stat- ing that the firm gave employment to 19,- 00e persons, paid $7,600,000 per annum in wages; that there were 1,800 guns in course of construction and 14 war vessels in vari- ous stages of completion. In addition he was told that the 12,Z*0 ton armorelid battleship, nearly completed, would cost about £1,0O,000; that her thickest plate was 18 inches of harveyized metal, and that if his excellency said the word the vessel would be duplicated for him in less than 2ee years. Red Pepper. Red pepper seerea to be nature's stimu- lant for the stomach in all hot countries. It is universally diffused and used by the natives of regions as widely separateel. as Mexico and India. In Mexico the natives will frequently be seen eating pepper pods with bread. In India the 'red pepper. is pounded with a pestle and used as an in- gredient of many dishes.

Louis, Sept. 21.-The.people of St. Louis who know the Hon. T Crittenden, coosul general of States at the City of Mexico, writing to him for information fee growing in Mexico. Mr. was once governor of Missou oleas T. lie United have been about cof- ‘rittenden. 1, and his friends aro numbered by the thousands. -So he has found it necessary through the state department at ton a circular which he will se • get out Washing - ti to these inquirers. It contains a great ded of good advice to people who aro planni i g invest- ments in coffee plantations. The occasion of all these lug -dries was the recent attempt of promoter' to inter- est American investors in coffa planta- tion.; in Mexico. The answer hich Mr. Crittenden has prepared for the benefit of his correspondents will have an, unfavor- able influence on the booms, and the pro- moters will not thank him for it. Mr. Crittenden warns his friends not to believe the exaggerated reports sent out from Mexico. Many of them, he says, aro highly colored for a purpose. "As a rule," he,says, "I would not rec- ommend anybody to undertake coffee rais- ing in Mexico without sufficient capital to pay for 250 acres of land, cash in hared, and have at least $5,000 in Mexican cur- rency to meet the first year's expenses. Two or more individuals may club togeth- er and aggregate the above mentioned tap- ital, or more, and accomplish the seine end, but by no means lee any small capitalist undertake to cultivate over 100 acres' in coffee and other necessary croes. This 100 acres may be made self supporting the first year by cultivating 25 or 60 acres Of it in coffee and other things in connection with chicken and hog raising, having h vegetable garden, and, by all means, a medium sized nursery of 25,000 coffee seedlings to be ready for the balance of the 160 acres." Many failures in coffee growing in Mex- ico arise from the fact that the 'manager of a plantation is fresh from the United States, with no knowledge of the phyeical conditions or the language of Mexico and with no understanding of the manageneent of Mexican labor. Conditions for culti- vating coffee, too, are -different in different parts of Mexico'anal planting should be undertaken only by &n expert.1 Thegreatest difficulty aboutcoffee grow- ing is found in the fact that no realization on the investment can be had within four years. The cost of ordinary coffee land is $10 an acre. Clearing casts $10 more. The cost of trees and planting is $6.20, and there is a recortlo exected animal state tax of $4. 65. That makes the Miele: ceet $30.85 per acre. Every year the planter must" pak. $4.65 state tax and $3 to $6 per acre for weeding. In four years this adds about $40 to the original investment, Making the cost before production $70.80 p- r acre. At the end of the fourth year t e yield is about 310 pounds of coffee to tho acre. On this a federal tax of 2 cents on ach $20, a municipal tax of about 1 centl per pound and an export duty of about lee cents a pound are charged. At the prescfnt price of coffee one would realize $93 an tcre on the crop, but the gathering of c flee costs $12.04 and the preparaffon of it $12.04 per acre, so the outlay, not eounti g interest on investment, would he $04-.0 'The original home of coffee s supposed to have been upper Ethiopia, and it was transplanted thence to` Ara- lit elix. It is still ts controverted point w eth e the bev- erage was known to the rep s and Ro- mans. The Persians adopted the berry after the Ethiopians, and the A'rabs are entitled to the credit for ilis m re general introduction into Europe. Fr m Arabia the use of coffee passed to Dgyt, reaching Cairo at the beginning of th4 sixteenth centauy.. From Egypt it assed to Syria, thence to Greece and Const4ntiople A.

F It was iotro- duced into Mexico from the West Indies toward the end of the seventeenth aextury, cultivated first at or near Cordova, now on the Mexican and Vera Cruz railroad, 200 miles from the City of Mexico and 00 miles from Vera Cruz. The increase in the prodOction. of Mex- ican coffee is about 33 per cent a year. There were in 1895, 60,000,000 coffee trees, producing 5,4,000,000 pounds of coffee. Its use by the Mexicans inereaees every year. The use of coffee all olver the world is in- creasing steadily. The &Oland for It has become so great that Many "coffee substi- tutes" are made.
