were extreme, my leg, from the knee to the
ankle, being a solid sore, which began to ex-

The Latest Snake Story.
Said a well-known reconteur of
snake stories the other day to an edi-
tor, by way of a wind up to several
good ones:
I can't call any more to mine just
at present. My wife knows a lot of
snake stories, but I've forgot 'em. By
the way, though, I've got a regular
living curiosity down on my place.
One day my eldest boy was sitting on
the back stoop doing 'his sums, and he
couldn't get them right. He felt some-
thing against his face, and there was a
little snake curled up on his shoulder
and looking at the slate. In four min-
utes he had done all those sums.
We've tamed him, so he keeps all our
accounts, and he is the quickest head
at figures you ever saw. He'll run up
a column eight feet long in three sec-
onds. I wouldn't take a prize cow for
him."
"What kind of a snake is he?" in-
quired the editor, curiously.
"The neighbors call him an adder."
"Oh, yes, yes l" said the editor, .a
little disconcerted. •'I've heard of the
species."

(Editor duelph Mercury.)
DEAR Srn,—I am pleased to add my
statement to the great number you
have already received, recommending
in the highest terms Williams' Royal
Crown Remedy and Pills. A Mr.
Scott called at my home about six
years ago and told my wife of the
virtues contained in this marvellous
liquid, and my wife and he persuaded
me to buy two bottles of the remedy.
It did me so much good that I bought
Hix bottles, and we have found it a
remedy for many complaints and has
been of great benefit to us and our
friends, and has lessened our doctors'
bills from those of former years. We
have keep some of the Royal Crown
Remedy on hand ever since we first
tried it (over six years), and we highly
recommend it to all who suffer from
any curable disease. Take no substi-
tute. Get the genuine. Price, $1,
Pills 25c, or 5 bottles of Remedy, 5
boxes Pills for $5. Sent by express by
Isaac Williams' Co., London. Ont., or
druggists. Yours truly,
A. SWEETMAN, 24 Charles St., Guelph.

ON JESUS CHRIST.

Habits, In His Sobriety, In Ills Syrups.
thy—He Was Lovely in His Sermons
and In Ills Chief Life's Work.
BROOKLYN, April 92.—Mrs. Prentiss'
hymn; "Mere Love to Thee, 0, Christ,"
was never more effectively rendered
than this morning, by the thousands of
voices in the Brooklyn Tabernacle, led
on by organ and cornet, while by new
vocabulary and fresh imagery, br, Tal-
mage presented the Gosppel. The sub-
Fject of the sermon was, "Fairest of the
air," the text chosen being Solomon's
Song 5 : 16 : "Ho is altogether lovely."
The human race has during centuries
been improving, For awhile it deflect-
ed and degenerated, and -from all I can
read, for ages the whole tendency was
towards barbarism. But under the ever
widening and deepening influence of
Christianity the tendency is now in the
upward direction. The physical appear-
ance of the human race is seventy-five
per cent, more attractive than in the
sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries, From the pictures on canvas
and the faces and forms in sculpture of
those who were considered the grand
looking men and attractive women of
two hundred years ago, I conclude the
superiority of the men and women of
our time. Such looking people of the
past centuries as painting and sculpture
have presented as flue specimens of
beauty and dignity, would be in our
time considered• deformity and repul-
siveness complete. The fact that many
men and women in antediluvian times
were eight and ten feet high tended to
make tae human race obnoxious rather
than winning. Such portable moun-
tains of human flesh did not add to the
charms of the world.
But in no climate and in no age did
there ever appear anyone who,in physical
attractiveness could be compared to
Him whom my text celebratee,thousands
of years before He put his infantile foot
on the hill back of Bethlehem. He
vas and is altogether lovely. The
physical appearance of Christ is, for the
must part an artistic guess. Some writ-
ers declare Him to have been a brunette
or dark complexioned. and others a
blonde or light complexioned. St. John
of Damascus, writing eleven hundred
years ago, and so much nearer than our-
selves to the time of Christ, and hence
more likelihood of an accurate tradi-
tion, represents Him with beard black
and curly, eyebrows joined together,and
"yellow complexion, and long fingers
like His mother." Another, writing
fifteen hundred years ago, represents
Christ as a blonde. "His hair the color
of wine and golden at the root; straight
and without lustre, but from the level
of the ears curling and glossy, and di-
vided down the center after the fashion
of the Nazarenes ; His forehead is even
and smooth, His•face without blemish,
and enhanced by a tempered bloom ;
His countenance ingenious and kind.
Nose and mouth are its no way faulty.
His beard is full, of the same color as
His hair, and forked in form; His eyes
blue and extremely hralliaut.
My opinion is it was a Jewish face.
His mother was a Jewess, and• there is
no womanhood on earth more beautiful
than 'Jewish womanhood. Alas 1 .that
He lived so long before time Daguerreau
and photographic arts were born, or we
might have known His exact features.
I know that Seulpure and Painting were
born long before Christ, and they might
have transferred from olden times to
our times the forehead, the nostril, the
eye, the lips of our Lord. Phidias, the
sculptor, put down his chisel of enchant-
ment five hundred years before Christ
came. Why did not someone take ap
that chisel, and give us the side face o
full face of our Lord? Polygnotus, time
painter, put down his pencil four hun-
urod years before Christ. Why did not
someone take it up, and give us at lease
the eye of our Lord. the eye, that sot,.
ereign of the face ? Diunysius, the
literary artist, who saw at Heliopolis,
Egypt, the strange darkening of the
heavens at the time of Christ's crucifix-
ion near Jerusalem, and not knowing
what it was, but describing it as a
peculiar eclipse of the sun, and saying,
"Either the Deity suffers or sympathizes
with some sufferer," that Dionysius
might have put hie pen to the work, and
drawn the portrait of our Lord. But
no 1 the fine arts were busj perpetuating
the form and appearance of the world's
favorites only, and not the form and ap-
pearance of the peasantry, among whom
Christ appeared.
It was not until the fifteenth century,
or until more than fourteen hundred
years after Christ, that talented paint-
ers attempted by pencil to give us the
idea of Christ's face. The pictures be-
fore that time were so offensive that the
Council of Constantinople forbade their
exhibition. But Leonardo Da Vinci, in
the fifteenth century, presented Christ's
face on two canvasses, yet the one was
a repulsive face and the other an effem-
inate face. Raphael's face of Christ
is a weak face. Albert Durer's face of
Christ was a savage face. Titian's face
of Christ is an expressionless ,face. Tim
mightiest artists, either with pencil or
chisel, have made signal failures in at-
tempting to give time forehead. the cheek,
the eyes, the nostrils, the mouth of our
blessed Lord.
But about His face I can tell you
something positive and beyond contro-
versy. I sun sure it was a soulful face.
The face is only the curtain of the soul.
It was impossible that a disposition like
Christ's should not have demonstrated
Itself in His physiognomy. Kindness
ae an occasional impulse may giye no
illumination to the features, but kind-
ness as a lifelong, dominant habit will
produce attractiveness of countenance
as certainly as the shining of the sun
produces flowers. Children are afraid
of a scowling or haul -visaged
man. They cry out if he proposes to
take them. if be try to caress them, he
evokes a slap rather than a kiss. All
mothers know how hard it is to get
their children to go to a man or woman
of forbidding appearance. But no soon -
nor did Christ appear in the domestic
group than'there was an infantile excite-
ment, and the youngster began to strug-
gle to get out of their mother's arms.
They could not hold the children balk,
"Stand back with those children!" scold-
ed some of the disciples. Perhaps the
little ones may have been playing in the
dirt, and their faces may not have been
clean, or they maynot have been well
clad, or the discipes may have thought
Christ's religion was a religion chiefly
for big folks. But Christ made the in-
fantile excitement still livelier by His
saying that He liked children better
than grown people, declaring. "Except
ye heciar le ea R littl t oh ld� OjltltuRt
enter into the kingdom, Of qod 41ae1
for thos0 people rvlto de not like, Oh[ld,
rep, They baq better star out of
Heaven, for the piles ie full' of them.
That, I think, is 'one reasoq 'why the
vast Majority of the bumatn race die in
infancy, thriet is so fond of children
that He takes them to Himself before
the world haw time to despOii and hard-
en them, and so they are now at the
windows Of the Palace, and on the dear•
steps, and playing on the green. Some-
times Matthew or Mark, or Luke tells a
story of Christ and only one tells it, but
Matthew, Mark and Luke all join In
that pictures of Christ girdled by child-
ren,and I know by what occurred at that
time that Christ had a face full of gen-
Not only was Christ altogether. lovely
in His countenance, but lovely in Hie
habits. I know, without being told,
that the Lprd who made the rivers, and
lakes, and oceans, was cleanly in Hie
appearance. He disliked the disease of
leprosy, not only because it was distress-
ing but because it was not clean, and
His curative words were, "I will; be
thou clean." He declared Himself in
favor of thorough washing, and opposed
to superficial washing, when Ile de-
nt•mtced the hypocrites for making clean
only "the outside of the platter," and
He applauds His disciples by saying,
"Now are ye clean," and giving direc-
tions to those who fasted, among other
timings He says, "Wash thy face;" and
to a blind man whom He was. doc-
toring, "Go, wash in the pool of
Siloam." And He Himself actually
wash the disciples' feet, I suppose not
only to demonstrate His own humility,
but probably their feet needed to be
washed. The fact is, the Lord was a
great friend of water, I know that
from the fact most of the world is water.
But when I find Christ in such constant
commendation of water. I know He
was personally neat, althcugh He min•
gled much among very sough popula-
tions, and took such long jour neys on
dusty highways. He wore His hair
long, according_to the custom of His
land and time, but neither trouble nor
old age had thinned or injured His locks,
which were never worn shaggy or un-
kempt. Yea, all His habits of personal
appearance were lovely.
Sobriety was always an established
habit of His life. In addition to the
water, Ile drank the juice of the grape.
When at a wedding party tuffs beverage
gave out, He made gallons on gallons of
grape juice, but it was as unlike what
the world makes in our time `as health
is different from disease, and ire calm
pulses are different from the paroxysms
of delirium tremens. There was no
strychuiue in that beverage, or logwood,
or aux vomica. The tipplers and the
sots who now quote the wine -making in
Cana of Galilee as an excuse for the
fiery and daunting beverages of the
nineteenth century, forget that the wine
at the Ne .v Testauiment wedding had two
characteristics, the one that the Lord
made it, and the other that it was made
sympathetic) "Jeans wept,"

"Jesus wept."
I thfnk that is what makes Christ
such a popular Christ. There are so
many who want sympathy. Miss Fiske,
the famous Nestorian missionary, was.
in the chapel one day talking to the
heathen, and she was in very poor
health, and so weak she sat upon a mat
while she talked, and felt the need of
something to lean against, when she felt
a wonimin's form at her back, and heard
a wornan's voice saying, "Lean on me*"
She hutted a little, but did not want to
be too cumbersome, when the woman's
voice said, "Lean hard, if you love me,
lean hard." And that makes Christ so
lovely. He wants all the sick,and troubl-
ed, and weary to lean against Him, and
He says, ,"Lean hard, if you love Me,
lean hard." Aye, He is close by with
His sympathetic help. Hedley Vicars,
the fainous soldier and Christian of time
Crimean war, died beCause when he was
wounded his regiment was too far off
from time tent of supplies. He was not
mortally wounded, and if time surgeonn
could only have got at the bandages
and the medicines, he would have re-
covered. So much of human syinpathy
and hopefulness comes too late; hut
Christ ni always close by if we want Him,
and has all the medicines ready, and has
eternal life for all who ask for it. Sym-
pathy !
Aye, He was lovely in His doctrines.
Self•sacritice, or the relief of the suffer-
ing of others by our own suffering. He
was the only physician that ever pro-
posed to cure Efis patients by taking

what did He uot give up for others ?
The best climate in the universe, the air
of heaven, for the wintry weather of
Palestine ; a sceptre of unlimited domin-
ion for a prisoner's box in tin earthly
court-roomn ; flashing tiara for a crown
of stinging brambles ; a palace for a
cattle pen ; a throne for a cross. Self-
sacrifice What is more lovely ?
Mothers dying for their children down
with scarlet fever ; railroad engineers
going down through time open drawbridge
to save the train ; firemen scorched to
death trying to help some one down the
ladder from the fourth story of the con-
suming house ; all these put together
ouly faint and insufficient similes by
which to illustrate the grander, mightier,
farther -reaching- self-sacrifice of the
"Altogether Lovely."
Do you wonder that the story ef His
self -samitice has led hundreds of thou-
sands to die for Him ? In one series of
persecutions over 200,000 were put to
death for Christ's sake. For Him Blan-
dine was tied to a post and wild beasts
were let out upon her, and. when life
continued after the attack of tooth and
paw, she was put in a uet, and that net
containiug her was thrown to a wild
bull, that tossed her with its horns till
life was extinct, All for Christ! Hu-

tants of all the ages have had die for
thermore, He was lovely in His
sermous. He knew when to begin,
when to stop, mind just what to say. The
longest sermon He ever preached, so far
as the BiLle reports Hun, namely, the
Sermon •on the Mount, was about six-
teen minutes in delivery, at the ordinary
rate of speech. His longest prayer re-
ported, commonly called "ThetLord's
Prayer," was about half a ",iiininute.
Time them by your own watch and you
will find my estimate accurate. By
which I do not mean to say that ser-
mons ought to be only sixteen minutes
long, and .prayers only half a minute
long. Christ had such infinite power of
compression that He could put enough
into His sixteen -minute sermon and His
half -minute prayer to keep all time fol-
lowing ages busy in thought and action.
No one but a Christ could afford to pray
or preach as short as that, but He meant
to teach us compression.
At Selma, Alabama, the other day, I
was shown a cotton -press, by which
cotton was put in such shape that it oc-
cupied in transportation only one car,
where three cars were formerly neces-
sary ; and one ship where three ships
had been required, and I imagine that
we all need to compress our sermons and
our prayers into smaller epacee.
And His sermons were so lovely for
sentiment and practicality, and simpli-
city, and illustration ; the light of a
candle. the crystal of the salt ; the cluck
of a hen for her chickens ; the hypo-
crite's dolorous physiognomy ; the moth
in the clothes -closet ; the black wing of
a raven ; the snow bank of the white
lilies ; our extreme botheration about
the splinter of imp: rfection in
some one else's character ; the
swine fed on the pearls ; wolves
dramatizing sheep; and time peroration
made up of a cyclone in which you hear
time crush of a tumbling house uuwisely
constructed. No technicalities ; no
sp itting of hairs between North and
Noithwest side; no dogmatics; but a
great Christly throb of helpfulness. I
do not wonder at the record which says,
"When He was come down from time
mountain great multitudes followed
Him." They had but one fault to find
with His sermon; it was too short. God
help all of us in Christian work to get
down off our stilts, and realize there is
only one th'ng we have to do : there is
the great wound of the world's sin and
sorrow, and ere is the great healing
plaster of the Gospel. What you and I
want to do is to put the plaster on the
wound. All-su client is this Gospel if
it is only applied. A minister preaching
to an audience of sailors concerning the
ruin by sin and the rescue by the Goe-
pel, accommodated 'himself to sailor's
vernacular, and s id, "This plank
bears." Many years after, this preach-
er was called to see a dying sailor, and
asked him about his ho e and got the

Ayel Christ was lovely in His de-

wits the world's reception of Him! Rocky

ever spoke; or an uakiud action that He
ever perfortned, or an unkind thought
that He ever harbored?, What a marvel
it is that all the nations of earth do not
rise up in raptures of affection for Him?

of time great German reformer's love for

is 'Jesus Christ lives here, not Martin

we get through this short and rugged
road of life, we can go right up into
His presence and live with Him world
without end ? And if, entering the gate
of that heavenly city, we should be so
overwhelmed with our unworthiness on
the one siae, and the supernal splendor
on the other side, we get a little
bewildered. and should for a few
moments be lost on the streets of gold,

THE BENEDICTION WITHELD TILL $1,150
WAS RAISED.
The members and congregation of
Broadway Methodist tabernacle, Tor- I
onto, have concluded that the next
occasion on which their pastor, Rev.
J. C. Speer, asks for a certain sum bf
money the easiest way out of it will be
to give it to him at once. A little ex-
perience they had the other Sunday
has taught them this.
Sixteen hundred dollars were requir-
ed to meet a certain debt, and of this
the members of the trust board
agreed to supply $600 provided
the congregation would come forth
with the balance. The pastor in-
formed them they could safely write
Out their checks, as he would see tha'
the congregation did their' part.
Sunday morning came and the an-
nounceinent was nia,cle that $1,000
would be required in the collections of
the day. When the evening collection
was taken Mr. Speer requested the
congregation to remaeindihnotwhetihrepilraficens.
until it was ascertain
ances stood. The count revealed tbe
fact that the two collections totalled
$460, or $540 short of the required
amount. The pastor politely intimat-
ed that when he asked a congregation
for anything he usually got it, and
having no desire to have this an excep- •
tion to the rule, he would pronounce
the benediction when the amount was
raised and not a moment sooner. The
collection plate went around, once
more the count ,was made, but the
amount of money did not materialize
and the usual words of dismissal were
still unsaid. A third canvass was
made, sufficient being sulascribed this
time to meet the emergency with $150
to the good. The pastor thanked the
congregation for doing their' duty and
dismissed them' with the benediction.
When fevers and other epidemics
are around, safety lies in fortifying the
system with Ayer's Sarsaparilla. A
person having thin and impure blood,
is in the most favorable condition to
"catch" whatever disease may be float-
ing in the air. Be wise in time.
