A Bright Lad,
Ten years of age, but who declines to give his
name to the public, makes this authorized,
confidential statement to us:
"When I was one year old, my mafnma died
of consumption. The doctor said that I,
too, would soon die and all our neighbors
thought that even if I did not dle I would
never be able to walk, because 'i was so
weak and puny. A gathering formed and
broke under my arm. I hurt my finger and
it gathered and threw out pieces of bone.
If I hurt myself so as to break the skin, it
was sure to become a running sore. I had
to take lots of medicine, but nothing has
done tate so much good as Ayer's Sarsana-
rilla. It has made me well and strong.'—

TRADE AND BUSINESS TALK.
The fifty-four principal loan com-
panies doing business in Ontario have
borrowed money on debentures to the
extent of $47,000,000 and are indebted
to depositors to the extent of $17,000,-
000 more. On this sum the interest
paid by the companies last year was
$2,800,000, or a trifle over four and a
quarter per cent. Between this rate
and that at which they lend, abont two
per cent. higher, there should be room
for a fairly good profit.
The eight Ontario counties in which
the largest amount is registered in the
form of chattel mortgages are : York,
$1,553,000 ; Grey, $518,000 ; Simcoe,
$415,000; Carleton, $387,000; Algoma,
$353,000; Kent, $333,000; Prescott and
Russel, $320,000 ; Wentworth, the
same. The county with the lowest,
indebtedness in this form is Halibur-
ton with but $13,000, Thunder Bay and
Haldimand coming next with $26,000
and $55,000 respectively.
There is a solemn lesson for boys
and their parents in the statement

Child Saving Conference, to the effect
that nearly all noted criminals com-
menced their career before. reaching

right path up to twenty, or even fif-
teen, there is little fear they will go
astray afterwards. Nothing could
make clearer the tremendous responsi-
'inlity resting .upon parents during the
period within which the characters of
their children are in course of forma-
tion.

people in England, Ireland and Wales,
and 100,000 own all the United King-
dom. In 1890 there were but two
millionaires in the United States and
no tramps. To -day there are 3i5,000
millionaires and 1;500,000 tramps. In
the United States three-fifths of the
entire wealth of the country is owned
by 31,000 persons—less than one -twelfth
of one per cent. of the population.—

OUR CREDIT STANDS 111011.
The fact was briefly mentioned
yesterday that Canada's three per cent.
bonds have touched par in London.
This marks a marvellous change in n
comparatively short peroid. In 1869,
even•with the aid of an Im)perialguar-
antee, Canada was forced to pay at the
rate of 4.12 for money, and five -years
later, without such guarantee, we paid
4.87.
- What is the effect of the improve-
ment in our financial standing above
noted ? The effect is that, although our
obligations—incurred for the purpose of
cad•rying out great national undertak-
ings—have been increased in 20 years
by about 120 per cent., the cost of
carrying the same is only a little over
70 per cent. greater now than then.
This improvement in our credit,
under which we carry $241,000,000 of
debt as easily to -day as we did $100,0011,-
000 eight years since, mast be gratify-
ing to every patriotic Canadian, and
for that improvement nut a little credit
is due to Hon. Geo. E. Foster, the
present able Finance Minister.
WHAT OV7ARIO FARMS PRODUCE.
The total value of farm lands, build-
ings, stock and implements in the
Province of Ontario—according to the
report of the Bureau of Industries—is
nearly $065,000,000.
This is divided as follows : Land,
$030,000,000; buildings, $182,000,000;
stocs, $104,250,000; implements, $48,-
500,000.
The amount of crops grown in 1893
was : t Pall wheat, 17,500,000 bushels ;
spring, 4,186,000; barley, 0,806,000;
oats, 58,584,000; rve, 904,000; peas,
14,168,000; corp, 15,600,000; buckwheat,
2,380,000; beans, 604,000; potatoes,
13,000,000; mange] wurtzels, 8.500,000;
carrots, 3,000,000; turnips, 57,000,000;
hay, 5,600,000 thns.
The amount of stock sold was :
Pbultry, 2,017,000 ; hogs, 975,000 ; sheep,
610,000; cattle, 461,000; horses, 48,000.
The total value of the crop produced
was about $140,000,000, the value of
stock sold was $33,000,000, and of dairy
products $10,000,000. This gives,
roughly, a'total of $183,000,000 as the
value of the output of the farms of On-
tario in 1893.
QCTOBER THOUGHTS.
THE BIROS OF THE AIR HAVE MORE
SAGACITY THAN MAN.

will Never Become a Triumphant
Church Until it Becomes p BIngIne
Church.
BROOKLYN, Oct. 11—Rev. Dr. Tal-
mage who has left India and is now on
his homeward journey, has selected as
the subject of his sermon, to -day through
the press "October Thoughts,' his text
being Jeremiah 8: 7: "The stork in the
heaven knoweth her appointed time ;
and the turtle and the crane and the
swallow observe the time of their com-
ing: but my_peoplc know not the judg-
ment of the Lord."
Whenrod
C would setbeautiful
fast a eauti
fol
shought, IIe plants it in a tree. When
He would put it afloat He fashions it
into a fish. When He would have it
glide the air, He moulds it into a bird.
My text speaks of four birds of beauti-
ful instinct—the stork, of such strong
affection that it is allowed familiarly to
come, in Holland and Germany, and
build its nest over the doorway ; the
sweet-itispositionod turtle dove ming-
ling in color white and blaek,and brown,
and ashen, and chestnut ; • the crane
with voice like the clang of a trumpet :
the swallow, swift as a dart shot out of
the bow of heaven, falling, Mounting
skimming, sailing—four -birds started
by the prophet twenty-five centuries
ago, yet flying on through the ages,
with rousing truth under gloss wing
and the clutch of stout claw. I supppose
it may have been this very season of the
year—autumn—and the prospect out-of-
door thinking of the impenitence of the
Niseeeit' of his daylhears agreat cry over-
head.
Now, you know it is no easy thing for
ono with ordinary delicacy of eye -sight
to look into /the deep blue of noonday
heaven ; but the prophet looks up, and
there, are flocks of storks, and turtle-
doves, and cranes, and swallows, drawn
out in long lines for flight southward.
As is their habit, the cranes had ar-
ranged themselves in two lines making
an angle, a wedge splitting the air with
wild velocity. the old crane, with com-
manding call bidding them onward_;
while the towns, and the cities and the
continents slid under thein. The pro-
phet almost blinded from looking into
the dazzling heavens, stoops down and
begins to think how much superior the
birds are in sagacity about their safety
than men about theirs ; and he puts his
hand upon the pen, and begins to write:
—'Tho stork in the heaven-knoweth her
appointed times, and the turtle and the
crane and the swallow observe the time
of their coming ; but my people know
not the judgment of the Lord. "
If you were in the field to -day, in the
clump of trees at the corner of the field,
you would see a convention of birds,
noisy as the American Congress the
last night before adjournment, or as the
English Parliament when some unfor-
tunate member proposes more economy
in the Queen's.household—a convention
of birds all talking at once, moving and
passing resolutions on the subject of
migration, some proposing to go to-
morrow, some moving that they go to-
day, but all unanimous in the fact that
they must fro soon, for they have march-
ing orders from the Lord written on the
first white sheet of the froet,•and•in the
pictorial of the changing leaves. There
rs not a belted kingfisher, ora chaffinch,
or a fire -crested wren, or a plover, or a
red -legged partridge but exneets to
spend the winter at the South, for the
apartments have already been ordered
for them in South America, or in Africa;
and after thousands of miles of flight.
they will 4top in the very tree where
they spent last January. Farewell,
bright plumage! Until spring weather,
away ! FIy on, great band of heavenly
musicians! Strew the continents with
music, and whether from Ceylon Isle of
Carolinian swamps, or Brazilian groves
men see your wings, or hear your voice,
may they yet bethink themselves of the
solemn words of the text :—"The stcrk
in the heaven knoweth her appointed
times ; aed the turtle and the crane and
the swallow observe the time of their
corning; but my people know not the
judgment of the Lord.
1 propose so far as God may help me,
in this sermon, carrying out the idea of
the text, to show that the birds of the
air have more sagacity than men. And
I begin by particularizing and saying
that they mingle music with their work.
The most serious undertaking of a bird's
lite is this annual flight southward.
Naturalists tell us that they arrive thin
and weary, and plumage ruffled, and
yet they go singing all the way ; the
ground, the lower line of the music, the
sky, the upper line of the music, them-
selves the notes scattered up and down
between. I suppose their song gives
elasticity to their wing and helps on
with the journey, dwindling a thousand
miles into four hundred. Would God
that we were tYs wise as they in mingling
Christian song with our every -day work !
I believe there is such a thing as taking
the pitch of Christian devotion in the
morning ane ]seeping it all the day. I
think we might take some of the dullest,
heaviest, most disagreeable work of life,
and set it to the tune lof "Antioch" or
"Mount Pisgah."
It is a good sign when you hear a
workman whistle. It is abetter sign
when you hear him hum a roundelay. It
is a still better sign when you hear him
sing the words of Isaac Watts or Charles
Wesley. A violin chordod and strung, if
something accidentally strike it, makes
music, and I suppose there is such a
thing as having our hearts so attuned
by divine grace, that even the rough
collisions ot life will make a heavenly
vibration. I do not believe that the
power of Christian song has yet been
fully tried. I believe that if you could
roll the "Old Hundred" doxology
through the street, it would put an end
to any panic ! I believe that the dis-
cords and the sorrows, and the sins of
the world are to be swept out by heaven -
born hallelujahs. Some one asked
Haydn, the celebrated musician why he
always composed such cheerful music.
"Why," he said. "I can't do otherwise.
When 1 think of God, my soul is so full
of joy that the notes leap and dance
from my pen." 1 wish we might all
exult melodiously before the Lord.
With God for our Father, and Christ for
our Saviour and Heaven for our home,
and angels,for our future companions
and eternity for a life time, we should,
all the notee of joy. Going'
through the wilderness of this world, let
us remember that we,are on the way to
the summery 'clime of Heaven, and from
the migratory populations flying through
this autumnal air learn always to keep
singing. - .

Childrtfu of the heavenly $Ins,
Aa ye journey, *wooly Ons—
Sing y cur Saviour's worthy min,
Glorloue'Iq fits works and way,.
Ye are traveling home to God,
In the way your Lathers trod ;
They are happy now, and we
Soon their happmess'ehafl see.
The Church of God will never be a tri-
umphant churchuntil it becomes a sing-
ing church.
1 go further, and remark that the
birds of the air are wiser than we, in
the fact that in their migration they fly
very high. During the summer, when
they are in the fields, they often come
within reach of the _gun; but when they
start for theanuual ight southward they
take their places mid -heaven, and go
straight as a mark. The longest rifle
that was ever brought to shoulder can-
not reach them. Would to God that
we were as wise as the stork and crane
in our flight heavenward. We, fly so
low that we are within easy range of
the world, the flesh., and the devil, We
are brought down by temptations that
ought not to come within a mile of
reaching us. Oh for some of the faith
of George Muller, of England, and Al-
fred Cool:, once of the Church militant,
now of the Church triumphant ! So
poor is the type of piety in the'
Church of t3od now, that men
actually caricature the idea that there
is any such a thing as a higher life.
Moles never did believe in eagles.
But, my brethren, because we have
not reached these heights ourselves,
shall we deride the fact that there are
such heights? A man once talking to
Brunel, the ramous engineer, about the
length of the railroad from London to
Bristol, the engineer said, "It is very
great. We shall have, after a while, a
stcatner running from England to New
York." They laughed him to scorn;
but we have gone so far now that we
have ceased to laugh at anything as im-
posseble to human achievement. Then,
I ask, is any thiii.g imposs:ble for the
Lord? I do not believe that God ex-
hausted all hid grace in Paul, and
Latimer and Edward Payson. I believe
there are higher points of Christian
attainment to be reached in th4 future
ages of the Christian world. You tell
the that Paul went up to the tiptop of
the Alps of Christian attainment.
Then 1 tell you that the stork and
crane have found above the Alps plenty
of room for free flying. We go out and
we conquer our temptations by the
Grace of God, and lie down. On
the morrow, those temptations rally
themselves and attack us, and £by the
Grace of God we defeat them again ;
but staying all the time in the old en-
campment,w•e have the same old battle
to fight over. Why not whip out our
temptations, and then forward march,
'staking one raid through the enemy's
country, stopping not until we break
ranks after the lust victory. Do, my
brethren, let u3 hat`s same novelty of
combat, at any rate, by changing, by
going on, by making advancement,
trading off our stale prayers abouts sins
we ought to have quit long ago going
on towards a higher state of Christian
character, and routing out sins that we
have never thought of yet. The fact is,
if the Church of God—if we, as individ-
uals, made rapid advancement in the
christian life, these stereotyped prayers
we have been making tor ten or fifteen
years would be as inappropriate to us as
the shoes and the hats, and the coats we
wore ten 00 fifteen years ago. On for a
higher flight in the christian lite, the
stork and the crane in thesr migration
teaching us the lesson!
Dear Lord, and shall we overtire,
At this poor dying rate-•'
Our love so faint, so cold to Thee
And Thine to us so grew,
Again, I remark that the birds of the
air are wiser than we, because they
know when to start. It' you should go
out now and shout, "Stop. storks and
cranes, don't be in a hurry !" they would
say, "No, we cannot stop; last night we
heard the roaring in the woods bidding
us away, and the shrill' flute of the nort'i,,
wind has sounded the retreat. We trust
go. We must go " So they , gather
themselves into companies, and turning
not aside for storm or mountain top, or -
shock of musketry, over land and sea,
straight as an arrow to the mark they
go. And if you come out this morning
with a sack of corn and throw it in the
fields and try to get them to stop, they
are so far up they would hardly see it.
They are on their way south. You could
not stop them. Oh, that we were as wise
about the best time to start for God and
heaven ! We say, "Wait until it is a
little later in the season of mercy. Wait
until some of these green leaves of hope
are all dried up and have been . scatter-
ed. Wait until next year." After
awhile we start, and it is too late, and
we perish in the way when God's wrath
is kindled but a little. There are, you
know, exceptional cases, where birds
have started too late, and in the morn-
ing you have found them dead on the
snow. And there are those who have
perished halfway between the world
and Christ, They waited until the last
sickness, when the mind was gone, or
they were on the express train going
at forty miles an hour and they
came to the bridge and the "draw
was up" and they went clown. How
long to repent and pray? Two seconds !
To do the work of a lifetime and
to prepare for the vast eternity in two
seconds ! I was reading of an enter-
tainment given in a king's court, and
there were musicians there, with clabor
ate pieces of music. After awhile
Mozart came and began to play, and he
had a blank piece of paper before him,
and the king familiarly looked over his
shoulder and said, "What are you play-
ing? I sce no music before you." And
Mozart put his hand on itis brow, as
much as to say, "I am improvising It
was very well for him, but oh, my
friends, we cannot extemporize heaven.
If we do not get prepared in this world,
we will never take part in the orchestral
harmonies of the saved. Oh that we
were as wise as the crane and the stork,
flying away, flying away from the
tem
Some of you have felt the pinching
frost of sin. You feel it to -day. You
are not happy. 1 look into your face,
and I know you are not happy. There
are voices within your soul that will not
be silenced, telling you that you are sin-
ners, and that without the pardon of
God you are undone fotever. What are
you going to do, my friends, with the
accumulated transgressions of this life-
time ! Will you stand still and let the
avalanche tumble over you? Oh that
you would 'go away into the warm heart
of God's mercy. The southern grove,
redolent with magnolia and cactus,
never waited for northern flocks as
God has waited for von, 'saying, "I
have loved then with an everlasting
love. Come unto Me, all ye who are
weary and heavy laden, and I will give
you rest.
Another frost is bidding von Tway—It
is the frost of sorrow. Whore do you
live no ? "Oh," you says, "I have
moved.'Why did you move? You say,
"I don't want as large a house now as
formerly." Why do you not want as
large a house? You say, "My family is
not so large." Where have they gone
to? Eternity! Your mind goes back
through that last sickness, and through
the almost supernatu>;al effort to keep
life. and through those prayers that
seemed unavailing, and through that
kiss which received no response be-
cause the lips were lifeless, and I hear
the bells tolling and I hear the hearts
breaking --while I speak, I hear them
break. A heart! Another heart!
Alone I alone ! alone ! This world, which
in your girlhood and boyhood was sun-
shine, is cold now, and oh ! weary dove,
yon fly around this world as though you
would like to stay, when the wind and
the frost and the blackening clouds
would bid you awayinto tho heart of
an all -comforting od. Oh, I have
noticed again and again what a botch
this world makes of it when it tries to
comfort a soul in trouble 1 It says,
"Don'tcry 1" How can we help crying
when the heart's treasures are scattered,
and father is gone, and mother is gone,
and compactions are gone, and the child
is gone; and everything seems gone?
It is no Comfort to tell a man
not to cry. The world comes up .
and says, "Olt, it is only the body
of your loved one that you have
put' in the ground !" But there is no
comfort in that. The body is precious.
Shall we never put our hand in that
hand again. and shall we never sce that
sweet face again? Away with your
heartlessness, oh world !- But come,
Jesus ! and tell us that when the tears
fall they fall into God's bottle ; that the
dear bodies of our loved ones shall rise
radiant in tho resurrection; and all the
breakings down hero shall be liftings up
there, and "they shall hunger no more,
neither thirst any more, neither shall
the sun light on them nor any heat, for
the Larnb which is in the midst of the
throne shall load them to living fountains
of water, and Godshall wipe all tears
from their eyes,"
You may have Ilotleed that when the
chaffinch er the stork or the crane starts
on its migration, it calls all those of its
kind to come too. The tree -tops are full
of chip and whistle and carol and the
long roll -call. The bird does not start
off alone. It gathers all of its kind. Oh
that you may be as wise in this migra-
tion to heaven, and that you might
gather all your families and
your friends , with you ! I would
that Hannah might take Samuel
by the hand and Abraham might
take Isace, and Hagar might,take Ish-
mael. I ask you if those who sat at
your breakfast table this morning will
sit with you in heaven ? I ask you
what influence you are trying to bring
upon then, what example you are set-
ting
then,. Are you calling them to go
with you? Ay, ay, have you started
yourself?
Start for heaven and take your child-
ren with you. Come thou and all thy
house into the ark. Tell your little ones
that there are reahns of balm and sweet-
ness for all those who fly in the right
direction. Swifter titan eagles' stroke,
put out for heaven. Like the crane or
the stork. stop not night nor day until
you find the right place for
stopping. Seated to -clay in Christian
service, will you be seated in the same
glorious service when. the heavens
have passed away' with a great noise,
and the elements have melted with fer-
vent heat, and the redeemed are gath-
ered around the thione of Jesus?
The Saviour calls,
Ye wanderers conic,
Oh, ye benighted souls
Why longer roam?
The Spirit calls to -day.
Yield to His power ;
Oh, grieve Him not away,
'Tis morey's hour.

Origin of the Name Yankee.
For the last 100 or more years the
philologists have been pondering and
theorizing as to the probable origin of
the word "Yankee," -and yet the mys-
tery has not been solved. Thierry
thought it to be a corruption of "Jan-
kia,'S'a diminutive of John, a name that
was frequently bestowed upon the
Dutch colonists of New York by their
Connecticut nei"•hbors. Dr. William
Gordon. one of the first to write a his-
tory of the war of independence, seems
to have entert tined an entirely differ-
ent opinion. He says that '1 ankee"
was a slang or . cant word in
use in Cambridge, Boston and other of
the larger Massachusetts towns as early
as 1713, being at that time used
in the sense of denoting something of
more than ordinary merit, such as
"Yankee good wagon," "Yankee good
weather," etc. In some cases it was
used without the word good, for which
word it then stood as an equivalent, as
"Yankee cider," etc. Aubury, an Eng-
lish writer, gives still another theory to
account for the origin of the word. He
says: "It is derived from a Cherokee
Indian word—eankko—which signifies
both 'coward' and 'slave.' It • was be-
stowed on the inhabitants of New Eng-
land by the inhabitants of Virginia be-
, cause the former ' would not assist them
in their 'war with the Indians, from
whose language the word was taken,
and was at first only used as a term of
derision. "—St. Louis Republic.
Society Event le Labrador.
Prof. Mite who has just returned fres
the exploration of Labrador says t
"There is no population in Labrador
outside of the few fisherman seuttcred
along the seacoast, but before leaving
Cape Charles we were invited to the
greatest society event in the whole of
Labrador last summer. It was a dance
given in a fish -house. There were three
girls and two Esquimo belles to be dis-
tributed as partners among more than
fifty men. An Esquimo with an old fid-
dle made the music and played the
"Arkansaw Traveler" in very effective
style. Regarding our collections, a
splendid assortment of insect life was
secured. I found eight new butterflies
which have not been described in the
entomology of Labrador. The animal
life is sub -Arctic as well as the flora and
is therefore rather scanty. In addition
to the larger animals which came under
the head ,of game, some rare winter
shrews wee discovered, and a remark-
ably varied collection of toads peculiar
to Labrador. Two new land birds were
secured, and a large collection of water
fowl."

Your Burden of Pain
and Suffe`invf will
Roll Away,
Paine's Celery Compound Heals
and Cures.
Thousa►,t Have Been Given
a New lease of life,
Test its Virtues, Weary
Sufferer.
"Go with thy pains to the fountain,
Go with thy load of disease ;
Use nature's curer and healer,
Thou shalt have health, strength and
ease."
Every ailing, sick and diseased man,
woman and child must go to the same
fountain for cure. There is no fashion-
able or royal road for the elite, and
wealthy of society ;• the noble of birth,
the titled and affluent must lay hold
of the same means for banishing dis-
ease and suffering that is so eagerly
sought after by those in humbler posi-
tions and cil•cutnstances.
As the sun shines on the rich and
poor, the righteous and unrighteous,
blessing all alike; so does Paine's Cel-
ety Compound give life, health,
strength and a fresh lease of life to
people of every grade and, class who
are victims of nervousness, rheumat-
ism, neuralgia, dyspepsia, indigestion
and liver and kidney troubles.
All troubles quickly roll away when
nature's great medicine is used. In
the past tens of thousands have used
the waters of that unfailing fountain
of virtues, and have Peen made whole.
Thousands are testing it to -day, and
miraculous results are the fruits. If
you are suffering, dear reader, delay
no longer ; test the great healer that
has won so many victories, it will meet
your wants and needs. For your en-
couragement the following letter from
M•rs. Fanny M. Huff, of Salmon Point,
Ont.. is given as a proof of what re-
sults you reap, if you use Paine's Cel-
ery Compound :—
"After receiving so much benefit
from Paine's Celery Compound, I. think
it my duty to inform sufferers what this
great medicine can do for all who wish
to regain health and strength. I have
been at great sufferer for years from
nervousness and weakness, and have
had the advice and• attendance of•doc-
tors with but little benefit. 1 was in-
duced to use your Paine's Celery Com-
pound, some time ago, and I must con-
fess itis the best medicine I ever used.
Nothing else has ever done me so much

The Preservation of Eggs
The egg shell is perforated bye ntyratid
of small !.tyres, which can only, be per-
ceived by the aid of a utiscroscope.
Their effect is evident, because it is
by then, that day by day the albumen
evaporates and gives places to air.
When the egg is completely' full a fluid

Is the principals gent of corruption ;
this corruption is matniftsted more
raipidly in warm than in cold
vi'ather. An egg absolutely fresh
is absolutely and pro'erlaially full, but
in the stale eggs there is .t proportion-
ally empty place caused by the loss of
albumen by evaporation. If the tongue
is applied to the end of a fresh egg it
is telt to be completely cool; whilst if
applied to a stale egg, it is found to be
warm, because the albumen of the new
egg, being in contact with the shell ab-
sorbs the heat of the tongue 11)010 rap-
idly than the air contained in the
shtbt of a stale egg. By inter-
cepting the air and preventing it frotn
penetrating the shell, so as not to kill
the germ and prevent it hatching, the
egg can be preserved longer than in
any other way. There have been ole
tained, says a French writer, chickens
hatched from eggs kept for two years
in varnish (glaze►. This, he states,
may be thus prepared: Dissolve some
guru -lake in a sufficient quantity of
alcohol to make a slight glaze; put in
each egg, and when all the eggs are
completely dry place thein in,bran or
wood sawdust, taking care to place
the large end upwards, and preventing
them from damage or rolling about.
When the eggs are wanted, carefully
remove the glaze with some alcohol
and they will be found in the same
state as when they were enveloped,
that is to say, good to eat or to hatch.
This method is said to be the hest and
the most sure that has yet been tried.

follows :
For 12 years previous to the last few

twelve different doctors, besides many
bpatent medicines but received no
enefit, blit gradually became worse.

better, and it only took six bottles to
,make a complete cure.
