The• case was attended by our physician. and was supposed to be weil under control. One night I was startled by, the child's hard breathing, and on going to it found it stran- gling. It had nearly ceased to breathe. Realizing that the child's alarming condition had become possible in spite of the medicines given, I reasoned that such remedies would Fe of no avail. Having part of a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in the house, I gave the child three doses, at shcirt intervals, and anniously waited results.

REV. DR, TALIVIAGE'S IMPRESSION OF BENARES, INDIA. The Mecca of Hindoolstn-Sights at the Banks of the:River Ganges -Burning the Dead -Fakirs, Monkeys and Missionaries. - A Brighter Picture. - BROOKLYN, Deo. 16. -Rev. Dr. Talmage today delivered the third of his series of round the world sermons throngh. the press, the subject being tho "Burning of the °Dead," and.. the text: . "They have hands, but they handle not; feet have they, but they walk not; neither speak they through their throet. They that make them are like „mute them. "-Psalm cxv„ 7, 8. - The life of the missionary is a luxurious and indolent life. Hiudooisin is a religion that ought not to be interfered with. Chrialanity is guiltiof an. impertinence when It invades heathendom. You must put in the same lino of reverence Brahma, Buddha, Mohammed and Christ.- To re- fute these slanders and blasphemies now so prevalent, and to spread out before the Christian world the between idolatrous and Christian countries, I preach this -third sermon inInv round the , . world .scries. At the Headquarters of Heathendom. In this discourse I take you to tho very headquarters of heathendom, to the very capital of Hindooism, for what Mecca is to the Mohammedan, and.what Jerusalem Is to the Christian, Benares, India, is to tho Hindoo. Wo arrived there in the even- ing, and the next morning we started out early, -among other things to see the burn- ing of the dead. Wo saw it, cremation, not ashriany good people in Aimirica and England are now advocating it -namely, the burning of the dead in clean and or- derly and -refined crematory, the hot fur- nace soon reducing tho human form to a powder to be carefully preserved In an urn. -but cremation as the Hindoos prac- tice it. . We got into e boot and wore rowed down the river Ganges until wo came opposite to where five dead bodies lay, four of them *ODIC.11 wrapped in red garments and a - man wrapped in white. Our boat fas- tened, we waited nod watched. High piles of wood were on the bank, and this wood is caretully weighed on largo scales, according as tho friends of the deceased can afford to pay for it. In manY, cases onlY a few sticks can be afforded, and the dead body is burned only a little and then thrown into the Ganges. But where the relatives of the deceased aro well to do an abundance of wood in pieces 4 or 5 feet long is purchased. Two or three layers of 'sticks are then put on the ground to re- ceive the dead form. .Small pieces of ean- dal weed are inserted to produce fragrance. The deceased is lifted from the resting place and put upon this wood. Then the cover is ecinoved from the face of the corpse, and it is bathed with water et the Ganges. Then :several more layers of wood are put upon the body, and other sticks are placed on both sides of it, but the head and feet are loft exposed. Then a quantity- of,grease sufficient to make everything in- flammable is put on the wood and into the mouth of the dood. Then ono of the richest men in Benares, his fortune made In this way, furnishes the fire, and after the priest has mumbled a few words the eldest son -Walks three times around the sacred pile and then applies the torch, and tbo fire blazes up, and in a short time the body has become the ashes which the c relatives throw into the Ganges. ' A Vile Stream. , We saw floatiug past us on the Ganges the body of a child which .had been only partly burned because tho parents could .not afford` enough wood. While wo watched the floating form of the child a crow alighted upon it. In the meantime hundreds of Flintioos were bathing in the river, dipping their heads, filling their - mouths, supplying their brass cups, mut- tering words of so called prayer.. Such a mingling of superstition and loathsome- ness and inhumanity I had 'never before seen. The Ganges is to the Hindoot the best river of, all the earth, but to me it is the vilest stream that ever rolled its stench in horror to the sea. I looked all along the "banks for the 'mourners for the dead. I saw in two of the cities nine cremations, but in no case a.sad look or a tear. I said to friends: "How is this? Have tho living no grief for the dead?" I found that the women do not come forth on such occa- sions, but that does not account for the absence of all signs of grief. There is an- other reason more potent. Men do not see the faces of their wives until after mar- riage. They take them on recommenda- tion. Marriages thus formed, of course, have not much affection in thein. Women aro married at 7 and 10 years of ago and are grandmothers at 80. Such unwiaely formed family associations do not imply much ardor of-love.0 The family so poorly put together, who wonders that it is easily tekeo apart? And so 1 account for tho ab- sence of all signs -of grief at the cremation of the Hindoos. Bonares is the capital of Hindooism and Buddhism, but "Hindooism has trampled Out Buddhism, the hoof of the one mon- ster on the grizzly neck of the other mon- ster. It is also -the capital. of filth, and the capital of malodors, and the capital of indecency. The Hindoos say they have 300,000,000 gods. Bemires being the head- quarters of these deities, you will not be surprised to find that the making of gods is a profitable business. Here there are carpenters making wooden gods, and brass workers making brass gods, and sculptors making stone gods, and potters making clay gods. I cannot think of the abomi- nations practiced here without a recoil of stomach and a need of cologne. Although much is said about the 'carving on the temples of this city, everything is so vile that there is not much room left for the . -msthetie. The devotees enter the temples nineteen -twentieths unclothed and depart begging. All that Hindooism can do for a man or woman it does hero. Notwith- standing all that may have been said in its favor at the parliament of religions in Chicago, it makes man a brute and wom- an the lowest type of slave. I would rath- er .he a horse or a cow or a dog in India than be a woman. The greatest disaster that can happen to a Hindoo is that he was born at all. Curious Sights. Benares is imposing in the distance as you look at it from the other side of the Ganges. The 47 ghats, or flights of stone steps, reaching from the water's edge to She buildings high up on the banks, inark a place for the. ascent and descent Of the sublimities. The eye is lost in the bewilS derment of tombs, shrines, minarets, pal- aces and temples. It is the glorification of steps, the triumph of stairways, but looked at cibse by the temples, though large and& expensive, are anything but attractive.:i The seeming gold to many cases turns out, to bo brase. The precious stones in the. wan turn out to be paint. The -marble is stucco. The slippery and disgusting steps lead you to images of horrible visage, and the flowers put upon the altar have their fragrance submerged by that which is the opposite of aromatics. After you have seen the ghats the two great things in Bemires that you must see are tho Golden- and Monkey temples. About the vast Golden temple there is not as much gold as would make an English soverelen. The air itself is asphyxiated. Here We see mon milking gods Mit of mutt and then putting their hands together in 'Worship of that which themselves have made. Sacred cows walk np_and down the temple. Here stood a fakir, with a right arm uplifted and for so long a time that he could not take it down, and the nailaof the handhad grown until they looked like serpents windintin and around the palm. The god of the Golden temple is Siva, or the poison :god. Devils wait upon him. Ho is the god of war, of famine, of pesti- lence. Ho is the destroyer. He lute around his neck a string of skulls. Before hihn. bow men whose hair never knew a comb; They eat carrion and that which Is worse. Bolls and drums here. Bet up a racket. Pilgrims -come from hundreds of miles " away, 'spending their last piece of , money and exhausting their last item of strength in order to roach this Golden temple, glad to die in or near it and ,have the agites of their bodies thrown into the Ganges. Respect For Monkeys. We took a carriage and went still far- ther on to see the Monkey temple, so called because in and around thq building monkeys abound and aro kept as sacred. All evolutionists should visit this temple devoted to the family from which their aucestors came. These monkeys chatter and wink and climb and look wise and look silly and have full possession of the place. We wore asked at the entrance of the Monkey temple to take off our shoes because of the sacredness of the place., but a small contribution placed in the hands of an attendant resulted in a permission to, enter with our shoes on. As the -Golden tenaple is dedicated .to Siva, the poison god, this Monkey temple is dedicated to Siva's wife, a doitess that must be pro- pitiated, or she will disease and blast and destroy. For centuries this spitfire has been worshiped. She is the goddess of scold and slap and tormagancy. She is supposed to be a supernatural Xantippe; hence to her are brought' flowers and rice, and hero and there the flowers are spat- tered with the blood of goats slain in sac- rifice. As We walk today through this Monkey temple wo must not hit or tease or hurt ono of them. Two Englishmen years ago. lost their lives by tile maltreatment of a monkey. Passing Mona one of these In- dian streets, a monkey did not soon enough get out of the way, and ono of these Eng- lishmen struck it with his cane. Immedi- ately the popple and tho ptiests gathered around tle&c strangers, .and the public wrath increased until the two Englishmen were pounded to death for having struck a monkey. No land in all the world so re- veres the . monkey as India, as no other land has a temple called after it. One of the rajahs of India epent 100,000 rupees in the marriage of two monkeys. A nuptial procession was fern.) ed, in which moved camels, elephants, tigers, cattle and pa- lauquins of richly -dressed people. Bands of rnusic sounded the wedding nuirch. Dancing parties kept the night sleepless. It was 12 dnys before the monkey and monkeyess were; free from their round of gay attentions.In no place but India could such a carnival have occurred; but, after all, while We cannot approve of the Monkey temple, the Monkey is sacred to hilarity. I defy any ono to WM toll a monkey one minute without laughter. Why was this creature made? For . the world's amusement. The mission of some animals Js left doubtful, and wo cannot see the usa of this or that quadruped, or this or that . insect, but the mission of the apo is cer- tain. All around the world it entertaine. -Whether seated at the top of this temple In India or cutting up its antics on the top of a hand organ, it stirs the sense of the ludicrous, tickles the diaphragm into cachinnation; topples gravity into play and accomplishes that for which it wile created. The eagle, and the lion, and the gazelle, and the robin no more certainly have their mission than has the monkey, but it implies a low form of Hindooism when this embodied 'mimicry of .the hu - mail race is lifted into worship. An Interesting Colloquy. In ono of the cities for the first time in my life I had -an opportunity of talking with a fakir, or a Hindoo who has re- nounced the world and lives on alms. He sat under a rough covering on a platform of -brick. He was covered with the a-shos of the dead and was at tho tiMe rubbing more of those ashes upon his arms and legs. He undeastood.and spoke English. I said to him, "How long have you been seated here?" He replied, "Fifteen years." "Have those idols which I see power to help or destroy?" He said: "No; they only represent God. Thero is but one God." Question. -When people die, where de they go to? Answore-That depends upon what they .have been doing. If they have been doing good, to heaven; if they have been doing evil, to hell. Q. -But do you not believe' in the trans- migration of souls, and that after death we go into birds or anirealS of sonto sort? A. -Yes. The last creature a man is thinking of while dying is the one into which he will go. 1! h.o is thinking of a bird, he will go into a bird, and if ho is thinking of a cow he will go into a cow. Q. -I thought you said that at death the soul goes to heaven or hell? A. -Ile goes there by a gradual process. It may take him years and years. Q. -Can any one become a Rim -fool' Coula I become a Hindoo? - A. -Yes, you could. Q. -How conld I become a Hindoo? A. By doing as the Hindoos do. But as I looked upon the poor, filthy wretch, bedaubing hiniself with the ashes of the dead, I thought the last thing on earth 1 would want to become would be a Hindoo I expressed to a missionary who overheard tho conversation between the fakir and inyeelf my amazement at some of the doctrines the fakir announced. The missionary said. The fakirs are very ac- commodating, and supposing you to be a friend of Christianity he announced the theory of ono God, and that of rewards and punishments." There are, however, alleviations for Ben - ares. I attended worship in one of the Christian missions. The sermon, though delivered in Hindoostanee, of which I could not understand a word, thrilled me with its earnestness and tenderness of tone, especially when the missionary told me at the close of the service that he re- cently baptized a man who was converted through reading one of my sermons among the hills of India. The songs ofthe two Christian assemblages I visited in this city, although the tunes were new and the- sentiments not translated. were up- lifting and inspiring to the last degree. There was also a school of 600 native girls, an institution established by a rnjah of generosity and wealth, a graduate of Ma- dras 'University. But, more than all, the missionaries are busy, some of them preaching on the ghats, some of them in churches, in ,chapels and bazaars.. The London Missionary society has here its college for young men, and its schools for children, and its houses of worship for all. The Church Missionary society has its fight Schools, all filled with learners. The evangelizing work of the Wesleyans and the Baptists is felt in all parts of Benares. In its mightiest stronghold Hindooisth is being assaulted. ' Life of the Missionary. And now as to the industrious malign- ment of missionaries. It has been said by some travelers after their return to Amer- ica or England that the missionaries are living a life full of indolence and luxury. That is a falsehood that I would say is as _Mali as heaven if it did not do down in hee. the opposite. direction. When strangers come into these tropical climates'the mis- sionaries do their best to entertain them, making sacrifices for that purpose. In the city of Benares a missionary told Inc that, a gentleman coining frora England into one of the mission stations ef India, the missionaries banded together to entertain him. Among other things, they had a Itam boiled, prepared and beautifully dee- orated, and the • same ham was passed around from house to house as this stran- ger appeared, and in other respects it con- spiracy of kindness was effected. The vis- itor went borne to England and wrote and spoke of the 'luxury. ih which the mission- aries of India were 1 ilpg. Americans and, .Eoglishmen come to these tropical regitins and finds mission- ary living under palms, and with different styles of fruits on his table, and forget that palms are hero as cheap as hickory or pine in America, and rich fruits as cheap as plain appies. They find here mission- aries sleeping under punkas, these fans swung day and night by coolies, and forget that 4 cents n day is good wages here, and the man finds himself. Four cents a day for a coachman, a missionary can afford to ride. There have been missionaries who have come to these hot climates resolving to live as the natives live, and one or two years have finished their work, their chief use on missionary ground being that of furnishing for a large funeral the chief object of interest. So far'froin living in idleness, no Dien on earth work so hard as the missionaries now in the foreign field. Against fearful odds, and with 8,000,000 of Christians opposed to 250,000,000 of Hindoos,,Mohannuedans and other false religions, these missionaries are, trying to take India for God. Let the good people of America and Englaml and Scotland and of all Christendom add 99X per cent to their appreciation of the fidelity and con- secration of foreign missionaries. Far away from home, in an exhausting cli- mate and compelled to send their children to England, Scotland or America so as to escape the corrupt conversation and behav- ior of the natives, these men and women of God toil on until that drop into their graves, but they will got their chief appre- ciation when their work is over and the day is won, ae it will be won. No place in heaven will be too good for them. Some of the ministers at home who live on salaries of $4,000 or $5,000 a year, preach - tog the gospel of him who had not where to lay his head, will enter heaven and be welcomed, and while looking for a place to sit down thee, will be told: "Yonder in that lower lino of Ovules you will take your placed, not on the thrones nearest the King. They are reserved for the oils- sioparies!" Cause For Gladness. / Meanwhile let all Christendom bo thrill- ed with gladness. About 25,000 converts In India every year under the Methodist missions, and about 25,000 converts un- der the Baptist missions, and about 75,- 000 converts.under all missions every year. But; more than that, Christianity is un- dermining heathenism, and not a city or town or neighborhood of India but direct- ly or indirectly feels the influence, and the day speeds ou when Hindooisni will go down with it crash. There are whole vil- lages which have given up their gods, and where not an idol is left. The serfdom of womanhood in many places is being un- loosened, and the iron grip of caste is be- ing relaxed. Hunan sacrifices have ceased, and the last spark of the funeral pyre on which the widow mustleaP hag been ex- tinguished, and the juggernaut, stopped, now stands as .a curiosity for travelers to look at. All India will be taken for Christ. If any ono has any disheartenments, let - him keep them as his own private proper- ty. Ho is welcome to all of them. But if any man has any encouragements to utter let him utter them. What we want in the church and the world is less croaking owls of the night and more inorning larks with spread wing ready to meet the advancing day.' Fold up "Naomi" and "Windham" and give us '•Ariel" or "Mount Pisgah" or "Coronation." I had the joy of preaching in many of the cities of India and seeing the dusky faces of tho_natives Illumined with heavenly anticipations. In Calcutta while the congregation were yet seated I took my departure for a railroad train. I preached by the watch up to the last minute. A swift carriage brought me to the station not more than half a minute before start- ing. I came nearer to missing the train than 1 htme any one of us will come to missing heaven. - To Banish Red Ant& A famous entomologist says: "Small red ants often infest dwelling houses and become an intolerable DlliSfinep not be cause of the amount they eat, but because of their habit of 'getting into sugar and other sweets. "The important thing is to find their nests, for it is then a comparatively easy matter to destroy the entire colony. It may be that the removal of a board where they come into a room will expose their headquarters, when a little kerosene pour- ed over it will destroy all the inmates and put an end to the nuisance. "If they come from some anthill out- side of the house, they can be destroyed by making holes a foot apart in the hill and pouring a tablespoonful of bisulphido of carte, into each and stamping the groun down. The bisulphide of carbon quicky evaporates, and permeating the ground destroys all in the colony." Children and Broken Down Pianos. People often say of an old jingling pi- ano: "It will do well enough for the chil- dren to practice on. When they aro older and can play well, we will get !mother." They foeget that in the study of music the ear requires no loss education and train- ing than the fingers, and that to an ear that is already finely atteined by nature, whether the ear belongs to a child or an adult, to strike notes that are out of tune and produce discord is positive pain, and if a child's ear fails to perceive slight de- viations froin the true pitch by constantly hearing these deviations its ear becomes duller and its musical sense blunted, and an acute, delicate perception is rendered forever impossible. r.-1.....speweggonmpirmerrriewit.

It restores your strength; it puts new life into you; it brings you back into the world again. It is a powerful general, as well as uterine, tonic and nervine, especially adapted to woman's deli- cate wants. It regulates and promotes all the nat- ural functions ' and. builds up, invigorate, and cures. Creston. Iowa. DR. R. V. PIERCE: Str-My wife improved in health gradually from the time she com- menced taking "Favorite Prescription" until now. She has been doing her own housework for the past four months. When she began taking it, she was scarcely able to be on her feet, she suffered so from uterine debility. I can heartily recommend it for such cases.
