BIBLE MATHEMATICS. Sr. Talmage Discourses on the Num eral Seven. A rTrlt Hnmbcr with tht) Dlilit Una Take Car of the Pres. cat( Got Will Take Car of th Fatare. (Copyright, 1898. by Louli Klopsch. . Washington, June tS. Many of f he Important dot-trinet of the Bible of e by Dr. Talmage presented in thil lerraon in a very unutual way. Genesis it, 3: "Qod blessed the seventh day." The mathematics ot the Bible is no ticeable; the geometry and the arith metic, the square in Kzekiel, the cir cle spoken of in Isaiah, the curve al luded to in Job, the rule of fractions mentioned Jn Daniel, the rule of loss and gain in Mark, where Christ asks the people to cipher out by that rule what it would "profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his soul." But there is one mathematical figure that is crowned above all others in the Bible. It is the numeral seven, which the Arabians got from India and all following ages have taken from the Arabians. It stands between the fig ure six and the figure eight. In the Bible all the other numerals bow to it. Over 300 times it is mentioned in the Scriptures, either alone or compound ed with other words. In Genesis the week is rounded into seven days, and I use my text because there this nu meral is for the first time Introduced in a journey which halts not until in the close of the book of Revelation its mon ument is built into the wall of Heaven in chrysolite, which in the strata of nreaiotis stones is the seventh. In the Bible we find that Jacob had to serve seven years to get Rachel, but she was well worth it, and, foretelling the years of prosperity and famine in Pharoah's time, the seven fat oxen were eaten up of the seven lean oxen, and wisdom is suld to be built on seven pillars, and the ark was left with the Philistines seven years, and Nuaman, for the cure of his leprosy, plunged in the Jordan seven times; to the house that Ezekiel saw in vision there were -seven steps; the walls of Jericho, be fore they fell down, were compassed even duys; Zechariah describes n stone with seven eyes; to cleanse a leprous house the door must be sprinkled with pigeon's blood seven times; in Canaan were overthrown seven nations; on one occasion Christ cast out seven devils; on a mountain he fed a muntitude of peoptc with seven loaves, the fragments left filling seven baskets, and the closing passages of the Bible arc magnificent and over whelming with the Imagery made up of seven churches, seven stars, seven candlesticks, seven seals, seven angels and seven heads and seven crowns and even hornB and seven spirits and seven .k!ni .1 ..i nn.t puiuu, aim .ecu i.But. uuu '" thunders. Yea, the numeral seven seems a fa vorite with the Divine mind outside as well as inside the Bible, for art thsre not seven prismatic colors? And when Cod with the rainbow wrote the com forting thought that the world would never have another deluge lie wrote "it on ths scroll of the sky in ink of seven colors. He grouped into the Pleiades seven stars. Rome, the capital of the world, sat on seven hills. When Goi , would make the most intelligent thing on earth, the human countenance, He fashioned it with seven features the two ears, the two eyes, the two nos trils and' the mouth. Yen, oiar body lasts only seven years, and we grad ually shed It for another body aftsc an other seven years, and so on, for we are as to our bodies septenniul animals. So the numeral seven runges through nature and through revelution. It is the number of perfection, and so I use it while I speak of the seven candle sticks, the seven stars, the seven seals - and the seven thunders. The seven golden candlesticks were and are the churches. Murk you, the churches never were and never can be candles. They are. only candlesticks. They are not the light, but they are to hold the light. A room in the night might have in it 800 candlesticks and jret you could not see your hand be fore your face. The only use of a can dlestick, and the only use of a church, is to hold up the light. You see it is a dark world, the night of sin, the night of trouble, the night of superstition, the night of persecution, the night of poverty, the night of sickness, the night of death; aye, about 50 nights bave interlocked their shadows. The whole race goe Btumbllng over pros trated hopes and fallen fortunes and empty flour barrels and desolate cra dles and deathbeds. How much we bave use for all the seven candlesticks, with lights blazing from the top of each one of them! Light of pardon for all sin! Light of comfort for all trouble! Light of encouragement for all despondency! Light of eternal riches for all povertyl Light of res cue for all persecution! Light of re union for all the bereft! Light of Heaven for all the dyingl And that light is Christ, who is the light that shall yet irradiate the hemispheres. ' But mark you, when I say churches are not candles, but candlesticks, I cast no slur on candlesticks. I believe in beautiful cundlcsticks. The candle sticks that God ordered for the ancient tabernacle were something exquisite. They were a dream of beauty curvet? out of loveliness. They were made of hammered gold, stood in a foot of gold and had six branches of gold blooming all along in six lilies of gold each, and lips of gold, from which the candles lifted their holy fire. And the best houses in any city ought to be the churches the best built, the best ven tilated, the best swept, the best win dowed and the best chandcliered. Log cabins may do in ncighbodhoods where most of the people live in log cabins, but let there be palatlul churches for regions where many of the people live in palaces. Do not have a better place for yourself than for your Lord and King. Do not live in a parlor and put your Christ In a kitchen. These seven candlesticks of which I spetyk were not made of pewter or iron. They were golden candlesticks, and gold is not only a valuable, but a bright mefllti Have everything about your church bright your ushers with smil ing faces, your music jubilant, your handshaking cordial, your entire serv ice attractive. Many people feel that In church, they must look dull, la or der to be reverential, snd many whose faces in other kinds of assemblage show all the different'phasea of emotion have in church no more expression than the back wheel of a hearse. Brighten up and be responsive. If you feel like weeping, weep. If you feel like smil ing, smile. If you feel indignant at some wrong assailed from the pulpit, frown. Do not leave your naturalness and resiliency home because it is Sun day morning. If as officers of a church you meet people at the church door with a black look, and have the music black and the minister in black preach a black sermon, and from invocation to benediction have the impression black, few will come, and those who do coma will wish they had not come at ail. Golden candlesticks! Scour up the six lilies on each branch and known that the more lovely and bright they are the more fit they are to hold the light. But a Christless light is a damage to the world rather than a good. Cromwell stabled his cavalry horses in St. Paul's cathedra I.and many now use thechurch in which to stable vanities and world li nens. A worldly church Is a candlestick without the candle, and it had its proto type in St. Sophia, in Constantinople, built to the glory of God by Constantine, but transformed to base uses by Mo hammed the second. Built out of col ored marble, a cupola with 24 win dows soaring to a height of 180 feet, the ceiling one great bewilderment of mo saic, galleries supported by eight col umns of porphyry and 67 columns of green jasper, nine bronze doors -with alto relievo work fascinating to the eye of any artist, vases and vestments in crusted with all manner of precious stones. Pour walls on fire with inde scribable splendor. Though lubor was cheap, the building cost $1,500,000. Ecclesiastical structure, almost supernatural in pomp and majes ty. But Mohammedanism tore down from the walls of that building all the saintly and Chrlstly images, and high up in the dome the figure of the cross was rubbed out that the crescent of the barbarous Turk might be substituted. A great church, but no Christ! A gorgeous candlestick, but no candle! Ten thousand such churches would not give the world as much light as one homemade tallow candle by which last night Borne grandmother in the eighties put on her spectacles and read the Psalms of David in large type. L'p'with the churches by all means! Hundreds of them, thousands of them, and the more the better. But let each one be a blaze of heavenly light, making the world brighter and krighter, till the last shadow has disappeared and the Inst of the suffering children of God shall have renched the land where they have no need of candlestick or "of can dle, neither light of the sun, for the Lord God giveth them light, and they shall reign forever and ever." Seven candlesticks the complete number of lights! Let your light shine before men, that they, seeing your good works, may glorify your Father which 1b in Heaven. Turn now in your Bible to the seven stars. We are distinctly told that they are the ministsrs of religion. Some are large stars, some of them small stars, some of them sweep a wide circuit and some of them a small circuit, but so far as they ore genuine they get their light from the great central sun around whom they make revolution. Let each one keep in his own sphere. The solar system would be soon wrecked if the stars, instead of keeping their own or bits, should go to hunting down other stars. Ministers of religion should never clash. But In all the centuries of the Christian church some of these stars have been hunting an Edward Irving or a Horace Bushnell or an Al bert Karnes, and the stars that were in pursuit of the other stars lost their own orbit, and some of them could never again find It. Alas for the heresy hunt ers! The best way to destory error is to preach the truth. The best wny to scutter darkness is to strike a light. There is in immensity room enough for all the stars and in the church room enough for all the ministers. The min isters who give up righteousness and the truth will get punishment enough anyhow, for they are "the wandering stars for whom is reserved the black ness of darkness forever." I should like, as a minister, when I am dying to be able truthfully to say what a captain of the English army, fallen at the head of his column and dying on the Egyptian battlefield, said to Gen. Wolselcy, who came to condole with him: "1 led them straight. Didn't I lend them straight, general?" God has put us ministers as cuptuins in this battlefield of truth ugainst error. Great at Inst will be our chagrin if we fall leading the poople the wrong way, but great will be our gladness if, when the battle is over we can hand oursword back to our great commander, saying: "Lord Jesus! We led the people straight. Didn't we lead them straight?" Those ministers who go off at a tangent and preach some other gospels are not stars, but comets, and they flash across the heavens a little while and make people stare and throw down a few meteoric stones, and then go out of sight if not out of existence. Brethren in the ministry, let us remem ber that God calls us stars, and our business is to shine and to keep our own sphere, and then when we get done try ing tp light up the darkness of this world we will wheclintohigherspheres, and in us shall be fulfilled the promise: "They that turn many to righteousness shall shine as the stars forever ' and ever." The ministers are not all Pecksniffs and canting hypocrites, as some would have you think! Forgive me if, having at other times glorified themedicul pro fession and the legal profession and the literary profession, I glorify my own. I have seen them in their homes snd heard them in their pulpits, and a grander array of men never breathed, and the Bible figure is not strained when it culls them stars. And whole constellations of glorious ministers have already taken their places on high, where they shine even brighter than they shone on earth. Edward X. Kirk of the Congregational church, Stephen H. Tying of the Episcopal church, Mat thew Simpson of the Methodist church, John Howling of the Baptist church, Samuel K. Talmage of the Presbyterian church, Thomas De Witt of the Re formed church, John Chambers of the Independent church, and there 1 stop, for it so happens that I have mentioned the seven stars of the seven churches. ' I pass on to another mighty Bible seven, and they are the seven seals. 6t. John in vision saw a scroll with seven seals, and he heard an angel cry: "Who Is worthy to loose the seals there of?" Take eight or ten sheets of fools cap paper, paste them together snd roll them into a scroll and have the scroll at seven different places sealed with sealing wax. You unroll the scroll until you come to one of those seals, snd then you can go no farther until you break that seal. Then unroll again until you come to another seal, and you can go farther until you break that seal. Then you go on until all the seven teals are broken and the contents of the entire scroll are revealed. Now that scroll with seven teals held by the angel was the prophecy of what wat to come on earth. It meant that the knowledge of the future was with God, and no man and no angel wat worthy to open it, but the Bible tays Christ opened it snd broke all the seven seals. He broke tile first seal and unrolled the scroll, and there was a picture of a white horse, and that meant prosperity and triumph for the Roman empire, and so it really came to pass that for 00 years virtuous emperors succeeded each other Nerva, Trajan and Antoninus. Christ in the vision broke the second seal and un rolled again, and there was a seal of a red horse, and that meant bloodshed, and so it really came to pass, and the next 00 years were red with assassina tions and wars. Then Christ broke the third seal and unrolled it. and there was a picture of a black horse, which In all literature means famine, oppres sion and taxation, and so it really came to pass. Christ went on until He broke all the seven seals and opened all fhe scroll. Well, the future of nil of us is in a sealed scroll, and I am glad that no one but Christ can open it. Do not let us join that class of Christians in our day who are trying to break the seven teals of the future. They are trying to peep into things they have no business with. Do not go to some necromancer or spiritualist or soothsayer or fortune teller to find out what is going to hap pen to yonrseW or your family or your friends. Wait till Christ breaks the teal to find out whether in your own personal life or the life of the nation or ths life of the world it is going to be the white horse of prosperity or the red horse of war or the black horse of fam ine. You will soon enough see him paw and hear him neigh. Take care of the present, and the future will take care of itself. If a man live 70 years, his biography is in a scroll having at least seven senls. And let him not dur ing the first ten years of his life try to look into the twenties, nor the twen ties into the thirties, nor the thirties into the forties, nor the forties into the fifties, nor the fifties into the sixties, nor t lie sixties into the seventies. From the way the years have got the habit of rac'ng along I guess you will not have to wait a great while before all the seal of the future are broken. I would not give two cents to know how long I am going to live or in what day or what year the world is going to be demol ished. I would rather give $1,000 not to know. Suppose some one could brenk the next seal in the scroll of your personal history and should tell you that on the next Fourth of July, 1001, you were to die, the summer after next, how much would you be good for be'ween this and that? It would from now nntfl then be a prolonged funeral. You would be counting the months and the days, and yonr family and friends would be counting them, and next Fourth of July you would rub your hands together and whine: "One year from to-dny I am to go. Dear me! I wish no one had told me so long before. 1 wish that neeromnncy had not broken the seal of the future." And meeting some undertaker, you would say: "I hope you will keep yourself free for an engagement the Fourth of Jluy, 1901. That day you will be needed at my house. To save time you might as well take my measure now, 5 feet 11 inches." I am glad that Christ dropped a thick veil over the hour of our de mise, and of the hour of the world's de struction when He said: "Of that day and hour knoweth no man; no, not the ang..ls, but My Father only." Kiep your hands off the seven seals. There is another mighty seven of the Bible namely, the seven thunders. What those thunders meant we are not told, and there bus been much guessing about them. But they are to come, we are told, before the end of all things, and the world cannot get along with ont them. Thunder is the Bpeech of lightning. There are evils in our world which must be thundered down and which will require at least seven vol leys to prostrate them. We are all doing nice, delicate, toft handed work, in churcheB and reformatory institu tions, against the evils of the world, and much of It amounts to a teaspoon dipped out of the Atlantic ocean, or a clam shell digging away at a mountain, or a tack hammer smiting the Gibral tar. What is needed is thunderbolts, and at least seven of them. There it the long line of fraudulent commercial establishments, every stone in the foundation and every brick in the wall, and every nail in the rafter mode out of dishonesty, skeletons of poorly-paid sewing girls' armB In every beam of that establishment, human nerves worked into every figure of that em broidery, blood in the deep dye of that refulgent upholstery, billions of dol lars of accumulated fraud Intrenched in massive storehouses and stock com panies manipulated by unscrupulous men, until the monopoly is defiant of all earth and heaven. How Bhall the evil be overcome? By treatises on the maxim: "Honesty is the best policy'" Or by soft repetition of the Golden Rule that we must "Do unto others as we would have them do to us?" No, it will not be done thot way. What is needed and will come it the seven thun ders. There is drunkenness backed up by a tapital mightier than In any other business. Intoxicating liquors enough In this country to flout a navy. Good grain to the amount of 67,950,000 bush ell annually destroyed to make tbt deadly liquid. Breweries, distilleries, gin shops, rum palaces, liquor associa tions, our nation spending annually $740,000,000 for rum, resulting in bank ruptcy, disease, pauperism, filth, as sassination, death, illimitable Wot, What will stop them? - High lioentsf No. Prohibition lawt?

With" nearly all who ara seeking place to spend the vacation time, or to live for the tummer season a prime requisite is suitable water for tailing. There are many detires and different ideas on this subject as on fishing or any other sport. For some racing alone is attractive, for others long cruises with frequent ttopovert making good barbort necessities, and then there are a great many who desire quiet water and with whom safety is the first thought. Long Island with its two hundred and fifty miles of coast line offers to every class of sailor his heart felt desire. Yachtsmen have found the tail around Long Island one of the most attractive and varied courses known. Along the track of the big liners on the Ocean or South Shore, or down the Sound with its numberless bays, beauti ful harbors and safe anchorage; the harbors surrounded as they are by wooded hills, beautiful towns and pic turesque villages, abrupt bluffs and stretching beauties of the South Shore give new pleasures each day. In the Sound the early trials of all the famous racers which have successfully defend ed the cup against all comers for years have been made. Many of the most fa mous clubs have fine nouses and every possible comfort for the yachtsmen. On the South Shore there Is another at traction in its Great South Bay, Shlnne cock Bay and the many connectioni separated from the Ocean by Fire Is land. While the water is constantly changing, and the breezes meet little obstruction, there are no heavy rollers tnd white caps, and the factor of safety is raised to a very high point. The fastest cat-boats are built in this sec tion, and are known everywhere, and many a famous yachtsman of to-day took his first lessons and gained his skill and experience on these waters. An unequaled advantage is the fact that all points on the Island are in close touch with Greater New York by fast express trains and further by telegraph and long distance telephone. A COSTLY ERROR. The Merchant Thonaht the Assessor Wat a Representative of Bradstreet't. One of the lawyers lays that a client of his is the hero of this story, and that it happened here within a year or two. A man from the assessor's oltiie went into the atore of a Hebrew merchant in the pursuit of hit duties. The two had a slight acquaintance, to that the assistant asses sor did not think it necetsary to explain hii business. He was rather surprised when, in answer to hit questions, the storekeeper proceeded to dilate on the value of his stock. De finest in any store of de size in de city. It issn't vort' a cent less than $5,000." "Suppose I put it down at that, then," taid the assessor's man. "Doit. Do it," said the proprietor. "Yer von't maig no mistake." So the assessor's man did it. There wat lamentation in the ttore when the tax bill showed the proprietor that he was taxed on $5,000 personal, and he rushed over to the assesaor'a office with all possible speed. "Vat iss dit? Vat iss dis?" he asked them, excitedly. "I bave no personal but de Hock in my store. I'm a liar if it's vort' $800. Come down and look it ofer." They told him that the records showed that be had given the figure to the as sistant assessor. Hit hands went np over hit head in hor ror. "My goodness, my goodness !" ha ahouted "Vat dat your man ? I thought ht vat from Brtdttreet'i." Worcetter Ga sette. , GREAT LEGAL VICTORY. Valre of Honored Trade Name Up. held hr the Halted State Circuit Court. The California Fig Syrup Co., of San Francisco, has just won a legal victory which is of utmost public interest, as it establishes judicially a fact long recog nized ethically that the name or the title of an article is valuable property, entitled to the same protection as chat tels or commercial paper. The com pany mentioned manufactures an ex cellent laxative which has been exten tively advertised and acquired a valu able reputation under the name "Syrup of Figs," or "Fig Syrup." Trading on the reputation of thia remedy other manufacturing concerns applied the lame name to laxative medicines made by them. The California Fig Syrup Co. took the matter in the United Statet courts and obtained a permanent in junction, of which the following is the text: "It It thereupon ordered, adjudged and decreed, that the Injunction and restrain ing; order heretofore made herein be con tinued until final decree herein, and to that end that an injunction be Issued as prayed for In the bill of complaint herein, strictly commandint; and enjoining the defendanti, Clinton E.

This decision Is of far-reaching im portance to all manufacturers whose products bear a recognized title, as well as a protection to the public whose con fidence naturally rests in a large meas ure upon the name of the goodt it buys.

Concerning a modern up-to-date hog house costing $200 or more, large enough to accommodate 40 or 50, would say that'in building pigpens, like every thing eluc, the best Is always cheapest. The plun shown herewith needs but lit tle explanation, aa it can be construct ed according to the means at the build er's command and it can be made to suit the size of one's herd. You could easily construct a four-room feeding house on this plan out of good dressed lumber for less than $200, especiully if you are able to do your own car penter work. When as many as 40 or 50 hogs are to be kept they always do better if kept In different pens accord ing to Bize and age. It is also neces sary that different aged animals be fed a different ration for best and most satisfactory results, and this can only be done when we have our hogs prop erly graded and separated. One thing we would have in making a hog house nnd that Is a concrete floor. Any other floor is objectionable In some way. All kinds of wooden floors mnke bad rat harbors unless they are built up high off the ground, and in most cases they soon begin to decay nnd make pens un healthy, lly letting the concrete extend out to the walls all round no ruts can do any damage and you can scrape or wash out your house as clean as a jug ut any time. The cost of a concrete floor may be a little more than wood to start with, but it is cheapest in the end. Let the sleeping rooms be made like a lenn-to, roof sloping just one way und fucing the south if possible. In these we would have no floor. They ""sy im (.tin ifvw a MODEL PIO HOirSE. can be moved about the yard from tims to time and thus keep n nice pure place for pigs to sleep, every time it is moved using clean bedding, or rnthei moving every time clean bedding ii used. Water is best supplied out ir the lots instead of in the feed room as hogs will keep the feed room mor or less filthy if water is supplied there especially if they can get to it to wal low. A small cistern or well Is located in storage room from which under ground pipes may extend to the sev eral lots. In making fences betweci lots do not make them more than thret or four boards high, just so a man car, straddle over them comfortably. Thii you will find very convenient in look' ing after your hogs. The outside fenct may be higher if other'stock have ac cess to pens snd are likely to jump Two and a half feet is high enough foi all inside fences. Orange Judd Farmer. AMONG THE POULTRY. The old roosters and surplus hens may now step down and out. Hutch ducks for laying late in sea son. Keep early ones for breeding. All poultry needs shade now. If yours do not have it you nre losing money, und may lose some of your fowls, too. Don't feed fowls or chicks at liberty heavy now. Feed eury in the morning and let them hustle for the rest until early In the evening. Have a gruss catcher on the lawn mower, mow often and feed clipping! to shut-in chicks and fowls. If you have a surplus dry in the shade, and save for winter feeding. If the yarded fowls scratch holes along the fence and crawl under into the dooryard or garden, lay old boards along the fence or stretch a narrow piece of wire netting along the bottom, letting six inches or more of it lie flat on the ground. Farm Journal. Keen Yonnsr Hosts Growing. There is an impression among farm ers that hogs In summer at pasture can get enough with the swill from the house and what they can get in the fields. This was all right so long at skinimilk, one of the best foods for growth, was purt of the swill, and tin eaten refuse from the table was also thrown in. But in many plnces the skimmed milk is now sold in some form, while a better use for table refuse if, found in giving it to the poultry. So tne pig is starved in summer, which is the time he ought to grow the fastest, and is the poorest preparation for the heavy corn feeding that will begin in September ami continue until the pig is turned over to the butcher. A hiilf- ntnrved animal loses the power of di gesting hearty food, for the stomach, like every other organ of the body, needs to hnve something to do to keep in good health and strength. A inert' can Cultivator. Food of tne Brood Mare. The mare with fool should have plenty of nutritious food, but it should not be the kind that promotes the ac cumulation of fat. The foul is devel oped through the feed to the dam, and for that development is needed the class of feeding stuff that builds up its frame. Aside from that It is not well for the foul for the mure to have much fat, as there is with such condition often a certain tendency to a feverish state which would prevent the foal from receiving heulihy Biipport. Let the feed contain but little corn, con sistiag mostly of oats, bran and good roughage. J uet before the time of foal ing the feed should have a somewhat laxative efTt-ct, and at the tame time should have the constituents that pro mote milk production. Texas Stock and Farm Journal.

Sir Charles Cameron, who is well known as a prison reformer, said tp a representative of the press: The Al ay brick case is one of the planks of our society's platform, and now that Sir Matthew White Bridley, secretary of state to the home depart ment, is reviewing the case by Lord Salisbury's direction and through the pressure of the American government, exerted through their excellent ambas sador, it will only be a matter of a very short time, in my opinion, before her unconditional release. Until then ibis strong society will never cease to back up all efforts in that direction: enlas. 'How it it Wilkint over there looks s cool when everything else it sweltering!" "Ah, Wilkint it smart.
