REV. DR. TALMAGE PREACHES UPON
"THE BARE ARM OF GOD." -
God Did Not So Much as Lift a Finger td
Bring- Forth the Light A Stupendous
Undertaking Need of God's Bar Arm.
1
BltooKLYN, Jan. 21. Slnjrularly appro
priate ami Impressive was the old gospel
hymn an it was sung this morning by the
thousands of Brooklyn 'iuueinacle, leu on
by cornet and orgau:
Armof tho Loril,uwnktt,av.ke!
Put on thy stronjtli, tlio nations shake.
Rev. Dr. Talmage took for his subject
"The Bare Arm of God," the text being
Isaiah lit, 10, "The Ixrd batU made bare
his holy arm."
It almost taken onr breath away to read
Home of the Bible imagery. There fa such
boldness of metaphor in my text that I
have been for some time getting my cour
age up to preach from It. Isaiah, the evan
gelistic prophet, is sounding the jubilate
of our planet redoemea and cries out,
"The Lord bath made bare hisholy arm."
Whatoverw helming suggcstlvenesa in that
figure of speech, "The bare arm of Godl"
The people of Palestine to this day wear
much hindering apparel, and when they
want to run a special race, or lift a special
burden, or fight a special battle, they put
off the outside apparel, as in our land when
a man proposes a special exertion he puts
off hi coat and rolls up his sleeves. Walk
through our foundries, our machineshops,
onr mines, our factories, and you will find
that most of the toilers have their coats off
and their sleeves rolled up.
Isaiah saw that there must be a tre
mendous amount of work done before this
world becomes what it ought to be, and he
foresees it all accomplished, and accom
plished by the Almighty, not as we ordi
narily think of him, but by the Almighty
with the sleeve of his robe rolled back to
his shoulder, "The Lord hath made bare
hisholy arm."
Nothing more impresses me in the Biblo
than the ease with which God does meet
things. There is such a reserve of power.
Be has mora thunderbolts than he has
ever flung, more light than he has ever
distributed, more blue than that with
which he has overarched the sky, more
green than that with which he has emer-
alded the grass, more crimson than that
with which he has burnished the sunsets.
I say It with reverence, from all I can see.
iod has never half tried.
TIRED ARMS OF TOIL.
Ton know as well as I do that many of
the most elaborate and expensive indus
tries of our world have been employed in
creating artificial light. Half of the time
the world is dark. The moon and the
tars have their glorious uses, but as in
truments of illumination they are fall
ores. They will not allow yon to read a
book or stop the ruffianism of your great
cities. Had not the darkness been persist
ently fought back by artificial means, the
most of the world's enterprises would have
halted half the time, while the crime of
onr great municipalities would for half
toe time run rampant and untebuked;
' bence all the inventions for creating arti
ficial light, from the flint struck against
steal in centuries past to the dynamo of
onr electrical manufactories. What un
counted numbers of people at work the
year round in making chandeliers and
lamps and fixtures and wires and batteries
. where light shall be made or along which
light shall run or where light shall poise!
How many bare arms of human toil and
some of those bare arms are very tired in
the creation of light and its apparatus,
and after all the work the greater part of
the continents and hemispheres at night
" have no light at all, except perhaps the
fireflies flashing their small lanterns
across the swamp.
But see how easy God made the light I
He did not make bare his arm; he did not
even put forth his robed arm; he did not
lift so much as a finger. The flint out of
which he struck the noonday sun was the
word "Light." "Let there be light!'
Adam did not see the sun until the fourth
day, for, though the sun was created on
the first day, it took its rays from the first
to the fourth day to work through the
dense mam of fluids by which this earth
was compassed. Did you ever hear of any
thins so easv aa that? So uniauer Out
of a word came the blazing sun, the fatW
of flowers and warmth and light. Out
of a word building a fireplace for all na
tions of the earth to warm" themselves by!
Yea, seven other worlds, five of them in
conceivably larger than our own, and 79
1 asteroids, or worlds on a smaller scnlel
The warmth nnd light for this great
brotherhood, creat sisterhood, groat fum
ily of worlds, 87 larger or smaller worlds,
all from that one magnificent fireplace
made out of the one word "Light." The
stm 836,000 miles in diameterl I do not
know how much grander a solar system
God could have created if he had put forth
his robed arm, to say nothing of 'an arm
made bare! But this I know that our
noonday sun was a spark struck from the
anvil of one word, and that word "Light.
" But, " say some one, "do you not think
that In making the machinery of the uni
verse, of which our solar system is com
paratively a small wheel working into
mightier wheels, it must have caused God
some exertion the upheaval Of an arm
either robed or an arm made bare?" No,
We are distinctly told otherwise. The
machinery of a universe God made simply
with his fingers. David, inspired in
night song, says so "When I consider
thy heavens, the work of thy fingers."
ACCOMPLISHED BT FINGERS ONLY.
A Scottish clergyman told me a few
weeks aco ot dvauentla Thomas Carll
Tb Milk Turned Sour.
I will not tell you her name, bat one
of the neighbors says that durlDg her
brier visit tne other day the mtiK turn
ed sour. Her countenance looks a yard
long. She sighs perpetually. The
loud on her brow Is deep. If beaten
out thin, I believe It would cover tho
sky. Her voice Is doleful, and her eyes
, show no radiance. Her wrinkles are
numberless. She is a sorry ploture,
and all because she Is a victim of one
of those complaints common to wom
en. Her system Is deranged. Bhe
needs a course of self-treatment with
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
This Will eradicate thoroughly those
excruciating periodical pains ana rune
tlonal weaknesses Incident to her sex,
and at the same time build up and In
vigorate her whole system by its
health-imparting influence. A trial

waiting' dot wit a mend ta starry nlfnt,
at I as the friend looked up and said.
What splendid sky!" Mr. Cariyle re
plied aa he glanced op ward, "Sad sight,
aail sight!" Not so thought David aa he
mid the great Scripture of the night
uvaretix. It nu a awrep of eniliroidirry
of vast L-tpi-Mtry, God manipulated. That
in the allusion of the rata I mint to the wov
en huntings of tHpffttry aa tbvy were
known long before David'a time. Farback
In the ngea what enchantment of thread
and color, the Florentine velvets of silk and
gold and Persian earpeta woven of goats'
hair I If yon nave been In the Isobelin
manufactory of tapestry in Paris alas,
bow no moral you witnessed .woodrooa
things as yon saw the wooden needle, or
broach, going back and forth and in and
out. Yon were transfixed with admiration
t the patterns wrought. No wonder that
Louis XIV bought it, and it became the
possession ot the throne, and for a long
while none but thrones and palaces might
have any of its work. What triumphs of
loom I What victory of skilled fingers!
So David says ot the heavens that God's
fingers wove into them the light; that
God's fingers tapestried them with stars;
that God's fingers embroidered them with
worlds. How much of the immensity of
the heavens David understood I know not.
Astronomy was born in China 3,800 years
before Chlrat was born. During the reign
of Hoacg-Ti astronomers were put to death
kf they made wrong calculations about the
heavens. Job understood the refraction of
the sun's rays and said they were "turned
as the clay to the seal." The pyramids
were astronomical observatories, and they
were so long ago built that Isaiah refers to
one of them in his nineteenth chapter and
calls It the "pillar at the border." The
first of all the sciences born was astron
omy. Whether from knowledge already
abroad or from direct inspiration, ft seems
to me David had wide knowledge of the
heavens. Whether he understood the full
force ot what he wrote I know not, but the
God who inspired him knew, and be would
not let David write anything but truth,
and therefore all the worlds that the tele
scope ever reached or Copernicus or Galilei
or Kepler or Newton or Laplace or Her-
schell or our own Mitchell ever saw were
so easily made that they were made with
the fingers. As easily as with your fin
gers you mold the wax, or the clay,
or the dough to particular shapes, so he
decided the shape of our world, and that
it should weigh six sextilllon tons, and
appointed for all worlds their orbits and
decided their color the white to Sirtus,
the ruddy to Aldebaran, the yellow to Pol
lux, the blue to Altair, marrying some of
the stars, as tho 2,400 double stars that
Herschel observed, administering to the
whims of the variable stars as their glance
becomes brighter or dim, preparing what
astronomers called "the girdle ot Androm
eda" and the nebula in the sword han
dle of Orion. Worlds on worlds I Worlds
under worlds! Worlds above worlds!
Worlds beyond worlds! So many that
arithmetics are of no ubb in the calcula
tion! But he counted them as he made
them, and be made them with his fingers!
Reservation of power! Suppression of om
nipotence! Resources as yet untouched!
Almightiness yet undemonstrated! Now,
I ask for the benefit of all disheartened
Christian workers, If God accomplished
so much with his fingers, what can he do
when he puts out all his strength and
when he unlimbers all the batteries of his
omnipotence? The Bible speaks again and
again of God's outstretched arm, but only
once, nnd that in the text, of the bare arm
of God.
A GREAT UNDERTAKING.
My text makes It plain that the rectifi
cation of this world is a stupendous under
taking. It takes more power to make this
world over again than it took to make it
at first. A word was only necessary for
the first creation, but for the new creation
the unsleeved and unhindered fore arm of
the Almighty! The reason of that I can
understand. In the shipyards of Liverpool
or Glasgow or New York a great vessel is
constructed. The architect draws out the
plan, the length of the beam, the capacity
I tonnage, the relation of wheel or screw,
the cabins, the masts and all the anoolnt-
ments of this great palace ot the deep: The
architect finishes his work without any
perplexity, and the carpenters and the ar
tizans toil on the craft so many hours a
day, each one doing his part, until with
Sags flying and thousands of people huzza
ing on the docks the vessel is launched,
But out on the sea that steamer breaks
her shaft and is limping slowly along to
ward harbor when Caribbean whirlwinds,
those mighty hunters of the deep, looking
out for prey of ships, surround that wound
ed vessel and pitch iton a rocky coast, and
she lifts and falls in the breakers until ev
ery joint is loose, and every spar is down,
and every wave sweeps over the hurricane
deck as she parts midships. Would it not
require more skill and power to get that
splintered vessel off the rocks and recon
struct it than it required originally to
build her? Aye! Our world that God built
so beautiful, and which started out with
all .the flash ot Edenio foliage and with
the chant ot paradisaical bowers, has been
60 centuries pounding in the skerries of
sin and sorrow, and to get her out, and to
get her off, and to get her on the right way
again will require mora of omnipotence
than it required to build her and launch
her. So I am not surprised that though
in the drydock of one word our world was
made it will take the unsleeved arm of God
to lift her from the rocks and put her on
the right eourse again. It is evident from
my text and its comparison with other
texts that it would not be so great an un
dcrtaking to make a whole constellation
of worlds, and a whole galaxy of worlds,
and a whole astronomy of worlds and
swing tb,em in their right orbits as to take
this wotinded world, this stranded world,
this bankrupt world, this destroyed world,
and make it as good as when it started,
NEED OF POWER FROM HEAVEN.
Now, just look at the enthroned difficul
ties in the way, the removal of which, the
overthrow of which, Iseeni to require the
bare right arm of omnipotence. There
stands heathenism, with its 860,000,000
victims. 1 do not care whether you call
them Brahmans or Buddhists, Confucians
or fetich idolaters. At the World's fair
in Chicago last summer those monstrosi
ties of religion tried to make themselves
respectable, but the long hair and baggy
trousers and trinketed robes of their repre
sentatives cannot hide from the world the
facts that those religions are the authors
of funeral pyre, and juggernaut crushing,
and Ganges infanticide, and Chinese shoe
torture, and the aggregated massacres of
many centuries. They have their heels on
India, on China, on Persia, on Borneo, on
three-fourths of the acreage at poor
uiu woriu. i Know mat ine missionaries,
who are the most sacrificing and Christ
like men and women on earth, are making
steady and glorious inroads upon these
built up abominations ot the centuries.
All this stuff that you see in some of the
newspapers about the missionaries as liv
ing in luxury and idleness is promulgated
by corrupt American or English or Scotch
merchants, whose loose behavior in heath
en cities has been rebuked by the mission
aries, and these corrupt merchants write
home or tell innocent and unsuspecting
Visitors in India or China or the darkened
Islands of the sea these falsehoods about our
consecrated missionaries, who, turning
their backs on home and civilisation and
emolument and comfort, spend their lives
In trying to Introduce the mercy of the
gospel among the downtrodden of heath
enism. Some of those merchants leave
their families in America or England or
, Scotland and stay for a few years in the
ports of heathenism while they are making
their fortunes in- the tea or rice or opium
trade, and while they are thus absent from
home give themselves to orgies of disso
luteness such as no pen or tongue could,
without the abolition ot all decency, at
tempt to report. The presence of the mis
sionaries with their pure and noble houae-
tT (Boas oeataaa porta is a eoostapa
rebuke to sack debauchees sod miscreant.

morals, t-lo never did like holiness, and
you had batter act depend upon aatania
report of the sublime and multi potent
work ot our missionaries in foreign lands.
But notwithstanding all that these men
and womu of God have achieved, they
reel, and we all feel that if the idolatrous
lands are to be Christianized there needs
to be a power from the heavens that bas
not yet condescended, and we feel like
crying out in the words of Charles Wesley:
Arm of tha Lord, awake, awake!
Put oa thy strength, the nations shake.
Aye, It is not only the Lord's arm that
is needed, the holy arm. the outstretched
arm, but the bare arm!
CORRUPT RKLIOIOXS.
There, too, stands Mohammedanism,
with its 176,000,000 victims. Its Bible to
the Koran, a book not quite as large as
our New Testament, which was revealed
to Mohammed when in epileptic fits, and
resuscitated from these fits he dictated it
to scribes. Yet it is read today by more
people than any other book ever written.
Mohammed, the founder of that religion,
a polygamic, with superfluity of wives,
the first step ot his religion on the body,
mind and soul of woman, and no wonder
that the heaven of the Koran is an ever
lasting Sodom, an infinite seraglio, about
which Mohammed promises that each fol
lower shall have in that place 73 wives in
addition to all the wives he had on earth,
bnt that no old woman shall even enter
heaven.
When a bishop of England recently pro
posed that the best way of saving Moham
medans was to let them keep their reli
gion, but ingraft upon it some new prin
ciples from Christianity, he perpetrated an
ecclesiastical joke at which no man can
laugh who has ever seen the tyranny and
domestio wretchedness which always ap
pear where that religion gets foothold.
It has marched across continents and now
proposes to set up its filthy and accursed
banner in America, and what it has done
for Turkey it would like to do for our na
tion. A religion that brutally treats wom
anhood ought never to be fostered in our
country. But there never was a religion
to absurd or wicked that it did not get
disciples, and there are enough fools in
America to make a large discipleship of
Mohammedanism. This corrupt religion
has been making steady progress for hun
dreds of years, and notwithstanding all
the splendid work done by the Jessups,
and the Goodells, and the Blisses, and the
van Dykes, and the Posts, and the Misses
Bowens, and the Misses Thompsons, and
scores of other men and women ot whom
the world was not worthy there it stands,
the giant of sin, Mohammedanism, with
one foot on the heart of woman and the
other on the heart of Christ, while it mum
bles from its minarets this stupendous
blasphemy, "God is great, and Moham
med is his prophet." Let the Christian
printing presses at Beyroot and Constan
tinople keep on with their work, and the
men and women of God in the mission
fields toil until the Lord crowns them, but
what we are all hoping for is something
supernatural from the heavens, as yet un
seen, something stretched down out of the
skies, something like an arm uncovered,
the bare arm of the God of nations!
EVILS OF THE PAT.
There stands also the arch demon ot al
coholism. Its throne is white and made
of bleached human skulls. On one side of
that throne of skulls kneels in obeisance
and worship democracy, and on the other
side republicanism, and the one that
kisses the cancerous and gangrened foot
of this despot theoftenest gets the most
benedictions. There is a Hudson river, an
Ohio, a Mississippi of strong drink rolling
through this nation, but as the rivers from
which I take my figure of speech empty
into the Atlantic or the gulf this mightier
flood of sickness sod insanity and domes
tio ruin and crime and bankruptcy and
woe empties into the hearts, and the
homes, and the churches, and the time,
and the eternity of a multitude beyond
all statistics to number or describe. All
nations are mauled and scarified with
baleful stimulus or killing narcotic. The
pulque of Mexico, the cashew of Brazil,
the hasheesh of Persia, the opium of China,
the guavo of Honduras, the wedro of Rus
sia, the soma ot India, the aguardiente of
Morocco, the arak of Arabia, the mastio
ot Syria, the raki of Turkey, the beer of
Germany, the whisky ot Scotland, the ale
oi England, the all drinks of America,
are doing their best to stupefy, inflame,
dement, impoverish, brutalize and slay
the human race. Human power, unless re
enforced from the heavens, can never ex
tirpate the evils I mention.
Much good has been accomplished by
the heroism and fidelity of Christian re
formers, but the fact remains that there
are more splendid men and magnificent
women this moment going over the Niag
ara abysm of inebriety than at any time
since the first' grape was turned into wine
and the first head of rye began to soak in
a brewery. When people touch this sub
ject, they are apt to give statistics as to
bow many millions are in drunkards'
graves or with quick tread marching on
toward them. The land is full of talk of
high tariff and low tariff, but what about
the highest ot all tariffs in this country,
the tariff of $900,000,000 which rum put
upon the United States in 1891, for that is
what it cost us? You do not tremble or
turn pale when I say that. The fact is we
have become hardened by statistics, and
they make little impression. But if some
one could gather into one mighty lake all
the tears that have been wrung out of
orphanage and widowhood, or into one
organ diapason all the groans that have'
been uttered by the suffering victims of
this holocaust, or into one whirlwind all
the sighs of centuries of dissipation, or
from the wicket of one .immense prison
nave iook upon us the glaring eyes ot all
those whom strong drink has endungeoned,
we might perhaps realize the appalling
desolation. But no, no; the sight would
forever blast our vision; the sound would
forever stun our souls. Go on with your
temperance literature; go cn with your
temperance platforms; go on with your
temperance laws. But we are all hop
ing for something from above, and while
the bare arm ot suffering, and the bare
arm of invalidism, and the bare arm of
poverty, and the bare arm of domestio
desolation from which rum hath torn the
sleeve are lifted up in beggary and suppli
cation and despair let the bare arm of God
strike the breweries, and the liquor stores.
and the eorrupt politics, and the license
laws, and the whole inferno ot grogshops
all around the world. Down, thou ac
cursed bottle, from the throne! Into the
dust, thou king of the demijohn I Parched
be thy lips, thou wine cup, with .fires that
shall never be quenched!

Uu ahead! Flj'bt'oa! What I want to
make out today is that our ammunition is
not exhausted; that all w'jich has been
accomplished has been only the skirmish
ing before the great Armageddon; that
Dot more than one of the thousand foun
tains of beauty in tbe King's park bas be
gun to play; that not mora than one brig
ade ot tbe innumerable boats to be mar
shaled by the rider on ihe white borne
has yet taken tbe field; that what God
has done yet bas been with arm folded in
flowing robe, but that the time is coming
when be will rise from his throne, and
throw oft that robe, and come out of tbe
palaces of eternity, and come down the
stairs cf heaven with all conquering step,
and halt in the presence of expectant na
tions, and Cah!zg bis omniscient eyes
across tbe work to be done will put back
the sleeve ot his right arm to the shoulder
and roll it up there and for the world's
final and complete rescue make bare his
arm. Who can doubt the result when,
according to my text, Jehovah does his
best, wben the last reserve force of omnip
otence takes the field, when the last
sword of eternal might leaps from its scab
bard? Do you know what decided the bat
tle of Sedan? The bills a thousand feet
high. Kleven hundred cannon on the hills.
Artillery on the heights ot Givonne and
13 German batteries on tbe heights of La
Moncello. The crown prince of Saxony
watched the scene from the heights of
Mairy. Between a quarter to 6 o'clock in
the morning and 1 o'clock in the after
noon of Sept. 3, 1870, the hills dropped the
shells that shattered the French host in
the valley. The French emperor and- the
86,000 of bis army captured by the hills.
So in this conflict now raging between
holiness and sin "our eyes are unto the
hills." Down here in the valleys of earth
we mast be valiant soldiers of the cross,
but the Commander of our hosts walks the
heights and views the scene far better
than we can in the valleys, and at the
right day and the right hour all heaven
will .open its batteries on our side, and tbe
commander of the hosts of unrighteous
ness, with all his followers, will surren
der, and it will take eternity to fully cele
brate the universal victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ. "Our eyes are unto
the hills." It is so certain to be accom
plished that Isaiah in my text looks down
through the fieldglass of prophecy and
speaks of it as already accomplished, and
I take my stand where the prophet took
his stand and look at it as all done. "Hal
leluiah, 'tis done." See! Those cities
without a tear! Look! Those continents
without a pang! Behold! Those hemis
pheres without a sin I Why, those deserts
Arabian desert, American desert and
Great Sahara desert are all irrigated into
gardens where God walks in the cool of
the day. Tbe atmosphere that encircles
our globe floating not one groan. All the
rivers and lakes and oceans dimpled with
not one falling tear. The climates ot the
earth bave'dropped out of them the rigors
of the cold and the blasts of the heat, and
it is universal spring. Let us change the
old world's name, Let it no -more be
called the earth, as when it was reeking
with everything pestiferous and malevo
lent, scarleted with battlefields and gashed
with graves, but now so changed, so aro
matic with gardens and so resonant with
song and so rubescent with beauty, let us
call it Immanuel'sLand orBeulah or mil
lennial gardens or paradise regained or
heaven I And to God, .the only wise, the
only good, the only great, be glory forever,
Amen.
ARE YOU A SUFFERER
From Rheumatism or Renralgla?
E. P. Taylor and Solomon Davis
Speak to Victims of These Terri
ble Diseases.
E. P. Taver. of East Nassau, New
York, says: "I wish it possible to speak
personally witn every rneumauc vic
tim, fori would tell them of ray terri
ble experience and the relief and cure
1 round in a simple remedy.
"When I first saw in thenewspaders,
Rheumatism can be cured, ' I was
loath to believe it, but when I found
that the statement was made by Dr,
David Kennedy, of Bondout.N. Y., I
Inquired into it, and upon his advice I
began to use Dr. David Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy. My condition at
that time seemed hopeless. I had suf
fered for fifteen years with lnUamatory
rheumattism. My physician said X
would be a cripple for life, but it was
not ordained that way, for l naa not
used Favorite Kemedy long, beiore
was convinced that it was the right
medicine, and In ashort while I was
cured. That was three years ago, aud
I have not felt a trace of the disease
since."
Solomon Davis, of North Kortrlcht.
N. Y., suffered awfully from neuralgia
and loss of sleep, as is frequently tne
case with elderly people; in speaKing
to the writer, he said: "I found that
Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy re
lieved tbe bowels, Improved the ckcu
lation of the blood, and the old pain
left me altogether."
As one of Napoleon physicians re
cently said. "There Is no reason in sui
ferinewith rheumatism or neuralgia.
for Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
will cure them."

An English Luncheon.
On one such occasion I saw a company
of poets, philosophers and fanatics at ta
ble presided over by a young lady, the
daughter of the house. I sat there wiping
my forehead (they do the eating, I the
perspiring) as I saw slices of beef disap
pearing with vegetables, mustard, etc.
The host then asked me what I thought of
the food and the mode of eating. I replied
instinctively, "It is horriblel" This reply
set the gentlemen roaring and my hostess
blushing.
How can a little stomach hold such an
enormous lunch? Even women and chil
dren take large quantities. What vital
ity these people have, to be sure! The
waste of vitality in their climate and
under their conditions of life must be
enormous. It has of course to be replaced,

Pure Water For Cities.
The authorities In this country and on
the continent are everywhere awakening to
a sense of tho necessity of supplying towns
with really good, nonpouuted water. In
ancient days overy family had its own draw
well, and water was supplied by springs.
If one well became polluted, it at all events
did not interfere with the health of the next
door neighbor.
But nowadays we all drink out of the
same can, as it were, and when, as in the
case of the Worthing supply, the water be
comes contaminated the poisoning goes on
wholesale. : Of course each householder can
do a good deal to purify the water served
out to him, bnt it is precious hard lines that
the necessity for doing so should exist
We would lynch a baker who handed
bread in at the kitchen door that was mixed
with arsenic or strychnine. I do not sug
gest hanging the directors of water compa
nies, but they are morally guilty of murder
if their water poisons the lieges. Public
filters should leave nothing to be desired,
and the water therefrom should be con
stantly made tbe subject of bacteriological
examination to prove whether or not filtra
tion is successfully conducted.
Meanwhile the nervous portion of the
public who are householders can go on mak
ing assurance doubly sure by boiling their
water. If laden with carbonate of lime,
the boiling will go far to soften It, and it
will also kill the microbes. The water can
afterward be cooled and filtered. But the
filter itself, remember, needs periodic at
tention. Liverpool Mercury.
Chinese Advance.
Vast and populous as China, is the expe
rience of the present century shows that
she is weak for aggressive purposes. She
has not the bold on territory adjacent to
her borders which she could claim a hun
dred years ago. European nations are
pressing on her, both on the south and on
the north. She has been forced to cede a
portion of her territory to England, and
she has been compelled to avail herself of
the help of Englishmen, both for civil ad
ministration and for military command.
All these things show that an expansion
ot the Chinese race does not necessarily in
volve an extension of. Chinese dominion,
On the contrary, they tend to prove that it
is the order introduced by European admin
istration which leads to the multiplication
ot these industrious people, and there is
therefore at least as much ground for say
ing that, though Borneo, Sumatraand New
Guinea and the great islands of tbe eastern
archipelago may be ultimately peopled by
yellow races, they will be governed by the
white races as for believing that a new
Chinese empire is in process of formation.
A Chinese India may, in other words, be
developed in these great and fertile islands.

American Chrysanthemums.
The foreign horticultural papers speak
with some admiration of the American
chrysanthemums which were shown at the
autumn exhibitions in Great Brltaja. In
the term American, however, they not only
include seedlings raised in this country, but
importations which have reached Europe
by way of America.
One writer, speaking of the competition
between the chrysanthemums raised in
France and those raised in America, states
that the best ot the new introductions
have come from this side ot the Atlantic,
and, with the exception of the new flowers
sent out by M. Ernest Calvat, tbe gen
uine novelties of American growers far
surpass those of all other 1' rench growers

Aa American dealer sold last year
1,000,000 birdskins. All were used for or
namenting woman's attire. Women ought
to cry dowa this vanity that feeds and
pampers tbe destruction of the feathered
tribes. The birds sacrificed are of course
those of richest plumage and of course
also those that will be least easily re
placed. In fact, if this thing continues,
American bird life of tbe gentler order
will pretty soon become extinct. Is not
the warfare tbe American Humane so
ciety has opened upon the birdskin traf
fic wholly justifiable? We think so, Tbe
destruction refer.-ed to contributes not
one whit to human need or human com
fort It adds nothing to the intellectual,
nothing to tbe mental. It is simply wan
tonness practiced at the beck of fashion,
and as silly and meaningless a fashion,
too, as ever wss spawned from the brain
of a man milliner. There are birds ia
plenty that shed their plnmage to supply
the vain demand for flaming headgear.
Why should the fashion lnonarchs be in

Tha Female Ailanttis.
Mr. C. F. Saunders of Philadelphia
justly callB attention to tbe great beauty
of this tree. The male ailantus first
disgusts by its disagreeable odor, and
then tbe flowers fall, leaving nothing
more behind tbem. But the female
flowers bave a rather pleasant fragrance
and are followed by tbe fruit, which
soon takes on a beautiful golden color.
Most will agree with him that there
are few things more beautiful than the
female ailantus with its young fruit
during the months of August and Sep
tember. By the way, the name is ailan
tus and not ailanthns.as frequently writ,

Prince of Wales' Bracelet.
It Is probably not generally known
that the Prince of Wales wears a brace
let on his left wrist. On a recent occa
sion when he appeared in public the
gleam of the golden bangle was noticed
by a very few individuals, and among
those who noticed it there was an inter
change of wondering glances. The wear
ing of the bracelet is not, however, fop
pishness on the part of his royal high
ness, for the bangle has a history. It
belonged originally to Maximilian, the
ill fated emperor of Mexico, and it is a
cherished possession of the prince's.
