Ncwspap- rn in Paris.
New York is pretty well supplied
with newspapers. I doubt if capitalists
could he persuaded that additional ones
would he good investments. But so far
as mere numbers arc concerned, our pa?
pers are only a tithe of what we find in
Paris. 'J'here arc about 2,600 organs of
the press in the French capital, 163 of
which are political journals. In this
rountry nothing is a newspaper unless it
issues daily. Of political dailies in Paris
there are 7Q. of tri-weeklies I, of week?
lies 73. of bi-monthlies 6, of monthlies 2
and of annuals 1. Of the whole number
122 arc Republican, 31 are Conservative
and io cannot be classified. The reviews
number 10 weekly, 60 monthly, 31 bi?
monthly, 26 quarterly, 28 are issued
six times a year and 11 appear
at irregular intervals. Napoleon sup?
pressed several hundred newspapers,
leaving only thirteen in existence during
his reign. There arc 500 papers in Lon?
don.
.enator Tettus' Library.
Senator Pettus was quoting Scripture
to some of his colleagues in the cloak?
room thc other day. ''How in the world
do you liL.ipen to be so familiar with thc
Bible?" asked one of the audience. "I
went to California in 1849,'' replied the
Senator, smiling, "and I took a complete
library in my kit. lt comprised the
Bible, Shakespeare and Bobbie Burns.
You'll find I am pretty familiar with all
three."
A little change in the pocket is better
than a decided change in the weather.

Nurses' Experience.
Medical men say that a good nurse
in a difficult case is better than med?
icine, but when we can get a good
nurse and good medicine, the patient
stands a much better chance of re?
covery. The few words of advice
given below by nurse Eliza King, are
well worthy the attention of all
readers:
" I have constantly used St. Jacobs Oil in
the various situations I have occupied as
nurse, and have invariably found it excellent
in all cases requiring outward application,
such as sprains, bruises, rheumatic affections,
neuralgia, etc. In- cases of pleurisy it is an
excellent remedy?well rubbed in. I ran
strongly recommend it after several years'
use and experience. It should be in every
household."
Sister Carolina, St. Andrew's Hospital,
writes: ** I have found St. Jacobs Oil a most
efficacious remedy io gout; also in sprains and
bruises. Indeed, we cannot say Loo much
in its praise, and our doctor is ordering it
constantly-."

THE GOOD RELIGION DOES.
Or Talmage Preaches on (he Influence
of the Gospel in Business.
Christianity and the Intellect-Can You Get
Along Without lt.
Washington, D. C.-In this discourse
Ut. lalmage advocates the idea that the
Christian religion is as good for this world
as the next, and will help us to do any?
thing that ought to be done at all; I Tim?
othy iv, 8, "Godliness is profitable unto
all things, having promise of the life that
now is and of that which is to come."
There is a gloomy and passive way of
waiting for events to come upon us, and
there is a heroic way of geing out to meet
them, strong in God and fearing nothing.
When the body of Catiline was found on
the battlefield, it was found far in advance
of all _iis troops and among the enemy, and
the best way is not for us to lie down and
let the events of life trample over us, but
to go forth in a Christian spirit deter?
mined to conquer. You are expecting pros?
perity, and I am determined, so far as I
have anything to do with it, that you shall
not be disappointed, and, therefore, I pro?
pose, as God may help me, to project upon
vour attention a new element of success.
You have in the business firm frugality,
patience, industry, perseverance, economy
?a very strong business firm?but there
needs to be one member added, mightier
than them all, and not a silent partner
either, the one introduced by my text,
"Godliness, which is profitable unto all
things, having the promise of the life that
now is as well as of that which i3 to come."
I suppose you are all willing to admit
that godliness is important in its eternal
relations, but perhaps some of you say,
"AH I want is an opportunity to 6ny a
, prayer before I die, and all will be well."
There are a great many people who sup?
pose that if they can finally get safely out
of this world into a better world they will
have exhausted the entire ad%'antage of
our holy religion. They talk as though re?
ligion were a mere nod of recognition
which wc arc to give to the Lord Jesus on
cur way to a heavenly mansion; as though
it were an admission ticket, of no use ex?
cept to give in at the door of heaven. And
there are thousands of people who have
great admiration for a religion of the
shroud and a religion of the coffin and a
religion of the cemetery who have no ap?
preciation of a religion for the bank, for
the farm, for the factory, for the ware?
house, for the jeweler's shop, for the office.
Now, while I would not throw any slur on
a post-mortem religion, I want to-day to
eulogize an ante-mortem religion. A relig?
ion that is of no use to you while you live
will be of no use to you when you die.
"Godliness is profitable unto all things,
having promise of the life that now is as
well as of that which is to come." And I
have always noticed that when grace is
very low in a man's heart he talks a great
deal in prayer meetings about deaths and
about coffins and about graves and about
churchyards. I have noticed that the
healthy Christian, the man who is living
near to God and is on the straight road to
heaven, is full of jubilant satisfaction and
talks about the duties of this life, under?
standing well that if God helps him to live
right He will help him to die right.
Now, in the first place, I remark that
godliness is good for a man's physical
health. I do not mean to say that it will
restore a broken down constitution or
drive rheumatism from the limbs or neural?
gia from the temples or pleurisy from the
side, but I do mean to say that it gives
one such habits and puts one in such con?
dition as are most favorable for physical
health. That 1 believe, and that I avow.
Everybody knows that buoyancy of
spirit is good physical advantage. Gloom,
unrest, dejection, are at war with every
pulsation of the heart and with every res?
piration of the lungs. They lower the vi?
tality and slacken the circulation, while
exhilaration of spirit pours the very balm
of heaven through all the currents of life.
The sense of insecurity which sometimes
hovers over an unregenerate man or
pounces upon him with the blast of ten
thousand trumpets of terror is most deplet?
ing and most exhausting, while the feeling
that all things are working together for
our good now and for our everlasting wel?
fare is conducive to physical health.
You will observe that godliness induces
industry, which is the foundation of good
health. There is no law of hygiene that
?will keep a lazy man well. Pleurisy will
stab him, erysipelas will burn him, jaun?
dice will discolor him, gout will cripp.'e
him, and the intelligent physician will
not prescribe antiseptic or febrifuge
or anodyne, but saws and hammers
and yardsticks and crowbars and pick?
axes. There is no such thing as good
physical condition without positive work
of 6ome kind, although you should sleep
on down of swan or ride in carriage of
softest upholstery or have on your table
all the luxuries that were poured from the
wino vats of Ispahan and Shiraz. Our re?
ligion says: "Away to the bank, away to
the field, away to the shop, away to the
factory! Do something that wil enlist all
the energies of your body, mind and soul!"
"Diligent in business, fervent in spirit,
serving the Lord," while upon the bare
back of the idler and the drone comes
down the sharp lash of the apostle as he
cays, "If any man will not work, neither
shell he eat."
Oh, how important is this day, when so
much is said about anatomy and physio?
logy and therapeutics and some new style
of medicine is ever and anon springing
upon the world, that you should under?
stand that the highest school of medicine
is the school of Christ, which declares that
"godliness is profitable unto all things,
having the promise of the life that now is
as well as of that which is to come." .0
if you start out two men in the world with
equal physical health, and then one of
them ?4iall get the religion of Christ in his
heart and the other shall not get. it, the
one who becomes a son of the Lord Al?
mighty will live the longer. "With long
life .viii I satisfy him and show him My
salvation."
Again I remark that godliness ia good
for the intellect. I know some have sup?
posed thot just as soon as a man enters
into the Christian life his intellect goes
into a bedwarfing process. So far from
that, religion will give new brilliancy to
the intellect, new strength to the imagina?
tion, new force to the will and wider
switi? to all the intellectual faculties.
Christianity is the great central fire at
which philosophy has lighted its brightest
torch.
The religion of Christ is the fountain
out of which learning has dipped its clear?
cut draft. The Helicon poured forth no
such inspiring waters as those which flow
from under the throne of God clear as
crystal.
Religion has given new energy to poesy,
weening in Dr. Young's "Night Thoughts,"
teaching in Cowper's "Task," flaming in
Charles Wesley's hymns and rushing with
archangelic splendor through Milton's
"Paradise Lost." The religion of Christ
has hung in studio and in gallery of art and
in Vatican the best pictures?Titian's "As?
sumption," Raphael's "Transfiguration,''
Rubens's "Descent From the Cross,'"'
Claude's "Burning Rush" and Angelo's
"Last Judgment." Religion has made thc
best music of the world?Haydn's "Crea?
tion," Handel's "'Messiah," Mozart's "Re?
quiem." Is it possible that a religion
which builds such indestructible monu?
ments, and which lifts its ensign on the
highest proniontoreis of worldly power
can have any effect upon a man's intellect
but elevation?
Now T commend f.odline.s3 as thc best
mental discipline, better than belles lettre..
to purify the taste, better than mathemat?
ics to harness the mind to all intricacy and
elaboration, better than logic to marshal
the intellectual forces for onset and vic?
tory.
Again I remark that godliness is profit?
able for one's disposition. Lord Ashley,
before he went into a great battle, was
heard to offer this prayer: "O Lord, i shall
be very busy to-day! ff I forget Thee, for?
get me not." Willi such a Christian diopo
sition as that a man is independent of ai)
circumstances.
Our piety will have a tinge of our natara]
temperament. If a man be cro.s and sour
and fretful naturally, after he becomes a
Christian he will always have to be armed
against the rebellion of those evil inclina?
tions. ._ _.
But religion has turned thc wildest na?
tures. It lias turned fretfulness into grat?
itude, despondency into good cheer, and
those who were hard and ungovernable
and uncompromising have been made pli?
able and conciliatory.
Good resolution, reformatory effort, will
not effect the change, lt takes a mightier
arm and a mightier hand to bend evil hab?
its than the hand that bent the bow of
Ulysses, and it takes a stronger lasso than
ever held the buffalo on the prairie.
A manufacturer cares but very little for
a stream that slowly runs through the
meadow; but values a torrent that leaps
from rock to rock and rushes with mad
energy through the valley and out toward
the sea. Along that river you will find
fluttering shuttles and grinding mill and
flashing water wheel. And a nature the
6wiftc3t, the most rugged and the most
tremondous?that is the nature that God
turns into greatest usefulness.
Religion will give an equipoise of spirit.
It will keep vou from ebullitions of tem?
per, and you know a great many fine busi?
nesses have been blown to atoms by bad
temper. It will keep you from worriment
about frequent loss; it will keep you back
from squandering and from dissipation;
it will give you a kindness of spirit which
will be easily distinguished from that mere
store courtesy which shakes hands violent?
ly with you, asking about thc health of
your family, when there is no anxiety to
know whether your child is well or sick,
but the anxiety is to know how many
dozen cambric pocket handkerchiefs you
will take and pay cash down. It will pre?
pare you for the practical duties of every?
day life.
In New York City there was a merchant,
hard in his dealings with his fellows, who
had written over his banking house or his
counting house room, "No compromise."
Then when some merchant got in a crisis
and went down?no fault of his, but a con?
junction of evil circumstances?and all the
other merchants were willing to compro?
mise?they would take seventy-five cents
on the dollar or fifty cents or twenty cent*
?coming to this man last of all, he said:
"No compromise. I'll take 100 cents on the
dolhr, and I can afford to Avait." Well,
thc wheel turned, and after awhile that
man was in a crisis of business, and he sent
out his agent to compromise, and the agent
said to the merchants, "Will you take
fifty cents on the dollar?" "No." "Will
you take anything?" "We'll take lOOccnls
on the dollar. No compromise." And the
man who wrote that inscription over his
counting house door died in destitution.
Oh, we want more of the kindness of the
gospel nnd the spirit of love in our business
enterprises!
How many young men have found in the
religion of Jesus Christ a practical help?
How many there are to day who could tes?
tify out of their own experience that god?
liness is profitable for the life that now ia!
There were times in their business career
when they went here for help and there
for help and yonder for help and got no
help until they knelt before the Lord cry?
ing for His deliverance, and the Lord res?
cued them.
In a bank not far from New Yoric?a
village bank?an officer could not balance
his accounts. He had worked at them day
after day, night after night, and he was
sick nigh unto death as a result. He knew
that he had not taken one farthing from
that bank, but somehow, for some reason,
inscrutable then, the accounts would not
balance. The time rolled on and the morn?
ing of the day when the books should pas.
under the inspection of the other officers
arrived, and he felt himself in awful peril,
conscious of his own integrity, but unable j
to prove that integrity. That morning he |
went to the bank early, and he knelt down
before God and told the whole story of
mental anguish, and he said: "0 Lord, I
have done right, I have preserved my in?
tegrity, but* here I am about lo bc over?
thrown unless Thou shouldst come to my
rescue. Lord, deliver mc." And for one
hour he continued the prayer before God,
and then be arose and went to an old blot?
ter that he had forgotten all about. He
opened it, and there lay a sheet of figures
which he only needed to add to another
line of figures?some line of figures he had
forgotten and knew not where he had laid
them?and the accounts were balanced, and
the Lord delivered him. You are an infi?
del if you do not believe it. The Lord de?
livered him. God answered his prayer, as
He will answer your prayer, oh, man of
business, in every crisis when you come to
Him.
Now, if this be so, then I am persuaded,
as you are, of the fact that the vast major?
ity of Christians do not fully test the value
of their religion. They are like a farmer
in California with 15,000 acres of good
Avheat land and culturing only a quarter of
an acre.
Why do you not go forth and make the
religion of Jesus Christ a practical affair
every day of your business life and all this
year, beginning now, and to-morrow morn?
ing putting into practical effect this holy
religion and demonstrating that godliness
is profitable here as well as hereafter?
How can you get along without this re?
ligion? Is your physical health so good you
do not want this divine tonic? Is your
mind so clear, so vast, so comprehensive,
that you do not want this divine inspira?
tion? Is your worldly business so thor?
oughly established that you have no use
for that religion which has been the help
and deliverance of tens of thousands of
men in crises of worldly trouble? And ii
what I have said is true then you see what
a fatal blunder it is when a man adjourn*
to life's expiration the uses of religion. A
man who postpones religion to sixty year.,
of age gets religion fifty years too late, ile
may get into the kingdom of God by final
repentance, but what cnn compensate him
for a whole lifetime unalleviated and un?
comforted? You want religion to-day in
the training of that child. You will want
religion to-morrow in dealing with that
customer. You wanted religion yesterday
to curb your temper. Is your arm etroi.;;
enough to beat your way through thc
floods? Can you, without being incased in
the mail of God's eternal help, go forth
amid thc assault of all hell's sharpshoot?
ers? Can you walk alone across these
crumbling graves and amid these gaping
earthquakes? Can you. waterlogged and
mast shivered, outlive the gale? Oh, hotl
many there have heen who, postponing thc
religion of Jesus Christ, have plunged intc
mistakes they could never correct, although
they lived sixty years after, and like ncr
pents crushed under cart wheeis draggin.
their mauled bodies under the rocks to die
So these men have fallen under the whee!
of awful calamity, while a vast multitude
of others have taken the religion of Jesin
Christ into everyday life, and, first, in
practical business affairs, and, second, or
the throne of heavenly triumph, have illus
trated while angels iooked on and a uni?
verse approved, the glorious truth thal
"godliness is profitable unto all things.
having the promise of the life which now i?
as well as of that which is to come."

Newest Fushioiuiblo Folly.
Leaders of the fashionable set. at
Monte Carlo have r.dopted the fad cf
wearing live monkeys as boas. When
you get your monkey ask for the
"ouistiti." This is black and white,
with a tail twice as big as its body.
The tall is beautiful and is wound
around the neck to meet the body
part, which sits propped np on the left
shoulder. Ladles train their monkey .
to remain on their shoulders until in
loors, when at a word they spring lo
he floor, unwrapping their fails as
..hey fall. Each monkey naturally
looks after its one tail, so one doesn't
have to be bothered by looking after
one's boa. Some ladies have silver
collars, with their names- on, wound
round the monkey'., neck.
Fun for Schoolboys.
The German Navy League has ar?
ranged for several thousand school?
boys to 3pend two days with the fleet
under ?xpert guidance. They will be
instructed in the workings of war?
ships. They will come in relays,
beginning each September, when near?
ly the whole German fleet will be at
Kiel. The object of the plan is to
make patriots of the lads.
COMMERCIAL REVlfeW.
General Trade Conditions.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade says: Unsettled weather was the
most unsatisfactory feature of the busi?
ness situation. Preparations for an enor?
mous spring trade continue undimin?
ished. Not only is there no improvement
to be recorded in thc iron and steel out?
look, but floods in the Pittsburg region
added to the pressure by completely clos?
ing many plants and damaging much
costly machinery. Supplies of coke failed
to increase because the railways were
badly disorganized, and the net result
was a week of light output when re?
quirements were notably heavy. Leather
is weaker and hides declined another
fraction. Cotton goods are well sus?
tained. Less activity is reported in tho
market for woolens, buyers having ap?
parently their first round of orders.
All staples steadied and some rose
sharply. It was natural for grain to hold
firm when wheat receipts at the West
were 2,899,344 bushels, compared with
3,747,952 last year, while arrivals of corn
were but 2,001,914 bushels, against 5,020,
438 a year ago. Exports of wheat, flour
included, were 4,174^,894 bushels, against
3,185,032 in the previous week, and 3>7I5.
930 a year ago.
Failures for thc week numbered 176
ii} thc United States, against 208 last
yes.r, and 17 in Canada, against 26 last
year.

Ona may sail the seas nnd visit every land and everywhere will find,
that men of affairs, who are well informed, have neither the time
nor the inclination, whether on pleasure lieut or business, to use those
medicines which cause excessive purgation ;ind then leuve the internal
organs in a constipated condition. Syrup of Figs is not built on thoso
lines. It acts naturally, acts effectively, cleanses, sweetens and strengthens
the internal organs and leaves them in a healthy condition.
]f in need of a laxative remedy the most excellent i3 Syrup of Figs, but
when anything more than a laxative is required the safe and scientific plan
is to consult a competent physician and not to resort to those medicines
which claim to cure all manner of diseases.
The California Fig Syrup Co. wns the first to manufacture a laxative remedy
which would give satisfaction to all; a laxative which physicians could
sanction and ono friend recommend to another: so that today its sales probably
exceed all other laxatives combined. In some places considerable quantities of
old-time cathartics and modern imitationi are still sold, but with the general
diffusion of knowledge, as to the best medicinal agents, Syrup of Figs has come
into general U3c with the well-informed, because it is a remedy of known value
and ever beneficial action.
Tho quality of Syrup of Figs is duo not only to the excellent combination of
the laxative and carminative principles of plants, known to act most beneficially
on thc system, with agreeable and refre.hing aromatic liquids, but also to the
orginal method of manufacture. In order to get the genuine and its beneficial
effects one should always note the full name of the Company - California Fig
Syrup Co. printed on tho front o'every package
