For amid these snrf guarded solitudes tncli a tbing did not neein to her to be impos- sible even nt the t ml of tbe nineteenth century. There was an timphrrs about Piper's cay which suggested mys- tery und crime. "No; hardly so bad as that." replied Dr. Trie*, with s laugh, "but I didu't look for couipuny of any sort in the is- land, snd, now that yon have coins across this irrefutable evidence that we may have callers popping in upon in Jin-, ent I y.

Tbe time when umbrellas could he aflorded only by the rich Is still with- in the memory or the tradition of some remote Scotch neighborhood, and a Scotch newspaper, quoted some 50 years ago by Henry Howe, la his "Times of Eminent Mechanic*." re- lates how pride once went before be- wilderment to one of them. When umbrellas first came Into lUalrgrove. It says, they were sport- ed only by the minister and the laird. and were looker) upon by the common rliiss as perfect phenomena. One day IVii'iel M n went to Colonel Mr 1'herson at liliiir House; when about to return, there came on a shower ths Colonel politely offered him the loan of an umbrella, which was po- litely and proudly accepted, and Dan- iel with his hend two or thr<>e Inch- es higher than udiial. marched off.

For some time past Parisians have had orrnslon to complain of defects In the telephone service. Blnme was officially thrown first on the influ- enza, and subsequently on the dis- turbance cauHed by the tunnelling for the Metropolitan, but a third expla- nation Is suggested by the arrest of a gang of men who have been steal- ing telephone wires for months). Their occupation gave them access to sew- ers, and armed with Insulated nip- pers, they helped themselves dally to as much copper wire as thajr could carry away. To produce pure and wholesoms milk tbe first thing to be done Is to procure a good, healthy cow, one that Is right- ly put up for tbe business for which you want her, says B. O. Mitchell la The National Stockman. Witb an un- healthy cow you cannot expect to get a good, wholesome article of milk, butter or cheese, no matter how you, may feed, water or care for the cow. Nor does It matter bow well you may care for tbe milk or treat It you can- not make a pure and wholesome arti- cle of food from an unhealthy cow. Second, to make pure and wholesome milk It is Important to bare pure, un- adulterated food and pure water foi tbe cow, for It Is one of tbe Impossibili- ties to make a pure and wholesome milk out of Impure food and water, a* they do not undergo any manner ef purification after they are taken Into tbe stomach until they ars converted Into milk. As milk Is a secretion and not circulation, consequently the milk In a great measure. If not alto- gether, partakes of the nature ef the food and water. Tb I id Is cleanliness. With a dirty cow and a dirty, badly lighted and 111 ventilated stable you need not expect to get a pure and wbo'esome article of milk. I don't care how well you may feed and water your cow or how good a c-ow you may have It Is au Impossible tlii u? to get a good, healthy life as? gmwth of either aiilmnl or vegetable matter without good light and sun- sbiue and plenty of pure uir to breathe, ml without It you cannot have a good. healthy cow. and you cannot have good, wholesome uillk. Fourth are the aeration nnd cooling of the milk. The aeration of tbe milk oa the farm by a comparatively new ma- chine especially adapted to tbs work Is a new Invention In American dairy- Ing. I wish to say right here that every good. live, wide awake, pro- gressive farmer wuo wishes to keep himself In the front ranks of produc- ing good, wholeseuie mirk will not be without a milk aerator and cooler. I know It Is extremely difficult to con- vince the ordinary dairyman that It Is to his Interest to use an aerator sad cooler without an appeal to direct ez- (M'riiuenL Mllk Is never in so good a condition for treatment as when It la warm and fri-sh from tbe cow. An aerator and cooler applied at this time will remove all animal odors and arrest all germs of fermentation, putrefaction and de- cay. It will leave the milk Inodorous! n1nl agreeable to tbe taste. Milk deal- ers have discovered this, flndiug their customers appreciating tbe change of the flavor and general Improvement la the condition of tbe milk. Milk M treated Is vastly more healthful aud di- gestible by delicate stomachs and by children and will keep ueiirly two days longer ttinn milk not so treated. livery milk dealer knows well the mi-cry of earing for milk that bas uot been properly treated at tbe farm. Thsj careful cheeseuiaker who has studied to produce flue goods tells us over and iiver again that he cannot by any proc- ess of factory manipulation entirely remedy auy defective milk at the fac- tory. All milk dealers know that this must be done at tbe .farm. There are many kinds of milk aerators aud cool- ers manufactured, and they are se cheap they are within the reach of any ordinary dairyman. Milk secreted In the lacteal gland* of the female mammalia more than ny otber secretion Is Influenced by nervous conditions. A mother's bosom will till with milk at tbe thought of her child. The whole character uf milk la oftentimes changed and even poison- ed by Qt of 111 temper and the Infant thrown Into convulsions which In some Instances prove fatal. It Is au exceed- ingly delicate siid changeable fluid, containing as It does all of tbe plastic elements necessary for the construc- tion of tbe various tissues of the body, yet when carelessly tr-ated It Is liable (o undergo certain subtle chemical changes. In consequence of which from being one of tbe most wholesome of foods It becomes deadly poison. When you consider tbe Ignorance and criminal Indifference often practiced In locating buildings so ss to pollute by drainage the water supply. Is It any wouder that cows and tbe milk which they furnish should become media fee a widespread diffusion of diseases? Cl Milk. On* of the St. Louis milk dealers re- cently stated In an Interview, says) Hoard's Dairyman, that what wersj wanted to Insure clean, healthy milk were "clean cow stalls, pure feed for tbe cattle snd scrupulously clean milk- Inn utensils." Simple enough. Isn't Itt Yet. simple as It Is. every milk dealer, every creamery and cheese factory, r- ery buyer of butter and cheese knows that It Is condition very hard to se- cure. If every producer of milk would comply wltb this simple condition, there would be scarcely any poor milk, butter or cheese. The mischief wit* all three of these products starts, tas nine cases out of ten. with the ranee. Indifference or carelessi the man who handle* the cows.

Through ths miataks of Its friends religion has been chiefly associated with sickbeds aad graveyards The whole subject to many people is od- reus with chlorine and carbolic acid. There are people who cannot pro- neunce the word religion without hearing In it the clipping chisel of the tombstone cutter. It Is high time that this thing were changed and that religion instead of being repre- sented as a hearse to carry out the dead sheuld be represented as a chariot in which the living ars to triumph. Kehg-ion. se far from subtracting from ons's vitality, is a glorious ad- dition. It is sanitlve. curative, hy- gienic. It Is good for the eyes, good (r the ears, good for the spleen, food fer the digestion, good for the nervos, good for the L_iuscles. When avid, in another part of the Psalms prays that religion may be dominant. he does not spoaJt of it as a mild sickness) er an emaciation or an at- tack ef moral and spiritual cramp. He speaks of it as "the saving health of all nations," whils God in the text promises longevity to the pious, say- Ing, "With long life will I satisfy him " The fact Is that men and women die two soon. It la Inuh tune that religion joined the huud of medical ocience in attempting to improve hu- man longevity. Adam h\ed 930 years. Methuselah lived 909 years. As late in the history of the world as Vespasian there were at one time la his empire 45 people 1.'13 years 14. 80 far down as the sixteenth century Peter /art an died at l.-Ti years of age. 'I do not say that re- ligion v. ill ever take the race back to antediluvian longevity, but I do ay that the length of human life will be greatly improved It is snid in Isuiah Ixr. 2O. "The child shall die a hundred years old." Now, if. according to Scripture, the child is to be a hundred years old, may not the men and womon reach to :'() and 400 and ftOO? The fact ts that we are mere dwarfs and skel- etons. compared with some of the generations that are to come. Take the African race. They have been under bondage for centuries. Give them a chance and they develop TeiMsalnt 1'Uuverture. And if the white race shall be brought out from under the serfdom of sin what shall be tho body? What shall be the eul? Keligion has only just touch- ed our world. Civs it full power for a few centuries, and who can tell what will be the strength of man and the beauty of woman and the longevity of all? Hy design Is to show that practi- cal religion is the friend of longe- vity; I prove It, lirst. from the fact that It maken the care of our health a positive Christian duty. Whether we shall keep early or late hours, whether we shall take food digesti- ble or indigestible, whether there shall be thorough or incomplete tlcution. ars questions *ejrj on en r<v ferret! to the realm of WblinsicaJUty, but the Christian man lifts this whole problem of health in' " ' omit- able and the divine. He has given me this body, and he h&s called it the temple of tin- Holy tiliost. and to deface Its altars or suar its walls or crumble .\s pillarx Is a God defying sacrilege." He sees Cod's culigraphy in itn- ni en I and pin "Uod lias given me a wi>n<:. for noble purpos Tri. m says to hn> "If I hurt my n.-rx.s. if I hurt my bruin. If I hurt any of my pi faculties, I insult i.i'd and call for dire retribution." Why did God tell tho 1/evites not to offer lo him In sacrifice animals impel feel and dis- eased? He meant to tell us in all ths ages that we are to orVr t. our very best physical condition, and a man who through in cr il.tr or glut- tonoiui eating ruins his health, is nol offering to God such a sacrifice. Why did I'aul write for his cloak at Troas? Why should such a great man as Paul be anxious about a thing so insignificant as an over- coat? It was because he know that with pneumonia and rheumatism he would nut be worth half as much to God and tho church as with respira- tion easy and foot free. An intelligent Christian man would consider it an absurdity to Vneel down at night and pray and ask God' protection while at the same time he kept the windows of his bed- room tlKhl shut against fresh air. Hs would just as soon think of go- ing to the top of his house and leu|>- tng of? and then praying to God to keep him from gelt mg hurt. Just as long aa you refer tins whole subject of physical health t the reaJm of whiuiHiculity. or to the pastry cook. or to the butcher, or to the buker or to the apothecary, er to the clo- thier you are not acting- like a Chris- tian. Take care of all your physical forces nervous, muscular, bone, brain, cellular tissue for all you snust be brought te judgment. What right has any man or woman te deface the temple ef the Holy Ghost? What Is ths ear? Why, It Is the whispering gallery ef the hu- man soul. What is the eye? It Is the observatory God constructed. Its telescope sweeping the heavens. So wonderful are these bodies that God names his own attributes after dif- ferent parts of them. His omnis- cience It Is God's eye. His omni- presenceIt Is God's ear. His omni- potenceIt la God's ana. The up- holstery of tho midnight heavens it ! is the work of God's ringers. His life giving power it is Ihe breath f tbe Almighty. His dominion "the government shall be upon his shoulder." A body so divinely hon- ored and so divinely constructed -let us be careful not to abuse {t. When It become* a Christian duty to take care of our health, is not the whole tendency toward longevity? If I toss my watch about recklessly and drop it on the pavement and wind it up any time of day or night I hap- pen to think of it and eften let it run down while you axe careful with your watch and never abuse It and wind it up just at the same hour every night and put it in a place where It will not suffer from the vio- lent changes of atmosphere, which watch will last the longer? Com- mon sense answers. Now, the hu- man body Is God s watch. You see the hands of the watch. You see tbe face of the watch, but the beating of the heart is the ticking of the watch. Oh, be careful and do not let It run down! Again. I remark that practical re- ligion Is a friend of longevity in the fact that It ia a protest against dis- sipations which m ure and destroy the health. Had men and women live a very short life. Their sins kill them. I know hundred of good old men, but I do not know half a dozen bad old men Why? They do not got old. Lord Dyron died at Mi.s*oli>ne.hi at 'M years of age. him- self of bis own M:ize>ppi\. his un- bridled passions the horse that dash- ed with him Into the desert. Edgar A. Poe died at Baltimore at 38 years of age. The black raven that aligh- ted on the bust above his chamber door was delirium tremens. Only this and nothing more. There are aged people who would have been uuuU ii years ago but for the deleiiacs und the equipoise ol re- ligion. \ ou have no mure uuiurul resistance than hundreds of jj- who lie In tae cemeteries to-day, slum by their own vues. Thu dociors made their case as kind and pleasant as they could, and u was called con- gestion uf Ihe ln'.iin or something else, but the snakes and the blue Hies that seenn-d to crawl over Ilia pillows in the si^-nt of the delirious palient showed what was the Dial- ler with hiui. \ o'i, tbs aged Chris- tian man, walked along by that un- happy one unlii >ou came lo the golden pillar of tbe Christian life. You went, to the right; he went to the left. This Is all the diib-renoe between jou. Ob. if this religion is a protest against all form of dis- si|vation, then It is an illustrious fneud of longevity. "With lon< UIc will I satisfy him." Again, religion is a friend of lon- gevity tn the fact that it takes the worry out of temporalities. It Is not work that kills men. it is worry. When a man becomes a genuine Chris- tian, he makes over to God not only his affections, but his family, his bu- siness, his reputation, bis body, his mind, his soul everything. Indus- trious he will be, but never worry- ing, because God Is managing his af- fairs. How can he worry about business when In answer to his j-ruy- ers God tells him when to huv and when to soil, and if he g:iin that is best and if he lose that IB ! Suppose you had a supernatural neighbor who ram> > in and said. 'Sir. I vvunt you tn cull on me in every I aui your : i fall back on J: : can foresee a panic ten years; I hold the controlling stock in .'0 of the best monetary IPS! i! ut ions of this country; wherever ;mi are in trouble call on me and I will heip you. you con have my nv-r you can have my influence, hen- is iny hand in pledge of it." How- much would you worry about business? Why. you would say. "I'll do the bent I can, and then I'll depend on my friend's generosity for the rest." Now, more than that is promised to every Ctiristian business man. God says to him; "I own New York .n-.l London and St. Petersburg and 1 'ek- ing and Australia and California are mine; I can foresee a panic a thous- and years; I have till the resources of the universe; and I am your best friend; when you get In business trouble or any other trouble, call on me and I will help: here is my hand in pledge of omnipotent deliver- ance." How much should that man worry? Not much. What lion will dare to put his paw on that Daniel? Is there not rest in this? Is there not an le nal vacation In this? "Oh," you say, 'here Is a man who asked Cod for a blessing in a certain enterprise, and he lost J&.OOO in it. Explain that." I will. Yonder is a factory, and one wheel Is gong north, and ths other wheel is going south, and ons wheel plays laterally, and the other playn vertically. I go to the manufacturer, and I say: "O manufacturer, your machinery Is a contradiction. Why do you not make all ths wheels go one way?" "Well," he says, "I made them to go In op- posite directions on purpose, and they produce the right result. You go downstairs and examine the carpets we are turning out in this establish- ment, and you will sea." I go down on the other floor, and I see the car- pets, and I am obliged to confess that. though the wheels tn that fac- tory go In opposite directions, they turn out a beautiful result, and while I am standing there looking at the exquisite fabric an old Scripture passage comes Into my mind. "All things work together for good to them who love God." Is there not rrat In that? Is there not tonic In that? Is there not longevity in that? Suppose a man Is all Ihe time wor- ried about his reputation? One man says he lies, another says he is stup- id, another says he Is dishonest, and half a dozen printing establishments attack him. and he is in a great state of excitement and worry and fume and cannot sleep. Hut. religion comes to him and says: "Man, God is on your side. He will take rare of your ! reputation. If Cod be for you. who can tie against you?" How much i should that man worry about his j reputation? Not much. If that brok- i er who some years ago In Wall street. after he had lost money sat down ana wrote a farewell letter tn nls wife before he blew out his brains if, Instead of taking out of his pock- et a pistol, he hud taken out a well d New Testament, there would have been one less suirnle.

Just a woman's story. Not strange because it happens every day; not romantin or thrilling, bnl just a story of misery and suffering such as. unfortunately, too many ws>- men endure in silence. For several yews Mrs. Thomas Sears, of St. Catharines, felt her ill- ness gradually bnt surely gaming a tinner bold upon her system, and ultimately she almost dinpaired of reeoverr. To a repurfer who called upon her, Mrs. Sears said : ' ' What I have suffered ia almost be- yond description. My illness bas IM-PU gradually growing upon me, and eighteen months ago I found my- self almost helpless. Mv nerves were 'red. my heart weak ami mv en- tire svMcm seemingly broken down. I had no rest night or dav ; the little sleep I did get did not refresh m>. 1 was in constant agouy, and only a wo- man can understand what I endured as I tried to do my household work. Any sudden noise would frighten me and Icav* rue in a condition bordering on collapse. At times I experienced t tacks of vertigo, and these seemed for a time to affect my memory. The least exertion would leave me al- most breathless, aud my heart would palpitate violently. I had no deire for food of auy kind, aud yet I had to force myself to eat to maintain life. I treated with three different doctors and spent much money in this way, but without avail, and I w ns in a condition bordering on ds- spair. I was nrgixl to try Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, and in Dex-euiber, 1 1898, I consented to do as. I first got four boxes and noticed a change for j ths better after I bad finished tae second box. When the four boxes were finished there was a great change for tbe better, and I then procured another half dozen boxes. Before there were all used I was again en- joying the blessing of good health. There can be no doubt of my cure be- cause months have pascal since I dis- vcontinned taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and during (lint time I have never felt the slightest symptom of . tbe trouble, ami I cheerfully and strongly urge other women who ars \ suffering to u-e tins wonderful mexli- insr sure that it will cure them, at; it dii Dr. Williams' I'ink Pill", ars a sp- r-itic for all forms of weakness.
