The Wonders of His Character -The Opposites and Soeming Antagonism of HIs and Ills Vlotories. Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, in the following sermon, holds up Christ to view from an unusual standpoint. The text is: His name shall be called The prophet lived in a dark time.

some 3,000 years the world has been getting worse. Kingdoms had arisen and perished. As the captain of vessel in distress sces relief coming across the water, prophet, amid the storiny time in which he lived, put the telescope of prophecy to his eye and saw, 750 years ahead, one Jesus advancing to the rescue. I want to show that when Isaiah called Christ the Wonderful he spoke wisely. most houses there is a picturo of Christ.

Sometimes it represents Him with face effeminate; sometimes with a face despotic. I have seen West's grand sketch of the rejection of Christ; I have seen the face of Christ as cut ou an emerald, said to be by the command of Tiberius Caesar; aud yet I am convinced that I shall never know how Jesus looked until, on that sweet Sabbath morning, I shall wash the last sleep from my eyes in the cool river of Heaven. I take up this book of Divine photographs and I look at Luke's sketch, at Mark's sketch, at John's sketch and at Paul's sketch, and I say, with Isaiah: "Wonderful!" I think that you are all interested in the story of Christ. You feel that He is the only one who can help you. You have unbounded admiration for the commander who helped his passengers ashore while he himself peri bed, but have you no admiration for Him who rescued our souls, Himself fulling back into the waters from which lie had saved us? Christ was wonderful in the magnettam of Ilis person.

After the battle of Antietam, when 8 general rode along the lines, although the soldiers were lying down exhausted, they rose with great enthusiasm and huzzaed. As Napoleon returned from his captivity his first step on the wharf shook all the kingdoms, and 250,000 men joined his standard. It took 3,000 troops to watch him in his exile. So there have been men wonderful magnetism of person. "But hear me while I tell you of a poor young man who came up from Nazareth to produce a thrill such as has never been excited by any other.

Nopoleon had around him the memories of Austerlitz and Jenn and Badajos; but here was a man who had fought no battles; who wore no epaulettes; who brandished no sword." lIe is no titled man of the schools, for He never went to school. He had probably never seen 8 prince, or shaken hands with a nobleman. The only extraordinary person we know of as being in and His company was His own mother, she was 80 poor that the most delicate and solemn hour that ever comes to a woman's soul she was obliged to lie down amid camel drivers grooming the beasts of burden. I imagine Christ one day standing in the streets of Jerusalem. A man descended from high lineage is standing beside him, and says: "My father was merchant prince; ho had castle on the beach at Galilee.

Who was your father?" Christ answered, "Joseph, carpenter." A man from Athens is standing there unrolling his parchment of graduation, and says to Christ, did you go to school?" Christ answers, "I never graduated." Ahal the idea of such an unheralded young man attempting to commuud the attention of the world! As well some little Ashing village on Long Island shore attempt to arraign New York. Yet no sooner does he set foot in the towns or cities of Judon than everything is in commotion. The poople go out on a picuie, tuking only food enough for the day, yet are so fascinated with Christ that, at the risk of starving, they follow Ilim out into the wilderness. A nobleman falls down flat before Him, and suys; "My daughter is dead." A beggar tries to rub the dimness from his says: "Lord, that my eyes muy be opened." A poor, sick, panting woman pressing through the crowd, says, "I must touch the hem of His garment." Childreu, who love their mother better than any one else, struggle to gut into Ills arms, and kiss His check, and to their fingers through His hair, and for all tiwe putting Jesus so in love with the little ones that thore is hardly a nursery Christendom from which He does not take one, saying: "I must have them; I will All Heaven with these; for every cedar. that 1 in Henven I will have 50 white lilies.

In the hour when I was a poor man in Judes they were not ashamed of Me, and now that have come to a throne I do not despise them. Hold it not backs, oh weeping mother; lay it on My warm heart. such is the kingdom of Heaven." What is this coming down the road? A triumphal procession, He is seated, not in a chariot, but on an ass; and the people take of their coats and throw them in the way. Oh, what time Jesus made among the children, among the beggars, among the fisheramong the philosophers! may boust of self-control, but it had seen; Him you would have put your arms around His neck and said: "Thou art altogether lovely." Jesus was wonderful in the opposites and seeming antagonism of His nature. Yes want things logical and consistent, and you say: "How could Christ be God and man nut the time?" John says Ohrist was the Orestor: "All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made." Matthew says that He omnipresent: "Where two or three are met together in My name, there am I in the inidst of then." Christ clares His own eternity: "I am Alpha and Omega." How can He be a lion, under His foot crushing kingdoms, and yet a lamb licking the hand slays what point.

BETTER TIMES AT HAND Failures In July Were Smallest '92-Big Crop of Wheat and Prevailing High Prices Stimulate Business and Indicate a Season of Prosperity -Bank Clearings.

Now York, Aug. G. Dun weekly trade report says that four years ago, in August, 1893, Dun's Review showed failures amounting to over $60,000,000, while in the month just closed the faliures were only 118,000, the smallest in any month since '92. A statement of the failures by classes of business for July and for 40. months preceding shows that in manufacturing the failures have been smaller than in any other month of the entire period, in trading, smaller than in any other month except.

one, and in many branches smaller than in most months of which records exist The dawn of better days is at hand Last month was the first for 4 years of which the volume business reported by clearing houses was larger then 111 the same month of '92. and aphic dispatches this week from all parts of the country show a gratifying improvement. This is partly due to the large yield of wheat and the good prices, though the crop is probably not as large nor are the prices thes far as high a8 in '92. In cotton, however, the price is higher and the yield will probably be larger than in '92. Other farm products are realizing god prices and 1 possible decrease in the yield of corn may help to market the surplus brought over from last.

year. The liquidation of a powerful combination in wheat brought a reaction of 3 cents Thursday, but a gain of 00- cured the day following. This is the wrong season to expect much from industries. The demand for most finished products is steadily increasing, the feature of this week being the large pipe contracts for the Russian oil fields, Summatra and Germany. Consumption does not yet equal the capacity of the works in operation, and prices of iron and steel products average slightly lower.

The situation, however, is altogether more hopeful. metals the consumption of tin equals the receipts, so that prices do not change, and the visible supply is practically the same as a month ago, while exports of copper have been heavy and prevent a decline of the lake product below 11 Realizing in lead has caused only a slight decline to 3.8 cents. Sales of wool, as comparative returns by months show, bear little relation to the actual sumption in manufacture, but heavy liquidation since the new tariff bill was enacted gives impression that some dealers are no longer confident of a speedy advance; nevertheless prices have risen past few weeks noarly one cent a round. Manufacturers are buying but little, though they are rapidly increasing their output and are able to advance of about 10 per cont. in prices on their goods with rapidly Increasing orders.

The temporary curtailment of the output of cotton mills continues, but. it does not yet bring improved prices for products, although the demand generally is gaining. The failures of the United States for the week were 237 against 240 last year. New York, Aug. woekly trade report says that general trade shows most pronounced gains this week at Chicago, St.

Louis and Galveston. A feeling of confidence that general business is to improve early in the autumn is marked in these cities, a and purchases of drygoods, clothing, shoes and other staples have increased heavily and are followed by a disposition to move prices up. Purchases were restricted at Kansas City, Omaha and some other western points early in the week, owing to the extreme heat and fears of damage to the Indian corn crop, but the rains and cooler weather have stimulated the demand again. On the Pacific coast business is brisk. The movement of general merchandise throughout the country is unquestionably larger than last week.

Cotton goods and woolen industries a1'6 better off and the stagnation in iron and steel has given way to a growing inquiry and Increasing output. But more significant still is the extraordinary expansion in bank clearings week. The upward tendency of prices during the past three weeks is again a feature, wool being firmer and higher for some varletles and cotton yarns stronger. Shoes are no higher, but leather and hides cost more than a week ago, as do wheat (notwithstanding the reaction in September options), wheat flour, pork, lard, compared with the corresponding week of last year. sugar, soft coal and tea.

There is a 25 cent advance in Bessemer pig Iron at Pittsburg where makers decline ordars for future delivery at current quotations and for Iron bars and iron and steel sheets at western centers. Quotations for cotton and print cloths remain practically unchanged, while those for corn and oats are lower on Improved crop prospects. Other quotations which show declines are on coffee, petroleum, turpentine and rosin. Exports of wheat (flour included) from both coasts of the United States and Montreal this week show a sharp increase, amounting to 000 bushels, compared with 2,343,000 last week and 2,747,000 for the week a year ago. Exports of Indian corn this week were 8,224,000 bushels compared with 1,257,000 for a similar week a year ago.

A TRUSTFUL ENGLISHMAN. Came Over With $80,000 and Borrowed His Fare Home. "A blithe looking, chipper and sociable young Englishman, he was friendly and open hearted; not at all the surly and exclusive sort of Briton we are used to in America, and when he came into the hotel he shook hands cordially, like he was meeting an old friend," said C.

M. Burleigh, of Chicago, recalling an odd illustration of the vicissitudes of life. as "That was eight years ago, and I was clerk in one of the big hotels in Chicago. I liked young fellow from the start. 'Take good care of that he said, as he handed over his grip.

'It's got a good bit of money 'How I asked. 'Something over "Sure enough, that was what the big bag contained, and that was only a part of his wealth. He had come over to the states to try his luck at mising cattle in Montana. I advised him to be cautious about investing his money, for I saw ho was innocent of the world, and could be easily imposed on. "He bade mo a merry goodbye and started for the west.

Six months passed, and one day he turned up at the hotel again. Sure enough, he had been bled by sharpers, and that, with his own mismanagement, had caused him to lose nearly all his money. He still had left about $5,000, and sald he was going back to England to get the remainder of his fortune. "Six weeks ago I met him, this time in Philadelphia. This time he was a member of an opera company that had met disaster on the road, and I let.

It 18 8 cage with a glass front, through which passes a current of filtered air, constantly renewed and maintained porpetually at a perfectly even tempernture. Our practical minds Immediatoly appreciated the fact that the entiro trick of this artificial breeding was there; that this was the invention, in short. The motherly hen who gathers her eggs under her wings is not obliged to combat any question of respiration.

The friendly artifices that SO successfully supplant her need concoin themselves only with heat. But even the fondest mother usually succumbs before the problem of giving a strong healthy baby a constant supply of fresh air which never varles in temperature, and ends by giving a delicate child no air at all. The temperature in tho incubator is maintained by a self-regulating thermometer. The exact degree of hont required in proportion to the development the wee morsel of humanity is first estimated by a system of calculation. If the temperature rises above that level the thermometer rises well, and by its ascension alone diminishes the action of the current of hoat.

If the tends to fall, the thermometer more heat to temperature pass. To watch these little animate rolls was quite blow to that instinct which makes us associate a cortain state with the now-born heir to eternal life entering into his kingdom of existence. They were all exactly alike, red and wrinkled, sleeping away like so many little animals. They were dressed, however, in little white frocks on 1.0 SaW the finest of French needle-work above the limbs, swathed, according to French custom, and each had eL tiny bow of the narrowest pink ribbon on her sleeves. Four times a day they are taken out and fed, and the tiniest mites, "six-month bables" as they are called, are fed through the nose by a curious spoon, with a bowl like a rose petal pinched together at one end.

At the back of the room WO noticed 2. little glass-room, in which were two rosy-faced nurses, for so simple and so purely mechanical is of haby-Incubating that very little care neoded. Each baby is touched only six times a day--four times to be fed, twice changed. The nurses live in a temperature of about twenty-five degrees centigrade. The baby is covered to be carried to the nurse, and 28 soon a8 it is normal it takes the breast.

Out of the eleven mites in the room when we were there five weighed less than two pounds at birth. Out of 185 childron carried to incubator in three years, 157 have been saved. The baby incubator was invented In 1891, and charity incubators France are the work of a philanthropist, Dr. Lion, who has interested. prominent people of all sorts and conditions of life in the work, and hopes to establish similar institutions all over Paris.

An incubator can be rented for sixty francs a month, and any family, by means of an ordinary gas tube, a kerosene lamp, or a current of electricity, and twelve dollars a month can save a little life, still more precious to those to whom it has been given, by reason of its Bazar. yet DISCUSS SEAL FISHERIES. Commissioners Foster and Hamlin Call on Secretary Sherman. Washington, Aug, John W. Foster, who has just roturned from Europe, called at the state department Saturday with his associate in the seal fisheries negotiations, Hamlin, and saw Secretary Sherman.

He made no written report, but in conversation with the secretary gave a comprehensive idea of the result of his misison. Later in the day Foster called on Secretary Gage and had a consultation with him, much of which was probably devoted to a discussion of the financial question from a Eurorean standpoint. Foster and Hamlin will leave in a day or two for Lake Champlain' where they will report to tho president, Both declined positively to make any public statement on the result of the work they have in hand and particularly to give any information as to the conditions under which the conference to regulate the seal question will assemble In this olty In October..
