Nature's Laboratory. The cream of tartar tree belongs to the category of plants yielding ready mado products. They are members of the genus "Adansonia." The height of the tree is from fprty to seventy feet, while the top is over one hundred and eighty feet across. A Venetian who has left us the most ancient description of the tree, tells us that lu 1454 he found one at the mouth of the Senegal with a circum? ference of one hundred and twelve feet. The tree is very disproportion? ate, as may be gathered from the fact that whom the Aus? tralian species ia one eighty-five feet in circumference at a height of two feet from the ground.

The acid ls found in the farinacious pulp i-rurrounding the seed, and has at all times been highly esteemed by travelers, who mix it with a little water in order to make a refreshing beverage. The bark of the tree con? tains a remarkably strong fiber which In some parts is made into ropes, in others woven into cloth. A bitter principle, to which the name of "Adansonin" has been given, is ex? tracted from the bark. It appears in fine white needles of a smell similar to thal of aloes or gentian, and ls ex? tremely bitter in taste. It is inter? esting from the fact that it is the only product known up to the pres? ent that has an antagonistic action to the Strophanthus arrow-poison, a a deadly poisonous seed used by the natives on the west and east coasts of Africa, to insure their arrows in tlicting a fatal wound.

'mmm Scale or Enerjjy. A story is told by a gentleman in one of whose shops ls a Geiman me? chanic who is something of a genius. Lying on this German's bench a gentleman connected with the works Baw a hammer, on the handle of which were figures. "What is that for?" the man who was making the rounds asked. don't you know vot for? Ef I got von tolJar a tay 1 takes hold of him like dot." And suiting the ac? tion to the word he grasped the handle, near the head of the hammer, down over the dollar mark, and pounded away about as effectively as would a red-headeJ woodpecker.

"But ef I got tree foliar I takes hold of him like dot," And he grasped thc handle at, its extreme end and swung thc hammer with a force that would have driven a cold chisel a quarter of inch into steel at every blow. Anybody who has had much experience in handling men will readily see in the German mechanic's hammer handle a very suggestive ob? ject Record.

When I see the apple char.ls of tho spring and the pageantry the autumnal forests, I come to the cone! sion that, if nature does ever join the churc while she bo a Quaker in the silence her warship, she never will bo a Quaker the style ot her dress.

Why the notches a fern leaf or the stamen of a water lil Why, when the day departs, does it lot folding doors of heaven stay open so lo: When it might so in so quickly One summer morning I saw an army ol million spears, each one adorned with diamond of the first mean grass, with the dew on it. When prodigal came home, his father not or put a coat on his buck, but jowelry on 1 hand. Christ wore a beard. Paul, bachelor apostle, not afflicted with sentimentality, admired the arrangement a woman's hair when he said in his epist "If a woman have long hair, it is a gie anto her." There will be a fashion in heaven as earth, but it will be a different kind fashion. It will decide the color ol the dre and the population of thnt country, bj beautiful law, will wear white.

I say thi things as a background to mv sermon show you that I have no prim, preci prudish or cast iron theories on the subj of human apparel. But the goddess fashion hns sot up her throne in this wor and at the sound of the timbrels weare expected to fall down anl worship. 1 Old and New Testament of her Bible i the fashion plates. Her altars smoko the sacrifice of the bodies, minds and so' of 10.000 victims. In her temple fe people stand in tho ortran loft, and fr them there comes down a cold drizzle muse, freezing ou the ears of her worsliipe This goddess of fashion has become a ri' of the Lord of heaven and earth, and it high time that we unlimbered our latter against this idolatry.

When I come count the victims of fashion, I find as ma masculine as feminine, Men make an ei tirade against woman, as though shew the chief worshiper at this idolatrc shrine, nnd no doubt some men in the mi conspicuous part of the pew have aire? cast glances at tho more retired part of' pew. their look a prophecy of generous tribution. My sermon shall beasappropri for one end ot the pew as forthe other. Men are as much the idolaiors of fash as women, lut they sacrifice on a differ part of the altar, With men the fash goes to cigars and clubrooms and yacht parties and wine suppers. In the Uni States the men chew up aud smoke 000.000 worth of tobacco every year.

is their fashion. In London not lom1; ag man died who started in life with $750,1 but he ate it all up in gluttonies, sending agents to all parts ot toe earth for some i delicacy for the palate, sometimes one of food costing him $300 or He up his whole fortun" and had oniy a gui left. With that he bought a woodcock had it dressed in the very best style, ab gave two hours for digestion, then wal out on Westminster bridgeand threw him into the Thames and died, doing on a If scalo what you and I have often seen on a small seale. But mm do not abs from millinery and elaboration of through any superiority of humility. I only because sum appendages would blockade to busines What would s.t anl trains three and a yarala long a stock marketV Andys, mea are the ciples of fashion just as much as won Some of them wear boots so tight they hardly walk in tho paths of righteousi And there are men who buy expensive of clothes and never pay lor them, au I go through the streets in great stripes color like animated checkerboards.

1 these things because I want to you I am impartial in my discourse, and both sexes, in tho language of the st (fate's office, shall "share and share ali As God may help me, I shall show you tue the destroying and deathful iuflue of inordinate fashion. The first banelul influence I notice i fraud, illimitable and ghastly. Do you that Arnold of the revolution propose sell his country in order to get mone support his wife's wardrobe? I declare beiore God and this people that the effo keep up expensive establishments in country is sending more business mei temporal perdition than all other es combined. What was it that sent Gilmi the penitentiary and Philadelphia Mortc the watering ot stock, and the life insur presidents to perjured statements a their assets, and completely upsol American finances? What wis it that threw the United States secretaty at Vi ington, the crash of fall continent? But why should I go to mousdefaultings to show what men in order to keep up great home style an pensive wardrobe when you and I scores of men who are put to thoir wits and are lashed from January to Dece in the attempt? Our politicians may tl ize until the expiration of their terms flee us to the best way of improving monetary condition in I his country. It be of uo use, and things will be no until we can learn to put on our head backs aud teet ami hands no more thi can pay for.

There are clerks in stores and bank limited salaries who, in the vain attemj keep the wardrobe of their family as as other folks' wardrobes, are dying of i and diamonds and shawls and high hats they have nothing left except what to cigars and wine suppers, and thoy fore their time, and they will expect us isters to preach about them as thouga were the victims of early piety, and af high class funeral, with silver handles side of of extraordinary bi ness, it will be found out that the taker is cheated out of his legitimate penses. Do not send to mo to preacl funeral sermon of a man who dies like I will blurt out the whole truth and tel he was strangled to death by his wife's bons. Our countries are dressed to You are not surprised to find that the ting up one public building in New cost millions ot dollars moro than it i to have cost when you rind that the who gave out tho contracts paid more JfCOOO for his daughter's wedding i Cashmeres of a thousand dollars eaci nut rare on Broadway.

A man thinks more oi his than Of all the world outside, and il spend the evening in describing to hil superior wardrobe of the family street that they cannot bear the light man is thrown on his gallantry ia" 1 pride of family, and without tranlatir feelings into plain language he goes in tortion and issuing stock and si penmanship in writing ROmeboly name at the foot of a promissory note they all go down hnsbs the prison, the wife to the sewing mai the chiM ren to be taken care o' by thos were called poor relations. Oh, for sora Shakespeare to arise and write the tr of human clothes! Will you me if I say in Shape possible that some of the men forge an Ito perjure and to swinllo 1 fortheir wives' dresses. I will say it Wi you forgive me or uot! Again, inordinate fashion is the foe Christian almsgiving. Men and eo much in personal display that they jave nothing for God and the cause fering humanity.

Ono hundroi dol? lars for incense to fashion two cents for God. Go 1 gives us ninety cents out of every dollar. The other ten cents by command of His Bible belong to Him. Is not Go 1 liberal according to His tithing system laid down in the Old Testament? ls not Gol liberal in giving us ninety cents out of a dollar when He takes but ten? Wo do not like that.

Wo want to have ninety-nine cents for ourselves and one for God. Now, I would a great deal rather steal ten cents from you than from God. I think one reason why a great many people do not get along in worldly accumulation faster is be? cause they do not observe this divine rule. God says, "Well, if that man is not satisfied with ninety cents of a dollar, then I will take the whole dollar, and I will give it to the man cr woman who is honest with Me." The greatest obstacle to charity in the Chris? tian church to-day is tho fact that men ex? pend so much money on their table, ant wo? men so much on their they have got nothing lett for the work of Gol and world's betterment. In my first settlement at Belleville, N.

the cause of missions was being presented one Sabbath, and a plea for the charity ofthe people was being made, when an old Christian man in the audience lost his balance an I said right out in the midst of the sermon, "Mr. Talmage, how ara we to give liberally to those grand and glori? ous causes when our families dress as they do?" I (Jid not answer that question. It was tho only time in my life when I hal nothing to say. Again, inordinate fashion is distraction to public worship. You know vry well there are a gool many people who come to church just as they go to the see who will come out first.

What a flutter it makes in church when some worn in with extraordi? nary display of fashion comes in ''Whit a love of a says one. "What a per? fect fright!" says 500. For tha most merci? less critics in the world aro fashion critics. Men and women with souls to bo save pass? ing the hour in wondering where that man got his cravat or what store that woman patronizes. In many of our churches tho preliminary exercises are takenup with tho discussion of wardrobes.

It is pitiable. Is it not won derful that the Lord does not strike the meetinghouses with light Ding? What dis? traction of public worship Dying men aud and women, bodies aro soon to be turned into dust, yet before three worlds strutting like peacocks, tha aw'ul question of the soul's destiny submerge I by th ques? tion of navy blue velvet and long fan irain skirt, long enoug to drag nu tho church aisle, the husaaad's store, ofli shop, fac? tory, fortune and the admiration of half thu people in tho building'. Men anl women come late to church to show their clothes. People sitting down in a pew or taking up a hymnbook, all absorbed at tho same time In personal array, to sing Kise, my soul, and stretch thy wings; Thy better portion trace. Rise from transitory Uklagl Toward heaven, tay native I adopt the Episcopalian prayer anl say, "Good us!" Iusatiate fashion also belittles the intel? lect-.

Our minds ara enlarged or they dwin? dle just in proportion to tho importance ol the subject on which wo constantly dwell. Can you imagine anything more dwarfing to the human iutelleet than tho stu ly of fash? ion? I see men on the street who, judging from their elaboration, must hava taken two hours to arrange apparel. After a few years of that kind ot absorption, which one of McAllister's magnifying will be powerful enough to mako the man's charac? ter visible? They all land in idiocy. I have sien men at tho summer watering places, through fashion, the mora wreck ot what they once were. Sallow of cheek.

Meagro of limb. Hollow at tho chest. Show? ing no animation save in rushing across a room to pick up a lady's fan. Siriporinq along the corridors tho same compliments they simpered twenty years ago. A Nsw York lawyer at United States Hotal, Sara? toga, within ont hearing, rushed a I room to say to a sensible woman, foo ar ns sweet as peaches The foob of fashion are myriad.

Fashion not only destroys the bo ly, but it mikes idiotic the intellect. Yet, my friends, I havo given von only the milder phase of this evil. It shutii aaHSat multitude out of heaven. Tho Hrs! thunder that shook Sinai declared, "Thou shalt have no other God before Me," and you will havo to choose between the goddess ot fashion and the Christian God. There are a trreat many seals in heaven, nd thej aro all easy seats, but not one seat for the devotee of fashion.

Heaven is lor meek and spirits. Heaven is for those whothinli more of their souls than of their bodies. Heaven is for those who hava more joy in Christian charity than in dry goo ls religion, Why. if you, with your idolatry qf fashion, should somehow get into heaven, you wonk be for putting a French roof on tho of many mansions." Give up this idolatry of fashion or give up heaven. What wouk you do odin ling beside tho Countuss Huntington, whose joy it was to buik chapels for the poor, or with that Christiat woman of Boston who fe I 1503 children tho street at Faneail Hall on New Year's day, giving out as a sort of doxology at end of the, meeting a pair of shoes to encl one of them, or those Dorcases of moden society who nave consecrated their needle! to the Loral, and who will get eternal rew.arc for every stitch they take? men aud women, give up tho idolatr of fashion The rivalries, an 1 the competi tiona oi such a life are a stupendous wretch edness.

You will alway! lind some one wit brighter array and with more palatial resi I dence, and with lavender Iud gloves thal make a tighter fit.

The Tien Tsin correspondent of the Central News says: "A Chinese cruiser has captured a Japanse trading bark aud taken hor to Taku. All pilots have boen warned officially that they must not gnido Japaneso vessels nor give thom any information as to the waters and coast. "Tho rivers are falling steadily in conse? quence of the drought. It will soon be im? possible for the Japaneso to make a raid up tho rei-Ho toward Pekin." The Central News correspondent in Shang? hai says that Col. von Hcnneken has mado affidavit concerning the sinking of the Kow Shing.

This 'affidavit differs frcm tho ac? counts already given only in a fow details. lu it Col. von Henneken says that, after tho demands of the Japanese officors and tho re? plies of tho English and Chinese has been mado, tho cruiser Naniwa, which lay on the port side, launched two torpedoes and fired six guns at the Kow Shing. Tho transport was struck amidships and sank quickly. The Europeans jumped into the water be? fore tho transport was hit and the Chinese began to jump in as tho transport settled.

The Naniwa lowered an armed boat which kept up the fire on the Kow Shing until she went under. Col. von Henneken repeats that both the Kow Shing and Naniwa fired on those swimming between them. A copy of a Japaneso edict, issued since the declaration of war, has been received by the Central News correspondent in Shanghai. This edict says that the local authorities will be held responsible for the lives and proper? ties of Chinese subjects remaining in their several districts.

The Russian officials in Shanghai say that if Russia trade suffers to severely from the war, Russia will intervone. Russia's move? ments aro watched very closely by Japan, owing to tho reports of a Russo-Chineso entente. The Russia newspapers are abandoning tha idea of au amicable understanding between England and Russia with respect to Korea, and are publishing anti English articles. Especially suspicious of England is the Novoo VreLiya, which declares that England is secretly supporting China and that Japan will soon Hnd this out. Tho London Daily News remarks that U1I3 languago is not worthy, inasmuch as tho abatements made would not be permitted to pass tho censorship if the Russian govern? ment objected to them.

Tho weather on the China Sea is so rough that all smaller vessels have been driven into port. Tho Japanese cruisers aro supposed to be concentrating at Chemulpo. The Central News has this dispatch from Shanghai concerning the actibn of Chinese soldiers in seizing Japanese subjects aboard tho British steamer Chung King last week; British steamer Chung King arrived in port. Tho captain says that while his ship was atTungku, on tho Gulf of Chin? ese soldiers came aboard her with the avowed purpose of seizing tho Japaneso passengers. They found sixty Japaneso, mostly women aud at once began to hunt them down.

They pursued the Japanese nil over tho vessel, bound them hand and foot as soon as caught, and flung them over on tho wharf. Li Hung Chang, when informed or this violation cf the British flag, commanded that the Japanese bo returned at onco to the Chung King, and that the soldiers who mado the raid be punished severely." Capt. Lang, a former director in tho Chin eso navy, and supervisor of the building of many forts, said in an interview: ''Tho hinese are welltrainedaud excellent marLs nien. China's navy is about equal to Japan's. The Japanese have more dash and spirit than the Chinese have; but all depends upon how the Chinese are led.

If they have con? fidence in their leaders they will face any? thing without fear of death. If Admiral Ting led them, they would prove themselves a splendid force. Some of tho Chinese oth? ers, particularly those trained in America, are bright examples of everything that they should be. The lack of spirit is a great draw? back to tho Chinese troops. Regarding the Chinese forts, thoy are well to the fore.

Ho feared that discipline had become lax since the European influence was withdrawn. is now," he said, "no high European official in fte navy, though there are ono or two English officers at Wei-Hai-Wei. If the powers allow a wai a outrance, Japan must eventually be utterly Brushed." An extra of the Official Gazette was pub? lished, containing a proclamation notifying British subjects of tho existence of war be' tween Japan and China, and declaring Great Britain's neutrality.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO. The Wonderful Gulf Stream. who visit tho east coast of Florida, and especially tbe Jndian River and the Lake Worth region, often wonder why the climate of that section is so delightful at all times of the year and no different in al? most every particular from what ono would expect In those latitudes. The explanation is simple enough.

Tho difference between northern and Flo ida, apart, from the latitudinal distance, is due to tho elevation of the former and the dis? tance from it of the Gulf stream. The waters of the Gulf of Mexico temper tbo immediate coast line. Their effect does not extend far in? land. The stream ii pressed close to tlv east coast shore along Dade Coun? ty ly the banks. Atlantic steamships southwaid bound, to avoid the force ot' thc current, stand In so near the shore that they can at some points be hailod from land.

The Gulf stream is an old story, but it is a great fact. This vast, deep liiue river, a thousand times the volume of the Mississippi, is Ihlrty miles wide, 2,000 feet deep, and has a velocity of five miles an hour the year round. The tempera? ture of the stream is eighty-four de? grees, or nine degrees higher than the waters of the ocean through which it flows. The trade winds blowing niue-tcnthsof the time, win? ter and summer from the eastward, bear the stratum of warm air formed by the Gulf stream westward acio-s the land. This is why the east coast is milder and more equable than thc coast in the 6ame latitude.

With the Gulf stream are found three other equalizing trade winds, the Everglades, with a water surface preventing a land breeze, and thc zone of high barometric press? ure. The midsummer heat, that might otherwise be ninety-five de? grees, is reduced to something like eighty-eight degrees. The midwin? ter chili, which might get down to thirty degrees, is warmed up to some? thing like forty degrees. Counselor "Therefore." Sergeant Kelly, a celebrity of the Irish bar, had a remarkable habit of drawing conclusions redly at vari? ance with premises, and was consequently nicknamed "Counselor Therefore." In cf-urt, on one occa? sion, he thus addressed the jury: "The case is so clear, gentlemen, that you can not possibly misunder? stand it, and I should pay your un? derstandings a very poor compliment if I dwelt upon it for another mi? nute; therefore, I shall at once pro? ceed to explain it to you as minutely as possible."
