The world may criticise and pronounce it an inaptitude and may lift its eyebrows in surprise and think it might suggest something better, but the God who sees the 20, 40, 50 years of wedded life before they have begun arranges for the best. So that flowers in almost all cases are appropriate for the marriage day. The divergences of disposi- tion will become correspondences, reck- lessness will become prudence, frivolity Will be turned into practicality. [“1 of the sky. II If you ask me the question, “What are flowers good for?” I respond, they are good for the bridal day. The bride must have them on her brow, and she must have them in her hand. The marriage altar must be covered with them. A Wedding Without flowers would be as in- appropriate as a wedding without music. At such a time they are for congratula- tion and prophecies of good. So’much of the pathway of life is covered up with thorns, We ought to cover the beginning with orange blossoms. There has been many an aged widowed soul who had a. carefully locked bureau, and in the bureau a box, and in the box a. folded paper, and in the folded paper .a half blown rose. slightly fragrant, dis- colored, carefully pressed. She put it there 40 or 50 years ago. On the anni- versary day of her wedding she will go to the bureau, she will lift the box. she will uhfold the paper, and to her eyes No wonder Martin Luther always had a flower on his writing desk for inspira- tion! Through the cracks of the prison floor a flower grew up to cheer Picciola. Mungo Park, the great traveller and ex- plorer, had his life saved by a. flower. He dank down in the dwarf. to die; but, seeing a. flower near by, it suggested God’s merciful care, and he got up with new courage and travelled on to safety. I said the flowers are the angels of the grass. I add now they are the evangels I remark, in the first place, they are good for lessons of God’s providential fare. That was Christ’s first thought. All these flowers seem to address us to- day, saying: “God will give you apparel and food. We have no wheel with which to spin, no loom with which to Weave, no sickle with which to harvest, no well sweep with which to draw water, but God slakes our thirst with the dew, and God feeds us with the bread of the sun- diine. and God has appareled us with more than Solomonic regality. We are prophetesses of adequate wardrobe. “If God so clothed us, the grass of the field, will he not much more clothe you, 0 ye of little faith?” Men and women of worldly anxieties, take this message home with you! How long has God taken care of you? Quarter of the journey of life? Half the journey of life? Three- .quarters the journey of life? Can you :not trust him the rest of the way? God does not promise you anything like that which the Roman Emperor had on his table at vast expenseâ€"500 nightingales’ tonguesâ€"but he has promised to take care of you. He has promised you the necessi- ties, not the luxuriesâ€"bread, not cake. If God so luxuriantly clothes the grass: of the field, will he not provide for you, , his living and immortal children? He‘ will. i The flowers are the angels of the grass. They all have voices. When the clouds speak they thunder, when the whirlwinds speak them scream, when the cat-tracts speak they roar; but when the flowers speak they always Whisper. I stand here to interpret their message. What have you to say to us. 0 ye angels of the grass? This morning I mam to discuss What flowers are good for. That is my subject, What are flOWch good for? Belonging to this royal family of lilies are the lily of the Nile, the Japan lily, the Lady Washington of the Sierras, the Golden Band lily, the Giant lily of Ne- paul. the Turk’s cap lily, the African lily from the Cape of Good Hope. All these lilies have the royal blood in their veins. But I take the lilies of my text this morning as typical ofi all flowers. and their voice of floral beauty seems to address us, saying: “Consider the lilies, consider the azaleas, consider the fuchsias, consider the geraniums, consider the ivies. consider the hyacinths, consider the heliotropes, consider the oleanders.” With deferential and grateful and intelli- gent and worshipful souls, consider them. Not with insipid sentimentalism or with sophomoric vaporing, but 'Lfor grand and practical and everyday, and, if need be, homely uses, consider them. The lily is the queen of Bible flowers. The rose may have disputed her throne in modern times and won it, but the rose originally had only five petals. It was under the long continued and intense gaze of the world that the rose blushed into its present beauty. In the Bible train, eassia and hyssop and frankinoense and myrrh and spikenard and camphor and the rose follow the lily. Fourteen times in the Bible is the lily mentioned; only twice the rose. The rose may now have Wider empire, but the lily reigned in the time of Esther, in the time of Sol- omon. in the time of Christ. Caesar had his throne on the hills. The lily had her throne in the valley. In the greatest ser- mon that was ever preached there was only one flower, and that a lily. The Bedford dreamer, John Bunyan, entered the house of the interpreter and was shown a cluster of flowers and was told to “consider the lilies.” . We may study or reject other sciences ; at our optionâ€"it is so with astronomy, it is so With chemistry, it is so with jurisprudence, it is so with physiology, it is so with geologyâ€"but the science of botany Christ commands us to study when he says, “Consider the lilies.” Measure them from root to tip of petal. Inhale their breath. Notice the graceful- ness of their poise. Hear the Whisper of the White lips of the eastern and the red lips of the American lily.

Washington, April 2.â€"â€"Rev. Dr. Tal~ mage this morning preached from the text, Luke xii, 28, “It then God so clothe the grass, which is to-day in the field, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, 0 ye of little faith?” He said: SPRING’S APPEAL TO ALL TO HAVE FAITH IN GOD. EFFECTIVE HOMELY GLAD EASTERTIDE. SIMILE. If you asked me the question, “What are flowers good for?” I answer, “For religious symbolism.” Have you ever studied Scriptural flora? The Bible is an arboretum, it is a divine conservatory, it isaherbarium of exquisite beauty. If you want to illustrate the brevity of the highest human life, you will quote from Job, “Man cometh forth as a flower and is cut down.” Or you will quote from the psalmist, “As the flower of the field, so he perisheth; the wind passeth over it, and it is gone.” Or you will quote from Isaiah, “All flesh is grass, and the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field.” Or you will quote from James the apostle, “As the flower of the grass. so he passeth away.” What graphic Bible symbolism! All the cut flowers will soon be dead, whatever care you take of them. Though morning and night you baptize them in the name of the shower, the baptism will not be to them a saving ordinance. They have been fatally wound- ed with the knife that cuts them. They are bleeding their life away; they are dying new. The fragrance in the air is their departing and ascending spirits. Oh, yus! Flowers are almost human. Botanists tell us that flOWers breathe, they take nourishment, they eat, they drink. They are sensitive. They have their likes and dislikes. They sleep. they Wake. They live in families. They have their ancestors and their descendants, their birth, their burial, their cradle, their grave. The zephyr rocks the one, and the storm digs the trench for the otth‘. The cowslip must leave its gold, the lily must leave its silver, the rose must leave its diamond necklace of morn- ing dew. Dust to dust. So we come up, we Drosper, we spread abroad, We die, as the flowerâ€"as the flower! Change and decay in all around I see; 0 thou who changeth not, abide with mel Flowers also afford mighty symbolism of Christ, who compared himself to the ancient queen, the lily, and the modern queen, the rose, When he said, “I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valâ€" ley. ” Redolent like the one. humble like the other.

There are not so many steamers and trains coming to any living city as there are convoys coming from heaven to earth, and if there be instan- taneous and constant communication be- tween this world and the better World, do you not suppose your departed friends know what you do with their bodies?

The worst gash ever made into the side of our poor earth is the gash of the grave. It is so deep, it is so cruel, it is so in- curable, that it needs something to cover it up. Flowers for the casket, flowers for the hearse, flowers for the cemetery. What a contrast betWeen a grave in a country churchyard, with the fence broken down and the tombstone aslant and the neighboring cattle browsing amid the mullein stalks and the Canada this- tles, and a June morning in Greenwood, the wave of roseate bloom rolling to the top of the mounds and then breaking into foaming crests of white flowers all around the pillows of dust. It is the difl‘erence between sleeping under rags} and sleeping under an embroidered blan- ket. We want old Mortality with his chisel to go through all the graveyards in Christendom. and While he carries a chisel in one hand we want old Mortality to have some flower seed in the palm of the other hand. ring on the third finger of the left hand, and the benediction of the calla lilies. If you ask me the question, “What are Ah, my friends, let not the prophecies of the flowers on your wedding day be false prophecies. Be blind to each other’s faults. Make the most of each other’s excellences. Remember the vows, the pear and right hands are joined, and a manly voice promises, “I will. for better or for worse,” and the wedding march thunders a. salvo of joy at the departing crowd, but a. sigh on that anniversary day scatters the scene. Under the deep fetched breath the alter, the flowers, the congratulating groups are scattered, and there is nothing left but a trembling hand holding a faded rosebud, which is put into the paper and then into the box, and the box carefully placed in the bur- eau, and with a. sharp, sudden click of the lock the scene is over. will be exposed the half blown bud, and the memories of the past will rush. upon her. and a tear will drop upon the flower, and suddenly it is mnsflgured, and there is a stir in the dust of the author, and it rounds Out, and it is full of life, and it begins to tremble in the procession up the church aisle, and the dead music of a. half century . 00 comes throbbing through the air, and vanished faces reap- THE WMTHVIW-WWDER: LINDSAY, ON‘a Certainly Looks That Way.

Sulphate of quinine has some very cur- ions properties, one of them being its power to impress an image of itself on a sheet of sensitive paper in the dark. If a design be drawn on a sheet of paper with sulphate of quinine, exposed for a few minutes to the sun, then placed on a sheet of sensitive paper, put in a book. and left for a. few hours, a perfect image of the drawing will be found impressed on the sheet of paper. Writing may be copied in sensitive paper in this way, but- it must be reversed, or the writing will be reversed on the sensitive paper. “By all means,” said Edison, “put on the rods.

When Lord Nelson was buried in St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, the heart of all England was stirred. The procession passed on amid the sobbing of a nation. There were 30 truinpeters stationed at the door of the cathedral, with instru- ments of music in hand, waiting for the signal, and, when the illustrious dmd arrived at the gates of St. Paul’s Catheâ€" dral, these 30 trumpeters gave one united blast, and then all was silent.

The flowers spell resurrection. There is not a nook or corner in all the building but is touched with the incense.

Also, the acids of the apple are of great use for men of sedentary habits, Whose livers are sluggish in action, these acids serving to eliminate from the body noxious matters, which if retained would make the brain heavy and dull, or bring about jaundice or skin eruptions or other allied troubles.

The malic acid of ripe apples, either raw or cooked, will neuv tralize any excess of chalky matter en- gendered by saltins: too much meat.
