Industries .tnd Iron, contains some rvtnu‘klble statistics, showing the in- crease of the British export and import trade during the twelve months end- ing on the lust day of July, 1596. It was in July. INDY). that the first unmis- takable symptoms of a decided improve- ment in l-lritish trade was obs-Ned. By any of ltlcttsltring the exact extent. of that intprtwetnettt. the first. seven months of last year are compared with the corresponding part of lr‘fltl. It ap- pears that for the seven months up to and including July of 1596 the exports from the l'nited Kingdom amounted in tt-llllti numbers It) Stii3'3,iii‘:â€"t,ll(lll. Fur ll]? same period of this year the exports t‘\llll'li a totsll value of $701,635,000, \-i2l('ll attests an increase of not less til tn $tl~.3lott.0t30. Such an expansion. dis- tributed over so short a span of time. is not improperly described by Indus- tries and Iron :1s a. colossal leap in the. direction of prosperity. The proof of im- provement is the nlore decisive because the value of the reâ€"exports of foreign and colonial produce during the pres- ent year is actually less than it. was during the corresponding part of 1395. it follows that the vast accession to the otttpour of manufactures from British ports had its only source in the I nited Kingdom. If he look now at imports iillt) Great. Britain. we find here. too. a notable. though not quite so large an increase in the period in question. Dur- ing the Sow-n months ending July 31, tells, the t nited Kingdom bought from t't reign and colonial lands commodities valued at 51.193.013.000. as against 31,- 234,173.000 in the similar period of the preswlt year; the gain is obviously over sixty million dollars. “'httt other counâ€" try can display for the same period re- urns which relatively are so favorable? To the transit-lions with what coun- tries is this signal increase in the trade of Grett Britain mainly due? The offi- cial figures indicate that the exparsion of exports is chiefly attributable 13 the (it-Spllit'lt of railroad material to China. Japan and the Argentine Confederation. So far as the first of these. countries is concerned. the demand for the sup- plies lltentinnetl is likely to be immense- ly augmented in the near future. That the Middle Kingdom will long neglectl vastly l the opportunity of increasing her industrial and fiscal resources through the creation of a great system of railway communication is inconceiv- able- and the l'nited Kingdom. which, already commands four-fifths of China's foreign trade. may not unreasonably e:.pect to furnish a large part of the railway material required. From the Japanese market not much is expected for Englishmen by Indus- tries and Iron. ilIlv‘$.‘ with the Chinese from the vicw-t point of commercial integrity.

Tnlmuge Decrles Acerblty and Sarcasm and Acrlmony. and Recommend: to All “The Soft ’l‘ouguc That Breukclh the Bone." “'ashington, Sept. 6.-â€"In these days when satire and retort and bitterness fill the air, the gospel carol of this ser- mon will do good to all who read and ' practice it. The text is Proverbs xxv., 15. “A soft tongue breaketh the bone." When Solomon said this, he drove a whole volume into one phrase. You, of course, will not be so silly as to take. the words of the text. in a literal sense. The-y simply mean to set forth the fact that there isa tremendous power in a kind word. Although it may seem to be very insignificant, its force is in- describable and illimitable. Pungent and all conquering utterance, "A soft tongue breaketh the bone.'-' If I had time. I would show you kindness as a means of defence, as a kindness as a the taming and curing of criminals and kindness as best adapted for the seL~ tling and quarrel, but I shall call your attention only to two of these thoughts. adjusting of international And, first, I speak to you of kindness Almost every The first impulse of the natural heart says: "Strike back.

DISTURBED HER NAP. luv u Scotch Mlnlstcr Buddy Called Ills Wife to an Accountlng. A minister named Pettigrew who, on .sking why his flock were so regard- Ics of his exhortation to them to re- .main awake during the sermons, was told that his own wife sat the exam- ple. but: as she sat below the pulpit she was out of the minister's sight. On :his it. was arranged that. on the fol- zowing Sunday the informant should hold up his finger when Mrs. Petti- ;rew succombed to Morpheus. The preacher bent forward and saw 'lts consort enjoying a. snug nap. With .. tremendous blow on the pulpit he :roused her from her slumber, and as the lady. who. according to the legend, was destitute of both fortune and beauty, looked up. he addremed her in accents of wrath: “Sit ye up there.

"that's a very good theory to preach on a hot day. but it won't work." It will work. It has worked. I believe it is the last Christian grace we win. You know there are fruits which we. gather in June, and others in July, and others in August, and others in September, and still others in October, andIhave to admit. that this grace of Christian forgiveness is about the last fruit. of the Christian soul. We hear a great deal about the bitter tongue, and the sarcastic tongue, and the quick ton- gue, and the stinging tongue, but. we know very little about “the. soft ton- gue that breaketh the bone." We read Hudibras and Sterne and Dean .s‘wlftz. and the other apostles of acri- mony. but give little time to studying the example of Him who was reviled. and yet reviled not again. Oh, that the Lord. by His Spirit, would endow us all with “the soft tongue that breaketh the bone." 1 pass now to the other thought. that I desire to present, and that. is kind- ness as a means of usefulness. [n all communities you find skeptical men. Through early education. or through the. maltreatment of rofessed Chris- tian people. or throng prying curio~ sl‘ty about the future world. there. are a great many people who become. skep- tical in religious things. How shall you capture them for God? Sharp ar- gument and sarcastic retort never won a single soul from skepticism to the Christitln religion. While power- ful books on the evidences of t‘hrts- tianity have their mission in conftrtnâ€" mg Christian people in the, faith they have already adopted, I have noticed. that. when skeptical people. arebrought tnto the kingdom of Christ. it. isthrough the charm of some genial soul. and not by argument at all. Men are not sav- ed through the head; they are saved through the heart. A storm comes out of its hiding place. It says “Now we'll just rouse up all this sea," and it makes a great blustcr, but lt does not succeed. Part of the sea. is roused upâ€"per- haps one-half of it or one-fourth of it. After awhile the calm moon, lacitland beautiful looks down, and the ocean begins to rise. It comes up to high water mark. It embraces the great headlands. It submergcs the beach of all the continents. It is the heartthrob of one word against the heart throb of another world. And I have to tell you that while all your storms of rtdtculc and storms of sarcasm may rouse up the passion of an immortal nature. nothing less than the attrac- tive power of Christian kindness can ever raise the deatbless spirit to hap- ptness and to God. 1 have more fatth l“ the prayer of a child 5 years old in the way of bringing an infidel back to Christ and to heaven than I have in all the hissing thunderbolts of acâ€" clesmstical controversy. You cannot overcome men with religious argu- mentation. If you come at a ske ttcal man with an argument. on behaf of the. Christian reltgion. you put the man on his mettle. He says: "I see that_ man has a carbine. I'll use my carbine. I'll answer his argument with my argument." But if you come to that man, persuading him that. you desire his happiness on earth and hts eternal welfare in the world to come. he cannot answer it. What I have said is just as true in the reclamation of the openly vicious. Did you ever know a drunkard to be saved through the caricature of a. drunknrdf Your mimicry of the stag- gering‘step. and the thick tongue and the. disgusting hiccough. only worse maddens his brain. But if you come to him in kindness and sympathy, if you show him that you appreciate the awful grip of a depraved appetite. if you persuade him of the fact that thou- sands who had the grappling hooks of evil inclination clutched in their soul as firmly as they now are in his have been rescued. then a ray of light will flash across his vision, and it will seem as if a supernatural hand were steady- ing his staggering gait. A good many years ago there lay in the streets of Richmond :1 man dead drunk, his face exposed to the blistering noonday sun. A Christian woman passed along, look- fellow 1” it over his face and passed on. The man roused himself up from his de- bauch and began to look at the hand- kercheif, and. 10! on it was tho name ctablc Christian wo- man of the city of Richmond.

There is no need of coming out before men and thundering to them the. law unless at the same time you preach to them the gospel. The world ts dyttlg for lack of kindness. These young people want it. just as much as the old. The. old people some- times seem to think they have a monopoly of the rheumatisms, and the ncuralgias, and the headaches, and the. physical disorders of the world: but. I tell you thcre are no worse heart- aches than are felt by some of these young people. of the work is done by the young? Raphael died 37, Richelieu at 31, Gustavus Adolphus died at. 38, In- nocent “I. came to his mightiest in- fluence at 37,. Cortes conquared Mexico at 30, Don John won Lepanto at; 25. Grotius was attorney-general at. :34, and I have. noticed amid all classes of men that. some of the. severest battles and the toughest work came before. 30. Therefore we must have our scr- mons and our exhortations in prayer meettng all sympathetic with the young. And so with these. people fur- ther on in life. \Vhat do these doctors and lawyers and merchants and me- chanics care about the abstractions of rellgton? \Vhat they want is help to bear the whinlsicalities of patients, the browbeating of legal opponents, the unfalrncss of customers, who have. plentypf fault finding for every im- perfectlon of, handiwork,but no praise dor' 20 excellencics. What does that brain racked, hand blistered man care for Zthgli‘s "Doctrine of Original SIR," or Augustin's "Anthropology?" You mtght as well go to a. man who has the pleurisy and put, on his side a. plaster made out. of Dr. Parr's “Trea- tise on Medical Jurisprudence." In all our sermons there must be help for everyone somewhere. You go into an npothccary store. We see others being waited on. \Ve do not: complain because we do not immediate.- ly get the medicine. \Ve know our turn wtll come after awhile. And so while all parts of a sermon may not; be appro mate. to our case, if we wait prayerfu 1y before the, sermon is through_ we shall have the divine prescrtptlon._ I say to these young men who are gotng to preach the gospel, these theological students, l say to them. We want. in our sermons not more metaphysics, nor more imagina- gtcgn, nor more logic, nor more profun- t y. What we want in our sermons and Chrtsttanvexhortations is more sym- pathy- “ hen Father Taylor preached m the Satlors’ Bethel. at Boston. the jack tars felt-t they had help for their duties among the ratlines and the fore- castles. When Richard Weaver preach- ed to the operatives in Oldham. Eng- land, all the workingtnen felt they had more grace for the spindles. When Dr. South preached to kings and princes and princesses, all the mighty men and women who heard him felt. preparation for their high station. Do you not know that this simple story of a Saviour's kindness is to re- deem all nations? The hard heart of the world’s obduracy ,is to be brok- en before that story. There is in Ant- werp, Belgium, one of the most rc- ‘m’a‘rkable pictures I ever saw. It Is the. Descent of Christ; from the Cross." It; is one of Rubens’ pictures.

It is an overmastermlr Dtcture-â€"0ne that stuns you and stag- gvrs you and haunts your dream.s. One afternoon a man stood in that cathe- dral looking at Rubens' ”Descent, From the. Cross." He was all absorbed in that Scene of a SaViour's sufferings. )f‘hcu the janitor came in and said: It is time to close up the cathedral for the night. I wish you would de- part." The. pilgrim, looking at that Descent From the Cross.” turned around to the janitor and said: ”N0? no: not yet. Wait; until they Stet btm down.” Oh; it is the story of a Saviour’s suffering kindness that is to capture the world.

M\x\s.\.\ \.V\~.r./ , GRAIN WHILE AT PASTURE. l "Notwithstanding the low prices of horses, and for that matter of all kinds .of stock at. the, present time, if they late to be kept at. all, it. is far better to keep them in good condition than to allow them at any time to become run down and very thin.” says the. ‘ Horse Breeder. "lt is sometimes stated :Hmt. it is cheaper to keep horses fat ‘ than it is to keep them poor, and there ,is some reason in such a claim, as the f 11. horse has something in reserve for 'any unusual drain, which the. poor one : does not. have. but whether it. is actual- ilY Cheaper keeping horses ill good con- 'dition or not it is certainly more pro- fitable. in several ways to do so, parti- cularly if they are raised for the. mar- ket, as almost. any horse looks and sells much better if in quite good flesh than if thin. "Along with the general low prices horsemen have one consolation. in that. cats and most. other kinds of grain now cost less than for many years. For the past twelve months. so very low have been the prices of cats, it. has been the general impression they could be. Purchased cheaper than they could pos- sibly be raised on our average eastern farms, and but for the value of the straw. considerable of which is used in eVery stable, this is probably the case. With farm productions it is often the case. that, extremely low prices in any given commodity are followed by a very decided advance. with more or less tcn- dcncy to go to the other extreme. This. however. is not yet the case with grain. as the prices for a year to come bid fair to be. if anything, even a trifle lower than those of the past year. “In and near our large cities a ton of first. quality of hay now costs just about. the same as that weight of the best. while oats. hence. as far as nutri- tion is concerned, the oats are certain- mical to feed, to at least a reasonable extent, than the. hay. though neither can entirely take the place of the other. On most of our stock farms it is cus- tomary during the. winter to giveex- cra feed and attention to such brood mares and young stock as are then thin, but. with the present. prices of grain. ‘if the pastures are so situated that. lgrain can be conveniently fed during .thc summer. every animal can be 'brought up to and kept. in firstâ€"class condition at a. comparatively small ex- pense while running out to pasture. Horses for all purposes are then mucll . more salable, and when in shape to sell to the best advantage, are necessarily in good condition to put to work or to [keep for breeding or any other pur-.

"As regards the expense, a peck of oats a day would be a very liberal feed for even mature horses that were out Ito pasture. and thcre‘are ..

The son that. staid at home destroyed the and pretended that the brother was absent. was dead and buried. The. absent. brother after awhile returned and claimed his part of the. property. Judges and jurors were. to be bribed to say that the returned brother and son was no son at all. but only an im- post‘cr. The trial came. on. Sir Mat- thew Hale, the pride of the.
