All “1" Find l'ongcnlul Occupation. Washington, Dec. 13.â€"Dr. Talmagc's sermon to-day gives a very unusual view of the celestial world and is one of the most unique discourses of the great preacher. The text is Ezekiel i. 1, "Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar. that the heavens were opened." Ezekiel. with others, had been ex- patriated, and while in foreign slavery. standing on the banks of the royal canal which he and other serfs had been condemned to dig by the order of Nebuchadnezzarâ€"this royal canal In the text called the river of Chebar â€"tbe illustrious exile had visions of heaven. Indeed it is almost always so -that the brightest visions of heaven come not to those who are on moun- tain top of prosperity, but to some John on desolate Patmos. or to some Paul in Mamertine dungeon, or to 501119. Ezekiel standing on the banks of a ditch he had been compelled to digâ€"yea. to the weary, to the heart- 'nlzcn. to those whom sorrow has finished. The text is very particular to give us the exact time of the vision. It was in the thirtieth year and in the fourth month and in the fifth day of the month. So you have had visions of earth you shall never forget. You reâ€" member the year, you remember the month. you remember the day, you remember the hour. Why may we not lave some vision now and it be in the .wolfth month and in the thirteenth lay of the month. The. duestion is often silently asked. :hough perhaps never audibly pro- pounded, "What are our departed Christian friends doing now’l'l The question is more easily answered. than you might. perhaps suppose. Though there has come no recent intelligence from the heavenly city and we seem dependent upon the story of 18 cen- turies ago. still I think we may from strongmt inference decide what are the present occupations of our trans- ferred kinsfolk. After God has made a naturc He never eraik‘ates the chief charachrktic ofits temperament. You nemr 1..» 2'3. mun phlegmatic in tem- perament to become sanguine in tem- peram:‘.-.t.

You are to subtract from thcm all earthly gross’xess and add all earthâ€" ly goodness. and tbun you are. to come. to the conclusrcn that they are doing now in heaven what in thi-ir best moment they did on earth. The rea- son why so_many people never start for heaven is because they could not stand it if they got Lhel‘e if it should turn out to be the rigid and formal place some people photograph it. “"9. aka to come to church. but we would not want to stay here till next sum- mer.

It might be on some great occasion it would be possdilv comfortable to wears. crown of gold wei hing sev- eral pounds, but it would )e an afflic~ iron to wear sucha crown forever. In other words. we run the description if heaven mto'the ground while we make that which was intended as es- lal and celebatilvc to be the exclu- vs employment In heaven. You might as well, If. asked to describe the habits of American society. describe I. Decoration day or a Fourth of July. or an autumnal Thanksgiving. as though it were all the time that way. I am not goxng to speculate in regard to the future wor‘. .. but I must, by lnevrtahe laws of inference and de- fluction Ind common sense. conclude that In heaven we will be just as dif- ferent from each other as we are now different, and hence that there willbe at .cast as many different employ- ments in the celestial world as there Bro cmp.oyments here. Christ is to be the great love. the great joy, the great gapturc. the great worship of heaven. ut will that abolish employment? Ngmore than love on earthâ€"paternal, lmalu fraternaln conjugal loveâ€"abolishes earth occupation. In t first place. I those of our de arted Christian friends who on earth ound great joy in the fine arts are nowmdulgmg their tastes In tho same direction. On earth they had their gladdest pleasures amid pic- tures and statuary and in the study of the .laws of light and shade and Espectxve. Have you any idea that t affluence of faculty at death col- lapsed_and perished? Vhy so, when there is more for them to look at and they .have keener appreciation of the beautiful and they stand amid the very looms where the sunsets and the rainbows and the spring.- mornings are woven?

Do not say. “Iam sosorry they had to leave all these things. Rather say. "I am glad they have 8039 up to higher artistic opportunity and appreciation." Our friends who found so much joy in the fine arts on earth are now luxuriating in Louvres and Luxembourgs celestial. I remark again that all our departed Christian friends who in this _wor.d “'9‘“? passionately fond of musw are still re aling that taste in the world celestia . The Bible _ about the music of heaven that it can- not all be figurative. \Vhy all this ialk about halleluiahs and chairs on the glass and trumpets and harps aud} Friends," oratorios and organs? The Bible over and over again speaks of the songs of heaven. If heaven had no songs 0f own. a. vast number of those on earth would have been taken up by the earthly emigrants. Surely the IChrlS- tian at death does not lose his me- I mory. Then there must be millions ofl souls in heaven who know "Corona.- tion." and "Antioch" and "Mount PIS- gah." and "Old Hundred." The leader of the eternal orchestra need only once tap his baton. and all heaven W111 be ready for the halleluiab.

UANADA’S BEEF IS BEST. WHAT AN ENGLISHMAN HAS TO'olf SAY ON THE SUBJECT. Call It by Its Own Home and It Will Sell â€"-’l‘he Dominion In Popular In the Old [landâ€"llow to Develop Ibo Trade. Mr. R. A. Lister, of Dursley, England. who was in Ottawa. lately. is endeavour- ing to extend Canada’s trade with Eng- land. Mr. Lister is a member of the Gloucestershire County Council other public bodies in England, and is the largest manufacturer of dairy machinery in the world. OUR BEEF THE BEST. “Canadian beef." he says, "is the very best. but at present too large a percentage of the profits goes into the pockets of the wholesale and retail dealers. They bought it. for 8 and 10 cents per pound and sell it for 18 and ‘20. I want. to see Canadian beef take} its proper place, which it can only do when sold as what it is. At present. it is sold as best. Scotch and English beef. 'The best way to attain my object is for the Canadian Government. or some company under their auspices, to es tablish stores in the great English centres under the name of Canadian Meat Stores, where nothing else will be sold. The meat must be slaughter- ed in Montreal, properly graded by an expert Government inspector. shipped in cloths in cold storage, and kept in cold storage, only being taken out for immediate cutting up and sale. By this means the producers would obtain a larger percentage of the profits." Mr. Lister does not approve of the present mode of shipping live animals, and slaughtering them on arrival, as it injures the meat. CANADIAN BUTTER Speaking at the butter trade. Mr. Lister says: "The same modus operandi will in time have to be adopted in the butter trade, but at present that is not ripe. being yet in its infancy. What. is needed to make Canadian but- ter able to compete with the best Danish or Brittany butter is that the cream should be scalded immediately after separation. The cream should be scalded at a heat of 155 or 165 degrees Fahrenheit. and then immediately cooled down b means of ice water to 11:). degrees. ’1‘ is method of pasteur- lzing or scalding is carried out in Den- mark. It not only removes any taint the milk may have received from bad smells in stables. or from being out of condition when reaching the cream- erynbut it gives the butter that wax consxstency so desirable in Englan . There IS an unimited field for Canad- ian butter in Engiand. At present Canada only Sends one-fifth the amount of butter that is sent by Den- mark. To equal Denmark Canada will have to cstabiish fully 2,000 more crea- merics and increase 11w number of her cows proportionatoly. "In Canada there is ample means of extending the trade. Land is cheap for grazing and growing fodder. whilst. in Denmark the land is under heavy rental in the way of mortgage." PORK AND BACON. Mr. Lister pointed out that the in- crease of the butter trade would be speedily followed by a large trade in park and bacon which would give the. farmerquick return for his outlay, as the pigs must not be over six months old, and as very mild curing 1s required. the bacon would only rc- qulre a. sh rt time in the smoke-houses and curing tubs. This would give the farmers a profitable mode of using up the skim mi.k, which. mixed with bar- ’mymcal makes the best food for pro- ducing good bacon. T0 RESTORE GRAPE. Black crape may be freshoned and made to look almost equal to new if treated in the following way: Lay over the ironing table a piece of black cam- bric or cloth of any kind. and pin the piece of crape smoothly through to the blanket, stretching it out to its ori- ginal s.ze. .Wrmg another piece of black cambric out of water. and lay it over the craps; patting it down pith the_palm of the hand. Now take but flatirons and pass them over the wet cloth, but allowing no pressure to come upon the crape. When the cloth has become dry from the heat of the iron remove it. but let the crape re- main pznned down until all the mois- ture has evaporated and ii; is perfect- ly dry. The crape will now feel and look like new. A long veil can be re- novated in this way, making sure that the part. redressed comes under the edge of the wet cloth. EUGENIE'S FORTUNE. Fix-Empress Eugenie. of France, re- cently sold some jewels, and a notice ‘ran through the papers that she was {in straitencd financial circumstances. She will not starve. however. Napol- com the Third left a. tidy little “nest-egg. His “savings" amounted to over one hundred millions of dollars. invested in American. Russ’an. Prussran and Eng lish bonds, American railroad and Suez Canal shares. Not a. cent of his for- tune was invested in French securities. The jewels which the ex-Empress sold were so gorgeous that only _royalty can wear them without appearing over-og- tcntatious. and the $400,000 which the jeweler paid for them has been added to the rest of the interest-bearing WYr and i Wilma i.

A Wldc Extent of Territory Atomâ€"No lecc lost-A Cathedral Ibo-aged to Some Extentâ€"A Woman Dies of Fright. Great Britain is in the throes of a genuine and unprecedented sensation. An earthquake, the most violent ever experienced in that country, has shak- on every shire from Durham to Sur- rey, and from London to the VVels-h coast. The subterrancous disturbance was first noticed at 5.30 on Thursday morning. It lasted from four to thirty seconds, and at many points two distinct shocks were experienced. The most severe shocks were felt at Cheltâ€" enham, Ledbury and Dean Forest. The earth shaking was accompanied by a. loud rushing sound. Buildings were violently shaken, furniture was shift- ed, doors were thrown open, and pio- tures and other ornaments were upat. The inhabitants were panic-strickemand fled from their houses in terror: The earthquake also was felt at Birming- ham and various points in Shropshire and was violent in “'orccctcr and the country surrounding that city. Houses rocked and furniture was overturned. I The shocks were followed by a tram or of the earth, and were accompani- ed by A RUMBLLNG SOUND. ‘At some points persons on the coun- try roads, who were going to work. were thrown down, and a number of people were thrown out of their beds. Hereford cathedral was injured by the severe shock felt at that place. There the duLIl rumbling beneath the carth'l surface was followed by two terrific crashes, and a. terrible lifting and rocking. The panic at Hereford wan so_ great that one woman died of fright. People rushed wildly into the streets. Many chimneys fell. crashing into the thoroughfares. and all the pynnadles of St. Nicholas' church top- pued over, and part of the pinnacle of the caubedrab fell to the ground. At Liverpool the earthquake was preceded by heavy thunder, andofcu'd full: hailstorm. In London, the earthquake was only sla htly felt. A singular phenomenon too place at Bridgenornhi. near Shrew- bury, previous to the disturbance. The I streets suddenly seemed to be on fire. ,and_ there wasavident report. accom- ‘panled by earth shaking.- People who were goingtotheir work in that vicini- ty say they were for atime unable to walk owing to the vibration. There was yer-y great excitement am the ‘rustxcs about Poole. who thought that Ithe end of the world had come. Houses shook for nearly a minute at lBl'lStol and Clyde, causing much alarm [at those places The railroad employcs [at Crewe report they felt the trains oc- cillate, and at Evesham the earthquake [shock was followed by i A BRILLIANT LIGHT .in the sky. 5 Us) to Tuesday. the weather in Eng: Han was unusually mild. but on Tues- ,day there was a sudden change to se- ivere frost, which was followed by ense fogs and snow on \Vednesda .: !

The rl of “'arwick was awakened. and ,felt his bed lifted as though by some 'force beneath it. and the furniture of his room was shifted. The inhabitants of Slough were awakened by a shock'so severe that they thought the Middlcsex powdcr Ifactory had exploded. A large area. of ground sunk near i Stockport. and at Melton-Mowbray the noise which accom nicd the earthquake shock resembled a dis- charge of gun-cotton under water.
