On the outside of the pilacc, to see the Waggons go off, stands Pharaoh in royal rob-vs, and beside him prime minister Jos-- ph, with a chain of gold around his neck. and on his hand a ring, given by Pharaoh to him, so that any time he wanted to stamp the royal seal up- The Egyptian capital was the focus of the world s* wealth, in ships and barges there had been brought to it from India trankincense, and cin- namon, and ivory, and diamonds; from the north marble and iron; from Syria purple and sillr; from Greece some of tho finest horses of the world, and some or the most brilliant chariots; and from all the earth that which could btst please the eye, and charm the ear, and gratify the taste. There were temples aflame with red sand- stone, entered by gateways that were 'guai'ded by pillars bewildering with hieroglyphics, and wound with brazen scrpents, and adorned with winged ciustures, their eyes and beaks, and onions glittering w ith precious stones. lhere were marble columns bloom- ing into white flower-buds; there were stone pillars, the top bursting into the shape of the lotus when in full bloom, along- the avenues lined with sphinx, sud fane, and obelisk; there" were princes who came in gor- geously. upholstered palauquins, car- ried by senants in scarlet, or else were driven in vehicles, the snow- white horses golden bitted, six breast, ‘ dashing at full-run; there were toun-i tans from stone-wreathed vases climbing the laJder’ of the sun.

Does not the subject at the morn-- ing take the gloom out of the thoughts that would otherwise be struck through with midnight. We used to think that whenlg we died we would have to go afoot, sagging down in the mire. and the bounds of terror might get after n.3, and that if we gut through into heaven at all, we would come in. torn and wounded and bleeding. I remember when my teeth shattered and my knees kneclb ed together when Iheard anybody talk about death; but I have come to think that the grave .will be the softest bed .auve ever slept in, end that tbv uattom of mycteet will not be wet with! the; passage of the Jordan. “Then that sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.” I was readinc a day or two ago Robert Southey, who said he could due hr sway tron his triadsâ€"11h n (log. iln‘g out of the, woods, wad. over the brook, and through the lane, and up in the front of the old farmhouse; and then we would rush out, leaving the doors wide open, with many things to tell them. asking them many questions. Well, my dear brethren, 1 think we are many/(xi us in the King's waggons, and we are on the way home. The road as very bad, and we get. on slowly; but after awhile We come winding out of the woods, and through the brook of death, and up in Jron‘tg of the old heavenly homestead; and our depart- ed kindred who have been waiting for us will rush out thz'uugln the doors, and over the lawn, crying; "The waggon-s are coming! the King’s waggcms are coming!” Hark! the bell of the city hall strikes twelve. Twelve o’clock on earth; and likewise it is In my boyhood, for some time, we Lived three miles from church, and on stormy days the oh'tldren stayed at home, but [other and mother always went to ohurch. That was a habit they had. Oh those stormy Sabbaths when we stayed at home, the absence of our parents seemed very much pro- tracted, for the roads were very bud, and they could not get on, very fast, So we would go to the window at twelve o’clock to see 'u' they were coming; ‘ztnd then we would go- at halt-past 1welve to see if. they, were coming; and at a quarter to one; and then at 'one o‘clock.

How long 18 it since Joseph went out at your household? How many years It it, now, last Christ- mas, or the fourteenth of next month? It was a dark night when he died, and a stormy day it was at the burial; and the clouds wept with you, and the Winds sxghed tor the dead. Oh, the joy of meeting our brother Joseph Jesus. Aiter we have talk- ed about Him {or ten, or fifty -or seventy years, to talk with Him! and to clasp hand: with. the Hero of the ages, not crouching as underlin‘gs in His presence, buc as Jacob and Joac-ph hug each other.” We wiii want some new term by'which to udd.ess 11.111. 011 earth we cail Him Sakur, or Be- deemer, or Friend; but when we throw our arms around Him in ever- lasting embrace we will want some new term 01' endeai'mcut. I think that the King’s waggons will take us up to see our lost friends. Jacob's chief anticipation was not of seeing the Nile, or of seeing the’long colonnade of architectural beauty, or of seeing the throne-room. There was a focus to all his journeyingsâ€"to all his antimpationsâ€"and that was Joseph. lf Jesus were not in heaven there would he no music there; there would be very, few people there; they would be off looking for the lost Christ, crying through the universe: “Where is Jesus? Where .is Jesus l” I remark, again, that, like those that came from the Egyptian palace. the King’s waggons bring us good news. Jacob had not heard from his boy for a great many years. He never thought of him but with a heart-ache. There was in°Jacob’s heart a room where laid the corpse of his unburied Joseph; and when the waggons cameâ€"the king's waggons -and told him that Joseph was yet alive, he faints dead away.

HORS E PO\VER. When one speaks of a one horse power steam engine it is meant that the engine will raise 10 tonsper min- ute through a height of 12 inches. This in twelve time. as much an e man could do. - All occupations, except agriculture and military servire, are distasteful to him. Yet there are two other characteristics even more important than these. The first is his sense of discipline. It is this which keeps to- gether the apparently tottering fab- ric ot’ the Turkish empire. It makes the half-fed, halt-clothed soldier ready to endure chry privation, and prevents the corruption and incapa- city of the officers from producing the anarchy which would be inevitable in any other country. Sedition is unknown; even complaints are raw, and were a holy war proclaimed Ih to is not a man who would not be pre- pared to die in defense of the system of extortion which grinds him down. His second characteristic is his laxi- nogss, in spte of the laborioul indul- try of the Turkish peasant. The fact is that the ’l‘urk is too proud‘ to do many things, too stupid to do others. His religion inculcates a fatalism which tends to a conviction that of- fort is useless. A Turk thinks it the most natural thing in the world to lose a province, and, having lost it. to quit and live elsewhere. He talks quite compla- cently of leaving Constantinople some day ; he wul go over to Asia and round another capital. He originates n01h~ ing; he takes what he finds without assimilating it and remains profound- ly Turkiéh. He leaves no trace of his occupation except ruins. Practically there is nothing at Belgrade, Sofia, and Athens to show that for con- turies they were ‘i'uzkish cities. I regard this as one of the most con- spicuous instances of wooden-headed stupidity with which our army is gov- erned. Another which deserves to be bracketed With it is the exclusion of men from the army because they hap- pen to have false teeth. If there is to be a new regime worth anything in Pall Mall, these are among the many absurdities which will at once he got rid of. The correspondent _I have just quot- ed states on the authority of Mr. Con- an Doyie’s book that the redoubtable De Wet actually goes about in blue spectacles, owing to some eye trou- ble.

How many of the British officers whose sight was scientifically tested before; they received their commissions cani see as far as the blue-spectacled De Wet! lie Sum“ All Imam-1..- Ihu .Vllllucry Service and Agrlvunurv. A few years ago at some foreign maneuvers I spent an afternoon on the outpost line with an officer of a crack British regiment. Pointing to some fields about 1,000 yards away. he said: " There are some cavalry among the trees. I wonder whether they are scouts from the other side." Ipoint- ed out to him that the ‘supposed cav- alry' were really cattle. Although shortnsighted, I have good sight even for long distances, thanks to a pro- perly-selected pair of pince-nex spec- itacles. My officer friend used his field-glass and admitted his mistake. adding, “I am short-sighted. It is a great nuisance. One cannot always be using field glasses.” I suggested that he might use spectacles as I did. “I would gladly,” he replied, “ but there is such a prejudice against them in the service." Just imagine this cav- alry officer sent out scouting, and go- ing about his work half blind because of the prejudice against speetacled of- ficers! I could name men on active service in Africa at the present mo- ment who are very short-sighted, but; dare not wear glasses. Some oi" them wear single eyeglasses, to the great damage of what eight they stillhave. Yet last year in Germany at the im- perial maneuvers I saw plenty of of- ficers in spectacles, and a good many privates as well. crawling into noorner and dying an- observed. those were his words.

The following interesting anecdote on spectacles in the army is told by a correspondent of London Truth: SPECTACLES FOR SOLDIERS. THE UNSI’EAKABLE TURK. ADVAN TAG-EB OF TOBACCO. The lancet is outspoken upon the subject of tobacco’s advantages in campaigning. "The war in South Af- rica,” it says, “has taught many things of grtater and of less importance. Perhaps nothing that it has demon- strated has been more marked than the important part .which tobacco plays in the soldier's existence. Wheth- en this is to be reckoned as a great fact or a small one, there can be no doubt about the truth of it. Yet the Duke of Wellington‘s armies had no tobaccd worth speaking of. If they did not forbid its use. at any rate. the Iron Duke’s officers were directed to advise their men strongly against it. |What a curious contrast with the campaigning in South Africa, where marches and privations as long and as sure as any suffered by our great- grandfathers were borne by the volun- teers and soldiers of to-day with a grumble only when their 'smokes’ fail- ed them. We have it from many who took part in the forced marches lead- ing to Psurdeberg, to Bloemfontein, toPretoria and beyond, that when , rations Were but two or three biscuits 2a day the only real physical content of each twenty-four hours came with the pipe smoked by the smouldering iembers of a campfire.

'An interesting change has taken place within a few years in the pre- vailing opinion among English medical gmen with regard to the use of tobacco. 'Th: th.-.ory tha- moderate smoking is a vice and always deleterious long.ago disappeared from the medical profes- sion in England. There followed a period when the prevailing view of. English physic.ans was that the phy- sical and mental satisfaction which smokers derive from pipe, cigar or cigarette practically offset the dangers of nicotine. This Opinion has in turn been modified until now the arerage English doctor thoroughly approves the use of tobacco as not only harmless, but wholesome in counteracting some of the tendencies of high-pressure modern life. This attitude at the medical proteasion may have something to do with enormous imrtase in the per capita consumption iof tobacco in bngland during recent ytars, but the true eXplanation will be tound in the amazing spread of the cigarette habit among Women.
