Dr. Talmage Ipreached from the following text :--"There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life.”-â€"Joshua i. 5. Moses was dead. A beautiful tradi- tion says that God kissed him, and in that act drew forth the soul of the dying lawgiver. He has been buried, only one person at his funeral; the same one who kissed him. But God never removes a man until he has some one ready to take his place. God does not go around seeking among a great variety of candidates some one to take a vacant pasition; he just makes a man to fit that particular place. Moses had passed off the stage. Joshua, the hero of the text leomes out to take “his place, and puts his foot so solidly on the platform of history that all ages near the echo of his tread. He was a magnificent fighter, and he always fought on the Iright side. He never fought for perâ€" sonal aggrandixement, and never (ought unless the Lord told him to do so. §fANDs BY HIS PEOPLE. His first undertaking was to cross the river Jordan in a spring freshet. At certain seasons in the year, and at certain points, that river could be easily forded, and the water would only come to the knee or to the girâ€" die; but at this season of which I am speaking, the snow of Mount Leban- on had melted, and they were pouring down into the valley, and the valley‘ had become one raging flood. The Canaanites on the other side felt per- tectly secure. They looked across the river and saw the Israelites, and they said: ”Aha! you can’t get at usâ€"we are safe anyhow until this spring treshet falls.” But one day Joshua orders out his troops and tells them 'to fall into line. "FOR‘VARD MARCH 1" cries Joshua to his. tr00ps. ll‘hey pass on toward the river. and it seems as it the light-armed troops and the spearrnan and the archers and all their leaders must be swept down in the fearful flood. They reach the bank and they pull themselves up its steep thirty or forty feet in heightâ€"they pull themselves up the bank by the Oleanders and the tamarisks and the willows until they reach the top. No sooner have they climbed up this high bank than with dash and roar and terrific rush the waters of the Jordan break loose from their strange anv chorage. 3Why did not those waters stay parted until Joshua and his troops could find out whether they could cope with their enemies or not? I hear one of the unbelieving Israel- ites say: “Lord, why didst thou not keep those billows parted BO that if we wanted to retreat we could go back dry shod, just as when we advanced? We are engaged in a very risky ex- periment. How it these Canaanites eat us all up ’9’" eat us all up ?" Ah! my hearer, God never makes1 any provision for the Christian’s re- treat. He clears the path to Canaan, it we go ahead ; if we go back, we die. It is dry shod on a path of broken shell and pebbles in one direction. It is water forty feet deep in the rear. The same gate-keeper that swung back the crystal and amethystine door of Jordan to let you pass, hath bolted and barred the crystal and am- ethystine of the Jordan to keep you from going back. I declare it to-day; Victory ahead. Daxwkness flood, ruin and death behind. But we cannot stop here. It is no place for Joshua’s troops to stay. What is that in the distance? At the end of a grove of palms eight miles long. is the chief city. THAT IS J BRICIIO the great metropolis. Take it Joshua must. “Take it Joshua can‘t,” say the unbelievers. This campaign is planned by the Lord Almighty. There are to be no swords, no shields, no battering rams. There is to be only one weapon, and that is to bee ram’s horn. Now the command is, that seven of the priests should take those rude musical instruments, and for six days they should go around the walls of Jericho once a day, and then on the seventh day. they should go around seven times blowing this curiâ€" ous, rustic. musical instrument, and the peroration of the whole scene is to be a great shout under which that wall from base to capstone is to tumble. Around the walls of Jericho the priests go once, and a failure. Not so much as a piece of mortar or plaster drops from the wall; not sol much as a crevice opens. not so much: as a rock gets loose. Around the city the second day. and a failure; the third day and a failure; the tourth day, and a failure; around the fifth day. and a failure; around the sixth day, and a tailure. Joshua’s stock was down. But the seventh day came-the climacteric day. At last, the hour has arrived. The priests with these rude musical instruments )r. Titimge Says God Always ‘ .Ffiifills His Promise. go ali around the city of Jericho once and a failure. Around the city twice, three times,.four times, and a failure. Around the city five times, six times, seven times, and a failure. There is only one more thing to be done, and that is to give a great shout. Joshua rises up to his full stature and he gives the command. He feels the right moment has come, and he says; “Shout for the Lord hath given you the city,” and the command is heard, .and the people all together cry; “Down, Jericho! down, Jericho”! And |that long line of solid masonry be- gins to quiver, and then crash go the U walls, the temples, the palaces, until the earth quakes and the Heavens are blackened with the dust. and the shriek of the crushed city and the huzza of the victorious Israelites com- zningle. People cross the ocean to see a ruin. You need not go far. Stand :1 min- ute and look at. the ruins of this city Jericho. There is one house that did not fall. I wonder that one house stood while all the rest of the city fell. 4â€"...“ -vv-v RAIIAB LIVED THERE. She had been noted for her crimes. Yet she was saved. Because she had, been a great sinner? No, because she‘ had repented, and to prove to all the ages that there is mercy for the chief of sinners. All the other houses went down but Rahab’s house; that stood. She repented. She trusted in God. She was saved. Mercy for‘the chief of sinners. ‘ This is no place to stop, Joshua cries; “Forward. march!” There isi the city of Al to be taken. They got? up in front of the city when the men { of Ai came out! and gave one yell, and an ay ran the Israelites like reindeer. ‘ I see Joshua coming out that day of his encampment, and .he looks up and sees the people running. and he puts his hand to his forehead, and he says; “Why, I really believe those are our men. They are running in retreat.” And soon the retreating army come up. They say: "0, General, we are all cut to pieces. These men of Ai are awful people. We are all cut to pieces.” Joshua falls down on his face in chagrin. But how did God arouse Joshua? Did he address him in some complimentary apostmphe? No, he says: "Get thee up. Why liest thou thus on1 thy face ?” Joshua arose, I suppose looking mortified; but his old courage came back again. He marshals all the Israelites, and he says: "We will go up en masse, and we will take the city of Ai.” He v takes most’of his army and he hides c it in the night‘ *behind .a ledge of n rocks. In the morning he marches 0 up a small battalion; of tr00psin.v front of the city as by stratagem. i.‘ The men otf Ai say: “Ah! we will I conquer these men very soon,” and I battalion, and the Israelites, as 1 though they .were frightened, i fall 'back into the strataâ€" <' gem. No sooner are all the e people of the city started in ( pursuit of that battalion, that Joshua , i stands on a rock, and I see his hair! flying in the wind as he stretches out his spear toward the doomed city, and all the armed, men behind the rocks rush for the city and they and no sooner is it on fire than those Israelites in the city start doWn, pur- lsuing the men of Ai, and the ilsraelites coming out of the city on i one side, and the battalion that had ‘ fallen back suddenly, coming up from the other side, between those two waves of Israelitishi courage, THE VICTORY \VAS’ GAINED. Joshua’s troops cannot stop yet. "Forward, 'marchl” says Joshua, for there is the city of Gibson; it has put itself under the wings of Joshua’s protec- tion, and Joshua must defend it, and the people send word from this city to Joshua: "Come right. away; there are five kings going to destroy us. Come right away." Joshua makes a three days’ march in one night. The ‘ conflict opens with great slaughter. ’ 'Ihe Canaanites look up and they ‘say; “Ah! it is Joshuag it is Joshua who 1 conquered the spring freshet, and ' the stone wall, and ,who took the city ' 0! Ai. There's no“ use; he’s aterri- ’ ble man; there’s no use ;” and they ’ sounded a retreat. "Oh,” says? Joshua,- "this is a victory! But it is I“ getting towards sundown and those 0 miserable Canaanites are going to D get away from me, and they will V hesiege us, and perhaps attempt to B destroy us. Oh foraday twice as long h as any we have ever seen inthis clim- b ate.”-.tht is the matter with Joshua! h Has he fallen in an apoyleetie (it! I! No, he is in prayer. . y Joshua rises, his face radiant with t, prayer, and he looks at the descend- 1' in: run over the. hills of Gibeon, and I he looks at the faint crescent of the moon, and in the name ot‘the Lord, who spake the world into being. he litts one hand and says: “Sun, stand thou still over Gibson,” and pointing the other hand to the moon, he says: “And that: moon stand still over the valley of Ajalon." And‘ for twelve hours the planetary system halted. It is not yet quite sundown in Joshua’s day. and we’ will have time for five royal funerals. \ere are those five kings that Joshua took and. whose armies he destroyed? They are there in that caveâ€"the cave of Makkedah, hiding. Joshua has roll- ed. a stone against it and they can- not get out. But before night, be- fore this very sun which I am speak- ing about goes down, these five kings are brought out, and according to the ancient custom, the major generals .of Joshua now come up, and they put their foot on the neck of THE TERRIBLE OLD KINGS, and they are beheaded, and their bodies are put back into the same cave and. the same stone is rolled against it again. Now, it is time for Joshua to go! home. He is'an. old man. He is a" hundred and ten. Now give J03. hua, the oldest warrior of the ages, a. chance to rest. No! The greatest, bottle of all his lifetime opens. He comes out now against the greatest king on earth, a king who has more subjects than all the present popu- lation of the earth. It is the king} of Terrors, the conqueror of thous- ands of years. Now, Joshua, you this is Joshua’s greatest battle it is Joshua’s greatest victory. He gathers his friends around him and he gives his valedictory. He is a hundred and ten years old. Touch him very gently. Stretch out those old feet that once walked the dry path of the parted Jordan. Close those lipr which blew the blast that dropped the walls of Jericho. Fold that arm that stretched out the spear, against the doomed city of Ai. 'Fold it across the heart that exult- [ed when the five kings tell. But ‘where shall we get the burnished ‘granite fit to be the headstone and ‘thc footstone of this greatest of warriors? tOh. I bethink myself now. I imagine at his head it shall ; be the sun that stood. still above Gib- eon, and at the tool: it shall be the , moon that stood still over the valley lot Ajalon. I’Illlplene Women Smoke (‘Ignrs Slxtccn Inches long and Five Inches In ("cum tel-cure. A curious tact noticeable in the Philippines is that the women smoke enormous cigars, while the men smoke only cigarettes. These cigars are1 sixteen inches long, and five inches in? circumference, and constitute one week's pleasure for the ladies. The weight of such a cigar is meeSsarily considerable. and to offset this a mouthpiece consisting of a soft fibre of tobacco is made at one end, so that when firmly grasped. in the teeth an indentation is made which for the re- mainder of the six days smoke, (it: naturally to the teeth. The women smoko one hour each any. new; cauc- ful to extinguish the fire when tin- fished.- Th: younger girls and chil- dren smoke smaller sizes, even a sev- en-year-old. affecting a roll of tobac- co the size of the average cigar used in this country. £16m AS A CURE. fiuvw.vâ€"â€" in certain diseases light exercises a specific curative action.

"I am beginning to think that cold water in more beneficial than drugs.” a. friend said to me recently. “When I am sleepless. as I frequently am. I wet a cloth with cold water and hold it alternately at the back of my neck. the pit at my stomach. on my wrists, and across my forehead. This low- ers my temperature and. leaves me so refreshed that I am usually sure of falling asleep very soon after the apâ€" plication. "For constipation, I know of no better remedy than a couple of glass- es of cold water taken upon retiring and also the first thing in the morn- “Rhcunutlsm also is sald to flee from a persistent deluging of the system with this. simple fluid. A gal- Ion of water should be taken daily. two quarts in the morning, before breakfast, and the other two between meals during the day. Of course this quantity cannot be taken at first, but must be attained to gradu- ally. Neither must it be bolted down as one gulps a glass of soda, but taken slowly, with intergals at rest. “A chronic case came to my noticc' recently. The lady had been afflict-| ed for a number of years, her finger joints were crooked and swollen, and she had been a great sufferer. Her: physician prescribed a gallon of wa-i ter daily. She explicitly followed the directions given her. until now she. tells me she has been entirely free from pain for several years. and her fingers have attained nearly their ori- ginal shape. Another patient was cured of a very severe attack of rheu- matism in four weeks, by simply drinking cold water, and carefully regulating her diet, which consisted ‘ mostly in abstaining from Sweets, and red blooded meat, beef in particular." Rheumatism. constipation and sleep4 lessnea‘s are three formidable foes. If nature's beverage can successfully grapple with them. is it not well to avoid drugs, and to cleanse the Sys- tem with pure water, free to all. and unfailing in its supply! An excellent gargle for sore throat is listerine and. water. in the proâ€" portion of one-third. listerine to two- thirds water. It is very pleasmt to the taste, purities the breath, and is n good disinfectant. Often ntrou- blcsome irritation will attack the throat, caused sometimes by a de- ranged stomach, often the forerun- ner of a serious cold. This listerine gargle, it taken in season, will pre- vent the cold from matcrializing to any great extent. It is an antiseptic which is largely used by the medical fraternity. Broiled Hamâ€"Prepare the ham as for trying, but out tho slices thin- ner. Remove most of the fat. The fire must be clear or the ham will have a smoky flavor.

Found the ham, fat and lean, in a mortar to a fine paste, gradually adding 1-2 teaspoon pounded mace, 1-2 teaspoon cayenne, and a little all- spice. Be particular to mix the in- gredients well. Press the mixture into tiny jars, filling within an inch of the tap. and pour over the ham enough clarified butter to fill the space. "Now imagine how great and joyous was my surprise to find that just the tone box cured _me so that the lump! 5disappeared and also the external iswelling. I feel like a different man ito-day, and have not the least doubt gthat Dr. Chase's Ointment saved me fifrom a very dangerous and painful 3 operation and many years of suffering. “It is with the greatest pleasure and i with a thankful heart that I give this ; testimonial. knowing that Dr. Chase's gOintment has drne so much for me. :You are at perfect liberty to use this ;testimonial as you see fit for the ‘benefit of others similarly afflicted.” i Dr. Chase’s' Ointment has been en- : dorsed by more people. including deep {tors and professional men, than any To Devil Hamâ€"Cut up tried ham in' small pieces. not larger than peas, and add tomato catsup, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce and a small quantity of flour, then beat to boil- ing.

Ila-eat Experiments Show Possibility of fipmductlon or life Without lam-eg- Dr. Jacques Loch. of the University of Chicago, is attracting much st- tention in the sci( utiiie worii by his experiments in artificial reproduction of life. In the first report of his in- vestigations he showed that by a chemical process rcpro “action without impregnation might occur in the can of sea-urchins. Later investigations show that the‘ possibility of artificial reproductionl is not confined to the sea-urchins. 1 Star fishes and some higher forms of life have provcl susceptible to exter-' nal generative influences. These ex- periments are extremely interesting and seem to bring science to the very portals of the secret of existence. Th: possibility of artificial production and. its extension opens up an enorm- ous field for conjecture and research. in this country.
