that house are concerned the home has departed. Armed diseases came down upon the quietness of the scene—scarlet fevera 02 pleurisies or consumptions or undefined disorders came and seized upon some mera bors of that family and carried them away. Ziklag in ashes! And you go about, some times weeping and sometimes enraged, wanting to got back your loved ones as much as David and his men wanted to re construct their despoiled households. Zik lag in ashes! Some of you went oi'f from homo You counted the days of your ab sence. Every day seemed as long as a Treok. Oh, how glad you were when the time came for you to go aboard the steam boat or rail car and start for home! You arrived. You went tip the street where your dwelling was, and in the night you put your hand on the doorbell, and, be hold! it was wrapped with the signal of bereavement, and you found that Ainale kitish death, which has devastated a thou sand other households, had blasted yours. You go about weeping amid the desola tion of your once happy home, thinking of the bright eyes closed, and the noble hearts stopped, and the gentle hands folded, and you weep until you have no more power to weep. Ziklag in ashes! A gentleman went to a friend of mine in the city of Washington and asked that through him ho might get a consulship to some foreign port. My friend said to him, ''What do you want to go away from youi beautiful homo for into a foreign port?" "Oh," he replied, "my home is gonol My six children are dead. I must get away, sir. I can't stand it in this country any longer." Ziklag in ashes! Ashes of Life. Why these long shadows of bereavement across this audience? Why is it that in al most every assemblage black is the pre dominant color of tho apparel? Is it be cause you do not like saffron or brown or violet? Oh, no! You say, "The world is not so bright to us as onco it was, "and there is a story of silent voices and of still feet and of loved ones gone, and when you look over tho hills, expecting only beauty and loveliness, you find only devastation and woe. Ziklag in ashes! One day in Ulster county, N. V., the village church was decorated until the fragrance of tho flowers was almost bewil dering. The maidens of tho village had emptied the place of flowers upon one mar riage altar. One of their own number was affianced to a minister of Christ, who had come to take her to his own home. With hands joined, amid a congratulatory au dience, tho vows were taken. In three days from that time one of those who stood at tho altar exchanged earth for heaven. The wedding march broke down into tho funeral dirge. There were not enough flowers now for the coffin lid, because they had all been taken for the bridal hour. The dead minister of Christ is brought to another village. He had gone out from them less than a week before in his strength; now he comes home lifeless. The whole church bewailed him. The solemn procession moved around to look upon the still face that once had beamed the messages of salvation. Littlo children were lifted up to look at him. And some of those whom he had comforted in days of sorrow, when they passed that silent form, made the placo dreadful with their weeping. Another village emptied of its flowers —some of them put in the shapo of a cross to symbolize his hope, others put in the shape of a crown to symbolize his triumph. A hundred lights blown out in one strong gust from the open door of a eepulcher. Ziklag in ashes! A Bally Cry, I preach this sermon today because I want to rally you as David rallied his men, for the recovery of the loved and the lost. I want not only to win heaven, but I want all this congregation to go along with me. I feel that somehow I have a responsibility in your arriving at that great pity. 'Do you really want to join the companionship of your loved ones who have gone? Aro you as anxious to join them as David and his men were to join their families? Then I am here, in tho name of God, to say that you may and to tell you how. I remark, in the first place, if you want to join your loved ones in glory, you must travel the same way they went. No sooner had tho half dead Egyptian been resusci tated than he pointed the way the captors and the captives had gone, and David and his men followed after. -Bo our Christian friends have gone into another country, and if we want to reach their companion ship we must take the same road. They repented; we must repent. They prayed; We must pray. They trusted is Christ; we must trust in Christ. They lived a reli gious life; wo ipusfc Jive a religious life. They were in some things liko ourselves. I know, now that they are gone, there is a halo around their names, but they had their faults. They said and did things they ought never to have said or done. They were sometimes rebellious, some times cast town. They wero far from be ing perfect. So I suppose that when wo have gone some things in us that aro now only tolerable may be almost resplendent. But as they wcro like us in deficiencies wo ought to be liko them in taking a supernal Christ to make up for the deficits. Had it not been for Jesua they would have all per ished, but Christ confronted them and said, "I am the way," and they took it. I have., also to say to you that the path that theso captives trod was a troubled path, and that David and his rncn had to go over the same difficult way. Whilo these captives wero being taken off they said, "Oh, wo are so tired; we aro so sick; we are so hungry!" But tho men who had charge of them said: "Stop this crying. Go on!" David and his men also found it a hard way. They had to travel it. Our friends have gone into glory, and it is through much tribulation that we aro to enter into tho kingdom. How our loved ones used to have to struggle! How their old hearts ached! How sometimes they had I a tussle for bread! In our childhood wo a wondered why there were so many wrin kles on their faces. We did not know that what wero called "crow's feet" on their faces wero the marks of the black raven of trouble. Did you never hear the old people, seated by th'o evening stand, talk over their early trials, their hardships, tho accidents, the burials, the disappoint ments, the empty flour barrel when there wcro so many hungry ones to feed, tho fsickness almost unto death, where the next doso of morphine decided between ghastly bereavement and an unbroken home cir cle? Oh, yes, it was trouble that whitened their hair! It was trouble that shook tho cup in their hands. It was trouble that washed the luster from their eyes with tho rain of tears until they needed spectacles. It was troubio that made tho cane a no ccssity for their journey. Do you never remember seeing your old mother sitting, pn. jsome rainy day, looking out of the win dow, her elbow on tho window sill, her hand to her brpw—looking out, not see ing the falling shower at all —you well knew she was looking into the distant p as t—>tigitil tho apron caiae up to her eyes, because til A»emory was too much for her?

In searching for the cause, siu- I picion fell on the tea they, had used. A sample taken from a one pound tin in use was analysed and found', to contain strong traces of muriatic arid, th» : presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of sa'ts in welding the parts of tin together- The analyst wains consumers that tea packed in small tins, owing to its very absorbent nature, is very liable to become' impregnated with this acid, and therefore dangerous for human consumption, and advises that the very safest package to purchase is that packed in lead wittsi an inside lining of vegetable parchment. This stjie of packet is quite impervious to the air, and tea s» packed has been known to retain all its aroma andi strength for a period of five years."
