“England, Franoc.Gcrmany and Bel-
gium seeie far more cognizant of Abe
rapid growing commerce of Mexico,"
lament*^ the .American Agriculturist,
“than the United Slate*. Our prox-
imity, our reputation for smartness in
trade, yield to the commercial tact of
Europe. Jf we would compete liope-

The cause of the great agricultural
distress in Anstria is aui^puted to the
difficulty of obtaining prompt credit
by the farmers. The rate of intercat
perpetually fluctuates, and ia generally
too high to be met, not Only by small
farmers, but also by those who hold
large lauded estates, asserts the
American Agriculturist. “No farmer
can pay 12 per cent, interest,
and keep a roof over his head."
Fruit from South Africa has been
imported into England in excellent
condition. Peaches were received in
London it few dsys ago which sold at
the fancy price of #20 a dozen. One
\aJoffar and sixty-five cents seems to the
tsan Francisco Chronicle like a big

there are plenty of men in England
who can afford the luxury, even if it
is Irne that half the laborers in that
country who reach the age of aixty

The vocabulary of electricity is daily
being augmented, and now it ia pro.
posed that as tho science of elcctricily
baa no name of ila own it shall bo
called “electrics.” The pair of Wbrda,
“electrics” and electrician would thus
be in analogy with optics and optician,
mechanics and mechanician, mathern-
atica and mathematician and many
othera At present the word electric-
ity performs two functions similar to
ftose which are separated in the case
of light and optics, heat aud ther-
■notica, sound and Aouttics.
Samuel Kimberly, United State#
Conaul General at Gnatemaln, says
the labor question in Guatemala in in
a aerioua condition. The natives do
not care to work, except for their
present needs. They are honest in
one sense, and not in another; they
will not steal, but if limy make a bar-
gain with a man to work a week, and
they can make enough rin throe days
to cover their needs, they will drop
the job. This is one reason why
wages are so low. They do not care
to work a moment longer than is nec-
essary to supply their daily wants.
Marcollus, ihe yoang photographer,
had established himself in an out of
the way corner of the city, aud it was
uot long before be diacovered that he
had made a mistake. In spile of his
alluring placards and his show case
full of specimen portraits, his clients
became more aud more scarce nntil
lulneaa came to aland still, the savings
left him by his mother were all speut
and the photographer was on the point
of being tnrned out by hit landlord.
He had not tasted food for twrnty-
four hours aud so giving himself np
to despair he had resolved to die.
Accordingly, he went down stairs
and info a neighboring shop to buy a
bn»hcl of charcoal on credit. Old
Barbazango, the proprietor of the
place was out, but his daughter came
forward to wait upon the photog-
rapher. Louise was a pretty girl in

The young man obeyed her lu won-
der, and while lie waa preparing the
plate*, Louise whispered toarfnlly:
“Oh, how could you? It was very
wrong.”
“You know then?” he said In amaze-
ment. llut Miraa waa waiting to be
photographed. She waa a fat, shape-
less creature of aeveral different
breeds, bow-legged, bald in spots, and
nearly blind.
Twenty times she posed, full face,
profile, standing, aitting, lying down,
now on her mistress’ lap, now on a
cushion, tiow in the arms of Louise,
until site artist felt hit spirits rising,
aud the look of bopleisnesi left ids
eye*. .
Madame Versepny was at good as
her word, and the very next day many
of Ihe tradespeople of the neighbor-
hood came to tho photographer and
had their pictures taken, and (he wine
merchat having just married ofl his
daughter, brought the whole of tho
bridal party to Marcellut’ studio.
One day the old lady died, and in

father gave his consent, although he
held all artists in contempt, sad the
happy pair adopted Mirza.

now and have a little son. Hie neigh-

richness which is very different from
tbe sweet flavor of a good raisin. Tho
little acid, seedless sultana raisin does
not approach a ourrant in flavor; it
has a crude acid because it is cured
when the grape is in an immature

consequently it has no richness and

clean currants is to rub a cup of flour
into every pouud of currants.
The flour must bo rubbed into tho
currants thoroughly to as to separate
the individual currants. The currants
must then be rubbed through a coarse
sieve. This last sifting will carry

From Thy ilpe forever flow.

But now we come moro wholly,
With the heart to love Thee more.

“And ail things, whatsoever ye believe,”
etc. Have we not sometimes been tempted
to think that here, at least, is a case in which
our Lord has not literally aud always kept
bis word? in which we do not get quite so
the promii
much as the plain Kr.glish of tbe promisa
might lead us to expect? It so, well may he
say to us, “Do ye uot therefore err, oecatMM

that every case of seeming failure in the
promise can be accounted for by our own
failure in one or more of these:
(1) “Whatsoever ye shall aak in my
name, that will I do.” Radiy, not verb*
ally only, in the name of J«sui; asking trot
In our own name at all; signing our peti-
tion. as it were,with his name only; coming
to the Father by our Advocate, our Repre-
sentative. To we always ask this?
(2) “Relieving that ye shall receive.” The
faith-heroes of old “torough faith 4 • •

tug them. Is it any wonder that,
wnen we Magger at any promise of ~
through unbelief, we do not receive it'
(8). “If ye abide In me, and my word*
abide in you, ye shall ask what yc will, and
it shall be done unto you.” Ah, here is a
deeper secret of asking and not having, be-
cause we ask amiss. And this leads us to
see the root of our failure in another condi-
tion.
(4) “Whatsoever we ask, we receive of
him. because we keep bis commandments,
and do thoae things that are pleasing In His
sight ” Only ns we are abiding in him can
We bring forth tlie fruit of obedience.
(B) “if wc ask anything according to Ills
will, He beareth us.” When what we ask is
founded on‘n promise or any written evi-
dence of what the will of the lx*rd is, this la
comfortingly dear. Bat what about peti-
tions whicli may or may not be according to
His will? Hurely. then, the condition can
ouly be fulfilled by a complete blending of
our owq will with His.
Two comforting thougtbs ariw: First,
the very consciousness of our failure in
ihese conditions shows us the wonderful
kindness and mercy of ohr King, who
'oas answered so many a prayer in spita
It of according to Ills own ’heart, and
not according to our fulfillment, giving
us of His royal bounty that to which we
had forfeited all shadow of claim;
secondly, that be who kuoweth our
frame knows also the possibilities of His
grace, and would never tantalize us by
offering magniflcleiit gifts on Impossible
conditions. Will he give him a stone?
Would sn earthly parent? Would you?
Therefore the very annexing pf these in-
trinsically most blessed conditions implies
that His gracf is siifllcient for their fulfill-
Wnt, and should lure us on to a blessed
life of faith, abiding in Jesus, walking in
obedience unto all pleasing, snd s will pos-
sessed of his own divine will.— [Frances
