head of Jolin the Baptist, the death glare
still in tho eyfc; tiio locks dabbled with tho
gore, the features still distressed with tho
last agony.
This woman, who ha 1 whirled so grace
fully in tho dance, bends over tho awful bur-d'-n
"without a shudder. She gloats over the
blood, and with as much indifference as a
waiting mai I might take a tray of empty
giasswaro out of tho room after an enter
tainment Salome carries tho dissevered head
of John the Bap'.i-d, while all the banqueters
shout with laughter and think it agoo 1 joko
that in so easy and quick a way they hava
got rid of an earnest and outspoken minister
of th" gospel.
You will nil admit, whntevr you think of
that stylo of amusement and exercise, that
from many circles it has crowded out all in
telligent conversation. You w;'1 also admit
that it has ma le tho condition of those who
do not danso, either because they do not
know how or because they have not tho
health to enduro it, or because through con
scientious scruples they must decline the ex
ercise, very uncomfortable. You will also
admit, all of you, that it has passed in many
cases from an amusement to a dissipation,
and you aro easily ablo to understand the
bewilderment of the educated Chinaman,
who, standing in the brilliant circle where
there was dancing going on four or live hours
and the guests seemed exhausted, turned to
tho proprietor of the houso an I said, "Why
don't you allow your servants to do thi3 for
you?"
You aro also willing to admit, whatever bo
your idea in regard to tho amusement that I
am speaking of. and whatever bo your idea
of tho old fashioned squaro dance, and of
many of the processional romps in which I
can see no evil, tho round daace is adminis
trative of ovil an i ought to bo driven out of
ail respectable circles. I am by natural tem
perament and religions theory opposed to
the position taken by all those who aro hor
rified at playfulness on tho part of the
young, and who think that all questions aro
decided questions of decenoy and morals
by the position of tho feet, while, on the
other hand, I can see nothing but ruin, tem
poral and eternal, for thoso who go into the
dissipations of social life dissipations which
have already despoiled thousands of young
men and young women of all that is noble
in character and useful in life.
Dancing is tho graceful motion of the
body adjusted by art to tho sound and
measure of musical instrument or of the
human voice. All nations have danced.
Tho ancients thought that Castor and
rollux taught tho art to tho Lacedaemo
nians. But whoever started it all climes
have adopted it. In ancient times thev
had the festal dance, tho military
dance, tho mediatorial dance, tho bac
chanilian dance, and queens and lords
swayed to and fro in tho e-ardens, and tho
rough backwoodsman with this exerciso
awakened the echo of tho forest. There
is something in tho souud ot lively music
to evoko tho movement of tho hand
and foot, whether cultured or un
cultured. Passing down the street wo
unconsciously keep step to tho sound of the
brass band, while tho Christian in church
with his foot beats time while hi3Soul rises
upon some great harmony. While this is so
in civilised lands, tho red men of tho forest
havo their scalp dances, their groon corn
dauces, their war dances. In ancient times
the exerciso was so utter! and completely
depraved that tho church anthematiz-dd it.
Tho old Christian fathers expressed them
selves most vehemently against it. St.
Chrysostum says : "Tho feet were not given
for daueintr, but to walk modestly ; not to
leap impudently, liko camels." One of the
dogma's of tho ancient church reads :
"A dance is the devii's possession, and ho
that entereth into a danco entereth into his
possession. As many paces as a man makes
in dancing, so many pases does he make to
hell." Elsewhere the old dogmas declared
this: "Tho woman that singeth in the
danco is the princess of the devil, and those
that answer aro her clerks, and the beholders
are his friends, and the music is his bellows,
and the llddlers aro tho ministers of the
devil. For. as when hogs aro strayed, if the
hogshord call one, p.U assemble together, so
when trie devil calleth ono woman to sing
in the lianee, or to play on some musical in
struments, presently all the dancers gather
together." This indiscriminate and univer
sal denunciation of the exercisa came from
the tact that it was utterly and completely
deprave,'.
Social dissipation is tho abettor of pride.
It is the instigator ot jealousy. It is the sac
rificial altar of health. It is the defiler of the
eoul. It is tho avenue of lust, and it is tho
curse of every town on both sides of the sea.
Social dissipation ! It may bo hard to draw
tho line and say that this is right on the one
side and that is wrong on the other side. It
is not necessary that we do that, for God ha3
put a throne in every man's soul, and I ap
peal to that throne to-day. When a man does
wrong, he knows he does wrong, and when
he does right he knows he does right, and to
that throne, which Almighty Goi lifted in
the heart of every man and woman. I aDDeaL
As to the physical ruin wrought ty tne
dissipations of social life there can be no
doubt. What may we expect of people who
work all day and dance all nij?ht? After
awhile they will be tbrown on society ner
vous, exhausted imbeciles. These people
who indulge in the suppers and the midnight
revels and then go home in the cold un
wrapped of limbs will after awhile be found
to have been written down in God's eternal
records a3 suicides as much suicides as if
they nad taken their life with a pistol or a
knife or strychnine.

than one family whm I say they went on in
the dissipations oi social life until tho father
dropped into a lower styio of dissipation,
and alter awhile the son was tossed out into
society a non-'ntltv. and after awhilo tho
daughter otop-vl wit1-, a French danimg mas

further and iurther ia years, tries to hide

miserable butterfly without any wings.
If there is anything on earth beautiful to
me, it is an agoc" woman, her white locks
flowing back over the wrinkled brow locks
h trot. as the ooats say. but
white with the blossoms of tho tree of life,
In her voice tho tenderness of trraciou3
memories, her face a benediction. As grand
mother passes through the room the grand
children pull at her dress, and she almost
fall in her weakness, but sho has nothing
but candy or cake or a kind word for the
littlo darlings. When she gets out ot the
wagon in front of the house, tho whole
family rush out and cry, "Grandmas
come 1" And when she goes away from us,
never to return, there is a shadow on the
table, and a shadow on the hearth, and a
shadow on the heart.
There is no more touching scene on earth
than when grandmother sleeps tho last slum
ber and tho 'lltttle child is lifted up to tho
casket to give the last kiss, and she says,
"Goodby, grandma!" Oh, there is beauty
in old age. God says so. "The hoary head
Jsa crowu of glory.'" Why should people
decline to get old? The best thmg3, the
greatest things, I know of are aged old
mountains, old seas, old stars and old eterni
ty. But if there is anything distressful it is
to see an old woman ashamed of the fact
that she is old. What with all the artificial
uppliances she is too much for my gravity.
I laugh even in church when I see her com
ing. Tho worst looking bird on earth i3 a
peacock when it has lost its feathers. I
would not give one lock of my old mother's
gray hair for 50,000 such caricatures of hu
manity. And if the life of a worldling, if
the life of a disciple given to the world, is
ead tho close of such a life is simply a tragody.
Let me tell; you that the dissipations of social
life are despoiling the usefulness of a vast
multitude of people. What do those people
care about the fact that there are whole na
tions in sorrow and suffering and agony
when they have for consideration the more
Important question about the size of a glovo

Sybaris was a great city, and it once sent
out S00 horsemen in battle. They had a
minstrel who had taught the horses of the
army a great trick, and when the old min
strel played a certain tune the horses would
rear and with their front feet seemed to beat
tme to tho music. Well, the old minstrel
was offended with his country, and he went
over to the enemy, and he said to the enemy,
'You give me the mastership of the army,
and I will destroy their troops when those
horsemen come from Sybaris.
So they gave tne old ministrel tho manage
ment, and he taught all the other rainstrels
a certain .ane. Then when the cavalry
troop came up the old minstrel and all the
other minstrels played a certain tune, and
at the most critical moment in the battle,
when the horsemen wanted to rush to the
conflict, the morses reared and beat time to
the music- with their fore feet, and in dis
grace and rout the enemy fled. Ah, my
friends, I have seen It again and again the
minstrels of pleasure, tho minstrels of dissi
pation, the minstrels cf godless association
have defeated people in tho hard
est light of life! Frivolity has
lost tho battle for 10,000 folk.
Oh, what a belittling process to the'human
mind this everlasting question about dress,
thi3 discussion of fashionable infinitesimals,
this group, looking askance at the glass,
wondering with an infinity of earnestness
how that last geranium leaf does look, thi3
shriveling of man's raorai dignity until it is
not observable to the naked eye, this Span
ish inquisition of a t ght shoe, this binding
up of an immortal soul in a ruffle, this pitch
ing off of an immortal nature over the rocks
when God created it for great and everlast

With many life is a masquerade ball, ana
i nt such entertainments gentlemen and
ladies put on tho garb of kings and queens
or mountebanks or clowns, and at the olose
put off the disguise, so a great many pass
their whole life in a mask, taking off the
mask at death. While the masquerade ball
of life noes on they trip merrily over the
floor, gemmed hand is stretehod to the
gemmed hand, and gleaming brow bonds to
gleaming brow. On with tho dance ! Fiusb
and rustle and laughter of immeasurable
merrymaking !
Bur alter awhile the languor of death
comes on thelimb3 and blurs the eyesight.
Lights lower. Floor hollow with sepulchral
echo. Music s.vldenod into a wail. Lights
lower. Now the maskers are only seen in
the dim light. Now the fragrance of the
flowers is like tho sickening odor that comes
from garlands that have lain long in tho
vaults of cemeteries. Lights lower. Mists
gather in tho room. Glasses shake as though
qaakod by sullen thunder. Sigh cau,-ht in
tno curtain. Scarf drops from the shoulder
ui Deauiy a suroud ! Ligats lower. Over
tho slippery boards in dance of death glides
jealousies, envies, revenges, lust, despair
and df ath. Stench the lamp wicks almost
extinguished. Torn garments will not half
cover the ulcerated feet. Choking damps.
Chilliness. Foet still. Hands closed. Voices
bushed. Eyes shut. Lights out.
Oh, how many oi'you havo floated far away
from God through social dissipations, and it
is time you turned, for I remember that
t here weretwo vessels ou tho sea iu a storm.
It was very, very dark, and the two vessels
were going straight for each other, an I the
captains knew it not. But after awhile the
man on the lookout saw the approaching
ship, and ho shouted, "Hard a-larboard 1"
and from the other vessel the cry went up,
"Hard a-larboard !" aud they turned just
enough to glance by and passed iu safety to
tlieir harbors. Some of you are in the storm
of temptation, and you are driving on an 1
coining toward feriul collisions unless you
change your course. Hard a-larboard ! Turn
yo, turn ve, for "why will yo die, O house
of Israel?"

of tho river in battle formation, and
when distant four thousand metres

Chinese, after a short time, broke the for

ADMIBAIi TING, CHTNESE COMMANDED.
of tho Naval Command Bureau, who was
making a tour of Inspection. Admiral
Kabayama's presence was accidental, tho
meeting of the Chinese vessels by tho Jap
anese floet being entirely unexpected. The
Admiral was frequently in imminent p Til.
Tho steering gear of tho Salkio-Maru
was disabled by tho explosion of ono of
tho enemy's shells, and that vessel was
obliged to drop out of the lino. Sho was pur
sued by tho Chinese and was forced to pass
between tho powerful Ting-Yuen and Chen
Yuen, within a distance of eighty metres.
The commanders of theso vessels, thinking it
was her intention to ram them, sheered off,
leaving the packet room to escapo. Tho Chi
nese discharged two fish torpedoes at her.
but they were aimed too low and passed be
neath her, doing no damage.
Shortly after tho mishap to tho Saikio-M-ru
the flagship Matsusima's forward quick
firing gun was struck by a sholl, and many
casualties resulted. Tho ship also was so
severely injured as to necessitate hor with
drawing from tho lino of battle, and Admiral
lto shifted his flag to tho Hashidate. An
other of tho Chineso shells exploded in tho
sick bay of tho Hiyel. killing and wounding
many persons, including tho surgeons, and
setting tho ship on firo. She, too, left tho
line of battlo to extinguish the flames and
transfer tho wounded, which being done sho
returned and again took part in tho light.
Captain Sakamoto, of tho Akagi, was aloft
watching for torpedoes and signalling to tho
other vessels of tho fleet, their location, when
tho mast was cut away by a shot from the
enemy and lie was killed. The Yoshiuo s
forward barbette was slightly damaged.
All the ships of tho Japaueso squadron
carried new guns, and theso did excellent
service. They usod no torpedoes, all
the damago sustained by the Chineso
vessois bolng inflicted by shot. In view of
this fact, tho sinking of double-bottomed
vessels like tho Lai-Yuen is considered re
markable, and it is the genorally expressed
opinion among nautical authorities that the
Avork of the Japaneso was the most success
ful thing since the time of Nelson.
Toward tho close of the light great contu
sion was observed on board the Ting-Yuen,
King-Yuen and Ping-Yuen. Theso ships ap
peared to bo on lire.
At sundown tho Chineso fleet were in full
retreat. They wore pursued by the Jap
aneso ships, which laid their course paral
lel to thac taken by tho enemy. The night
being very dark, the pursuers kept at
some distance from the Chineso, fear
ing that should they follow the enemy
too closely thoy might be damaged
by tho batter's torpedo boats. Owing to this
fact and tho extreme darkness the Chinese
succeedod in getting away and reaching a
eafe shelter. At daylight the Japaneso ves
sels endeavored to find the enemy, but were
unable to do so. They then returned to tho
sceno of the previous day's action, where
they found tho Yang-Wei ashore and de
serted, and destroyed her with a fish tor
pedo. None of the Japanese vessois were
lost in the engagement and only three of
theni wero seriously injured. All of them,
with the exception of tho Matsusima, remain
on the station.
All tho official reports of tho battle aro
very laconic and greatly wanting in scien
tific and usoful details.

Dollar Wheat iu
Actinz Secretary Sims,
partment, at Washington, has been constd.
ering a bid for wheat to be furnished th
Sioux Inlians at Crow Creek agency, Soutb
Dakota, which he thinks is positive proo;
that the low price for this cereal does not ex
ist. The lowest bid was $1.01 per bushel
The wheat is for milling purposes, and th
grade required was "No. 1 spring, at sixti
pDundstothe bushel. T'ais is a very higt
grade, and in case of a partial failure of cro
might be hard to obtain. This bid for wheal
for Indian supplies has been before tho do
p irtment before, and when returned the !asi
time it was with the statement that it wa;
impossible to obtain a lower rite, and t; ha!
the wheat was needed for the Indians a!
once. Secretary Sims says that more than
one dollar per bushel seems to be a verj.
Irgh price to pay for wheat right in the
midst of tbe wheat-growing region.
Wheat Displacing Oats.
The high price of corn and the low price
of wheat have caused no little experimenta
tion in the use of wheat as a ration for
horses. In the big stables of Armour & Co.,
Chicago, a mixture of half wheat, half corn
was tried some weeks ago, and it is re
ported that the experiment has given com
plete satisfaction. Feed men are quoted as
saying that not half the llvory stables in
Chicago are using oats nov, but are feeding
wheat or mixtures instead,
Admiral Ting's Career.
Admiral Ting, naval commander of tho
Chinese forces at the recent disastrous battlo
with tho Japanese squadron off tho mouth of
tho Yalu River, has been Viceroy Li Hung
Chang's trusty lieutenant in matters per
taining to the Chineso navy since its organi
zation in 1885. He is, however, more of a
soldier than a sailor, having won his spurs
as a dashing cavalry commander.
Before he was placed in command of tho
"Northern Squadron" he was one of tho de
partment commanders of the Chinese 'and
forces, with his headquarters at Tien-Tsln.
His rank nt that time was Brigadier-General.
From a Brigadier-General he became
at onco a full fledged Admiral, without any
Under such circum
stances his failure as a naval commander
was only to be expected. His services to the
Chinese naw consist chiefly in devising a
uniform for the officers an i men, which 13

He is an inveterate gambler, and does not
