THE TRAGEDY OF DRESS.

BROOKLYN. Aug- 3. The Rev. Dr. Talmage, who is now in Melbourne on his round the world tour. Has chosen as the subject of hla fermon for today through the pre "The Tragedy of Dress," the text selected being I Peter til. 3. 4, "Whose adorning let It not be that outward adorning of r.laintlng the ha and the wearing of gold or of putting on of apparel, but let it be the hidden man of the heart." That we should all be clad Is proved by the opening of the first wardrobe in Varadise with its apparel of dark green. That we should all, as far as our means allow us, be beautifully and gracefully ppareled is proved by the fact that tl od never made a wave but he gilded H with golden sunbeams, or a tree but he garlanded it with blossoms, or a Fky but he s-tudded it with stars, or allowed even the smoke of a furnace to ascend but he columned unJT "lurreted and domed and scrolled it into outlines of indescribable gracefulness. "When I See the apple orchard of the spring and the pageantry of the autumnal forests, I come to the conclusion that if nature ever does join the church, whll.j Fhe. may be a piaker in the silence of her worship, ehe never will be a quaker in the style of her dross. "Why the notches of a fern leaf or the s--tamen of a water lily? "Why. whMi the day departs, dors it let the folding doors of heaven stay open to long, when it might go in so quickly? Ono summer mrnlng I saw an army of a million nars, each one adorned With a diamond of the first water I nu'an the grass with tb dfW on It. "When the prodigal came home, his father hot only put a coat on his back, but J'-vt lry on his hand. Christ wore a leard. l'.ttil, th bachelor a pontic, not nfiii'ted witli jiny sentimentality, admired tho arrangement of a woman's hair whm lie said In his t-plstT. "If a woman have long htir, It Is a glory unto lu-r." Th re wiil be a fashion in heaven fis on enrlb. but it will a ilifTerent kind of fashion. It will d. e Me the co..r of the dress, and the population ,,f that country, by a beautiful law. will wear white. I say these things as a b:ie kroind to my sermon, to show ymi that 1 have no prim, preejse, prudish or cast iron theorl' on th" subject of hunrin pparel. Rut the goddess of fashion has i"t up her throne In this world, and at the sound of tri timbrels we are all ex-.-e-tM to fall il'iwn and worship. The old and re w tet-itnent of her blhle are the f.ishi,,n plates. Her allnrs smoke with th" ;aerlfire of the bodies, mind und souls of i,om vtetlmn. in her temple four people fand In the rrgan loft, and from them there routes 1vii u coli drl.7.l' or nuisl.', fr'euig on tlir- ears of her w .r diip' is. This t-odeb of ftshlon lias become a rival of th- Lord of heaven and earth, and it Is hltrh time that wo nnllmbered our batteries against this Idolatry. Win n I rinne to count the victims of feshlon, I llnd as ninny mainline as feminine. Men make nil easy tirade ngi'iln'd woman, as though she were the hlef worshiper at this Idolatrousshrine, nnd no iloijbt some men In the more conspicuous part of the pew h.tv- already cast glance nt the mor retired part of the pew. their look n prophecy of a generous distribution. My pennon shall be jis appropriate for on end of the pew ns for the other. I'rl volllleo of Men. Men Are as much the Idolaters of fnshlon n.s women. Put they saorluVe on a different part of the altar. With men the fashion goes to cigirs and club-rooms rnd yachting parties and wine suppers. In the t'nlted States the nun hcV up nl smoke $lCo,0(iO,roO worth of tobacco every year. That Is their fi-hioii. In London not l.mg nso a man ell-.l who had started In lif with $T50,f)i. hut he ate it nil up in gluttonle, sending 1:1s agents to nil parts of the earth for some rare dHIeaey for th- palate, sometimes one plata cf food costing Mm jaoo or ?l"0. H ate up his whole fortune and had only one kuUha left. With that he bought a woodcock, tnd It dressed In the very best styl", ate it. gave two hours for digestion, then walked out on Westminster brlclt-e and thrw himself into The Thunes and died, doing on a larir Pcale what you und I have often eeen done on a null scale. Rut men eh not ahvtain from millinery and elaboration f skirt through any superiority of humility. It Is only because su. h nppendKces would be a blockade to business. XVhat would sashes j.nd trains three nnd one-half yards long do In a stock market? And yet men lire the disciples of fashion Ju-d as much as women. Some tif them war boots so tight they can hardly walk in the ptthn of righteousness. And ther it re nu-n who buy expensive suit of rl thes and never pay f r thorn, aad who go through the streets In great stripes of coljr, like animated checkerboards. I say these things because I want to show you that I am impartial in my discourse, and that 'both xexrs. In the language of the surrogate's oUhe, shall "share and rhare alike." As tvd may help me. I shall Hhow you what are the destroying- and drathful Inlluence of Inordinate fashion. The first baleful Influence I notice Is ' !n fraud. Illimitable and ghastly. To you know that Arnold of the revolution jropoed to Kell his country In order to get the uton.y to supp rt Ms wife's wardrobe? I declare h.-re before (Jod nnd this people that the effort to keep up expensive establishment! In this country Is sending more business men to temporal perdition than all other causes oomblned. What was it that sent Cilrnan to nh penitentiary, and Philadelphia Morton to the watering of stocks, ind the life Insurance presidents To jerjureu statement about their assets, and has completely upe our American finances? What was it that overthrew the United States secretary at Washington, the crash of whose fall shook the continent? Rut why should I go to these famous defaulting; to show what men will do In order to keep up great home style and expensive wardrobe, when you and I know scores of men who are put to thlr wit's end and are lashed from January to December In the attempt? Our politicians may theorize until the expiration of their terms of office as to the best way of Improving our monetary condition In this country. It wdl be of no use and things will b no better until we learn to put on our heads n.nd backs and feet and hands no :njre than we can pay for. Tragedy of Unman Clothes. There are clerks In stores and banks on limited salaries who. In the vain attempt to keep the wardrobe of their family as showy as other folks' wardrobes, are dying of muffs and diamonds isnd f bawls and high hats, and they have noth'ing left except what they give to clgam and wine suppers, and they die before theJr tlme, and they will expect i:s ministers to preach about them as t'tough they were the victims of early 1 i-ty. and after a high-class funeral, v th eilver handles at the side of the o.;:n of extraordinary brightness, It v ill 1 found out that the undertaker Is atd out of hi to1-': - - expenses' not snd to me to preach the floral sermon of a man who dies like that. I will blurt out the whole truth and tell that he was strangled to death by his wife's ribbons. Our countries are dressed to death. You are not surprised to find that the putting up of one public building In New York cost millions of dollars more than It ought to have cost

avia you find, that th man who avo

out the contracts paid more than.-$3,000 I for hte daughter's wedding dress. Cashmeres of a thousand dollars each are not rare on Uroadway. It is estimated that there are 10,'iuO women In the?e two eitles who have expended on their personal array J1.000 a year. What are men to do in order to keep up euch home wardrobes? Steal! That is the only respectable thing they can do. During the last fifteen years there have been Innumerable fine businesses shipwrecked on the wardrobe. The temptation conies In this way: A man thinks more of his family ;han of nil the world outside, and if they spend the evening in describing to him the superior wardrobe of the family across the street, that they cannot bear the sight of, the man Ls thrown on his gallantry and on his pride of family and without translating his feelings into plain language he goe9 into extortion and issuing of false stock and skillful penmanship in writing

somebody else's name at the foot of a promissory note, and they all go down together the husband to the prison, the wife to tho sewing machine, the children to t taken care of by those who were called poor relations. Oh, for some new Shakspeare to arise and write the tragedy of human clothes! Will you forgive me if I say in tersest shape possible that some of the men have to forge and to perjur and to swindle to pay for their wives' dresset? I will gay it whether you forgive me or not. A Foe of AIiiiukIvIok. Again, Inordinate fashion Is the foe of all Christian almsgiving. Men ami women put so much in personal display that they often have nothing for (lod and the cause of suffering humanity. A Christian1 man cracking his I'alais Royal glove across the back by shutting up his hand to hide the cent he puts into the poor-box. A Christian woman nt the story of the Hottentots, crying copious tears Into a twenty-Mve-dollar handkerchief and then giving a 2-eent pLce to th collection, thrusting it under the bills so people will not know but it was a ten-dollar goldplece. One hundred dollars fur Incense to fashion; 2 cents for lod. Ood gives us t0 cents out of every dollar. The other 10 cents by command of Ills bible belong- to him. Is not tlod liberal according to JIls tithing system laid down in the old testament? Is not 5od irberal In giving us '.to flits out of a dollar when he takes but 10? We do not bke that. We want to have V'J cents for ourselves and 1 for 5od. Xow. I would a great deal rather ftcal 10 cents from you than front tlod. I think one reason why a great many people do not get along In worldly accumulalioit faster Is because they do not observe this divine rule, flod says, "Well, If that man Is not satisfied with J1 cents of a dollar, then I will take th.; who.; biliar, and I will give t to the man- or Woman who Is hone? t with me." The greatest obstacle to charity In the Christian church today Is the fac t that men expend so much money on their table, and woimn so much on tlnlr dress, they havrf got nothing left for the work of Ood und the world's betterment. In my first settlement at ll.llevüle, X. J., the ck us of missions was 1 ing presented ort Kabbath. and a plea for the charity of the people was b"lng tu. nie, when an old Christi. in man In the audience lost his balance and said right out In the midst of Ihe s rmon, "Mr. Tatmage, how are we to give liberally to these grand and glotlous causes when our families dress as they do?" I did not ansver that question. t was the only (inte In my life when I had nothing to Fay. Mow l'ii Ii I on Dlalrncl Worship. Again, Inordinate fashion Is distraction to public woiship. Yoti know very well there are a good many people who come to church Just as they go to the r;r"S to hco who will com out first. What a Untier It makes In church when some woman with extraordinary display of fashion comes In! "What n love of a lxinnet!" says oiae one. "What a pTfeet fright:" Kiy nvi hundred. For the numt merciless critics In the world are fashion critics. Men and women with souls to Le saved passing the hour In wondering where that man got his cravat or what store that woman patronizes. In many of our churches the preliminary exercises are taken up '.vlih the discussion of wardrobes. Ii Is pitiable. Is it not wonderful thst th Lord does i.ot strike the meeting-houses with lightnimr What distraction of public worship! !- lug men and women, whose Pod lis are soon to be tunud into dust, yet before three world strutting like peacockr, the awful question of the soul's destiny submerged by th question of navy blue velvet nd long Inn train k lit. lc-rg enough to trag up the church aisle, the hufha lid's store., ofüce, shop, fac.ory, fortune and the admiration of half the people In the building. Men and women coli late to church to how their clothes. lVoplo sitting down in a pew or taking up a hymnbook, nil absorbed at the same time in personal array, to sing: It I, my soul, end stretch thy wings; Thy better portion trnce, Iil4 frcm transitory thlntrs Toward heaven, thy native place. 1 adopt the episcopalian prayer nnd say, "Ood Lord, deliver us!" InsatUle fashion also Indlttles the intellect. Our minds ate enlarged or they dwindle Just In proportion to the importance of tho subject on which we constantly dwell. Can you imagine anything more dwarfing to the human intellect than the study of fashion? I Bee men on the street who, judging from their elaboration, I think must have taken two hours to arrange their npparcl. After a few years of that kind of absorption, which one of McAllister's magnifying glasses will le powerful enough to make the mnn'H character visible? They all land in Idiocy. I have seen men at the summering watering places through fashion the mere wreck of what they once were. Hallow of cheek. Meager of limb. Hollow nt the c hest. Showing no animation save in rushing across a room -to pick uj a lady's fan. Simpering along the corridors, the same compliments they simperr-dtwenty years aj?n. A New York lawyer at tin; United State hotel, Saratoga, within our hearing, rushed across a room to ay to a sensible woman, "You are ns sweet r.s peaches!" The fools of fashion are myriad. Fashion not only destroys the body, but It makes Idiotic the intellect. A Untied Life. Yet, my frienu. I have given you only the milder phase of this evil. It shuts a great multitude out of heaven. The first peal of thunder that shook Sinai declared, "Thou shalt have no other Ood before me." and you will have to choose between the goddess of fashion and the Christian God. There are a great many seats in heaven, and they are all easy seat.', but not one seat for the devotee of fashion. Heaven is for meek and quiet spirits. Heaven Is for those who think more of their sou'.s than of their bodies. Heaven is for those who have more Joy In Christian charity than in dry goods religion. Why, if you with your idolatry of fashion should somehow get into heaven, you would be for putting a French roof on the "house of many mansions." Olve up this idolatry of fashion or give up heaven. What would you do standing beside the countess of Huntington, whose joy it was to build chapels for the poor, or with that Christian woman of Iloston who fed 1.500 children of the street at Faneull hall on Xew Year's day, giving out as a sort of doxology at the end of the meeting a pair of hoes to each one of them, or those Dorcases of modern society who have consecrated their needles to the Lord, and who will get eternal reward for every stitch they take. Oh. men and women, give up the Idolatry of fashion. The rivalries and the competitions of such a life are a stupendous wretchedness. You will always find some one with brighter array, and with more palatial residence, and with lavender kid gloves that make a tighter fit. And if you buy this thing snd wear it you will wl?h you had bought something eise and worn It. And the frets of such a life will bring the crows' feet to your temples before they are due, and when you come to die you will have a miserable time. 1 have seen men and women tf

fashion die. and I never taw one of them die well. The trappings off,, there they lay on the tumbled pillow, and there were just two things that bothered them a wasted life and. a coming eternity. I could not pacify them, for their -body, mind and soul had been exhausted in the worship of fashion, tr.d they could n it appreciate the gospel. When 1 knelt by their bedside they were mumbling out their regrets and saying: "O Ood! O Ood!" Their garments hung up In the wardrobe never again to be seen by them. "Without any exception, so far as my memory serves me, they died without hope and went Into eternity unprepared. Ktrrnnl Iipia I rln t Ion. The most ghastly deathbeds on earth are the one where a man dies of delirium tremens, and the other where a woman dies after having sacrificed all her faculties of body, mind and soul In the worship of fashion. My friends, we must appear In Judgment to answer for what we have worn on our bodies as well as for what repentances we have exercised with our souls. On that day I see coming in Beau Brummel of the last century, without his cloak, like which all Kngland got a cloak, and without his cane, like which all England got a cane; without hi3 pnuff-box, like which all Kngland got a enufT-box. lie. the fop of the ages, particular about everything but his. morals, and Aaron Burr, without the letters that down to old .age he showed In pride to prove his early wicked gallantries, and Absolom without his hair, and Marchioness Pompadour without her titles, and Mrs. Arnold, the belle of Wallst, when that was the center of fashion1, tvfthout her fripperies of vesture. And in great haggardness they phall go away into eternal expatriation, while among the queens of heavenly society will be found Vashtl. who wore the modest veil before tho palatial bacchanalians, and Hannah, who annually made a little coat for Samuel at the temple, and Orandmother Ivds, the ancestress of Timothy, who imitated her virtue, and Mary, who gave Jesus Christ to the world, and many of you. the wives and mothers and elsters and daughters of the present Christian church, who. through great tribulation, are entering Into the kingdom of Ood. Christ announced who would make up the royal family of heaven when he Faid, "Whosoever doeth the will of Ood, the same Is my brother, my sister, my mother." AVASTO OP FOOD II V AMKIUCAX.

I'rople from llurope Aalnnlfttird hjr Oar Cnrelean Tabic Metlinda. An Kngllsh health Journal exprrnsv great surprise at the quantity of food eaten by Americans against English liiHirers. It Is very curious to how different foods preponderate In dlff rent Industries. The textile worker m Europe will have ninety-five pounds of neat per annum for every 100 units of eotiMuc.pllon. or say, a quarter of a potto I of meat a day, while steel workers indulge In 114 pounds for every 10a mills, on the other hand, the weaver consumes more Hour than the sited worker 27." pounds per 1(H) units instead of li pound.'.. He nlso takes about seventyon.? p nirids of sugar mote per lot) units, and a dozen nior.. eggs; of butter, lard and tea both take, about the na me, though both in tea mid coffee the weaver a little exceeds the other. That Is, in the calling which demunds the greater muscular exertion, a greater amount of nitrogenous food Is requlre-d. On the Kurop"an continent the consumption of meat by workers Is much less than In Britain. Kvt n In tin- lion Industry the Ocnnan is Utile more extravagant than the Kngllsh weaver, while! the Frenchman consumes only fifty-seven and three-fourths pounds and tho Belgian fifty-live and a half pounds. On the other hand, the latter consume more Hour and eggs, more than twice as muc h of each fourteen pounds and nineteen pounds respectively to tli Bhglbhman's three and a half pounds; but It must also be taken In Ihe reckoning that tea does not nppenr In thir accounts. But all these figures pale before the statistics of food consumption in America. The Illinois iron worker manages to consume r.'J.l pound of meat per luo units, and though this Is excessive, 20t;'.j pounds are put down as the average of Pennsylvania, l'J7:li pounds for Ohio, IST'i pounds for West Virginia and i:,." pounds for Tennessee. The average consumption of Hour for the states Is about r.'O jHtunds, but voracious Illinois again eome-s to the fore with tltJf, pounds, nnd sugar, butter and eggs are everywhere more lavishly used than In Kurope. Here, as in Kurope, Ireui and steel lnilustrles are found to be more solf-lndtil-gent than other trades, but the expenditure here U far above that of even the most extravagant workers of Kurope. Much of the food accounted for In these figures is actually consumed, but a large margin must be sllowed for what Is wantonly destroyed, and when the history of the waute of food products In the United States come to be written It will contain some stnrtllng and not altogether pleasant reading.

A most remarkable child, named Fillpe Gonzales, has appeared In the city of San Louis Potosl. The boy is only eight years of age, and has given a number of receptions, which have been attended by the most prominent and highly educated citizens of that city and surrounding country. At one of these receptions, held recently, the child discussed the question of the education of chl'dren and their literary duties. According to the reports of those who heard him. he discourse was one of the most profound In thought and full of Interest that has ever been heard in Mexico. The boy has a wonderful memory, and makes his statements with a posklveness that carries conviction with them. The boy speaks and writes Italian, French Spanish, English and German. He creates the greatest Interest and astonishment antong all wfao (have seen him. He Is of very poor parents, and never had any educational advantages, having gained his knowledge of the languages from a few text books. Not nt AH Mercenary. He "If I were a poor man you would never have married me, would you?" She "Certainly not, I love you the way you are and if you had been poor you would have been so unlike your present self that I could not have loved you. You Rfe. my dear. It isn't the money, It's the combination," Startled Him. "Are you going away for the summer?" asked the New York reporter. "Why?" exclaimed the prominent politician, anxiously. "Who's getting ready tj lzrvesüsate now?"

He was be i n- by the Spirit anl baptized by the Spirit I.Mi'.li. i, 20; if. 10), and now He is led by the Fpirit into trial, for every Fervant must b tri" I. Consider the trials of Abraham, Joseph, Moses, David and other servants of the Lr.rd. Think aLso of the tes:I,igs f Israel, (Jod's son. In the wlldrnes thoforty years. Wv are taught to count it a blesyeel privilege to be trie! and never to think It strange (Jas. I. 2, 12: I Pet. iv. 12). Jesus, although absolutely ptrfct In Himself, was mad perfect through suffering as th authur of our s.-dvall m (Ihb. Ii, lti), and. whik we an p. ifibM forever in Him. y-.-t we mu-et stiff er with Him if we would reign with Him (Heb. .. 14; If Tim. li. 12). S c I Cor. x, 111. 2. "And when He ha 1 f isted f rty days and forty niuhts he was afterwar I an hungered." .Moses fasted forty das and nights on two different Ovvador.s (Deut, iv, I. 1S); i::ijah -als fasted forty days and nichts on his wiy to ;end at the sun? Mount Hortb (I Kings x!x. S), the mountain of God, where He nppeirel to Moses In the burning bush (Kx. Hi. 1. 2) anl called him to deliver Nra-'l. We find th'e three forty diy fasters on the" mount of transflguratl n, but when the cloud passed the disc iples saw no one save Jesus only (Math. xvli. 8). We must see in it, nt last, the entire subjugation of tho natural and tho solo supremacy of the spiritual. 3. "And wh'tt the temper came to Him he paid, If Thou he the un of Cod. command that these stones be made bif id." Mark calls the tempt-r citan. and Luke calls h.m the devil. Jtoth names uro found in our b'-soti. sttan tjgnirying an adversary, and elevil :iu accuser. The lirt temptation s nfter the manner of that In Ivb-n and Insinuates that Clod is n n love-, ele lie would not withhold anything from His children, much less tho bread necessary for the holy. 4.

It Is a h If he said, a son e.f jo should nppi ar among the peopi.. (n some be litttng manner come, us It were, eb-wn from heaven right In their midst. The first temptation was the lust of thellexh. This looks like the- lust of the eyes, in lMen the tree sc-i-mcd good for feine! nnd then pleasant to th- eyes, lasten to the elevil eiuotlng scripture-, but compare IN. xei, 11, and se- how lie inlscujotea it by omitting ;m Important part. 7. "Jesus s:'.ld unto Ii I in. It Is written again, thou shttlt not tempt the Lord, thy lrd." Scilptutv elo.-s not contradict scripture, but explains It and Instructs us how to avoid Its abuse. To tempt (loci Is the opposite of waiting In tit obeell"iioef anil e-onlldence of trust. It is In the line uf presumption. There is no presumption In going where God sends you on His service-, but there would b presumption In going to the sam place or doing the same- thing unse-nt of Jod Just to niuko yoitrst If a nanio and have the praise- of men. 8. "Again, the d.-vil taketh Ulm up into nn exceeding h!h mountain and shc-we th Him all the kingdom of Hie woild and the glory of them." I.uke a. Ids that he did It In a moment of time. Mini again we ask not how, but simply beli-ve. He Is calle-il th- prince and the god of this world (John xlv, SO; II Cor. iv, 4i and has metre under hit control than some- rare to believe, but only by permission nnd f r a time. The kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdom of our Lord and His Christ nnd H shall reign forever (K?v. xl. 1."). If we will have power now. It will probably be from th elovit; if w can wait and Ftifft-r awhile with Christ, w shall reign with Him forever. 9. ''And Kalth unto Him. All these things will I give Thee If Thou wilt fall down and worship me." It Is or sat m to seek honor from men more than trora Hod angel jo not thus (Itev. xxll, X. 0). The jiiitlchrl.t will accept atatTs offer In the last elays as de scribed In Itev. xlil. Jesus seems to refer to this when He says, "I am come In My Father's name, and ye receive me not; If another shall come in his own name, him ye will rccelvo (John v, A',). Th- mark of th-tK-ast may be th- nub kest and easiest way to honor, but it Involves an eternity of torment with the devil and hi angels (Rev. xlv. 9-11: Math, xxv, 41). May we be like the friends of Daniel who preferred the fiery furnace to the worship of the image (Dan. ill. 17. PO. 10. "Then salth Jesus unto him, let thee hence, satan. for it Is writte n, thou shalt worship th Lord thy (Joj, and Him only shalt thou serve." Thus is the third temptation overcome, by the sword of the Spirit, and each ouotatbm Is from Deuteronomy. I've fell by believing satan; Jesus overcomes by bellevlng Cod. If we would love not the world with Its lust of the flsh, lust of the eyes and pride of life, It must be by being filled with the word and the Spirit. 11. "Then the devil Kneth Him. and. behold, angels came and ministered unto Him." Luke says that the devil left Him for a season. We are to submit ourselves to Ood, resist the devil, and he will flee from us (las. iv, 7). To this end we need the whole armor as described in Kph. v!, 13-18. It Is well to bear in mind that we are for the present on the enemy's territory and wrestle with wk-ked spirits, but we need not be overcome. The angels are still ministering spirits (Heb. I. 11) and care or the children of (od. Cet the stories of the angels and Elijah and Abraham and Lot and Peter be pondered prayerfully, believed simply and heartily, and we cannot but be profited.
