Ghobb Bancroft is said to be particular to remove Ms gloves before shaking bands. The point is a good one. Just introduce the fashion of ungloving

before shaking, and shaking will soon subside. If there be one pre-eminently disagreeable and distressing fashion in America, it is our universal and eternal hand-shaking. Its origin, wa believe, runs back to our eavage ancestors, who clasped hands in sign of peace instead of war. Is there any reason for swearing a treaty of peace with every Tom, Dick and Harry of your acquaintance whom you chance to met t in the street? The custom is a terrible fag on health. . "

DR. TALMAGE'S SERMON.

SHUN THE COMPANIONS OF PEO,tPJjE OP IjEISURE. Mischief May Como to Those Who Do Not Care for Work Be Courteous and Firm--Plant a Christian Character and Reap an Up

right Idfe. Rev. Dr. Talmage Preached at Brooklyn Sunday, Texts Prov., xiii,, 20. He said: ... . . . Th companion of fools shall be destroyed. It is the invariable rule. There is a well man in the wards of a hospital, where there are a hundred people sick with ship fever, and ho will not be so apt to disease as a good man would be apt to be smitten with moral distemper if shut up with iniquitous companions. We may, in our places of business, be compelled to talk to and mingle with bad men; but he who deliberately chooses to associate himself with vicious people is engaged in carrying on a court

ship with a Delilah, wnose shears will clip off all the locks of his strength, and he will be tripped into perdition Sin is catching, is infections, is epidemic. I will let oo, look over the millions of people now inhabiting the earth, and I challenge you to show me a good man who, after one year, bai made choice and consorted with the wicked. A thousand dollars reward for one such

instance, l care not now strong your character may be. Associate with gamblers, you will become a gambler. Clan with burglars, and you will become a burglar. Go among the unclean, and you will become unclean. Not appreciating the truth of my text, manv a young man has been destroyed. He akes up some morning in the great city, and knows no one except the persons into whose employ he -has entered. As he goes into the store all the clerks mark him,measnre him and discuss him. The uprigbt young men of the store wish him well; but perhaps wait for a formal introduction, and even then have some delicacy, about inviting him . into their associations. But the bad young men of the store at the first opportunity approach and offer their services. They patronize him. ' They profess to know all about the town. They will take him anywhere that he wishes to go if he will pay the expenses. For if a good young man and a bad yoifhg man go to some place where they ougbt not, the good ypung man has invariably to pay the charges. At the moment the ticket is to' be paid for, or the champagne settled for, the bad young man feels around in his pockets and says: "I have for

gotten my pocketbooK." In forty-eight

hours after the young man has entered the store the bad fellows of the estab-

lishment siap him on the shoulder familiarly, and, at his stupidity in taking certain allusions, say: "My young

friend, von will have to be broken in.

and they immediately proceed to break

him in,' . , -

Young man, in the name of God I

warn you to beware how you let a bad

man talk familiarly with you. If such

an one slap you on the shoulder familiarly, turn around and give him. a with

ering look until the wretch croutches in your presence. There is no - mon

strosity of wickedness that can stand unabashed under the glance of purity

and honor. God keeps . the lightnings of heaven in his own scabbard, and no

human arm can wield them; but God

gives to every young man a lightning

that he may use. and that is the light

ning of an honest eye. Those who nave been close observers will not wonder why I give warning to y oung men

and say: "Jpeware of bad company.

First, I warn you to shun the skeptic

the young man who puts his fingers

in his vest and laughs at your old-

fashioned relicion, and turns over to

some mystery of the Bible and says:

"Explain that,my pious friend; explain

that;" and who says: "Nobody shall scare me; I am not afraid of the future;

I used to believe in such things, and so did my father and mother, but I have

got over it. Yes, he has got over it, and if you sit in his company a little

longer you will get over it, too.

while the world plavsjt works. Look out

for the man who always plays and never

works. You will do well to avoid those

whose regular business it is to plav ball.

skate or go a boating. All these sports are grand in their places. I never derived so much advantage from anv

ministerial association as. from a ministe

rial club that went out to play ball every Saturday afternoon in the o'jtskirts of

Philadelphia. These recreations are grand to give us muscle and spirits for our regular toi 1. I believe in muscular Christianity.. A man is often not so near God with a weak stomach as when he has a strong digestion. But shUu those Who maae it their life occupation to sport. There are young men whose industry and usefulness have fallen overboard from the yacht on the Hudson or the Schuylkill. There are men whose business fell through the ice of the skating pond and has never since been heard of. There is a beauty in the gliding of a boat, in the song of Bkates, in the soaring of a well struck ball, and I never see one fly but I involuntarily throw up my hsnds to catch it; and, so far from laying an injunction upon ball playing or any other innocent sport, I claim them all as belonging of right to those of us who toil in the grand, industries of Church and State. But the life business of pleasure seeking always makes in the end a criminal or a sot. Such men will crowd around your desk or counter or work bench or seek to decoy you off. They will want you to break out in the midst of your busy day to take a ride with them to Coney Island or to Central Park. They Will tell you of some people you must see, of some excursion you must take, of some Sabbath day that you ought to dishonor. They will tell you of exquisite wines tna.t you must take; of costly operas that you must hear; of wonderful dancers that you must see; but before you accept their convoy or their companionfhip remember that, while at the end of a useful life you may be able to look back to kindness done, to poverty helped, to a good name earned, to Christian influence exerted to a Savior's cause ad vanced these pleasure seeker? on their death bed have nothing better to reyiew than a torn play bill, a ticket for the races, an empty tankard and the cast out rinds of a carousal; and as in the delirium of their awful death they clutch the goblet and preasit to their lips, the dregs of the cup falling upon their tongue will begin to hiss and uncoil with the adders ol an eternal poison. Cast out these men from your com

pany. uo not oe inximaie wu-u tueui. Always be polite. There is no demand that you ever sacrifice politeness. Always be courteous, but at the same time be firm. Learn to say no as if you meant it. Have it understood in store, and shop, and street, that you will not stand in the companionship of the skeptic, the idle, .the pleasure seeker. . Bather than enter the companionsnip of such, accept the invitation to a better feast. The promises of God are the frnits. The harps of heaven are the music. Clusters from the vineyards oi God have been pressed into, the tankards. The sons and the daughters of the Lord .Almighty are the guests. While, standing at the banquet, to fill the cups and divide the clusters and command the harps and welcome the gueBts, is a daughter of God on whose brow are the blossoms of paradise, and in whose cheek is the flush of celestial summer. Her name is Religion. Decide this soon, oh, young man, what direction you will take. There comes such a moment of final decision why not this? . The Human Breath a oison. The Paris corr espondent of the Medical Press and Circular reports that the last meeting of the ... Academie des Sciences, Prof. Brown-Sequard referred to some experiment he had conducted, with a review to determine what, ii anv, were the toxic effects of the human breath. In condensing the watery vapor coming from the human lungs, he obtained a poisonous liquid capable of producing almost immediate death. This poison is an alkaloid (organic), and not a microbe or a series of mi

A Bishop's "Bogus" Coin.

Pall Mall Gazette.

Dr. Billings, bishop of Bedford, tells

an amusing story aoout an juasc enu

church collection. It appears that the

bishop had been preaching to a very poor congregation, and that when the plate was handed round, moved by com-

panssion, he contributed a sovereign to

it. While disrobing m me vestry he

inquired of one of the church wardens

what sort of a collection there had

been. '.'Better than usual, thanks to

your lordship," was the reply; "we have

got several coins and a quantity of cop

per, mere is a sovereign ajso, out that

of course is a bogus one." The bishop

held his peace, but must have been slightly chagrined at the miscarriage of his liberality. Later he ventured to inquire of the other church wardens

what the collection had amounted to.

"Seventeen and eightpence halfpennymuch better than usual," was the answer cheerfully given. The prelate

does not divulge whether or not he

pocketed his modesty, and confessed

that some acquaintance with the golden coin enabled him to vouch for its

genuineness.
