THE GNAT AND CAMEL
DR. TALMAGE PORTRAYS SOME OF
THE HYPOCRITES OF TODAY.
The Man Who Scorns a Petty Thief, but
Rob the Public In Trade Villainy in
the Cirain Market Perjury In Frmling
Taxes Smuggling ami Uribery.
Brooklyn, March 27. The tendency
formalism in religion and to hypo
tritical pretense in society received a
revere castigation from the pulpit of the
Brooklyn Tabernacle this morning:. Dr.
Talmago made a vigorous onslaught
upon it, basing his remarks on the text
Matthew xxiii, 24, "Ye blind guides,
who strain at a gnat and swallow a
camel."
A proverb is compact wisdom, knowl
edge in chunks, a library in a sentence,
the electricity of many clouds discharged
in one bolt, a river put through a mill
race. When Christ quotes the proverb
of the text, he means to set forth the lu
dicrous behavior of those who make a
great bluster about small sins and have
no appreciation of great ones. '
In my text a small insect and a large
qnadruped are brought into comparison
a gnat and a camel, iou have m
museum or on the desert seen the latter,
a great awkward, sprawling creature,
with back two stories high and stomach
having a coKection of reservoirs for des
ert travel, an animal forbidden to the
Jews as food, and in many literatures
entitled "the ship of the desert." The
gnat spoken of in the text is in the grub
form. It is born in pool or pond, after
a few weeks becomes a chrysalis, and
then after a few days becomes the gnat
as we recognize it. But the insect
spoken of in the text is it very small
est shape and it yet inhabits the water-
for my text i3 a misprint and ought to
read "strain out a gnat.
My text shows you the prince of incon
sistencies. A man after long observa
tion has formed the suspicion that in a
cnp of water he is about to drink there
is a grub or the grandparent of a gnat,
Ho goes and gets a sieve or strainer. He
takes the water and pours it through the
sieve in the broad light. He says,
would rather do anything almost than
unnk tins water until this larva De ex
tirpated." This water is brought under
inquisition. The experiment is success
ful. The water rushes through the sieve
and leaves against the side of the sieve
the grub or gnat. Then the man care
fully removes the insect and drinks the
water in placidity.
But going out one day, and hungry, he
devours a "ship of the desert," the camel,
which the Jews were forbidden to eat.
The gastronomer has no compunctions
of conscience. He suffers from no indi
' gestion. He puts the lower jaw under
the camel's forefoot and his upper jaw
over the hump of the camel's back, and
gives one swallow and the dromedary
disappears forever. He strained out a
gnat, he swallowed a camel.
THE SELF RIGHTEOUS PHARISEES.
While Christ's audience were yet smil
ing at the appositeness and wit of his
illustration for smile they did in
church, unless they were too stupid to
understand the hyperbole Christ prac
tically said to them, "That is you."
I'unctilons about small things; reckless
alvout affairs of great magnitude. No
Miliject ever withered under a surgeon's
knife more bitterly than did the Phari
peew under Christ's scalpel of truth.
As an anatomist will take a human
Ixnly to pieces and put them under a
microscope for examination, so Christ
finds his way to the heart of the dead
Pharisee and cuts it out and puts it nn
lr tba glass of inspection for all gen
trations to examine. Those Pharisees
thought that Christ would flatter them
and compliment them, and how they
must have writhed under the red hot
words as he said, "Ye fools, ye whited
sepulchers, ye blind guides, which strain
out a gnat and swallow a camel."
, There are in our day a great many
gnats strained out and a great many
camels swallowed, and it is the object
of this sermon to sketch a few persons
who are extensively engaged in that
business.
First, I remark that all those minis
ters of the Gospel are photographed in
thn text, who .are verv sertmulons lonr.
the conventionalities of religion, but
put no particular stress upon matters of
vast importance. Church services ought
to be grave and solemn. There is no
room for frivolity in religious convoca
tion. But there are illustrations, and
there are hyperboles like that of Christ
in the text that will irradiate with smiles
any intelligent auditory.
There are men like those blind guides
of the text who advocate only those
things in religious service which draw
the corners of the mouth down and de
nounce all those things which have a
tendency to draw the corners of the
mouth up, and these jnen will go to in
stallations and to presbyteries and to
conferences and to associations, their
pockets full of fine sieves to strain out
the gnats, while in their own churches
iat home every Sunday there are fifty
people sound asleep. They make their
churches a great dormitory, and their
somniferous sermons are a cradle, and
the drawled out hymns a lullaby, while
stune wakeful soul in a pew with her
fan keeps the flies off unconscious per
sons approximate.
- Now, I say Jt is worse to sleep in
church than to smile in church, for the
latter implies at least attention, while
the former implies the indifference of
the hearers and the stupidity of the
speaker. In old age or from physical
infirmity, or from long watching with
the sick, drowsiness will sometimes
overpower one, but when a minister of
he Gospel looks off upon an audience
and finds healthy and intelligent people
straggling with drowsiness, it is time
for him to give out the doxology or pro
Tiounce the benediction. The great fault
fuf church services today is not too much
vivacity, but too much somnolence. The
one is an irritating gnat that may be
easily strained out; the other is a great,
sprawling and sleepy eyed camel of the
dry desert. In all our Sabbath schools,
in ' nil our Bible classes, in all our pul
pits we need to brighten up our religious
message with such Christlike vivacity
as we find in the text.
WIT AND PATHOS IN THE PULPIT.
I take down from my library the biog
raphies of ministers and writers of past
Hges, inspired and uninspired, who have
done the most to bring souls to Jesus
Christ, and I find that without a single
exception they consecrated their wit and
Iheir humor to Christ. Elijah used it
when he advised the Baalites, as they
rould not make their god respond, tell
ing them to call louder, as their god
might be sound asleep or gone a-hunt-ing.
" Job used it when he said to his
self conceited comforters, "Wisdom will
die with yon." Christ not only used it
in the text, but when he ironically com
plimented the putrefied Pharisees, say
ing, "The whole need not a physfcian,"
and when by one word he described the
cunning of Herod, saying, "Go, ye, and
tell that fox."
Matthew Henry's "Commentaries"
from the first page to the last corus
cated with humor as summer clouds
with heat lightning. John Bnnyan's
writings are asfull of humor as they are
of saving truth, and there is not an aged
man here who has ever read "Pilgrim's
Progress" who does not remember that
while reading it he smiled as often as he
wept. Chrysostom, George Herbert,
Robert South, John Wesley, George
Whitefield, Jeremy Taylor, Rowland
Hill, Nettleton, George G. Finney and
all the men of the past who greatly ad
vanced the kingdom of God consecrated
their wit and their humor to the cause
of Christ.
So it has been in all the ages, and I
fay jto these-young theological students
who cluster in these services Sabbath by
Sabbath, sharpen your wits as keen as
scimiters and then take them into this
holy war. It is a very short bridge be
tween a smile and a tear, a suspension
bridge from eye to lip, and it is soon
crossed over, and a smilo is sometimes
just as sacred as a tear. There is as
much religion, and I think a little more,
in a spring morning than in a starless
midnight.
Religious work without any humor or
wit in it is a banquet with a side of beef,
and that raw, and no condiments and no
dessert succeeding. People will not sit
down at such a banquet. By all means
remove all frivolity and all 'bathos and
all lightness and, all vulgarity strain
them out through the sieve of holy dis
crimination; but on the ot her hand, la?
ware of that monster which overshadows
the Christian church today, convention
ality, coming up from the Great Sahara
desert of Ecclesiasticism, having on its
back a hump of sanctimonious gloom
and vehemently refuse to swallow that
camel.
Oh, how particular a great many peo
ple are about the infinitesimals while
they are quite reckless about the magni
tudes. What did Christ say? Did he
not excoriate the people in his time who
were so careful to wasli their hands be
fore a meal, but did not wash their
hearts. It is a bad thing to have un
clean hands; it is a worse thing to ha ve
an unclean heart. How many people
there are in our time who are very anx
ious that after their death they shall bo
buried with their feet toward the east,
and not at all anxious that during their
whole life they should face in the right
direction so that they shall come up in
the resurrection of the just whichever
way they are buried. How many there
are chiefly anxious that a minister of the
Gospel shall come in the line of apostolic
succession, not caring so much whether
he comes from Apostle Paul or Apostle
Judas. They have a way of measuring
a gnat until it is larger than a camel.
THE UNRIGHTEOUS SPECULATOR.
Again: My subject photographs all
those who are abhorrent of small sins
while they are reckless in regard to mag
nificent thefts. Yon will find many a
merchant who, while he is so careful
that he would not take a yard of c loth
or a spool of cotton from the co: inter
without paying for it, and who if a bank
cashier should make a mistake and send
in a roll of bills five dollars too much
would dispatch a messenger in hot haste
to return the surplus, yet who will go
into a stock company in which after
awhile he gets control of the stock, and
then waters the stock and makes $100,000
appear like $200,000. He only stole
$100,000 by the operation. Many of the
men of fortune made their wealth in
that way."
One of those men, engaged in such un
righteous acts, that evening, the evening
of the very day when he watered the
stock, will find" a wharf rat stealing an
evening newspaper from the basement
doorway, and will go out and catch the
urchin by the collar, and twist the collar
so tightly the poor ieiiow ran not say
that it was thirst for knowledge that led
him to the dishonest act, but grip the
collar tighter and tighter, saying, "I
have been looking for you a long while;
you stole my paper four or five times,
haven't you? vou miserable wretch."
And then the old stock gambler, with a
voice they can hear three blocks, will
cry out, "Police! Police!"
That same man, the evening of tne day
m winch he watered tne stoc-K, win
kneel with his family in prayer and
thank God for the prosperty of the day,
then kiss his children good night with
an air which seems to say, "I hoie you
will all grow up to be as good as your fa
ther." Prisons for sins msectile m size,
but palaces for crimes dromedarian. No
mercy for sins animalcule in proportion,
but great leniency for mastodon iniquity.
It is time that we learn m America
that sin is not excusable m proportion
as it declares large dividends and has
ftt riders in equipage. Many a man is
riiling to perdition laist-ilion ahead and
l-.irlmv lwliind Til Rfp.il II dolhic i il
gnat; to steal many thousands of dollars I
is a camel. There is many a fruit dealer I
who would not consent to steal a basket
of peaches from a neighbor's stall, but
who would not scruple to depress the
fruit market; and as long as I can re
member we have heard every summer
the peach crop of Maryland is a failure,
and by the time the crop comes in the
misrepresentation makes a difference of
millions of dollars. A man who would
not 6tal one peach basket steals fifty
thousand peach baskets.
Any summer go down into the Mer
cantile library, in the reading rooms,
and see the newspaper reports of the
crops from all parts of the country, and
their phraseology is very much the same,
and the same men wrote them, method
ically and infamously carrying out the
huge lying about the grain cropjrom
year to year and for a score of years.
After awhile there is a "corner" in the
wheat market, and men who had a con
tempt for a petty theft will burglarize
the wheat bin of a nation and commit
larceny upon the American corncrib.
And men will sit in churches and in re
formatory institutions trying to strain
out the small gnats of scoundrelism,
while in their grain elevators and in
their storehouses they are fattening huge
camels which they expect after awhile
to swallow. Society has to be entirely
reconstructed on this subject. We are
to find that a sin is inexcusable in pro
portion as it i; i re.it.
THE WORLD'S SNEER AT A FALLEN CHRIS
TIAN. I know in our time the tendency is to
charge religions frauds upon good men.
They say, "Oh, what a class of frauds
you have in the church of God in this
day," and when an elder of a church, or
a deacon, or a minister of the Gospel, or
a superintendent of a Sabbath school
turns out a defaulter, what display heads
there are in many of the newspapers.
Great primer type. Five line pica.
"Another Saint Absconded," "Clerical
Seoundrelisin," "Religion at a Dis
count," "Shame on the Churches," while
there are a thousand scoundrels outside
the church to where there is one in
side the church, and the misbehavior of
those who never see the inside of a
church is so great it is enough to tempt
a man to become a Christian to get out
of their company.
But in all circles, religions and irre
ligious, the tendency is to excuse sin in
proportion m it is mammoth. Even
John Milton in his "Paradise Lost,"
while ho condemns satan, gives such a
grand description of him you have hard
work to suppress your admiration. Oh,
this straining out of small sins like
gnats, and this gulping down of great
iniqnities like camels.
This subject docs not give the picture
of one or two persons, but is a gallery
in which thousands of people may see
their likenesses. For instance, all those
people who, while they would not rob
their neighbor of a farthing, appropriate
the money and the treasure of the pub
lic. A man has a house to sell, and he
tells his customer it is worth $20,000.
Next day the assessor comes around and
the owner says it is worth jjsl.,000. The
government of the United States took
off the tax from personal income, among
other reasons, because so few people
would tell the truth, and many a man
with an income of hundreds of dollars a
day made statements which seemed to
imply he was abont to be handed over
to the overseer of the poor.
Careful to pay their passage from
Liverpool to New York, yet smuggling
in their Saratoga trunk ton silk dresses
from Paris and a half dozen watches
from Geneva, Switzerland, telling the
custom house officer on tho wharf,
"There is nothing jn that trunk but
wearing apparel," and putting a five
dollar gold piece in his,; hand to punctu
ate the statement. .
Described in the texj are all those who
are particular never to break tho law
of grammar and who want all their
language an elegant specimen of syn
tax, straining out all tho inaccuracies of
speech with a fine sieve of literary criti
cism, whilo through their conversation
go slander and innuendo and profanity
and. falsehood larger than a whole caraj; i
van of camels, when they might better
fracture every law of the language and
shock their intellectual taste, and better
let every verb seek in vain for its nom
inative and every noun for its govern
ment, and every preposition lose its way
in the sentence and adjectives and par
ticiples and pronouns get into a grand
riot worthy of the Fourth ward on elec
tion day, than to commit a moral inac
curacy. Better swallow a thousand
gnats than one camel.
THE CENSORIOUS HYPOCRITE.
Such persons are also described in the
text who are very much alarmed about
the small faults of others, and have no
alarm about, their own great transgres
sions. There are in every community
and in every church watchdogs who
feel called upon to keep their eyes on
others and growl. They are full of sus
picions. They wonder if that man is not
dishonest, if that man is not unclean, if
there is not something wrong about the
other man. They are always the first to
hear of anything wrong. Vultures are
always the first to smell carrion. They
are self appointed detectives. I lay this
down as a rule without any exception,
that those people who have tho most
faults themselves are most merciless in
their watching of others. From scalp
of head to solo of foot they aro full of
jealousies and hypercriticisins.
They spend their life in hunting for
muskrats and mud turtles instead of
hunting for Rocky mountain eagles, al
ways for something mean instead of
something grand. They look at their
neighbors' imperfections tlirough a mi
croscope and look at their own imper
fections through a teloscopo upside
down. Twenty faults of their own do
not hurt them half so much as one
fault of somebody else. Their neigh
bors' imperfections are like gnats and
they strain them out ; their own imper
fections are like camels and they swal
low them.
But lest ar.y might think they escape
the scrutiny of the text I have to tell
yon that wo all come under the divine
satire when we make the questions of
time more prominent than the questions
of eternity. Come now, let us all go
into the confessional. Are not all
tempted to make the question, Where
shall I live now? greater than the ques
tion. Where shall I live torever.J How
shall I get more dollars here? greater
than the question, How shall I lay up
treasures in heaven? the question, How
shall I pay my debts to man? greater
than the Question, How shall I meet
my obligations to God? the ques
tion, How shall I gain the world?
greater than tho question, What if
I lose my soul? the question, Why did
God let sin come into the world? greater
than tho question. How shall I get it
extirpated from my nature? the ques
tion, What shall I do with the twenty
or forty or seventy years of my sublunar
existence? greater than the question,
What shall I do with the millions of
cycles of my post-terrestrial existence?
Time, how small it is! Eternity, how
vast it is! The former more insignificant
in comparison with the latter than a
gnat is insignificant when compared
With a camel. We dodged the text. We
said, "That doesn't mean me, and that
doesn't mean me," and with a ruinous
benevolence we are giving the whole
sermon away.
But let us all surrender to the charge.
What an ado about things here. What
poor preparation for a great eternity.
As though a minnow were larger than a
behemoth, as though a swallow took
wider circuit than an albatross, as
though a nettle were taller than a Le
banon cedar, as though a gnat were
greater than a camel, as though a iniu
uto were longer than a century, as
though time were higher, deeper, broad
er than eternity. So the text which
flashed with lightning of wit as Christ
uttered it, is followed by the crashing
thunders of awful catastrophe to those
who make the questions of time greater
than the questions of the future, the on-
coining, overshadowing future. Oh,
Eternity 1 Eternity! Eternity!
Importance of Nice doves.
Many a xrson goes out with shabby
ripped, soiled gloves and tries to believe
that no ono will notice. At one time
some very voung ladies started the re
mark that soiled light gloves were the
style. For a time others followed what
they supposed was the fashion, but lost
-self respect by so doing.
No woman is well dressed unless she
is well gloved and well shod. No mat
ter how fine the other raiment may be,
if soiled or ragged gloves are worn the
fine effect is ruined. There wras a wom
an on Washington street one day who
who wore a black velvet dress and man
tle heavily trimmed with jot. There
wero diamonds like headlights in her
ears. The black gloves were ragged and
the color had worn off, her shoes were
down at the heel and most of tho but
tons were gone. The two items of her
attire that should have marked the lady
were wanting.
Gloves are abused not only in the care
less wearing but in tho way in which
they are kept. Pulling them off wrong
side out and leaving them so or winding
them up in bunches does not improve
them.
When tho glove is taken off carefully
it shonhl be pulled into shape, and if the
hands are inclined to moisture they
should be blown full of air and hung up
to dry foi- a few minutes, then should be
put in a box. Evening gloves should be
put in tissue paper, suit gloves should be
worn only with the dress which they
match. Indianapolis Journal.
Homo Nightmare Tales.
The Rev. John Campinus, a Swedish
preacher who came to America in Feb
ruary, 1042, and landed at "The Rocks,"
within the present limits of the city of
Wilmington, Del., was either troubled
with the nightmare or was the worst liar
ever produced by the Scandinavian na
tion. Below I give a few samples of his
able yarns:
"There Is a kind of fly here which the
natives call 'cucuyo,' and which in the
night time gives so strong a light that it
is sufficient when a -inan is traveling to
show him tho way, I haye often trav
eled tho darkest nights with no torch
but one of these flics made fast to my
cap."
Further along, in his "New Sweden,"
the Rev. John says, "There is here also
a serpent which has a head like a dog
and can bite off a man's head as clear as
if it had been cut off with an ax.
There is also a serpent which has little
seeds in a pocket in his head, and by
wagging tho same tho rattle may be
heard 100 yards."
A species of crab which he pientions
had "a tail an ell long anil niade jike p,

down trees." St. Louis Republic.

lav in waiting on the morning of April 11,
181. Captain .lack hail broken his pledges
nuaiu and airain within a few days pre
ceding the "peace talk." which he made
the cover of u most barbarous massacre.
Friendly Indians, who knew the Modoes'
purposes, scouts, and above all a squaw,
who had the privileges of Cant. .lack's
lair, and learned by unerring signs that
mischief was on foot, warned the army
leaders and Indian commissioners not to
trust themselves within reach of the Mo
unt's. It was a singular state of alTairs
there tit the Lava Beds of Tide lake, with
an ''army with banners" on one side and a
handful of fugitives outlawed savages
on the ot her. The troops numbered several
hundred, the larger part being regulars,
provided with the best implements of war,
including cannon. The iinlian warriors
numbered about t wo score, and had good
small arms, but not much ammunition.
The United States forces had been in the
lield for months upon an expedition to
force the Modocs to go upon a reservation.
Several battles had been fought and the
Modocs, generally victorious, had secured
ammunition fr.:.i the dead soldiers. The
position occupied by the Indians hail given
them the upp r band in many a desperate
fight with giv.:t odds. It was in a barren
region known as the I,nv:i Bods, where
volcanic upheavals have left7i regular
series of ridges, broken at the surface by
deep crevices running both, lengthwise and
crosswise. The crevices formed hidden
passages for the Indians to move nbout,
and where it suited their purposes they
blocked them against the invading troops
by rolling huge rocks down from uImjvc.
The army officers reported that one man
in the Lava Beds could keep twenty at a
distance.
When matters reached a crisis, however, i
the army surrounded the place, and with
its cannon and mounted troops was in
a fair way to win at all points But be

of the plains is known as a "peace talk,"

when the scalping knives of the Modocs
were dripping with blood and their victims

Ou the contrary, he was a friend of the red

as far back as the Seminole t rouble. But

grievances.
In the early days of California, 1S4T to
1840, they destroyed many whites and were
afterward whipped by Capt. Nathaniel
Lyon's forces for their forays upon set
tiers. In ls.",2 the settlers organized, and
after a terrible massacre invited the Mo
docs to a "peace talk" and killed -II out of
40 warriors who responded. Naturally,
(savage tradition didn't allow that sort of
negotiation to die out of remembrance.
After years of war, in which they got tho
worst of it, of course, they ceded their
lands and agreed to go on a reservation.

on the defensive. During I'Vltruary and
March the peace commissioners tried their
hands and reported failure. One request
of Captain Jack was that the conimis
sioners, with six unarmed men, moot the
full Modoc baud. Late in March, the sec
rotary of the interior asked that Gen
Canby take sole charge of t he negotiations
and, acting under instructions from the
interior department and army hoadqiiar
ters, he marched upon the Modoc lair, vit
tually holding t he sword in one hand and
t he olive branch in the other. The Lava
IJt'ds wore surrounded, ho soldiery al
tempting to cut ofT the Indian supplies
and to prevent their escape.
Thus matters stood when Capt. Jack re
quested a "peace talk" at a tent three
fourths of a mile outside the army lines on
April II. He specified that lien Canby and
(jpl. (iil)eni, who w.ts in immediate coin
inaud of (he troops, and the commission
c.rs, Meaclioiu, Dyar and )r. Thomas
should moot himself, Sehopcliiq and fwo
or throe others. The mediators for ibis in
torview were two Modocs, Boston Charley
find Bogus Charley, who entered Canity's
camp (Hi the Kith with the message from
their chief, mid Bogus Charley remained
over night. Boston Charley passed the
night in the Lava Bedsand on tin-morning
of the 11th returned to the army camp and
snid it was all right. Capt. Jack would lie
ou hand to negotiate for a reservation.
i Canity's camp at the lime there was a
while interpreter name Kiddle, whose
wife was a Modoc loyal to her husband's
friends. The squaw known as "Tobe'
frequently visited the Lava Bods, and
about the time that Captain Jack's nlti
tilde was apparent ly for peace she insisted
that he was meditating treachery. On tho
night that Bogus Charley and Boston
Charley came in with their proposal she
became more earnest than before ami
bogged the officers and commissioners to
jmt no faith in tho matter. On the morn
ing of t he conference she and her husband
joined in their pleas and declared that if
the party would go they "washed their
hands of the whole mat tor. " When the
hour arrived Gen Canhy, Monchem. ()yor

show forbearance and display confidence in
dealing with the ignorant ami misguided

go on.
The Indians finally took the floor, and at
that moment their crafty brethren back in

The talk had lasted two hours, when
Schonchin took up the Modoc cause and
Captain Jack retired from t he circle. The
next move was the appearance of two
strange Modocs at a point mar by with
their arms full of rifles. This was h signal
that the attack on' the army out posts was
under way. Captain Jack, coming up from

What onti'i'tainiii siht:-, ouo boos
uptown thcsiMlays! The phenomenal
weather has sent tho wholo popula
tion into the streets in itsltest clothefl.
Tho cheerful, ..rosperous looking,
well dressrvl throng is in itself in in
epirintf siht. It is too attractive ns
a wholo to lio lost in detail, but oc
casionally some novelty or piquancy
of costiHiw detaches itself to tho cyo.
A brilliant looking blond had on a
cloak of n,sebud -strewn velvet. It
had a flowing back, such as women
and dressmakers call after Wattoau.
It was tho wtrt of garment that would
lie advised to meet your husband in
at breakfast by thoso who deplore
the curl paper toilets of wives. Bjt
this lady woro it with payety on tho
street, and she added to the entertain
ment of the spectacle.
Another wore n grass green cos
tume with a Louis Quinzo coat of tho
8am o material with deep velvet cuds
and itockets. Fho had a flower par
den hat on her head and carried a
stick. There was a knowingness in
her costume and a confidence in her
rococo air of wearing it which every
woman would know only comes fiom
the sanction of some great dress
maker. (ireen announces itself as the min
ing color. Other women woro what
the farmer would call posies. But
these wero of green velvet, with deep
frills belted around the waists and
man' jingling, tinkling ornaments
of jet, steel and gilt, (ireen is tho
ruling color now in London, and was
to lie expected. It is said to throw
out the complexion, i rticularly of
the warm blonds with bronze colored
hair.
But it is not tho women alone who
give color and interest to tho street.
The windows of the men's furnishing
shops liKtk like aviaries filled with
bright lined birds. Tho decorative
value of neckties can only bo appre
ciated when seen in their brilliant
reds, blues and violets hung, line re
peating line, like a lievy of birds
poised a moment, in flight. There is
nothing in woman's gear that pro
duces such brilliant and striking i'f
fects in color, not even parasols hung
in air like a .roup of strange orchids,
nor the coquettish 1 toots and slipjiers
of satin on which the mind may erect
tho fitting structure as Cuvier reeou
structed the animal from a liono, but
a pleasanter process, verily.
And who would forego from tho
gayety of tho street tho man with
the woolly pups, the fakirs with their
walking dolls, circus rulers and me
chanical toys? Each gathers its own
curie from the hurrying throng.
Bank presidents, district messenger
boys, tine ladies, working girls and
children lind they have a common
interest. Tho fakir serves a great
public end. Tho rush and press of
city lifo is hard enough on the strong
est nerves. Any trifle that can in
terrupt this with a little wholesome
human interest serves a useful end
