GENERAL PROSPERITY..
Me Says We Are at the Opening Door of
Good Tinel's—Why so Many Bon Foil by

Soul.'
New York, July 7.—In his sermon for
to -day Dr. Talmage, who is absent on
his western lecturing tour, chose a sub-
ject of universal interest—viz, "Business
Troubles" -the text selected being Hze=
kiel xxvit, 1..'i; "These were thy merchants
in all sorts of things '"
We are at the opening: door of return-
ing, national prosperity. The coming
crops, the ro-establishment of public con-
fidenoo anti, above .all, the blessing of
God will turn in upon all' amnions of
America the widest, greatest prosperity
this country has ever seen. But that
door of success is not yet fully open,
and thousands of business men are yet
suffering from thea distressing times
through which we have been passing.
s Some of the best men in the land have
faltered, men whose hearts are enlisted
in every good work and whose hands
have' blessed every great charity. The
church of God can afford to extend to
them her sympathies and plead before
heaven with all -availing prayer. The
schools such men have established, the
churches they have built, the asylums
and ,beneficent institutions they have
fostered,'' will be their eulogy long after
their banking institatioris_are forgotten.
Such men can never fail. They have
their treasures in banks that never break
'and will be inillionaires forever. But I
thought it would be appropriate to -day,
and useful, for me to talk about the trials
and temptations of our business men and.
try to offer some curative prescriptions.
In the first place, I have to remark that
a great many of our business men feel
ruinous trials and temptations coming to
then from small and limited capital in
business. It is everywhere understood
that it takes now three or four times as
much to do business writ as once it did.
Once a few hundred dollars were turned
into goods—the merchant would be his
own store sweeper, his own salesman,
his own bookkeeper; he would manage all
the affairs himself, and everything would
be net profit. Wonderful changes have
Doane; costly apparatus, extensive adver-
tising, exorbitant store rents, heavy tax-
ation, expensive agencies are only parts
of the demand made upon our commercial
men, and when they have found them-
selves in such circumstances with small
capital, they have sometimes been tempt-
ed to run against the rocks of moral and
financial destruction. This temptation
of limited capital bas ruined men in two
ways. Sometimes they have sunk down
under the temptation. They have yield-
ed the battle before the first shot was
fired. At the first hard dun they sur-
rendered. Their knees knocked together
at the fall of the auctioneer's hammer.
They blanched at the financial peril.
They did not .understand that there is
such a thing as heroism in merchandise
and that there are Waterloos of the coun-
ter and that a man can fight . no braver
battle with the sword than he can with
the yardstick. Their souls melted in
them because sugars were up when they
wanted to sell and unsalable goods were
on the shelf and bad debts in their ledger.
The gloom of their countenances over.
shadowed even their dry goods and gro-
ceries. Despondency, coming from lim-
ited capital, blasted them. Others have
felt it in a different way. They have
said: "Here I have been trudging along;
I have been trying to be bonest all these
years. I find it is of no use. Now it is
make or break." The small craft that
could have stood the stream is put out
beyond the lighthouse, on the great sea
of speculation. He borrows a few thou-
sand dollars from friends who dare not
refuse him, and he goes bartering on a
large scale.
He reasons in this way: "Perhaps I
may succeed, and if I don't I will be no
worse off than I' am now, for $100, OOO,taken
from nothing nothing remains." Stocks
are the dice with which he gambles. He
bought for a few dollars vast tracts of
western land Some man at the east liv-
ing on a fat homestead, meets this gam-
bler of fortune and is persuaded to trade
off his estate for lots in a western city with
large avenues, and costly palaces, and
lake steamers smolang at the wharves,
and rail trains coming down with light-
ning speed from every direction. Thera
it is all on paper. The city has never been
built, nor the railroads constructed, but
everything points that way, and the thing
will be done as sure as you live. Well, the
man goes on, stopping at no fraud or out-
rage. In his splendid equipage he dashes
past, while the honest laborer looks up
and wipes the sweat from his brow and
says, "I wonder where that'aman got all
his money." After awhile the bubble
bursts. Creditors rush in. The law clutch-
es, but finds nothing in its grasp. The
men who were swindled say, "I don't
know how I could have ever been de-
ceived by that man," and the pictorials
in handsome wood outs set forth the hero
who in ton years had genius enough to
fail for $160,000.
And that is the process by which
many have been tempted through limita-
tion. o1 • ettptal ,:to •a rush into 'labyrinths fui

I would not want to chain honest
enterprise. I would not want to block ml

notions of what are lawful spheres of at

God, ands the ministers of religion, and 1i

These are the influences that drown tl�t

New Designs in Skirts.
The skirt is the important part of the
costume nowadays, and has added wonder-
fully to the amount of dress goods now
necessary. The regular godet or organ -
plait skirt is very stylish, but is not fit
for a dress that -one expects to do much
sitting in. This is from four yards and a
half to eight yards in width, and the best
dressmakers now interline the entire back
with hairoloth, and either fade the re
niainder of tho skirt twenty inchesdeep
with it or interline the remainder with
grassoloth, which must not be confound-
ed with hairoloth. The godet plaits at
the back require an elastic band ten
inches below the belt and caught across
each plait. All shirts for the street
should clear the ground. •If a skirt is,
interlined with haircloth it should have
an inch extra length allowed, as hair-
oloth does not give nor sag like an ordin-
ary lining. A tiny band of flexible steel
covered with webbing is sometimes run
in between the lining and interlining of
skirts an inch from the edge. Sometimes
a second and even a third row is used,
placing them two inches apart. Skirts
that open on the left side aro less apt to
sag than if opened in the centre back.
The pocket is placed in the side bank
seam on the right, and should be faoeo
with the material. Bind skirts so that
the velveteen binding just projects be-
neath the edge of the dress goods; hem
down the upper edge and press. Baste
tho binding to the skirt before stitching it
and tho upper edge down before hem-
ming.
The Pota•o cure.
An Eastern man who has been indulging
in cucumbers, or something, else, relates
the following incident as a matter of per-
sonal experience:
Ono thee, about two months after I
had signed the pledge, I had a cravin; for a
drink of whisky so strong that I could see
nothing, but drinks about me, and felt
that I must have et least ono drink. I told
a friend of my state of mind.
"He said, 'You need not drink. I can
tell you of a substitute that will stop your
discomfort. Got a raw potato and a bows
of ice water, peel the potato and cut down
ono end of it to a size convenient to take
in the mouth. Dip the potato in the ice
water and suck it every time you think
you must have the 'whisky.'
I did as he advised. I took the bowl of
ice water and the potato and placed them
on the table at the head of my bed and
would dip the potato in water andplace it
bewteen my lips every few minutes until
I fell asleep. I awoke free from any desire
to drink whisky and have boon free from
it ever since. That one treatment has
eradicated lay craving for whisky for all
the time that has since elapsed."

.4 Rival Skirt.
A skirt that will rival the geci•'t shape
among conservative peapio and those
wishing one comfortable to sit in is cut
with the usual front. side and back gores
and darts at the belt, with a width of
four yards to four and. a half. 1t is inter-
lined with grasscloth, or only the back is
interlined and a canvas facing twenty
inches wide finishes the front and•sidos.
The back is laid in two box -plaits at the
belt, which are only pressed, not caught
into position, This came from the Eng-
lish ladies' tailors and can be recom-
mended for outing, general wear, travel
tug and such wear: When last year's
gowns aro made over, the skirt is always
scanty, which can only r be obviated by
Side panels of the second material or an
entire new front. Cotton dresses have a
gored front and sides and full gathered
back, At the bolt the front and sides are
fitted to the figure by a few gathers or
darts; the former is better, however.
Skirts are seldom trimmed, though
French dressmakers aro hinting at fiat
bands to conte. .k en the full skirts aro
becoming to large flgtiros when left un-
trimmed,. as they draw attention acorn the
figure in place of accentuating the wear-
er's size. As stylish skirls tine too heavy

Louis Pasteur is the sou of a tanner,
and he has saved more liyesthan any other
man who ever lived.
He is a paralytic. His hair is white as.
snow, His days are numbered.. But if
his, Walking is ended, the march of pro.
*;rens which he began, still goes irresist-
ibly on; if his hair is white and his eyes
are dull, the memory of his achievements
will stay bright in the memory of the•
World forever; if his life must soon end,
countless lives prolonged will add, their
usefulness to the world's sum total, and
thus testify that his was not lived. in vain.
It is a distinction to have met lam, it is a
privilege to be permitted to even faintly
hint at what he has accomplished.
His work bas grown out of one great
discovery. It was, until he came, the be-
lief of science that organic decomposition
—decay—was the re,aultofpurely chemical,
action. He proved that there is nothing
chemical about it; that decay is merely
the generation of destructive life -of tar-
°robes. Pasteur might almost be spoken
LOUIS Pea.::..
of as the inventor of the microbe. He
proved that there constantly exists in the
las certain forms of life, which, if they
come in contact with a field sympathetic
to their growth, thrive and multiply in-
credibly consuming the substance and
disorganizing it in order to maintain their
own life, He found that decay was the
work of these germs. Thus originated
germinology—bacteriology. Bacteriology
is the basis of almost every great medico -
scientific discovery which has been made
since. The science of curing and the
science of preventing disease have ad-
vanced by leaps and bounds since this
avenue was found.
After he had discovered germs and
their place in the world he discovered
how to use them—how to make them fight
themselves. The virus of certain diseases
was made up of germs. These seemed to
be proof against any enemy to thein which
he was able to create' out of drugs. But
he found that he could attenuate the
virus—that is to say, he could artificially
vary the 'virulence of the germs. He could
make it weak enough so that it would be
apparently without effect, or he could
make it so strong that it would instantly
kill. By weakening It he made it safe to
introduce it into the veins of animals, and
he found that when he had done this those
animals were rendered stronger • in their
resistance. The germs created a property
which was fatal to themselves. It was the
old theory of "similia similibuscurantur"
(like cures like). He made germs fight
germs.
That is the story of his great gifts to
humanity. This is the order in which
they are given:
His first work was turned to the protec-
tion of the animal kingdom. He wiped
out epidemic carbuncle from the stables
of the world and destroyed chicken chol-
era, a disease whose ravages had been
severe and irremediable.
Next came the food supply. His studies
of the diseases of wine, beer and vinegar
have entirely robbed these three import-
ant products of their danger as the origin-
ators and communicators of disease.
When he advanced:' to work upon the
human system ho amazed the whole
world by his utter destruction of such
diseases its lid attacked. Hydrophobia fled
out of the world when he fought it, and
his treatment of it has enabled other men
to take up the battle along similar lines
against other diseases, and to vanquish
them also. His methods of isolation
and disinfection to -day protect the
cities of the earth from coutoga
ous . and infectious diseases, and will,
when fnlly developed, make epidemics
impossible. His aseptic and antiseptic
treatments have cleared hospitals of the
dreadful sores—prurient infection, septi-•
caemia, erysipelas -which formerly so
often followed the surgeon's knife .and
nullified its skill. In lying-in hospitals
especially have his discoveries worked a
revolution by renderin_ puerperal infec-
tion impossible. It is estimated that 50,-
000 mothers' lives have been saved through
this method.

Which nature neer produces;
She's also musical and sings
When asked, nor makes excuses.
And yet not pictured canvas shows
The coloring delicious,

Upon the diii'ner. dishes.

As that whose notes come streaming.

Where cheery coals are gleaning.

The world with joy is looking;
But, of your dainty arts, in sooth,
The daintiest is cooking.

In the preparation of summer gowns
one sometimes forgets to provide for a

A MARINE CAPE.
look more fetching in a wrap which is
made with that in view, than in the most
attractive dress.
One of the wealthy young ladies whose
hobby is yachting, has evidently discover-
ed the above mentioned truth, for she
appears on every possible occasion in a
most startling cape, with a hood, in
which she can nestle her pretty head
until very little is visible, but her two
bright eyes. It is beautifully planned to
protect her hair from the sea breezes
without disarranging it by too close con-
tact. It is made much larger than the
head, and is wired at the edge so as to
stand away from the face. A ruche sewed
inside the hood softens the effect around
the face. The cape is fulland hasa
ruche around the edge. When made of
some dark material this is a remarkably
well -adapted cape for yachting or even for
ocean voyaging.
A'similar wrap may be made of light
colored material and used for an opera
cloak. The same young woman who goes
yachting in her stone gray marine cape,
with its pale -blue lining, wears a lavender

hotel, and looks bewitching in both
Trying is yellow.
Yellow is a color that is becoming to
most women, blonde or brunettes, but
the paler shades that border on straw
color are very trying, particularly if the
complexion bas lost its freshness. To
obviate this, the clever modiste insists on
knots of black and a black , hat, and
presto! the gown and its wearer are in
accord.
.A. gown that is a veritable "dream"
is of pale yellow mousseline de soie, made
with full plain skirt over a lining of silk.
The waist has a shirred front, with bands
of lace insertion between the rows of shir-
ring. Two rosettes of pale yellow are
placed on a line witho the sleeves, and
from them hung to the bottom of the
skirt twoflounces of broad applique lace,
so arranged that it hikes of itself the
shape of a jabot. The gown is very strik-
ing, • but would be almost too colorless
were it not worn with a large black bat
trimmed with feathers. The hat is of
very fine Ioghorn, the brim curved in
and out, and trimmed with a fall of blank
lace. These falls of laces on the hat
brims must not be attempted by amateur
milliners, and only the most expensive
lace looks well. In this case both nail -

and the result is most satisfactory.
A, pale yellow batiste, with knots of
black velvet, and blaok dockade hat,
trimmed with yellow flowers, make a
smart outfit for a garden party and an
exceedingly becoming ono as well.
