HUGGING, CHAUTAUQUA STYLE:
Tinie—Alter Dark; Place—Any Old Corner,
But Sitting Bolt Upright.
The annual moonlight excurelon of
the Brooklyn Chautauqua Union took
place Saturday, and when the big
steamer Grand Repubro backed away
from the Bridge dock at 2 o'clock in
the afternoon there were nearly 1,500
excursionlets aboard. the largest
niunber that ever embarked under the
auspices of the union in all their four-
teen trips. ,
There hax been much said of late
In regard to the union's excursione.
Some people said that last year's
moonlight ride was "off color," and
Mrs. R. C. Talbot Perkins, who was
treasurer of the union until several
months ago, described it as being
"shady." Mrs. Perkins made thin do-
clara•tion last September at a meet-
ing of the union. Lawyer J. A. Sire -
Icy, who le President of the union, had
just finished an opening prayer, in
which he asked for divine guidance In
managing the affairs of the union.
Mrs. Perkins, bearing in mind the
adage, "God helps them that help
themselves," took the floor and said
-that the welfare of the union Would
be much benefited by either abolish-
ing or reforming the anneal summer
excursions. General astonishment fol-
lowed among those present, and Mrs.
Perkins was asked -to explain more
fully. She said there had been a great
deal of dleorderly conduct among the.
excursloniets. She said
Bugging and Kissing
were carried on In a moat vulgar
manner on all parts of the boat, and
that some of the men had been able
to purchase intoxreating liquor on
board.
Many others sided with Mrs. Per-
kins, and there was :ranch discussion
over the matter with the result
that she vaoated the treasurership.
The union is Made up of all the dif-
ferent circles in Brooklyn. Mrs. Per-
kins; belongs to the Careen Circle,
which is minted after the Rev. John
F. Carson', pastor of the Central
Presbyterian Church, who is an hon-
orary member. Most of the members
of the Carson Circle coinciaed with
Mrs. Perkins' views on the matter
and the result was that this circle
became more or less estranged from
the anion, Miss Talbot, a sister of
Mr% Perkins, is President of the ()tr-
ete.
Ever sine° that time everybody in
Chautauqua circles in Brooklyn has4
been talking over the Matter, and
lately it became known outside. A
Brooklyn newspaper several weeks
ago printed a story, telling of the
trouble, and ale° an Interview with
Mrs. Perkins in which she said that

In view of Mire. Perkins' 0,COUSO,

ever a young couple became, too af-
fectionate the light was pointed their
way and a clean breakaway would
inevitably follow. Besides Mr. Gil-
lette and his light there were seven-
teen committeemen detailed at dif-
ferent parts of the boat to prevent
disorderly or unbecoming conduct.
Their duties developed into a task
of separating couples, and never did
a prize-fight referee work harder.
These seventeen Chautauquans are
all churchmen. Some are Sunday
echool teachers, choir singers, and
contribution collectors., so they were
not at all lenient. However, a con- 1 'BUt as for successes, commercially

NOVELS AND NOVELISTS
I smoked a pipe the other day with
Mr. Quiller -Couch 111 his study at
Fowey.
As we ielked an equinoctial gale
imeled great gusts of spray from the
English Channel up the Fowey River,
and the rain was whirled past "te,'a"
Cornish windows in a long, grey
shivering cloud. We drew our chairs
to the fire, and -mea 0'111m -we
talked about novels aud the lady

I .mentioned Mr. 'Justin McCarthy's
recent article in the Daily Mail. "He

are worked out, and that the new

"But the lady noveliet doesn't think

"Wamen," answered "Ch" begin-

"think cif no other subject than what
they call the sex problem. So far
they are within their rights. Passion

tetegh you remeinber Sophoelee telle
or how that poor Argonaut suffered
from a wound whieli was so Offensive
that his compeniOrie had to leave

There Is tbe incident ; but we are

with the white race, which Is the
latest in marrying of all races.
Teachers among the negroes of
the south, in the Philippines, in
Polynesia, and in Australia, tell us
that the dark-skinned children in
their schools; are brighter than Lite
white children, yet we /pow look
for great men among thee races,
and we would hot flnd them if we
did look.
MI oe the great men, of the
world, like Aristotle, Bacon, Cepa
ler and Franklin, have been sons
of very old men. When eminent men
like King David and Catoe of Rome,
the .elder William Pitt, and certain
branches of the Dana, Lee tend Liv-
ingston familiee of Arnerica have
sone late in life, the eminence is
exentinued to the next generation,
but' when eminent men like Ark -
weight, Bulwer-Lytton, Coleridge,
,Cromwell, Peter the Great and
Solomon have sons in early life, the
eminence immediately disappears/.
Another good illustration may be
found in the British nobility. Each
noble family laving with an emin-
ent man, and the noble branch Is
continued down through the eldeet
son. It hes been a frequently ob-
served .fact that the eminence is
very rarely continued to the third
generation, and uetialiv disappears
in the /second. It is tree) that emin-
ent men have been produeed in these
noble families, but during the 800
years in which the lair of primo-
geniture has been in force every
such case has come about through
some aceident which luta eliminated
the eldest of the eldest, and has
brought in some younger branch to
inherit the title.
The conclusion to be drawl from
this is that pyrnig men shod" not
marry before they are 81 Neither
should they remain old bachelors
beyond 80. Unmarried people do not

PRACTICAL SURVEY.
The scene or 'Inc lesson Is at the
foot of Mount Sinai. Israel' had seen
Gozl•s power at the Red Sea in de-
livering them from Pharaoh and the
Egyptians (Ex. xiv. 15); at the en-
tering of the wilderness .of sin, in
the giving of the quails and the
Trauma (Ex. xvi.); at Rephiclim, or
Meribab, in the smiting of the rock
Nom which the waters gushed forth,
and now they are assembled to hear
the ISAV given by their -great deliv-
erer who has brought them up out
of the land of Egypt, and demands
from them obedience to His law-.
The first commandment asserts the
supremacy of God, and demands that
he shall be first in all things. If God
be what He declares himself in His
word to be Be is undoubtedly entitled
to the highest place. He only is pos-
sessed of underived existence, exist-
ing by His own power Independent of
all others. Ex. Ili. 1e, 111; Psa. xe. 2.
Ho 18 teepee= in power. By Him all
things were created, and by Film all
things are upheld.
The second commandment forbids
the making of any image to repre-
sent Ged or to be worshipped as God
and prohibits Idolatry of every kind,
All efforts, to represent God to the
eye have tended only to givo false
ideals of God and to debase men. As
men's copceptioes of God ere lefty
and sublime, or low and baize, tliey
are elevated or lowered in the scale
of moral being.
The third commandment forbids
profanity, blasphemy and all irrever-
ent and unnecessary use of tho name
of God. One so great, so high, so holy,
is Worthy of the deepest reverence
from alt Hie creatures. Every fol-
lower Of Christ Rhould cultivattz pro-
found reverence for the sacred name,
never, even In prayer or testimony,
using It ininecesettrily. One of the
fleet leesons to be Instilled into the
minds Of the young hi reverence for
God and all that pertains) to His
sOrVice.
The fourth coMiriandnient reserves
tho Sabbath day unto the Lord and
directs ag to Ito observance. Ile from
Whom tve retelve all our days cer-
taiely has a right to direct how we
shall spend them and also to cock that
Nome portion or thne be set apart
espeelally for Himself. The &eland
