EVE'S FRUIT PICKING
HOWHER CURIOSITY RUINED THE
HUMAN RACE.
Rev. ler. Talmage Preaches a Picture:Kai
Sermon on the Calamity in Paradise
Rating Fruit That Does Not Belong to
- Us -Fatal Charms.
_ New Yorka June 18.-.g. new interpre-
Wien of the calamity in paradise is
given by Dr. Talmage in this sermon,
whioh is laden with praetioal lessons.
The text is Genesis iii, 6,fi iAnd when
the woman saw that the tree was good
for food and that it was Pleasant to the
eyes, and a tree to be desired to inalte
one wise, she took of the fruit thereof,
and did. eat,- and give also unto her hus-
band with her, and he did eat."
It is the first Saturday afternoon in the
worlds existence. Ever since sunrise
Adam has been watching the brilliant
pageantry of wings and scales and clouds.
In his first lesson in zoology and orni-
thology and ichthyology he has noticed
that the robins fiy the air in twos and.
that the fish swim the water in twos and
that the lions walk the fields in twos and
in the warm redolence of.• that Saturday
afternoon he falls off into slumber, and
as if by allegory to teach all ages that
the greatest of earthly blessings is sound
sleep, this paradisaical somnolence ends
with the discovery on the part �f Adam
a a corresponding intelligence just land-
ed on a new planet. Of the mother- of all
the living 1 speak -Eve, the first, the
faireat and the best.

A Beauti f ul Garden:
I -make me a garden. I inlay the paths
with mountain moss, and I borderethem
with pearls from Ceylon and diamonds
from Golconda. Here and there e,ae foun-
tains tossing in the sunlight and ponds
that ripple under the paddliQ of the
swans. I gather Inc lilies from the
Amazon and orange groves from the
tropics and tamarinds from Goyaz. There
are woodbine and honeysuckle climbing
over the wall and starred spaniels
sprawling themselves on the grass. I in-
vite amid these trees the larks,, and the
brown thrushes, and the robins, and all
the isrightest birds of heaven, and they
-
stir the air with infinite chirp and carol.
And yet the place is a desert filled. with
darkness and death as compared with the •
residence of the woman of the text, the
subject of my story. Never since have
such skies looked. down through such
leaves into such waters! Never has AVER
wave had such curve and sheen and benk
as adorned the Pison, the Havilah, the
Glhon, and the Hiddekel, even the peb-
bles being bdellium and onyx stones!
What fruits, with no cumuli° to sting
the rindi What ftowers,; with no slug to
gnaw the root! What atmosphere, with
no frost to chill and- with no heap to.
consume! Bright colors tangled inIthe
grass. Perfume in the air. Music inthe
sky. Great scenes of gladness and love
and joy.
Right there under a bower of leaf and
vine and shrub occurred the first mar-
riage. Adam took the hand of this *-
maculate daughter of God and pro-
nounced the ceremony when he said,
"Bone of my bone and flesh of my fleSh."
A forbidden tree stood in the mit* of
that exquisite park. Eve saunteringl out
one day alone, looks up at the tree and
sees the beautiful fruit and wonders if it
Is sweet and wonders if it is sour and
standing there says: "I think I wilhjust
put my hand upon the fruit. It will do
no damage to the tree. I will not take
the fruit to eat, but I will just take it
down to examine it." She examined the
fruit. She said, "I do not think there
can be any harm in my just breaking the
rind of it." She put the fruit to her
teeth, she tasted, she allowed Adam also
to taste the fruit, the door of the world
opened, and the monster sin entered. Let
the heavens gather blackness, and the
wind sigh on the bosom of the Mlle, and
cavern, and desert, and earth, and sky
join in one long, deep, hell rending
howl, "The world is. lost?"
Beasts that before were harmless and
full of play put forth chtw and sting and
teeth and tusk. Birds whet their beak
for prey. Clouds troop id the sky. Sharp
thorns shoot up through the soft grass;
blasting on the leaves. All the chords of
that great harmony are snapped. Upon
the brightest home this world ever saw
Ittur first parents turned their backs' and
Jed forth on a path of sorrow the broken-
hearted myriads of a ruined race.
Ruin in Curiosity.
Do you not see in the first place the
danger of a poorly regulated inquisitive-
ness? She wanted to know how the fruit
tasted. She found out, but 6,000 years
have deplored that unhealthful curiosity.
Healthful curiosity has done a great deal
for letters, for art, for science and. for
religion. It has gone down into the
depths of the earth with the geologist
and seen- the first chapter of Genesis
written in the book of nature. illustrated
with engraving on rock, and it stood.
with the antiquarian while he blew, the
trumpet of resurrection over buried Her-
culaneum and Pompeii, until from their
sepulcher there came up shaft and terrace
and amphitheater. Healthful curiosity' has
enlarged the telescopic vision of the as-
tronomer until worlds hidden in the dis-
tant heavens have trooped forth and have
joined the choir praising the Lord. Pla-
net weighed against planet and -wilast
comet lassooed with replendent law.
Healthful curiosity has gone down and
found the traoks of the eternal God In
the polypi and the starfish under the sea
and the majesty of the great Jehovah en-
camped under the gorgeous curtains of
the dahlia. It has studied the spots on
the sun, and the larva in a beech leaf,
and the light under a firefly's wing, and
the terrible eye glance of a condor pitch-
ing from Chimborazo. It has studied
the myriads of animalcule° that make
up the phosphorescence in a ship's wa.ke,
and the mighty maze of suns and spheres
and constellations and galaxies that
blaze on in the march of God. Healthful
curiosity has stood by the inventor until
forces that were hidden for ages came to
wheels, and levers and shafts and shut-
- ties -forces that fly the air, or swim the
sea, or cleave the mountain until the
earth jars and roars and rings and
crackles and booms with strange mechan-
ism, and ships with nostrils of hot
steam and yokes of fire draw the conti-
nents together.
I say nothing against healthful curi-
osity. May it have other Leyden jars,
and other electric batteries, and other
voltaic piles, and other magnifying
glasses, with which to storm the barred
.castles of the natural world until it shall
surrender its last secret. We tthank God
for the geological curiosity of Professor
Hitchcock, and the mechanical curiosity
of Liebig, and the zoological curiosity
of Cuvier, and the inventive curiosity of
Edison, but we must admit that un -
healthful and irregular inquisitiveness
°has rushed thousands and tens of_ thous --
ands into ruin.
Eve just tasted the fruit. She was curi-
ous to find out how it tasted, and. that
curiosity blasted her and blasted all na-
tions. So there are clergymen in this
day, inspired by unhealthful inquisitive-
ness, who have tried to look through the
keyhole of God's mysteries -mysteries
that were barred and bolted from all hu-
man. insnection=and _they Aave wrencload
Like Dead Sea Fruit.
Oh, how many have been destroyed by
an unhealthful inquisitiveness! It is seen
in all direotions. . There are those who
stand with the eye stare and mouth gape
of curiosity. They are the first to hear a
faleehood; build it another storyhigh
and two wings to At. About other
people's apparel,. about other people's
business, about •other people's firetnoial
riondition,about other people's laffairss
they are overanxious. Every nice piece
of gossip stops at their door, aield. they
fatten and hixuriate in the endless rmind
of the great world of tittle tattle. They
invite and sumptuously -entertain at their
house Colonel Twaddle and Squire Chit-
chat and Governor Smslitalk. Whoever
hath an innuendo, whoever bath a scan-
dal, whoever hath' a•valuable secret, let
him !come and 8acrifice it to this goddess
of splutter. Thousands of Adams and
Eves do nothing but eat fruit that. does
not belong to them, men quite well
known as mathematicians falling in
this computation of moral algebra -good
sense plus good breeding, minus curi-
osity, equals minding your own affairs!'
Then, how many young men through
curiosity go through the whole realm of
French navels to see whether they are
really as bad as moralists have pro-
nounced them. They come near the verge
of:the precipice just to look off. They
want to see how far it really is down,
but they lose their balance while they
look and fall into remediless ruin, or,
_catching themselves, clamber up, bleed-.
ing and ghastly, on the rock, gibbering
with cures or groaning ineffectual •pray-
er, By all means encourage healthful in-
quisitiveness; by all means discourage
ill regulated curiosity.
This subject also _impresses me with
the fact that fruits that are sweet to the
taste may afterward produce great agony.
Forbidden fruit for Eve'eVas so pleasant
shainvited her husband also to .take of
it. But her banishment from paradise
and 6,000 years of sorrow and wretched-
ness and war and woe paid for that lux-
ury. Sin may be very sweet at the start,
and, it may induce great' Wretchedness
a,fterward. The cup of sin is sparkling a e
the top,but there is death at the bottom.
Intoxication has -great exidlaration for
awhile, and it fillips the blood, and it
makes a man se e -five stars where others
can see only one star, and it makes the
- poor man rich,' and turns cheeks which
are white red rs roses. But what about
the dreaaus that come after, wheh he.
seems falling fibm great heights or is
prostrated by other fa:acted disasters and
the perspiration- standson the forehead -
the night dew of everlasting .darkness -
and he is grOund under the horrible hoof
of nightmares shrieking with lips that
crackle with all constuning torture? "Re-
joice, 0 young man, in thy youth, and
let thy heart cheer thee in the days of
thy youth! But know thou -that for all •
these things God will bring thee into
judgment!" Sweet at the -start, horrible
at the last. Go into that hall of revelry,
where ungodly mirth staggers and blas-
phemes. Listen to the 'senseless gabble.
See the last trace of intelligence dashed
out from faces made in God's min
Image. "Aha, aim!" says the bolstering
inebriate. "This is joy for you. Fill high
your cups, my boys. 'drink to my ,wife's.
misery, and my children's rags, and my
God's defiance." And he knows not that
a fiend stets the goblet in his hand and
that adders uncoil from the dregs and
thrust their forked tongues hissing
through the froth on the rim. The Phil-
- istines jeered. and laughed and shouted
at Sanison. Oh, they wantedhim to
make sport for them, and he made
sport for them! How bright and gay was
the scene -for a little while! After awhile
the' giant puts one handl against this pil-
lar and the other hand against that pil-
lar and bows himself, and 3,000 merry-
makers are mashed like .grapes in a -wine
press. Sin rapturous- at the start, awful
at the last.
A StaggerinjtBI�w.c'
That' one Edenic transgression did net
seem to be much, but it struek a -blow
-which to this day makes the earth stag-
ger. To find out the consegaences of that
one sin you would have to compel the
-world to throw open all its'prison doors
and display tho -crime, and throw open
all its hospitals and display the disease,
and. throw open all the insane asylums
and show the wretchedness, and open all
the sepulchers and show the dead, and
open all the doors of the lost world and
show the damned. That one Edenic
transgression stretched chords of misery
across the heart of the world and struck
them with dolorous wailing, and_it -has
seated the plagues upon the air and the
shipwrecks upon the tempest, and fasten-
ed, like a leech, famine to the heart of
the sick ifnd dying nations. Beautiful at
the start, horrible at the last. Oh, how
many have experienced it! .
Are there here those who are votaries
of pleasure? Let me warn you, my
.brother. Your pleasure boat is far from
shore, and your summer day is ending
roughly, for the 'winds and the waves are
loud voiced, and the overcoming Clouds
are all awrithe and agleam salth terror.
You are past the Narrows, and almost
outside the Hook, and if the Atlantic
take thee, frail mortal, thou shalt never
get to shore twain.' Put back, row swift-
ly, swifter, swifter! Jesus from the shore
casteth a rope. Clasp it quickly,now or
never. Oh, are thero. not some of you
who are -freighting all your loves and
joys and belies upon a vessel which shall
never reach the port of heaven? - Thou
nearest the breakers. One heave upon the
rocks. Oh, what an awful crash was
that! Another lunge may crush thee be-
neath the spars or grind thy bones to
powder amid the torn timbers. Over-
board for your!life,. overboard! Trust not
that loose plank nor attempt the wave, -
but quickly clasp the feet of Jesus walk-
ing on the, watery pavement, ,shouting
until he hear thee, "Lord, save sue or I
perish!" Sin beautiful at the start -oh,
how sad, how distressful, at the last!
The ground over which it leads you is
hollow. The fruit it offers to yreer taste
Is poison. The promise it makes to you
Is a lie. Over that ungodly banquet the
keen sword of God's judgment hangs,
and there are ominous handwritings on
the wells. •
Observe also in this subject how repel-
ling in is when appended to great at-
tractiveaess. Since Eve's death there has
been no such perfection of womanhood.
You could not suggest an attractiveness
to the body or suggest any refinement to
the manner. You could add no graceful-
ness to the gait, no luster to the eye, no
sweetaess to the yoke. A perfect Ged
made ker a perfect woman, to be the
companion of a perfect man in a perfect
kerne, and her entire nature vibrated in
acoord with the beauty and song of para-
dise. But she rebelled against God's gov-
ernment. And with the_same hand with
NMI& she pine
upon the world
tumults that.
- Fatal Charms.
A terrible offset to all, her attractive-
ness.We .are not surprised when we find
znen 'and women naturally vulgar going
into transgreision. We expect that people
who live in _the ditch shall have the man-
ners of the ditoh, but how shocking
when we find sin appended to -superior
education and to the refinements of so -
alai life! The accomplishments of Mary,
queen of Scots, make her patronage of
Darnley, the profligate, the more appal-
ling. The genius of Catherine II- of ;Bus- -
sin only sets forth in more powerful con-
trast here unappeasable ambition. The
translations from the . Greek and the
Latin by Elizabeth • and. her wonderful
qualification for a queen make the :more
dzsgusting her capriciousness•of affeotion
and her hotness of temper. The great -
nese. of -Byron'e mind xnakes the more
alarming Byron's sensuality,
Let no one think that refinement of
manner or exquisiteness of taste or su-
periority of education can in any wise
apologize for ill temper, for anoppressive
spirit, for unkindness, for any kind of
sin. Disobedience Godward and trans-
gression rnanward can give no excuse.
Accomplishment heaven high is no apol-
ogy for vine hell deep.
My subject also impresses .ino with the
regal influence of woman. When _I see
Eve'vslth this powerful influence over
Adam and over the generations that have
'followed, it suggests to me e the great
power all women have for good or for
evil. I have no sympathy, nor have you,
:with the hollow•flatteries showered upon
ware= from the platform and the Stage.
They mean nothing, they aro accepted as _
nothing. Woman's nobility consists in
the exercise of a Christian influe&e, and
when I see this powerful influenee of Eve
upon -her husband and upon the whole
human race I make tip my mind that the
frail arm of woman can strike a blow
which will resound through all eternity
down among the dungeons or up among
the thrones.

1Vonian and Home..
Of course I am not speaking of repres-
entative women -of Eve, who ruined the
race by one fruit picking; of Jael, who,
droveta spike through the head of Sigera,
the warrior; of Esther, who overcame
royalty; of Abigail, who stopped a host
by her own beautiful prowess;- Of Mary,
who nursed the world's Saviour; of
Grandmother Lois, immortalized in her,.
grandson Timothy; of Charlotte Corday,
who ,drove the dagger through the heart
of pie:assassin of her lover, or of. Marie
Antoinette, who by one look from the
balcony ' of her castle quieted a mob, •1 her
own scaffold the throne. of forgiveness
.and womanly courage. I speak • not of
these extraordinary persons, but of those
who, unambitious for political power, as
-.wives and mothers and sisters and
daughters attend to the tholfsand sweet
offices of home.
When at last we come to- calculatee the
-forces-that decided the destiny of nations,
it will be found that the mightiest and
grandest influence came from benne,
where the wife cheered up despondeney
• and fatigue .and sorrow by her own sym-
pathy, and the mother trained her child
for heaven, starting the little feet on ithe
path to the celestial city, and the sisters -
by their gentleness refined the manaers

A Husband Wan to'il.
The queen regent of Spai*has .a mar-
riageable daughter on her, liands. Mer-
cedes, princess of the Asturias, is now
17, and propositions for her hand have
been already considered at -the Spanish
court. For six months before the birth of
the king Mercedes, who was named for.
the iirst.wife of her father, was a daisy
queen of Spain. But little Alphonse XIII
appeared on the scene, and she was given-
s hack seat. It is but a sorry outleok for
the two girls who were- born to Queen
Christina before this little son: Mercedes,'•
..being the elder, should . marry first, but
she is .not pretty; and, Spain being in a,
terrible finameial condition, the chances
for t
quite. Speedy alliance for her are slim.
The second daughter is sweet 16 and
qui an attractive little person. The
Princess of the Asturias rides a bicycle
and tries to have as good a time as she
can under the circumstances, but matters
are mighty onsartin for the royal family,
and it would not be the straagest thing'

CHEAP THINGS.
When the Craze for Them Encourages Op-
. pression and Wrong it is Time to_Stop.
Labor-saving machinery has many and
great advantages over hand -work. The
machine suffers none of the pain of
weariness, it is not sublect to exhaustion,
but can work ' on night and day, it is
-exact and makes no mistakes, its poorest
work is as perfect as „the best that the
hand can fashion, and its movements
are Itianyfold swifter abd stronger than
,that of the human hand. It does the
heaviest and hardest work as easily as
the Moos delicate, slashes .logs into lum-
ber and digs the earth as readily as it
Waves the most fragile laces.
Labor-sikying machinery brought in
the era of cheap things -marvelously
cheap. One does not see how articles can
be produced with such small expenditure
of labor, which is the measure of values
for all things produced by man. But
machinery has not only cheapened pro-
duction, it has also brought -into exist-
ence a passion, we might almost say, a
craze, for cheap things. The stores are
crowded on "bargain days." A bankrupt
sale or a sale of goods' damaged is a
great attraction, and shrewd merchants
have a Way of supplying auch goods
without the intervention of a fire or a
bankruptcy. The demand for cheapness
la indlnorimiliate. and IMMOVElEir•
I
not pOnalaered that whdtever gain Mere .
may i be to the purchaser is at the loss of
the producer. ,
SO far as cheapness is the - result of re-
dueald cost in labor,. by means of machin-
ery, i in prodnotion, transporation and
manufacture,. it is a groat blezisizig. It
1
ena lea the poor to live as neatly and as
coin ortably as the rioh. One sees little
girls dressed as prettily for a dollar or so
as t e rich man's daughter can be dressed
for $100. The cheaply clad 0110 need not
shri k from comparison in any o her
poin of view -than the coarse and vu ar
one 41 display of expensiveness, which
does no credit to head, heart or taste.
The eople are entitled to the benefit of
the i ventions. But this "c_heap" craze
is Ong further than that, says the In -
Writs It is ' willing to let the cense-
quen s be suffering on the part of pro-
duce s.
A ' d it does .not pay. Cheating or op-
press ng never does. The penalty is sure
to act • e, and it may be disproportionally
sever when compared with the offense.
But' t does not pay anything immedi-
ately as it is suppesed to, A good honest
artiel will be produced by nobody for
less than a good honest price -more
than once.' He will get even by.palming
off ft worthless - article for a worthless
price. He will show,,when it comes to a
game of cheating, that hesunderstands it
bette than the ordinary purchaser,
. It 's all right for the merchant to clear
out h s Odds, ends, reinnants, shelf -worn
-or on -of-date goods at bargains, and -to
have 'bargain days" when such - -goods
will ie thrown- upon his counters at
price: which will rid him' of • them. But
,
when he pretesses to offer good goods at
"bareains" he is swindling somebody,
,that 1. ceetain-and he certainly is as
willi g to swindle you as he is to swindle
the p oducer.
Sound economy will-purehase Ithe best
goods that can be afforded,' and the- will-
ing t pay what they are worth. A good
artiel will wear from twice to 10 times
as long nd always be satisfactory, as
the fr ill. two to a dozen cheap articles,
which aggregate a larger cost, and all
of wh ch are always unsatisfactory.
16 1: sound economy to pay good wages.
The s me rule applies. For good wages
one c, n get good work, and for poor
wages one gets poor work. There is mord
profit Ind more satisfaction in good work
than i poor. Here, as at the bargain
count r, the bargain seeker grasps at the
shade and misses the substance,- and
the sh 'dow, though it hava nothing else
• in it, as gloom and misery, disappoint-
ment. tnd vexation, for all concerned.

What a Cable Ras to Stand.
Wit the increase in the use of high
tensio i, high potential currents, cabes
are be ng made of greater strength and
efficie py. The copper core, which. carries
the el ptricity, -is thickly covered with
rubbe , impregnated jute, or other in-
sulati g material, and for Koine pur-
poses, not only 'armored • with heavy .
twistei metal rods, but covered with
lead.- n this way, a cable for very heavy-
curren s may be elaborately brought up
te a di meter of 2 inches or more. The in-
crease in ,the capacity of cables within
the la.t few years has been extraordinary.
When 1 Ir. Ferranti, about six years ago,
said h would supply current from the
Deptfo d (London) central. station at a
-voltag of 10,000, he was laughed att by
many electricians, who maintained that
no. in ulation could be made efficient
enoug to withstand the commercial use
of sue 4 ailment. Nowadays; such an
install tion would be taken as .a matter
of cou se, and cables have to stand a
much more intense strain. Alexander
-Sieme s recently gave soine interesting
.details of a very complete test to which
lar electrical firm had • put a cable of
their •anufacture. They first put it
'under Pressure of 45,000 volts, -"but it
did no 'mind," he said. They increased
the votage to 60,000, and left it on for
half a hour. But still the cable held
out. len they tried the bending test,
and pi t on_50,000 volts, and it stood it -
all rig t. After that they, stripped off
the lea covering and soaked it in water
for tw nty-four hours, and again tried it
with 5 1,000 volts, with the seine result.
They t en put it in a hot :room, 160 de-
grees ahrenheit, and kept- it there for
three eeks;_after which they increased
the te perature to 212 degrees for
twenty four hours; and they finally test-
ed it itle 50,000, but it still held good.
After s ch an ordeal, Mr. Siemens main-
tained, there need be no fear of the Cable
stand' g in India or anywhere else.'
