because it appeals to the old Adam of

costumes are immodest, not to say in

they are sitting in the sands or even
walking on the streets OF a seaside re-
sort consider themselves privileged to

Mr.. Moody's Biography.

Mr.. w. R. Moody, son of the great
evangelist, will prepare biography Of
Dwight L. Moody, which will be pub
lished by subscription. In statement
concerning the work the author says
that, announcements having appeared
of several lives, some even claiming
to be official" 1t has become painful
necessity to state that any other than
the authorized biography referred to
will be issued not only without the ap.
proval, but regardless of the urgent
protest of the family and friends. Mr..
Moody, it is asserted, was particularly
anxious that errors and misrepresenta-
tions of former unauthorized works and
misleading newspaper reports should
be corrected in an authentic work pre-
pared by his son, thus obviating the
multiplication of partial and inharmo-
NOUS biographical sketches.

The Horrors OF Heathenism.

Some idea Of the blessings Of civiliza-
ton may be obtained by contrasting our
condition with the state of things in
some parts of China. We have graphic
account from three English bicyclists,
who have been making tour Of West
ern China, and who spent some time at
the large walled city of Chaotung Flu.
They found that 75 per cent. of the fe-
male infants are killed, while a major
ity Of those saved are sold into slavery,
the city being famous for its slave girls.
1t Is the custom to throw bodies of girl
babies over the walls at night, and in
many cases those children are still
alive. 1t Is common sight to see pa
riah dogs gnawing the arms of living
Infants. Bodies of the pauper dead are
also thrown over the walls and de-
voured by wolves and hyenas that come
down in the night from neighboring
mountains. The city is famous for in
human punishments. Lately a woman
was strung up by the neck, with her
toes just reaching the ground, till she
died.
murderer was crucified on one Of
the city gates. red-hot nails being ham,
mered through his wrists. He tried to
escape the agony by batterlng his head
against the gate, when the authorities
provided pillow to prevent this. He
hung in great agony, watched by crowds
of men and children, for four days be-
fore death came.-Christian Conserva-

are partly closed, as are the eyes of all
professional walkers. and the head Is

Platt, VINO is something of an athlete
himself and enjoys brisk walk. One
day, not long ago, the President was
accompanied by an unexpected guest.
A little mongrel dog, seeing the tall,
well-formed gentleman pass, came out
of the corner of the fence where he had
been hiding, and fell into the Presi-
dents tracks. Perhaps the dog thought
that, with so stalwart guide, he
could come to no harm. Perhaps he
caught sight of the bump of benevo-
lence on the Presidential head, and cal
culated that there would be a dinner
at the end of the walk. But, IL so, he
was disappointed. for he got not even
pat of the head. and after three
blocks the disappointed little dog skunk
back to watch for the next good-look-

lowed the President on these walks,
