Billy Sunday on Dancing.

There was a time in America when the stately cotillon seemed to satisfy America. but it is too slow for the hot blood of the twentieth century. They must have some thing that will chase hurdles through their veins. There is nothing so insipid for the devotee of the waltz as to dance quadrille
 The dance is immoral. Every man and woman carries a breast full of passions. the same as are possessed by the bad. and those passions become tender box to consume morals whenever brought into contact with the temptress. The dance is conducive to immor- ality. In the dance and on the ballroom floor you allow liberties to men that you never allow else where. You grant men liberties on the ballroom floor that if man other than your husband would at tempt in your home and your hus- band would find you at it, he would have no trouble in securing a di- vorce and if he shot the man no jury in the world would convict him of it.
 Don't the swing of the dance around the corners throw men and women in positions that are not tolerated elsewhere?
 But you say: Cant a fellow dance with his own wife?" His who9' His own wife?" Why you would just as soon husk corn all night by moonlight as dance with your own wife. It's not your wife you want to dance with. It's some other fellows wife or some other fellows sister. You let him hug your wife for the privilege of hugging his. want to see the color of the bucks hair that dares to put his arms around Nell.
 You say you need the exercise of dancing. Passion is the basis of the popularity of the dance Let women dance with women and the men dance with men. Make them dance by themselves and women by themselves and I'll kill the dance in month. believe that passion is the basis of the dance popularity today. Men drink and gamble and they go to race tracks and they bet-all of this they do without wives. Why. then, can't they dance without their wives, or other peoples wives if exercise is the thing they want

CARVED A LIVING FISH.
Part Was Cooked and the Other Part
 Swan Around Till Needed.

| Part Was Cooked ana the OtheT SaTl Swan Around Till Needed.
 Not many years ago, being one of the few foreigners permitted to reside in the interior of Japan, was favored with this interesting experience:
 Living near small fishing village and out of convenient reach of the treaty ports, found it necessary to content myself to q great extent with native subsistence. However, a daily supply of delicious living fish went far to compensate for the abscmrc of beef steak and bread and butter
 The peddlers of fish carry their | hnny merchandise in shallow tubs l filled with water, suspended from the ends of a yoke across the shoulders. In this fashion they trot along for miles on their rounds.
 Having the advantage of first choice, I could usually select one of q size suitable for the days needs, but one morning they were all entirely too large, and when 1t was pointed out that the smallest was double the size i wanted he replied:
 "Oh. but you can cut it in two; Use half today, the other half tomorrow " ! This suggestion would seem simple enough in American markets. hut when he was told that stale fish waS uude, sirable he explained that the remaining half would be as lively tomorrow or any day thereafter until used; tbut the operation would not hurt the fish in the slightest respect. At this point curiosity prompted me 10 direct the flip vivisectioniSt to proceed with his barbarous act.
 He immediately laid one Of the fish on a board and placed his long, keen edged knife just back of the gti!S and quickly sliced of all of one side down to the tail and so close to the ribs that you could almost see them. The part containing the vital organs was return ed to the water, where. of course, ow- ing to loss of equilibrium, It turned on its side. But to my astonishment It swam round lively as ever, seemingly undisturbed by the loss of so much flesh, and remained so until the next day when I was ready to cook 1t.
 My native friends smiled at the sug. gestion of cruelty and related the story of a distinguished daimio who caught & fish sliced in this manner that had been placed In the river years before and lived this long time happy and lively as other fish. But the iGCa of carving a living fish made mo shuddrr, and never tried it again.-C. D. Vel don, in New York Tribune.
