Humanity is progressing towards some great end, an end higher than the perfecting of separate individualities. One generation goes on where another leaves off. and un folds the divine Ideas a little more fully. Some day, we may hope, this idea will be realized in a human society as nearly perfect as the limitations of earth permit. We may reasonably hold that those generations which have passed on have not stood still either, and nre stllj concerned with the work of evolving humanity, a mighty Whole,»one with and in the glorified Christ. "Then comath the end.” All illusions, all sense of separateness, will disappear; the material will make way for the spiritual, the phenomenal for the real, and the universe of universes, visible and invisible, attain to perfect conscious oneness in the eternal life of God. This is the New Testament view of the matter seen tn the large perspective of our present-day knowledge <■' the vastness of the universal order. When we come to the question of the survival of In dividual consciousness after death we can say no more than that the evidence which would satisfy the ordinary religious mind might fall with the uninformed by the religious temperament. Nevertheless the lack may be In the latter rather than the former. The plane of spiritual experience is real and is felt by most to be higher than the purely Intellectual, and it Is In the plane of spiritual experience that certitude regarding the immortality of the soul has hitherto generally been attained. There is the mind behind all, and the divine love that vibrates between soul and soul in response to the call of human need, like the ether that carries the elec- trio force from point to point In the visible universe, I see from the list of Injured In connection with the terrible mining disaster of a few days ago that there Is a possibility that an interesting correspondent has been killed. If so. perhaps he knows more now' of the ways of God with men than I could ever tell him. Death Is no calamity to those whom it calls higher, but only to those who mourn their loss. And even that would be turned to joy if we could but know how things really are In the great beyond. peopl J which are Inhabited by people who have much smaller fortunes than the great New York banker. Near his house Mr Morgan has built a large library, where he amasses various collections of books, manuscripts and relics which ought to cost a great many millions, But this library is not a part of his house; It Is a sort of public monument. Mr. Carnegie has built Immense palaces all over America for libraries, museums and schools, Yet for himself he has reserved a house In New York which n European would consider hardly worthy of a man of such great wealth. European journals tell frequently almost unbelievable tales of American luxury, of fortunes spent on jewels, on dresses, on flowers. They tell of fabulous feasts given, of the caprices of the new Neroes on the other side of the Atlantic. Like everybody else, before going to America I read these reports with Implicit faith In them. Now, however, I confess I have become skep tical and I do not consider these journals as reliable sources of Information regarding American extrava gance. Briefly, I have not seen any essential difference be- tween American luxury and European luxury, The cry about American extravagance had Its origin not In Europe, but In America, and It Is rather proof of Amer ican democracy. This cry about extravagance has been raised by Americans who have been brought up In the spirit of purltanlsm and democracy and could not look Indifferently upon any growth of luxury which followed the growth of riches In the last century.

'J dances which 2o0 years ago «ert tn vogue, only the minuet remains, anl that nowadays Is very rarely attempt ed. Of course every one admits that of all dances the waltz Is queen. It originated among the German peas ants in the seventeenth or eighteenth century. As they danced It it waa the slow waltz. called the landler. • Later the Vienna musicians took It up. quickened the pace, and by their lovely musical settings of this dance rhythm established the reign of the waltz throughout the world. It is note worthy that the composers of the finest dancing waltzes ever written Schu bert, Weber, Beethoven. Strauss. Lan ner, Labltzky and Waldteufei- were all Vienna men. It is properly a three- step dance, whether slow or fast. The two-step waltz Is a recent innovation and not an Improvement. Besides the waltz we owe to Ger many the gallop, an Impetuous, dash ing dance dating from about 1800; the polka, a justly popular four-step dance derived from the Bohemian peasantry about 1830, and the redowa, a quick movement in triple time, also Bohe mian in origin. France has given us the minuet, the quadrille or contradance and the far- andole, all square dances or dances participated in by several pairs or sets simultaneously. Poland has furnished some beautiful dances, notably the much-admired ma zurka in modern triple time; the state ly polonaise, a kind of processional much used in European courts and at elaborate social functions; the varso- vlenne, a slow three-step, and the era- covienne, a fast two-step. Italy's chief contribution Is the jig. which is danced under different names in all countries—in Italy as the taran tella and saltarello, in England as the hornpipe, and in Scotland anil Ireland as the reel. The only dances native to his coun- try are sundry jigs, reels, clog dances, break downs, etc., mostly originating among the Southern plantation hands. While these dances are lively and amusing, they cannot be called artis tic, like the national dances of Ger many, Poland, Spain, Scotland and France. It was a murky day In August, and the old sea captains were talking of a schooner which had been struck by lightning a few days before, and add ing their contributions to nautical fic tion, thinly disguised as fact, "How about the Emma 8., Captain Ell?” asked the privileged listener at last. "Wasn't she struck once?” "She was, sir,” and Captain Ell fixed his gaze on a crack in the ceil- Ing of the old wharf office. "She was, Indeed, off the Cape; home'ard bound, she was.” “I’d like to hear the particulars,” said the young man, and all the cap tains moved In- their seats and fixed their eyes on the crack which held the gaze of Captain Ell. “ 'Tisn't much to tell, only what might happen to any vessel under slm- succuinstances,” said Captain Eli. bolt struck the deck amidships, bored a hole right down through bottom o' the schooner big as a man's leg. "The water come rushing in, and o’ course the Emma 8. would have foundered if a second bolt hadn't come and struck my foreto'galla’mast, cut it off near the top, turned it end for end, and drove it right Into the hole, plugging it up an’ making it water tight. " 'Twas a clear case o’ what folks call the ravages an' repairs o' nature,” said Captain Ell, as he removed his gaze from the crack and let It rest thoughtfully on the Ingenuous face of the only landsman in the company. Hmr French Women. There are 7,000,000 women In Francs who earn their own living. In Paris women now work as cutters of pro clous stones, and they have proved so skillful that they may win supremacy from Amsterdam as the center of th« stone-cutting industry, The women cutters receive $1.80 a day, against the 60 cents paid the Paris seam- st ress. Women are found in almost every line of work In France. Foi example, a woman Is In charge of th« railroad station in Froissy, a Parli suburb, while her husband works un, der her as a porter.
