The old Idea that sin Is , more a mat ter of being fempted than tempting will not apply here. Tho type of young men who ran tho Seeley dinner, far from rep resenting those who fall by temptation, represents that type not uncommon, either that Is bold and blatnnt, persist ent and persevering In Its pursuit of vice, gross or rellned. That this climax or vicious enjoyment Is tho outgrowth of the current hypocrisy of our conventional life, and due largely to a double code which allows tho man to do as lie pleases, while exacting that all women shall be Lucre tius In thought, word and uctlon, Is cer tainly manifest. It also Indicates the fail ure of the home, family and church to have that cumulative effect for decency and cleanliness of llfo which should at least mark our civilization, even If spirit, uallty be not retained, Perhaps, too, both emotionalism and formalism In roll gion ure responsible In so far as the church Is weak, as both the former and lattor In all history have gone hand In hund with loose moral stand ards, If the family, tho home und tho church were more elllcaclous and moruls were moro a concern thun a dogma, tho Seeley dinner would not be occupying the space It does In the dally newspaper.

KOMI' INSITHANCI' STOU1KS. Some Interesting Cucs Illustrating the Perils Which Hcsot People. The hlsrh Importance of life Insur ance has become so generally renllzed of late years and policies aie held by so many thousands now that It. Is scarcely strange that there are many wonderful stories In this connection, says Ivondoir Tld-Blts. A very re markable thing occurred to a Sheeld grocer a few months ago, Having a wife and three children dependent upon him, and not making an Income much more than sulllcienl for current ex penses, he decided to take out an In surance upon his life for the protec tion of his family against destitution In the event of their being suddenly robbed of his support. He applied to a good company, went through the usual formalities, nnd awaited the re sult. A few days later, after having closed his shop for the night, he was sitting In his parlor over the shop, when he heard the postman's characteristic knock. He threw down his 'paper and hurried downstairs, When In the mid dle of a long, steep lllght his foot slipped, and he was forcibly precipi tated down the remainder of the stairs Into the hall below, where he struck his head heally against a metal letter box, which caused concussion of the brain, from which he died in the course of a few days, The extraordinary feature of this story, which sounds like the daring fiction of a penny-a-liner, Is the fact that In the letter box at the time of the accident was the life Insurance policy for which the grocer had been negotiating. It had Just been delivered by the postman, to whose knoftt he had responded. In point of extraordlnarlness this story, wnlch is placed without the pale of suspicion by Its source, would be hard to beat. There are many similar cases of poli cies being taken out at the eleventh hour, as It has proved. Only last sum mer a gentleman who was on the fol lowing day to have started on a moun taineering tour through Switzerland went to a big London Insurance com pany to go through the final formal ities and get his policy. This wns done, and he left the ofllce, which is situated In a thoroughfare where the tralllc Is seriously congested. Turning straight out of the olllce, without look ing where he was going, he inn Into a horse of n hansom, by which he wns knocked down and fatally Injured. A strange case, Illustrative of the value of newspaper Insurance, which has become so popular of recent yeurs, was thnt of a country carpenter. He had just knocked ul'f work near a sta tion, and was loitering about talking to the porters, when a train came in and stopped, From one of the com partments directly opposite the car penter a gentleman alighted, leaving a paper upon the seat. The man men t'.'jned the fact to him, anil, being In formed that It wns no longer wanted, he took possession of It himself to read over his evening pipe. He slipped It Into his pocket, and, nfter n few more reiMiks to the porters, went off home, nicking his wuy along the railway, which, In the country, Is a much more common thing that Is supposed. About half-wnv home he was over taken by a train, knocked down and killed instantly. His wife very prompt lyIt Is reinnrunble how prompt peo ple can be undei these circumstances put In her claim for the Insurance, of When you take Hood's WIN.

There Is a strong vein of tho pathetic running through the following story: A commercial traveler, who traded, for a London soft-goods firm, had, with wise Judgment, Insured his life, on his mnrrlnge, and had kept up the pay ment for twenty-three years, In the hope of providing for his wife and live children ngnlnst his death. After twenty-three years financial dlliicultles, which only changed to go from bad to worse, prevented his making one of the payments, which, of course, caused the policy to fall through. Within a week of this the traveler was seized In the street by a spasm of pain, and died of heart disease almost Imme diately, leaving his family In a state bordering upon destitution, which he had for so many years struggled to guard against. The facts of this sad case were brought before the Insurance company, which acted In a most gen erous manner by returning to the widow all the money pnld In prem iums by her husband. SHU, the Irony of fate has a fine Illustration In this story. m IN TIIU OCKAN'S DKPTHS. The Enormous Pressure of (he Water in Its Deepest Places. From the Nineteenth Century. The temperature at the bottom of tho ocean Is nearly down to freezing point, and sometimes actually below It. There Is a total absence of light, as far as sunlight Is concerned, and there is an enormous pressure, reckoned at about one ton to tho square Inch In every 1,000 fathoms, which is ICO times greater than that of the atmosphere we live In. At 2,500 fathoms the pressure Is thirty times moro powerful than the steam pressure of a locomotive when drawing a train. As late as 1SS0 a leading zo ologist explained the existence of deep sea animals at such depths by assum ing that their bodies were composed of solids and liquids of great density, nnd contained no air. This, however, is not the case with deep-sea fish, which are provided with alr-lnllnted swimming bladders. If one of these fish. In full chase after Its prey, hap pens to ascend beyond a certain level, Its bladder becomes distended with the decreased pressure, and carries It, In spite of nil Its efforts, still higher in Its course. In fact, members of this un fortunate class are liable to become victims to the unusual accident of fall ing upward, and no doubt meet with a violent death soon after leaving their accustomed level, and long before their bodies reach the surface In a distorted and unnatural state. Even ground sharks, brought up from a depth of no more than noo fathoms, expire before they gain tho surface. The fauna of the deep sea with a few exceptions hitherto only known as fos silsare new and speclnlly modified forms of families nnd genera Inhabiting shallow waters In modern times, and have been driven down to the depths of the ocean by their moro powerful rivals In the battle of life, much as tho an cient Britons were compelled to with draw to the barren and inaccessible fastnesses of Wales. Some of their or gans have undergone considerable mod ification In correspondence to the changed conditions of their new habi tats. Thus down to 900 fathoms their eyes have generally become enlarged, to make the best of the faint light which may possibly penetrate there. After 1,000 fathoms these organs are either still further enlarged, or so greatly reduced that in some species they disappear algother and are re placed by enormously long feelers. The only light at great depths which would enable large eyes to be of any service Is the phosphorescence of deep-sen ani mals. We know that at the surface this light Is often very powerful, and Sir Wyvllle Thomson has recorded one oc casion on which the sea nt night was "a perfect blaze of phosphorescence, so strong that lights and shadows were thrown on the sails and It was easy to read the smallest print." It Is thought possible by several naturalists that cer tain portions of the sea bottom may be as brilliantly Illuminated by this sort of light as the streets of a European city after sunse. Some deep-sea fish have two parallel rows of small circu lar phosphorescent organs running along the whole length of their bodies, and as they glide through the dark waters of the profound abysses they must look like model mail ships with lows of shining portholes.
