+, HOME CoNvERsATIoN.-Ch Children hunger
perpetually for new ideas. They will learn
with pleasure from the lips of the parents
what they deem is drudgery to study in
books and even if they had the misfortune
to be deprived of many educational adyan-
tages, they will grow up intelligent if they
enjoy i'll childhood the privilege of listening
daily to the conversation of intelligent peo-
pie. We sometimes see people who are the
life of every company they enter, dull, silent
and uninteresting at home among the chill
dren. If they have not mental activity and
mental stores sufficient for both, let them first
use what they have for their own households.
A silent house is a dull place for young
people, a place from which they will escape
as soon as they can. How much useful infor
nation, on the other hand, is often given II
pleasant family conversation, and what ur
conscious but exsellent mental training in liv
ly social argument. Cultivate to the utmos
all graces of home conversation.

CAPTIVATING PURE EXPRESSION. Every
word that falls from the lips of mothers and
sisters especially should be pure, and concise,
and simple; no pearls, such as fall from the
lips of princess but sweet, good words, that
little children Gun gather without fears OF
soil or after shame, or blame, or any regrets
to pain through all their life.
Children should be taught the frequent use
of good, strong, expressive words-words
that mean exactly what they should express
in their proper places.
If child, or young person, has loose,
flung-together way Of stringing words when
endeavorng to say something, he should be
made to ''try again, and see if he cannot do
better.
It is painful to listen to many girls talk.
They begin with "my goodness ~ and inter-
lard it with ,'ohs /" and "sakes alive !" and
$50 sweet !" and so qucenly," and SO many
phrases that one is tempted to believe they
have had no training at ALL or else their
mothers were very foolish women. There
is nothing more disgusting than the twaddle
of Inbred girls; one is provoked often into
taking paper and reading, and letting them
ripple and gurge on, like brooks that flow
they know not whittier.
Ny heart warns with love for sensible girls
and pure boys; and after all, if our girls and
boys are not this, fear it is our own fault
for this great trust rests in the hearts and
hands of the women of our land. If we have
a noble, useful purpose in life, we shall infuse
the right spirit into those around u.s.

The Great Storm.

A report of the damage done by the
great storm of August p has been pre-.
pared at the Signal Office. which will
be given in full to the public in few
days. One thousand and thirty-two
vessels, of which 1926 were small fishing
are known to have been de.
stroyed during the oath and 25th OF
August in the neighborhood of the
Gulf of st. Lawrence and the Atlantic
shores of Nova Scotia, Cape Breton
and Newfoundland. !. In addition to
this shege number, over ninety vessels
were destroyed by the same storm in
it's course before reaching Nova Scotia,
making q total of l, 122 vessels destroy
ed with few days. Two hundred and
twenty.three lives are definitely report.
ed lost, and the most moderate esti.
mate of numerous cases in which whole
crews are said to have been lost, swelle
the number to nearly 500; while If this
be added to the loss of life on land
and in the earlier history of the cy.
clone, the grand total amounts to al
least 600 lives. The records also show
that about 900 buildings were injured
or totally destroyed by this storm.

Etiquette OF BOWinE.

The Home Journal says: 'sThis is 30
simple that one would scarcely suppose
it possible that difference of opinion
could xist, and yet there are some who
think it . breach Of politeness if one
neglects to bow. although meeting half
a dozen times on a promenade or in
driving. Custom has made it necessary
to bow only the 6rst time in passing;
after that an exchange Of salutations il
very properly NOT expected. The differ.
ence between a courteous and famil
lar bow should be remembered BY gen.
tlemen who wish to make favorable
impression. A lady dis!..lAes to receive
from q man with whom she has but .
slight acquaintance, bow accompa-
MED with broad smile, AZ though he
was on the most familiar terms with
her. It is far better to err oD the other
side, and give one of those stiff, ungra.
cious bows which some men indulge
in. Those gentlemen who smile with
their eyes instead of their mouths,
give the most charming bows As for
men who bow Charmingly at one time
and with excessive hauteur at another,
according as they feel in good or bad
humor, they need never be surprised il
the person thus treated should cease
speaking altoeether.s 4 ,maA should

is increased every season. The pure
white gladiolus originally came from
the Cape Of Good Hope but it was q
small flower, and, at its introduction,
ten years ago, not much was thought
of it. By careful cultivation, however,
it has become one Of the choicest dow.
ers 81 thes field and" garden, One of
the rarestssights of the summerseason
gladiolus preserves. These are on the
line of the Central Railroad of Long
Island, about fourteen miles from
Hunters Point, and the route of the
road is through the centre of fifteen
acre field, devoted to the culture of
this beautiful Towering bulb. One
hundred thousand gladiolus bulbs are
planted to the acre, and but little
knowledge of arithmetic is required to
figure out the number of plants grow

may we'll be imagined that the sight of
this field of flowers, IN the late season

through it. by rail, the sensation was
that Of entering fiery lake, for tho

Remarkable Petrifaction.

A remarkable case of human petri-
faction was discovered at Whitehall q
few days since. BY some persons who
were transferring the remains of Sally
Jucket from the old to the new burying
ground. She died and was buried
twenty-three years n 1oS ahd from some
unknown cause the remains have potri.
fed. The coffin, hair, and shroud had
crumbled away, but her original form
was perfect with the exception of an
indentation across the chest, caused by
q portion of the coffiu resting upon it,
which was imbedded in the chest.
Every limb was as natural and perfect
as in life. Tho hands were laid at the
side Of Of the body, as was peees:
sary in laying i out. The feas
lures were regular and perfectly
natural; with thA exception of the end
Of sthe nose being absent, while th0
sockets showed where the eyes had
been. The. hair. Was entirely gone, the
skull being bare and smooth as If It
had been sbaven. Even the fingers and
toes were perfectly shaped. although
the nails had assumed the same appear
ance in color as the rest of the body.
What seems strange is, that when the
body was found it rested only on tho
calves of the legs and back of the head,
as quite hollow space was found be-
meath the body, where the bottom of
the coffin once rested. The deceased
was a large woman, while living, weigh
ing 200 pounds auait il also q curious
fact that the phenomenal specimen
weighed about the Same. Rutland
