The Art of Listening.

Conversation is more frequently spoiled
and ruined by bad listening than by bad
talking. Two persons, or several, may
engage in the discussion of u subject with
which each is we'll acquainted and each
may possess command Of language and
tiuency of diction, but if one of them is an
inattentive, uneasy, or impatient listener
the conversation becomes confused and
irregular, often irritating, and either OF
itself breaks up altogether, or is aban-
doned with mutual or general sense of
relief on the occurrence of any Interrupt
ton from without. There are various
classes ofsuch offenders, examples of each
of which may not seldom be met with in a
single large party. The least blameable,
and the least embarrassing, but often suf-
ficiently so TO distract the best takers,
and to hinder the progress of discourse,
are the nervous and fidgety, who, al
though perhaps desirous and intending to
give attention to the subject under treat
ment, are unable to control physical rest
lessness while others are speaking. This
manifests itself in various ways-by wan
derings of the eyes, movements of the
limbs, arrangements of the dress, taking
up and putting down books and other OBJ
jects, and often by very ungainly tricks
practiced by an astOnishingly large mum
Der of sensible, well-educated and other
wise well-conducted people The
presence Of single person of this temper
ament in an audience is notoriously sutii-
cient to annoy and discompose even emf
nent public speakers, and often spoils a
speech or Il sermon. 1t is not TO be won.
dered at that, IN the closer communication
of social intercourse, it should prove very
frequently the stumbling-b TO conver-
satiOn.-Leisttre Hours.

The Silver Regions of the World.

In 1850 Nevada was not reckoned among
the silver-producing regions. Mexico and
South America in that year produced $780,
100000 worth-nearly five times the
amount obtained in the same year from
Europe, Asia and Africa. The produc-
ton of Piedmont in that year was greater
than that of any other section of the East
ern coAnent, and was about 81 100000
Austria was represented by about 81 ,000,-
900, while Russia, Norway, SaXony, Spain
and Hartz Mountains, and Devonshire
and Cornwall, in England, produced the
remainder, -. -I-.. IJ..
India has often been represented as des-
titute of silver, but we have statements
from Sir Roderiek Mutchison and other
travellers that Kuu Valley is so rich in
ore and metallic silver that it might be
made 10 yield enormous revenues tor ages
to come. What was once known as the
silver country of the Vazurs in Kulu com
prises the mountainous country lying be-
tween the Beas, Sainji and Parbutti Riv-
ers. The mines, although in the palmy
days OF India worked to considerable
extent, are now almost forgotten, surely
by the inhabitants of the region itself
The Manikarn mines in the same valley
are known TO be incalculablyTi but are
now unworked. The Indian authorities,
and even the people themselves, lay every
obstacle in the way Of developing them for
fear of impoyerishing the country.
In the first three centuries after the dis
coyery of America it has been computed
that 100, 900 tons of pure silver were OK.

The Heroine of Newport.

YESTERDAY noon Miss Ida Lewis again
distinguished herself by rescuing man
who was in danger of drowning in the
lower Newport harboT. Miss Lewis first
came into prominence in 1866, when she
saved the life of Il soldier who had set out
for sail in the harbor in light skiff.
IL was one of the coolest and most blus
terlng days ever known in this latitude
yet girl but twenty-five years old, i'm
PEELED by the noblest spirit of humanity.
ventured to the assistance of man who
had brought himself into sorry plight
Through sheer foolhardiness

two men set out to cross the harbOr with
several sheep. One of the animals fell
overheard while the boat was rocked bv
the heavy sea, and its keepers, in trying
to save it, were in imminent peril of
swamping their craft. Ida Lewis saw
them from the window of her fathers
lighthouse on Lime Rock, and in Il few
moments was rowing them in safety to-
ward the shore After landing the men
she went back again and rescued the
sheep.
These brave deeds, with others of a less
striking character, made Miss Lewis name
famous throughout the world, and won for
her the title of 1.-the Grace Darling of
America" but in 1869 the newspapers
were filled with the story of what was per
haps her greatest exploit. On the Goth
of March two young soldiers set sail from
Newport for Fort Adams in small boat,
under the guidance of Il boy who pretend
ed TO understand the simple rules of navi-
cation. Mrs. Lewis Glanced to be looking
out of the lighthouse window, and saw a
squall strike the boat and overturn it, She
called to her daughter, telling her of the
casualty. Ida, though i'll at the time,
rushed out Of the house, launched her life
boat and sprang in, with neither hat ON
her head nor shoes ON her feet. BY the
time she reached the scene of the disaster
the boy had perished and the two soldiers
were clinging desperately 10 the wreck,
almost ready 10 loose their hold from cx-
haustion. They were dragged into the
lite-boat and carried to Lime Rock, and,
with careful nursing, were soon sufficient
ly restored TO proceed to Fort Adams
Miss Lewis repeated acts of philan-
thropy have been recognized by gifts at
various times, but no national testimonial,
so far as we are aware, has yet been of
tered to her True generosity, like true
virtue, is its own reward, and we of the
world are not often disposed to NEEDLE
with its quiet enjoyment by its possessor
ltseems eminentlY fitting, however, that
among the first to receive the new deeora-
ton TO be bestowed by Congress for,heroic
deeds in saving life should be the heroine
of Newport harbor.-N. Y. ECeRing Post.

Singular Discovery.

a REMARKABLE discovery was made on
an island in the Mississippi, eight miles

fishermen. 1t was subterranean cave,
hewn out of the solid rock, which was
covered by huge rock, and which was
reached by stone steps. The floor of this
subterranean cavity, which had undOubt-
edly been made thousands of years ago,
was thickly strewn with ashes, the charred
remains of bones, and a substance which
they took to be dead leaves, first wetted,
then pressed together, and resembling in
color and solidity the cake from oatmeal.
Among the dry ashes they picked up
three tusks about the size of boar's
teeth, and still lower the boathook came
in contact with hard substance which
proved to be a skull, brown as polished
walnut, perfect in every respect, and of
extraordinary size. On further eXamina-
ton almost a complete skeleton was dis
covered. But the most singular part came
to light in the hardened and almost petri-
fed leather straps, bronze buckles, and
wooden leg which continued the right eX-
tremity, that limb having been removed
about midway between the hip and knee.
This is very interesting discovery, prov
ing that knowledge of bronze was
among the learning of the aboriginal
Americans, and that mechanical surgery
in those days was equal at least to the
adaptation of a timber extremity,-Chi-

Home Conversational Training.

THERE is no nation more fluent in con-
versation than the American, The French
are more voluble, perhaps, their language
permitting greater rapidity Of pronun-
citation than the English. Our best con-
versationalists are not rapid takers. One
trouble with US is, each one likes to dOall
the talking; therefore Americans are not
good listeners. But mere talking is not
conversation In almost all home-circles
there is much talking done during the
day, but we fear there are few who do not
reserve their most brilliant conversational
powers for other assemblages than the
home group. Many father comes home
tired; he has worked hard and talked a
great deal, told amusing anecdotes and
displayed much wit. He has come home
to rest. He takes out his paper and is
soon oblivious to everything around him.
Wife would like to tell him many Of the
little harassing Affections of the day, and
would like to hear some of his Interesting
experiences, but if he were a deaf mute
he could not be more silent, only an occa-
sional grunt answering her many attempts
at conversations and the children, except
the goodnight kiss, and often not even
that, are not noticed. Such a home,
whether the abode of wealth OF otherwise,
cannot be a healthy and happy one. AS
parallax, draw around the evening lamp
of another home circle. The father tells
the anecdotes from the paper as he reads
them; the mother laughs her sweet, low
laugh and the children burst into merry
haIha's To watch them as they ask ques-
tions and listen to the answers and patient
explanations, the wonderment, interest and
thought imprinted on their young faces is
a picture for an artist. This home eduea-
tion is a heritage more valuable than
land or money; and one beautiful recon-
pense in life is that in making others hap
py we bring happiness to ourselves. Par
ents who practice selfdenial and en-
deavor, by cheerful conversation and play
full wit, to enliven home life will reap a
rich reward in the better thoughts and no
perienee the truest and best contentment

a MODEL HOUSE. The fine res
idence now nearly completed on the
old Vermont House lot, by Mr.. Geo.
w. Farr, for Mr.. w. II. Nourse is
one of the best houses in town. IL
presents pleasing architectural ap-
pearance when viewed from the
street, it being of the French roof
style, with bay windows in front
and on both sides extending from
the ground to the roof. The main
building is 81 feet square, with ell
24x32 feet, and stable 2Sx32 feet.
The inside finish of the first story
is brown ash thoroughly oiled and
polished, which gives the rooms a
light aud airy appearance and at
the same time a substantial and
solid look. The hall is 10 feet wide,
