THE ART OF TALKING.

If we notice closely we shall find the poo-
pie who are the most popular in social life
are those who understand not only how to
talk themselves, but how to make others
talk. This is very valuable gift, To be

pleasant sense of having said something
which others were glad to hear, There is a
good deal of this sort of conversation mission
ary work waiting to be done, and the time
which we spend chatting about the weather
might be very prohtably devoted to it, Ii
should be borne in mind that there is scarce.

An Alarming Symptom.

A correspondent writes from Leipslc
that society composed Of fashionable
women has been formed there with a
view to discouraging extravagance o.
dress and any and all superfluous ex-
peuditure for adornment or display.
The members are pledged not to wear
jswels, false hair, trains, double, skirts.
or anything not required by considera-
tons of decency and selfrespect. Pat
terms of single gowns with very little
trimming have been devised, and GER
tain mantua- makers have agreed to fol-
low those patterns vigorously whenever
they are asked to. The members are
persuaded that they will be able to work
a thorough reform, and do great good
by causing rules of economy to be
widely adopted in that city. As many
OF them are rich and of high social
position, they think that their influence
will be felt and their example followed
throughout Bavaria. We hope that
they may be justified in their opinion,
but We have shuddering doubts. Some
thing of the sort has taken place in an
Ohio town, though there the motive is
theologic. A number OF young WON
en- have organized themselves into u
"Circle of the SAnctiiiel," as they des-
ignate it, and have discarded gem: and
sarniture of every kind. ReccMtly one
of them was found in the street in the
carly morning in her hightgown, and
not long after in u still worse state of
wardrobe. She was arrested, properly
draped, and pronounced insane. Prob
ably she is so. When young women,
or even tolerably old women. have dis
carded ornament or surrendered the
ponp of clothes, there is good reason
to question their mental souuduess.

TURKISH CLEMENCY TO VERMIN. "A
TurkiSh family often remove from one
set of apartments to another In order
to escape the feas and other vermin.
Tha insects take up their abode be
tween the badly Joined planks and under
the rugs. They increase and multiply,
because the Turks are unwilling to de.
stroy animal. life. A lady, familiar with
Turkish manners, tells the following
story OF the Turks clemency towards
fieas:
l was once visiting at the house OF q
Pasha lately arrived at Adrianople.
The Hanoun, a charming woman, was
complaining bitterly to me of her rest
having been much disturbed the previ-
GUS night by the abundance of these
creatures in her apartment.
One of the slaves modestly remarked
that she had occupied herself all the
morning in scalding the floor of the
room her mistress had slept in. and ex-
pressed hope that she would not be
longer troubled in that respect
A general outcry against this slaves
want OF humility was raised by all the
women present, and chorus of I" Yu-
zuk! Gunah!" pity Sin y was heard.
It is curious that they raised no such
outcry when they heard of the fright
full destruction of human life that took
place few years later among their
Christian neighbors in Bulgaria, but q

Cool Head OH Young Shoulders.

The late Admiral Farragut was noted
for his GOODNESS III action, and for doing
The right thing at the proper time. Al
incident of his boyhood, when lie was
a ten-year-old midshipman on the rs.
sec, shows that the boy even then proph-
esied the man.
1t was Capt Porter's custom to sound
the alarm of fire at all hours of the
night. He did this to test the nerve OF
the Esser'S crew, and to prepare them
for al emergency. Every man, when
the alarm was given, repaired promptly
TO his quarters with cutlass and blanket,
ana waited orders. Uusteadincss OF
hardness was punished.
The Esses had number of prisoners
on board, taken from the alert, u British
man-of-war, which she had captured.
They had planned to rise and capture
the Esser. Ga the night assigned for
the execution of the conspiracy, youug
Farragut was awakened by man staEd-
ing over his hammock.
Seeing that he was one OF the pris-
oners and had pistol in his hand, the
boy remained motionless. After gazing
at the supposed sleeping youth, the
man passed on. The youthful midship-
man. slipping out Of his hammock,
orept nolselessly to Capt. Porter's cot
and told him what he had seen.
Porter sprung out on the berth deck,
crying, Fire Fire! !" In a moment
every man of the Esser'S crew was at
his post. The astonished prisoners
were SO alarmed that they forgot to
strike the fatal blow, and were soon Sc
cured.

THE BEST soap for toilet use
ever manufactured. BEST because
it contains all the excellencies of
the most expensive foreign or
American soaps without their de-
fectS. BEST because it combines
strength with delicacy in such O
way that its strong defensive quail
ties do not injure the skin. BEST
because it is the result of years of
study and experiment in the soap
manufacturing business, assisted
by modern chemical discoveries.
BEST because it contains ingredi-
ents beneficial 10 the skin, which
unto chemically with the soap
in such manner as to increase
its saponaceous qualities. Every
chemist familiar with soap manu-
Iacture knows that some ingredi-
ents which are in themselves bene-
fetal to the skin cannot be saponi-
fed some are partially neutralized.
while others injure the quality or
the soap. There are soaps in the
market which are to some extent
beneficial to the skin, but they are
inferior articles for toilet use.
PHOSPHATE SOAP is tho ONLY
article offered to the public which
combines oil the hest clements Of
toilet soap with medical ingredi.
ents beneficial to the skin.
If your wife is in tho habit of
using cosmetics of any kind, ad-
wise her to give up the pernicious
practice, as the most harmless face
powders obstruct tho pores of the
skin and sooner or later injure the
complexion, while PHOSPHATE
SOAP removes all impurities and
assists nature in developing q
natural, healthy and beautiful
skin.
