Well. il was hard lessoE, dread

make any lasting impression on
Johnny's mind or help him overcome
his faults. Uncle Frcd's house could
have been reached by ride in tho
horse-cars, and nothing could be more
enjoyable than the birthday parties
the cousins Will and Joe were often al
lowed to give. Johnny had attended
two or three, staying al. night after
wards. and always thought them the
most delightful occasions imaginable.
In vain he coaxed. and cried, and
promised; all he could get papa or

There is church in Milton County,

subject of cyclone pits. It seems that
goodly number Of members of the
church have dug cyclone pits. which is
considered by majority of the church
as fragrant violation of their doctrines
and temptation to God to wipe them
off the face of the earth. AS the pit
diggers were more fearful of cyclones
than of the wrath of the majority, they
have been turned out of the church.

Ned is quite right in thinking that

THE ART OF GOOD TALKING.
The Virtue In Good Subject and the Value
of Silence.


Those who are not very good takers,
and are mortified sometimes by being the
wall flowers of the evening, may get
some consolation from the considcrat on
that there is a great deal of talk that
could very we'll be spared, and mat idle
words must be accounted for Indeed,
they also serve who only listen. A
Frenchman once said of gentleman in
whom he could detect no other quality
worthy of compliment, that he had a
great talent for silence" And some
people are very valuable in that way.
We have known people who could listen
so inspiringly as to draw eloquent dis
course from very ordinary people.
THE whole force of conversation, :"
some one says, depends on how much
you can take for granted" The good
steiner may contrlb rte to that force by
intelligent nodding. We once intro
duced two friends who were gong in
the same car on an all-day journey.
One of them was an inveterate talker;
the other also a good talker, could keep
still when necessary. Meeting the lat
ter few months after, we inquired
how they enjoyed that day together.
'.The doctor enjoyed it first rate" said
the quiet man. "He began talking
when the train started. and never
stopped until it pulled into Jersey City.
encouraged by only intermittent mods
and smiles from me. Parting as we left
the train, the doctor remarked elusive
ly, We have had good day; l don't
know when l have enjoyed converse
ton so much.
Talk and silence do make good con-
versation sometimes, if they be rightly
adjusted to each other. Successful con-
versation assumes, in the first place.
sympathetic people. There must at
least be willingness to get on COM
mon ground. DIR johnson once tried a
fellow traveller in stage coach on vari-
Gus topics and could get nothing out of
him. At last the poor fellow. realizing
the humiliating situation. in despair ex-
claimed. TRY me on leather!" He did
and found an eloquent talker. He who
can adjust himself to his company will
always be entertaining. A good talker
must have, in the second place, a good
subject. Gossip leads to alterations,
The man or woman having a worthy
subject will talk naturally. Small ma
lures talk about people, earnest souls
talk about things. 1t is easy to be
fluent in canvassing our neighbours PEI
culiarities, but one can't gossip about
astronomy and Free Trade and induc-
tive philosophy. Boston Beacon.

BABY DESTROYING.

The Many Deaths of Children Caused by
Ignorance and Neglect of Parents OF
Attendants.
1t has come to be gospel with young
married folk that the second summer is
the destroyer of the baby. 1t is fate
kismet. That the second summer COST
more lives than it ought is not the fault
of the summer; it is the fault of the
heat and the parents. The summer
heat is dangerous to all young children
1t is in connection with the bad diet OF
the second summer that it is fatal. II
is well-established fact that nearly all
the mortality of second-summer babies
is from diseases of the digestive organs,
and these come from irrational artificial
feeding. Children come to the table,
eat pickles, unmashed or fried Jumps OF
potatoes. beets, radishes, and the like.
and the trouble begins. The stereotyped
answer to the question; What does
the child eat?" is: 30. it eats at the
table with the rest of the family"
The result is enteric diseases and
death, and the cause of death is
ascribed to the second summer" The

1t is fearful to think, says writer.
what an enormous expense il would be
for Patti to bring up a child. She would
have to sing it to s'eep every night for
about three years, and at the regular
rates this would amount to 5000, 600.
Then if she should have TO sing one or
two extra verses to it each night the
amount would rise to $4,000 pro-
viding that the child was always in
good health. Allowing the usual third
for sickness she would have to sing to
it all night for 365 days, say live hours
at time. Four thousand dollars for .
few minutes singing is her usual price.
One night Of sickness would therefore
