He Was n Good Talker.

At Toledo an elderly gentleman
sat down by q younger man, a
stranger. Soon they engaged in con-
~versation. The old MAJ was quite a
talker. During the first twenty miles
the young man got in seven words,
mainly monosyllables- During the
next twenty he was completely shut
out. Then he began to try all sorts
of lodges. He watched his chance
and slipped in a word OF two chang
ing the subject, hoping thereby to
find a topic on which the old man
did not feel so much at home. Four
maneuvers of this kind resulted in
dead failures. The old gentleman
knew SIS much about one matter as
he did about another, and it took
him equally long to tell it. Finally
the young man settled down resign
edly and listeneed without q word.
Occasionally he would nod his head,

The New Process Applied to General

he used in describing the appearance
of a dead body, said Mr. c. E. Benni-
son, of this city, to caller this morn
ing. It was his chemical fluid that
was used to embalm the body OF
Gen. Grant. There is no such thing
as giving the face a lifelike expires
sion, The features may hold their
rouudness and correct form for a long
time, but they are lifelike-never.
The light of eight incandescent lamps
glaring on a living face would give 1t
a ghastly appearance, and bring out
the slightest imperfections. What
should be the effect on an lnanimate
co~untenance? The fact is, the en-
balmer, in endeavoring to preserve
Gen. Grants face from the slightest
change possible has probably over
applied the a~ir-excluding enamel,
which under the strong light gave
the appearance described in the dis
patch. No harm q result, as the
enamel can readily be removed with
alcohol, and re-applied in the correct
proportion.
Ihaye no fear of the decomposi-
ton of a body if the embalming pro-
cess Is successfully carried out, as it
was in the case of that of General
Grant. There will be an eventually
drying-out of the remains, as in the
Egyptian mummy, but no mortiiica-
ton is possible. The fluid used has
proved It's excellence in numerous in
stances, and there can be no mis-
take.
In regard to the method of en-
balming bodies with this compound,
DIR. Bennison says: 1.-The old meth
DDS described in the books and pur-
sued until recently, and even now in
some instances, are conspicuous by
their absence. The body remains
intact. I~ncisions are made only into
the empty femoral and brachial, and
sometimes into the carotid arteries
with q metallic tube, through which
the fluid is forced by means OF al
ordinary bulb syringe. The fluid
after filling the arteries, permeate'
every vein, assimilating with and CO
agulating the blood contained therein
and is now absorbed by every tissue
When this is accomplished the onl.
other process is the filing Of the cav
tiles of the body with the a m com
pound through missions between th'
ribs with a large tube and the SAM
pump. Then the performance
complete, with the exception Of
watchful care of the face, as witt
the enamel.
In this embalming of Gen. Gran
only the first two named arterie
were opened to receive the fluid, tn
use of the third being foundNunneces
sary. Before the embalming pre-
cess was begun slight discoloration
were discovered under the right ca
and near an eye, but the blood wa
let from the head through an incisio
in the jugular vein, and replaced wit
the fluid, ~effecting a complete restol
alton of the complexion on the part
that showed signs of change.
A letter to me from MIR. Sullivan
dated Monday night, expressed th
highest satisfaction with the contiE
ued good appearance of the bod,

A STRANGE WooER. Pitts is a sharp
man, man of business tact; and when
Pitts goes into shop he always gets
the lowest cash price and says
"Well, I'll look about, and if don't
find anything that suits me better, I'll
call and take this.
Pitts, like all sharp men, is partial
to women, and young ones in partic-
ular. Now, quite lately, Pitts said to
himself
81 am getting rather along in years,
and think I'll get married"
His business qualities would not let
him wait, so off he travels.and calls on
a lady friend, opening the CONVERSE
ton by remarklng that he would like
to know what she thought about his
getting married.
"Oh, Mr.. Pitts, that is an affair in
which am not so very greatly inter-
ested, and / prefer to leave it with
yourself"
"But," says Pitts, ''you are interest
ed, and, my dear girl, will you marry
moa"
The young lady b..ushed very red,
hesitated, and finally, as Pitts was very
we'll to do in the world, and morally,
financially and politically of good
standing in society, she accepted him.
Whereupon the matter-of-fact Pitts
said
"Well, well, I'll look about, and if I
don't find anybody that suits me better
than you, I'll come back"
The ART OF TALKING.--Ther is not
by any means lack of talk, this is
abundant. Gossip and scandal and
slang we have an over abundance of
but of conversation, sensible talk, there
is sad want of that. The American
people have been dubbed as nation
of takers or rather of twaddlers, and
there is much truth in the assertion,
but the same may be said of almost
every other nation under the sun.
There are few really good takers, men
from whom in ordinary conversation
you can gather fund of knowledge,
and who are entertaining as well. You
need not long be in the company of a
man until you are aware of his weak
points. If his general demeanor does
not betray him, his tongue will. But
all men are not of tho classes spoken
of. There are many who have wonder
full powers of conversation. Men who
do not talk about themselves, or dis
cuss the commonplaces of life, but who
talk calmly on religion, poetry, phil
osophy, the economy Of human life,
the cultivation of the intellect, and tho
affairs of the nations. The art of talk
ing should be study. Attention
should be given to it in the homo and
school. There is very much in the

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

The reproaches of friend should
always be strictly just and not too fire.
quent.
The most difficult province in friend
ship is the letting a man see his faults
and errors.
The charities that soothe, heal, and
bless, lie scattered at the feet Of men,
like flowers.
Whatever we may pretend, interest
and vanity are the sources Of most of
our affections.
Trying to admire that which you do
not like accumulates failure and ex-
hibits weakness.
From the knowledge of what you
should not do, you may easily judge
what you should do.
Want of punctuality may be excused
in the cook, or even in the host, but
never in the guest.
Self-denial is the most exalted pleas
ure, and the conquest of evil habits the
most glorious triumph.
Without discretion, learning is
pedantry, and wit, impertinence,
virtue itself looks like weakness.
In matter of sentiment there is but
one rule-that of rendering tho object
ofyour affections happy.
Do not lose courage by considering
your own imperfections, but instantly
set about remedying them,
Depreciate no mans qualities, and
accept hospitalities of the humblest
kind in a hearty and appreciative
manner.
The covetous man heaps up riches,
not to enjoy them, but to have; and
staryes himself in the midst Of plenty.
True repentance consists in the
heart being broken from sin and for
sin. Some often repent yet never re-
form.
We always know everything when it
serves to no purpose, and when the
seal of the irreparable has been set
upon events.
Witty sayings are as easily lost as
the pearls slipping off broken string
but a word of kindness is seldom
spoken in vain.
Good-temper is the philosophy of
the heart, a gem in the treasury with
in, whose rays are reflected on all out
ward objects.
Nothing can supply the want of sun
shine to peaches, and, to make knowl-
edge valuable, you must have the
cheerfulness Of wisdom.
1t is not till the flower has fallen off
that the fruit begins to ripen. So in
life it is when the romance is past that
the practical usefulness begins.
Those who are most weary of life,
and are yet most unwilling to die,
are such who have lived to no
purpose, who have rather breathed
than lived.
This life is meant only to discipline
us-to fit US for higher and purer
state Of being. Then stop whining
and fretting, and 60 on your way re-
joicing.
Even in the fercest uproar of our
stormy passions, conscience, though
in her softest whispers, gives to the
supremacy of rectitude tie voice of an
undying testimony.

training men receive as to whether
they will become useful takers. With
very little care almost every one can
be very good conversationalist.
A LITTLE CONTRAST Strange people
are the fashion reporters. I met one
on Kearney street the other day. Be
ing a woman, Of course never notice
what other women wear so I merely
observed cursorily that she wore gray
serge of the two-bit variety and sadly
IN want of buttons and repair, worsted
gloves, untidy shoes and shaggy UNI
brella, hat of two seasons ago, and
cloak that seemed to have had all sea-
sons for its own and bore their impress
on its shining surface. This enticing
and costly outfit was wildly recalled
the next Sunday morning as I perused
her fashion notes, from which I take
an extract at random: "These goods
come at from $40 to SIS per yard,
though they may be had as low as $50;
but since only Is yards are required
for the suit, it is best to get good ar
tlcle while about it. Very good lace,
Of course not the genuine, to accom-
pany the above, can be had for $3.50
per yard, $50 yards being quite sufi-
Gent for a lady of moderate size and
pretensions. To suit the purses Of
those Of slender means there are cheap
er grades at from S. to $40; but it is
questionable whether a cheap lace is
very advisable, either as matter Of
taste or of economy" And so forth,
ct cetera.
