Origin of Familiar Proverbs.

Truth is stranger than felton, was
invented by an editor as a headline to a
twenty-five lie so monstrouslv extrav-
agant, that he knew nobody would be-
leve ten words of it. The original use
of this proverb is continued unto this
day. Whenever you see that line in a
newspaper don't believe word you read
under it.
''I'll make a spoon or spoil horn, -
was the thought of a man who never
made spoon in all his life, and who
knew perfectly well that he couldn' t
make one, and only took a mean mans
malicious delight in spelling horn. p.
S.-For the man who likes to take his
horn straight the introduction of a spoon
always spoils it.
ga wink is as good as nod to a blind
horse" was said by man with a stiff
neck, who wanted to nod, but couldn't !;
although why any sane man should wish
either to wink or nod at blind horse no
man can tell.
ga little more sleep and a little more
slumber," commonly attributed to the
sluggard, was stolen by him from the
night Waterman, who invented it in his
dreams.
east bind, fast bind" was remarked
by police justice when he bound the
tough over to keep the peace and fined
him $18.85.
"All's well that ends WELL" was said
by a murderer who killed dude. The
name of the murderer is suppressed lest
he should be overrun with more orders
than he could fill, and thus be compelled
to hire a clerk, who would eventually run
off with all the money.
"All's fare in love and war" was the
inspired thought of a railroad conductor.
zone swallow does not make a sum-
mer," was the brilliant remark of man
who was trying to see how many swal-
lows do make summer. Nota Bene-H
the thermometer got half so high as the
experimenter did, the dog-days came
right along on the heels of Christmas
that year. The record of the swallows.
however, was lost in the dim mists OF
Oblivion, the great Irish swallower.
"Dead men tell no tales, !" was the
ioyous exclamation of the first editor who
Slew a man who came in with con-
tinued story of sixty-five chapters. 1t
was this same editor who, upon receiving
a demand for 10 cents from poet for an
epic poem upon which he had labored
twelve years, said "Write makes

confer upon India, says the ray MGH

The Art Of Conversation,

There is an art of conversation, as
GOethe found when he was driven to
champagne before he could keep pace
Tilh Nine. de Stael, and as any one,
Without being a Goethe, will discover for
himself when he attempts to converse on
equal terms with an educated French
woman far below Nine. de Stael's level.
Alter all, what is conversation? 1t is
the fashion to say that in England it is
diving out, and that the school of great
a.kers, like that of great orators, is at an
md. But these great takers, surely they
VTe scarcely masters of the art of con-
Esation. DIR. johnson, Coleridge, Ma
lay, Sidney Smith, or lesser light,
Graham Hayward, needed listeners, not
nlerlocutcrs; and, pleasant as it might
De to listen to such men now and then,
ID the long run they were no better than
brilliant bores. Mere anecdotage or great
fertility Of imagination and illustration
lends rather to check than to encourage
conversation. Exceptional powers of this
KIND silence others less gifted, yet give
and-take is essential to the art So it
is, too, with the perpetual striving after
..eplgram, which is great failing of our
ulne, especially among professors and
aesthetics. Their laborious efforts DESTROY
Spontaneity, which is the charm of an I'M
restrained flow of conversation. Most of
l W really able epigram-makers blundered
Si before they hit upon the really good
N Jung that was carried to their credit.
douglas JeTold and Lord Alvanley were
no exceptions to this rule, and not only
were W.. many Of their jests far above the or
GylinaTy level, but they have also received,
