SPEAKING IN PUBLIC.
Helpful Suggestions Furnished by a Ms

Helpful Suggestions Furnished by a Mas
ter of the Art.
Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew was asked
| recently to give some hints to young
| men on how to speak in public. He
replied: 1.-The best thing for young
man who desires to become a success
full public speaker to do is to join de-
batting society. Here he should take
part in two kinds of debate-one re-
quiring elaborate preparation as lead
ing speaker and the other without
preparation, but still as one of the
chief disputants. He should also hear
all the famous speakers of the day and
study their style and methods of pre-
senting their subjects. He should en-
deavor to discern the thoughts which
produce effects and also bring out
whatever may be suggested to his
own mind. If he has the stuff in him
in time a method of expressing himself
will result If he has not got the fac
ulty, as soon as he finds this out he
would do well to abandon his efforts to
become a speaker; for otherwise he be-
comes slavish imitator of some speak
er and proves a failure. I don't be-
lieve any successful speaker could tell
how he became successful or what was
the element of his success; while he is
sure-footed every effort is nevertheless
an experiment But for a man to be
good ordinary speaker-expressing
himself well without attempting to be
an orator-to be able to give his views
to society, address meeting of citi-
zens, the people of a church, or SINH
lar gatherings, the debating society
gives facility of speeck and confidence
on ones feet. 1t is important that the
speaker be thoroughly informed on the
subject he is describing, and be posi-
tive in expressing his convictions and
opinions, He must have faith and a
reason for that faith which he is capa-
BILE of expressing in words. / do
not think college education absolute
ly essential in order to make a man a
successful speaker, for there have been
great orators VINO never went to col
lege. But still it is almost every
thing to speaker. By it a young
man is taught discipline of the mind,
even if he learns nothing, and the
ability to concentrate his mind upon
the subject under discussion and force
it to think out the reason for the
conclusion That is very hard and
disagreeable work for an unframed
mind. The young man who is to be a
successful speaker should also take up
reading of the widest kind. BY this
he will find out in a short time the SUBJ
ject which interests him, and upon this
he can become so much more fully in
formed than those of his acquaintance
that he can become an authority upon
it. He should become so familiar with
the best English classics and the gen.
eral history of the world that he can
have their subjects to draw upon, both
for attack and defence. Chicago

SENSIBLE SUGGESTIONS.

A WARM or hot room does not necessarily
signify an impure atmosphere; while we
may nave a room cold and the atmosphere
still terribly impure. The unthinl1lng never
take this into account, and are apt TO con-
fuse the term cold with pure atmos-
phere, as far as the rooms they are n are
concerned.
THE dinner hour, especially when at
night. should be the occasion of cultivating
good habits of conversations in the younger
members of the family. As children grow
older and are made to feel q certain respon-
sibillty in sustaining conversation, and the
entertainment of guests, they become easy

MATERNAL POINTERS.

How to Care for Children During the
Heated and intermediate Seasons.
Never tickle a child. It is danger
ous, and reduces vitality. Any unnat-
ural emotion must be avoided. The
more quiet and free from excitement a
little child is kept the better for the
vigor.
If there is much sickness about the
neighborhood, boil the water which is
used in baby's food, for boiling kills all
the animalcula contained in the water.
Cool it before using.
For headache, or any form of indi-
gestion, drink hot water, half pint at
time if possible.
Give children oranges before break
fast in the spring-time. 1t is better
than sulpur doses or any spring medi-
cines.
Use cream, with hot water and sugar,
in place of condensed Or natural milk,
as it is more easily digested than milk.
if hot water is added then it will not
require any warming process, whereby
it may come in contact with metal.
Warm the food by placing the bottle
or cup in water to heat it with the
water. Be careful to have the mouth
piece of the bottle perfectly clean
first scalded and then rinsed with cold
water.
In the. spring let the child take his
outdoor walks in the afternoon; in
autumn let him GO out in the forenoon.
The spring morning partakes of the
preceding season; the afternoon of the
coming season. In autumn the morn
ing is more like summer; the afternoon
like winter.
The whole bath is to be preferred to
the partial bath. Ninety-eight de-
grees Fahrenheit must be the degree
of heat, to be reduced as the child
grows older.
If the child does not sleep well give
him bath before going to bed. 1t is
an excellent sedative. Woman.

Miles away from any white settle
