I came to see why clergyman should
be ashamed to admit that he is taking
lessons In elocution. Certainly it is no
crime against society or tho church for
a!pieacher to improve his methods Of
DSatoSlcal delivery. Actors rehearse their
parts and painters make sketches and
Estudies for their. pictures. Why q pull

If they all did 1t, it would be to the
benefit 0f their congregations, who

the serlioilSd dellvered for their good.
Ther897Ks two ways in which our
ministers employ the elocutionIst to

might be called the direct and Indirect.

Curious Albums ofSRliotos.

A local photographer. who does a
fashionable trade, has a curious album
Of photos. They are of women g hands.
and every hand is distinguished by one
ling. Some years ago, he tells me, s@
young society woman who had very
pretty hands experienced the fancy to
have the one on which her sweetiIeart
had recently put an engagement ring
pictured. The fashion being thus sef
is, he says, still kept up. Not oil Of
the hands are beautiful ones by any
means. In fact really pretty hands
are in the minority. There is a
preponderance OF fat palms and stubby
fingers that does not speak we'll for, the
manual refinement Of our besb so6jAty.
But even the best kept hands, Al less
they are symmetrical In proporti6n ,saro
liable to look clumsy in photograph.
The variety Of rings on this collection
Of pictures is credit to our jewelers..
Indeed you can trace the fashions in
rings for several years by thom. .It
I had tile value OF those lings.n said
the photographer. meditatively, ~
think I could spend year IN Europe,
and not have to swim home.''

A great many are courted and welded

in business which Is putting young girls
side by side with, and oven above men

marriages between them and The men
they work with arc growing more and
more frequent. Indeed he says that O
less proportion Of them grow into old
maids than Of factory girls or girls who
don't work for a living. The men In
charge Of the large shops and auch
establishments as the telegraph operat-

out the smartest of the men around
them for their husbands, and do not, as
Is SO often the case with women who
stay at home, marry the empty heads,

An Anccdotc OF Horace Greeley

When L was a cub-back in the
thirties-I was living with my mother
and step-father in Brooklyn. One day
was sent over o New Y York to deliver
an imposing stone TO the firm Of Gree
ley & Winchester, who were then pub
fishing The New World. I was told
not to deliver the stone unless l got
my money. When arrived at Horace
Greeley's Office he Immediately ordered
his men to hoist the stone to the third
story with block and tackle, and it
was hoisted. l had insisted with Mr..
.Gsneley that I could not leave tho
stono without the money, but he simply
answered me by saying. my son, the
stone is in the thild story; how are you
going to get it downp You come over
Saturday and I will pay you for the
stone. l told him If I went back
without the money would get q terri
BILE threshing, and which, by the way, l
unquestlonably got.
went back Saturday and Mr.. Groe-
ley, wanted to put me Off again. l
