Conversation.

1t was Sidney Smith who said, Take
as many half-minutes as you can get
but never talk more than half minute
without pausing and giving others an
opportunity to join"
If the most brilliant talker of his age
could thus advise, it is good for COM
mon-place people to follow. The ped
antic Macaulay who was only second
to his witty friend, showed less tact
than he. The monologues of the great
historian were apt to be so tedious and
continual that Sidney Smith spoke of n
great improvement when brilliant
flashes of silence made his conversation
perfectly delightful"
To talk well presupposes alert intel
ligence upon the subject under discus
sion. Gar you emit sparks?" said
the eat to the ugly duckling in Andcr-
sons fairy tale. The latter was forced
to confess his inability on that point.
But throw the cat into the native ele-
ment of the duck and which then
would be at home?
That minnie ball of wit that hits the
heart of the subject attacked is n gift
of few; the least effort and the shot
misses. The wise will never strive TO
force what must be sped unheralded if
at all. 1t is special dispcnsation.
For instance, that bucolic prebendary
of St. Paul's who loved his jest rs he
did his dinner, one day saw Mrs. Grote
enter the drawing-room wearing n tur-
ban of bright, red velvet, II never
knew the meaning of 'grotesque' be-
fore" he exclaimed to a friend by his
side. Only the good humor of the
speaker kept the saying from harshness
which is the temptation of the witty
conversationalist.
On another occasion when friend
complained of the temperature of the
cathedral, Sidney Smith replied, 1T Is
so cold that the sentences are frozen as
they come out of my mouth and are
thawed in the course of the summer,
making strange noises and unexpected
assertions in various parts of tho
| church"
Yet there are those who may be said
/ to make conversation a profession.
| The imparting of what mind and heart
have stored becomes necessity. Who
would not 90 far and fare simply, in
order to listen to the Corinne-like clo-
| uuence of Madame de Stael in her
! Paris salon? Or to hear the subtle,
incisivc, stimulating monologucs OF
| Margaret Fuller who, with half-shut
ewes and rapt face poured forth the
| treasures of her heart in order to bring
out those in others?
There is tingling. electric fire in
the impassioned human voice which
affects us like nothing else. Its undu-
lations starting from one soul without
! circumlocution reach another. The
tongue may utter falsehoods, the voice
cannot. 1t paints mental pictures
throhbing with life and love such as
the artists brush can never make. In
stinct with keenest melody or iangling
inharmony it brings us into vital rela'
ton with the speaker. If we have vii
and strong magnetic powers we art
persuaded against our wish.-Gooc
! H0USCkeCBiHq.

growth. The soil is packed and
robbed OF its rightful and natural
mulching and fertilizer; and conse-
quently the meadow is impoverished
and the grass only makes half crop.
In sowing grass for pasture the best
results are reached by sowing mix
ture-for instance, of redtop, timothy,
kentucky blue grass, meadow fescue,
and meadow oat grass--bearing in
mind that mixture of several sorts is
more likely to afford herbage through
the whole summer, and to be more
permanent. In seeding for meadows,
though, it is better to sow only one
kind of seed, as the different kinds will
very seldom be ready to harvest at the
same time.
The Poultry Record gives this method
Of lining eggs for long keeping: To
one pint of salt and one pint of fresh
lime add four gallons of boiling water.
When cold put it in stone jars. Then
with n dish let down your fresh eggs
into it, tipping the dish after it fills
with the fluid, so they will roll out
without cracking the shell, for if the
shell be cracked the egg will spoil.

them fresh. Keep covered in cool
place, and they will keep fresh for a
year.
The growing of clover is equal to
deep plowing, because its roots penc-
trate deeply in search of food for the
stems and leaves, which, if plowed in-
to the land, will undergo decomposi-
ton and leave, near the surface, ele-
ments taken from the suboil. Its
leaves take carbonic acid largely from
the atmosphere, and the plowing in of
this crop augments the carbon of the
soil very materially, which changes
its color and gives it greater capacity
to absorb solar heat and to retain ma
nurcs and ammonia. whether resulting
from their decomposition or absorbed
from the atmosphere.

Did You Ever Kill Anybody ?
Yankee Rlnla

1t may seem at first glance that nobody
has any right TO hurl such monstrons
question at promiscuous public. But
however startling the statement may be,
about one.half of the population is
methodically engaged in killing off the
other half. II Darwin's famous theory
of the survival of the fittest is true land
who can doubt itg), the strongest survive
and the weak est. perish. 1t Is said that
80 per cent. OF the people who go into
business fail. Com petition is SO strong
that only the shrewdest, the most active,
and the most vigilant succeed, and under
the operation OF natural business laws
this small fraction dispossesses the other

whole field themselves. The little fish

A Mexican Who Became Angry ON the Death
of His Godchild.

A Mexican Who Became Angry ON the Death
of His Godchild.
A man named Medina will shortly be
tried here for witch killing. In village
not far distant from the city an old
woman levied monthly tribute on all the
families, threate :ing all VINO refused with
killing their children. She surrounded
herself with all the paraphernalia of
witchcraft, such as brooms, tomcats and
strange instruments. She would often
go out Oh large, open moor or top of
tho hills, when the superstitIous inhhbi'
tants of the village watched her with awe,
making wild gestures uttering cries or
gazing for hours at the horizon. All the
village believed in her powers and regard
ed her with dread. A snort time since a
godchild of Medina's died, aud meeting
the witch Medina asked her Why she had
killed his godchild. She answered that
she had done it because its father had re-
fused TO pay her monthly tax. Medina
then turned away, muttering that he
woeld be revenged.
The witch, hearing him, threatened to
take the life of Medina's own child, and
he then attacked her and dealt her two
three furious blows, leaving her iifeless.
Medina has been brought to this city.
His counsel is Emile Romero, and all the
inhabitants of the village are ready to
testify that the old woman was nearly n
witch and deserved her fate. The case
shows how much credulity and suprrsti.
tion is still alive among the Inhabitants
of the rural districts in Mexico.
