A Public speaber,s Methods.

As to set speeches of the more oratorical sort, have tried all methods. Sometimes I write and then read from manuscript, which is apt to detract from the interest of the speech and to impair the sympathetic rela- tion between the speaker and his audience. Sometimes I write, commit carefully and re- peat from memory, which is the usual and g. wise practice with nearly all speakers. Some times arrange a line of thought and illus tration, putting headings on piece of paper, or, what is quite as easy, fixing them in my mind and depending on the moment of speak ing for the fitting words. Sometimes speak extemporaneously both as to words and to material.
 have failed with each method and suc- ceeded with each method. I succeeded hand somely for mel in some of the first speeches ever attempted, thirty years ago, and have lamentably failed in recent ones. The same speech, delivered, so far as could see, in the same manner, has been at one time and place a success, and at another dismal failure. I am inclined to think, therefore, that the re- suit depends often largely upon the atmosphere of the particular occa- sion reacting upon the speaker l have found myself pumping hard and dry before small, scattered audience half filling hall, and hanging back in the rear of it, boys playing a drum beat on the floor with their heels, and stragglers lettering in and out at the doors; and at another time, with the same speech, in great hall, before @ mighty audience, where there was upon me not only the most intense nervous, but the most intense physical strain, I have found myself sailing, it seemed to me, like ship under full sail before fresh breeze. have been indeed led to believe that anything that tends to physical tension and excitement, like the effort to fill large hall and to hold the attention of great audience, is help in public speaking, and gives tension and ex- citement to the nervous and mental machin- cry. There are those who also think it inn portant, as a matter of physical condition, to refrain from eating before speaking. This seems to me hardly worth while.-John D. Long in The Writer.

Bathing PiIerims fin India.

Crowds of people are descending or ascend ing these many flights of steps, and in front of them were hundreds bathing in the sacred stream. Our boat was broad keeled, with Q sort of arch roof, on which we sat, while several oarsmen slowly stemmed the strong current close to the shore on the city's side and close to the bathers. The view of the city from the distance was wonderfully fine. The view of the bathing pilgrims when closely seen was wonderfully strange and interesting They were of all ages and of both sexes, and of many conditions-the well to do and the very poorest; the most robust and the emaci- ated and diseased; the most athletic-their chisel-and the deformed and shrunken limbed ascetic.
 Some sprang down the long flights of steps as if fatigue had never been known; others were tottering and leaning upon long staffs, or were supported by friends or servants Some entered the water with joyous faces, and eyes sparkling with hope; others slowly and raverently, as if they could scarcely be thankful and humble enough for the great boon they were about to enjoy. After wading out to nearly waist deep, all would place their hands reverently before them, utter a prayer, evidently in great earnestness, and then dip themselves under, generally, I thought, three times. After this they would wash themselves with great care, scraping the bottoms of the feet and scrubbing the inside of the mouth as if doing their best to take some of it out. Many had flowers as offerings; these they would throw in one by one as they prayed.-Carter Harrison's BenareS Letter.

Effect of Glare Upon EyesIsht.

i It appears that Professor Plateau, of the University of Ghent. while trying to observe the effects of the irritation of the retina gazed steadily at the sun for twenty seconds, the result being that chronic irido-choroiditis developed, ending eventually in total blind ness. A number of cases are known in which choroiditis and retinitis occurred in persons who had observed an eclipse of the sun. The single flash of sun reflector has been known to cause retinitis, and other temporary visual disturbances of a functional character have been frequently noted.
 M. Reich has described curious epidemic of snow blindness, which occurred among a body of laborers engaged in cleaning way through the masses of snow which obstructed the road between Passanaur and Mteti, in the Caucasus; the rays of the sun reflected from the vast stretches of snow on every side, pro- duced an intense glare of light, which the unaccustomed eye could not support without the protection of dark glasses. A few of the sturdiest among the laborers were able to work with impunity, but the majority suf- fered so much that among seventy strongly marked cases, thirty were so severe that the men were absolutely unable to continue work or to find their way home, and lay prone on their faces, striving to hide their faces from the light and crying out from pain. Recovery was gradual but complete. New York Tribune. -

He Could Telegraph, Too. :

I heard funny incident the other day. MT. G. l.. Woolley, the electrician of this city, was dining at the Superior house in Cleveland, and it so happened that the only other occupants of the table with him were bevy of lady telegraph operators. MT. Woolley has been very successful in his busi- ness, and is able to gratify strong penchant that he has for diamonds, and he generally wears one or two of startling proportions. He is also an expert telegraph operator. As soon as they were seated one of the young ladies began to size him up; then placing her knife blade between the tines of her fork, she initiated a telegraph sounder and tele- graphed to her companions:
 'Get onto his nobs with the big diamond" :"
 Woolley caught on at once, and as soon as all the girls had turned their attention to him he, in the same manner, telegraphed:
 ''Ah, there! Are you all on?"
 A general stampede of the ladies followed, and they dined somewhere else that day. Grand Rapids Telegram Herald.

Natural Gas and Fat Chickens.

Somewhere in the book of Job the Har- monites found authority to drill into the earth for fuel, and, acting upon such author ity, discovered reservoir of natural gas 1,8OO feet underneath their hearthstones. It has been piped through the village, and serves for both fuel and light in every home.l Coal, wood and oil are no longer used. At every street corner are elevated pipes where flames burn night and day, winter and sum- mer. They are never extinguished. Econ omy is certainly the best lighted village in America; one can read fine print in almost any of the streets at midnight
 Do you like natural gas, August!" we ask.
 "Goot! goot It makes my shickens fatl"

IN WISCONSIN LUMBER REGIONS.
Processes of Using Up the Slabs-Girla
 "Edging'' shinsles-Sawing Lath.

nSAG8@S8WlHfS
 We now had seen the logs made into lum- Der, but there remained the interesting pro- cesses of using up the slabs. As they came along on sort of roadway furnished with rollers, a small, powerful circular saw was drawn through them, cutting them into lengths for lath; they were then fed through a tiny gang of saws by boys, and the laths were made. Upon another similar roadway, logs squared on all sides were travelling slowly; these were sawed into shlngle blocks" in much the same way that the lath blocks were cut. The shingle blocks were laid on a frame which held two at a time, ad- justed to the action of a circular saw be meath, which dropped the shingles necessarily to the hands below.
 Going down, we came upon four girls standing before the cataract of shingles, "edging" them. They worked seemingly as fast as they could, and without looking up.
 ''That appears heavy labor" said to MT. Brown. "I don't like to see women in such a place."
 "It is hard, but they like it. They'd rather do it than homework. If want a girl all have to do is to tell one of these, and there'n be a dozen after the place tomorrow"
 ''They look young, too, many of them"
 "They are, and they ought to be in school; 1; so ought those little boys up there saving lath. But the excitement of working in a mill and of being together in company is what brings them here. They get s1 day"
 Below these girls were the ''sorters," who received higher pay, as it requires more judgment to distinguish instantly to what grade each shingle belongs. Next these, the packers" who work by the piece; and wonderfully delft and accurate they were, as with rhythmic motion they laid the shin gles swiftly in the open bale, ready to be bound and marked
 They were all neatly dressed and looked very attractive amid such rude surroundings. As we stood in the door about to leave, the edgers above began to sing hymn, its diff ferent parts all being sustained. It was strangely thrilling to hear these sweet girlish voices swelling above the distant thunder of the machinery and displacing the ceaseless angry screaming of the saws It was a les son to me to hear these little folks thus light ening their labor, with song.-G. O. Shields in American Magazine.

Scene at the Market.

At one of the stalls family group were congregated, the head of the household anx- ious to make a purchase, but finding it Q hard matter to reconcile the conflicting conditions of a slim purse and inordinate needs. The salesman was growing impatient, for other customers were waiting to be served; never theless the group monopolized his attention, and finally, after consuming considerable time, invested the veriest trif1e. The sales man was thoroughly disgusted, and sharply rebuked the customer for taking up his time so unproftably, whereupon the purchaser rather sadly answered: "Well, sir, if you had so many to feed and only that bit of money to do it with, you'd be as much bothered as I was to know what to do." The salesman's features relaxed before such conclusive req soning, and, as though to atone for his ap. parent harshness, he slipped several pieces of beef into the others basket m q gratuitous worth a dozen apologies Boston Budget "Saunterer."
