MANS CHARACTERISTICS.
VERY Few Persons Succeed in Entirely
Disgusting Their Personalities.


Men betray their real characters In a
thousand different ways. The pro-
fessors Of the art of delineating dis
positions do so in various fashions.
One artist will undertake to describe
character from the examination of a
photog another reads Indications
OF tastes and feelings in handwriting;
nay, an American savant has recently
announced that much may he learned
regarding "A man by observing how he
wears his boots. Every one has some
small peculiarities, which, to the ac-
curate observer, may furnish
clew to his disposition. There
have been manifold instances
of strange and inconvenient re-
semblances between men leading to
cases OF mistaken Identity" and yet
probably in every instance there was
some triling and overlooked personal
trait which distinguished one Dromio
from the other. II alike in features
they differed in dispositions. 1t is
difficult, il not impossible, TO stile the
manifestations of personal traits.
Countenance or voice may be trained
and Disguised, but mans identity
will reveal itself IL some gesture, or
glance, or triling action, which be-
trays his real self TO the accurate OBJ
server.
Authors, OF all people, find it diff
cult to conceal their identity. As Hans
Anderson remarks, every author has
some popularity of style, which, even
II ne publishes anonymously, enables
those who know his works TO cry out:
There he is again!" To persons who
have risen in life, the trihing PECULIAR
tiles acquired in their original sphere
become sore trials when they them
selves arc translated into loftier po-
sition. They are always obliged to be
on their guard against some familiar
phrase, some trick or gesture which
betrays their plebeian anteccdents.
Seldom can the influences OF early life
be wholly eradicated. or all the char
acteristic, those which mark social po-
sition are the most difficult to eradi-
cate.-Lonion Standard.

BISMARCK's oRAToRY.
How the Famous Statesman Delivers Parii-
amcntary Speeches.

amcntary Speeches.
The great Bow-wow,n as Bismarck
is irrovercntly called in German parli-
amentary circles. only shows himself In
the Reichstag when he has something
important 10 say. Then he enters tho
House Immediately before his time for
speaking comes round. and leaves IL as
soon as he has said what he wishes 10
say. Though the Chancellor tried TO
keep his intention to speak close Sc
cref, the facts leak out, and tho crowd
ed assembly hall shows that neither
Reichstag nor Berlin has been taken
unawares.
Those who attend know that the
Chancellor is not far away when they
see his well-known portfolio and great
lead-pencil deposited upon the front
ministerial bench. On entering the
hall, Bismarck goes at once to his
place, opens the portfolio, takes from it
sheets OF notes and bundle Of news
papers and cuttings, arangos them
with care, and then chats with his col
leagues.
Bismarck Is no orator, and dcspises
oratory. Tho gift OF eloquence," he
once said, "has done much mischief in
parliamentary life. Oratory is waste
OF time; let us restrict ourselves to
statements OF facts"
His voice is not musical, and at times
is so weak as to make 1t difficult for the
reporters TO follow him. He adopts a
semi-conversaional style, begins slowly
and monotonously, and, with the ex-
ception Of casual breaks, proceeds and
ends us he begins. As the Chancellor
tongue can not keep pace with his
thoughts, he now and then breaks of
in the middle OF sentence, and takes
up new thought. leaving his hearers
to make the best they can Of his half.
finished sentences.
The Chancellor never declaims. never
Gatters, nor equivocates. His official
position causes the Reichstag to treas.
ure up his utterances, but he does not
disdain to aid them by apt quotations
forcible SMILES and witty illusions.
Though he once lectured the Prussiar
Parliament on the uselessness of YER
bosity, the Chancellor usually speaks
one hour, and has exceeded even two
hours. He speaks extempore, though
the heads OF his speech and the news
paper quotations are carefully noted or
sheets of paper.
Bismarcks speeches are full OF such
weighty words and proverbial philoso
ply as these political aphorisms: Com
promise is everywhere the basis of con
stitutional life;""A great State is not Il
be ruled according TO party views" ''Ht
who has his hand on the money-bag hai
the power" Freedom is luxur,
which every man can not allow him
self" "In a year and half much evi
may be done, but not much good; !
"One is willing enough to be protected
but not to pay for the protection;" ~
place never fulflls all wishes, and /
never just to all rights" LET us lear
TO respect fidelity to conviction In or
ponents."
As soon as Bismarck has said ull h
wants to say. he gathers up his papers
exchanges courte5ies with friends, an
leaves the House. Temple Bar.

psvond the regular weekly cleaning
