Hints to Amateur Reciters.

Emphasis is no less important than
infection. In every sentence there
are particular words demanding spe-
cial accentuation; and by a false
quantity the meaning of a phrase may
be entirely misrepresented. Nouns
and verbs receive the largest share OF
attention in this regard. Contrasts
must be strongly marked, while anti
theses demand the greatest force OF
emphasis. To keep an attentive eye
upon the precise meaning Of the text
is the great desideratum.
Should doubt arise as to the correct
emphasis OF q sentence, a useful rule
is as follows; II il Q fact that in ordi-
nary conversation, ~people-even the
least educated instinctively speak
with expressive accentuation il is only
when they come to render the thoughts
Of others, or TO read from a printed
page, that their habitual and uncon-
sciously acquired art fails them. Thus
the proper emphasis is the natural.
Take, therefore, your doubtful passage
and express the thought colloquially-
as you would talk it 10 your friend
across the table.
You will thus obtain, not always
the proper lone (the due dignity might
be wanting), but you will invariably
perceive the natural, and therefore the
correct, accentuation. Rate Of utter.
ance must also be attended 10. The
gay, the mirthful. the amusing should
speed buoyantly along. Converse.
tional passages should be spoken trip
pingly on the tongue. Dignity re
quires a certain stately, measured
movement The reverent and sorrow
full are slowly uttered. In the
very whirlwind Of passion the speed
is titful, the utterance irregular and
abrupt. Sarcasm is generally OBJ
trusiyely deliberate. 1yros usually
burn TO learn gesture; but graceful,
appropriate and powerful action is al
most a special genius in itself.
Let the amateur be as sparing with
gesture as he can. A great elocu-
zionist advises that no movement
whatever be used for the use Of which
the reciter cannot give reasons in
writing. He states that his own
method is to employ during early re-
hearsal every gesture that suggests
itself, and thereafter TO thin them
down, retaining none for which there
is not clear necessity. -Cassells Maya

OIL of ~Sassafras.

The manufacture Of the oil OF sassa,
fras is becoming an important indus
try in some parts OF the country, espe-
cially in the southern states, where
this tree is common. Only the roots
are used; they are chopped into small
pieces by a machine constructed for
the purpose, the oil being then dis.
titled from the chips by the aid OF
steam. About one gallon Of the oil,
weighing nine pounds, is obtained
from 1000 pounds Of the chips. The
usesfo which the oil of sassafras can be
employed are numerous and varied.
II is a favorite perfume for soaps and
candies; 1t is used as a solvent for diff.
ferent gums, and as a linimcnt. ID is
also very largely employed in the
manufacture Of several popular pro-
prietary medicines. The importance
Of this industry may be expected to
increase rather than diminish, as the
s~assafras and the persimmon are the
two trees which are spreading most
rapidly over the old and abandoned
fields throughout the southern states

present prices good wages can be made

QUO De o DEATH.

career of that brilliant Brenchman,
Che Due de Biron, when condemned TO

against Henry ", was of a tragical
