THE MAN WHO sPouTs.
Here Is q Little Tender Guidance for
Amateur ElocutIonIsts.

Amateur Elocutionists.
The mine from which the reciter
draws his material is in itself danger
ously broad and deep-nothipg less
than the wide field of English litera-
ture. In 1t he finds things he is
tempted to recite because he loves
them. But that is one of the worst of
reasons for choosing them. They
may or may not gain by recitation.
His personal love for them must not
cloud his judgment He finds pieces
magnificent in drama and scope for
defamation, but the drama may be
purely taken from the literary point
of view. and its very excellence judged
thence may be faults from the actors
and rcciter's points of view.
Or the drama may be impossible for
a public audience. One poem may
touch too intimately or penetratingly
some domestic or life sorrow, and an
other may jar on some feeling, pos
sibly even some prejudice, which the
reclter may not sym pathize with, but
which he is none the less bound to re-
spect in his listeners. And. lastly.
some tiresome incongruity Of appear
ance or manner may be the touchstone
that decides his sentence against a
poem, which, If it be a poem he par
ticularly likes and desires to recite, is
more than sufficiently annoying.
A man, for instance, with cherry
face should not recite 1.-THE Dream Of
Eugene .Aram," 1.-THE Raven" or I'll
Penseroso;" nor should pale, spare
man recite a line of Falstaff's or ex-
pect any great success in a scene from
'Pickwick." AS rule Ga rule with
exceptions, of course, men should
avoid all pieces written in the first
person singular in which the speaker
is woman. Shelley's CLOUD is
difficult for a man because Of its idea
personality. 1t is impossible to re-
sist the suspicion of righteousness
when man gravely says:
"Iam the daughter of earth and Of water,
And the nursing Of the sky"

Petroleum, or "rock OIL" according
TO the present theory of its origin, is
a distillate from the remains of marine
life, both animal and vegetable. 1t
sometimes finds its way to the top of
the ground and forms springs, as does
water; but it is more frequently held
down, at a great pressure, by hard,
impervious, rocky strata, lying above
the oil-bearing beds; and when in such
cases hole or ''well" is drilled down
to ii, through the superintendent
mass. 1t CUISINES mp with great force.
Within the last ten years the ''holy
land" of the Parseos has become the
seat of a vast petroleum trade. Baku
is now a grand kerosene oil refinery.
The industry is not yet as fully de-
veloped there as in our own oil region
Of Pennsylvania Pennsylvania has
nearly thirty thousand oil-wells,
against FIVE hundred at Baku. But
the five hundred Baku wells are dis
charging as much petroleum to-day as
the thirty thousand American wells.
AT Baku the oil is nearer the sur
face of the ground than in Pennsyl-
vania American oil-wells average
nearly fifteen hundred feet in depth,
while in Baku the average depth is
scarcely six hundred feet In Ameri-
ca, too, the diameter OF oil-wells is
but about five inches, while those ut
Baku are rarely drilled less than a
foot in diameter.
The discharge OF oil and gas from
some of the wells at Baku has been so
profuse and violent that mere state
mens of the facts seems too marvellous
for belief These facts, however, come
to us we'll attested.
In one case where a well was being
drilled, the auger. or drill, at depth
of five hundred and seventy feet sud-
denly penetrated to the oil strata and
was blown bodily out of the shaft with
tremendous violence. With a roar
that could be plainly heard at dis
lance of two miles, the gas blew of
for some minutes, and was followed by
an equally terrific blast Of oil.
The derrick which had supported
the drill was seventy feet in height
The jet of oil and sand blew away the
top OF the derrick and rose two hun
dred feet above IL All efforts TO CHECK
the discharge by blocking the shat
proved useless. Log plugs. and ever
huge stones, we're thrown aside lik,
feathers Throughout September an,
October this geyser continued to dis
charge oil at the rate of nearly tw,
millions Of gallons day. Pools an,

boats on, were formed on the adiacen

Thomas, Ontario on Friday evening, and
narrowly escaped death. He went up 4,OOO
feet. The top guy-rope of the balloon be-
came fastened to the parachute, and 1t was
not until the balloon had reached within
900 feet of the ground in its descent that
the Rronaut was able to shake the rope off.
He had jumped before making the dis
covery. The balloon would have turned
over upon the parachute, driving 1t to the
ground, and instant death would have
been the result Hogan alighted upon
stone, breaking two ribs and was dragged
80 feet, bruising his side and shoulder.

The blockade of a port is not more injurious
10 its commerce than is even the temporary OBJ
struction of the bowels to the health Of the sys-
tenn. Constipation necessarily arrests the Sc
erection of bile, impedes and disorders digestion,
and poisons the circulation. The safest and
most effective, as II Is also the most genial lax
ative and anti-blious medicine In existence is
Hostetters Stomach Bitters, and II Is more
than probable that Its sovereign efficacy as a
preventive and remedy for intermittent and
remittent fever is largely due to its reformatory
action upon the liver, an organ preiudicially
involved I'm all malarial complaints. Persons
with tendency also TO rheumatic, neuralgia
and kidney trouble can not do better than TO
antagonze II with Hostetters stomach Bitters,
which invariably checks IL at the outset. The
