CONCERNING GOSSIP.
a Habit That Is Said to Enfeeble Every
Mind 1t Captiyates.

There Is not as much silence in this
country as there should be. The
speech crop. SO to speak, is entirely
TOO large. The female sex controls
most OF the speech crop, or rather the
speech crop controls the female sex.
The entire human family is much
addicted to a superhuity of words.
The early-clOsing movement will prob
ably never be applied to the mouths
OF the children of men. In fact. the
human mouth is very much over
worked. a mans mouth is made to
talk and eat, yet he often hurts him.
self dreadfully by talking, and kills
himself by eating
The ''unruly member has been the
cause of the largest part of all the sor-
rows, the quarrels and the wars that
have ever afflicted mankind. Every
one, it is said. has a mission, but il
seems to be the mission of very few
people to mind their own business.
Gossip is the business of the feeble
minded, and it cnfcebles any mind it
captivatcs. Gossip. and particularly
society gossip. is poor drivel. 1t is
only chin deep. 1t is, perhaps, not so
hard for gossipy people to mind their
own business, but it is the monotony
which they can not stand. You can
get more wind out of ten-ceat fan
than you can from "a $500 one, and it
Is the same way with a ten-cent man.
IL the proverbs OF all nations are to
be relied on, it is the female sex that
does most OF the gossiping. The
Persians, for instance. say that ten
measures OF talk were sent down upon
earth, and the women took nine. An
other saying is 10 the effect that the
woman who malleth a good pudding in
silence is better than she who maketh
a last reply.
Very few women can say with the
governeSs, who advertised for posi-
ton, that she was perfect mistress OF
her own tongue. In Zanzibar tho
women bore their ears sreadfully. In
this country il is somewhat different.
Tor they bore other peoples cars, prin-
cipally. Siftings.
