How to be Agrees able.

Very rarely, if ever, young per sons acquire the ability to converse with ease and iluency. This implies first of all, good ideas, clearly, and sensibly expressed. An empty mind never made good talker; re- member, "you cannot draw water out of an empty we'll. Next in i'm portance is self-possession. "oelf- possession is nine points in the law w' of good breeding.
 A good voice is as essential to self-possession as gool i''r'5 are e'- spn,iaI to tuent language. Inc voice. from infancy. should be care fully trained and developed; full, clear. flexible voice is one of the surest indications of good breeding; it falls like music on the ear, and while it pleases the listener 1t adds to the confidence of its possessor, be he ever so timid. One may be witty without being agreeable; great talker and yet great bore. It IS wise. then to note carefully the fol- lowing suggestions.
 Be sincere: he who habitually sneers at everything, will not only render himself disagreeable to others, but will soon cease to find pleasure in life.
 Be frank; frank, open cOunte- nance and a clear, cheery laugh, are worth far more even socially, than ''pedantry in a stiff cravat.'
 Be amiable; you hide a vindic- tive nature under a polite exterior for a time. as a cat makes its sharp claws i'll velvet fur, but the least provocatlon brings out one as quick lv as the other; illnatured persons are always disliked.
 Be sensible; society never lacks for fools. If you want eIbow-room, ''go mp higher
 Be cheerful; if you have no great trouble on your mind, you have no right to render other people miser- able by your face and dolorous tones. If you do you will be generally avoided
 Be, above all, cordial; true cor diality unites all the qualities we have enumerated.

The Presence of Death.

Here is an interesting story which shows how cool man can be i'll the presence of death:
 One day during the latter part of the war Dr. Willis Westmorland was dressing the wound of soldier who had been shot in the neck near the carotid artery.
 Suddenly the blood vessel gave way and just so quickly the surgeon thrust his finger into the hole to stop the flow.
 Doctor, said the soldier, what does that mean!
 It means death, said the surgeon calmly.
 How long can l live? asked the soldier, whose mind was perfectly clear.
 Until I remove my finger, said Dr. estmorland.
 The soldier asked for pen and paper. wrote his will and an effec- tionate letter to his wife, and when the last thing was done, said quietly :
 Let it go.
 The surgeon withdrew his finger, the blood rushed out, and soon the man was dead.
 The brave fellow was buried in Oakland and ever since Dr. West moreland has gone on Memorial day and placed flowers on the grave. This year when Memorial day came the doctor was at Salt Springs. He left the scene of gayety, came to At lanta, and carried his tribute of flowers to the grave of one who was calm and brave in the presence of death. - New York Graphic.

Before marriage they were worth little. after it worth much. Man never appreciates his inferiority to woman so thoroughly as when he stands before the altar in the pres ence of an audience of friends, and hears the clergyman make him hus- band. Nine out of ten men in such a position tremble as if they were about to be arrested for murder, while nine out of ten women go through the ceremony as gracefully as if it were an every day occurrence. And it is this timerous creature in q dress suit that promises to protect the calm and placil angel whose orange blossoms are her aurcole. What delicious sarcasm there is in the thought! And in after life, when the husband gets torn up by care, and when a little trouble comes to steal away his peace of mind, how is it then? The woman whom he promised to protect becomes his pro- tector. She sees sunshine through the clouds. She smooths out the wrinkled brow of care. She props up his Tagging spirits. She puts new life into his bosom, new hope into his soul, and he goes forth in the morning with new strength and zeal to wrestle with life and its re- responsibilities. Woman may be the weaker vessel, but she isn't broken up and doesn't go to pieces as soon as man. .'- Selected.

They Rode With Him.

''Speaking about tramps who beat the railroads, said Detroit freight conductor the other day, II had q pretty interesting adventure last fall. l was coming in on freight on the Michigan Central, and we were at Dearborn at 10 o o'clock, Just before we were ready to pull out q tramp came along and said:
 Captain, few of us would like to ride into town with you.
 Let $ see the crowd.
 He whistled, and twentv-seven hard looking tramps came out from fence corners. l cant take you, said.
 But captain do you realize the situation:'
 I thInk l do.
 Perhaps you don't. Our business is very important and we must get into the city
 He whistled and the men strung out along the train, from the engine to the caboose.
 I have an engineer and fireman here, but you may prefer to keep yours, said the fellow as he turned to me.
 And 1 can act as conductor he continued. Captain, will you ride with Us, or shall we ride with you"
 I knuckled. There were enough to take the train, and l knew they d do it, and as for any help out there it would not have amounted to more than one constable. told 'em Fd be glad to have em ride with me, and l brought the whole twenty seven in on top the cars, each one as courteous and polite as Chesterfield, but each one ready to sail into us at the first sign of treachery.

A Courtship Ruse.

There IS young man i'll q certain city, good-looking fellow, who has sweetheart out in the country q few miles, and he spends two even ings every week in her society. A few nights ago he stayed to the usual hour, and as he passed out of the front door he discovered that it was cloudy and dark. He did not relish the idea of walking home alone through the gloomy night, and hinted a good deal to get an invita- ton to remain, but it was not forth coming. But the young man was equal to the emergency. Going down the steps he artfully contrived to slip and fall gently to the ground. Thereupon he set up q tremendous grooming, The rusc worked admira- bly,. The girl screamed, and the men came and carried the young man tenderly into the house. Then he was assisted to undress and de- posted in the spare room. He had hardly began to chuckle over the success of his stratagem when the girls mother put in an appearance, armed with mustard plaster q foot square. This she immediately pro- ceeded to slap on the young mans shoulder, where he had internationally located the damage to his frame. For two mortal hours that woman sat by the bed, and was not satisfied till she saw blister an inch deep. The young man is now reformed.- EX- change.

Dumas and the Cabman.

My father had inherited from my grandfather remarkable strength. of which 1 had the first experience when l was If or l5 years of age, One Sunday he had taken me to the Gymnase. At the end of the play it rained in torrents. He moved to- ward fiacre stationed on the boule- ward and signaled me to follow him. He gave an address to the cabby, who stood upright beside his vehicle, into which we prepard to mount. The coachman put his hand on the door, saying:
 Il don't move step for less this time than five frances for tEe jour ney."
 "Will you not move;"
 No"
 "Once, twice, thrice" Cabby did not respond, but remained with his hand on the door. Then my father seized him round the waist, lifted hlm up from the ground, and planting him on the seat said, "Go now then taking his place in the cab, he said Bear in mind always how to do with an obstinate coach man." l have not forgotten the procedure, but l have never put it in practice-not that cabmen have become more civil, but that other things are different.- Alexander Dumas

The Farmer and the Tariff.

It is a well understood fact that the great bulk of our exports is the product of our farms. We send abroad less than , per cent of our manufactured articles, The prices of farm products are regulated by the foreign demand for our surplus and not by the home market. This being the case it follows as natural consequence that our farmers sell Tn the open markets of the world, that is. free trade market, while the things they consume are purchased in d restricted or highly protracted market.
 In other words, our government does not interfere with the agricul- turalist's right to sell his surplus produts where he pieases but when he comes to purchase articles in the market where he sells them, the gov ernment steps in and says: You may exchange your wheat for iron, wooden clothes, blankets, etc., but when they enter our ports we shall exact a tax averaging e per cent, on your wool cloth, clothing, hats, caps, socks, etc., and from S1 to l20 per cent, on your blankets. If you wish to import machinery made of wood :, iron or steel for use on your farm we will tax you B per cent. on the wood and from 20 to 100 per cent on the iron or steel" 7"
 On inquiry the farmer learns that the duty on woolen goods and on iron and steel is almost prohibitory. Forced to purchase in the home mar ket he finds that the heavy tax on these articles enhances the cost to an amount equal to the foreign cost with duty added. transportation, custom house dues. commission, etc. On investigation, he asks himself why is he thus taxed? He has no objection to a tax for the support of the gov ernment but here is tax which amounts almost to prohibition, and to that extent does not benefit the revenue. There are over ten billions of dollars invested in farms in the United States, and farm products amount to at least four times as much as that of manufactures.
 The laborers engaged in agricul- ture amount to DO per cent. of all laborers in the country, Clearly then, the unprotected agricultural interest supports very largely the highly protected manufacturing in- dustries.
 Surprised at this showing, the farmer pushes his inquiry still furth- CT, and finds that the whole people pay one billion dollars on account of ! this customs revenue tax. Of this | $2lj .0OO GOO finds it's way into the United States treasury, and SSS5. GOO ,0oO goes to support the protect ed industries. He finds that fol every dollar paid by the manufact- urer. the farmer pays about four-and a-half times as much And since the farmer sells in free trade mar. ket, the 90 per cent. of farm laborers have to compete with the ''paupei labor of great wheat producing Russia, where the farm hands re. ceiye about 20 cents day.
 Surely the farmer has reason tC examine his relations to the high tariff very closely.-[St. Louis Re public.
