REPORTING RAPID TALK.


How Tom o Neill Took Notes of Beecher's
Lecture on Evolution.

the mayors private secretary, Tom

On squirting until at last he struck his
gait. Heavens! how he talked. No
manuscript. No notes. He just stood
up there by his desk with one hand on
it, othe other by his side. His mouth
was open, and without changing the
expression Of his face or moving
muscle the words came rolling out one
after another like drops of lead from the
summit of shot tower. | did my best

him, hoping that at each word he
would pause long enough for breath to

HUMAN HAPPINESS.

1t Is Secured When Physical and Mental
Labor Are Judiciously Mingled.
Work either of the muscles or the
brain, is one of the conditions of human
happiness. Without it there can be no
wholesome enjoyment. The idle man
either seeks a substitute for the healthy
excitemens of labor in vicious indul-
gence, or degenerates into being only
few degrees above the lower animals
His soul and mind, in the one case, be-
come degraded and debased by false
uses; in the other, they rust within
him, and he is left to the government of
the mere instincts which he possesses
in common with the brute.
The truest life-that most accordant
with our nature-is one in which phys
ical and mental labor are iudiciously
mingled alternating with such recrea-
ton as tends to refresh and renovate
both. Neither constant bodily toll nor
incessant study is advisable. When the
muscles are tired give them recess
and do little head-work When both
head and hand are weary. try amuse-
ment-light reading of a wholesome
klnd, romp with your chill
dren, If you have any, social even

that may properly be termed innocent
relaxation. This is rational life. 1t is
sort Of life that may be warranted to
wear well, and it will not be clouded

able to give some inside information
about ex-President Cleveland's romance. At
the time of the wedding the mouths of the presi-
dent and his wife were as tight as that of a clam
concerning their love affair. None of their
friends knew much about their courtship, and
they went on the principle OF the great German
proverb that speech is silver, but silence is
golden ~ The wedding is still gossiped about
here and the women pronounce it a love match
while the men invariably take the ground that
the White House had good deal to do with
Mrs. CIeveland's acceptance. 1t seems that the
men are somewhat in the right, and lady who
lately returned from a wedding trip to the con-
tinent gives of my friends a conversation
which she had with Mrs Cleveland not long ago.
The story as it comes to me is quite spicy and

courtship. She listened with interest and

your friends. have told you my story and
now l want you to tell me yours. How long
were you engaged to the president before you
married?'
Mrs. Cleveland laughed and bIushed and
said:

told about US, but honestly they hardly as
fnnny as it really was. Uncle Grover proposed
to me five times before / accepted him. First,
when I was fourteen, and just laughed at the
idea, for he seemed so much older. Then again

one. and he let things go for year, or until he
was nominated for the presidency. Then he
asked me again, and again refused. At last he
was elected, and promised to marry him in
