A Picture OF the Speaker.


The man from Maine who is now di-
yiding the leadership of his party with
James CT. Blaine is man over six feet
in height. The table by which he was
standing exactly measured tho diameter
of his portly form at that distance from
tho ground. His shoulders are narrow
in proportion. His forehead is receding,
while the back Of his head is high and
well developed. His eyes are bright and
have droll look about them. HIS face
is round-almost boyish. He wears q
short. bristiy, sandy.moustache, and what
little hair he has il cut very short and
plastered very tightly to his head by
careful brush. His arms are long and
his hands large enough to make the for
tune of catcher on n baseball team.
When in repose he folds his big hands
in front of his portly breast, leans his
head forward, and opens his mouth
slightly. The moment Speaker Reed
stands before an audience he is master
of the situation, and in addition to the
natural capacity and long prac-
tice as a public speaker no now

knows that his own political fortunes
are at stake. He speaks slowly, delib-
erately, and with straightforward sim
plicity that is very effective. His voice
is that of genuine Yankee with the
nasal drawl, its resonance, and a dis
tinctive New England RECOMMENDATION
which years of association with men
from all parts OF this country have not
in the least modified. The most marked
feature of this pronunciation aside from
the broad ga" is illustrated by charade
which was once played in Speaker
Reeds native town. The party was
informed that sit rhymed with Noah,
and the New Englanders of the party
guessed door" as a matter of course.

Winter. as we understand It, east Of
the Rockies does not exist. l scarcely
know how 10 divide the seasons. There
are at most but three. Spring may be
sad to begin with December and end III
April summer with May Whose days,
however, are often cooler than those OF

while October and November are a
mild autumn, when nature takes q par

eastern berry, may be eaten in every
month OF the year, and ripe figs may be
picked from July to March What
shall / say of frost ian affair of only
Just an hour before sunrise) which Is
hardly anywhere severe enough to dis
turb the delicate heliotrope, and even in
the deepest valleys where it may chill
the orange, will respect the bloom OF
that fruit on contiguous ground fifty or
a hundred feet higher? We boast about
many things in the United States, about
our billiards and our cyclones, our IN
undations and cur areas of low pressure,
our hottest and our coolest places
in the world, but what can we say for
this little corner which is practically
frostless, and yet never had sun
stroke. knows nothing OF thunder
storms and lightning, never experienced
a cyclone, which is so warm that the
wear round one is tempted TO live out-of-
doors, and SO cold that woollen garments
are never uncomfortable !? Nature here.
in this protected and petted area, has
the knack OF being genial without being
enervating, of being stimulating without
"bracing" person into the tomb. i
think it conducive to equanimity OF
spirit and to longevity to sit in an orange
grove and eat the fruit and inhale the
fragrance Of it while gazing upon q snow
mountain.
