Bright's Teacher in Oratory.

During his life John Bright often
spoke gratefully and reverently of his
rare power to sway men by his oratory,
and often said he caught the noble Sc
cret of speaking to the people in their
own tongue" from workingman in his
fathers mill. He sat at the feet of this
workingman to learn, and when once
in young manhood he asked his
teacher to point out the chief defect in
Mis- public speaking, the wise workman
answered.;
at needs more directness, master,
more simplicity. These words of ono
and two syllabies, master, such as the
folk use. and homely figures. like what
they are used to. Not so many birds
and flowers, and things cut and dried
before you begin. Let them bloom
and sing as they come and 60 on the
wings OF your thought, MASTER"
And persistently and conscientiouslv
needing the suggestions thus offered,
John Bright became one of the fore.
most among orators Of his generation.

iron many things we must be con-
tent to remain indefinitely in q state of
mental suspense. The life OF any one
man is too short and his powers are
too limited to solve any considerable
number Of the many questions which
are continually arising in the various
departments Of thought. The bust
ness man. for example. may be inter-
ested in the discussion OF scientists, in
tho various systems Of art in the new
discoveries OF medicine, in tho schemes
OF philanthropists or the theories OF
philosophers. Yet he cannot form

his line of thought; and. il he be wise,
he will be willing to remain uncertain

CHAPTER XVII.
CLEAR SKIES.

Although England was now to me and to
my wife land very different from the one
we quilted some eight months ago we were
anxious to get back to Seville il only to set
at rest my mothers fears. She, poor wO-
man, rs letter showed, was much exer-
cised as to what manner of business could
have made us leave her in so unceremonious
way. The moment the glad truth had be-
come known to me, l had telegraphed, say
inK that all was well with us. and that we
should join her. Two things only detained
us.
The first was that we wanted the cOnvict's
confession. Although Philippa said little
on the subject, knew that until 1t arrived
she would not be happy. There was with
her haunting dread that the man, in the
hopes of mitigating his sentence, had plead
ed guilty to crime of which he was inno-
cent. Even the accurate account which l
gave her of my interview with the solicitor
did not quite satisfy her. So we waited inn
patiently for the explanation, which might
or might not come.
The second thing which kept us in Lon
don was this. determined that before l
left would have the fact that when / mar
ried Philippa l married Lady FeDrand fully
acknowledged. found my way to the gem
tlemen who were winding up the dead mans
affairs, and stated my case to their iEeredu-
lous ears. At first they treated me as an
impOstor.
But not for long. Indeed, my task was
half done. They had already, without any
assistance from Mrs. Wilson, ferreted out
the date and particulars of the death of the
first Lady Ferrand. They had but to assure
themselves that the marriage-certiicat
which laid before them was no forgery,
and surrender at discretion.
1t was poor estate, the administrators
told me. Sir Mervyn had died intestate.
He had during his lifetime made away with
nearly all he could ALLEVIATE. Still, there was
some personal property, Of which my wife
could claim share, and certain amount
OF real property, OH which she was entitled
to dover. But 1t was very poor estate.

- WON OEf:FUL cow.
1t Gives Birth to Two Lambs ana
Calf-The Family Thriving.

1t Gives Birth to Two Lambs ana y
CaIf-The Family Thriving.
The farmers OF the township OF
Tccumseh. in south Simcoc, are great,
~ interested at present in Il strange
freak of nature which has taken place
in their midst. being nothing less than
IL COW giving birth to two lambs and a
calf.
The interesting event occurred on
the farm of John Henry Carter, lot 4.
eighth concession line, Sunday. April
TX, and when the news spread abroad
so many people wanted to see .h6
curiosities that Mr.. Carter finally Ge.
cided TO get rid of them. and disposed
OF the COW and her progeny to Isaac NJ
Cross, an enterprising young farmer Of
Bondhead.
The animals were removed to Totem
ham and IL few days ago the Toronto
Globe was invited to send up a man to
see the stock and investigate independ-
emily the correctness of the story.
At a first glance the reporter was
rather disappointed in the lambs. hav.
ing entertained some vague idel on
the subject, and hoping to see fully
developed calf with the face of lamb
or vice versa. But they appeared tc
his uneducated eye to be ordinary
lambs and nothing more. This was at
II first glance. A subsequent careful.
examination and comparison with other
lambs OF the same age showed a
marked difference. Those OF the un-
natural parcntage are larger ana
coarser, the wool is darker and in
toward the pelt it is like the hair on q
maltese cat there is taft of hair on
the breastbetween the forelegs similar
to that of IA calf. The legs are hairy
and the wool is slightly strcaked with
HAIR. The mouth is dark inside and
larger and firmer looking than that of
lamb and the tail is frequently thrown
over the back after the manner of a
calf.
They are both eve lambs. These
indications, to an experienced breeder,
are OF themselves sufficient to prove
the authenticity OF the story regarding
their strange birth. There is strong.
likelihood OF their growing to large
size. and on both oi their heads there
are dark spots, indicating IA possibility
OF horns They are at present as large
as ordinary year-old lambs
The cow is an ordinary, comm o.,
grade red COW, without any PROHIBITIONS
to pedigree. 1t is kept in the next
stall to the lambs, and munches away
quite contentedly.
The calf, which was born shortly al Ter
the lambs, Is also in the group, but il
has not the slightest claim to dist &C.
ton. further than the fact that it Is
brother to the lambs. All four are
healthy and demonstrating. -Chica-
