Conversation.

When one dwells upon the contemp
tible noti,ings tha5 help make up the
daily conversation of our people in gen
era1, we cannot but think what a minor
p art We play in this life, and how poor
ly we have acted our part.
1t is lamentable, yet small talk after
developes into something more serious
for the readiness to jump at conclusions
and represent the facts not as they real
ly are, but as the imaginative faculty
paints them.
In our social gatherings there is fas
cination hard to account for in gossip
to a young lady as she takes hel
first step into what is called good soci
ETY.. 1t is doubtless very pleasant yet
how injurious to the true development
of character.
Giving things slight colosing, twist
ing facts little, and certain variations
which at the time seems unavoidable, ii
the root of all dissensious between fam
lies, friends, and even closer ties.
1t is. generally pretty action, or ar
idle word that has been misinterpreted
and day by day they gather like thu
clouds, until they form black mass
from which thunderbolt escapes.
AS Fenelon says: They are only con
versatzcns that dissipate the mind, ane
lead to no good.
There are so many beautiful topic!
that could be discussed, which would
have tendency to elevate the mind
especially of the young; for the tine
which hurries on, restless and unceas
ing, pausing not in it's course through tt
eternity should not be spent in frivolous
discourse.
Every woman has it in her power, tx
make society what she wills, therefore
she should develop her faculties and
use them to their fullest extent toward
the elevating of con versation, and let
the chimora for gossip, that no earnes
heart cares TO cherish, be dream of the
past.

ted BY the most previous agination as
anything like 4 blinking of Home Rule, {
It is idle Tor us to start forth on Our
voyage Of social reform in Great Britain
SO long as the deck Of the ship OF State
is numbered and loaded with the Irish
Question. Just look back. You chose
a great Parliament in 1880 and you install
led great Minister. No sooner was
that done than the Irish Question, like
a spectre, stalked down the floor OF The
House of Commons. and with an ice:
cold hand throttled the enthusiasm and
the energy out Of the most splendid
and the most hopeful majority that has
been returned to the House Of Commons
this century. That was in 1881. In
1880 the Government ought to have set
about the proper business OF the imper-
ial and British Government. First of all
there was the Compensation for Distur-
bance Bill. In 1881 the session was en-
tlrely taken up, first, with a Coercion
Bill, secondly, with Land Bill; 1882,
another Coercion Bill, another Land
Bill, and an Arrears Bill. In 1883 and
1884 we had certain leisure to attend
to our own affairs. In 1885 the Irish
vote, give not for imperial or British
reason, but purely for Irish reasons,
turned out the Government. In 1886,
first of all, the Tories we're turned out,
practically on the question Of coercion,
and the session was taken up by MIR.
Gladstone's Home Rule Bill. Then
came the general election, and the Lib
erals were turned out upon the Irish
Question. In 1887 the attention Of the
House of Commons was again absorbed
by the Coercion Bill and by a Land Bill.
1891 was pra otlca)ly taken up in the
longest portion of its time by a Land
purchase Bill. The roll OF 1892 is not
yet uDfolded. I'D.

The Pintch System Of Lighting Passenge,
Trains With Gas.

The Pintsch system of Lighting b,
mean of compressed gas is pronounced
by competent judges to be the bes
known means of car illumination.
It is safe under any and all circum
stances. 1t is not affected by atmo
spheric changes. Burns more steadl'.
than any other light in use. Although
very brilliant it Is soft and agreeable
1t emits no smoke, is odorless and per
fectly clean.
Il is so effective and evenly distrib
uted that travellers in any part OF tht
car can read easily and comfortably.
1t is simple in operation, absolutel,
reliable and constant quality.
Although this system has been in use
on some of the leading lines in the Eas
and in Europe for some time, the credit
of first Introducing it in the Northwest
belongs to 'tThe North W estern Line
C.. st. P, NJ. O. Ry.
The 1estibuled trains on this line
leaving Minneapolis at $50 p. M, St
Paul, 1880 p. M, daily, for Chicago an6
Milwaukee, are lighted throughout
with this gas.
In addition to the superior arrange
ment aud comfort of the sleeping cars
on the vestibuled limited, this brilliant
light adds to the appearance Of the car
and passengers have expressed them
selves as delighted with this method Of
lighting.
The Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis
& Omaha Railway Company is now con
structing q plant in Minneapolis for the
manufacture Of Pilltsch Gas in order to
supply the entire passenger equipment.
No line keeps its equipment more
completely up to the latest standard
than does 1.-THE North Western Line, 8

Improvement likely to add to the com.
tori, safety or pleasure Of Through travel.

1865. In addition to these 81 the de.
tailed report shows that there are Il
more societies on the roll, out not in

che organization OF the new Unions will
result in doing much good. He says
that by reason of these organizations
there are more societies in good stand

The number now being SO, the highest
record previous was SIS. He also be-
lieyes the membership in the state to be
not less than the largest previously re.

membership reported up to chat date;
and counting in the new Unions this
year equals that. His report covers the

there were in the treasury $35.11, and
the liabilities we're $225.OO, The re-

Strange Story of an Old Mans Noctslrr III
RambIings.

Strange Story of an Ola Mans Nocturnal
RambIings.
A Sylvania (Ga.) man, who was nos
aware Of the fact that he was addicted
TO walking in his sleep, began to miss
his clothes ON awakening in the mor,s'
ing. Four suits disappeared mystera-
ously, when he was constrained to offer
a reward of twenty-five dollars for the
detection of the thief
One night, says the Atlanta Constitu~
ton, the eldest son resolved to cay
ture the thief and secure the reward
So he kept watch secretly in his fathers
room.
Thai night he was surprised to see haz
father arise, dress himself with closed
eyes, and walk out Of the door.
About a mile from the house was
nill-pond, where all the men and Boys
Of the neiglborhood were accustomed
to go in bathing. And thither the old
man wendell his way, followed by his
devoted son. The moon was shining
bright and On reaching the pond tina
son saw him take off his clothes and
stuff them up an old hollow cypress log
as far as they would go. Then ne
plunged in, swan around several times
and then came out.
His son thought, of course, that jump
ing into the water would awaken him,
but when he went up to him he FOUND
that he was still asleep. Then il was
funny TO see him hunting for his
clothes. He had forgotten entirely
where he had put them, and SO, after .
fruitless search, he went baess to the
house, donned his robe de mutt, and
went to bed.
The next morning the old man knew
nothing about the occurre nces the night
previous, but, convinced by his son, hs
cheerfully paid the reward.
The most curious FREAK OF u1odsrn
times or else the story is the biggest
Iie~-comes from Tennessee. The Case
in question is a woman whose bones are
said to he coming out Of her body, until
she has in this manner got rid Of about
800. The wounds caused by the exfol;a
ton of the bones heal quickly and new
bones grow in place of the ones she
loses. The fact that this process has
been gong for twenty-one years, and al
yet She woman is not in a dina museum
makes this story saem very improbable:
