A clever woman of the world says,
and her words arc worth weighing, that
a man to be agreeable In general So
ciety at a dinner party. at n reception,
at any of those places and times when
tete-a-tetcs are either impossible or in
bad taste, must be able to talk 10 more
than one person and upon impcrsonal
topics. lie must know something about
a great many subjects, and yet not
have the air Of instructing his hearers.
Nothing is more irritating than the OK
cathedra style, when the speaker
seems to mount 4 rostrum and hold up
his hand for silence before each utter
nnce. a rocls upon which n great many

They talk, and talk well, not too
lcarnedly and not too satirically. but
they talk upon subjects which have no

with begging letters from almos. every

Seals for the Worlds Fair.


Under the direction OF Henry Elliott,
the only artist who has ever drawn and
painted the seal and walrus in their ma
tive haunts, an interesting exhibit for
tie worlds fair is being prepared by
the Smithsonian institution. This eX-
hibit consists Of models in papier mache
representing the fur seal and walrus
fisheries on the Alaskan coast. The
animals TO be represented, as well as
the men who catch them, are being
modelled in clay. One of the models
shows a seal drive" This model in
cludes hundreds of mimic seals which
Aleuts are driving along to the killing
Fsrounds by waving cloths and shouting.
Another illustrates a ''rookery" on
which the full grown seals, believing
and pugnacious, have ''haulcd up" out
of the surf upon the islands to breed.
Another model will show a hauling
ground of bachelor seals. The killing
of seals will also be shown, n group of
Alcuts being represented in the act Of
smashing their heads with clubs.
There will also I've represented n num-
Der Of hair seals, which are not useful
for their fur, but merely for food supply
to the natives of that region. The wal
ruses, now rapidly becoming extinct,
are also 70 be reproduced in material
that will give them n remarkably life
like appearance. Hundreds of models
In clay arc made Of these animals, in
order to represent the different species
and sizes Of each. They are to be cast
in papier nachc and painted.

An Enoch Arden with an

Prehistoric Relics.

The Archaeological association, which
is under the auspices of the University
of Pennsylvania, is about to set on foot
original explorations in parts Of the
United States which have not been
carefully examined in respect Of their
prehistoric relics. Several men. who
are experts in this kind Of scientific
work, will he placed in the field. Dur
ing the umncr Of 1901 the association
has thoroughly explored a number of
ancient village sites in the valley of the
Delaware, and the work has thrown
new light on the customs and condition
of the prehistoric Indians. On an island
in the Delaware IN i:nplcr1cnt-makcr's
workshop was found, and in another
place were ono hundred and sixteen
finely Clipped knives, averaging about
six inches in length. The quarry of
jasper, where the Indians got their raw
material, was found, and thousands of
specimens of their workmanship were
secured.

A Frenchman has come to the front
with a novel project for making him
self famous during the worlds fair at
Chicago. lie is seeking space enough
to give an exhibition with a lion that
rides horseback. The lion is full-grown,
being four years old, and it is claimed
that he can perform wonderful feats of
craftsmanship. The performance takes
place in a ring twenty-four feet in diam
eter and inside a fence of strong bars.
When the horse starts around the ring
the lion is sitting OF a pedestal in the
center, and from that point he leaps
twelve feet onto the horses back.
While riding on the back of the horse
the lion jumps through hoops Of flame
and maintains his balance ever while
the horse is lcaping over 4 succession
Of fences. The lion is said to be so
tractablc that he would harm nobody,
but for the sake of those who might he
t:nid of his close proximity he will be
made to perform behind the bars. The
man also claims TO have Il jet black
horse with 4 pure white name and
tail. The name almost touches the
ground and the tail will lie for a couple
of feet on the ground /. not tied up.

Carlyle WAS always quoting Schillcr's
lines from 'Wallcn>tcin,' that against
stupidity the very gods fight in vain,'

certainly not stupid. aad very far from
dull. Needless to say that it was the
same with browning. And Of the
