But to be a universally agreeable man

A man to be agreeable in general society,

many subjects, and yet not have the air
of ~instructing his hearers, Nothing is
much more irritating than the ex-cathe-

was the matter with the agreeable man

much that | resolutely forgot all the val

Another rock upon which | have seen
a great many men meet shipwreck is
unadaptability; they talk and talk well,
not too learnedly and not too satirically,
but they talk upon subjects which have
no interest for their audience. A gen

But an agreeable man must not make
self his perpetual topic, especially in so
ciety or with mere acquaintance. There
are, to be sure. occasions and compa-
mics when he can do nothing better than
talk of himself, but he must have that
divine gift of tact to know when those
occasions present themselves. Between

A recent dispatch from London says;
For years past the work people of Lam
cashire have complained bitterly of ex-
cessive steaming in the weaving sheds,
and efforts have been repeatedly but
vainly made to put a stop to the practice,
which is ruinous to the health of the
workers. The employers declared that
trade could not be carried on profitably
without it. Encouraged by promises Of
support from several large trade unions,
the weaver have now resolved to abol-
ish or minimize the evil without delay,
at se cost, if necessary, of a general
strike in the trade. Three thousand
v met the other night in the
Blackburn exchange under the Presi-
dency of John Maudesley, a member of
the royal commission on labor, and
passed resolutions calling for the total
abolition of steaming. The speakers told
narrowing tales of the horrors of the sys-
tenn, and aproposition e~nunciated by the

clined were afforded ample opportunity to
worship. while those Of a gayer turn OF
mind had an extensive list from which to
select their amusements for the day. The
E~piscopalians held their regular Thanks
giving services in the morning and kept
their church open all dav to receive offer
ings Tor the poor. Their morning collcc-
ton was devoted to the same charitable
purpose. Several other denominations,
among them the Methodists, Joined to-.
gether and returned thanks in the Bsp-

A long and interesting series of sport
ing events was on the programme mapped
out for the day. The gun cldb held a
sweepstakes shoot for which there was
seven entries. Each contestant shot at
ten live buds at thirty yards rise. The
score was as follows: VIM. Baker 10, j.
Davis 9, Geo. Haskins s, d. G. Bacon 7,
L. G. Hanks I, Geo. Roman I. and J..
Love 8.
The rifle shots were also given a chance
to show their skill. For the sun Of IS
cents they had the privilege Of shooting
at the head of a turkey which was stick
ing out of an iron box fifty yards from
the scratch. Those who succeeded in
hitting the mark took the turkey as a
reward for doing 80. The manager OF the
affair los. money rapidly aud soon gave
