A C.p.iou. Critic.

''On a recent trip to Philadelphia remarked Dr. Frank Chllds II occu- pied a seat with an elderly female of an argumentative turn of mind. who. recognizing my calling from my at tire. gradually led me into a discus sion upon religious matters.
 The old lady was an interesting taIker. and the conversation ran smoothly until we hatly disagreed upon a certain point She took one view of it and I took second that was the direct reverse.
 Then we resorted to scripturat quotations to convince each otbp., and for several minutes they flew thick and fast
 Suddenly recalled one that was convinced would settle the matter.

 What a fearful scrawl P exclaimed Ruth, examining an envelope addressed to her in struggling hand.

 She had not been there ten minutes, when Ruth with wild light in her eyes appeared. She held the letter with one hand, and the other pressed to her beating heart. Child" said Vida, what is the matter with you?'
 Close the doorw gasped Ruth. 'I have a secret to tell you. 1 must confide in some body or must die. But only ourselves must know itv'
 Vida closed the door. and as an additional precaution locked it. Then turning to Ruth, she asked again:
 What is the matter with you?" 'Basil-my own Basil, Is alive-and true to me !' said Ruth. in tones that went like daggers to the heart of the listener. Impossible .' said Vida. ''He was mur dered."

 The Flyer was gipsy lad of about six teen, famous for his feetness of foot, and on that account was used as a messenger from one tribe to another. Having secured him by calling out as he passed Jim the snowman gave him some money and mes- sage.

MAKING A SPEECH.

It UsuaiIy Involves a Very Serious Physi-
 cal strain.
 It may look like very easy thing for member, having his speech written, to deliver it during the course of an hour in the House, but it is not such an easy thing as it looks. The average speaker gets deal of atheletic exercise during the course of an hours speech. There are some members in the house who can a hand except to turn the pages, aud all most without changing petition; and there are other members who can talk all day without getting tired: but the average speaker perspires as if he were saving wood. An offhand speech of 10 minutes does not count, but the man who throws his arms in the air as if whirlng Indian clubs. hammers his desk like blacksmith, and dances all around the place for an hour ors so, is taking very violent exercise. Experience has taught some of them that it is not safe to make such speech without taking extra pre- caut oas against cooling off too quickly afterward
 know several members who take ex- traordinary precautions. They do not speak often. They know for weeks be- fore hand that they are to speak, and after all preparations are made for the speech itself, and the day comes for the effort, they have a servant bring com plete change of linen and underwear and a heavy oyercoat to the Capitol, and wait with these things at hand until the speech is ended Then the speaker with the precipitation pouring of him. rushes to the cloak room, where the servant stands with the coat ready, and throws it over his shoulders as soon as he comes within reach. Next the member, with the col lar of his overcoat turned up, tucks his dry underclothing under his arm and makes for the bath rooms. There he en- ters the waiting room, where the tenn perature is high and there can be nc draught, being under ground, and waits to cool off a little preparatory to a bath. There is no more work for him in the House that day. When he has got his bath he makes for his lodgings as fast as he can, and stays there until thoroughly rested. .-I Philadelphia Telegram.

WORSE THAN MARRIAGE

A bachelor, old and cranky, Was sitting alone in his room; His toes with the gout were aching. And his face was o'erspread with gloom No medical aid was lacking: The servants answered his ring. Respectfully heard his orders. And supplied him with everything. But still there was something wanting, Something he couldn't command: The kindly words of compassion, The touch of gentle hand. And he said as his brow grew darker And he rang for the hireling nurse: "Well, marriage may be failure, But this is blamed sight worse"

ONE VIEW OF SOCIETY.

It Is Rather . Pessimistic Ons, Duo
 There's Truth In It.
 The falling away from the ancient and honored traditions of hospitality Is one of the most portentious signs 0f the hollowness and insincerity Of our modern life. It would seem as though in our social relations to one another we arc daily sinking deeper sad deeper into the slough of selnshnees and hypocrisy. Wofully have ws fallen away from grace since Brlllat- Savarin told us that when we received friend under our roof-tree we mado ourselves. for the time he was our guest responsible not only for his physical we'll. being. but also for his happiness
 Who cares nowadays whethee guest is enjoying himself or notp aaks Vanity Fair. Where Is the hosteoa who will take the trouble to iusuro him 3 pleasant evening" To-day: whom we invite any one to our houeA it is with the distinct Idea of gsttins something out Of him; case simply of What will you give me for what 1 am giving youP" He may be tho most wearisome of boreA and we may detest the sight of him; but we ask him to dinner and give him our begt because he is friend of young Lord Noddlekins-who would just suit poor Alice-and whom we intend our bcse shall introduce to us in due course
 Miss de Smythe's airs and preeon. sions are intOlerable. and her man. ners are dreadful; still we invite her. because she is ono of the best dressod women in London. Mra Dasher. that rather rapid little widow 10 n0s exactly desirable guest but thea she knows the incest man in town and is SO good natured about introducing. And so on down the list. Tho oa1e and barter of what small remnant of social virtue is left to us in an igno- ble traffic; but alas. it is fast Oocom- ing fsvorlte one.
 We are familiar with the advertise ments which read somewhat as fol. lows: "A lady of rank and high social position will arrange with ladies wishing for introductions to good society" And guests are just as bad as their hosta They consider an invitation and devote as much thought to it as though 1t were some import ant commercial enterprise; and II q last they accept 1t ten to one t is because they hope to entrap some fel- low guest who would prove dcsirar ble addition to their nOn- visiting list
 Tho fact is. the whole ideal of hoe pitality has been cheapened and low. cred. and it's conduct reduced to . mean system of warfare. in which strategy and effrontery are the moet efficacious weapons. Women ara I am bound to acknowledge. chiefly to blame for this as they are moro or less indirectly for all the social sins of the world; and to them must be at- tributed the blight of selfshness and calculation that has fallen about uG But men arc not quite blameless; for not to speak of their pleaslng little habits Of making love to their hosts' wives. they will not go anywhere un- less they are sure beforehand that they will be we'll fed.
