The question arises whether 1t is better
to presume that the person you are address
ing knows everything or to take it for
granted at the outset that he knows moth
lug. In either course embarrassing results
may follow. Authorities differ on this
point, but certain justly popular young
lady who has pondered on the matter
some says the wisest way is to appear to
think the other one knows Just little
more than you can ever hope to learn. even
though you know the opposite to be the
case.
In this way, she maintains, you can man
age adroitly to give him stacks Of informa-
tion and yet leave him with the pleasant
feeling that he has been instructing you.
Never Seem to thinkskhat you know any
thing worth mentionik.p y is her rule, but
she makes one strong exception. I'm the
case of direct questioning always answer
something" Whether you know anything
about the subject in hand or not, make
brave guess at it and reply as though you
did. Tho querist wants positive answer,
and in eight cases out of ten yours will
chance to be correct, while in the other two
he will forget your words before he thinks
to verify your statement. koharm is done,
so she declares, and it is better all around
than a stupid II don't know" =
However such rule may work to the
confusion of ordinary maidens, it seems to
flt her case precisely, for she has the repu-
tation OF being the most unassuming as
well as the best informed young woman in
her set.-Chicago News-Record.

A middle aged man who has made enough
money to take his wife TO France dozen
times and not even miss the change, but
who has never known word of French
until the last few months, was calling at

school some years ago happened to be sit
ting near him, and the attention of both
was attracted by handsome dog outside

1t is an ideal profession for the "decayed

NEWS, EEOM PEARY.
Tho Success of the Expedition Consid-
cred PrOhIemnt ntIcnl.

ST JOHNS, N f., Aug. 29.-Further dis
couraging news concerning the expedition
comes from LTbrador. According TO the
last report Peary was at Davis inlet on
Aug 2, and on the 9Th had reached Main.
There he tried to purchase dogs again, but
failed. He offered forty cents for dogs, but
as they are worth 81 or IS each tlae Esqui-
maux would not sell, so Peary left for
Okkak, the next Moravian settlement. As
he would not pay greater prices there
either he could not get dogs. Then he
announced his intention of going to He
bron, Ramah and other settlements fur
ther north, making every effort to secure
dogs at those places, and II unsuccessful
would depend ON getting dogs at Disco,
Greenland, as last resort.
Dogs are now doubly necessary to Peary
rs the burros all perished before Main was
reached, and consequently it is impossible
for the expedition TO accomplish anything
without fur greater number of dogs than
at first was considered necessary. 1t is
believed here that Peary's actions are
suicidal. and that il he was determined to
wreck tho whole expedition he could not
adopt better means, The steamer has
been delayed a month behind her regular
time, rendering it problematical if she
reaches her destination at all.
