ZIONIST
Then Mr.. Phillips had cultivated, as
Conkhng did. the art of speaking with
distinctness and without apparent
effort Therefore he did not tire his
listeners, since he seemed to be address
sing them in no more urgent manner
than one would use in private conversa-
ton. Tie was very careful Of his vowel
sounds, although this care was not made
evident to his audience
COnkiing seemed never to strain to
carry his voice, and he spoke for four
hours at the Academy of Music in New
York without any more apparent effort
than would have teen required to chat
with friends. Therefore he did not weary
his great audience by suggestion that he
was himself weary.
To young men who asked Mr.. Conkling
what practice they should take to become
effective speakers he always made this
answer: "Traiu your voice as singers
DO. so that you can get a musical tone
but not a sing-sOng one, and to get
it without apparent effort, just as
the greatest singers execute their
most difficult passages. There is no
young man who cannot by practice Sc
cure voice which win be pleasing OF
course some are blessed with natural
gifts, but it is gift which can be ac-
quired.
Gerritt Smith had the superbest voice
ever given to an American, but even he,
when ne was making his battles for the
anti slavery cause, practised reading
aloud. Then cultivate distinctness.
Thus armed. if you have something to
say, you will become an orator; and if
you have patience, Intelligence and en-
thusiasm, and sincerity as we'll, you may
be a great orator whose rewards are as
delightful as any that man can receive.

asked the clerk whether he expected to
remain long in the government office, and
advised him to quit such employment as
soon as possible, saying that there was
no more dismal career than that of gov
eminent clerk.
The young man asked Mr.. Conkling if
he would tell him how he became a great
orator.
The senator was pleased with the cues
ton, but said that he had time to make
only one suggestion. Said he: "Prac-
tlce speaking aloud. The most important
thing for young man who wants to be-
come an orator to think about at first is
how TO enunciate with distinctness. Of
course it is more important than that for
an orator to have something to say, but
am now speaking of the manner in which
he is to say what is in his mind.
Practice speaking words which have
long vowels in them. If pou take care of
these novels, the eonsonarts viii take
care of themselves, and the secret OF dis
tinctness in public speaking is clear ut

Then Mr.. Conkling repeated rhyme to

At the Chicago convention in 1880, in

speech which is now historic.
He stood upon reporters table, The
great building was packed. TWAS thought
that not less than Is 900 persons We're in

has.
Many who heard that address said
afterWard that it seemed impossible that
anyone should ever win higher oratori-
cal triumph than Mr.. Conkling then
gained

the reason so many men fail to make

John always gave in full when his name

morning when | arose at sunrise, the
thermometer was far below freezing

was glad to wrap myself in
furs. At noon the thermometer was
over hundred in the shade, and we were
all so hot as to wish with Sidney Smith
that we could take OH our flesh and sit in
our bones. John was delighted when,
as there seemed no immediate prospect of
further hostilities in Afghanistan, de-
parted therefrom to pay a visit to King
Thebaw Of Burmah, who has since been
disestablished.

When in his capital of Mandalay there

ABOUT STRAWBERRIES.
Suggestive Ideas Concerning Varieties
That may be OF Interest.

No plant causes us more annoy
ance than the strawberry. l be-
lieye that most Of the failures are
not intentional frauds. There are
points about novelties that attract
attention and get a measure of IA
vor. The originator naturally is
pleased with his own children, but
most Of the annually announced
new sorts are worthless, and make
us deal Of trouble. OF the whole
lot sent out for the past twenty-five
years not more than twenty-five
were really improved stock. Then
OF these there are but ten or twelve
that are not beaten out of the field
by further progress.
1t is curious how the old Cum
berland holds on, and does so we'll
everywhere that it is likely to hold
on. Sharpless is another type, and
it, too, manages to outlive any num-
berof improvementson itself. Blu
bach is a third style Of berry, and
is not easily beaten; while Haver-
land makes fourth type.
The Cumberland is absolutely
perfect in shape, a sort Of beehive
OF fattened cone; is bisexual, will
stand neglect, does not run out in
a single year or two, and makes the
very best family berry 1 know Of
Sharpless is large, does not ripen
evenly, does poorly on sandy or
light soils, but nobly on clay. Blu
bach is the round sort hattened at
the end, pistillate in flower, splen-
did cropper, and of good color; a
sound, almost solid berry, of excel
lent quality. 1t does we'll almost
everywhere, and so ranks next to
the Cumberland as a great family
berry.
The Haverland is long, finger
shaped berry, an enormous cropper
and does best on rather light soils
It has great punches Of berries thai
must be mulched to keep them out
of the dirt It will not endure Ions
protracted rains, for they make i
soft and fiavorless. Sharpless and
Haverland, therefore, are two types
that must como in after Cumber
land and Bubach.
There are two more prominen
types over the Wilson Crescen
and Manchester, solid, rich colors
but too sour for the latest demands
ndyet has the best shipping quail
titles. The Shuckless is a curious
sort, that can be picked up withou
the stem and calyx, but is not like
ly to develop anything worth tn,
while.
In all the above classes we con
stantly have new berries sent out
The new Timbrell comes under tn
Cumberland head, and, if report
are true, will be better than it
predecessor. It is larger than tina
large sort, and rather better in fla
vor and positive in color. Middle
field is another superb berry Of thi
group, royal fine affair, brighte
red than Cumberland. Princess

Of the Sharpless style, the bes
are Edgar Queen, Williams, an

there is nothing better than GILES
