After Dinner speaking.


An after dinner speech should never
be wholly facetious, unless the speaker
is very facetious indeed and cuts his
speech short. 1t should not be frivolous.
even when the speaker is full of frivolity.
1t must not under any circumstances be
silly, though there be people who laugh
at Stiffness. 1t must not be too long
winded, or highly exciting, or oyerheayy,
or ultra argumentative, or entirely sta
tistical, or in the least rancorous. An
after dinner speech should be appropriate
to the occasion and delivered on time.
1t may contain some essential thoughts,
some strokes Of humor, some scraps Of
knowledge, some bits of fancy, some
sound reasons, some good whims, some
green dressing and little fat.
Every ablebodied man of New York is
apt to be an after dinner speaker sore
time in his life. 1t is possible that as
many as 5000 after dinner speeches have
been made here during one winter sea-
son. One man has record of 10 Of them
for single week, three of them for one
evening.
We have heard some tiptop after din
ner speeches, a few. We have heard
others that were wearisome, inappropri-
ate, exasperating, enfeebling or foolish.
We have heard several which were rant
or drivel.
A good many men have won renoWn
by making clever after dinner speeches.

From our Washington correspond
emit: Though fully one-half OF the APP
plcants for places in the departments
arc women, only one person of the
weaker sex is appointed for every
seven men. There is a prejudice
against female clerks on several ac-
counts. Nevertheless, many of the
official have discovered that they can
often get a women for 5000 year
who is more capable than ST. 200
man. Before the war the employ
ment of women as clerks by the gov
eminent was almost unknown, though
they sometimes got copying to do at
home. The first woman regularly
employed was put on the rolls of the
navy department thirty-tiye years ago.
She was a young widow. 1t was a
grave question what should be done
with her, and it was thought best to
isolate her, as If she were contagious.
An attic room was given her, and she
received and returned her copying by
a messenger. To-day there are 1000
women in the treasury department
alone. They and others in different
departments are efficient as account
ants, correspondents, inguists, drafts
men, typesetters, etc.

The so-called capitol bill that has
passed the legislature is all right.
Long before the ten years named in
the bill have elapsed new capitol
building will be an absolute necessity
and it is the part of wisdom to begin
planning now for the coming emery
ency. It is right too that the new
structure should be a good one; one
that will not only meet all the de-
mands of the states rapidly increas-
ing business, but one that will also
be a source of pride to all the people
of the state.

Mediums In Japan.

Spirit rapping vocation for women In
Japan requires little apparatus. Rap
ping is perhaps not the correct word, for
there is really no trapping at all-the
clients are simply put in communication
with any spirit with whom they desire to
speak. It is not necessary that the spirit
should be that of a dead person, but the
medium always inquiries whether the
spirit whose presence is desired is living
or dead.
The mediums always carry about with
them mysterious wooden box, about
foot or less square. Like the medicine
bag Of the Indian medicine man, its con-
tents are q secret to members of the
same profession. These women usually
have bow Of soft wood strung with
single string, and this they twang on
the edge of the box like caricature of
violin playing.
If the spirit required is that of a dead
person, 8 leaf plucked from graveyard
is used to splash some water out of a
small cup that stands in front of the
medium IF the person is living, SIM
liar ceremony is performed with piece
OF stick instead of leaf. Then follows
an incarnation, and the spirit proceeds
to speak through the medium. The
medium charges sometimes as high as 10
or 20 cents.-San Francisco Call.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies, Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition Of the mucous lin

this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
Illumination can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing viii be destroyed forever; nine
cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed

seems to'be almost without limit in

From the seed valuable oil is ex-
pressed, while the husks form an ar

cakes. From the lint which clings to
the seed after it has passed through
the "gin" felt is made, while the oil
extracted from the seed is applied to
quite large number of purposes.
But, according to the British consul,
Mr.. Portal of Zanzibar, cotton seed is
also capable of yielding sugar. A

that the product obtained is of very
superior grade, being fifteen times

According to A. G Belyea, in his
capital letter to the Grant County
Herald, bill has been introduced
and will doubtlessly pass redistricting
the state judicially. Briefly summar-
lied, the bill lops off two districts and
three judges. The sixteenth district
will comprise the counties of Big
Stone, Grant, Stevens, Traverse, Will
kin, Pope and Clay, the two latter
counties being added. The commit
tee first proposed to unite us with the
Red River Valley counties away up
to the Canadian frontier, giving this
large district two judges. Senator
Canestorp objected SO vigorously that
two districts were made out of the
same territory with one judge for
each.
