TRY TO Sc A CLEVER TALKER.
A Woman's Hint to Women on the Art of
Conysrsing.

A Woman's Hint to Women on the Art of
Converting.
There are a few women who are
born with the gift Of knowing how not
to talk. but there are a good many
who cultivate that knowledge, and
with good reason. for the woman who
is able to make other people interest
ing conyersatiOnallY has a distinct So
cial status as a brilliant talker. Men
are sure to like her, and the Mrs. Leo
Hunters of modern society like to feel
that they have some one at hand who
can make their lions roar should they
prove undesirably reserved. If you,
too, long to be a social power and
would win ~laurels as d bright CONVEX
~satiOnalist, first impress your mind with
the idea that it is not flow of words
that you need, but ability to direct con-
versation. You must pratice the art
of starting a thought, keeping
the talk general or making the guest
OF honor the apparent leader: you must
draw out the timid. avoid dangerous
channels and make every man and
woman about you appear at his or her
best. while your own efforts are con-
fined to an occasional word thrown in
to fill a gap or change the current of
the talk. Nhen You are trying to
make a company a conversational sue
cess always avoid rafting liveliness on
your own part. Don't imagine that to
be a clever WOman o must be a wit.
If you are naturally witty it is all well
enough and it viii crop out occasional,
ly, but if your wit is forced it degener-
atnS rtn 1na,.a n foot tiaD anl 81 4fanta-
ton is fatal.
If you are a busy woman and can not
find time to study all the subjects that
come up you must at least read enough
to get a little of the technical jargon
of everything, just enough to know
how to ask an intelligent question and
draw out what somebody else knows
about it. Your main object should
be to make yourself interest
ing without being obstrusive;
to keep yourself in the back
ground while you manage the general
conversation. 1t is "a wonderfully in
teresting accomplishment. You learn
to note the slightest change in facial
expression. The culver of an eyelid or
the movement of a lip tells you a story.
You see pleasure, anger, interest, dis
like, where another detects no thought.
Your own mind acts more quickly as
you appreciate the unspoken thoughts
of others. 1t takes years to bring it to
perfection, and there is always some
thing to be learned, while you have
the pleasure of feeling that your ac-
quirement is not wholly selfish, for it
gives you the power to understand the
reserved and put the shy ones at ease.
Every woman should do her best to
become what we call a clever talker,
whether she aims to be a social queen
Or not. 1t is eminently q woman's ae-
complishment. for there is not a man
in the world unselfish enough to prac-
tice it successfully. - Philadelphia
Times.

FOOD KEPT FOR AGES.

Eaten at Queer Feast Given by a Brus-
 sells Antiquarian. ' ''I have eaten apples that ripened more than one thousand eight hundred years ago, bread made from wheat grown before the children of Israel passed through the Red sea, spread it with butter that was made when Eliz- abeth was queen of England, and washed down the repast with wine that was old when Columbus was playing barefoot with the boys of Genoa," said a gentleman the other day to a reporter for the New York Advertiser.
 The remarkable ''spread'' was given by an antiquary named Gorbel, in the city of Brussels, in 1871. The apples were from a jar taken from the ruins of Pompeii, that buried city to whose peo- pie we owe our knowledge of canning fruit
 The wheat was taken from a chamber in one of the smaller pyramids, the but ter from a stone shelf in an old well in Scotland, where it had lain in an earth enware crock, in icy water, and the wine came from an old vault in the city of Corinth.
 There were six guests at the table, and each had mOuthful of the bread and teaspoonful of the wine, but was permitted to help himself literally to the butter, there being several pounds of it.
 The apple jar held about two-thirds of gallon, and the fruit was as sweet and the flavor as fine as though put up yesterday

Accounted for fn a Most Remarkable
 Manner.
 Do you know why the sea ebbs and flows? 'Tis thus, says the New York Herald: The army of drowned twice daily gather their forces at the bottom of the deep and march toward the four points of the compass to lay their weary bones on earth and escape from their watery tomb. You can hear their tramp ing-they call it sea moaning-and see the waves being pushed on before them in great water hills, which dash against each other in their furious flight from the escaping host; and when they break and hurl clouds of snow-white spray high in air it is caused by the flashing from the swinging, bony arms of the army drowned. And did you ever listen to the weird noise as these mountains of water leap up on each other?
 That is the cry of the victims of the sea.
 On and on the waves are driven, fur ther and further they encroach on the land, and the feet of the mighty body can be heard scraping for foothold on the smooth, shifting pebbles Only an other incoming wave and escape is theirs but it is just too late; the reacted un- dertow sets in and you hear their bony feet slip from under them and back they are carried, the sea holding them tight ly in its arms, exhausted captives.
 Then look when the tide has run far out and see the prints of their feet and you will know why the sea ebbs and flows.

The Beverage Flows from a Spring Iu
 the Sierra Madre Mountains.
 ''Ever get drunk on water?" asked traveller, according to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. You never did? Well, there's where I have the advan- tage of you. The drunkest drunk I ever experienced was the result of drinking water. I was skylarking around down among the Sierra Madre mountains, looking for @ long-Iost Spanish mine and making an all-around fool of myself for the behoof of half dozen Mexican mozos, when I discov- cred little spring bubbling out of the side of a mountain. The rivulet was no thicker than your little finger, but was icy cold. I started to fill my cup, but one of the MeXicans cautioned me not to drink it. He said it was devil water and would make my head swim and cause my legs to grow weak. ques- toned him closely and learned that the effects produced by the water were very similar to those resulting from the ab- sOrptiOn of too much bourbon. He said that the Indians drank it for kidney troubles. l thought that if it did no worse than make drunk I would tackle it, and I did. It tasted like a very poor quality of gin diluted with soap-suds, but was so cold, that, heated as I was, l could not let it alone. I suppose that l must have drunk nearly pint of the stuff during the hour we fingered in the vicinity. I soon began to feel the effects of it. First I required one mozo to hold me on my burro, then two found it difficult job. We went into camp, and pledge you my word that for two days and nights I was the continent g

A Bird Sounds the Alarm and Causes q
 Capture.
 We had moved into a newlv-built house which had all the modern i'm provements, the electric bell being one of them, says a writer in the Chicago News.
 At the time I am about to relate it was a cold winters night Mr. and Mrs. J. were travelling in Europe. and the servants were all gathered about the kitchen fire. Polly was also near the fire, but in the dining-room, which was upstairs.
 She used to see her mistress ring the bell for the servants to enter, and, like a clever bird, studied on this for a long while.
 On this night Polly was alone, when suddenly the door opened and two men entered. The room being dark they could not see the bird. and began searching for valuables, for they were burglars
 Polly now proved her worth. She put out her claw and pressed the button of the electric bell.
 It brought the servants to the dining room, where, after a short struggle. they secured the burglars, who were about to make way with much of the silver in the dining-room.

FOR HUNTING IN THE WEST.
Sixty Thousand Acres to Be Purchased
 for That Purpose.

Sixty Thousand Acres to Be Purchased
 for That Purpose.
 A gigantic hunting scheme which sets all historical precedents in the shade is on foot.
 Interested in it are the great landed proprietors and varied men of Europe and the United States. It is no less project than to purchase sixty thousand acres of land in this country and fence it in as a huge hunting ground.
 Some time ago party of English no blemen and military men, in which were Lord Lonsdale and other we'll known noble sports,' started out west on what was thought to be a pleasure trip. It had wider intention, how ever, for this is the scouting party which has carefully surveyed land in Texas, Arizona, Utah and other states for proper site for their happy hunt ing grounds"
 They have at last decided on buying up from the settlers and proprietors in that district sixty thousand acres at the junction of Utah, Arizona and Nevada, taking in portions of each state and part of the Snake range of mountains. This is well known to be the best hunt ing region in the country. A company will be organized with a capital stock of twenty-five million dollars; to obtain and to hold the land membership in this company or club will cost the small figure of S25,OOO. The whole district will be fenced, and the noble scions of Europe, with the Vanderbilts, Astors and varied aristocracy of our free land will hunt at leisure, as the barons of old did on the coniscated lands of the Y1oOrer DeOn1e
