CHRISTMAS IN ITALY.
Sig. Ccsarc Pona, vicc-consul Of
Italy, is an extremely handsome gen.

some difficulty in managing our harsh

The Value of a Good Address.

Young men should study to talk well
to state their propositions with a clear
ness and force that will make their hear
ers feel that the speaker has reached the
gist of the matter, and that his opinion is
of some weight. You will notice a man
coming into the Office. There is some
thing in his very appearance and the
way he carries himself that commands
respect and attention. A canvasser for
a book came into my Office only yester-
day who was a splendid illustration of
it. 1 had no intention of buying his cy-
clopedia. But he was well dressed and
intelligent. He seemed to understand
my wants, and in five minutes we were
talking busily together. He sold me Sl20
worth of books.
l think that a good personal address is
something too little cultivated. L would
rather have it than a REPRESENTATIVES
view in New York Press.

..Chinese" Gordon.s Ideas of DUTY,

The hero of Khartoum, like the hero
of Schiller's "Wallenstein, thought that
all soldiers should be noble minded, and
that in their own hearts and not in other
mems opinions they should find their
true honor. He could not understand
the bestowal or acceptance of a reward
for not deserving q comrade in danger.
But then he would not have what he
considered duty" rewarded in any way
beyond the usual methods of pay and
promotion, and he illustrates his opinion
by a characteristic anecdote: II like that
old Iron Duke, with his fearful temper.
He told a friend of my father, who was
bewailing his long and meritorious serv-
ice. that he ought to be glad the coun-
try had kept him so long" This, how
ever, seems inconsistent with Gordon's
institution Of a special decoration to re-
ward exceptional service and merit at
Khartoum.-Broad Arrow.

One Of Them Masters - Unruiy Lion with

Few Of those who saw Miss Johnstons

she appeared smiling in the arena she
had gone through an experience which
che will never forget. At the perform

They immediately began 10 fight. For

Though we all welcome q season of
rest, yet If we were never to have any
thing in the way of regular duties TO
perform what a purposeless, worrying
existence ours would become! The
cricket disporting itself gayly through
the summer hours thinks that no life
can be as pleasant or as sweet as its
happy go lt.,ky improvident hours Of
idleness spent under blue skies and IN
the full glare Of the glorious sunlight,
yet when winter comes and the lack Of
Thought for the morrow has proved dis
astrous, then il wishes that there had
been less play and more serious employ
ment that would have brought about
more worthy results.
Outside Of the worldly benefit that &C
crues from conscientious work. there are
other advantages that few realize unless
they have experienced them for them
selves. The blues speed away before its
helpful influence, time never drags, the
edge Of sorrow Is made less keen. and a
, healthier mind and body stand forth as
examples Of the benefit to be derived
from having something to do beyond
idle gossiping, desultory fancy work or
a round Of dressing and dancing that
may seem blissful in contemplation, but
is in reality not one-half as satisfying as
the discharge of regular duties that
make one feel that one has accomplished
something worth talking about--Phila-
