meeting.
Ihe subject of lecture will he :Tbe
IhitosoIhy or Spe CHI as Illustrated By the
English aud the French Voice, ~ and will
endeavor to demonstrate that as a man is
born to speak-not any one particular Ian
guage. but any Observation-Disclosures 1chat
French speech really is and ho,c
to learn TO speak an French is very
largely question of principles Of
systematic drill of method and of training.
and does not depend solely on innate apti-
tude for languages or on the youth age
of the learner.
In the latter case. one language having
already been mastered. the di6irutty TO be
ooereome is principally a mechanical one.
Again thanking you. gent emen. for the

why Pearl Buttons Are Expensive.

One reason why the pearl shells have
gone up is the demand for big pearl but.
tons. Many Of them are seen on ladies
dresses now. They are nearly half az
big as a saucer, and being so big it takei
plenty of shells to make them.
A lot Of pearl mill people put up the
big button scheme year or two ago.
They had been running at loss, so they
closed down their mills for some time,
There soon arose clamor for pearl but
tons, and after awhile some of the mills
started again, but they gave their atten.
ton mainlyto turning out big buttons
and obtained assistance from several
fashion magazines. The result was that
a style was soon in vogue, and this they
have assiduously catered to ever since.
Shutting off the production of pearls,
or at least greatly abridging it. the prod
uct will probably 60 higher and be con.
sidered quite'the thing for jewelry and
ornaments of various kihds.-San Fran.

Working q Meteoric Mass.

The question of diamonds falling
from the skies" was investigated at the
Academy of Sciences by M. Berthelot
under very peculiar circumstances. NJ
Daubree, the geologist, read letter re-
ceived from Mr.. Nordenskjold, and in
which the illustrious Swede described
experiments tried on meteoric iron,
which was found to contain certain
quantity Of diamonds, and which could
not be worked into any tool by the best
Stockholm blacksmith.
This circumstance reminded the learn
ed perpetual secretary of story narrat-
cd by Avicenna about Mahmoud the
Gasnead, the Mussulman conqueror OF
India. A large lump Of iron having
fallen from the heavens it was decided
TO present to the prince q sword made
out Of it. According to the eastern
nations the arm should have been pos
Bessed Of secret virtue. Unfortunately,
1t was impossible to work it, very likely
because some diamonds were included
In the meteoric mass.-European Herald.

Rather a Ghastly Joke.

At Brownsville, Neb., few years ago
King Collins, a tea man, had played a
joke on the landlord of the leading hotel,
and he vowed to get even with Mr.. K.
G. at any cost. One Saturday King
wired the landlord: "Save me room.
will be there over Sunday" King drove
in about 8 o'clock p. m, cold, tired and
hungry. The landlord told him every
bed in the house had two in it except
one bed, and 1t had one occupant. He
would have to sleep with that man or
"hold chair down" King objected at
first, but at last "turned in." His bed
fellow was laying over behind, with his
face to the wall. The landlord instruct
ed King to turn the lamp down, but not
to extinguish it. Before great while q
young man and woman came into the
room and took seats near the door.
Pretty soon they began to spark in true
Nebraska style.
King feigned sleep, but was watching
them with his weather eye. 1t soon be-
came 80 rich that he wanted his bedfel-
low to enjoy the sport also, and he be-
gan nudging him with his elbow, but
the man failed to respond. Quietly King
began an investigation and found that
the man was actually dead. With one
yell and bound he landed in the middle
of the floor. The man and woman stop
ped counting at once, and all three rolled
down stairs together. King rushed into
the Office and grabbed the poker and
was about to pulverize the landlord, but
his better judgement prevailed and nc
blood was shed. A physician was called,
and it took several hours to resuscitate
the woman, who really thought the
corpse had come to life. Her "feller"
vowed he would never sit up at another
wake.-Cor st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

tiously approached. They disappeared
like magic when they saw me-all but
one, a chimpanzee. When got close to
1t, l found that it took no notice of me, but
stood as if transfixed, with widely opened
eyes and dilated pupils, gazing at the
mirror. There was a slight tremulous
motion in the limbs and spasmodic
twitching Of the ears. / could hardly
believe it. The animal was hypnotized.
It was making cultural sound like
'achru.' When subsequently listened
to the gram found that q similar
sound was frequently recorded thereon
amid what was then to me an unintel-
ligible tumble of monkey chatter.
II put the monkey In bamboo cage,
and on examining him about an hour
afterward found him still under the hyp-
motto influence. l revived him with a
good, strong sniff Of ammonia and held
lighted taper before his eyes. He was
quite tractable and said 'achru,' and a
few more tests satisfied me that this
word embodied the idea of heat, light,
warmth and brightness. Other words
followed, and it was wonderful to take
note of his awakening intelligence
