THE ART OF CONVERSATION.

Conversation Is a thing which
docs not receive the amount OF cult1-
8vation it deserves. 1t is in reality
one of the fine arts, and susceptible
*of almost unlimited Improvement.
Yet comparatively few give it much
attention. Surely this is a great
mistake Converse ton is an &C
accomplishment containing within itself
manifold powers of usefulness as well
as enjoyment. 1t avails as nothing
{ else can for the calling out of ones
4 feelings, the development of ones
thoughts, the imparta tiOn OF pre-
cision to ones ideas, and the impress
ing upon the memory what one has
read. The more we talk about
things, the more we become interest
4 ed in them, the more we interest
others in their behalf. He who has
learned how to handle his tongue
with skill by the freside or in the
social circle, is able to impart much
pleasure at little cost, and sometimes
will do great good almost unawares.
Conversation has been called the
art of talking agreeably about
triaes, inasmuch as in general society
serious discussion on matters in
regard to which opinions clash is
considered out of place. There is
truth in this, and yet surely none
but the empty-headed would be per-
iectly satisfied to spend an evening
on nothing but trifes. Happy they
who have the tact to make of trif1es
an easy introduction to more
weighty things that shall tend to
the improvement of both head and
heart! A good conversationalist is
to be heartily congra tulated, and so
is the company that is favored with
his presence That so few are fitted
to receive this title, is partly the
fault of those who are charged with
the education of the young. Let
parents and teachers look to it

LEVEL-READED MONKEY.

DIR. Guthrie tells the following
amusing anecdote of monkey:
Jack, as he was called, seeing his
master and some companions drink
ing, with some imitati powers for
which his species is remarkable, find
ing half glass of whisky left, took
it up and drank it off. 1t flew, Of
course, to his head. Amid their loud
roars of laughter he began to skip,
hop and dance. Jack was drunk.
Next day when they went, with the
intention of repeating the fun, to
take the poor monkey from his box,
he was not to be seen. Looking in
side, there he lay, crouching in a
corner. Come out J. said his
master. Afraid to disobey, he came
walking on three legs, the fore paw,
that was laid on his forehead, say
ing, as plainly as possible, that he
had a headache. Having left him
some days to get well, and resume
his gaietv, they at length carried
him off to the old scene of revel. On
entering, he eyed the glasses with
manifest terror, skulking behind a
chair; and on his master ordering
him to drink, he was on the house
top in twinkling. They called
him down. He would not come.
His master shook his whip at him.
Jack, astride on the ridge pole, grin
ned defiance. A gun, of which he
was very much afraid, was pointed
at this disciple of temperance; he
ducked his head, and slipped over to
the back of the house, upon which,
seeing his predicament, and much
less afraid apparently of the fire
than the fire-water. the monkey
leaped at bound on the chimney
top, and getting down into a
aue, held on by his fore paws. He
would rather be singed than drunk.
He triumphed; and although his
master kept him for twelve years af-
ter that, he could never persuade the
monkey to taste another drop OF
whisky"

IF you BURN YOURSELF.

The pain from slight burns IS very
great. An excellent application is
thick paste of common baking soda
moistened with water, spread on
piece of linen cotton, and bound on
the part, writes Eliza beth Robinson
Scovil, in the Ladies Home Journal.
This can be kept wet by squeezing
water on it from a sponge or cloth
until the slnarting is smOothed.
A thick coating Of starch can be
used instead of soda, or wheat -four
if nothing better can be had, but
neither should be applied if the skin
is broken. In this case it is better to
use vaseline. olive or linseed oil. The
doctor will apply some preparation
containing carbolic acid.
If the air can be effectually exclud-
ed from a burn the pain is relieved.
Blisters should be picked and the
fluid absorbed with a soft cloth be-
fore dressing.
If the clothing adheres to the skin
the loose part should be cut away
and the patches of material soaked
off with oil or warm water.
When the injury is extensive the
sufferer will be Frustrated and may
die from the shock. Heat should be
applied to the extremities and over
the heart, and hot drinks given
until the doctor comes.
In burns from a strong acid the
part should be covered with dry bak-
ing soda or lime, as the alkali will
neutralize the acid. No water
should be used. but cosmoline or oil
applied after the alkah has been
brushed off.
When the burn has been caused by
an alkali an acid must be used. A
person recovering from the effects OF
a burn requires very nourishlng
food

EGYPTIAN COFFEE.

At recent luncheon, given by
some New York, women several
dishes were prepared by native OF
Egypt The coffee she made as fol-
lows: She took from a tightly
covered glass jar teaspoontul of
coffee which was pounded to powder;
then from another jar she took a
teaspoonful of sugar and mixed the
sugar and coffee we'll together in a
little brass coffee dish and, pouring q
tiny cup of hot water over it, she
held the dish, which had a long
wooden-topped handle, over an al
cohol fame and just let it come to a
boil Then she lifted it off the flame
for moment. After repeating this
process three times she poured the
coffee into the cups. Each cup OF
coffee was made separate.

TRUE VS.. FALSE DELICACY.

What is true delicacy, and what is
false? 1t is common to speak of our
age as one of refinement. No doubt
we are separated by gulf of re-
straints and scruples from the coarse
ness of former centuries-centurie
when lady of rank bantered Con
greve across the pit of a theatre in
phrases which shock us today;
when a Duchess of Northumberland
accepted the dedication of a novel
fit to be read only by the creatures
of a brothel; and when Young de-
stroyed the notes of Lady Mary
Wortley as too gross for print. But
when persons today boast of their
refinement" which is it that they
mean? Do they mean by the word
true purity OF mind reflected in the
conduct, language, and manners, or
do they mean only fastidiousness
1t has been justly said that refine
ment, like modesty, consists in mega
tives. 1t is not selfconscious, coarse,
or impure. This consciousness is a
safeguard from contamination and
suspicion; so that in no age is in
d1vidual refinement impossible. True

1t interprets what it sees on the
principles of charity. A man is not
more refined than another because
he suspects the loaf he eats, and as
sumes therefore that the kneader
was dirty fellow. On the contrary,
refinement, being clean itself, thinks
that others are clean also, until
forcibly undeceived. The "tather of
poetry" barbarous as we deem the
age in which he lived, has keenly dis
eliminated between true and mock
delicacv. When, in the Odyssey, the
Princess Nausicaa and her maids are
washing their garments in the river,
and the naked, shipwreckcd mariner
appears as a suppliant before them,
they act precisely as a high-bred
princess and her half-bIed maids
would act today. The one, with
real dignity, listens to his suppiica-
tons and relieves his necessities

much more expensive than the former.
He also figured the cost of a good boy
who learns trade and helps his mother

1t may not be generally known that
Rev. P. B. Fisk is the one who originally
discovered that the Swedish mission
churches are Congregational. This fact
was brought to his attention while he
was pastor at Lake City, MINI. Realiz-
ing the Importance of this discovery and
feeling that the Congregationalists
ought to act upon it, he at once made
known the facts of the case to Rev DIR.
L. H. Cobb, the Home Missionary super
intendent for Minnesota. DR.. Cobb, be-
ing about leaving for New York, was I'M
able to attend to the matter, and re-
quested that his successor be informed of
the facts. This was accordingly done as
soon as Mr.. Montgomery was appoint
ed. Mr.. Montgomery desired Mr.. Fisk
to look the matter up and bring it be-
fore the denomination. but the pastoral
cares of the latter prevented. In CONVEX
sation with these two gentlemen, Judge
E. L. Jones of Minnea polls became inter
ested and offered to pay Mr.. Mont
gomery's expenses to Sweden and back
if he would invetigate the subject. 1t
was thus that the position of the
Swedish Mission churches became
known, that DIR. Waldenstroem was in
duced to visit America, and that the
present interest of Congregation
alists in these Swedish churches came
about. Mr.. Montgomery, through an
oversight, forgot to make mention of
these facts in his book, "A Wind from the
Holy Spirit" but fully intended sub
sequently to give MIR. Fisk the credit he
deserved.

been committed. Loving hearts are

MR.. FISK'S LECTURE.

The Boston correspondent of the
Chicago Advance has the following
interesting comment concerning Rev.
Mr. Fisk lecture and his research con-
corning the Swedish mission church
A capital lecture was recently given at
WalpOle, Mass, by Rev. Perrin b. Fisk
of Lyndon, VT. His subject was "The
Cost of Boy" He figured out in cash
the cost of moderate sort of a boy year
by year, till he reaches his majority, on
the supposition that he goes through
school and college. He then figured out
the cost of a bad boy who falls into evil
habits and criminal ways and has no

ALBANIANs TO FIGHT.
They Will Face Each other for Purse
if the Militia is Not Called Out.

Albany, Ga, Jan. 26.-The successful
pulling off of the Corbett-Mitchell fight in
Jacksonville despite the opposition of the
governors of the two states has aroused
the pugilistic spirit in this city, and the
indications are that lively mill will be
fought in this city or hereabout in a short
time. The proposed contestants for fistic
honors are two heavy weight citizens who
have signihed their willingness to meet
each other according to Marquis of
Queensberry rules.
Steps were taken this afternoon to raise
purse and arrange for the combat. The
arrangements are being conducted very
quietly and only a few are yet in the
secret. The men who will meet each
other in the ring weigh 1S8 and 1872 pounds
respectively, and occupy good positions in
society. If Gov. Northen does turn out
the guards on them, the fight will come
off inside of a month, and it is predicted
that it will not be finished in the third
round.
Another sporting event in prospect is a
cooking main, which is booked to come off
at Davis store, short distance
over the Florida line, on Feb. 6.
The main will be fought with fowls from
this city, Thomasville and Tallahassee,
and good deal of money will be put up

FREE SOUP AND THE TARIFF
A Unique Plea Made Against Passing

Citizens of Streator, I'LL, Fear That
They Will Have to Go to the Free
Kitchens if the Bill is Passed-Sena-
tor Call Makes Another Speech on
the Rights Of Homestead Settlers on
Railroads.
Washington, Jan. 26-The usual num-
Der of memorials and petitions were pre-
sented at the opening of the session of the
Senate to-day. Most of them were
against the passage of the Wilson tariff
bill. One of these was from eighty-two
citizens of Streator, H., saying; "We
cannot feed, clothe and educate our fami-
lies and compete against the poorer
paid labor of Europe. We are
proud and don't want to be
Inundated by asking for charity. How

The resolutions heretofore offered by
of homestead settlers on railroad lands in
Florida, were taken up and MIR. Call ad-
dressed the Senate.
At the conclusion of Mr. Calls remarks
there was a long discussion as to what
disposition should be made of the resolu-
tion-the question being whether they
should go to the judiciary committee, or
to the committee on public lands. A men,

The House bill to repeal the federal
election laws was then taken up and Mr.

and demanded the yeas and nays upon it.
The motion was defeated by a strict
party vote. Yeas, 20; nays, 2S, Mr.. AL

democrats in the negative.
Mr.. Chandler resumed his argument
against the bill. speaking until $3.50

marks, Mr.. Chandler yielded to motion
to go into executive session; and q few
minutes thereafter the Senate adjourned
until Monday
