To Make a Man Talk.

Don't fire a lot of small talk at
a shy or silent man, and don't
pronounce him stupid if he fails
to return correspondent inani-
ties. Ordinarily when a man is
silent it is because you have not
put him to talking about the
right thing; and if he seems
stupid, it is because you have not
interested him. Girls make the
mistake of thinking the essential
thing is that they themselves
should seem to be "having an
elegant time" and that is why
they maintain an unceasing flow
Of chatter. But the real credit
comes to making all escort have
a good time. The girl who can
sit absolutely quiet and keep a
man talking is the clever girl,
and if the man is stupid she is
doubly clever.
It is we'll to have a little coach
ing from the hostess as to the
business or tastes of the man
presented, and then as soon as
may be lead around to subjects
kindred to his interests. 1t is
dreadfully rude to talk your own
shop, but it is social astuteness
to make the man with you talk
about his shop, You need not
know anything at all about the
business, but if you appear in
terested and DESTROYS Of informa-
ton, the man will talk like one
inspired. Often a little prelimi-
nary silence will put a shy man
at his ease. He realizes that he
is not expected to plunge into a
conversation, and presently be-
gins of his avn accord.
Or give him some small com.
mission, let him fetch you an ice
or go for your shawl, or ask him
about the man you last saw him
with. If you are clever at guess.
ing a mans mood, you may per-
haps venture with one who is
bored beyond measure to say, 81
know you think I am going t
make you talk, but | am not; J
am going to sit quite still, for ]
have exhausted all my small
talk" and, behold! likely he will
be at once launched, SO delight.
ed will he be to believe that he is
relieved of small talk. When ht
is started lead him on with sym
pathetic questions, help him t.
say clever things, let him see h'
impresses and interests you
give him rein and take your ease
The man will go home and vot'
you the one interesting girl o

WEALTH OF NATIONS.

The wealth of the United
States is more than a fourth as
great as that Of all the rest of
the world put together. So re-
ports Professor Francois, a stu
dent of political economy, in a
recent number of Monde Moderne
a French publication.
He places the wealth of this
country at 313, 900, 900 francs
which is equivalent to about
$62, 900, 900, OOO-aud that of the
other eighteen countries COW
cred by his statistics at LA,
700, 900. 900 francs.
According to this STATISTICAL,
the value of all property owned
in England, including money in
circulation, is 265, 900, 900. 0OC
francs-48 billion less than this
country's wealth. Third place
is given to France with 225, 600, :
900, 900 and fourth to Germany
with 161, 900. 600, 900 francs. Their
come Russia with 127, Austria
Hungary with 80, Spain with g.
and Italy with 81 billions, OF
milliards- as the French say
of francs.
These ale the richest countries
of the world. There are four il
the list-Italy, Spain, Russis
and Austria-Hungary-whos
combined wealth is only a little
larger than that of the United
States.
It is true that much of thu
wealth of this country is in thu
hands of comparatively few PEG
pie. Even if the inequality wer'
as bad as reported by the wors
of the discontents, the condition
of the masses here would still b
much better than it is in Europe
Wealth is more concentrate
even in. England than in tn
United States.
Notwithstanding the croakers
we still have good reason to b
proud of our country and of tn
fact that we belong to it and
to US.

THE BUSINESS FLOOD,
Atlanta Journal.

Atlanta Journal.
That was a striking expression
which r. G. Dun & Co. used in
their Weekly Review to describe
the commercial situation at the
close of last week. "a business
flood, strong and rapid" is what
they call it, and then go on to
show how many different direc-
lions the business tide has risen.
The rapid rise in iron has brought
into operation more furnaces
than have been ablaze in years.
The demand for structural iron
is enormous and increasing. The
advance in all forms of iron con
tinues.
The advance in wool and the
enormous sales of that article
vindicate the free wool clause OF
the tariff which, it was said.
would paralyze the wool indus
try in this country.
Cotton goods continue active
and strong These are only g
few Of the many signs of .pros'
porous times that stood out prom.
inently last week.
Reports from all the CONNER,
cial centers were most cheerful
and in every direction the out
look is fine.
These evidences of restored
prosperity are too substantial te
be brushed aside by the blowing
of the calamity bowler, and they
are proving the death of the des
perate theories af finance which
gained so great a hold on tn
people during the period of bust
ness depression.
