Writers and Speakers.

The principal difference between writ
ers and speakers is, after all, to be discov'
cred in temperament. The presence Of an
audience, especially a large audience, has
always one of two effects on man. II
either stimulates or depresses him.. To the
born speaker it lends vivacity to the intel
lect and fluenoy to the tongue; others II
strikes dumb. A man may of course be
fluent without being an orator. An empty
man is often huent-that is due to vanity
O pompous man is sometimes confident
and ready Of speeoh-that is due to CON
ceit. The one chatters on, serenely uncon'
scious that he is talking nonsense; the
other has too lofty sense Of his own i'm
portance to suspect for moment that hi:
rounded periods are mere commonplace.
The fact is that in every case the fruit
smacks of the soil.
But even with the greatest orators there
is not only particular style and flavor
peculiar to each, but so complete and close
an adaptation to the taste of the audience
addressed that the oratory of one age Il
very apt to seem WEAKNESS or darkness te
the next.-Gentleman' Magazine.

through his intervention, set free. the
natives afterward showed their
gratitude for this act by kindly caring
for shipwrecked crew, who had
expected to be murdered. Archdale,
moreover, showed an open spirit
toward the Spaniards, who for the
first time expressed wish to be on
friendly terms with the English. No
sympathy was extended toward the
freebooters. Finally, the Council and
Assembly, previously at loggerheads
with the proprietaries, now voted
them grateful thanks-the first express
ion of such sentiments ever uttered in
Carolina. Altogether Archdale was
Governor little more than year, yet
his brief administration was so mark
ed by executive ability, allied to
patience, tirmness and openness
toward all. that las I have said in
another place. it merits the attention
of every student of our history.
Archdale in Carolina, and Penn and
his immediate successors i'm Pennsylva-
MIA during nearly 20 years demon
strate, as DR.. Boardman has, in effect,
expressed it, that peace practical need
not be held to he dream of Utopia,
but may, if we seek and pursue IL, oe
made an actuality.
Another incident in the life history
of John Archdale-it is recorded III
"Memories of Jordans and the Chal-
fonts'-is worth mentioning, to wit,
that within two years after his return
to England he was elected member
of Parliament for Chipping Wycombe.
When appointed Governor of Carolina
he had been permitted, because of his
conscientious scruples, to make all
affirmation, according to the form
of his profession, in lieu of an oath. /"
Upon entering the House, however,
being asked by the Speaker if he
had taken the oaths, he said. "In
regard to principle of my profession.
[ have not taken the oaths, nor will |
take the oaths." He was not allowed
to take his seat, and his brother
Thomas, being elected in his stead,
and not having a like scruple, was
seated. John Archdale. however, had
the distinction of being the first
Quaker returned to Parliament.
A short stroll southeastward from
Wycombe, towards the Chiltern Hills,
is the village of Beaconsfield, associa-
ted with the name of Britain's recent
Prime Minister. Stoke Pogis, famed
for its connection with Gray's Elegy,
is little further on, and not far in
another direction, the quiet burrying-
ground of Jordan's Meeting House,
where Penn was buried. While his
bones rest there in peace his "Holy
Experiment" Increasingly bears fruit.
1t is well, that from the City of
Brotherly Love suggestions for an
international high tribunal should
emanate for the greatly to be desired
permanent pacification of the nations.

Didn't Like Experiments.

One Of the Massachusetts, congressman
lives near Boston. He has beautiful es-
tate, his admiration for which is shared
by his coachman, Mike. The other day
Mike brought couple Of his Irish friends
upon the place, and after escorting them
around the grounds and showing them
the stable ushered them into the hall.
There, somewhat to his surprise, he met
his employer, but the latter was deter
mined not to be outdone in hospitality by
his coachnan. Bring your friends right
into the dining room, Mike, he said, and
into the dining room the trio followed
him.
"Now, my men, Of course you can have
what you like" he remarked as he stood
by the sideboard, "but have drink here
that 1 think you will like. There is q
story to it, by the way" he added, (which
may interest you. 1t is called Benedictine,
and it is made by monks up on the Alps.
They fill q little flask with it and send out
their st. Bernard dogs to find travellers
who may be overcome by the cold. When
poor half frozen fellow is found, he
drinks little of this cordial from the
flask, and then he is able to follow the
dogs to place of shelter -
The men listened to the storyin silence.
Finally one of them mustered up courage
to speak. "Have you any gin?" he asked.
Certainly" said the congressman as
he laid aside the cordial. "Help yourself" ."
The men took good, substantial drink
of gin and smiled happily over its familiar
taste.
"That wasn't bad, said one of them.
"Now bring on your dog liquor!"-'Wash-

HOW TO Make q Good Boy.

The following incident, from an
exchange, is very suggestive: 'They
all put brandy in them," said one.
"They all don't. My mother has
mince pies since the day Bob said
be could taste the brandy, and it
tasted good. Mother said then it was
a wrong. and she never would be gull
ty of 1t again. And if mother says a
thing is wrong, you may be sure it Is
wrong; for what mother knows, she
knows" How about mince pies? Are
you sure she knows how to make pies
good ?" and laugh went up from
q group of girls gathered around the
register of the recitation-room, eating
their lunch. But some of them
WINGED little when back were tossed
these words: IF she doesn't, she
knows how to make boy good and
and isn't boy worth more than a

Salicylic Acid for Preserving Fruit.

Although the use of salicylic acid in
wines and preserved fruits has been for
bidden in France, yet in Germany and
some other countries it's use is increasing.
In regard to the quantity eff acid to be
used, DR.. F. Won Heyden, of Dresden,
recommends for most purposes one drachm
(about two teaspoonfuls) Of crystallized
acid to every three pounds of fruit. The
jars may also be covered with white paper
soaked in an alcoholic solution of salicylic
acid. In manufactured preserves, mar
malades, etc., two ounces of acid are re-
quired for every hundred weight of pulp.
Raw fruit can be preserved long time
when wrapped in clean, salicylated paper.
The juice Of berries or any other kind Of
fruit will keep we'll for more than year
if treated with salicyHc acid at the rate
of one drachm to three pounds of juice.
This leaves the addition of sugar op-
tional. Planter.

The RETIRED BURGLAR.
One of the Most Curious of His Many Ne
markabIe Adventures.

"When I got up to the top of the nrst
flight of stairs of house that was III
one night" said the retired burglar, land
looked along the hall Of the second story,
I saw coming from partly opened door
down toward the front Of the hall on the
left q bright light. The stairs came up at
the rear of the hall and on the right. The
door of this room where the light was
opened on the side toward the 'front.' OF the
house, so that from where 1 stood could
see little of the front OF the room through
the opening. listened, but didn't hear
anything, and won't along down toward
the front. Thought somebody must have
gone to bed and left the light up, but when
I got ND near the door could see man
sitting in u big chair over on the other
side of tho room. Up there by the door I
could see pretty much all of the front of
the room. There was a bureau standing
against the front wall between the two
windows, and the man was over in the
corner beyond. He wasn't sitting back
comfortable in the big chair, but forward
in it, with his arms resting on his knees
and his hands together in front of him
with finger tips touching, thinking;
thinking hard about something. He did
not see me, he wouldn't have seen me if
1'ds stood right alongside of him, he was
SO busy thinking.
"Pretty soon he gets up and makes for
the bureau. He laid his two hands on the
handles of the top drawer, looking at the
same time into the mirror-with pretty
solemn sort of face it was too. Then he
begins to draw out tho top drawer slow,
still looking all the time into the mirror.
I had a sort of an instinct then what 1t
was all about, but still I didn't fully real
ize it till he'd got the drawer about half
way out and had let 60 of the right hand
handle and reached over with his right
hand into the drawer, still looking square
into the mirror, and lifted out gun and
up with it to his hend.
"'Hey, therep says I, you brass mount
ed, blue nodded idiot! What's the matter
with you?' and makes break for him,
and, of course, he swings around, for it's
tremendous surprise to him, and in about
sixteenth part Of second I've got his
gun, and we're standing there looking at
each other; young fellow he was, and
not a bad looking chap.
"Well, do you know that young chap
had just simply made failure of some
business undertaking and lost all his mon
ey, and he was sensitive and respondent
over it and that night he'd sat there and
brooded over it till he thought he couldn't
stand it any longer, and he'd just upset
himself.
"Welll I gave him kind of talking
to. I tried to make it clear to him that he
wasn't poor, but rich. Lost your money!
says I. why, great Cesar's gripsackl
You've got youth and health and strength,
haven't you? What more do you wantP'
And he took it all in good part, and I left
him feeling better and grateful to me for
dropping in."-New York Sun.
