visitors to a Turkish cafe on the Bos-
phoTus what time they sip delicious
coffee and enjoy the subtle delights Of

AT the same time this is not every
thing. It is Characteristic of the Paris
ians that what they undertake is done
thoroughly There is even a bare cara
vansary-as grim and uninv:t,ng as
amy which ever held out hospitality to
the wearied traveller in the east. There
is the tent of the Maoris, where shark S

have been to the Paris exhibition for
nothing.
These restaurants, which are merely
a corner of the great whole, the gigan-

giant cocoon from which one of these
strange growuhs might have shot up
into the air, stand in the midst of de-
icious lawns and fiower-lit gardens.
Between the tall trees along the river

one word it is fairyland.
Merely to make a tour of the grounds
is a. prodigious undertaking. They are
like a gigantic maze, a labyrinth of
wonders, to provide which the whole
world has been drained.
Here the progress of architecture is
closely followed; there is old Parts, a
heterogeneous mass of form and color,
a. co-mingling of every style and every
period, condensed, complete, the his

acre.
We begin with few rude hufs of

Gallo Romano style, then Gothic build

peTipd dotted the banks of the Seine.
Finally there is Paris of the sixteenth
century. Ihere Is the Grand Caatelet,

Judgment hail. We may even see the
judges, sergeants and the executioner
in their official dress.
At the beginning of the twentieth
century we are suddenly transported

DEMOCRATIC


1t has been said that if William
Jennings Bryan had selected the stage
instead of politics as his particular
field of endeavor, he would have in
herited the mantle Of Booth or of
Barrett, but just at this time he is
probably very well satisfied with his
choice. When Bryan made his great
speech at the Chicago convention the
fasteners who were unfamiliar with
him said that he must have studied
under some finished elocutionfst, as he
displayed a knowledge of the numeT-
Gus little arts which capture an audi
ence and hold it a slave to the speaker
from beginning to end.

NOT A FASHION PLATE.

The people of the east, when they see
Mr.. Bryan, will NOT be impressed by
the grandeur of his attire. He wears
trousers which seem much too large for
him. They have a long and fat bag
at the knee and his coat fits him too
loose across the back. His shoes are
square-toed and turn up at the ends.
They are also too large for him, as the
leather is wrinkled all over the top of
the foot. But Mr.. Bryan has the art
of wearing old clothes gracefully, that
is, the lines of his sturdy figure show
up beneath them.
When Mr.. Bryan first comes upon the
platform he is not impressive. He
wears a kindly smile, his coat is un-
buttoned and hangs loosely on his
shoulders, and his long arms hang idly
by his side Were it not for his face
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-08-09

the multitudes who will fight, crowd
and push to see aim. Bryan is prac-
tically unknown to the great masses
of the eastern cities. and Republicans
are just as eager to see him as the
voters of his own political faith.
If snapshot photographs could be
taken of him during the speech he will
make on that occasion, they would
doubtless reveal a variety of facial ex-
preston which any actor on the stage
today would envy. Bryan has that
peculiar kind of face which is suscepti-
bic to every emotion of the man and
pictures them faithfully.
Some observing genius has said that
the amateur orator gesticulates with
his whole body, a finished orator with
his arms and diplomat with his

he would look i'll at ease and out of
place. When he starts to speak he
sometimes warns up to his subject at
the very outset, and again he leads up
to tine exciting periods slowly, avoiding
gestures of all kinds.
When talking quietly his favorite
pose is to stand with both hands thrust
into his trousers pockets. When be-
ginning TO present an argument he
throws his head to one side and raises
his right hand as high as his waist.
When the speech becomes warmer he
raises his right hand as high as his
head and gesticulates forcibly with it.
In the next stage of a speech he re
moves his hand from his pocket and
uses both his arms gently witch the
hands wide open. AS the temperature
of the topic climbs higher he doubles
up both hands. raising the right and
keeping the left close to his side In
the final stage beth hands are held

ARRANGING PHOTOGRAPHS.

A novel idea, and one by means of
which photographs of celebrities in lit
erature or music may be used to ad-
vantage, is to arrange them along the
top Of the low book shelves in the
library by means of panel of glass
as wide as a cabinet photograph, in
serted just above the shelves. a mar

BRYAN USES THEM ALL.

Bryan uses his arms. his body. his
hands, his shoulders, his face, when
making a. speech. He hasn't any sim
gle popularity like that of Henry Clay,
who always scratched his head Just
before ripping out some exceptional bit
of oTatorical thunder, or like Thomas
Jefferson, who waved piece of blank
paper in the air. Bryan brings into
play every muscle in his body and
even his opponents acknowledge that
he uses each and every gesture at
precisely the right time. He has a
massive frame, with shoulders as broad

fingers. This has a pretty ring to it,
but it is not overburdened with truth.
If it is true many popular ideas re-
garding the abilities of famous speak
ers are all wrong. For instance, DR..
Talmage has the oratorical gift to a
high degree, but he prances about the
lecture platform or pulpit with an
abandon equal to De Wolf Hopper in
a comic opera role. Ingersoll and De-
pew, particularly the latter, are quiet
speakers as far as physical contor-
tons are concerned, but they are ex-
ceptions.
Nearly all the great political speak
ers of today indulge in bodily manner
isms. Senator Vest of Missouri has
the oratorical gift, and he does pretty
nearly everything but turn somer-
saults during speech. Even Major
