UChtUH CtyHut
Joseph Malins, himselfa well known pub
lie speaker. gives some amusing instances
OF the hdinors of public speaking. II Is, he
thinks. a lack OF fluency that causes the
speaker 80 often to blunder. Mr. Malins
has listened TO temperance orator de-
poring the fact that a friend resorts to
the frequent use OF the daily glass;" He
heard notable lady speaker speak OF
sum chiioreh Drought into the woriu with
no more idea OF home Comfort than the
, children OF negroes in Africa
One speaker said, II rise emphaticaIly,"
and another said, II stand prostrate with
astonisliment," Yet another reelingly told
his audience that he was "nDt the platform
speaker, but The house-to-iIouse visitation
ana the utterances OF the silent word by the
caller which did the most good" The
staCemeD S that ''the previous speakers
suggestions Were very suggestive" and that
another speakers remarks We're '.miscaI-
coiaUed To mislead'' Mr.. Malins Also men
tions.
Then there is the speaker who always
mispiaces his "h's,' and who prays that
we might he brougn TO the halter" There
was flight of fancy when the speaker
asked, Suppose If modern balloon
dropped upon an uninhabited island, what
would the natives say?". The scientific
lecturer said OF his coming experiment
that "all depends upon the present condi.
lion OF the body about to be created"
A town councillor spoke of 1.-THE rivers and
and streams that abut on the borough
boundaries. Among Mr.. Malins' other
examples is the speaker, who began with
saying THE proper study Of mankind in
general is the-tne study OF mankind in
general, whercupon an urcbin In the au-
dience cried out, YOU'RE a-goin' in at the
same hole you con- out at"
No less embarrassed was the old gentle
speech, said: IL have no more to say. and
so-and so-I'll make a few more remarks"
The builder frankly-ieclared he was more
fitted for the scaffold than the platform.
Sometimes tue chairman errs in welcoming
the speaker. A chairman washeard towel
come a speaker al one "who is always with
us, and we wish he would come oftener."
Kind was the announcement that there
VIII be two more opportunities to hear the
lecturer once more" 1t was when the
meeting was ended tuatthe chairman asked
the audience to 'clese by singing just one
verse OF tue doxology.''

that they breed as the latter do, relate
