these, in connection with the estab-

10 Learn Extempore speaking.

Il Mr.. Albert Matthews gives some yalu-
able suggestions in The University
Magazine on how to get upon ones feet
and mske an apparently extemp
Gus speech. The truth is that there is
really no such thing as an GRAFTON deliv-
cred on the spur Of the moment. The
particular wording may be offhand. but
the matter Of the thing must be there.
familiar to the speakers mind as q B
lC. This, after all, is the first requisite
in extempore speaking to have some
thing to say. You cannot have anything
TO say unless you know the facts in the
case and have thought out their bear
sings. The training for offhand speaking
ssMr. Matthews calls mental gymnastics.
His advice il proffered mainly to
syoung people at school, but there is no
reason why their parents and grand
parents, for the matter Of that, should
not pursue 3 similar plan and learn to
be good speakers offhand. Some 81 the
suggestions are as follows:
/ Give the pupil, for instance. 9 historical In
tcident-some event Of the day-a public or
private project that ia attracting general at
stention and discussion, an GRAFTON, ancient or
modern, an address. political speech. or
something Of the kind. Let him get first AL
the facts and study their relative Importance
to the end in view: next, let him master all
the collateral thoughts suggested by these
facts and which point toward the object Of the
theme in hand; finally, let him choose his own
way Of presenting them to an audience com
posed Of his teacher and some Of his classmates
1.-The more the better. Perhaps the exercise
might he likened to game: say, playing SEN
ator, orator. politician, vestryman, railroad
promoter or chosen spokesman for oombin-
ing capitalists. or social co-operators in some
business, or some philanthropic project
The pupil should be taught the absolute
necessity Of always having some definite plan
upon which to speak-say with beginning, q

arguments; I, specifications: 3, illustrations Of
purposes or points in view; lastly, q summary

Cripple Creek Gold Mines.

They differ geologically from those
found elsewhere. The United States
geological survey has had prepared q
very thorough map and description Of
the region in which the richest deposits
have been discovered. 1t is found that
the gold is Of volcanic origin. having
been fused in the earth and thrown up
in the outbursts Of lava The volcano
which vented the gold, lava and melted
rock belonged to the tertiary period,
The gold as found is usually mixed
with the mineral known as telluride.
Occasionally some is found pure, doubt
less left after the decay of the telluride
The telluride is found imbedded in
quartz and beautiful crystal which is
called at Cripple Greek purple quartz,
but which biologists class as fuorspar,
a mineral containing lime, while quartz
is Of the nature Of sand or flint stone.
Along the cracks of the rocks the gold
bearing ore rests, and it may be found
almost anywhere in these assures. J.
Biologists find that the formations at
cripple Creek are q comparatively re-.
cent date not more than q few million
years old, that is. The character Of the
soil and minerals is of intense interest
to scientists quite apart from the inter
est they have for the mere grabbers.

been taken from the Cripple Creek

A most useful accomplishment fol
either young men or young women with
their own way to make in the world is
a knowledge Of the Spanish language.
It is not very difficult to acquire. There
will be now constantly more and more
demand for clerks, stenographers, agents
and travelling salesme who can speak
and write Spanish. Our trade with the
Spanish speaking countries is rapidly
increasing, and will continue to do so.
In. commercial circles there is quite as
much need for knowledge Of Spanish
as Of French or German.
