HUMOROUS lnsIAllce8s
Mr.. Joseph Malins, himself u we'll
known public speaker, gives The Wom-
ans Signal some amusing instances of
the humors of public speaking. 1t is.
he thinks. u lack of fluency that causes
the speaker so often to blunder. Mr..
Malins has listend to a temperance ora
tor %dcploring the fact that a friend re-
sorts to "tEe frequent use of the daily
glass" lie heard Il notable lady speaker
speak of Stun children ''brought into
the world with no more idea of home
comfort than the children of negroes in
Africa"
One speaker said, III rise eml,l,a,ic-
ally" and another said, 81 stand pros.
trate with establishment" Yet mnorher
fcelingly told his audience that it WAS
mot the platform speaker, bu, the
house to house visitation and the utter.
snce of the silent word by the caller
which did the most good" The state
ments that ''the previous speakers >ug-
g%estions were very suggestive an, that
another speakers remarks were "miS-
calculated to mislead" Mr.. Malins also
mentions.
Then there is the speaker who always
misplaces his chs" and who prays '',hat
we might be brought to the halter"
There was u flight of fancy when the
speaker asked. Suppose if a modern
balloon dropped upon an uninlubitcd
island, what would the natives say::''
The scientific lecturer said of his COM
ing experiment that call depends upon
the present condition of the body about
to be created" A town councillor spoke
Of "the rivers aud streams that abut
OIL the borough boundaries" Among
Mr.. Malin's other examples is the speak.

study of mankind i'll general il the-the
study of mankind in general" whcre-
upon an urchin in the audience cried
out, "You're a-goin in at the same hole
you came out at"
No less embarrassed was the old gem
tleman. who, stumbling through :n
after dinner speech, said, I'll have
no more to say, and so-and so-lli
make a few more remarks" The build

Sometimes the chairman errs in wei
coming the speaker. A chairman yv:.s
heard to welcome IL speaker AS one ''N;l,o
is always with US, and we wisl, he
would come oftener." Kind was the ar
uouncement that ''there will be two
more opportunities to hear the lecturer
once more" 1t was when the meeting
ended that the chairman asked the am
dience to ''close by singing just one
verse of the doxology."

BLUE PETER IN WHIST.
The Signal For Trumps First Employed
by Lord Henry Bentinck.

by Lord Henry Bentinck.
There is Il house in London which
should he the Mecca of all whist players
who believe i'll the new school and The
''information" game, Il shrine before
which they should bow respectfully as
the fountain head of all that is modern
i'll the game. This is 81 St. James
street. and it is within sight of MARI
borough House. Its fame rests chiefly
OIL the fact that it was at one time
known as Graham's club, and that
within its walls Lord Henry Bcntinck
first introduced the blue peter, or
signal for t1umps, which consists in
playing Il higher card before a lower
when no attempt is made to win the
trick. That signal has been to the whist
players of the world like the pillar of
fire to the children of Israel For more
than 40 years it has led them up and
down i'll the wilderness of arbitrary con
ventions, but it has never brought them
to the promised land of better whist.
The blue peter was the introduction
to whist of IL purely arbitrary signal or
convention, and it's seed has spread like
q thistle's until it has entirely overrun
the old game of calculation, observa.
ton. position and tenacc," leaving in its
place long suits, American leads, plain
suit echoes, four signals and directive
discards. These seem to have choked up
all the dash, brilli;mcy and individual
ity in our whist players, reducing them
all to the same level, not by increasing
the abilities of the tyro, but by curtail-
ing the skill of the cXpert.-R. Frederic
