Mr.. EckeIs to Remain.

1t is stated on authority that there is no
truth in the published reports that Mr.
Eckels. the controller of the currency
would accept the presidency of Chicago

ton. The term Of office of the controller
OF the currency, under section 235 of the
Revised Statutes. Is five years, and as his
present term began on April II, 1893, 1t is
very probable that Mr.. Eckels will contin-

The Nose.

The nose is intended for breathing,
the mouth for speaking and eating. Who
has ever seen horse breathing other
wise than through his nostrils? Minute
scientific investigation has revealed the
fact that the number of people who
breathe through their nostrils are be-
coming gradually but surely fewer in
number. The consequence is that the
nostrils decrease in size, while it has
been found that the prevailing nose is
quite an inferior organ to that of our
forefathers.
Doctors at the present time are fire.
quently asked to operate on noses and
to enlarge them. Their owners have
found that they do not fulfill their func-
tions as we'll as they used to. 1t is be-
ginning to be feared by scientific people
that if matters grow much worse we
shall lose the use of our nasal organs
entirely.
1t is a well known physiological fact
that unused muscles and bones gradual
ly disappear. Fish who live in the
dark, for instance, or the mole, who re-
sides underground, become blind. Thus,
if we cease to use our noses for breath
ing, they will cease to exist They will

ITS LESSON.

From the hard times people will reap
lessons of experience, learning how to act
with more care in business and how to
apply remedies for the stringency of such
times. With more care we will have less
accidents, and much less suffering if we
know the true remedy. In the field and
workshop, indeed in all activities, sprains
and bruises happen and bring the hard
times of pain and suffering. Experience
teaches that it is always best to get the best
remedy, which is the cheapest in the end.
Experience points to ST. Jacobs Oil as
without question the best remedy for such
mishaps. being the surest and promptest
cure. suffering brings hard times even in
prosperity. The best remedy for it is the
surest way out of them.

Bone Castings.

Mistake is made by many 'home
dressmakers" in putting ON bone cas-
ings drawn very tightly. They should
be left loose-even wrinkled-as the
bones when inserted will bring them to
their proper arching shape on the in
side. Whalebone soaked in warm water
an hour before using render them more
pliable. Belt ribbon should never be
sewed to the underarm seams Bent
hooks should be chosen for fastenings,
setting ON first hook and then an eye,
and so ON alternately down the bodice,
and it will never unhook of itself
Waist Innings are cut an inch longer than
the outside to allow for the stretching
of the outside material The extra
length is taken up gradually in the

BLUNDERS OF SPEAKERS.
A Well known Orator Points Out soms
Humorous Instances.

Humorous Instances.
Mr. Joseph Malins, himself well
known public speaker, gives The Wom-
ans Signal some amusing instances or
the humors of public speaking. 1t is,
he thinks, lack of fiuency that causes
the speaker so often to blunder Mr..
Malins has listend to temperance ora
tor deploring the fact that friend re-
sorts TO "the frequent use of the daily
glass He heard notable lady speaker
speak of slum children drought into
the world with no more idea of home
comfort than the children of negroes in
Africa
One speaker said, 81 rise emphatic
ally" and another said, 81 stand pros
trate with astonishment. Yet another
feelingly told his audience that it was
mot the platform speaker, but the
house to house visitation and the utter
ance of the silent word by the caller
which did the most good. The state
ments that "the previous speakers sug
gestions were very suggestive" and 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 ''that
we might be brought to the halter. "
There was a 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 COM
ing experiment that "all depends upon
the present condition of the body about
TO be created A town councillor spoke
of "the rivers and streams that abut
ON the borough boundaries. Among
Mr.. Malin's other examples is the speak
er who began with saying, "The proper
study of mankind in general is the-the
study of mankind in general, )" where
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 gen.
tleman, who, stumbling through an
after dinner speech, said, IL have
no more to say, and so-and so-l'I
make few more remarks. " The build
er frankly declared he was "more fitted
for the scaffold than the platform. "
Sometimes the chairman errs in well
coming the speaker. A chairman was
heard to welcome speaker as one ''who
is always with US, and we wish he
would come oftener." Kind was the an
nouncement that "there will be two
more opportunities to hear the lecturer
once more" 1t was when the meeting
ended that the chairman asked the au-
dience to "close by singing just one
verse of the doxology.

One effect Of Puritanism on Protestant
ism has been to unfit it for many Christ

still better or worse performs. 1t was
the loneliness of the little clowns re-
ligious aspirations that touched me most.
I reflected on how many good people
would be disconnected to hear of them,

village so small but it contains families in

The missionary picked them up, and
with a kindly, family humorous smile

came nearer. He touched his hat. There
was touch of the grotesque. some

and said, with a very good accent and
