The Art of Listening.
From Hlrper's Bazaar.


One of the busiest Of the many busy wo-
men with whom I am acquainted is also
the most charming woman with whom to
converse. She Is not a brilliant, perhaps
hardly clever talker, but one loves to talk
with her. After mature and thoughtful
consideration, I have come to tine eonclu-
sion that her charm lies in the fact that
she is an admirable listener. By her ev.-
dent interest in and sympathetic attention
to the matter of the conversation, she
brings out all that is best in the one with
whom she talks. Diffident people forget
their shyness in her presence, and leave
her with the comfortable and novel convic-
ton that they have, after all, acquitted
themselves rather well. Few persons Gull
tivate the art Of being good listeners, ard
yet to listen we'll Is perhaps even more de-
sirable than for one to talk well. The
good talker is often over eager TO say his
say, to utter his witticism, to tell his anec-
dote, and his conversation is often a mono
logue. The good listener inspires the talk
er by strict attention to all he says end.
above all. by looking at him while he
speaks.
There Is nothing more trying than to find
that your putative listener is giving oniy
partial heed to your utterances. 1t is
strange that a well-bred person should be

1t while pretending to pay heed to the talk
OF friend. The assurance 81 am orly
locking at the pictures in this magazine
not reading, and 1 hear every word you
say" is no palliaton of the offense The
speaker would be justified in declining to
continue the conversation until the pictures
have been properly studied. If a speech is
worth hearing 1t is worthy of respectful
and earnest attention.

expedfent, and one that prevents the heat
developed during the daytime from being
wasted. OF course, the burning of the dust
must go on continuously, and as only a
small amount of steam is required by day,
a lot of heat would be lost if some method
were not adopted to preserve it. Halpins
system was therefore adopted. During the
daytime steam generated in the boilers is
passed into a thermal storage cylinder,
where 1t is mixed with small quantity Of
cold water from the feed pumps the proper
lions being such that when the evening APP
proacheS the cylinder is full of water at
the temperature and pressure of the steam
required by the engines. The cylinder is
then shut off from the feed pumps and
connected to the boilers. which in their
turn are connected direct to the engines;
hence, when the boilers require feed water
they are supplied withlit from the cylinder,
at such temperature that the fuel that is
then being burnt has merely to furnish to
the water in the boilers the heat sufficient
to overcome the latent heat of evaporation
at the required pressure. The result of
this arrangement is that the boilers are
able to evaporateg about one-third more
steam than they would be able to evapo-
rate were they connected directly with the
water mains, and, moreover, gases can be
sent away from the boiler at such low
temperature that 9they would be useless
for the purposes even of an economiZer.
The Importance of the thermal storage cyl
inder is further enhanced by the fact that
1t acts as a water purifier.
One of the main drawbacks to the use of
water-tube boilers has always been over
come by the use of clean softened water.
but If the feed water be first raised to $50
degrees, F'ahrenheits iqn the thermal storage
cylinder the deposit will occur mainly
there, and clean water will be delivered to
the boiler. Curiously enough, the presence
of scale In the cylinder will tend rather to
improve its efficiency than otherwise, for
the radiation losses will diminish. The
electrical generating portion of the under
taking is fitted with the very latest devel-
opments of science, both for lighting and
motor purposes, and the whole establish
ment stands memorial to the enterprise
and public spirit Of the Shoreditch vestry.
At the opening ceremony yesterday there
was an immense concourse of residents in
the parish and of persons interested N
electrical and municipal work. Imme-
diately after his reception Lord Kelvin pro-
ceeded from the large MARQUEE where the
ceremonies were to take place to the works
and switched on the current. Obedient to
its impulse, the electric lifts began to
move, and huge dust carts, with their
horses, were lifted up to an upper story to
discharge their loads. while the arc and in
candescent lights glowed brilliantly.

Adjustment.

From HGrper's Bazaar.
The word adjustment gives an idea of
parts fitting into one another, each part
doing what it can to accommodate itself TO
every other part.
So the word expresses well the conditions
most of us assume during our temporary
Punishment from home in the summer time
We submit ourselves to new adjustments;
and unless We really do this, with all that
it implies, We do not thoroughly enjoy our
summer circumstances or get the most
good out Of them. We, as parts do not do
our. best to put ourselves I'm harmony with
the rest of the parts, and therefore there
will be 1iscords.
Some of us, alasi take q position anG hold
1T Dramatically and arbitrarily. We think
II is for others to adjust themselves to us.
But place taken I'm such a spirit Is more
often wrong one than a right. Ii We are
square, we will see that We have probably
forced ourselves into a round hole, and
until We change We cannot expect .he rest
of the parts to get placed properly.
The most charming person upon earth is
the adaptable person, the one who gets
along I'm all places and suits people of all
scrts. He fits anywhere; there Is no stiff
ness, no aggressiveness, about him. He Is
rather like a luminous ether, which sur
rounds, perfects and Eliminates all the
rest, and finds its beauty and its aim in so
doing.

From Harpers Baaar
There Is many a girl who is disposed to

''High Water BfIl' Moorhead.
From the st. Pull Pioneer Press.

William H. Moorhead, better known dur
Ing later years as High Water BILL" has
just died at his home in Pembina, N, D..
after an illness of six months. This sobri-
Quet he gained by his numerous prophecies
as to just how high the water in the Red
river would rise each year. and. be it said,
his predictions were usually not far astray.
As an incident in this line. it is said that
this spring: before the snow melted, as he
was lying In his bed on the lower floor
of his house, talking high water to 3
visitor. he reached down about half way
on one Of his bed posts and said: you'll
see the water up to this spot when the
snow melts," and his prediction was verb
ned. He refused to be carried up stairs
until the water came in on the floor.
Mr.. Moorhead was typical frontiersman
and a general favorite. The history of the
Red river valley would be far from COM
plete without an interesting reference to a
man who was known far and wide for his
genial good nature and Interesting stories
Of the pioneer life In the northwest.
