ART OF CONVERSATION.
DEAR L. H. w: Remember that when you con-
verse that others like to hear their own voices
as well as you do yours. No matter how much
you think you have to say, give others chance
to reply.
People never like to be labeled second best,
and you never will be liked personally if you
rivet upon others sense of their own inieri-
oriiy, or prevent them from doing themselves
justice.
Encourage people to talk upon the subjects
that interest them. One may be dull upon
all topics save one. Find out that one, and he
will take you to his heart. You will also
learn something at the same time.
DO not be too eager to shine If you cannot
do SO without making an effort. better not try
TO shine at all. 1t will not be a success.
Do not sheer at working people. or talk ol
gentle folks, or brag of birth or family con-
nectious, especially in presence of seif-made
men.
DO not fear or resent criticism. bat take care
you do not deserve it, Above all. have sympa-
thy. There may be sympathy without talk
but no good talk without sympathy.

INTRODUCTION.
In our study of the Holy Bible it would be
we'll to keep in mind the following sentences
from Bishop Philips Brooks: bible study is
not the weighing of text against text, but the
estimating of great streams of tendency, the
following of great lines of thought, the appre-
henson of the spirit of great spiritual thinkers
who had the mind of Christ. The single verse
is no longer like jewel set in wall, which
one can pluck out and carry as an independent
thing. 1t is window by which we may look
through the wall aud see the richness it in

Leave their dreary traces.

Not Worth Mentioning.

The queen was once informed
by the manager Of her Shaw farm
that a Scottish farmer was a breeder
of superior collie dogs. and she there
upon expressed a wish to possess one
of them. Accordingly. the farmer
forwarded two beautiful dogs, and
her majesty gave orders that the next
time he came to the farm he should
immediately be taken to the castle.
The farmer was somewhat uneasy as
to how he Should comport himself in
the presence Of royalty, and the man
ager pun him through his facings. AT
last the fateful day arrived, and he
was ushcrcd into the presence Of the
queen. Her majesty shook hands
with him and said: II have to thank
you for the two beautiful collies Won
sent me" And to this gracious re-
mark the farmer replied: "Touts,
touts, wumman! baud yer tongue!
