FOR YOUNG MEN.

Cultivate a pleasing address. 1t Is
a great essential to success and one
thing necessary to 1t is the ability to
express your Idea in good, plain,
smooth English. When you speak let
your language be the exact expression
Of your meaning. Don't muddle up
what you have to say, nor abbreviate
nor tell the same thing over twice.
Formulate your idea. That is, get a
clear conception Of your meaning
yourself Then say what you think in
the plainest way you can Avoid the
use Of large words the meaning Of
which some Of your hearers may not
understand. Speak 80 conclsely and
clearly that II what you say were
written 1t would express your idea ex-
act Then besides clearness there is
In conversation an elegance that
marks the good conversatlonallst. To
acquire this you should make q care
full study of the dialogue in good
books. Listen to good speakers and
try to catch their style. Get into a
way of putting what you have to say
in smooth, pleasing way. This re-
quires study and careful observation
of others and constant vigilance toI
avoid awkward phrases and sentences,
but you can improve yourself in this
way If you are willing to undertake It.

DEWEY IMPRESSED THE OXON-
IAN.

Philadelphia Post.
Every graduating class at Annapolis
leaves behind 1t the fame Of certain
heroes in the line Of physical prowess
or mental endeavor. One OF these he
roes was George Dewey, fine, manly,
athletic youth, the pride Of the boxing
and fencing masters and the terror II
the bullles
In Dewey's class was a youth Of an
excellent bent for applied mathematics
but 50 tender of physique that he Of
ten suffered from the rough horseplay
Of his elders. Dewey took this boy
under his protection and the two be-
came fast friends. They swung their
hammocks in the same watch on their
graduating cruise, and when the ship
touched at Liverpool obtained permis-
sion to run up to London on a days
leave. BY rigid economy the two had
scraped together a little more than
R2 apiece, nd they landed in the Eng
llsh capital arrayed in spick and span
new uniforms, with the air Of financial
magnates. A round Of sightseeing
had reduced their combined capital to
two sovereigns and their return tick
cts, when their boyish appetites an
nounced the hour Of noon.
with the cautious economy Of his
apcaetora the gcotchman suRpeatpd a
chophouse, but, then as now, nothing
but the best would suit Dewey, and he
accordingly steered his chum into the
finest hotel he could find.
The two seated themselves at one
Of the tables and scanned the menue
with a magnificent air. The very first
item that caught their eyes was
Strawberries and cream" and this,
with its reminiscence Of home, they
proceeded to order.
Now, the time was winter, and
from the hothouses are
expensive in London, 80 It was small
wonder that the other guests who had
learned the order looked inqulringly
at these specimens Of the jeunesse do
rec Of the American navy. An OK
ford lad who sat next them seemed
impressed and turned his
large eyes upon them in awe. The
Scotsman nearly collapsed, but Dewey
noticed the eyes Of the Oxonian upon

buse themselves OF all such notions
The fact is that the Transvaal. witt
! citizenship restricted 10 a minority
and not only religious, but sectariar
tests and lingual shibboleths hedging
in all real authority, is not a republic
but a particularly narrow and despotic
oligarchy. On the other hand, despite
the nominal monarchy, the British
Empire, whether in Great Britain itself
or in the self-governing colonies such
as the Cape and the Dominion Of Cam
ada and the United States Of Austria
ha, is one Of the most complete democ-
racies the world has ever known. on
the general ground Of form Of govern
ment, therefore, American sympathiss
will naturally turn TO the British side.
Americans will not fail. moreover. to
observe that the British are contend
ing for much the same principles that
they themselves and their ancestors
have cOutended for in more than one
war. The Outlanders have been pro-
testing against taxation without rep
rasantation, and great Britain is back
ing them up in it. It was to enforce
that identical protest that the Nation
fought its first war. Again, the British
are contending that a British subject,
wherever he may be, is entitled to
British protection. Was not that what
the United States was fighting for in
1872? Again, it is said Great Britain
has refused arbitration and has in
sisted that the dispute must be settled
between her and the Transvaal without
alien intervention. Would we have ac-
ceptCd alien Intervention in 1861? Or
Would this country have submitted the
settlement Of its dispute with Mexico
to the arbitration Of a European pow
er? Nor finally, will il escape notice
that there is similarity between the
Roer courting Of war with Great Brit
ain and the Spanish course toward the
United States. The Beers declare that
Great britain forced the war upon
them. SO the Spanish complained Of
the United States. This country can
scarcely admit the Bocr complaint to
be well founded without equally admit
ting that Of Spain.
In brief, then, Great Britain is act
ing precisely as the United States
would act in her place, precisely as
this country would have to act II it
did not wish to repudiate it principles
and its record. This is the great, SAL
lent, Fundamental fact which is likely
as it seems to Us TO determine the di-
rection in which the overwhelming
mass Of American sympathy will BE-
given. There is, Of course no ground
and no excuse for passion and excite
ment. There must be no animositles
aroused between Americans who sym
pathize with the Outlanders and those
who sympathize with the Beers. Nor
indeed will Americans generally fail
to sympathize in some measure with
the Boers, at least so far as to regret
that their counsels have not be wiser
and more generous, and that the hero
ism Of the great trek" has not had
a happier ending. But Just as Great
Britain stood Loyalty with US in sym

New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
Now that war has actually been
forced by the Transvaal upon Great
Britain, the question arises on which
side are American sympathies to be
cast. Officially the American govern
ment is not directly concerned, and
the question Of its neutrality will
scarcely need to be considered. The
war will be entirely on land and in
land, and, seeing that to get to the
scene Of war anyone would have to
pass through waters and across land
actually or practically under British
control and in British possession, it is
not supposed that even the most rabid
Anglophobes will undertake any fill
clustering expeditions to help the Beers
oppose American settlers in the Trans
vaal. The question of popular SYM
pathy Is. however, quite another mat
ter, and 1t will doubtless be variously
dealt with. There are some Americans,
including some Of the most worthy
and esteemed citizens, who are of
Dutch origin and who, through inAu-
ences Of consanguinity, side strongly
with the Beers. There are others, no
less worthy and perhaps more numer-
Gus, who similarly espouse the British
cause. There are, unhappily others
who are imbued with a blind hatred
Of Great Britain, and who for that
reason alone side with the Beers, not
that they love the Dutch, but that they
hate the British. But these are classes.
The masses Of the American people
will be guided and governed by broad
er PRINCIPLES than these.
They will not, in the first place, be
misled by the pretense that the Trans
yaal is a republic and Great Britain
an "effete monarchy" and that there
fore Americans should sympathize with
the former. They have only to com
pare the restricted franchise and cor
rupted courts Of the Transvaal with
the universal suffrage and free, strong
judiciary Of the Cape Colony to disa-

of the servants craze for initiating

here recently. ut was, she says.

went later on into the kitchen and
