What It Meant.

In one OF the suburbs OF Philadel.
phia there is a school principal who is
a very kindly man. He is noted par
ticularly for his love of animals, and
he never neglects an opportunity to
lecture his young charges on his pet
hobby.
The other day he told them all about
vivisec,ion and how. in the name of
science, it entailed untold suffering
upon dumb animals. AT the end of his
discussion, in order to make sure that
his words had been fully understood,
he asked:
Now tell me what vivisection
means"
please, SIR" answered one OF the
boys, "it means trying 1t on the dog. "

Cultivate pleasing address. 1t is a
great essential to success and one thing
necessary to it is the ability to express
your idea in good, plain, smooth En-
glish. When you speak let your Ian
guage 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 clear conception of
your meaning yourself. Then say what
you think In the plainest way you can.
Avoid the use Of large words the mean-
ing Of which some Of your hearers may
not understand. Speak so concisely
and clearly that If what you say were
written it would express your ideas ex-
actly. Then besides clearness there Is
in conversation an elegance that marks
the good cCnversationallst To acquire
this you should make careful study
of the dialogue in good books. Listen
to good speakers and try to catch their
style. Get into way of putting what
you have to say in a smooth, pleasing
way. This requires study and careful
observation of others and constant Wig
lance to avoid awkward phrases and
sentences, but you can improve your
