TO IMPROVE CONVERSATION.
The Moro We Think the More Lansusgs
We Command.

The lGsrs We Think the More Lansusgs
We Command.
A good vocabulary Is acquired by
reading good books, as well as by
hearing the talk Of these who express
themselves in the speech Of educated
people. Thought lies back OF speech,
and the more subjects interest us, the
more command Of language we shall
have in which to describe them. They
who read scientific books will have a
grasp of scientific terms. They who
discriminate nicely and use the very
best word to say what they have In
their minds will consult dictionary
and see what are the similarities or
the contrasts Of certain words; will
choose as among gems, the fiawless
ruby or crystal; will not be satisfied
except with the exact word which can
express precisely the meaning they
wish to convey. The reading of good
authors lifts our vocabulary from
meanness and meagerness to nobility
and splendor, enriches our speech with
words which are like beautiful en-
broidery on the garment Of daily life.
and furnishes us with illusions, quota
tions and phrases which are pictur-
esque, opposite or convenient for illus
tration. knowledge Of the Bible will
refine, enlarge and elevate the vocab-
ulary of any one, and the girl who
studies her Bible daily and reads
Shakespeare, Scott, Macaulay and Rus
kin will be better talker than she
who limits her reading to the daily
newspaper, or the latest agreeable
book. Dickens, Thackeray, William
Black, Blackmore, Barrie, Crockett,
Mrs. Oliphant and George Eliot are all
helpful to those who would be good.
bright, varied and entertaining talk
ers, because in all these authors you
continually find wholesome thoughts
expressed in forceful and strenuous
English, and bit by bit you receive OF

English so carefully bestowed upon
their work. would have the glH
who desires to talk we'll spend an occa-
sional hour with the poets, from Chau-
Ger to Kipling, for the music of it,
learning by heart fine lyric, or for
the thrill of it, reading aloud a noble
ballad. In her ordinary conversation
she will talk better for this knowledge
OF poetry which is wonderfully remu-
nerative and pays a large interest on
every investment. But here let me
give you caution borrowed from Au-
rora Leigh: do not be ungeneroua
even to book. Lose yourself in the
gladness of reading Let the book
warm you as the golden sunshine, lei
1t refresh you as the silver dripping OF
the rain. Keep a common blank book
and copy now fine sentiment, now a
bit Of description, now a stanza or a
criticism. These will insensibly assist
you so that in your ordinary talk you
will have weapons and tools ready to
your hand-Mrs. Margaret Sangster in
the Ladies' Home Journal.

A Narrow Escape.


From the New York Times: I'VE
were travelling from Ell Paso to the
coast" said the advance man OF q
theatrical combination, land the por-
ter had tucked us snugly in our births
when we were awakened to the con-
seriousness that our train was held
up The robbers marched us out OF
the car and made us deliver. Fortu-
nately not one of us had more than
a few dollars in cash. But the man
who held up the car porter gave yelp
of delight:
"'See what I've found! Put 'em
back; start the train!'
"In the careless porter's vest pocket
they had discovered roll Of bills as
big as the pocket would hold. 1t
looked as If there must have been sew
eral hundred dollars. We all knew OF
the profitable righteousness of the
Pullman car porter, but never
dreamed that his accumulations were
so large. Yet the friendly human
spark of forgiveness and sympathy
was in our hearts for the poor fellow
losing so much at one fell swoop.
We were gathered in the smoking
compartment and had consolation
purse under advisement for the darby
when he came along himself.
"'Mah Lawd Dat was de luckiest
'sperience l done ever had he said,
chuckling all over Lucky We were
astonished. A poor servant robbed Of
hundreds chuckling with glee. Deed,
yes, gem'men. Dey never looked but
ills in only one of my pockets.

slices OF hard-boiled egg.


Wash the fruit and then separate
tho pulp from the skin, putting the
pulp into one saucepan and the skins
into preserving kettle. Cook the
pulp until it is soft, and then put II
through a colander to remove the
seeds. Put the pulp with the skins
and allow one and one-half pounds Of
sugar to every four pounds Of fruit
Place the kettle over the fire and heat
slowly until the mixture comes to q

ONE man, Alexander jackson, of
Camden, DEL, has found that it is cas-
ier to acquire wealth than to give it
away. He is seventy-five years old
and is said to count his fortune in the
hundreds of thousands. Recently he
decided to divide his property among
deserving people while he was still
alive, in order that be might see how
his beneiciaries would use their unex-
pected capital. When this became
known his wealth was solicited by
thousands and a private secretary is
unable to read the stacks of letters
which each mail brings. If he had
undertaken to teach people how to ac-
quire wealth his philanthropy might
have accomplished more. There are
always thousands ready to help a man
spend his income and most of them are
injured rather than helped by such
benevolence as Mr.. jackson proposes
Heahas. however, shown a coidmenda
BILE spirit which few wealthy men pos
sess-that OF trying to assist his lest
fortunate fellow man. Il "a INA
The Princeton union., 1900-12-13

PERHAPS the best argument in ia
vor of forestry-at least the most forci-
BILE one-comes from Duluth, where it
is reported that the large sawmills
have lost money this season because
the lumbermen last winter cut the tim
Der too close. One mill lowered it's
output 100000 feet on this account,
the saws being kept busy with logs
that practically measured nothing
when the lumber was scaled. If these
small trees had been left to mature,
the cutting, driving and saving would
have been profitable. It may be that
this seasons experience will overcome
the greed of the logger and do more to
preserve the forests than all the laws
that congress might pass.

THE ST. Paul Revielu says that the
treasury report shows Uncle Sam to be
the richest fellow in the world. He is
rich because his pocket book is full
and running over. He has plenty to
pay his board and lodging, buy a
change of underclothing, and make a
deposit on his room rent for some time
in advance. When be is in this frame
of mind, he is apt to spend more than
he would if he were poor, and the pres
ident gives him good advice in the
message when he. warns him not tc
grow extravagant under the circum
stances. He won't. He has not forgot
the lesson Cleveland taught.

MOSES f.. CLlPP FOE UNITED STATES
SENATOR. -

MOSES e. CLAPP FOR UNITED STATES
SENATOR. %
The UNIONS first choice for United
States senator, to fill the vacancy Gre
ated by the death of Cushman K. Davis,
is Moses E. Clapp-the ''Black Eagle"
of Minnesota. Mr.. Clapp is an. able
lawyer, a brilliant orator and a man OF
the people, There are other good men
who aspire to the senatorship, but, IN
our judgment, Mr.. Clapp is by all odds
the best qualified for the position. As
we have previously remarked it is not
possible for Minnesota to send such
another as Davis to the United States
senate at this time, but, measured by
the Davis standard, Moses E. ClapI
will come nearer 10 filing the require
ments than any other man. No mis-
take will be made if big, brainy, bril-
liant Moses E. Clapp is chosen to sue
ceed the lamented Davis in the United
States senate.

IT is unfortunate that whenever a
wealthy man enters the race for polit-
ical honors rumors of the use of money
to gain preferment Immediately cir
culate. A man who has made sue
cess of his private business has the
ability to conduc public business cred
itably, but many of them refuse to
enter the lists on account of the scan
dal that attaches and consequently the
government misses the services OF
some mighty good servants.

The Democrats have discovered that
the full dinner pail played an import
ant part in the recent campaign and
had considerable to do with securing
votes for the Republican candidates.
1t is sad to think that the American
people are becoming so degenerate as
to pass up the intellectual rarebits gar
nished with Bryan's finest oratory and
think only of their stomachs.
