Where EIoouence In Wasted.

1t might have been supposed that
Addison, the most polished writer Of
our Augustan age; that Burke, with
his versatile intellect and exuberant
eloquence; that Macintosh, with his
almost encyclopedia learning, or that
Jekyll, who had set hundred dinner
tables In a roar, would one and all
have achieved conspicuous success In
the house of commons.
But, as Macaulay has pointed out,
exactly the reverse was the case. Their
speeches produced no effect. They
wearied and bewildered their audience.
And their rising to speak was too often
the signal for general exodus; In fact,
as was said of Burke, they acted as a
dinner bell. Even Macaulay himself,
though on two occasions his speeches
changed the fate of a division, was In
no sense of the word an orator or even
a great debater His voice was too
shrill and monotonous, and he poured
out a torrent OF words with such head
long fiuency as to confuse his hearers
as well as to battle the quickest of par
liamentary reporters. Bulwer Lytton,
again, could recite an admirable essay,
but his delivery was bad, and the see
saw gestures which accompanied his
speech were as '.grotesQue rs those of
an old fashioned postboy."
In our own generation no two men
probably have had more highly Guilt
waited minds than John Stuart Mill and
Mr.. John Morley. but as far as their
parliamentary utterances go their
names are writ in water."-Black-
woods

Tit For Tat.

The diners at a popular New York
restaurant are said to have had the
privilege of witnessing an amusing lit
tie incident one evening not long ago.
An Anglicized young man seated
himself at table ut which there was
only one other person, a writer well
known throughout the country, but
evidently a stranger to the newcomer.
The writer Is a man whose dress is
always fastidiously neat, but by no
means fashionable In cut or expensive
In material. When the young man took
his seat, the writer glanced up at him
and, seeing that it was no one whom
he knew, returned to his study Of the
bill of fare
The young man languidly placed his
monocle in his eye, and, screwing up
his face to keep the glass in position,
treated the other guest at the table to
prolonged stare.
The stare ended abruptly, however,
for suddenly the writer looked up.
Quick as thought he seized an empty
tumbler and. applying 1t to his right
eye, stared gravely through its bottom
at his vis-a-vis.
The monocle was dropped In a very
few seconds, and then the tumbler was
replaced on the table. But the young
Anglomaniac's face was crimson,
while that of the writer remained
grave and unmoved, and through the
dining room rustled the sound of some
thing that suggested repressed merri-

We hear that in some sections farm
ers are planning to greatly reduce their
stock this fall because of short hay
crops. If they have no other alterna-
tive but to do 80, we cannot blame
them for such action, but we regret
that they did not earlier provide for
growing crops that would have kept
the animals In good condition when
pastures were dry and crops that could
have been substituted for hay when
winter comes. Some made such pro-
vision, and now. instead of selling an
imals, they are ready to buy. They
will find farming profitable this year
because they will be so situated as to
buy stock cheaply Of less prudent farm
ers, who can keep 1t until there are
better crops. The next worst thing to
selling stock at time when II should
be paying n profit is to sell it when 1t
Is not in the best condition to sell. All
who have to sell stock should try to
fatten 1t that they may get the best
market prices, remembering that In
buying and feeding grain they are add
ing fertility to their farms.-American
