ESSENTIALS or AN ORATOR.


Senator Hoar Advtses Lstia or Greek
Trsnsissions - Trasaiag.
In the opinion OF Senator Hoar. the
two most important things that a
young man can do to make himself a
good public speaker are:
l. Constant and careful written
TRANSACTIONS from Latin or Greek Into
English.
2. Practice In a good debating So
ciety.
II has been said that all the greatest
parliamentary orators OF England are
either men whom Lord North saw. or
men who saw Lord North--fhat Is. men
who were conspicuous as public speak
ers in Lord North's youth, his contem-
poraries and the men who saw him as
an old man when they we're young
themselves. says the Senator In Scrib-
ner's. This would include Bolingbroke
and would come down only to the year
OF Lord John Kusselrs birth. 50 We
should have to add few names cspe-
cially Gladstone, DisrneIi. John Bright
and Palmerston. There IL no great
parliamentary orator In England since
Gladstone died. once good many
years ago looked at the biographies Of
the men who belonged to that period
who were famous ~ great orators in
the Parliament or In court, to md II
1 could the secret Of their power. With
the exception OF Lord Erskine and Of

Some British Titles Are cheap.

The general distribution of titles and alphabetical letters threatens to make every Englishman "distin- guished" in the near future. There are several so-called ''learned socie- ties" which are more or less cluns, and admit almost all candidates who are wiling to pay the trifiug sub scription, and many of them author- ize their members to add descriptive letters to their names. To be q "fel- low" or member" of such societies does not imply that he who is the one or the other is "learned" in the particular science or art which the institution is named after, hut mere y that he pays the subscription re- quired, It is time that the govern ment should interfere in the whole sale manufacture of bogus fellows" and members" the more so that some of the societies alluded 10 are allowed to use the word "royal' in describing themselves. It is to be hoped that attention will be called 10 this matter in the house of com mons, because the appetite for titles IS growing with unwholesome rapid ny in this country, and il should be restrained within reasonable limits.

Arizona Sunsets.

Arizona Is famed for her gorgeous sunsets. At this season of the year mbstonites are almost daily treated Co the grand celestial panoramic view, Sunday evening was a particularly supurb and inspiring sight of nature's grandeur. The sun had neared the horizon over the Whetstone range aud the clouds rapidly transformed the sky behind it. The clouds stretched them selves in choppy waves across the western sky. No sooner had the last direct ray of the sun disappeared, than the glories began to shine above. The inverted crests of the cloud waves be- came golden tipped and the deep, rich color in a background of delicately velvet woven shade, blended with the reflected golden yellow, presented a vivid effect that was sublimely gor- geous, and the splendor of the in- tensely beautiful scene lasted nearly twenty minutes. With the receding sunlight the effect changed, the high colors slowly fading, but even in the transition the shifting effect was a study and causes the reflection of how infinitismally miniature are the efforts of man in the world ofart as compared to the grandeur of natures handi- work.-Prospector.

local Merchants and Advertising.

An exchange refers to the fact that
 ,oUhere in the land can so many cata-
 ',gnes of department stores be found
 ,Dan in the mining camps and adverts
 ., the fact that miners are in the habit
 ,f ,fsending away for everything in the
 ,.ture of shoes and clothing, instead
 ,s ,snatronixing home institutions. We
 ,dmit that this is true, but at the same
 .re We have also to admit that these
 Apartment stores advertise their ,oodS and wares, which We regret to s,y the local merchant does not. We will take the town of Kingman ,. an instance The merchants who un advertisements in the local papers simply refer to the fact that they are dealers in general merchandise or ,omething of that sort. Not once is there a mention of the goods they ,sep on hand by which the attention oftbe purchaser out in the country amid be attracted and a sale made. And again the local merchant will say: Why everybody knows us; they ,pow what we keep and if they want anything they can send to us for it, and we are simply helping out the newspaper men by giving them an ad- yertisement without hope of return" of course this view of advertising is all bosh.
 An advertisement in the local paper, if properly written, calling the atten- ton of the people to the fact that they can get things of better grade and at a lower price at home, will be produc- tive of good to the advertisers. The other day we called on certain com mission firm in kingman and solicited an advertisement One of the mem- bers told us plainly that they had built up their business without the aid of the newspaper; that every person in the county knew what class of busi- ness they were engaged in and only pstronized them because they found it to their advantage to do SO Now, The fact is that we could give their patrons pointers by which they might find that there was 70 advantage gained by being patron of the firm, as the products dealt in by them could be obtained direct from the jobber at advantageous rates.
 And again the newspapers are doing everything in their power to attract business this way and the firm Tn question is getting the benefit of this added business. Some time these firms will ind themselves competing with an advertiser who will snow them thing or two that they have not yet learned. Of course, patronize home merchants, but have home mer- chants patronize the newspapers and keep the purchasing public advised of what they have for sale.-Mohave County Miner.

Artificial Marble,

Manufacturers are actually making marble by the same process by which nature makes it, only in few weeks instead of a few thousand years. They take rather soft limestone and chemically permeate it with va fous coloring matters, which sink htothe stone, and are not mere sur lace coloring, as in scagliola. The completed material takes a fine pol sh, and many of the specimens are Of beautiful color and marking. Used as a veneer, it is about one-third the price of natures marble.-London Builder.
