HOW TO TALK WELL.
An Accomplishment That Adds More
to the Beauty of Home Than
Rich FurnishinRs.

A gracious presence and cheerful,
well-modulated voice have more pow.
er to create beauty in the home than
all the Injuries that money can buy.
The parent and teacher cannot over
estimate their moral value also. They
forestall opposition, allay irritation,
and prepare the way for receptivity.
What is called personal magnetism"
is largely capable of analysis. If .
stiff, uninteresting person has gen.
uine kindness and sincerity, though
he have only ordinary endowments,
he can be transformed by correct
training.
A husky, dull or weak voice may
be made pleasant and clear, a SLOW
emily enuncia ton may become elegant,
a slouching gait dignified, and an I'M
attractive person may become win
some. The charm of manner consists
in it's graces, it's simplicity and its
sincerity. Cultivate pleasant man
ner of laughing. Keep the voice SYM
pathetic and cheerful. A mother or
teacher with a querulous voice is re-
sponsible for much mis- behavior.
Look with interest, but without
staring, at the person with whom you
are talking. Do not let your eyes
wander over her clothes or round the
room. Be simple snd sincere. Be
yourself a good listener while an
other is talking. While talking to
a number of people scattered round
a room, even though you are telling
the story especially to one, let all the
Others feel that their presence is rec
ognized and their interest is appre-
ciated. Hold each one Pleasantly
with your eye.-Watchman

Potter agreed to do SO and readily
consented to do all in her power to
make the Rotations as effective as
possible.
The following Sunday evening, just
as the rector finished his sermon, she
stepped in front of the audience and
with great feeling recited one of the
most touching hymns in the Epis-
copal hymnal. Many of the audience
were moved to tears. The church,
which had been packed in anticipa-
ton of the innovation, was as still as
the proverbial pinfall during the tai
ented woman's part of the pro-
gramme. Mrs. Potter was dressed all
in white and recited in low but per-
fectly distinct tone.
Mrs. James Brown Potter will be
remembered as the society woman
who foresook the social world for
the stage. Sixteen years ago she was
a belle at Newport and New York,
and her pretty home in Washington
square was the center of New York
life. But discomfort entered and Mrs.
Potter took to the stage. For many
years her husband expected her to re-
turn, but gradually hope died out and
It became known that the brilliant So
ciety bud had become no less . bril-
liant flower of the stage.
In the Potter home there was
small child, Anne Urquehart Potter,
called Eff" who was left to her IA
theirs care.' Miss Potter recently
married Mr.. Stillman, son of the New
York banker Between mother and
daughter during the many years that
have INTERVIEWED there has been little
communication. Once they met, some
years ago, but no tenderness passed
between them.
Mrs. Potter is one of the most
striking woman of the stage. Not
young in years, she has preserved her
girlish looks and is positively youth
full on the stage. At her country
seat near London she spends her days
out of doors, and when a reporter
visited her recently she was picking
roses in the garden, the very picture
of sweet 16 in figure and in artless
grace.

Paw. De.rly for His Enmity.

Three thousand and four hundred
dollars is tall figure for sheep to
cost, but such is the amount q farmer
near Paris was recently made to pay.
Three years ago lamb escaped from
it's owners fields and mixed with the
flock of rich neighbor with whom
it's owner was not on the best of terms.
The neighbor, instead of returning the
lamb, kept it and had it branded with
his initials. A lawsuit followed in the
cantonal court, then the tribunal of
common pleas, the court of appeals and
finally in the court of casa ton. The
real owner won the case, the appellant
paying the costs to the amount of near
" $3,4OO.

CRYsTALL1ZED FRUITS.
They Form q Delightful Adjunct to
the HOusekecper's store Of
Holiday Daintles.

The manufacture of these sweet
meats is really quite simple matter,
coming easily within the capa bilities
of the ordinarily clever housewife,
while the expense of preparing them
is very small. Of the various fruits
best adapted to this purpose, peaches,
pears and plums, pineapples, cherries
and currants, are the most generally
used, and are prepared as follows:
Stone the peaches, plums, etc., by
making small incision in the side,
through which the seed is slipped,
pare and quarter the pears, and cut
the pineapple into slices half an inch
in thickness, across the fruit. Weigh
and allow an equal quantity of the
best white sugar, make rich sirup,
adding one small cup of water to
each pound of sugar. Boil for few
minutes, together, then add the fruit
and cook gently until clear, but un-
broken. Remove carefully on wire
strainer and let it stand about an
hour, or until perfectly cold, then
sprinkle literally with powdered sugar,
and stand the strainer on a dish in
a moderately warm oven for two
hours. At the expiration of that time
turn the fruit, sprinkle as before with
the sugar, repeating the process until
the juice has quite ceased to drip,
and the outside is dry and crystal
lized. It is then removed from the
oven and allowed to get perfectly
cold, before being packed away in
small boxes between layers of waxed
papers. Thus packed and stored
away in dry place, it will retain its
perfect condition for an indefinite
length of time, forming charming
adjunct to the housekeeper's store OF
'extras." 1t is perhaps necessary to
add a word of caution in regard to
overheating the oven, the exact
amount required being ascertained by
experimenting, since too great de-
gree of heat will most effectually
change a delicious sweetmeat into the
toughest of leather.-Good House
keeping.

his spare time driving the bird up and
down the street near his home.
Fred's rooster is the envy of his less
fortunate playmates. He has no
trouble in driving him in the street
unless trolley car comes along, and
then the rooster stops to look at it.
He won't take step until after the
car has passed. When Fred considers
that the bird has drawn the wagon
far enough at time he feeds him with
a piece of an apple. That makes the
bird willing for new start.
The rooster is kept in box stall in
Mr.. Perry's barn, and has shown no in
clination to leave his new quarters.
He crows when you ask him to, and
will do lots of tricks, such as "playing
dead'' and standing on one foot.-N.
