TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE,
The Amount of Harm Done Not to be
Calculated.
TParis Visitor.

FarlS flSlIOr.J
One Of the wisest old ladies L ever
knew once made the remark: "My
dear, never, if you can help it, talk
about peoplel there are plenty of things
to talk aboIt. Let people alonel"
The advice was good, The amount
of harm dole by such talk is moi to be
calculated. The mere careless repeat
ing conversation often leads to great
mischief. For one thing, it is very
difficult to repeat conversation cor
rectly. Tue addition or the leaving
out of word, nay, even the chang Q
OF tone or emphasis, may make all the
difference in the meaning Of sentence.
For example: A certain excellent
Bishop once used words like these, 81

What matters whether man be black
or red, or white, so long as we can do

declaration was afterwards used to

SOME HEALTH MAXIMS

York City.
Health must be earned; it seldom

For the poor the cheapest fuel is
food, exercise and pure air.
A moist cellar is more dangerous
than wet cellar.
Patients or the sunny side Of hos

Decaying vegetable matter is much
more poisonous than decaying animal
matter.
Wooden is, in climate, the best
undergarment duriI J the most OF the
year.
Open your win low at night. Night
air is seldom, if ever, so poisonous a.,

TELEPATHY'S AWFUL MESSAGE.

A dispatch from Cleveland, o., says:
In the midst Of song ct Trinity Con-
gressional church Monday night Mrs.
A. A. Langdon, a noted baritone singer,
stopped suddenly and left the plat
form, with tears streaming down her
face. She was assisted to the dressing
room by her husband, where she burst
out into hysterical crying. Some
thing awful has happened" she cried.
Her husband tried to soothe her and
to assure her there was nothing wrong,
but she was unable to resume her
singing. She was taken to her hotel
In carriage. and there she received a
telegram from Asheville, N. c., an
nouncing the death of her sister. Mrs.

TELEPHONE EAvESDROPPING.

1t isa common failing Of human
nature to take too much interest in
other peoples affairs, and curiosity
sometimes extends 80 far that one
person will listen to q conversation
between two others when they are all
on the same telephone line. The
growing use Of the telephone 10 the
rural districts opens the way to new
form of housekeeping. 1t is difficult
to indulge in this practice without
detection, however. The Electrical
Review tells the following story:
A man in Ohio has been made by his
neighbors to pay fine OF $25 for
eaveslropping over the telephone.
Some time ago tia farmers Of a certain
town organized a telephone company
and installed their instrumt nts on the
party principale, by which arrangement
all the bells on the circuit ring when
call is made. After while the sub
scribers became aware that someone
listened to thelr telephone converse
tions, and they determined to find cut
who the eavesdropper wos. 1t was,
however, entirely by accident that the
culprit was discovered. One afternoon
week or two ago two Of the farmerI
were talking over the line when the
unmistaksble sound Of transmittsr
being removed from its hook reached
them. Instantly they ceased their
conversation. and in the momentary
silence that followed both distinctly
heard the sharp. clear chime OF clock
striking the hour. The clock In ques-
ton had q chime whose peculiar tone
when struck was familiar to both mon,
who at once knew who the listener
was.

STROLLING MINSTRELs.

Written for The GAzETTE.)
A mournful medley in the air
Came waited up an alley
Thro' which ! rode to evening prayer
10 worship down the valley.
The melody entranced my ear,
So solemn, yet so airy,
And made me wish to pause and hear
And to the end to tarry.
Coming upon group ere long,
I found some MINISTRIES playing
The instruments, if not the song.
An Old World source betraying.
The strollers were Turkish tan,
Had bagpipes quaint and simple,
An l had a slmian from Soudan,
That any face would dimple.
A wizzened thing indie ed it was
The monkey decked in scarlet,
Which moved obediently as
An Oriental varlet.
Along with every quavering tone
It acted, danced and vaulted,
Catching its tiny fez, when thrown,
And seemed at times exalted.
In al the mia-road yagrant scene
Above the winding valley,
Proud was the leaders voice and mien
The tagging zeal to rally.
Diverted? Yes, but much instead
There was to make me ponder;--
To see an ape so trained, indeed
My smiling changed to wonder.
The dusky crowds of lockers on,
(Such gypsy bands are drawing),
Run Ger with fun each mothers son,
Their fee paid in guAawing.
The pipers' last was "Home, Sweet,
Home"
Which make me sentimental,
And doubtless they, as on they roam,
Think oft OF scenes parental.
Poor Migrants in foreign land
pity them, and sorrow
That they drift on 50 careless, and
And yet may die tomorrow.
I thand Thee, Father, for the grace
To me, unworthy given
That raised me to a nobler place
With promise sure Of heaven.
