St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1902-01-11


A reader of one of our exchanges
asks the following question, to
which is added good answer:
Are tact and sincerity com.
patable? Ny chum is very popular
because che has the art of making
agreeable speeches, but half the
time she doesn't mean them
.'1'act means touch. Sincere
means transparent. One may be
tactiul-that IS, quick to feel and
respond to the feelings of others,
therefore sympathetic-and at the
same time be above deceit. The
habit of saying pleasant things is
praiseworthy, and there is not the
slightest necessity of their being
untrue. As a rule, the people one
meets are good aud kind, and there
is much opportunity for beng nice
to them. Look for the best IN
friends, and cultivate the accom-.
pl,shment of pralslng it. She who
says d,sagreeable things needlessly,
even If they are true. is a social
guerrilla.

The art Of properly bu,toning .
coat-any GOALS, do it the othe1
way, says Chat. That is to say
that nine out of every ten of III
button our coats the wrong way; We
commence with the topmost button,
when we should commence with
the bottom one. The frallest por.
ton of . coat, in respect to shape
retaining qualities-no matter how
we'll madc-is the region of collar
and lapels. The swagger mer-
chant tailor always cautions his
customer to ''wear it buttoned a
few days so that the collar may set
properly" Then, this admitted,
1t follows that tugs and strains af.
fecting this part of the garment
tend to destroy its symmetry.
Drawing the coat together by the
top button and buttonhole for the
purpose Of fastening. exerts q pull
around the shoulders and neck re-
g,ou, which. BY repetition, in time
will give the snartest coat a hang
dog appearance.

Mt. O'KeIly asked whether Lyneh was
not entitled to the same treatment as
the brrghers. The Speaker replied that
that was q question OF argument. not OF
law.
Mr.. John Redmond. leader Of the Irish
party. asked the Speaker whether It was
intended by the government TO extend
to Lynch the same terms Of surrender
as. were conceded to the Dutch rebels IN
Cape Colony. The Speaker ruled the
question out of order. but said ne would
consider ii if notice of it were given
in the usual way.
Mr.. MacNen added to the gayety OF
nations by solc.nnly asking what pro
visions. if any. had been made in the
nature OF assurances or guarantees OF
coed faith FOR the observance by She
British Government Of the conditions
on which peace had been secured in tbs
TransvaaI and the Orange River Colony
