Noted woman orntor.


Mrs William Nathan Of New York City
has achieved reputation as an after
dinner orator. rivaling the best efforts Of
man in that section.
Mrs Nathan has addressed three ma
tIonal meetings Of the Federation of Con-
sumers leagues, In Los Angeles, Mil
waukee and St Louis. She has addressed
womens meetings In London and Berlin,
and has received a gold medal from the
Liege exposition (Belgium) for her work
in social economics. She has been made
an honorary inspector of the Board of
Health and has the right to wear an in
spector's badge. One who takes great in
terest in her work is President Roosevelt,
who did much to assist her when he was
governor Of New York.
Mrs. Nathan never misses a chance to
speak about this hobby of hers, either be-
fore or after dinner And here is her
recipe for a good speech, from her own
lips:
Il can't speak I'm platitudes. / can't dis
. cuss u thing which everybody approves
some trite subject like Peace for ex-
ample. But when something arouses my
anger or my pique when ] hear something
not quite just or something not quite true;
when / hear something humorous; when
ny NoAhDoNANNhooS - eAAOdoN0-lAOh Il Cau
say something"
At recent banquet of both sexes Mrs
Nathan spoke gracefully, naturally, elo-
quently forciby. One moment she was
telling funny story; the next she was
gently grilling the men for their pompous
assumption Of superiority over her own
sex. Now she was pleading earnestly for
woman suffrage; again she recouuted the
good work done by women for Jerome
Heretofore, gentlemen" she said, with
gentle irony, I'VE have been permitted in
the galleries Of your banquet halls to lis
ten while men orators fiattered the women
and glorihed themselves. But you will OBJ
serve that tonight we are dining with you"
The banquet hall rang with cheers as
she started to take her seat
Don't stop!" cried the banqucters
More. more!"
WELL" said Mrs. Nathan, with a most
captivating smile, Il haven't made half as
good speech as am capable Of because
the speech is extemporaneous and I'm Ill
at ease for want of pair Of trousers
pockets to put my hands inP'
This made everybody laugh till they al
most cried Another speaker doubled over
with merriment and whispered to Mrs.
Nathan, Pm going to have my trousers
pockets sewed up the next time want to
DO in particularly good form"

DANGEROUS LIQUID.

A solid gold bottle stood on the
chemists table. I'm that bottle" he
said, my hydrofuoric acid Is kept.
Hydrofiuoric acid is used in glass
etching. The etching on glass ther-
mometers is all done with 1t. 1t Is
coIorless. II looks like water. But
a drop of it on your hand would bore
clean through to the other side like
a bullet. Its inhalation Is sure death.
"Hydrofluoric acid can be kept safe
ly in gold bottles alone. Sometimes
bottles of indiarubber, of lead or or
platinum are used. None OF these,
though, Is as safe as gold.
Even when this acid Is in gold
bottle precautions must be taken with
1t. 1t is volatile and hence a paraf-
fine covered plate must be clamped
tight over the bottles mouth. Also,
the temperature OF the room must
not rise over so degrees. or the gold
bottle will burst.
This acid. whose sole use is in
glass etching. is probably the most
dangerous thing In the world to work
with. The steeple-jack, the lion tam
er. the diver, even the Japanese and
Russian soldier do not take their lives
in their hands TO half the extent the
glass etcher does when. with his gold
vial of hydrohuoric acid, he etches
the scales of our thermometers. -
