Crosse Cold"
From the New York Mail.

From tine new 1ork MAIL
The victim Of rose cold' who objects to
the Evening Mails panegyric of the month
of June Is justified in his criticism-looking
at the matter from his own point of view.
One who Is afflicted with that direful COM
plant cannot be expected to see any beauty
in the season which infallibly brings 1t.
Rose cold is real thing, too. 1t is
doubtful If the roses really cause 1t, but
they may do 80 in individual instances,
while in other instances the pollen of an
other flower may be the culprit.
And in any case there must be. the doc
tors say. some kind OF nervous or neurotic
predispositfon. For our friend whose ad-
miration Of the month OF June Is over
thrown by his own aff1iction, we may offer
the consolation. based on good medical
authority. that 1t takes a considerable de-
gree Of intellectual development to make
one a victim of rose cold or any other form
of hay fever. Possibly the extent of the
afliction is measured by the intellectual ca
pacity Of the victim. II that is the case,
the harder our friend has the rose cold
the better satisfied he ought to be.

when he to speak. but no one. either in
the Senate OF out of it. ever laid more stress
upon the Importance of good delivery than
he, and few public speakers ever strove
harder to make their delivery perfect.
Mr.. Hoar worked days and days over MS
important addresses. and on one occasion.
al least. he spent hours before the glass in
his hotel room practicing his gestures, while
rolling the periods of the forthcoming big
talk off his tongue. Some one whose early
morning sleep was disturbed by the noise
of Mr.. Hoars rehearsal told the correspond
ents about It and they made and printed
great story out of it. Mr.. Hoar more
than embarrassed by the publication, but he
took ii good naturedly-he rarely got angry
about joke on himself.
No other man, in the writer's knowledge,
was ever able to learn his addresses so lot
ter perfect as the late Rev. DIR. Dewitt Tai
make. He used to sell his sermons in ad-
vance, to the newspapers all over the coun-
try. for publication Monday mornings
following delivery, and he had to furnish
copy three weeks in advance. Yet he used
to deliver them exactly printed, even to
the occasional apparent hesitation over the
choice of a word and the substitution of one
word for another
The writer knows this to be true, Tor
several occa sions he held copy on the
Brooklyn divine and never found any devia-
ton, even the slightest, therefrom.

The Names Of Flowers.
From st. Nicholas.

Who could guess that the dandelion was
the 'dent-de-lion." or lions tooth; the tulip
so called because 1t looks like a turban,
and tulip was another name for turban
The beautiful gladolus is a sword lily;
"gladiolus" in Latin means "a little
sword" 1t Is so called from the shape of
its leaves. The asphodel is from the Greek
word meaning 'kirg's spear" The name
daffodil comes from "asphodel" and so
means the same thing.
The columbine, geranium and larkspur
we think of together because they are all
named after birds-the dove, the crane and
the lark The meaning of geranium Is
cranes BILL" and II you notice the seed
pods of a geranium you will see that they
do look like the long bill of a crane. The
touch-me-not gets its name from a peculi-
arity of the seed pod. too but not q peculi-
arity of appearance. It is the pod you must
not touch. for If you DO 1t will burst and
out will fly the seeds.

McKinley's Method of Preparation.

He never wrote out a speech with his own
hand, If 1t was possible to get a stem
ographer to take his dictation Having got
the stenogra pher-he preferred a man. al
ways-McKinley would seat him in the mid
die of the room, so to have a clear path
all round him. Then, beginning. Mckinley
would dictate his sentences, slowly, delber-
ately and with the most extreme care
meanwhile circling slowly about the short
hand man. Often and agian he would stop
and correct himself, revising and polishing
as he went along, with the utmost pains
This he would continue for an hour some
times; sometimes for two.
When he had talked to the stenographer
as long as he felt disposed. he would leave
him and the matter would be carefully writ
ten out upon the typewriter
Some time the next day, generally but
often not for several days, the typewriter
copy would be taken in hand.
1t was then that McKinley's hardest work
Of speech preparation was done. He would
cut and revise. amplify. rearrange and in
terline. till the task would seem truly to be
a dstracting one. When finished he would
give the result to the typewriter, a mass of
mixed hand and typewriter sheets, to be
copied out clearly again. When that was
done Mckinley would call In two or three
friends and to them he would read the man
uscript in his very best style, not so much
to get their opinions as to the soundness of
It's doctrines to find out whether it was
quite clear and direct in composition and

Looking Glass Oratory.

There have been few more successful ora
tors than the late George Frisbie Hoar. and
to many 1t has seemed that his success as
a public speaker was due mainly to his
up.

lations.'
Other orators besides Reed have been
caught in similar traps by treacherous
memories, but this instance is probably the
most remarkable one on record of extrica-
tlon by means of extempore effort coupled
with intense and almost unconscious cere-
bration.
The late William Mckinley was hardly
rated high as an orator in his younger DAYS.
though his ability as a speaker began to be
fully realized before his death and his la st
speech, at Buffalo. will long be held I'D as
model or its sort, both in delivery and
composition. Its composition only can be
taken as a model, however for, alas, the
delivery Of the orator is like the art of the
actor; 1t lasts for the moment only and is
gone forever.
Mr.. McKfnleys preparation of his adj
dresses was most elaborate, and, while he
was pafnstaking to a degree with the com
position, he never sighted the delivery He
all had In small country courts, the subjects
of his early addresses, of course being the
petty disputes of his clients with their
neighbors and those with whom they did
business. Perhaps it was because of this
very circumstance that he learned when
still young to work up his addresses most
carefully.

patch wishes to add it's testimonial
to that Of the school board to the
efficiency of Major Francis II.
Smith, city superintendent OF
schools, and express the hope that
the State board may see fit to re-
appoint him.
Major Smith 10 a scholarly
gentleman, is thoroughly abreast
! Of the times in school work, and
is satisfied only with the best
| methods and results. Moreover,
without being or even approach.
ing u martinez, he is a successful
disciplinarian. He holds the con
fidence and respect of the public,
the teachers and the pupils,
combination that ought to exis,
always in such relations, but one
that it is difficult to find &C
smoothly adjusted as in the case
of Major Smith. This fact oughI
to be sufficient and we believe Il
| sufficient, to remove ali doubt OF
Major Smiths reelection without
opposition.
