GREAT DEBATES.

The great addresses recently made in
the senate by Messrs. Knox. Spooner,
Bailey. Foraker. Dolliver, Ttllman ana
others on the railway rate regulation bill
show that the era of powerful orators and
debaters in congress has not ended When
the issue is large enough the debaters and
the orators appear. When William M.
Evarts was in the senate he remarked
one time to the writer; Great speeches
are only made on great occasions. They
were made I'm crises like those attending
the questions OF slavery, notification, Sc
cession. reconstruction, protection and
honest currency. They cannot be made
on ordinary questions" Evarts, a great
orator himself. was correct in this judg-
ment.-Ieslie's Weekly.

TAPERING FINGERS.

French women have always taken great
pride in tapering finger tips, apd to TINS
,s nrobably due the invention of little de-
vices for training them in the way they
should go. They are little things, like
steel thimbles, and are lined with sott
felt. There are different sizes for the
various fingers. and these are adjusted
nv messing them to the desired size.
