The Art of PLEASING.

Somebody said it is better to be
beautiful than to be good. But it is
certainly better to be good than to be
ugly. 1T is better to be charming. A
woman cannot charm because she
wants to. A man is not agreeable be-
cause he sets out to be. Quite the re-
verse In effort is failure. The prop
er effect must, like repartee, be spon-
taneous and unprecedented. 1t must
be radiated naturally, like light and
love. Books there are that pretend
TO tell how it is done They do quite
as competently as grasshoppers teach
entomology, Edgar Salters declares in
the Delineator, that the ability to
charm, to be agreeable, to entertain
perfectly, and to be perfectly enter

cupidity and commerciaIlsn.

Some one down in West Virginia
has plowed up tomahawk which evi.
IDENTITY had been carried to that To-
cality away back in the seventeen
hundreds by savages who went there
from other localities and cleaned out
their aboriginal enemy. The point
OF interest in the matter is that the
weapon was not of Indian origin. but
was of steel, and of such finished
workmanship that it came from Eng
land, at that time the worlds center
OF steel working. 1t goes to prove
that the red man, even in that early
DAY, obtained much of his material
from the white man. But this. re.
marks the Troy Times, is not spe-
cially surprising revelation When
was there time when cupidity did
not overcome occasionally the i'm
pulses of humanity? There is more
than suspicion that many an Indian
war In the wild west was made pos
sible because INSCRIPTIONS white
men supplied the warriors with rifles
and ammunition. AS to turning an
honest penny out of the heather, did
not Massachusetts ship Medford rum
IN the same vessels that carried mis-
sioparies and Bibles to Africa, and do
not British manufacturers turn out
big invoices of little pagan gods for
the Hindoo market?
