Sianificance Of Small Talk.
pougIps Storv hi the Smart Sci

Ato SSSly ~ AN oiAAa- y rt
1t may be that the philosopher that
wrote silence is golden was justified
of his writing; but in society speech is
the only currency. Small talk is the
small change of everyday existence. 1t
smooths ones walk through life. makes
introductions easy, bespeaks the conf
dence of men, opens the way to the
hearts of women It buys the interest
of those who otherwise would remain
apart. Just as the chance shilling
iudiciously applied will secur for the
mean nan the reputation of generosity,
SO the proper phrase glibly inserted
will gain for the mediocre mind the
merit of intelligence. No man an af-
ford to ravel without a pocketful of
bakshish-smau coin to lubricate the
joints of ~iistless servants. No man
may dare to enter society without a
store of ready conversation--topical OBJ
servatjons which insure the attention
of laggard listeners. Neither title nor
wealth nor genius will avail aught if
speak easily upon those subjects that
most interest society. Talk Is the
~rinkgeld of social intercourse.
But, just as the copper coin of ones
desultory charity must bear the stamp
of the country in which it is dispensed,
so must ones table talk be suited to the
society in which it is passed. The same
ili' "Ni NC "hSNS III
Paris which in London would be
deemed banal, in Berlin frivolous, in
New York irrelevant. One must fit
ones conversation to ones company as
one would adapt ones clothes Or ones
language.
The provincial speaks to interest him
self, the cosmopolitan talks to interest
his neighbor. The more perfect the
culture of any society. the wilder will
be the range of topics included in its
small talk. It is an %unfailirg standard
whereby to measure the refinement Of
q people. Society is known by it's small
talk. The man of the village shrinks
from the table talk Of the rural COM
munity, its petty details of COWS, and
grass, and harvests. The man of the
town shuns the chatter Of the village,
the gossip Of the parson and the judge.
The citizen shrugS his shoulders at the
municipal politics of the townsman and
the metropolitan abhors the business
interests of the man of the city of fac
tories. The wilder the horizon, the more
general the conversation.

GREAT MUSIC FESTIVAL
Voices Will Make Sioux City
Event Notable.

Sioux City, Ia, is already making
great preparations for its annual mu-
sic festival, and an extensive array of
artists has been engaged for this event.
The series is to include three grand
concerts, to be given at the New Grand
heater May 80 and "a. The famous
Theodore Thomas orchestra has been
secured for concert work at each of the
three programs. The mere name of the
Thomas orchestra is, in itself, a guar
antce Of the very finest along orchestra
lines, ana Will undoubtedly prove to
be a great attraction to hundreds of
music lovers throughout this section
of the country.
The organization, in its appearance
in the Sioux City festival, will be COM
prised of fifty-five players, the same
membership as in the Chicago con-
certS. Each man an artist in his par
ti"ular line. Frederick A. Stock, the
regular conductor of the orchestra, will
lead at this time, and his reputation of
the past few years has placed him
among the best leaders of the country.
The music forces of college and city
circles, forming q festival chorus Of
over 20O voices, Il the largest organ
ization of its kind in the state of Iowa,
will sing MendelSsohn's great oratorio,
"%I.lijan," assisted by the entire Thomas
orchestra n soloiStS. The chorus
has been doing magnificent work this
year and this concert promises to be
one OF the greatest eVer given in the
northwest. Mr.. Stock will lead the or
~hestra concert, while MIR. Mather will
conduct at the "Elijah' performance.
The s]oloists are as follows: Madame
Charlotte Maconda, soprano, New
York; Mrs. Hannah Butler. soprano,
ChicaGO: Miss Grace Munson, con-

USING DIPS ON SHEEP.

There are something like twenty-five
different sheep dips on the market and
most If not all of them are reliable. AS is
the case with many other things that are
manufactured carefully, as they must be
to retain their reputation, these dips are
to be preferred to the mixture made at

purpose to boom advertised articles, but
the fact remains that most if not all of the
recognized dips offered by manufac.,,re rs
do not harm the wool while the lime and
sulphur dip, as prepared at home. gener-
ally does. Again, competition has reduced
the price of the manufactured dips so that
they arc quite as cheap as the home mix

will generally be effective. In dipping
