What Not 10 Saw.

An article by Bertha Gaus in
the New Idea Woman's Magazine
for January takes up the polite art
of conversation from a negative
point of view. The "don'ts"
enumerated by the writer for those
wishing to be good takers, are
Don't tell long stories of personal
experiences. Don't ask trifing
questions. Don't air your preju-
dices. Don't talk of melancholy
or gruesome matters. Don't speak
in low, mOnotonous tone. Don t
ride conversation too hard. Don t
hinder the story by trying to be
too accurate over details. Don't 90
back and add appendices toa subject
after you have left it. Don't run
one story into another. Don't stop
a discussion by the clinching use
of proyerb. Don't make poiut
of always agreeing with a speaker.
Don't harp too long on one string.
Don't affect astilted style" After
discussing these prohibitions to
takers at some length the writer
concludes: Still, it must be CON
fessed that there are people who
are constitutionally incapable of
following out these rules, and who,
in spite of all their violations, are
interesting people. They have
native strength and make their
rules of self-expression. They are
the stuff out of which novelists
make character representations.
In real life, as in books, they add
to the gaiety of nations. But they
are not exemplars of the art of
conversation, which requires har-
monious balance in all the give-and-
take of conversational exchange. -

INSECT SUGGESTIONS.

The Koran says all flies shall perish
with the exception of one, the bee fly.
1t is regarded as a death warning in
Germany to hear cricket's cry in the
night
The Tapuya Indians Of South Ameri-
ca assert that the devil assumes the
shape Of a fly.
The grasshoppers are said to fore
warn people in Germany of the visits
OF strange guests.
The Spaniards in the sixteenth cen
fury thought that spiders Indicated the
existence of gold wherever they were
in abundance.
Although sacred insect among the
Egyptians, the beetle receives little no
tice in folklore. 1t is unlucky in Eng-
land to kill one.
The ancients believed that there was
a close connection between bees and
the soul. An old Welsh tradition is
that bees came from paradise, leaving
the garden when man fell, but with
Gods blessing, so that the wax is nee
essary In the celebration of the mass.

he rally the Democracy sufficient
to winS
1t is not the faint-hearted who
will defeat Mr.. Bryan, if he is
nominated.
The defeat will come at the hands
of "the chosen few.
The COURIER urged in 1904 that
every man who took part in a pri-
mary or convention should be
bound to the nominee so made, and
we suggested that any man who
would bolt a nomination made by
his party should be forever barred
from again Participating in its coz
ventiOns.
That, however, interfered with
their Democratic "independence;H
the independence which knifes its
party's nominee.
We heartily agree that Mr.. Bryan
is a man of principle, a politician
of conviction and 4 gentleman of
unsullied integrity.
Weheartily supported him when
the present editor of the News-Item
was not so enthusiastic. We will
whole heartedly support him
again, if he is nominated; but we
very much fear that he will be de-
feated by the serpents within the
patty, who have received the
warmth of life at its breast, only
to sink their poisoned fangs into
Its body.

Famous Resting Place OF the Great
Dead OF France.

DEAD OF France.
In the center OF the most populous
and hardest working part OF Paris lies
Pere-la-Chaise. the city OF the dead.
All fetes OF the faubourg beat against
the walls OF this spot. which has its
own fete twice year. Within less than
a century this cemetery has become
the abode OF at least 10000 dead. II
formerly formed part OF the domains
OF the bishopric OF Paris under the
name Champ Leveque. Under Louis
XIV. II was known at Mont Louis. At
last, May 81. 1904. the Official opening
OF the new metropolis took place.
The white mausoleums among the
green trees remind the visitor OF an
oriental city. but IL Is estimated that In
twenty years there will not be space
enough for one lone dead man. A cal
culation has been made which would
point TO the fact that the sum OF $780,
100000 is represented In these last
sleeping places Of man. Even though
the French may not always be grateful
during the life OF their illustrIous chill
dren, there Is a mighty attempt after
death to prove appreciation. Among
the famous men who are today lying
calm and beloved in Pere-la- Chaise are
Rossini. Bellini. Chopin, members Of
the famous Carnot family, Moliere, Ia
Fontaine. Delacroix and Balzac.
Here the tomb of Heloise and Abe
lard is visited continually by large num-
bers OF pilgrims. and there is never an
end to the sentiment around the Gothic
monument rising from the bright hued
geraniums and roses. Notwithstanding
the iron railing. many n lover carries
from the hallowed spot a petal blown
across by the obliglng breeze. Except
for one section, where a considerable
number OF artists and authors, brothers
In beauty and inspiration, are grouped.
the tombs succeed each other without
much order. There is q single monu-
ment erected by the state to the SOL
diers killed in the siege of Paris.

A TOAST TO VIRGINIA.

The Reception Committee of the
jamestown Exposition Company
has been kept as busy as any other,
but its present duties are as moth
ing to the enormous work it must
handle when the celebration opens
In all its glory. The hundred and
one functions involved in the fit
ing reception of distinguished
guestsand visitors, theendlessseries
of ceremonies connected with the
various exposition fetes and other
events, to say nothing of the ban
quetsand semi-private Publications,
constitute in the aggregate from
liable contemplation. and one that
looms largein proportion as the time
draws on apace. Each and every
one of the occasions will call for
speech making, and toasts, and the
handling of the latter in a mastery
manner. This fact has come with
in the range of the Hon. Charles
T. Lassiter's observations and
desiring to assist the situation Mr..
Lassiter has submitted an original
Toast to Virginia" for the con-
sideration of the Exposition Off
Gals. The verse was published in
the Petersburg Index Appeal.
The author received his inspiration
from seeing, during a trip in North
Carolina, the we'll known toast
To the Old North State" printed
and framed and exposed for sale
in the stores of various towns
and cities. Desiring to make de-
parture from the usual stereotyped
conventionalities of discoures at
ceremonies involving addresses
of welcome at receptions and ban
quets, and aiming at the production
of toast to Virginia that will take
a leading place in the sentimental
and patriotic literature of this state,
Mr.. Lassiter proposed the follow
ing.
Here's to the Union, both in song and in
story,
May she never lack arms in defense of
her glory;
Here's to each star, which stands for
State
In our Union so strong, in our Nation So
great;
But here's to our Mother, it's no mere
opinion,
She gave away States from the Ancient
Dominion;
Here's to the birth place of Washington
and Lee;
The home of the brave and the land of
the free;
Here's TO the source of our purest emotion,
Here's TO Virginia-from mountains to
ocean.
Mr.. Lassiter's toast is full of
that quality of enthusiastic patriot
ism which appeals to gatherings
for which it is designd, and while
the sentiment is not wholly un-
familiar it will doubtless attain the
popularity its distinguished author
and its PATRIOTIC sentiments mart

why Dream. Com. IT,.

There is a scientific explanation Of
the fact that illness, at least, can be
foretold in dreams. The theory is that
when man is dreaming his mind is
more sensitive than in his waking
hours, for the simple reason that his
actual surroundings are not engaging
any OF the minds attention. Thus IT
happens that when some disease has
set In, the man awake does not feel IL

had a healthy young babe in her arms,
