DUE TO GIFT OF SPEECH.
Many and Various Are the benefits"
Says Writer in. Puck.

The gift of speech is the last proof
Of divine favor, in virtue Of which
mankind has the rest of the animal
kingdom faded, and stands in class
by himself. Some beasts are stronger
than men, and some know more, but
no beast can be such a bore as man,
nor can any beast slop over, in the
true sense of the term. These dis
tinctions we owe to the gift of speech.
The gift of speech, moreover, lays US
under compulsion to read a great
many things which otherwise we
would not, in order that when we
have nothing to say, we may never
theless say something. Thus we pro.
mote the publishing business, create
demand for wood-pulp, assist in the
deforestatson of the earth's surface,
stir up new school of kickers, in.
crease discomfort and contribute, at
length, to progress and petulance. Our
ancestors used to consider speech a
means of concealing thought, but we
have nothing to conceai.-Puck.

The Coward In Us All.

One little sentence written by V. v.
V. in the Sphere stabs one rather
poignantly. II am a coward at heart -
There are things that a man suspects
about himself but does not say, says
a writer in the London Chronicle. For
example, you may see man grinning
when he is accused of being a cynic,
but one has not heard a nan saying
calmly and seriously, II am bit of a
snob." Snobbism is not vice for
the public confessional. You may &C.
cuse a man of being "Lothario" and
he will be pleased. If you call him a
coward-it is a challenge. Yet there
is always the swapping point. And v.
V. V. shows his courage in confessing
the universal failure Of civilized man,
II am a coward at heart"
