WoUNDiNG A FIRE.


An Odd Soperstiti0n That Dates lack
to Ancient Times.
A curious modern attempt to ration
alize ~ Of the Oldest of superstiti0ns
IS to be found In, Kipfng's "Life's
Handicap" There Mulvaney checks
the author from stirring the fire with
Ortheris' bayonet on the ground that
fire takes the heart out of the steel.
The real reason is much more mysteri-
Gus. 1t was one of the maxims Of
PythagOras mot to stir the fire with
a sword" and to this day the wander
ing tribes Of North America and Of
northeast Asia hold it a sin to take
up q burning ember for q pipe light
with the point of a knife. The ex-
PLANTATION Is undoubtedly given by 10
hannes de Plano -Carpini when he tells
US that n of the Tartar superstitiOns
concerns sticking q knife into the fire
or in any way touching the fire with
a. knife or even taking meat out of the
kettle with q knife or cutting near the
fire with an AZ, for they believe that
so the head Of the fire would be cut
or"
This is evidently connected with the
ancient idea that fire is . living crea-
ture, a sacred animal. which must not
be wounded by its human owners In
case it should be annoyed and deprive
them Of its valuable services. IL this
in any degree more irrational than the
belief still existent among ~h0usekeep-
ers that a feeble fre can be made to
burn up by laying the poker across 1t.

To be a good conversationalist you
must be spontaneous, bu0yant, natural,
sympathetic. and must have a spirit of

helpfulness and must enter heart and
soul into things which interest others.
You must get the attention of people
and hold 1t by interesting them. and
you can only interest them by a warm
sympathy-a real. friendly sympathy.
II you are cold. distant and unsympa-
thetic you cannot get their attention.
To be q good c0nversatiOnalist y0u
must be broad, tolerant. A narrow.
stingy soul never talks well. A man
who II always violating your n Of
taste. Of justice and Of fairness never
interests you. You lock tight all the
approaches to your inner self. every
avenue IL closed to him, and when they
are closed your magnetism and your
helpfulness are cut OF, and the o n
~versation is perfunctory. mechanical
and without life or feeling.
You must bring your listeners close
