Reading and Conversation.

An English critic AYERS that Amer
leans are poor takers. Mr. Howells,
in reply, remarks that "lack of con-
versation doesn't necessarily imply
lack of culture. Many cultured men
are silent men," He remarks that in
New England people read more than
they talk, whereas in the South peo-
pie are more prone to talk than to
read. That is generalization that
may or may not be accurate, though
it is made with amenity. But one
test of reading may be found in talk.
A book, if read with searching dis
elimination, should stimulate ideas
worth sharing or discussing with 9TH
ers. But readers of novels are likely
to become silently absorbed in a mar
rative and to ignore comment. Again,
it takes at least two to make CONVEX
sation, as well as quarrel. Perhaps
the English critic did not meet ap-
propriate Americans. 1t might also
be noted that other observers have
found the average Briton distinctly
taciturn, although he may thaw upon
acquaintance. 1t was Bacon's dictum,
in part, that reading makes full

THE SOCIAL BURDEN.
Evil Effects of Burning the Candle ut
Both Ends.

1t is not always dissipation that IS
meant by the phrase, the pace thaci
kills" Diversion that is morally in
nocuous may come in time to deplete
ones store of physical vitality and
nervous energy almost as seriously
as fragrant persistence in vicious
courses.
People who are "in society" may
pretend that they can turn night into
day, burning the candle at both ends
in their protracted festivities, with no
fear of the arrival of day of reck-
oning, but nature with severe impair
tiality arraigns at length not merely
the hardened roue or debauchee, but
the person whose recreation" has
been of an entirely innocent nature
and yet excessive in amount.
1t looks as though society" would
soon have to come to an understand
ing regarding the number of engage
ments its devotees are expected by
its unwritten laws to make and to
keep within twenty-four hours. So
cleties for the prevention of cruelty
have been formed, but what organi-
zation is there to prevent cruelty to
society? 1t is a real hardship to
many a business man, who has to
arise betimes in the morning. to be
compelled to stay up until the small
hours of the night in order to per-
form the function of escort home
from the opera or the ball The bril-
liant occasion itself obliterates for
the time being the anxieties of the
working day. but with "the chill gray
dawn of the morning after" the
breadwinner of the household finds
himself facing his clients or his asso-
ciates with his reservoir of vitality
depleted; he has to make a conscious
effort to keep wide awake in order to
meet the demands made upon his
shrewdest and most alert attention.
Even when it is not the captain of
Industry who is concerned, but the
lady of elegant leisure, whose hours
are regulated at her own sweet will,
1T is plain from the flourishing state
of the sanatoria for nervous invalids
that the normally constituted woman
can not be ION the go' incessantly
without grave danger of OVERRIDING
and having to do penance, if not in
sackcloth and ashes, at least with
matted milk and enforced seclusion.
The modern debutante has a really
formidable gauntlet to run, with all
the invitations her social position and
family traditions compel her to ac-
cept. The ordeal is not so much the
attendance at two or three balls in
as many days, with luncheons and
teas interspersed, as it is the newt
able preparation, making it neces-
sary to spend half of the waking
hours in consultation with modiste
and milliner. Surely society is wait
ing, eagerly expectant, for the forma-
tion of some sort of protective league
to make organized resistance against
further encroachment upon the twen-
ty-four hours of the night and the
day, which are at present wholly in
sufficient for both business and pleas

Diplomacy.

Down on the West Side there's a
longshore saloon where they set up a
huge schooner for five cents. When
6 o'clock blows the place is thronged
by the thirsty, fortifying themselves
for the long walk home.
One night huge Irisman in a red
flannel shirt, open at his brawny
chest and rolled up over swelling BIZ
ceps, stood in the crowd and tapped
his nickel on the bar. Just as the
barkeeper set out the schooner the
swing door burst open and a little
Irishman rushed in, flung his coat
on the floor, threw his hat beside it,
and, jumping on them, yelled in a
high voice quivering with rage:
Which one of yez beat up poor
Pat Murphy"

tapped his chest. ct was mel" he

A Mashington,s Birthday Party.

At Washington Birthday party
the guests should be arranged two by

should be a booming of business on
the part of the gentlemen, and the
ladies should bang their hair and

A cherry tree may be represented

the bark, and also delight the guests
when he leaves.
Hens should be in evidence be-

Advocates College Duels.

Professor C. L. Demuralt, the new
professor of electrical engineering of
the University of Michigan, advocates
duelling as college sport in place
of football. Though born in Brook
lyn he was educated in German
schools. He was famed as one of
the best swordsmen among students.
He says:
while there may be objections to
having a mans face SCARED, cannot
help but think it preferable to having
his arms and legs broken in football.
German duelling is fully as valuable
an educational feature as football,
and it presents the great advantage
of developing strong individuality and
reliance on ones personal strength,
feature not present in such degree
in football"

Cruelty to Beans.

A curious objection has been raised
by some anti-cruelty people against
Londoners playing with Mexican
jumping beans on warm plate. 1t
seems they draw ring around the
beans, and the owner of the first bean
to jump out of the circle wins she
money. Now, inside of each bean is
a maggot, and the idea of making
these helpless creatures hop and jump
of a warm plate is a form of cruelty,
and nothing warmer than the natural
warmth of the hand should be per-
mitted, say these kindly people
