Oratoricai Effects.

once heard Everett. whose plat
form oratory was the acme of Ameri-
can art. His language was unimpeach-
able. But his every word. and not
only his every word. but his every
gesture, was Enthusiastically prepared.
He seemed to gesticulate not only
with his hands. but with his legs. He
even planned scenic effects beforehan nd.
Having to deliver a Fourth of July
ration. he introduced veteran of
1912. put him in conspicuous place
and told the old man to rise to him
at his entrance into the hall. The old
man did as he had been hidden. Ev-
erett apostrophized him with 'Vener-
able old man. sit down! 1t is not for
you to rise to US. but for us to rise to
you" The veteran said afterward
''Mr. Everett is strange man. He
told me to rise when he came into the
hall, and when l did rise be told me to
sit down.''-From Goodwin Smiths

heIpino Him Out.

For years Squire Latham. OF whom
many amusing stories are told. was
resident of Bridgewater, Mass, and 1t
was while he was living there that the
incident occurred which is related be-
low. 1t illustrates his habitual GOODNESS
and whimsical temper.
He was awakened one night by his
wife. who told him she thought there
were burglars in the house. The squire

The burglar had unlocked the door
and was pulling it with all his might

THE FOG BUOY.
A Safeguard to Fleets Of Warships In
Thick Weather.

Probably the greatest menace to the
safety Of navigation at sea is the fog.
Modern stea mships are seldom endan-
gered by the most severe weather. but
when the impenetrable envelope Of
mist incloses n ship she is exposed to
the most terrible Of perils. collision
at sea. A single ship may be compar-
atively safe even In fog. but where
there is n feet Of vessels the danger
Is greatly multiplied. There is always
considerable danger. too, on account OF
the fact that many Of the ship lines
have what could be termed beaten
path across the ocean. and they al
ways follow this route when possible.
In addition to the customary fog
horns and sirens. a feet Of warships
often keep informed of their relative
positions by the firing Of signal guns
at intervals only few minutes apart.
Another method used is the fog buoy.
Each vessel in the fleet. especially II It

surface of the water. BY this means

ships of the feet is maintained. even
though proceeding at q moderate rate

The liottnino Rod.

Though Franklin will continue to
receive the honor that is his due as
the inventor Of the first practical light
ming rod. the study OF atmospheric
electricity goes back at least to the
time of TulIius Hostilius. who persisted
in an attempt to draw fire from the
sky" A learned priest of the name of
Divisch is said to have erected the
first lightning conductor in Europe.
He set it up ut Prendiz. Bohemia. in
1854. and it was 100 feet high. Though
the Emperor stephen and the Empress
Maria Theresa publicly proclaimed
their confidence in the inventor.
most disastrous drought that afflicted
the country a year later was ascribed
by the superstitious populace to the
newfangled device. and Divisch was
compelled to take it down. 1t is not
probable that Franklin was acQuaint-

Her Aetiatic Instinct.

The girl was a dainty thing in pink,
evidently n stranger in Boston. The
fellow had Harvard written all over
him. They were standing in the de-
livery room of the public library. and
he was explaining to her the deco
rations by Edwin Abbey which illus
trate the legend Of the Holy Grail.
AS he talked he glanced occasionally
at his fair listener and seemed pleased
to find her apparently lost In rapture.
Finally. when his stock Of knowledge
was exhausted. he exclaimed:
why. l never before knew that you
were so interested in art!'
For moment longer she continued
to gaze at the painting: then. with a
tremulous sigh, she turned to him
with:

pieces it would make II cut up into

BURTON DEFENDS
TAFT IN SPEECH
Upholds Presidents Right to
Work and Talk for the
Reciprocity Bill.

Washington, D. c., July 6-The
right of President Taft to negotiate
the Canadian reciprocity agreement, to
send it in completed form TO congress
for enactment and TO defend aud ad-
vocate it in stump speeches" through
out the country was asserted in the
senate Wednesday by Senator Burton
of Ohio
Mr. Burton's speech followed criti-
cism by Senator Cummins of Iowa ear
iier in the day of the talk made by
President Taft Tuesday at Indianapo-
lis. The Iowan said he believed it
was better for the President to try to
mold public opinion by appealing to
the people in speeches than for him to
use the power of his office to pass the
bill through congress; but he criticized
vigorously the Indianapolis speech, in
which the President said the Canadian
agreement probably would not reduce
the cost CT living.
Defends Course Of President.
Some degree of censure has been
visited on the administration for send
ing in this agreement" said Mr.. Bur-
ton 1T is the clear right OF the
President under the constitution to
make communications and recommen-
dations to congress It also is his
right to express, on the stump, in
whatever terms he may choose, his ad-
vocacy of a certain line OF policy.
Not only President Taft, but his
predecessor and other presidents, have
made free to advocate, with no uncer-
tain sound, national policies recon-
mended by them in messages. Other
wise the President would neither be
the leader of his party nor occupy that
place in the public attention which the
public demands of him.
"Of course it is for the senate or
the house to accept, reject, or amend
any proposition that he may send to
congress. l think, however, we over
look numerous instances in which bills
or completed laws have been sent to
congress by the President or men,
bers of his cabinet and passed prac-
tically without change. Secretary
Chase, in a special session called July
4. 1861, sent in a complete tariff law
which was accepted almost verbatim
by congress and become a law without
delay"
Mr.. Burton urged that the agree
ment, notwithstanding the power OF
congress to change it, be passed with
out amendment He said it undOUbt-
eddy did not please everybody, and
that it probably had satisfied neither
President Taft nor the Canadian COM
missioners when it was completed.
But it is here said the Ohioan,
land | strongly urge that it be adopt
ed without change. 1t is different from
other legislation. Consultations must
be had at long range. Any modifica-
ton makes situation now delicate
more intricate and liable of failure"
Mr.. Burton emphasized that those
who based their objections to the
agreement on the ground that the
farmer would suffer injury were vir-
tually fighting for higher duties for
the farmer. He said no injury to the
farmer could follow the removal of
duties on farm products, except in GER
tain localities along the border.

Old Age Of Oysters.

Oysters grow only during summer.
and especially during long. warm sum
mers at that. and are scarcely big
enough for the mouth before the third
year. 1t is easy after looking over a
bunch Of shells to tell how old an
oyster is. A summer hump and the
winter sink come across the shell
every year. but after the seventh or
tenth year full growth comes; then by
looking at the sinks between the
humps it is hard to tell anything more
about Miss Oysters age. Oysters east
~ live to be twenty years old.-New
