tenant of Ireland the people Of Dublin
called the beautiful countess, one Of
the loveliest women Of her time,
sponsors Faerie Queene."
But when their excellencies were
about to return to England Irish gal
lantry was shown in characteristic
way. At the farewell banquet in their
honor an Irish gentleman who was
anxious to pay the beautiful countess
compliment got up and said, with
much fervor and many bows:
"We all hope soon to see you back
again, you and the work Of art by
your side"

Fighting The Frost

When the corn crop ia the Middle
West is thu eatened by drouth the
farmers and the town people must
live in suspense for two or three
weeks without the power to make a
single movement to ward off the
calamity. Ii they could go out into
the fields and let their anxiety ex-
pend itself in some work to bring
the Leedad moisture hundreds of
volunteers could be found in every
community for The service.
This makes it Easy for the y, ople
OF this region 20 under etand the
campaign made during the r, 9, NJ
frosts to save the fruit crop OF tie
Grand Junction district ~ G ,luraou.
Between two and three lhousan ]
boys and men f., ~ ali lines Of bust
ness aud professional act witty Ell
rolled themselves in an army al
defense, agreeing to go into the
orchards when called by day or
night. The railroads, the telephone
companies and the weather bureau
prepared to give warning of the APP
prOash of frost and to rush the
workers to the places where they
were needed. When the preliminary
notice came smudge pots ere pre-
pared all over the fruit belt, thirty
miles long and ten les wide.
Late on the second night the warn.
ing was sent out by telephone TO
light the pots. For week the fight
went on. One relay of workers
would keep the fires gong at IL ght
and In the morning another relay
would fill the pots with oil and pre-
pare to renew the fight at night.
An Office vas kept open at all times
ia Grand Junction where the most
remote orchardist could get expert
advice as 20 the time to start the
fires, how hot to keep the pots and
when they could be put out with
safety, The extent of this service
aud the general activity Of tie
region may be measured by the fat
that the telephone calls would run
up to several thousand each night.
When the cold wave disappeared ii
was announced that the crop worth
between two and three millions OF
dollars had been saved. 1t is be.
lieved that enough has been learnt d
about this new form of defense 10

will never again destroy the fruit

ART OF ORATORY.

Speech Making. Explicit Instructions for

BY Edwin Gordon Lawrence, Professor
Of Oratory. The A. S. Barnes Company,
Publishers, New York.
This book is q formal effort to un-
dertake the making Of orators from a
promiscuous lot OF aspirants. 1t is al
legged that speechmalsing is an art, and
that this art can be impaired to any
earnest student. The author has taken
pains TO make his explanations very
plain and simple, easy to follow. He
devotes good deal of attention to the
construction and analysis of speeches,
to their composition, TO their delivery !;
and gives examples of divisions Of q
speech, and of complete speeches. He
explains pulpit oratory, giving exam
Piles of it, and collects series of Sc
1ected speeches made by illustrions ora.
tors, none of the selections being from
orator Of the United States, two be.
ing by Canadians, and the others by
Briions. Doubtless those who have
taste and ability for speechmaking will
be helped by this book, but we doubt
very much the postula1e that oratory
can be perfected in any and all who
