RSATION.

Conversation is as old as time, but
like all else, it changes with the
times. Not many generations ago a
good conVersationalist was simply a
good monologist, and those who
cherish that ideal often lament the
decline of the art of conversation
The day of the brilliant talker, who
monopolizes the field, and reduces
other people to admiring nonentity, is
indeed past. 1t is now customary to
give your neighbor chance, but there
are still sinners who offend against
courtesy in that respect.
One of the worst is the talker who
improves the OCCASION and har-
argues you tirelessly on his pet
theories. If religion or morals be his
theme, he lectures you with ponder
Gus solemnity. Coed takers touch
serious themes lightly, although never
irreverently.
Long and intricate stories also
cast a gloom over conversation, as for
example, the life history of some per-
sons whom no one present knows or
cares about. Il knew a woman in
Tompkinsville," begins one of these
ardent analysts of chracter; and then
follows careful description of her
appearance, her ancestry, her peculiar
ways, her tastes, her virtues, and her
limitations. Her case might have been
amusing or instructive if sketched in
few lively sentences, but before the
narrator is done with her the listener
is willing that Tompkinsville and all
it's inhabitants should be wiped from
the face of the earth.
There are many other ways in
which a talker can offend, most of
which are well enough understood; the
duty of the listener has not been so
often pointed out. Whatever the prov
ocation may be, there is no excuse
for inattention or interruption 1t is
astonishing how little courtesy in this
matter is shown by persons otherwise
well-bred. What if the demand upon
the listeners patience is severe? Be-
cause you are a bore, shall | be a
bore? The wandering eye, the mat
tentive manner, the irrelevant reply
all these are blameworthy, but inter
rupting is the cardinal SIM
An interruption has an actual ply
steal effect, like sudden check or
stumble in walking. In it's mental
effect it is still more annoying. If
your speech or story was of some
Importance, you are unwilling to have
it spoiled, and if it was unimportant,
you feel rebuked for triviality or
banality. Habitual interrupters will
break in upon anything, from a re-
mark about the weather to a proposal
of marriage. If any thing or person,
in the least unusual, engages their
Wandering attention, they will nudge
the person next to them or turn their
backs toward you in bland incivility;
if they have a sudden idea, they will
insist on talking you down.
A conversation should not be mere
battle Of words, in which one of the
combatants is driven off the field. 1t
should be a good-humored exchange
of ideas, carried on with interest and
sympathy on both sides, and above
all, with unselfish courtesy. This is
the conclusion of the whole matter;
Do not bore, but if necessary be bored,
and bear it CALAMITY.

SOME PosERs FOR MEN.

The Bulletin of the Missionaries of
La Salette" propounds five questions
which many would do well to put to
themselves:
Why is it that at ball game, a
prize-fght or the theatre men look for
the first seats, but at church pick out
the last?
Why is it that men insist on repre-
senting the women in politics, but ex-
pect the women to represent them at
religious services?
Why is it that when men live and
act according to their political views
they are consistent, but when they
practice their religion to the letter
they are narrow-minded?
Why do men disregard God. in their
prosperity, but blame Him in adver-
sity?
Why do men acknowledge the right
of lodge or a fraternity to issue by
laws, but deny the Church the right
to enact precepts2

PRAY FOR SINNERS.

Many are the human beings who de-
serve our pity and our prayers. The
sick and the suffering, the destitute
and the oppressed, the friendless and
the lonely, the widow and the orphan
all these have a right to look for our
sympathy and our help. Yet compared
with souls in state of mortal sin,
says Father Bearne, S. J., the condi-
ton of the most abjectly poor and
abandoned and that of the greatest
sufferers on earth are to be envied.
Some pious and devout folk who are
inclined to think and to talk little
too much about the state of their
souls, and to worry their directors con-
corning purely imaginary spiritual
diseases, would often greatly benefit
themselves and others if only they
would pray and do a little more pen
ance for poor sinners. 1t is pitiful
sometimes to see the callous indiffer-
ence of daily church-goers to the
spiritual needs of their relations and
friends and servants. 1t is deplorable
to see the SNUG satisfaction shown by
members of this or that guild or con-
fraternity, and their complete forget
fulness of the fact that whatever some
small pious association may be, the
Church of God is not little garden
walled around a sheltered spot for
the holding of anecdotical tea-parties,
but a world-embracing institution in
tended for the salvation of the masses,
as we'll as of the classes.
A man in mortal sin is in deadly
peril, and alas! very often he does
not know it. The binding power of
sin is one of it's most terrible conse-
quences. A sinner who habitually lives
in what has been called 'the House
of Pleasure whose gates are the five
senses, and whose walls are set close
to the river named Forgetfulness OF
Cod" is like Samson in prison-not
only bound and fettered but deprived
of his sight. No state can be so des-
perately pitiful His greatest need is
will tell you that he cannot pray.
Sometimes, as in the case of the
drunkard, he renders himself incapable
of praying In other cases he is like
a man sick unto death whose only
chance of recovering is to swallow a
certain food or medicine, but who de-
clarcs that this is the only one thing
he cannot do. you must take this,
or de-" says the doctor, and though
the initial difficulty of swallowing may
be very great, we know it is seldom
enough that patient refuses to make
the effort And in the same way, If
only the sinner will make the neces-
sary effort he can always pray and
become reconciled to his God.
Yes, the sinners need of help is
great. No contemplative order has
any need to justify it's right to exist
in spite of the thoughtless criticism
that sometimes falls from the lips of
tepid Catholics; but if it had, the fact
that in such orders prayer and
penance are constantly offered for
what we may dare to call our Blessed
Lords darling intention, would be
more than sufficient justification. May
God increase the number of con-
templative monks and nuns!

THROUGH THE HEART.
Love the Only Way Parents Can
Manage a Boy.

An anxious parent asks us why
boys are so much harder to manage
than girls? In reply, we may say we
have never found it so, but you must
get hold of the boys heart. Yonder
locomotive with it's laundering train
comes like a whirlwind down the
track, and a regiment of armed men
might seek to arrest it in vain. 1t
would simply crush them and plunge
UNDECIDED on.
But there is a little lever in its
mechanism that, at the pressure of a
mans hand, will slacken its speed
and in a moment or two bring it
painting and still, like a whipped
spaniel, at your feet. BY similar
little lever the steamship is guided
upon the sea in spite of adverse wind
or current.
That sensitive and responsive spot
by which boys life is controlled is
his heart. With your grasp gentle
and firm on that helm you may pilot
him whittier you will. Never doubt
that he has a heart. Bad and wilful
boys often have the tenderest hearts
hidden away somewhere beneath the
incrustations of sin, or behind barri-
cades of pride.
And it is your business to get at
that heart, keep hold of it by sym
pathy, trusting in him, manifestly
working only for his good. There
are many ways. Provide him some
little pleasure: now and then set him
to some little service of trust for

SMITH UNKIND TO

Former Belleville High Boy Big
Factor in Normal Schools
Basketball Victory.

It was an easy basketball victory
that the Normal School senior team
recorded over the Belleville High
School seniors, 43 to 27, at Belle
vile yesterday afternoon. The fea-
ture of the conflict was the goal
caging of Eddie Smith, of the Nor
NAL team, who dropped in nine field
baskets and six foul points. Smith
is q former Belleville high player
and It was due to his clever caginR
that the Normals downed his old
team mates. Dickinson at forward
for the home five was also a star.
He succeeded In scoring four field
goals and added nine points from the
free throw mark. At the conclu-
sion of the initial session the Nor
NAL School team held the upper hand
by "a to 13 In the curtain-raiser

administered defeat to the Normal
