Lawyers, clergymen and doctors all
fail to secure influence with the peo-
pie with whom they come in contact
because of inability tc express their
thoughts in an impressive way. Had
the voice been trained the same as the
eye and the intellect, had the exteri-
or qualities been trained to express
like the voice the best and the clear
est facts they would all have been
successful A noted revivalist who
screamed and yelled his thoughts In
the most vociferous way, disgusting
some and frightening others, wondered
why he did not make more profound
impression. The real fault was his
gormandizing habits and his discord-
ant bronchial and nasal tones. The
melodious voice of Henry Clay al
ways charmed his audience every
where. Wherever he went people
fiocked to hear him, while the heavy
bass tone of Daniel Webster failed
to attract, and actually drove people
away. They preferred to read what
he had to say, but wanted personally
to hear Clay's pleasing voice.-Medi-

BIBLE WILL BE READ AGAIN

Sure to Return.

correspondent complains Of q
poet who wrote of "Bathsheba," where
he had the Queen of Sheba" in mind.
and cries: Il wish there were some
power to compel people to read their
Bible"
Many persons will echo this wish,
for various reasons. The orthodox,
because they believe that the letter
of the Word contains all things neces-
sary for salvation. The great com
pany of educators, of every station and
degree, because many of them recog-
nize the vast influence for intelli-
gence. knowledge and culture which
flows from a familiarity with the
language Of the King James version of
the Scriptures. 1t would be easy to
lengthen the list Of those who wish
people could be compelled to read the
Bible"
Granting all the happy exceptions
Is pretty much vain hope at the mo-
ment. 1t is not improbable that after
the present generation of virtual illit-
crates in this country shall have grown
old In their lives of striving to stand
ardize mankind for utilitarian purposes
the pendulum will swing back again to-
ward the cultivation of intellectual
pursuits. and in any such frame of
public opinion consistent reading of
and listening to the Bible from child
hood to maturity will be sure to reap
pear. And then a generation will
grow UP again whose ears will always
be filed with the resonance of those
reverberating syllables of Scripture
which have subconsciously Influenced
and guided the thought and speech and
writing Of the more influential among
the leaders of opinion during the last
century.-New York Sun.

ONE PHASE OF MARRIED LIFE

To illustrate. you viii see ts fre-

1t is almost perpetual silence They

No common interest observed In fact.
1t looks as II they are mad at one an

man or woman looking on the couple
would be apt to say; 20, you married

But they are not mad. Let some
charming lady acquaintance come In
and sit down by the husband and he is
all smiles and has plenty to say. Then
he Is cordial companion He Is a

WHY SALMON SEEK RIVERS
French Professor Strongly Of Opinion
II Is Because There Is More
Oxygen There.

Louis Roule. a professor of the
Paris Natural History museum, claims
to have solved the important biologi-
cal problem as to why several species
of fish. such as salmon, migrate to
rivers at certain seasons OF the year
It had been thought previously that
salmon. instinctively driven near their
breeding season. seek conditions most
favorable for the survival of their
young. but Professor Roule afflrms
after study of the Brittany rivers
that the amount of oxygen in the
water is the determining factor in
their migrations. In the rivers where
the most oxygen is present in the
water will be found the greatest num-
Der Of fish
Professor Roule explains the neces-
sity of breathing a larger amount
among migrating than in the cases Of
other fish, and this being interfered
with greatly during the breeding sea-
son they therefore are impelled to
seek waters with the greatest amount
of oxygen. Thus, explains Professor,
Roule, all efforts to stock rivers with
migrating fish will be useless If the
water Is not highly oxygenated.

Getting Bid Of Bot Files.

The United States department of ag.
riculture has recently thoroughly test
ed very unusual cure for the disease
of horses called bots. Bots are the
larvae Of the horse bot fly, and live
In the stomachs of the horses. They
interfere with digestive processes to
such an extent as to cause loss of
flesh. generally poor condition, and
often death. Dislodging them is ex-
tremeiy difficult
In the treatment tested the horse
was fed little hay and oats in the
morning, and allowed to go without
food the rest of the day. In the eve
ming purgative was given. Next
morning the horse was given three
drains of carbon bisulphid in a gelatin
capsule three times at intervals of an
hour When the capsule reached the
horses stomach 1t dissolved; and the
carbon bisulphid, liquid that Is ex.
tremely volatile at the temperature
Of horses body, evaporated rapidly.
The gas suffocated the bots and other
parasites in the horses stomach with
out injuring the horse in the least.
The remedy was tried with complete
success on a large number of affected
animals

MADE HIS ENEMIES FAMOUS
Scotch Reviewers Are Known Now
Chiefly From Poet They
Mercilessly Abused.

One vivid impression left on tho
mind by the revival of the savage at
tacks by which Keats was assailed In
the Quarterly and Blackwood, is that
criticism has at least become urbane.
Apart from the rashly confident con.
tempt for what the world now recog-
nizes as great poetry, these early nine
teenth century reviewers cannot be
forgiven the brutality of their treat
ment of a young man whose only Of
fense had been to publish a book of
verse.
Fancy a critic nowadays taunting an
author with the fact that he had been
an apothecary, bidding him go back
to the shop" and at the same time
protesting that personal feeling to-
wards such person would be as out
of place as towards vermin. It is diff
ficult to understand how men who
wrote in this strain could be the ac-
cepted literary censors of any age
The fact is that behind this savage
violence and insensibility lurked ra,
cial prejudice.
1t was, as Byron recorded, case of
English Bards and Scotch Review
ers." The one thing that could not be
forgiven to John Keats was his cock
ney birth. Yet time has brought in its
revenges. A hundred years have gone;
and the only claim to remembrance of
these confident Scotch reviewers is
the curious interest that is reflected
on them by the immortal memory of
the poet whom they used so despite
fully.

M'NNLEY'S SKINNY PARTNER
Incident In Presidents Life Recalled
by Chum, Former Member
Of Congress.

William Mckinley was a school
teacher, toll bridge. tender and one
of the best shinny players in Ohio
when he and were boys together at
Miles," said Samuel Mcmillan, former
member of congress, at the New Will
lard, according to the Washington
Post.
Major McKinley's work as a school
teacher and toll gate tender were gra-
tuitous. however" continued Mr.. Nc
MILAN, for he taught school for Brose
Robinson when Brose was physically
incapacitated, and he and tended toll
for Mother McReady at the bridge
between Nilestown and Mineral Ridge,
the old lady being unable to perform
the work. Mckinley as a boy was
somewhat above us fellows and when
we played shinny-we never heard of
golf In those days-he insisted on
some of the boys looking after
ferocious bull and keeping him tn
corner on John Battles farm before
he got mixed up in game.
Il shall never forget an incident
showing McKinley's character. Fol-
lowing heavy rain the creek at Niles
got out Of bounds. and all the earthly
possessions Of Evan Evans went into
the stream. l decided to swim the
stream and rescue barrel of -four
and other possessions belonging to
Evans. but Mckinley objected.
Sam he said to me, risk your
life to save a life or principle, but
never put In jeopardy what God gave
you. to save property"
Mr.. Mcmillan said that Brose Rob-
tnson. who presided at the Niles
school. where he and Major Mckinley
received their early education, is still
alive, and is identified with the Rookie
feller interests at Cleveland.

AnaIo-saxon. Gel. and German.

The term "Anglo-Saxon" comes from
the fact that England was largely
settled, after the old Briton rule, by
the angles" and 'Gaxons" from Ger
many. The Saxols were, of course,
from Saxony, and the Angles took
their name from town near Sleswick
called Anglen. The Anglo-Saxons are,
therefore, of Germanic breed. 1t may
be said, In passing, that the Germans,
English, Americans of English ances-
try, Danes, Dutchmen, Swedes and
Norwegians are all of the same stock.
This Germanic stock (for it may very
appropriately be called such) now
numbers about 160.000,O0O in Germany,
Great Britain. the Scandinavian coun-
tries, Canada, Australia, South Africa
and the United States. There is no
other human stock that is anywhere SO
strong numerically.

"Of course, 1t is Interesting to be

the waiter had at last poured coffee

gone to such effort to make them
