"Straiahtn Talk Best.

When your words count you don't
need to use so many Of them. It's q
pleasure for some people to talk
Other men talk under protest and be-
come the best speakers because they
seek the shortest way to adequate ex-
preston. These men always get a
hearing because people know they will
get the facts without orations. And
this is as it should be. Every man
should be able to express himself. He
can learn if he is willing to make the
effort. It may scare him half to death
at first, but he will soon find pleasure
in seeing his ideas take action in
others. Whether you are a ready
talker or not you will profit much by
making your talk count.

Speech Should Be Worth While.

And when you have something to
say it's worth saying well. It's not
just that you say words. You must
say them so they attract and convince,
We all use pretty much the same
words but they sound so differently
from the mouths Of different people
There are books galore that are musty
with muse because what they say is
poorly said. If the thought had been
matured into small compass and told
in telling diction they should be popu.
lar works. And it's the same with
speech. Some men have good ideas,
but they take so long to tell them that
people get tired. Sometimes they even
get weary before the man begins to
speak. The world wants what you
know, but it isn't willing to waste time
listening to mere words.

DIED WITH LOVED BROTHER
Pretty Eastern Legend Concerning the
Affection and Loyalty Displayed by
Burmese Queen.

a legend concerning Mount Popa,
dealing with the time when the Bur-

Mahagiri. He possessed a sister of
great beauty who was commanded by
the king of Tagaung. to be brought be-
fore him, shortly afterward being chos-

infatuation brought jealousy among
the lesser queens, and they instituted

was charged with being traitor and
the king, in his terror, ordered the
blacksmith to be brought to Justice
and burned. The unhappy sister used
all her allurementS to save her broth

might be present at the burning. Dur
ing the ceremony, before hand could
be Outstretched to save her, she
jumped into the fire, and was burned
with her brother.
A few days after the burning the
spirits of the two victims were re-
ported in the form Of two mats" In
recognition of this, King Kyan-yit-

subjects should honor the spirits by

PATRON SAINT OF. MATTERS.
Why St. Clement Has Long Been Ac--
corded Recognition by Makers of
Head Coverings.

st. Clement is known as the patron
saint of hatters, because of his dis
covery for the making Of a compact
fabric out of wool without pressure
or weaving. The story goes that this
devOut priest, while on journey, be-
came fOOtsOre and tired, and, removing
his sandals, sought rest by the road
side.
St. Clement was soon disturbed by
the bleating of lambs. Looking up,
he beheld fox that had just seized
one of the helpless young sheep. He
cleared a hedge just in time to destroy
the fox and rescue the lamb, in the
process of which act he observed loose
wool, which he gathered and exam
med
The priest was struck by the sud-
den inspiration that here was relief
for his lacerated feet Binding the
yielding wool on his wounds, he was
able to continue his journey. On
reaching his destination st. Glenn
ent removed the sandals from his
feet, discovering instead of the fine
soft wool a piece of unfinished cloth,
seemingly so firm and thick that he
couldn't pull it apart. He called the
matted material felt"
This accidental knowledge of the
priest caused the basic principle that
underlies the mems hat industry.

Clements day and is red-letter day
for the hat manufacturers Of many
countries.

The Finger Nails History.

The rapidity of the growth of the
nails is indicative of the health. The
growth Of the nails on the right hand
is in most people more rapid than of
those on the left hand. Another curl
Gus point is that the rate of growth of
the nail depends directly on the length
of the finger; thus the nails on the two
middle fingers of men grow more rap
idly than those on the first and third
fingers respectively, and these in turn
are more speedy in the growth than
those on the little finger.

The First Congress.

The first congress was supposed to
meet on March 4, 1889, and it is a
curious fact that there was not a
quorum of either house present for
q month thereafter. Only eight sena-
tors were present On March 4, and they
adjourned from day to day until April
6, when a quorum was present. Only
u members of the house assembled
on March 4, and a quorum was not
present until April l. The COnstitu-
ton Of the United States took effect
in the following states: Delaware,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia,
Connecticut Massachusetts, Maryland
South Carolina, New Hampshire, Vir-
ginia and New York, on March 4,

American sculptor, completed in 1913.
Five replicas are said to have been
made by the artist the first of which
was sold to Captain Grant and taken
to England, and is now in the gal

second copy is now in the Corcoran

Mnemonic for Grams

Scientific papers are getting to use
the metric system of weights and
measures more and more, and it has
become almost necessary for every one
to be able to convert such terms, as
grams into ounces at once. 1t is not
however, easy to remember that there
are 2S.35 grams in an ounce. How
ever, if one remembers the sentence,
sit converts one ounce" the figures
will instantly recur to the mind. For
the number of letters in each word
gives 1855.
Mnemonics for other terms Of the
metric system are needed.

Close to Perpetual Motion.

The nearest approach to perpetual
motion was a clock constructed in
MA by James Cox, a jeWeler at Shoe
lane, London. This clock kept the
scientific world guessing for years.
The energy that made it run was de-
rived from the changes in atmospheric
pressure-a barometer was the sole
motive power. Ferguson, the scien-
fist, saw this clock; said it unques-
tionably would run until it's parts
wore out. The last heard of it, it
had been sent as a gift to the Chinese
emperor, from whom it later was
stolen.
