The person who falls, instead of starting the next sentence, has to pay a forfeit. ‘When to Speak Loudly. There are times when loud speak- ing is needed, and so often the very persons who would shout if not un- | derstood, will speak low when they should speak loud and distinctly. You will notice this at meetings, where some woman has a report to give, or minutes to read. She speaks so low, that those who are close by, are the only ones who hear. She should think of the roomful of people, either s deaf persons, or all at a distance, d then she might be heard, for she ould, or she should anyway, raise her voice. Children who shout and scream when at play, speak so low when they recite at school or to entertaln a com- pany, that you wonder where they can have stored their usually shrill voices. You would suppose that they couldn’t talk more loudly without an effort. But let them start to play, and their voices come back as if by and the mothers have to be ing them to “stop talking so .

The Sun, Saturn and Neptune are all adverse. Under this planetary government, routine trade and commerce should be profitable, and there is to be, ap- parently, a great expansion of our mercantile interests. Judges are subject to a most promising rule, making for promotions and honors. It is well not to attempt to find employment while the sun is in evil aspect, and for this reason it is wise not to risk any big prospects.

At the beginning of the year it was prognosticated that much fraud and dishonesty would be uncovered in politics and the seers foretell sen- sations in many cities. Again there may be controversies regarding ofl and oil interests. There is a menacing sign, astrologers say, for new promoters and investors. Neptune appears to prespge added uses for ofl and its products, but the seers reiterate their prophesy that new products will compete with those now so necessary to modern life. Next month the aspects may be most_favorable for New York, Rio de Janelro, Singapore and Cape Town, astrologers foretell. Chicago and the Middle West are to fare bet- ter through the Winter months than the Eastern and Western States.

Eagerly Helen watched every move- ment of the operator. The cuticle had grown over the white halfmoons that add such charm to the well groomed hand and the skin around each nail was calloused and yellowish. The nails themselves were bruised, as was evident from many little white spots, and underneath told a tale of neglect. “Do you use the point of a regular nail file to clean your nails, madam?” To that Helen nodded. Very properly she was horrified. “Oh .". . my dear Madame—you must {never use a sharp instrument.

Mark Twain would never wear pa- jamas. but clung affectionately to the old-fashioned nightsown. He would make out-of-town visits in evening dress and next day walk about the strects in this costume, the curiousness of which was enhanced by wearing rubbers over bedroom Slip- pers. He loved bedroom slippers and wore them whenever it was possible, and often when they looked decidedly out of place. He had always a relish for personal effect, which expressed itself in_the white suit of complete serge which he wore in his last years, and in the Oxford gown which he put on_for every possible occasion, and sald he would like to wear all the time. In conversation he would fly sud- denly out of a calm, quiet mood into a mood of tremendous animation. In these moments of Intense cxcitement, which often happened when he was at table, he would leave his place and walk up and down the room, flying his napkin, which served him for making emphatic gestures, and talk- ing and talking. He loved the English excessively; was full of praise for everything Eng- lish—the English personal independ- ence and public spirit and hospitality and truth. He loved to tell stories in proof of thelr virtues, and made a little anthology for personal use of tales calculated to produce admiration for England and its people. Strangely enough, he cared little for fiction, and there were certain authors whose names he seemed not so much to pronounce #s to spew out of his mouth. Oliver Goldsmith and Jane Austen were two of these. He loathed the theater, and said he would as soon do a sum as follow a plot on the stage. He abhorred slavery, and held him- self respoasible for the wrong which the white gace had done the black \ RES THE FAMOUS | race in slavery; and he explained, in paying the way of a negro student through Yale, that he was doing it as his part of the reparation due from every white man to every black man. He said that he had never seen this student, nor ever wished to see him or to know his name. It was quite enough that he was a negro. He smoked continuously, drank golng to bed and frequently wore bed- room slippers to the opera, although he was in evening dress. BY D. C. PEATTIE. Puff Balls.
