Through the third tube, inclosed be- tween the other two,• the liquid sul- phur, dissolved by the water, rises to the surface under the combined influ- ence of the pressure of the column of water and the impulsion of the rising air. • The liquid sulphur is led into g.00den reservoirs, where it cools and kardens.-Exchange.

The Art of Talking Well. If you quote a brilliant or clever re- mark of another person, always tell who said it. Do not wear stolen jew- els of conversation. They wIlI but make your own paste look 'duller. Avoid saying the obvious thing which has been said by hundreds before you. "I cannot remember names, but I never forget a face" -how many times do people make that remark as if it bad never been said before, as if they were unique in that respect, whereas the .remark was probably made by Adam, •. "1 don't mind theecold, but it's the datupness;" "It never rains but it pours;" "Every dog should have his day;" "Which do you like better, Longfellow or Whittier?" "I think man and woman are each dependent on the other;" "11 rich people are extrava- gant, it puts the money into circula- tion," is the style or conversation that will cause people to flee your presence as they would the stagnant pool. Never turn your readiness of thought and speech to a hurtful use. Do not put a drop of poison in the cup of cold water you hand to the world. IS you do, you will have to drink it yourself some day. It is almost impossible in these days of universal torture from the labor problem to observe the old rule of not talking "about your servants, but 11 you find yourself drifting in that direc- tion lift yourself out of it. Throw it aside witb some humorous posit of view regarding it, and all men will call you blessed. Avoid sill references to your own peculiarities of taste, manner or thought. If you have any marked idiosyncra- sies, all your friends know it, and nei- ther your own defense nor condemna- tion of your peculiarities will change the opinions of other people regarding them. Neither will your own opinion of them make them either more or less pleasing than they naturally are, If you are in a thoroughly healthy men, tal state, you will not be conscious of having any peculiarities, nor, indeed, will you have any. When you are in conversation with one person, do not let your thoughts or gaze wander to some more interests ing person or'group. There is far too much of that form Of rudeness. It is the habit that =narks the social climber, a fear lest he or she may not be getting the best of every- thing, Ancestry book.

"What strikes me most in Switzer- land is the baby coach," said a trav- eler, "Other people are struck there by the huge cow bells, by the wood- carvings, by the stupendous white Alps, but it is the baby coach that takes my eye, On every road, on every path,,you see baby coaches.

Drop in at the elty hall and you will hear torrents of eloquence, not about the future position of the city, not about the bringing in of large bet- terments, but about a broken sewer or water pipe. Forty-two members; ten English-speaking, thirty-two born ora- tors; ten silent and ineffectual crea- tures who might as well be at home for all they can do or say. The slight- est provocation brings out all the re- sources of the tongue of Moliere. The vehemence, the declamation, the mag- netism which )nark the rhetoric, might well be applied to a profound question, say, of national policy.It is really all about the town pum. The eloquence does not make clean' or wide streets; it does not give us more parks and playgrounds; it does not construct noble boulevards in the newer portions of the city which will soon embrace the Island of Montreal. It does not, in a word, spell salvation, but it gives color to drabness, and drabness is the general experience. A difference of race, of tongue, of creed may have complementary ad- vantages and compensations, but it has been found rather difficult to real- ize them. A homogeneous people would elect men to carry out their will. A dual people, split in two, elects the men who answer best to sectional appeal. Hence you have two voices, two counsels, and a policy which pulls in opposite directions. Hence, too, you are lacking in united public sentiment, which is the only coercive force you can apply to any sort of government. The results are seen, An over- whelming majority enforces its ideas. A helpless minority looks on, with the privilege of paying taxes. The minority loses heart and interest. It sees wrong things which it cannot check. It notes extravagances for which it will have to pay. It goes on 1iv'ng: it proceeds to make money; it builds itself lordly mansions, it may be; but it holds itself aloof from the current of affairs: This is not to mend, but to make worse' the situa- tion. But this is an old story. Commercially and industrially, Montreal is supreme in the Dominion. The men who direct the activities which give employment to scores of thnnsends of people are, by their di- rections, hard-headedness,• and mod- ernity, in curious contrast to that other city within a city which refuses to recognize the twentie'h century. Men like Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, Mr, C. M. Hays, Sir Willian Van Horne, Sir George Drummond, Sir William Macdonald Mr. R. B. Angus, Sir Robert Reid, give the city its ener- getic, its progressive character, while McGill University supplies that fear- lessness of teaching which is of such inestimable value to theadtiority in this province. Why Smoke Was White. A good story book, something after the style of Fosh Billings, could be written about the questions that are asked the captain of a passenger boat and the humorous replies generally given by him. One time a large passenger boat on Lake Ontario, the runiata, was steaming out of port, and quite natur- ally the firemen were hard at work "firing up," and so the smoke -stack was pouring forth immense clouds of think, black smoke. The sister ship, The Tionesta, was just entering the port we had left and was smoking very little, since it . had almost "docked." A wonian who hail been standing near the bridge, noticed these facts, and seemed to be at aloss for a solu- tion of them; so she turned to the cap- tain and asked the reason why the smoke of our boat was black and that of the sister ship was white. The cap- tain, after a moment's hesitation, re- plied in his usual obliging manner: "Madam, the reason for that par- ticular phenomenon is that the coal on the Tionesta is all placed in a large tank and washed before it is used for firing purposes." Which Would You Rather Be? If an editor makes a mistake he has �+ to apologize for it, but if a doctor l makes a mistake he buries it.
