It reacts on the man himself. It induces Min to take rah interest In public ;.mat- ters .It bib/addle his influence, thorns - °es the force ,of his personality, and makes him more of •a aociai being. h Moat of the things -about which a ! speech taxi be made ate good things. Bad things ass a mile are put ,across by the gumshoe process. 1. You can make an address, for in- stance, on temperance; the making of drunkards is a sly and- voiceless busi- ness. You can speechify u.pon virtue, honor and Industry.; but nobqdy ever went to a public meeting to be helped along in vice, dishonor, and laziness. These things gnaw silently in the soul't back yard. i ' Learn how to address an audience. Learn how to think on your feet. Learn haw to make your. Ideals have a re- spectable farce when you utter them. A good deal depends upon natural ability, of course. Dist as a general thing too great a facility in words is fatal to effectiveness in. argument, Any one can learn to speakeconcisely. - 1 A. few 'hints may not come amid: Always keep your_aediance In naiad. Speak » in language you. `are sure they can understand. • • Speak loudly and distinctly enough so that the person in the iback seat can hear you. This is, however, not so much a, matter of speaking loodly as it is of knowing how t�. place -your voice and 'pronounce your words. Avoid raising the pitch of your voice. I Talk as low as you can. A high-pitched voice is trying to your' auditors; it indicates nervousness and irritation In you. By the way, ir you keep your voice low you (rarely get into a quarrel. Did you never notice how people'e voices gradually rise as they grow angry? Tadk low and keep peace in the family; talk low and. avoid contentions in busi- ness; talk .low and win an audience. Keep your .clain up. Don't address those In front row, but those in the rear of the room. • Open your month.; Don't be afraid to drop your jaw. Americans mumble and talk through (the nose. Observe Englishmen, who amok bet- ter than we. Don't imitate their sing- song, but ale imitate their broad, open- mouthed vowel., :Concentrate your whole effort' upon what you have to say and aimeto say it as plainly as possibl•e. Overcome self- consciousness.. To forget chse's self is to be .eloquent. Let your words be teree', short and strcrng... Shun long Latinized expres- .61°nz' Look Lk ,pleasant. Don't frown. Don't get a scalding, hectoring tone. Nobody minds being abused, even sworn At, if it's done good naturedly. Don't arouse the antagonism of your on these; .at egin audience. You agree with them on4orne paints. Talk with these -or not at all. Don't read a paper to an audience. Use as few notes as possible. Read- ing to an raudience is like eboating to them from behind .a stone wall. - Be concise, ,When you have made one point plain .go to the next. And when you have said all you had to say quit. Don't go tback and say it sever. And remember that heart, enthusi- asm, sincerity, earnestness all count more than head, logic, and sharp Cut- ting (syllogisms. , A knowledge of theart of public spealdng cannot .hurt ,You, and it rhay be of great advantage -to Jour car- acter as well as to your career. 0 . • Manitoba and Northwest Notes -Twenty thousand dollars damage was done by a fire which originated In . the post office, at Eyebrow, Sask., completely destroying that building, a jewelry store and a drug store and the telephone exchange.

Got 12,000 Letters ZA.M-BUK UNANIMOUSLY "- ENDORSED A prominent Woman's Journal re- cently asked its lady readers to give an opin on, ' ased on personal experi- ence,' of several widely known Cana- dian products. The publishers recent- ly wrote the proprietors of Zatn-Buk to the following effect:-" In connec- tion with onr competition, we have received n the neighborhood of 12,000 letters. We do not know of one in- stance where the proportion of satis- fied users of any product was so great as proved to be the case in regard to Zarn-Buk." Herein lies the proof of the superi- ority of Zam-Buk-the proof of exper- ience! No amount of advertsing, no (mere assertion on our part could create such unbounded confidence in Zarn-Buk as these Canadian house- wives have expressed. OnLy the plain straightforward test of Za,mBlik,in• the home could do this. Za,m-Buk is entirely different to all other ointments. Most ointments con- tain course animal fats. In some cases these fats clog up 'the pores of the skin and retard it action. Zam-Buka is purely herbal. Many ointments have no antiseptic properties, cannot ease the pain, and in fact cause pain when used. Zarre• • Buk, on she other hand, is antiseptic. As scon as applied to a wound or sore it kills the germs, thus banishing all risk of blood poisoo, and ends pain. Zana-Buk, unlike many ointments, contains nepoisonous coloring matter no harsh minerals.

The word 'used by the Latin historians and which is ordinarily called in English transla- tion "vinegar" is acetum. The question has been raised .by a European offleer whether- this is the true meaning of tbe original. He thinks that by acetum the historians intended to describe a substance resembling dy- namite ta its properties, and he invitee chemists to consider the question whether the ancients may not have possessed a thrmula for making a pow- erful explosive of this kind. He calls attention to» the fact that two ancient historians, Marcus Grae- .cus and Albert of Mk, speak of the ex- istence of two kinds of acetum, one of which possessed greater energy than the other.

A Picturesque Corps Whose Fame Be- came Worldwide. Among the most interesting classes of soldiers of modern times is the French corps called the zouaves, The nody of daring and picturesquely at- tired, warriors reached the height of Its fanie during the Criniean war. The eoutive corps at that time was sup- posed to consist of Frenchmen, but it • was in 'reality quite international, since it..4 ranks contabaed many daring young foreigners. In this aorps served many men from Oxford, Gottingen and other universities, and it is probable that the greater part of its members had joined more for the love of fighting than for love of country. Its fame as a fight - Mg body soon spread throughout the world. When our own war between theL states broke out several corps of sow lives. wearing the spletidid oriental uniforms of the French corps, or a modification of thena, were formed on both sides. On the Federal side the hest known was that corps command- ed by Elnier Ellsworth, a young officer from 'New York, the first man, it is said. to be killed on the Union side. In the Confederacy the most famous corps of zouaves was that called the' Louisiana Tigers. , While in American military life the zouave uniform has practicallyF peered, it still persists in France. - Exchange. ; Old Time Sea Food. A. glance at the fish shops today arouses the reflection that one could have fasted with far more variety In the middle ages. Where is now the whale of yesteryear that was- roasted and served on the spit or boiled with peas. the tongue and tail » being the choicest parts? The porpoise, too, was a royal dish, roasted whole and eaten with mustard, when Henry VII. was king, and so was the grampus or sea wolf. The lamprey, after its one dra- matic and regicidal performance, seems to have lost its popularity, and nobody nowadays is anxious to eat thea limpet Many fish, however, seem to have en- dured throughout the ages, such as the sprat and herring, eaten especially in Lent; the oyster (officially a h) and the anchovy, sternly anath a - Used by old Tobias Venner in 1620 as "food for drunkards." -London Stand- ard.

There they stay, struggling until they starve to death. These orchids are not considered in- sect eaters, but they undoubtedly draw a certain amount of nourishimint from therdecayed bodies of their insect prey. Many other flowers trap insects, which they kill and gradually digest as food. The Eagle.
