ASKING QUESTIONS. Cook's Cotton Root Conround
The Art of Interrogation Shoulet NO
Devoid of Imipertluence.
t'Do net ask questions" is the worst
piece of social advice which age enn
ts,eive to youth. A man wbo never asks
questions is the dullest fellovr in the
world. He had better leek too many
than toe few. We can defend ourselves
agaittat curiosity,but no armor avails
against indifference. We must resign
ourselves to be- bored to death.
What lirthe secret ,of the, art of In-
terrogation? Putting aside Oleic sym4
pathies. which Ile at the root of every
0°0'11 art, we believe the most essen-
tml
quality for those who would excel
in it is directness. The art: of atrial*

Is tbe ,only sato, rOtabIc

d influence is not the art Of beating
about the bush. The questions which
offend and silence are the questions
w.hich suggesit some ulterior motive, It
is infound out scheme which makes
men angry. Anything of the nature
of a trap keeps us on our 'guard, If
we once fall Into one we resolve it
shall be the last time- Suspicion kills
confidence. Interrogative hints are ut-
terly useless. The alferage man does
not disitke to be questioned. He bates
to be startled, crossed, interfered with,
reproached, wearied or betrayed. He
bates the questions which are no ask-
ed vrith e simple intention.
There are questlime which are asked
not bemuse the esker wants to know,
but because he intends to tell. Others,
while ostensibly directed to find out •a
wants opinion, are really intended to
reflect upon his character. Some men
inquire as to their neighbors' projects
in order to put difficulties in their way.
Strings a ineaningless questions ' re
poured out by those who desire to pe -
tend an interest In some subject wh ch
they neither know nor care anythfng
about.
We belleye the conclusion of the mat-
ter to be this: The art of interrogation
is a serious branch of the -social art.
Well asked questions are oi the essence
of agreeable Intercourse, but the in-
terrogative mood will not justify an
impertinence. an interference, a verbal
assault -nor,_ for the tnatter of that, a
bore.-Londeri Spectator.

Grace In Old _Forests.
Some trees are more graceful than
inhere. The elm andi oak are noted far
their perfect and graceful form. "AII
their branches appear to be perpetually
moving, stirred by every wind that
blow, and the same may be said of
the pine. The graceful movements of
ite limbs, the sighing sounds Of its
stems and evergreen needles, send forth
solemn symphony. Everything con-
tributes serene grace and simplicity to
old forests.

"She's very studious," said one wom-

"I'm"- answered the other.
"And doesn't seeta to care for gos-

ORIENTAL LANTERNS.
How They 'Are Made rind Uses to
• _ Which They Are Put.
The lantern of the east is as old as
civilization. its primary object is to
protect the flame from sudden drafts.
Beyond Me is the concentration of
light for the convenience of, a reader
and, last and least, the regard for beau-
ty. The oldest form is ir perforated
cylinder or rectangular box. Of this
type -there are numberless -varieties, ()Id
and new. The ancient ones -which have
. been preserved are of iron, copper and
- brass, nearly all simple in construction
and finish, but a few richly decorated,
Occasionally • one rims across lanterns
made of silver er Ivory. These cotne
• from piilaces 'orj temples and In most
nnstences are ri hlY carved. Not In-
frequently the tlerforations are fitted
With Pieeee of ecilored glass, rock crys-
tal, amethyst al garnet.
In China. and Japan the traveler's or
street lantern_ isi a feature. This is a
sphere or ellipsoid ranging from six
inches to two and even three feet in
.diameter, made of oiled paper, cloth or
silk. In Cathay this lantern is used to
show the rank of its owner by the col-
oring or "inscriptions ' on ite exterior.

splendent with his titles in colors, ,car-
ried by an ablebodied cooly who walks
a yard in advance.
, It is in house lanterns that the great-
est variety is found. Of these the gen-
eral type is a four, five, six, seven,
eight or ten felddd box, -whose length is
usually INVIen 118 Width: Each side is
a pane ef glass, plain, ground, frosted
or decorated. From the angles bang
. pendants of 'natty sorts. The fraMe-
work le usually of ten k, but ebony,
rosewood, Mahogany and other wood
are employed. Often the sides of the
lanterns are alternately wood and
glass, the latter being covered with
ground designs and the former richly
carved in relief or inset with ivory,
mother-of-pearl or aliven
. Upon tb pendants the artificers put
their hard st work. Some are made of
colored beir ds, strung and massed with
fantastic , ehapes and knots. Others
are strings of little bells, which ring
with every passing breeze. Lines of
glittering tinted glass ballbetray the
origin of a favorite mode of decorating
Christmas trees, Quaint objects in
gaudy enamel or colored porcelain, con-
nected by threads, chains or wires, con-
stitute . a fourth -and very pleasing
group. Floral festoons made of arti-
ficial flowers are popular especially
with the fair sex.
ANCIENT CITIES.
Jerusalem in the days of Solomon
probably dicl not contain 20,000 people.
C6listantinople at the time of its
greatest splendor adedatatal of the east-
ern .empire had a population of about
1,500,000.
Babylon, whose mune has come to be
synonymous with dense population,
never fled over 1,200„000 inhabitante in
its palmiest days, se the archmologiets
declare.
Athens, when she led the Greek
states in repelling the invasion of
Xeries,, had only 30,000 inhabitants,
but Herodetus speaks of this number
as if it was something to boast of.

MISSING WORDS,
Astnoying Gaps In English Law:moll*
That Cause Inconvenientees,
The English languege may fairly
claim to be the most prolific in the
Werld. Net content with its native
riches, it pessesses in a speeial degree
the faculty of assimilating everything
useful front other tongues, ancient and
modern. it ought Weed to be the
most perfeet vehicle of thpuglit in the
world, and in some respeets no doubt
It is.
But, curiously enough, there are de-
ficiencies iniEnglIsh norto be found. in
far less copious languages. While in
many ease S We have half a dozen
words expressing the same or prac-
tically the mune thing, tbere are, on
the other hand, eertain ideas that have
no apprOpriate -words to express them,
In the words denoting relationship
some notable gaps are found. The
most glaring instance Is the want. of a
word to distinguisb between a• male
and female cousin. Other languages,
such as French and Italian, ha-ve a sep-
arate word for each, but In English
some addition or explanation is in-
quired in order to make it clear whieh
sex is intended,
Curious 'gaps oecur here and there in
our language if we look into it. The
word "show" expresses the Idea of
making to see, but there is no word for
making to hear -a phonograph, for ex-
ample. "1 took the phonograph to my
fiend and"- What? "Got him to
lieten to would probably be the in-
elegant finish to the sentence.
On the other Winn, "audience -means
those who -bear and applies very well
to those present In a lecture hell or con-
cert room. • But what of those who' see
a dicket match, for instance? "Spec-
tators" is the nearest word, but it does
not correspond exactly to "audienee.'r
There is one deficiency in the lan-
guage so awkward and irritating that
even at this late hour it ought to be
made good, Need it be said that refer-
ence is made to indiscriminate use of
- the personal pronoun to denote either
the person speaking or the :person
spoken of? This may not be a *feet
peculiar to English, bot it Is ono frpm
which the Ancient classical tongues are
entirely free.
"He said- be had offered hitn Money,
which he bad declined," would be qufte
eompreheneible tither in Greek or Lat-
in, but in Unglisb it necessitates a num-
ber of bracketed explanations which
are positively annoying and destructive
of grace and fluency. -London An -

GENTLEMAN BURGLAR.
ne Can Exist Only- In Fiction, Never
In Real Life.
Whenever anhief 'who is dress.eantin
&wise thatin pap falls into the Po-
lice net there are chronicled the adven-
tures of a ngentiernan burglar."
Such a being -is, of course, impossi-
ble. He is a literary creation, like the
"Invisible Man," the Frankenstein
monster, Kipling's Mowgli and the rest
of the creW of prodigies that dwen
within boollcovers.
As a char cter in fiction the "gentle-
man burglar" could be made plausible
and picturetque, for when we get Into
the realm of fancy there is an implied
contract that the reader shall accept
the author's premises and not bother
about Possibilities.
A burglar is just a thief -about the
meanest of thieves..
To a man endowed with qualities of
refinement and consideratien of oth-
ere sine honor -which are the PIM -
hates of a gentleman -burglary or other
theft le inepoeeible, The pride of eneh
a man, hie regard for his own opinion
of b12islf would prevent hie went
Ing info another nian'e home and iek-
tog his plate or hie Wife's' jewelry.
Then it hetet be reirleMbertairthet the
burglar is vinuired to do murder to
neeemplieh blst rohbetiee„ and tee Weft
a si gerelemen committing nitrate for
f.c,fi 111 15 too intentistent even for fic-
tion.
A "gentleman burglar" Is a contra-
dietion of terma like a brave eoWard
or a tail pygmy. He may be better
divorce' or his booty may be larger than
that of ;nest burglars, but wben it is
all summed up be is a thief -just a
ploin thief -with the moral code and
impulses of a pickpocket or a card
strindier or any other predatory crea-
ture whose natant! Immo is a -prison
and whose deserved and fitting rai-
ment is a suit of stripes.
She Got the Wool.
"A young American girl, on her first
trip to Italy, entered a shop in search
of black darning wool," says a writer
In Hatper's Bazar, 'She spoke no Ital-
ian,- the clerk spoke no English. She
pantomimed derning a hole and point-
ed lo her stocking. The clerk brought
white darnine dotton. She showed
that ber stockleg Was black, and black
darning coffee was produced. But be
wanted wool. A long pause, then
bleated/ the American girl. She
got the wool,"
A Natural Mistake,
"I wes just telling our friend here,
Molly; that it was storming on the day
of our marriage."
"Surely not, /Pram! The weather
was perfectly lovely!"
"Well, well! r don't know how I got
to mixed up about it -probably beetles°
-it's been storming ever since!"
She Knew Her Dad,
Smithers-Do you knew any one /vim
has a borse to sell? t
`She -Yes; I suspect old Brown has,
firnithers-Why
nhe-Well, papa sold him one yesten
day. -London Punch,
