There are many rules to be observed, but they are all simple, and easy to remember. First, you must know what to talk about. The following fules Will help you: 1 Choose a subject which interests you, If it interests you it will prob- ably interest your audience. - 2. Talk about things of which you have some special knowledge, for then you are sure to tell your audience something new and interesting. Next you must know How to talk. 1. Talk modestly. Otherwise you will annoy your hearers by your self- assumed superiority. 2. Talk cheerfully and hopefully. Otherwise you will depress your | friends; and they will wish' to 'be rid of you, 3. Speak charitably or you will be- come a mere Scandal mohger--a per- son to be avoided: ; Sie. Show "an. interest in your. subject by your voice and manner. Interest is infectious, and your audience will soon catch the infection. The rules about when to talk are all "Don'ts." a A RE 1. Don't talk to a person who is tired and wishes to rest. Don't talk to a person who is reading. Don't talk to anyone who has something bet- ter to do than to listen to you, 2. Don't talk if 'you yourself are tired or depressed; for then your com- 'versation will be dull and depressing. 8. Don't be afraid that if you remain oir silent your friends will think you dull 8 $5 he German polis, but i he ward of & German would i. : even if half a dozen of 'us y2 he the impudence /to contradict him.

In any case it is better to be passively 'dull than actively boring. 4. Don't hold forth if there are more interesting persons present. Try to draw them out By asking them ques- tions, and showing an interest in them. You must also know how to select your audience; . that is, to whom you should talk. Therefore: 1. Talk to the person who is most likely to be interested in your conver- sation. 2. It you are a man you should pre- ferably address your conversation to a woman, and vice-versa. -Men and women have a different outlook. A man's view of life will often be new and interesting to a woman, when it will' séem obvious and commonplace toa man. .3. Avoid talking about your work to a man who is engaged in the same business as yourself. Don't talk shop. they On the other hahd, your work may he supremely interesting to a man en- gaged in some other business. These rules may not make you a brilliant conversationalist, for that re- quires special gifts, but if you fellow A | them you will never bore your friends, and they will always be glad to listen The Way of Peace.

Letting the sun shine for a given time upon the blackened cover of a box filled with water or some other liquid, and noting the rise in tempera- ture, affords us a method of approxi- mating the amount of heat given off by the sun. By such a method it is estimated that the earth receives every second from the sun enough heat to raise 600,000,000 tons of ice water to the boiling point, or to melt 480,000,000 tons of ice without change in temperature. If this'is the amount that the earth receives, think of the amount that must be passing off into space and other planets, This amount has been computed to be 2,200,000,000 times as great as that which the earth receives. Scientists have shown that the amount. of heat received by us from the sun may vary as much as five per cent. in less than a week. ------ Ask for Minard's and take no other. ee eens "Queer Titles of Books. Have you ever thought that writers may some day run out of titles for books? There is no need for alarm; there will be titles almost as long as there are stories--perhaps longer. Here are a few titles of books pub- lished in Cromwell's time, and they 'are almost as odd as they are long: The. TRAVEL BY FLOWERY WAYS. -- he .. There aré many who believe that all big corporations and industrial con- cerns. only look to the material side of things and work machine-like for the production of wealth, regardless of th¢ winter's snow and unheeding of the summer's bloom. This is often an erroneous idea, for it is gemerally realized that man does not altogether live by offices and pens and papers and engines and other accoutrements of labor--he requires trees and shrubs and flowers and the loveliness of nature, The Canadian Pacific Railway has always paid considerable attention to the development of garden plots along its lines. It is just thirty years ago since a C.P.R, employee raised a few varieties of flower seeds in his own his friends in the service of the com- pany, with the object pf promoting flower gardening at the various sta- tion plots of the railway. A vast ad- vance has been made since then; and now the company possesses a Floral Department with headquarters at 'Windsor Street Station, Montreal, and a Floral Committee which embraces members from the Eastern and West- ern lines. It is under the guidance of this department that the various sta- tion 'plots and other properties of the company are cleared up and beaunti- fied. 'Thousands of packages of flower seeds, bulbs, trees, and shrubs, and large quantities of grass seeds and fertilizers have been distributed dur- ing the 'lagt few years to station agents, section foremen, caretakers of round houses, and gll employees liv- ing on the property of 'the company. Travgllers' on .the line observe the happy results achieved. The cultiva- tion work is done in all cases by the employees themselves, who in most cages acquired the art of amateur gar- dening by taking their lessons from leaflets issued by the Floral Depart- ment. The best material is always provided. Amongst the varieties of trees supplied are: MapTs, birch, beech, poplar and catalpa. Some of the shrubs are: weigelia, berberries, laurel leaf willow and sumac. Peren- nials distributed are: Oriental pop- piés, iris, phlox, veronica, gaillardia, larkspur, columbine, sweet william, and pinks. Bedding plants used in- clude: geraniums, coleus, cannas, pan- sies, asters, verbenas, petunias, and castor oil plants. Standard seed pack- etd sent out contain: Nasturtiums, alyssum, mignonette, sweet peas, phlox and kochia, Ferns and house plants are given to the larger sta- tions. The establishment and main- tenance of the gardens and selection of the seeds, bulbs, and plahts are supervised by Mr. B. M. Winnegar, forester of the company. The encouraging influence of flower growing on the C.P.R. during the last thirty years has in a' large measure assisted in the inauguration of floral bsocieties all over the country. There are hundreds of C.P.R. officials con- nected with these societies, and most of them received their first lesson in flower culture at the C.P.R. flower . . Flowers have improved the railway stations, and inspired by the beauty of the stations, residents of the towns have planted flowers and improved the appearances of their homes. In every division of the C.P.R. | prizes are given every year for the 2 best displays, and many of these ama- teur railway gardeners have tried ' | their products with success against all comers at the Canadian and American flower exhibitions. a A Better a little risk of frost after | planting corn than a lot" of risk as gitie_sop approaches Wmgturisy.

Obviously. As illustrating the matter-of-fact way in which the average British blue- Jacket looks at things, Admiral Ty- whitt relates how he was one day questioning a batch of them as to their accomplishments, "Which of you men can swin?" he asked. "I can, sir," said one. "Good?" answered Tywhitt. "Where did you learn?" "Why--er--in the water, sir," came the unexpected reply from the rather mystified bluejacket. No Need For Haste. ..The minister of a parish in Scotland was walking one misty night through a street in the village when he fell in- to a deep hole. After vainly trying to make his escape from the uncom- fortable position, he began to shout for help. A 'laborer, passing, heard his cries and, looking down, asked who he was. The minister told him and at the same time evinced much agitation. The laborer, however, took the situa- tion in a very philisiphical manner and remarked: "Wee! weel, ye needna kick up sie: a noise. Ye'll no be needed afore Sawbath, an' this is only Wednesday nicht." He Understood. The aeroplane banked and looped and volplaned, and then climbed till almost beyond the gaze of the spec- tators. Then a gasp broke from. the crowd. It was falling! Down, down it came, over and over, twisting and swerving, until it appeared about to strike the earth. Then it suddenly righted, and flew away. "Ha, ha!" laughed the aviator. "See that? "Ninety per cent. of those people thought we were going to crash." "Well," said his passenger faintly, "fifty per cent. of the crew thought the same!" Fate Was Against Him. "lI guess I'm about the unluckiest fellow alive," asserted the long, nar row, mournful looking individual. "What seems to be the trouble?" in- quired his sympathetic companion, or- dering something consoling for them both. "I'm jest naturally unlucky--Fate's got it in for me. I'll leave it to you if a guy deserves this kinder luck. A year ago I gits tired o' livin' in board- in' houses an' T ups an' gets married. Now fer a home an' goodby boarding house vittles, say I.
