' TRICKS of orators.
Use of the Actor’s Art to Make Their
Worde More Effective.
Great orators have not scrupled
to use the arts of the actor to pro
duce their effects. Lord Brougham,
while protesting against the rejec
tion of the reform bill by the house
of lords, cried out, “I implore you
upon my knees!” kneeling before
them on the woolsack, upon which
the lord chancellor sits when presid
ing in the house of lords.
Sheridan, having finished his fa
mous speech in the trial of Warren
Hastings, sank back apparently
fainting in the arms of his friends.
Edmund Burke, at the end of a
speech upon the atrocities which
might be expected from the French
in ease of an invasion, drew forth
an enormous two edged dagger and
exclaiming, “This is the weapon
which will be pointed at your throats
and mine!” dashed it on the floor
with a tragic gesture.
Shortly after Lord Cairns, speak
ing against Burke, who was suspect
ed of having amassed his wealth dis
honestly, exclaimed, “And this is
the weapon which is used with fatal
effect against you and me!” drag
ging out with Burke’s gesture a five
pound note. As every one looked to
see him dash it on the floor he
quietly folded it and put it in his
pocket.
One of the most notea criminal
lawyers of this country, while plead
ing the cause of his client, was in
variably so overcome by his inno
cence and wrongs that his voice
would fail, his utterance would be
come choked, and he would sob so
that he would be obliged to sit to
recover himself.
“I should think,” said a judge to
him one day, “that the jury would
understand your little drama by
this time.”
“Ah, your honor forgets,” said
the lawyer, his eyes twinkling, “that
there is always a new jury before
whom I play.”
Bismarck held a profound con
tempt not only for such tricks of
oratory, but for oratory itself. “It
is but the gloss that hides the
truth,” he would say. “Your elo
quent fellow is like a woman who
has a naturally fine figure and who
screws it into stays and covers it
with tasteless finery.”—Washington
Star.
Wanted Uniformity.
Colonel G. is a tine commander,
but not a musician, lie sent for the
chief musician of his regimental
band one day and delivered this
scathing criticism:
“I notice a lack of uniformity,
about the band which must be regu
lated. Yesterday morning they were
out on parade, and the largest man
in the band was playing a little bit
of an instrument—flute or some?
thing of the kind—and you had the
big drum played by a small man.
That sort of thing doesn’t look well
and must be attended to. I want
the small men to play small instru
ments, and the big men the big in
struments. And another thing, I
want the trombone players to slide
their instruments in and out in uni
son. It annoys me to see them all
out of step with their hands.”—
Everybody’s.
Taken Literally.
Little Dave was detected by his
father in the act of stealing from
one of his little playmates.
The father, not believing in cor
poral punishment, concluded to try
a moral lecture.
After pointing out the wrong of
such an act, he said:
“Always bear in mind, my boy,
that these temptations can be re
sisted if you turn a deaf ear to
them.”
Dave’s lips trembled as he re
plied:
“But, father, what can I do? I
ain’t got a deaf ear.”—Lippincott’s.
Only a Matter of Who Lo«t the Money.
One day in a Kentucky court Torn
Marshall was using some violent
language, and the judge, after one
or two reprimands, fined him $10
for contempt. Mr. Marshall looked
at the judge with a smile and asked
where lie was to get the money.
“Borrow it of a friend,” replied
the court.
“Well,” answered Mr. Marshall,
“you are the best friend I have, will
you lend me the money ?”
“Mr. Clerk,” said the judge hasti
ly, “remit that fine. The state is
as able to lose it as I am.”
What la Sound7
The natural question, “What is
sound?” opens up a world of mys
tery and of delight to those that
like that sort of thing. Anything
that sets up vibrations in the air,
where there is an car to receive
them, makes a noise. An alarm
clock in a vacuum jar may whir
ever so busily, but it makes no noise.
There must be air or there is no
sound, and there must be an ear to
carry the vibrations to the brain or
there is no noise.—Delineator.

the “Minnie” lode mining claim.
Said claim is situated and lies in
the Valdez Recording Precinct,
Territory of Alaska, about six

370, in the office of the United
States Commissioner for the Val
dez Recording Precinct at Val
dez, Alaska, to which book and
page reference is hereby made for
a more particular description of
said claim. Said expenditure was
made for the purpose of holding
possessory right and title to said
mining claim under the provis
ions of Section twenty-three hun
dred and twenty-four of the Re
vised Statutes of the United
States and the amendments there
to, providing for the annual la
bor upon mining claims, said

ed pursuant to the provisions of
