The successful master of small talk
may not be a genius usually Is not
bnt he Is possessed of an address and
tact that the true son of genius might
well envy. A man or a woman who
cu enter a social party possessed l
tho. dumb devils of awkwardness a d
restraint and loosen the tongue of
the company, ami keep a social glow
and continued conversation over the
Utile trivial but important nothings
that usually furnish the themes of
snch occasions, i a great social bene,
factor. And what a really difficult mat
ter it f to guido an evening's conver
sation and keep it in a current of
thought away fro it the shoals of go.
sii on the one sido. and the rocks of
poliiics and religion on the other. In
a mixed company of men and women
how much is cmt traced under the two
terms gossip and politics. If two
snch feeders of talk as these are elim.
inatcd fro n the company's supply of
sulj.M ts, thcro U really not much left
as a common ground upon which tho
party can meet in the social arena.
And yet the dictates of good taste
relegate all such themes to afternoon
alls between ladies, and to tho street
d offline conversation of men.
Conversation, then, in all social par
ties being limited to such a contracted
range the accomplished small-talker is
an acquirement positively essential to
all such gatherings, and the art of
small talk is one that ambitions men
and accomplished women should not
despise. Though there is an ill-disguised
contempt among the masculine
sex for the male small-talker, vet. in
the economy . f social life, he is toler
ated as a necessary eviL This esti
mate is uianifes-iy an unjust one.
The man who can make a diwnmt
j, of small themes interesting certainly
performs as d fflcult a feat as one who
icanshi ie under the inspiration of a
I largo theme. The latter has his theme

We knew it would come. The an

paper coffin has been invented and
put upon the market A man may
now build his houBe of paper, eat
his dinner from paper plates, wipe
his face on a paper handkership, buy
his wife a paper piano and go to his
grave in a paper coffin. The coffin
may be paid for with a piece of pa

other piece. There are few things

"I'm going to get married," said
a young traveling man to a bachelor
friend.
"Indeed. Well, I wish you much
joy, and I trust that you realize the
responsibility you are about to un
dertake." Yes sir; I think I realize the re
sponsibility. I have settled down,
and changed my habits very much.'
"That's right. Spend your even
ings at home and read good solid
book 3."
'What would you recommend?"
"I think -Paradise Lost' would be
the best thing you could take for a
starter."
"Yes, sir, you ought to be asham

wife chop that knotty wood! ' said a
citizeu to McEIroy llulcahey. "Sun-,
hoc, but oim not. Be gobs, an' it

A cruel exchange says: They
were talking scandal, and one of
them observed that when a certain
young lady smiled her mouth open

the first speaker, "but her teeth will
decay. Her smile won't."
"Uow's business!" asked a report

"It's been good, but we are pre

"Shut down! Why is that?"
"Why, you see, the base ball sea
