CURRENT TOPICS.

Themes Which Men and Women Dis course About on Street Cars.

A certain physiciun of this city, who never neglects an opportunity to study the traits of the people among whom his business takes him, has been mak- ing some obvervations recently that may serve as a basis for estimating the char- acter of the average mcdern American.

‘I have to travel on street cars a good ecal,’’ the physician said in explaining lis course of procedure, ‘‘and I hear all kinds of people talk. A short time ago I thonght I would keep a record of the words most frequently used within my hearing by people of all classes.

**l omit pemes, profanity and vulgar- ity, but otherwise this list, which rep- resents one week's street car conversa- Here, then, is a summary of what married men talk about:

**Dollars mentioned within my hear- ing, 407 times; business, 295; money, 206; dollar, 194; stocks, 168; bonds, 162; job, 81; son, 68; daughter, 11; wife, 4; literature, 0; music, 0; art, 0.

‘*Married women: She, 409; party, 326; dress, $24; splendid, 316; dol- lars, 201; trimming, 187; cards, 151; prize, 151; society, 180; baby, 129; clothes, $4; weather, 62; rich, 60; lovely, 59; perfectly awful, 46; doctor, 43; medicine, 34; music, 6; literature, 0; art, 0.

‘*I imtend,’’ concluded the doctor, ‘*to pursue this subject further, and may be able to give additional figures that will be interesting.’’—Cleveland Leader.

The Largest Book.

Professor Max Muller of Oxford, in a recent lecture, called attention to the largest book in the world, the wonder- ful Kuth Daw. It consists of 729 parts in the shape of white marble plates, covered with inscriptions, each plate built with a temple of brick. It is found near the old priest city of Mandalay, in Burma, and this temple city of more than 700 pagodas virtually makes up this monster book—the religious codex of the Buddhists. It is written in Pali. Rather strange to say, it is not an an- cient production, but its preparation was prompted by the Buddhistic party of this century. It was erected in 1857 by the command of Mindomin, the sec- ond of the last kings of Burma.—Home Journal.

Reat.

Little Bessie had been taken in to see her new baby brother for the first time.

‘*‘Do you think you will like him, Bessie?’’ asked her father.

‘*‘Why, yes,’’ she said, clapping her hands delightedly. “There isn’t any sawdust about him at all, is there? He’s a real meat baby.’’—Pick Me Up.

Domestic Limitations. *“‘After all, bourding house life has its advantages.’’ **How so?”’ “When a man gets tired of canned vegetebles, he dare not say so to bis wife.’'—Chicago Record.

" GRANT’S SECRETIVENESS. |

The Responsibility of His Position Forced Him to Guard His Utterances,

General Horace Porter, in ‘‘Cam- paigning With Grart,’’ in The Century, says concerning General Grant’s secre- tiveness:

After the general had got some miles out on the march from Cold Harbor an officer of rank joined him, and as they rode along began to explain a plan which he bad sketched, providing for the construction of another line of in- trenchments some distance im rear of the Hines thén held by us, to be used, in case the army should at any time want to fall back and move toward the James

‘and should be attacked while with-

drawing. The general kept on smoking his cigar, listened to the proposition for a time and then quietly remarked to the astonished officer, ‘‘The army has al- ready pulled out from the enemy’s front and is now on its march to the James.’’ This is mentioned as an instance of how well his secrets could be kept. He had never been a secretive man until the "positions of responsibility in which he was placed compelled him to be chary in giving expression to his opinions and purposes. He then learned the force of the philosopher's mazim that ‘‘the un- spoken word is a sword in the scabbard, while the spoken word is a sword in the hand of one’s enemy.’’ In the field there were constant visitors to the camp, ready to circulate carelessly any inti- mationsof the commander's movements, at the risk of having such valuable in- “formation reach the enemy. Any en- courag?ng expression given to an appli- cant for favors was apt to be tortured into a promise, and the general natural- ly became guarded in his intercourse. When questioned beyond the bounds of propriety, his lips closed like a vise, and the obtruding party was left to sup- ply all the subsequent conversation. These cireumstances proclaimed him a@ man who studied to be uncommunica- tive and gave him a reputation for re- serve which could not fairly be attrib- utedto him. He wascalled the ‘‘ Amer- ican Sphinx,’’ “Ulysses the Silent’’ and the ‘‘Great tnspeakable, ’? and was pop- ularly supposed to move about with sealed lips. It is trne that he had no ‘‘small talk’’ introduced merely for the sake of talking, and many a one will recollect the embarrassment of a first encounter with him resulting from this fact. But while, like Shakespeare’s sol- dier, he never wore his dagger in bis mouth, yet in talking to a small circle of friends upon matters to which he had given special consideration his conver- tion was sv thoughtful, philosophical and original that he fascinated all who listened to him.

Mrs. Hunniker—I’m really disconr- aged about our Will. I don’t believe he is destined to be a great man after all,

Mr. Hunniker—Nonsense, nonsense! What's put that idea into your head?
