WRESTLING WITH ENGLI§H.‘
Joyous Course In Conversation In a
o Brazilian Handbook. o
Occasionally are heard egg,re,ssio‘gs:ot

cans do not respond warmly enough. to.
our efforts to win their=:onfidence. Let
the doubting peruse the pages of a
booklet published in the city of Para, a
copy of which has been receikxed by a
merchant dealing with Brazilian firms,
*lnglish For the Mass” is the title of
it, translated by the author. Apparent
ly the ‘*‘mass” in Brazil, whoever it
may be, need not be very fastidious in
the matter of spelling, for the first ten
or twelve pages, devoted entirely to
columns of words, would not earn a
very high percentage in a primary
school examination,
“Conversacions for the Daily” is the
heading of the first round of this battle
with English syntax. Then follows a
sample of a “conversacion” that should
take place between two Americans
meeting each other out walking.
“Good morning, sir, is it 'not the day
fine?” 4
" “Very pleasantly, thank you, and how
are you?” :
“Very goodly, with your permission,
sir. Are you walking?” :
“Yes, sir, for the health, Will you
break some fast with me?”
“Gracious, yes. Shall we go to the
coffee?” ;
“With pleasantness, sir. Let us eat
meat and bread.” /
And so each lesson progresses until
the mass is supposed to be so advanced
as to be able to enjoy a more scholarly
essay on “The American Sellsman.”
“The American Sellsman,” writes the
author, “is typically of an energy which
is to admire in the warmth of tropics.
©Of . a . youthfulness generally, he
breathes . lively and walks springly,
searching the customer loyally for the
firm his, . o
“To all he greets smiles, and one is to
adinire his frank.- He is fresh of the
cold northerly. Yet under the breast of
the American sellsman beats the heart
warmness, therefor let us give greeting
smiles with two hands open to him
crying ‘welcome to Brazil, Mister.’”

The Russian' Moujiks. g
After he bhad smashed ‘a Russian
army and overrun a province Napoleon
collected the moujiks and told them
that henceforth they belonged ‘to him
and France. They glared at him and
gave him the lie. He shot some of
them, but the rest were adamant,
Then he had fine moujik branded on
the left arm with the letter N. “Now,”
he said, “you belong to me.” , The
moujik lifted to the conqueror’s face
his bloodshot eyes under his shaggy
mane of hair, and then, seizing, a
hatchet, lopped off the left arm and let
the bleeding limb fall at Napoleon’s
feet. “That is yours,” he -growled,
“but the rest of my body and my:‘heart
belong to holy Russia and the czar!”
And from that hour Napoleon realized
what he was up against.—New York
Sun. :
A Punctured Metaphor.
'“Did@ you write this note to Maria?”
asked the young woman’s mother.
. “Yes,” replied the susceptible youth. |
**And you considered it proper to re
mark that her teeth were pearls?”’ i
“It's customary to say things like
that.” , ‘
“Well, young man, let me tell you
something. If Maria’s teeth were
pearls she wouldn't be wastin’ 'em on
ham and cabbage an’ chocolate drops.‘
She’d string 'em an' wear ’em around
her neek an' take her ¢hances on an]
imitation set of heusehold jewelry for
everyday work from the store.”—Wash

Bridal Customs In Spain.
In Spain a bride has no girl attend
ants to stand at the altar with her, butl
instead a “madrina.”” or godmother,
Neither does she have a wedding cake
nor any festive geing away after the'
ceremony. The wedding pair depart
quietly to their new home, where they{
remain until the following day, When‘
they start on their honeymoon. Before
departing they pay a formal visit to
their respeetive relatives. ‘

CULTIVATE JUDGMENT.
Its Possession Is What Makes a Man
Successful In Business.
It w#3 one of the intellectual shocks
of my young manhood to discover that
an analytical chemist could often get
only $5O a month. I had long looked
with awe upon the accurate percent
ages and detailed reports of the ana-
Iytical chemist. This water contains
2.341 grains of such and such sub
stance per gallon. I wondered at the
marvelous man who could get out such
fime results, and to learn that he at
“times gets but $5O a month was a
shock. ‘
. The explanation is this. The chem
ical analysis of ordinary specimens is a
technical process of a perfectly definite
character. If a work is definite and
therefore capable of being reduced to
clear cut instructions the pay that it
commands is not likely to be high, even
though the work itself is complicated.
It requires good.memory and painstak
ing obedience to instructions. Many
persons Hhave these gqualities. The
scarce attribute is judgment, that in
definable quality capable of meeting a
new situation and handling it with
comimon sense or gumption, to put it in
a homely term.
Judgment is indefinite. We cannot
lay out instructions in advance to tell
the manager how to meet situations.
To buy good raw material he must
learn to know the raw materials, and
many of the tests he applies are too
fine for words to reduce to instructions.
He must decide for indefinite reasons
that now is a good time to enlarge or
retrench; that here is a good place to
open up business; that now is a good
time to buy ofsto run low on stock:
that this man needs to be hired; that
this man needs to be fired.
It is in the making of decisions that
successful management lies. And most
of these decisions are beyond rule.
They are indefinite. They are judg
ment.—Engineering Magazine,
SHE WAS SYMPATHETIC.
But Her Attempt to Be Chatty Brought
an Embarrassing Moment.
This is an extract from a letter writ
ten by a woman who is willing to share
a good joke, even if the laugh is at her
own expense: :
“It was a damp, windy day—the sort
of day that turns straight, straggly
blond hair like mine into a mass of
strings and ends that stick out about
the face and neck with frightful effect.
I was downtown on a shopping expedi
tion that was exceptionally trying, and
I knew I looked so bad that I care
fully avoided all chance of glances into
mirrors, for I was sure I could not, un
der the circumstances, improve my ap
pearance much. Recklessly I entered a
tearoom with a frieed whom I' hap
pened to meet. i
“As I placed my shopping bag on the
floor near the table at which we were
to _sit, another bag, exactly like my
own, was put besidé it. Quife nafurally
my glance followed the hand and arm
up to the face of my neighbor, and as I
met her look I said to myself, ‘She has
hair just like mine—sticking out in
every direction—and she looks even
worse than I do, poor thing?! :
“Naturally, my heart went out to her
in a great wave of sympathy. We
smiled simultaneously as our, troubled
eyes met, and I said aloud and quite
distinctly, ‘lf we are pet careful .we
shall'get our shopping bags mixed!
“The moment the words were out of
my mouth I wished very earnestly that
the floor would mercifully open and let
me.through. It did not require the sub
dued snicker from the nearby tables to
awaken me to the realization that I
had been addressing the image of my
self in the mirror of which the entire
side of the shop was farmed. Do you
get the picture?”—Youth’s Companion.
A Natural Inquiry. :
Helen was a very inquisitive child
who greatly annoyed her father each
evening with endless questions while
he tried te read the newspaper, One
evening. among other things, she de
manded, ‘“Papa, what do you do at the
store all day?” '
Exasperated at her persistence he an
swered briefly, *“Oh, nothing!”
Helen was silent a moment, and theh
asked, “But how. do you know when
Yyou are done?”"—Harper’s Magazine, ..
How Do You Make a Circle?
The intelligence of people may be
gauged by asking them -to make a
circle on paper. with a pencil and not
ing in which direction the hand is
moved. The good student in a math
ematical class draws circles from left
to right. - The inferiority of the softer
sex as well as the male dunces is
shown by their drawing from right to
left. Asylum patients do the same.—
