The mere fact of much talking on the part of one rules out other people, and there can hardly be much point in a windy monologue. What more common sight is there than that of half a dozen people I sitting silent while one "holds forth " in a stream of self-satisfied palaver, which gives no great pleasure to the rest, though you know that several who are present would have had something crisp and good to cay if the talk had been scattered, and casual, and natural, and not formal and dominated by a windy bore? No greater mistake could be made than to suppose that silent, or even taciturn, people are the worse wet blankets of talk. Tho greatest of all such damping afflictions are tho good souls who firmly believe it is ibeic duty to keep on talking, to keep the ball rolling whether they have anything to say or not. Next to them come the specialist?, experts, and faddists, < whose existence is bounded by some j restrictive theory. Lastly, there is the woeful company of professed jokers, who have been persuaded that it is their mission to amuse. A certain amount of talk is necessary, and we talk straight when we tell you that Suratura is the Queen of teas. Suratura is a rich and fragrant Ceylon tea, and is guaranteed not blended with Indian, China, or other cheap and inferior teas. ~~ IMPOUNI)IN(rNOTrCK IMPOUNDED in the riawwa Public Pound on Sep" ember 22, by E.
