[PUBLIC SPEAKING. j YR7 HAT are the elemeatarj | V V demands on the public I speaker? The physical qualifications for a moderate success ara few. A j good presence always predisposes »d I audience in favor of a speaker, and ; remains a heavy handicap in favor of the man who can make good his right to a pleasing and impressive manner, but physical promise only adds to the completeness of the overthrow of a man who is a noodle. A distinct enunciation, a clear and resonant voice, coolness and selfpossession, which, however, do not take liberties' with an audience, but , are useful only for securing perfect self-command and natural gestures— these are the chief physical resources of a successful speaker. That they are 1 not by any means essential must be known to every man who has a wide acquaintance with popular speakers and preachers. Several of the roost delightful preachers of the century have been almost unintelligible to those who were not accustomed to their mannerisms or physical deficiencies. The gift of eloquence is happily often, but by no means always, accompanied by a melodious voice ; while the dramatic power of gesture is a rarity in this country. The full extent of qualifications, for which every audience should look, and without which the modest oratoe will keep in the background, are : clear thinking, a clear marshalling of words, clear utterance and full acquaintance with the subject. The qualities which, commend Suratura Tea to the jublic are its purity, strength, and fragrance. Suraiura comes from Ceylon, and is not blended with Indian, China, or other cheap and inferior teas.
