PUBLIC SPEAKING. WHAT are the elementary demands on the public speaker? The physical qualifications for a moderate success are few. A good presence always predisposes an 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 maucet?, bat 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 cpeaker. That they are not by any means essential must be kuown to every man who has a wide acquaintance with popular speakers and preachers. Several cf the most delightful preachers of the century have been almost unintelligible to tbose 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 orator will keep in the background, are: clear thinking, a clear marshalling of words, clear utterance and full acquaintance with the subject. Tho qualities which commend Suratura Tea to the public are its purity, strength, and fragrance. Suratura comes from Ceylon, and is not blended with Indian, China, or other cheap and inferior teas.
