"Well, if youso goes on de bond not to faint me name and number, I don't mind puttin youse -wise to some o de kinks o' de graft," said the panhandler off -watch, s he upended one of the barrel-house dippers filled -with the 3-cent Bourbon and drank the stuff. "I ain't sayln dat de "biz Is wot it used to be, but it's still wort' de w'ile of a. gazoob dat's next to de best "way to dodge de -rough-necks -wit de tin shields, and dat un'stan's how to read charackter. Dem Is de two main -wires: Hlkln' from de cops "w'en dey've piped youse, and knowih' how to size up de maps of de right kin' o' fo'ks to brace f r de price, tays the New York Sun. De -foist t'ing f r de panhandler dat expec's to have ue price o all de suds fee kin han'l w'en he knocks off wolk. Is o keep from gettin' de bun on w'ile he's on dooty. De jag kin wait till de sun ,coes down, and It'll be all de better f'r bavin been waited f'r jes look at de fun I'm bavin vilt' meself now. fr Instance," and the panhandler off watch tossed off another dlpperful of the 3-cent Bourbon, without using any water or other amelior ating fluid for a chaser, and with every Evidence of extreme relish. Tes," he went on, 'dat's de number one t'ing f'r de panhandler wot reely wants to succeed hold off de package un til de wolk's beri done, and all de coin's ben picked up on de route. A lot o' foks 'bjec to dlggln' up toa panhandler dat looks like he wants to "lean agin a post. X don't know w'y dey should 'bjec', but a lot of 'em do, as I say. "F'r mine, I always make it a pint to Jbrace de big men. De little terriers ain't perducers. De little man nearly always wheels on de street graftr wit de held-out inltt. and calls him a 'loafer,' and gits de clutch on his walkln' stick, and swells out his t'lrty-two-inch chest, and turns Tback his head, and tries to make hlsself Hook like Buffalo Bill a-crossin' de Alps. It dont' make no difference wot kin' of .-a ditty and hoochee-cooch de panhandler .gives de little man in de way of a spiel, it's always, or nearly always, de same. "De bis blokes fr mine, as I say. And de sweller dressers dey are, de better. I always picks out a swinger dat pounds along -as if he owns ev'ry brick in de pavement and dat's got a swagger on like a royal marine in de beginnln of a drunk. Youso kin always know dat a fair-haired boy like dis has got de change right dere in -de little side pocket, and dat he likes to be tol, even by a panhandler, wot a bJazin' hot rag he Is. " 'Youse has de make-up of a gent,' says 3, 'dat kin afford half a minnlt's time t' listen t' de -appeal o distress of a poor 3juy dat's out on de rocks,' and den I jes xubber at him out o' de tail o' me off lamp "to see how he takes dat. "If he walks right on, sayln' 'On. your way!' I iall in one step behln' him, and hurl him de little one 'bout my beln' able onct to wear de same kin' o swellerlno togs dat he's sportln' Dat nearly always nails 'em. Dey preten dey're not listen In., but dey are, at dat, and all youse Is got to do Is to keep up dat line o' talk, chuckln' in one or two about benev'lent count'nances and prosp'rous, charitable looks, and dat kin, before youse'll see his 'a-Ight fin makln' fr de change hole in his coat. "Wile he's gropln fr de piece o silver youse wants to let one out about his not lookln', as if he ever had a day's bum luck in his life, and den he'll say: - 'Don't youse tlnk dat fr a mlnnlf I Qon't know w'y it is dat ev'Ty guy in de swell push, w'ether he was born wit' a ilt fork In his chops or not, and dat was never hungry or firsty a mlnnlt, in his life, likes to make hlsself t'lnk dat he's had a whole lot o hard luck durln' de course of hlB career. 'I've be up against -de game harder'n youse ever dreamed of,' ie bloke'l eay, den as he joggles de metal In his little kick, and fishes f r de piece lie's goin' to cough, and den it's up to youse to butt right in and say " 'Well, youse don't look it, and youse must hae made a win-out to beat de bail'.' " 'You've got that rightyou bet I've imade a win-out, de big easy one wit' de Slad rags on says, and den de coin's as good as stowed away in de jeans dat youse 3s wearln'. But if w'en youse makes de brace agin de big duck in de eighty-dollar blanket, he bans youse de merry twinkle out o' his windows and tells youse he needs all de drink coin he kin earn fr his own low ap'tltes. don It's de cue to push him de frank suiel. " I see youse Is next,' says I, 'and youse is de kin' o' man dat's got sym'thy f r a duck dat's cold inside, and out, and dat ain't got de price of one o' de warm boys not, I 6'pose. dat youse y'reef was ever in dat bad fix,' says I. "Wasn't hey?" says de guy, and he gets . to thlnkin' as he plods along, and me right behln' him. 'bout de times w'en he's been stuck in a prohibition town out in loway. or met'in like dat, w'ere he couldn't nail a bail, and in nine cases out o' ten beir come to de front wit de chink. a " "I've had gazoobs like dat say. in hand- in' me de coin, Look here, if I ever hear o' youse bujin' food wit dat, or doln' anyt'ln else wit it except gettin' as much red-eye as de coin's good f r, I'll have 3'ouse pinched fr a vag.' "I cot it on de conk wit" one o' dem geezers a couple -weeks ago, bowev'r," -went on the panhandler off watch, sorting out three more pennies for a dlpperful in the barrel-houses the exact price is always produced, on account of the re luctance of the baxkeep to surrender any change. "He was a-swlngln' along Slxt' avnoa, 'long 'bout de time fr me to knock off I on'y wolkB until dark and, as he bad one o' dem chesty, good-natured buns on. says I to myself, Dat one ought to stand f r two-bits at de leas'. I chucks him de flim-flam "bout me need of jes one to make me t'lnk dat life's wolf JIvin', and he stops and hands me secb a easy grin dat it looks to me like money in ihan. " 'Youse -needs a drink purty "bad, eh, chnm?" says de big swell, jammln' his mlt into de side pocket of his Raglan. " 'Never baddcr since de day o' me bolt',' says 3. and it looked so easy dat I was hopin he wouldn't have no change less'n a half. " T'lnk it ud help you a heap, eh, pal?' says de toppy guy wit' de mellow bun, pullln out a whole han'ful o' de bright two and four-bit pieces, and runnln' over em wit his eye. "'It 'ud make -me feel like enterln' me name fJ de cake-walk at de Garden, says X, "Tie poor, unforfnlt man,' says he, den, sud'nly cuttin out his grin and put tin on de undertaker map, 'youse's is a sad, sad story, and drink, I fear, has been dc roon o' youse. Here, take dis, and read it, and youse'll never Xeel like takln annuddcr drink as long as youse lives.' "Wot d youse t'lnk it was he handed mo den wit his left fin. as he put de coin dat he had in his right back in his pocket? Say, I wan't f be kicked t' deaf by rabbits if he aidn't reach Into his left hand pocket and pull out a track a track! and "give it to me! Den he walks on. I kin see his shoulders a-shakln and I knows dat he's glvln me de hoot Inside o him. but he never turns aroun' agin. "I held de -track up to de light, and I sees ia plcter of a sailor wof s full o fiuds,' and then w'ere he's glttln' run over by amllk-cart w'ile he's souzed up, and den de nex' plcter's w'ere he's all spruced us like one o' dese street-corner sky- pilots and preachln' to wot looks like forty-five fousand people hi'de picture. I brought de track down here and "give It to Jimmy de Blink, de barkeep, to read, and w'en he seen wot It was he was goln to give me de boots and trun me out. "Wen youse sets out to brace de fairies in de shoppln . dlstrlc' youse Is got to change de game all roun. Youse don't want to stack up again de big, strappln', rich-togged, swell lookers at all. Dey won't do f r any part o de route, and dey're H'ble to foller youse up four blocks to put one o' do biddies wlf a badge nex f youse's lay. In playln' de wlmmln along, youse wants to pick out de quiet dressed, unassumln little f lngs, dat ain't got no strut 'bout "dem at all, an dat walk wlf der hands in front o' 'em and der eyes on de groun'. Dat's de deep, sympaf etlc kin o' wlmmln de kin' daf ve had troubles in delr families, and brud ders an' husban's gone to de kl-yls, and all dat sort o f Ing, partlckler if dey're dressed in black. I always like f tackle de kin' daf s dressed in black, and wid dles Is de swellest kin' of a graft f'r de panhandler. "Well, youse wants to sidle up to,de skolt like wot I've described, and talk low and soft so's not to scare her, and at de same time make her t'lnk youse Is so starved dat you can't talk very loud, and w'en she looks up youse wants to git real earnest and trun. her do hungry spiel. If youse Is good enough at de graft, youse'll be able to squeeze a little o' de wet Into de corner o' each lamp w'ile youse is tellin her date you .haven't seen de color of a pork chop f'r five days, or somef in' like dat. "Now. de hungry pipe '11 nearly al ways nail de wlmmen. Dey's somef In' constltooshunal 'bout de right kind o wlmmen dat makes 'em feel bad over de fought o a man beln' hungry. Dat's wat youse Aggers on In bracln' em. "But youse wants to be keerful and name de ficger always make It a dime w'en youse is tacklin' a skolt, or she's purty H'ble 'to pass youse a couple of coppers like youse was a organ grinder; and she's purty H'ble to do It any way, w'en It comes to dat, f'r it's also again de nachur o wlmmen to to "be open and free wlf der coin. Dey have too much trouble in panhandlln' it from der 'hus ban's demselves, I s'pose. "But In the course of a day's work youse kin sometimes stack again a wom an daf 11 pay youse's way. I met one o' dem on'y 'bout a month ago. She was a nlce-lookm ol gray-headed pusson, and she wore gol'-rlmmed specs. I heaved her de starve-out spooch, and she pipes me off over de tops of her specs, and she says: "Dear me, de po man do look hungry!" 'It's been lour days sence I had so much as a bite, ma'am," says I, an' beln nachully thin daf s one o' de fings dat makes me a star panhandler, 'cause I look de part I give de nice ol' pusson de look like I could eat a jackass stuffed wlf firecrackers. "She begins de search f rough her pocket-book, and nlxey piece o' de tin-color coin has she got. Den she rubbers at her wad o' bills, and all she's got on de small order is one o' de V boys. She skinned It off de rol land gimme de search In' look. " 'Youse look like a honest young man, if youse Is hungry,' says Bhe, and she ban's me de five-spot and tells me to run into de candy store on de corner and git change and she'll gimme a dime. Oh, yes, youse picks up enough once in a while wolkln' de skaUs' to make It pay." "But," Interrogated the panhandler's listener, "didn't you return the change to the old lady?" The panhandler off watch Tubbed his eyes and looked hard at his questioner. Then he fell back off the bench on which he was seated, aijd rolled around In the sawdust in a spasm of mirth. He choked so at the windiup of his uncontrollable glee that he hadrto be rapped hard' on the back, and then he resumed? "De panhandler wot follows de graft' stiddy goes , up agin some queer" games. onct In a w'ile.- rfde night,-las,-Sum-, mer, w'en little Teddy Mcdovern made Frank Erne look like Tie wIsKt he -hadn't, I was graftln' de bunch"' ln MadlBon Square wot wasboun' f r -de fight.

"Well, de swell guy cuts me right off by sayln': 'Daf 11 do f r dat chum. De Coln'j! youse's already. I was lookln' f'r a panhandler. Pin goln f bet a tousand on McGovern to Wallop dis Buffalobloke, and' 1''e got a sooperstlshlnl dat I ajways wins w'en I coughs up "to a panhandler before bettln'. And, say, he peels off a ten-spot from his roll, and han's it to me! "ile wolk any more dat night? Not nay. Algie. I hikes me right down here to Jimmy de Blink's, and flashes de big green pape on him, and orders him aroun somef in' scan'lous, and Jimmy he dances me out a bunch o' goods from de nickel barrel dere agin de wall, and I chucks him de tenner like as If dere was four pounds more of 'em w'ere dat one come from. "Jimmy, he picks up de note and pipes it off. and den he picks up a mallet and comes aroun' lor me, an'd de way he did poun" de 'fear o' de wrath to come into me and trow me de boots and Ian' me on me face out in de middle o' de street was ' "Why," asked the panhandler's listen er, "what had you done to him?" "Oh, nottln. 'cept try to wolk off de bummest piece o bogus green stuff dat was ever to'ned out of a sausage wolks!" replied the panhandler off watch, and then, slumber seeming to rest " heavily upon his eyelids, he toppled off the bench, curled up In the sawdust, and had &oon forgotten the strenuous life in the land of dreams. A Self-Buryin? Fish. Spectator. The fish Is called by the Jiaorles the kakawal. Its habitat is very extensive In the North Island, and It may be found on the Walrarapa Plains, the Forty-Mile Bush, etc.', New Zealand. It Is generally, discovered when a man is digging out rabbits or making post holes in the Sum mer time, and It lies at a depth of a -foot or two feef under "the soil. The charac ter of the soil, whether sandy or loamy, does not seem to matter. The fish is from two to three inches .long, silvery, shaped like a minnow, but rather more slender and tapering. It appears to be dead when exhumed, and If dug. uj In the Summer and put Into water, ladles at once. If, however, it is ".brought to day light in May or early June (the end of Autumn), when the rains are beginning to make the soil thoroughly wet",.and put Into a tub of water, a curious jhlng hap pens. After a day or two ft casts Its skin, which sinks to the bottom,. .an'd. the fish plays about bright and "lively. "When dug up In Summer there appears to be a growth of skin, or perhaps of a' dry, gum my exudation, which s'eals up the head and gills. Apparently this enables it to aestlvate through the dry weather, and seals the fish as an Indian fakir Is sealed up before he goes In for a long fasting burial, df course, In Winter there must be marshy spots or pools in which the fish can swim and propagate, but often all evidence of such natation disappears In Summer, and the hot, dry, waterless plain seems the last place on earth In which to find a fish. When the skin -Is cast off vivid little spots of red appear on the body, so that some people have said that the fish is a small trout. This Is not the case (although they are now used as bait for trout); the kakawal' was well known to the natives ages before trout were introduced In England; well known, although the name by some chance has been missed in making the Maori dic tionaries, just as naturalists have missed noticing the fish, , The Romans built London about the year 50 A. D., but London wall was not built until 306 A. D. THE CRAZE FOR STEINS GERMAN DRINKING VESSELS THE FAD FOR DECORATIONS. How They Should Be HnnB-Pegs Better Than a" Shelf Some Have One Stcln From n City. Steins are the fad of the .day fpr decora tion, especially In men's rooms, such as dens, smoking, apartments, dining-rooms and libraries. AH sorts of steins are high ly prized for this purpose, and the more unusual, the shapes, designs or cplorlng are, the better thp collector is pleased. The fad Is at its height now, and for once, the rich are delighted, In that stein collecting costs considerable money, and, therefore, as the -price protects them, they have something that ,the hoi polldl cannot 'imitate. The cost of. a really fine collec tion of these drinking vessels woild reach well'up into the hundreds of dollars, and 'as comparatively few can afford to ex pend so much for ornamentation, the number of collections Is necessarily lim ited. But for'those who are content to have a few pieces, each with a personal sig nificance, there Is no more fascinating form of collecting. "Many buy steins as they formerly did souvenir spoons, one for every city they may spend any time In. Of course,,, the steins do not repre sent scenes In tho, cities,., unless they may be typical -of German towns; but distinctive-, designs- can be. obtained, and in the mind of the true collector, none .would, be .forgotten. The. husband of a .New York woman Js making for her a onit(rtinn of sjfpJns" from towns in Ger many which he Is". touring, besides, he Is "having his friends do likewise, and he cultivates all the Germans ne may come in contact with, with"' the same Idea in view. 'As these vessels are found at their best In Germany, and as many-of the" most typical sorts seldom find their way out of the blerkeilers'there he has some speci mens that would make anvone covetous. So popular has stein collecting become that Importers have taken It up, and they are bringing to the United .States fine specimens from all parts of Europe. Some come In sets with the jug or tankard sur rounded usually by half a dozen smaller steins' The tankard Is always a tall, stately vessel, with high ornamentation; the stein, on the contrary, Is usually short, fat and j?ood natured looking jolly, in fact. The tankard"1 usually has a lip, over which the beer is poured. All have pewter covers. Your true beer drinker always uses a stein. He fills it full of the yeasty fluid, and slaps down the cover. This keeps the beer from becoming flat and stale. When he wishes a draught the true beer drlnk emever swills It down, he sips he shakes the stein with a peculiar swinging motion, thus stirring' up-thecontents, and making the beer fresh. Sometimes- a man will 'sip at Tone stein all -the evening. The proper way Is "to chill the steins-with crushed Ice, and then to pour In the cold beer. .In this -way -the beer Is kept cool for a. long time. The word stcln is German for stone, and steins are classed there as. stoneware. This ware was first made In Ratlsbori, and then' In Baireuth and. Cologne, and thence its manufacture drifted throughthe Rhine provinces In Saxony and ,later it was taken up In Holland., and France. The Heidelburg student has his beer stein" as-he' does his sword and. duel; he Vnonc tf haniHmr nn a nee- In his Det tav ern, and many 'Is the bout at drinking .. .J" iJ ,3-- lln AltVimicrVi lm. tnat inese pmcea wiuicou. niu.uuBu onade elder and the like may be quaffed from a stein, It shocks the German mind to mention such a thing; It is a desecra tion to the stein to so base a use. So, too, the stelri should'hang from a -peg shelves will do, but arevndt "the" thing. Ari Interesting story lstold of the origin of "sterns, "and it is' represented in fullor in parton,many of the finest steins and takards. The legend says tha't Jacqueline of Bavaria, Counte6S ol Halnault and Hol land, marrled-under pressure Johnv Duke of Brabaijt a man for whom she had nei ther liking nor -respect'. John of Bavaria, "bishop of Liege a disappointed suitor, as a j-esult declared war against the Count jess' and compelled her to make him her Heir. 'The bishop als6 bribed the" beautiful Countess' husband to permit him to man age her estate, from Which' he expeeted to realize large fees. Disgusted with men In general, the Countess fled to England and appealed thence to the pope for a di vorce. The holy father said he could find no plea which to his mind would give him just reason for granting the decree. In England, the beauty of the Countess made a great Impression upon many Eng lishmen of ligh degree. None was more infatuated than the Duke of Gloucester, who gathered a large army to march against the distressed lady's husband and the bishop of Liege. The husband- of Jacqueline quickly secured the aid of the Duke of Burgundy, and the combined armies defeated the soldiers of the Duke of Gloucester: This gallant gentleman de cided' that beauty was in this case too set about with thorns, and, deserting the 'fair one, he fled to England, leaving the Countess to be Imprisoned by her liege lord and his friends. She managed to es cape, and on the death of the disappoint ed lover, In 1425, resumed her position. Her husband died shortly after. The Duke of Burgundy, from having helped defend her possessions against herself, put In a claim to be appointed her heir, and as his argu ments' were strongly backed by swords and lances, she agreed. In spite of -her disastrous experience with "men, the Countess undertook mar riage a second time. This act aroused the Indignation of Philip the Good of France, one of the most active - meddlers of his time. To appease the wrath of Philip the Countess agreed to give up. all her pos sessions and retire to the -castle of Tey llnger, on the Rhine, where She died- three years later, at the age of 36. From this the Countess'-connection with stoneware Is" ftof apparent, but when it is stated that Teyllriger Is the seat ol one of the oldest and most famous 'potteries,"' and that the Countess once, in 1424, when "a" fugitive, and again af terher marriage, took a great interest In the development of the work It wlU be, clearer. .She gave up .her time and money to advance, the efficiency, of the potteries, even .entering them to. make ware with, her own fair hands. She was Idolized by the workmen, who would drink her healjth In great steins of liquor, and then, lifting the -vessels -high -over the Rhine, which flowed heneath the castle, where she kept open house,, they would hurl" them Into" the river, that the flagons mlglit never be used to a- less exalted toast. Some of these steins have been found,'- and they differ' very little In shape frpm those In which to this day the Ger man student'or good burgomaster takes his draft of bfeerln the keller of his na tive land. Christlnnlty and the Asiatic. Meredith Townsand In The Contemporary ' - " Review. I shall be told that the" spread of Chris tianity, which is inevitable, will extin guish probably' very speedily ' the sep arateness "of Asia, and with It all its consequences. Will it? Let us look at that belief a Httle closely, and without preconceived Ideas. I do not' And in history that a' common Christianity in any degree removes hatreds of race or nationality, or prevents continuous out breaks of bitter hostility; but we may'let that pass. What Is the real ground for believing that Asia will accept Chris tianity? Certainly there is no historic ground." "No- Asia tic -nation of any im pbrtanee ca"n bo said to have accepted it in the last seventeen hundred years. The Aslatld race which .knows the creed best, krid''has had the strongest reasons for accepting it, reasons which prevailed with the Germans and the Slavs when .pagan, ttllL rejecta it with a certain silent but very perceptible scorn. What has changed In Asia that the future should be so unlike the past? There are more teachers, no doubt, but there are not one-tenth nor one-hundredth so many as have endeavored through the ages In vain to convert "the 3ews. It Is said that Christ gave an order to his disciples to teach all nations; that" Is true, and I for one believe1 the order, to be binding, and -that the Christian church which sends out no- missionaries Is a- dead church? but where In the record has Christ promised to those missionaries uni versal success? Is It not at least pos sible that the -missionaries carry In their hands the offer of eternal life, "which a few accept, while the rest perish ever lastingly, that Is, die like flowers or the dumb creatures Of God? This much, at least. Is certain, that for eighteen hun dred years It has been no part of the policy of Heaven I write with reverence though I use npn-rellglous terminology to convert Asfatlcaen masse, and there is no proof that this absence of divine assistance to the teachers may not con tinue for an equal period. in the future The truth Is that the Asiatics, like tho Jews, dislike Christianity, see In It an ideal they do not love, a promise they do not desire, and a pulverizing force which must shatter their clvlllzatlonsi Eternal consciousness! ., That to the ma jority of Asiatics Is not a promise but a threat. The wish to be rid of con sciousness, either by annihilation or by absorption In the Divine, Is the strongest impulse they can feel. ADVERTISED.

M. The 'oldest Picture-Boolr. - The Nineteenth Century. The oldest picture-book m. our ponsesslon Is the midnight sky. We stand out under the stars on sorrfe clear; moonless night, and, looking upward, though no forms are visible, though it is only here and there that the natural .grouping can by the ut most legitimate effort of fancy be made to fit' some preconceived shape, yet we still seem vto see the whole vast dome covered with mysterious frescoes. There in the north shine the two Bears, the Downing, Hopkins & Co. ESTABLISHED 1S03. WHEAT AND STOCK BROKERS Room 4, Ground Floor Chamber of Commerce unsleeping guardians ot the pole. Be tween them winds the Dragon. There stands Cephus the King, and by hisf side. In midstream of the Tdllky "Way.Js seated Cassiopeia, his Queen. The ilgur.es over head and to the south change with the changing hours, and seasons, and the De cember midnight brings us the most glo rious show of all. There Is Orion: fol lowlns him are Slrlus and Procyon, his dogs; above are the Bull and Twins: and hlgiher still, Auriga and Perseus join Ca slopela on the Milky "Way. Andromeda, chained to her rock, lies beneath her boastful mother; while her enemy, the great Sea Monster, Is sinking down below the western horizon. The April nights give the predominance of Arcturus, the most . brilliant of the constellation of Bootes, the herdsman, who stands with one hand stretched toward the Crown, uie other toward the Greater Bear. Beneath him lies the Virgin, while the Hon Is rushing downward toward the west. . The flcorolon is the lord of the south during the short Summer nights, while the Lyre,-, with its bright blue jewel.. Vega, claims the zenith; 'and between, the two giant heroes, Ophluchus and Hercules, spread thelr'huge limbs. The September midnight 1b the time for Pegasus, ana then the watery and fishMlke constellations have their , turn the. Dolphin, the Sea 'Goat, Aquarius with his stream and the southern" fish, the twin fishes, and fair Andromeda's huge marine persecutor. - "We seeip o see these form's, though no form or semblance of the form Is really there. For from a great antiquity -men have looked "upward, to the heavens; and have pictured thereon. In their own thought, Certain "forms, which we have In herited .from them by lorig tradition; forms which became so real to them that the stars themselv.es, on which they based them, seem to fade out or to be' but as the nails, which kept the pictures In po sition, while the- forms' Vemalned the real objects which filled the heavens. BY PHONETIC SYSTEM. Children Thus Taught, but No Spell . - insr Reform Proposed. - Radical reform in spelling, or any meth- nA nf nVinnotlo enAllintr. wllf nOt at pres- ent be introduced in the public school sys tem of Baltimore, says the American, ao stated Professor Van Sickle In conversa tion with a reporter of the American. He also said that he did not think a reform In the English language 'could be forced by a radical and decided change In the methods now usqd, but that the slmpll flcatlbn "would be gradual and the result of. time. Since Shakespeare the English language has been changing for the bet ter a"nd becoming simpler. . A change' In the direction of simplifying words was made about 1S97, when a 'list of about a dozen words In ordinary UBe were shortened, some of them being "al thb,". "thru," "thruout," "thoro," "cata log," ''program" and so on, and which list was adopted by the National Educa tlnnftl Association. A resolution was in troduced, but not adopted, at the recent meeting attended by Proressor van bicie to-"memorallze the board of directors of the Natlpnal Educational Association to appropriate $1000 for each of the next five years, to be -expended In promoting the cavfse of simplifying our English1 spelling under the direction of a cbmmlsslon to be named by rthat -body." Although no radical moae or pnoneuc spelling' will -be1 introduced In the public cVhnnia horn nHii thp children In the pri mary grades are taught words by a pho netic, system, and va reader preparea iui that "purpose is interesting. The first les son is In sounds. The picture of a dog is shown, with the sound made by a dog's growling, thus r-r-r, then f-f-f for the angry spitting of a cat, then the sound a-a-a, as In' "at." Then, by combining the growl of the dog. "r," and the "a" from "at," the combination' of the word "rat" Is easily formed. Each lesson Intro duces new sounds, until finally the child reads readily. .In connection with this subject is the question of language as affected by our new political relations. With respect to orthography, the spelling of the Spanish language is almost purely phonetic, and even an English-speaking child just be ginning to learn, could much more readily learn to read the Spanish than his own language. In closing, an example of a radical pho netic change in our language may be in teresting: "Unfortunetll, the helps tu the lerner ar.fu and bi thoz hu most ned them not ezl to find.. In Ingland the wurcs of Ellis and thoz ov Pitman ar the best almost the onll wunz." Music and the Tom-Tom. Monthly Review. In a quiet country walk we know from the sound heard that a cart Is passing along the highway, that water Is near by the' murmur It makes In going over the pebbles, and a rumble of distant thunder indicates some disturbance of the atmos phere In the' direction whence the sound proceeds. But we soon find that sound results from the emotion (or motion) of organic as well as Inorganic bodies, for, In passing the farmhouse, we disturb the watchdog, which barks furiously, and, before coming to the end of the lane, the sound of laughter tells us that some of the farmhands are enjoying themselves. Now we have heard all these sounds with out seeing who or what has caused any of them, and yet we have described In detail the agents which have produced them. How Is this? Simply from the as sociation of the sound with the origina ting mbtlon or emotion. But the thunder draws nearer and Its peals become almost deafening. As we hasten homeward we notice In an adjoining field some 'horses careering up and down In: a -state of great excitement. The thunder has frightened tfiem. How? Again the answer Is "From the association of the sound with the orig inating emotion." The instinct of self preservation leads them to apprehend dan ger from such a convulsion of nature, and the poor animals are quivering with ex citement. In other words, there is repro duced In them the same emotion, if such a term may be used, from which the thunder originated. This accouets-for the effect of the tom-tom, which our ances tors worshipped as they did the thunder, thinking that each was the voice of a god; and although it is not easy to say whether they liked the tom-tom. alL ac counts go to prove that they were highly excited by It. It is more than probable, howeyer, that It produced In them a sort of savage delight, for It Is known that by Its aid savages are accustomed In their wlid dances to work themselves up to such a pitch of excitement that they will perform the iriost frantic leaps and the most violent bodily contortions, even going the length of hewing at their own bodies. The other occasion (besides the war-dance) on which the tom-tom Is used among- primitive races to produce excite ment Is during the performance of their religious rites, at which human sacrifice appears to form the most essential fea- "lir-.-, Bt.UMn.i Bill Ljliluilll " Till' Mormon BlShOPS' PUIS Church aia incu ioicr. ouucy mkik potancy, Lost Power, Night-Losses, Spormatorrhooa Insomnia, Pains rr)BacRcU Desire.
