$kK. Etiquette of the Umbrella.

Tlie following has recently leen nub-
BsKed:
The umbrella, which the Englishman
uder his threatening climate wisely
phBiders an indispensable accompani-
i10"1- tonet as ol ten as he breathes
he outer air, is for very different rea
P11 in the East a necessity to the native,
p Siam and Burmuh, China, Annam
pd Cochin China, it is not onlv the
ecessary protection against the lntru
ve rays of a vertical sun, but it has
motions of its own to discharge which
e quite foreign to it even in those
mntries where it is, as it was intended
be, a "little shade." It is a distinctive
tature in the lives and characters of the
atives of those parts, and their kings
id emperors, when vrdting to one an
t&jker, allude to their subjects us
fearers of the umbrella," in contra
distinction to the ignorant and nnsL'uhled
, people of other climes. Thus we iind an

xmnuaii, atoui mc roym eitier urotiier,
Tun-kwang, emi)erorof China, who rules
over a multitude of umbrella-wearing

KUiiefs in the Great "Western Emmre.

ah Jiurmali especially the umbrella has a
deep and secret meaning to convoy
p what is us double-Dutch at first to the
foreigner's ear. It i"s, it need scarcely
'e said, the necessarv finish to the out
s pi-door toilet ot a lVnguan or Burmese
fashionable, but it is much more. Ii
'Has very delicate duties to perform
which could not so well be allotcd in
Burmah to any other instrument. Gold
or gilded umbrellas, which in the
provinces may be carried by ar.ynodv.
are reserved in the capital for princes of
ihe blood alone: and red umbrellas are
affected by the gay sparks of Burmese
society as being the next thing most
gaudy in appearance. Etiquette has
also fixed the exact number of umbrellas
the Burmese nobles may display when
they approach the "lord of the golden
palace; and it has now been settled by
me Man delay Herald s olhce beyond pos
sibility of dispute that no one but the
liiiin-SShe-Men, or heir apparent, is cnti
ied to have borne over his litter the full
. jomplement of eight golden umbrellas
Co carry a letter under an umbrella is to
.ccord to it Royal honors in Burmah
Sight golden umbrellas are properly
carried over a king's letter, and when
the Burmese authorities would not per
mit the umbrellas to be carried over tin
governor-general's letter, according to
custom, Major Bhayre. the British
voy to Burmah in 1853, insisted upon
tlie union jack being waved over it on
its way from the residency to the nalace.
Railroad or Railway, VOiicli I
IShould we say and write "railroad" or
K&ilway?" A. road, the dictionary in-
(fofrnsus, is a place where one may ride;
ariFopen way, a track for travel. A way
jsji generic thing (on the same author
jitra, denoting any line for passage or
ponvevance. A highway was originally
rav raised above the level, for dryness.
foad, says the dictionary, is strictly a
Uv for horses and carriages. In this
mitry. and apparently in England
ing by the King s highway the
brd "high" has come to have the sig-
LTi t TJ t t 1. Z 77 I
imcance oi open una puimc, ami
when we speak of being on the high
way" we mean on the public and com
mon road. But when we say "in my
way," or call to a jjerson to get out ol
the way," (very rarely "road" in such
se&se.) there appears to be a common
recognition of "way" as the more generic
word. But m use without a compound
ing wordj "way" is rarely applied in the
sense of "road;" thus we do not speak of
walking or riding along the "way; we
say "right of way," not "road;" nor is
"road" used except in "railroad," which
is the American term, as "railway is the
English. A few roads we do not say
" ways' which have English ownership
or ciose connections, such as Erie and
Atlantic and Great "Western, are, ollieial
Iv railways, and this term is probably
making its "way" slowly. It has. how
ever, at least the comparative disadvan
ta e that as yet we are not accustomed to
"ways" as short for railways, or to speak
of the "way -bed;" on the other hand
"way" has an advantage in not being
used to designate instruments of passage
by ordinary vehicles. Some other Eng
lish terms are better than our own; foi
example, "share" is better than "stock,"
the latter haviug several us s. The Eng
lish ''couch,"' on rails, was obtained by
transfer of word as well as article, but it
is less expensive than our "ear." So
"stoker," although correct, is rather less
idiomatic than ,iireman," which is made
bv the same process with which children
turn the gray-coated carrier" into " letter-man."
The English 'point" is ivr
tainly better than our "switch;"' aim!
"driver," which in this country is short
for the large wheel when used in connec
tion with locomotive, is more exact than
".engineer," who is much more than an
engine-driver. "Metals" would sound
strange here as the designation of iron
rails, and "line" would hardly escape de
tection as foreign, in use for the "road"
or "way." There is, however, an Eng
lish term so expressive, as applied to cap
ital fixed in railways and manufacturing
enterprises, that it would be well to nat
uralize it the word "plant." Such
capital may or may not prove fruitful;
yet all all the same it is withdrawn
Xlanted.
A Brooklyn mother feck her year-old
baby on sliced cucumbers and milk and
then wanted the prayers of the church be
cause the Lord took it away. 1

"We would call the attention of our
readers to the advertisement in another
column of "White's Business College?
(formerly the National) of Portland,
Oregon. This institution, established in
1800, and conducted by DeFrancc A:
White, is now owned and managed by
Mr. White, so well known throughout
the Northwest as an energetic and pains
taking educator and an artistic-penman
of national reputation. Mr. "White has
placed this institution upon an entire
new footing, having employed a new
corps of the most ellicient teachers to be
found anywhere, and introduced the
latest and most thorough methods of
drill in business training and the En
glish branches. This school, as now
conducted, is without doubt the fore
most one of the Northwest, and merits
the patronage of all 2crsons of either
sex desiring a practical, useful, every
