AMERICAN AS SHE fS SPOKE.
,
A number of recent magazine write rs
have taken it upon themselves to prove
that "the American lancnage" is as per-
feet and ample a milium for the ex-,
predion of idea as the lammae cal'.e
F . - fM
-n2'15,,K ? v !
Just why they have undertaken thW!
labor of supsrerotration now is unknown, j
for it is much the same controversy that j
has been fiercely waging for veare le-
tween '-authorities'" ou both fides.. - j
When a critic for the Iondon Saturday !
Review gets hold of an American book I
he goes on the hunt for solee'ema and
blunders. If he finds one he st yles it an
"Americanism"" and writes a whole
column alK'iit it. Moat of the "Amer
i-anism-
' would be found to be common i
to both iintries and indigenous to En
gland. There are real Americanisms
just at? there are geuine Anglicisms; and,
in both classes, some are villainous,
while others are neatly idiomatic. And
for every atrocious siang or cant word in
common use here there is one equally
atrocious, in use among the Britons.
If the critics would be frank and hon
est nil around there would be no occa
sion for resurrecting this corpse of an
ancient dissension. The fact is that
there are local dialects in America just
as there are dialects in England, and in
those dialects there are usages not purely
English. In the cities here language is
written and spoken, on the whole, with
greater purity than that commonly used
in -London.- Our enunciation is notably
better. Occasionally an extremely
voting member of our chryso-aristocracy
says "Fahncy, neow !"or "Chahmed to
meet you," but he is an exception.
When we find a man, American born,
Mho has adopted this lingo we miiv
have to confess his nationality, but we
deny resonsibility for the alien influ
v.nce that brought him to take up the
peculiar jargon in which he prides him
self. The wool business of the. country as
one of the leading industries, holds the
interest of tlio entire community. The
Boston Commercial Bulletin collates
that Boston is the second wool market
iu the world and the greatest, in the
United, stales. There is only one
market in the world where more wool ia
sold, London. The system, in London is,
however, an auction system, as largely
in Liverpool and Melbourne. London Is
the largest wool market in .the world,
and the sales in a year are three er four
times those of Boston, which is just a
little larger than Melbourne. The sales
of colonial wool (the balk of the busi
ness) in Ivondon iu 1891 were 1,433,000
taales, or abopt 573,200,000 pounds. The
"total sales of Melbourne, Australia, in
the season just closed were .202,694 bales,
or at most 117,000,000 pounds ; the total
sales in Boston this last year were 158,
155,459 pounds; the sales in Liverpool
were 200,139 bales, mostly of East
Indian wool, or about 95,000,000 pounds.
Fishermen clown the Columbia river
are very jubilant over a fresh and big
run of salmon that entered the CJolnni
bia this weeic. Boats come in loaded
down with the finest kind of fish and
remind tln-nt of the lively time several
years ago when everybody had money
and lieh to spare. This. late run will
help out the pack for 1892 at a very sat
isfactory rate, as the number of cans up
to date 19 far below the usual output.
Oregon has done nothing lately -toward
the selection of a state flower, but
at a meeting of the state horticultural
society to be held at Hood River next
Tuesday the question is to be discussed,
A committee appointed especially for the
purpose of considering this matter will
then make its report and some decisive
"stepwiir probably be taken.. ."
Returning tourists from Alaska are en
chanted with the glories and scenic won
ders of the far north; . At midnight as
far south as Chilcnt, it is now possible to
read without artificial light, ami, the
Taku and Mnir glaciers awaken never
ceasing admiration." That country is
yearly becoming more of nn objectfve
point for tourists."

Tho bell ruioil in tho roof of the hnn
motive cab t signal the 'rtiffineer wllen
to stop and stiirt will noon - be a Cfcmic of
the past. 'A new air train nitfTial ia faftt
taking tho place of the bolt or gong aarl
already all the passenger coachon on the
Lake Shore and Wabaah railmadM are
equipped with the air signal instead of
the ljell. The air signal is workeil lv
means of a small rubber or iron tribe
that runs under the coaches, like the air
pipes to work the air brakes. In the
locomotive cab there is an iron whistle
and when the conductor desires to stop
the train he pulls on a short rope or lever
that allows the air to escape and the
whistle in the cab sounds the signal. It
is claimed that this is much superior to
the bell arrangement, for the reason that
it works better on a long train.
The bell sometimes failed to respond
on long- trains, and serious accidents oc
curred on that account. " The bell rope
was also a handy thing for train robbers
to cut in order to prevent an alarm while
they were looting the wealth of the pas
sengers. , The other leading railroads of
the country will adopt the air train sig
nal as soon as they can get it attached
to their coaches. ' The New York Cen
tral. Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio
and the Big Four are having the new
system of signaling the engineer ' at
tached to their trains. New Vork.TeJe

A Itemnrkable Court ICecortl.
Tho jury on one case in the Biddeford
supreme judicial court disagreed last
week, and Judge Virgin improved the
opportunity to give them his opinion of
a jury that could not agree in words
which he said he would utter slowly, as
he wished to measure them.
After scolding them a little the judge
said 'that in the eighteen years he had
held court in York county only fonr
disagreements h;id been reported out of
400 cases." This is not'a bad record.

A woman died recently iu an alms
house in Maine at the age of oue hundred
years. She had been an inmate of the
institution for thirty years, and during
that period she had been, it is said, laid
out as dead three times, hut on each
occasion she came to life in time to pat
a stop . to the funeral arrangements.
I Only a few days before her death an
undertaker was called to prepare her re
mains for burial, but when he arrived
she was sitting up in bed. Philadelphia

Air Plows..
A V shaped contrivance, to be placed oh
the front of. engines of fast express
trains, is the latest scheme to get more
speed, by overcoming much of the nat
ural resistance of the air to the front of
the locomotive. " The plow extends from
a few inches- above the track to the top
of the smokestack, the" sharp edge of
course in front. "Shoveling fog is a
common - - expression among railroad
men, but plowing wind .is a new thing
