Language.

DIR. Wallis, who wrote upon English gram
mar in the reign of Charles ii, represented
it as n peculiar excellence of our tongue
that, beyond all others, it expressed the ma
ture of tho object which it names, by EN-.
plGying sounds sharper, softer, weaker.
stronger, moro obscure, or moro stridulous,
according as tho idea which is to be sug-
gested requires. lie gave various examples.
Thus, words formed upon 81 always denote
lirmness and strength, analogous TO tho
Latin sta as stand, stay, stop, steady, stake,
stamp, stately, and so forth. Words be-
ginning with str intimate violent furco and
energy, analogous to the Crock stronnami
as strive, strength, strike, stripe, stress
struggle, stride, stretch, strip, &c tn,
implies fOrcible motion; throb, throw
thrust, through, thraldom. Wr, obInquv.
or distortion; as wry, wrest, wiring, wreath.
wrong, wraugie, wrath. Sc. SIC. silent ag
itation or lateral motion. as SWAY. swing.
sweep, swim. 81, gentle fall, or loss OBJ.
servablc emotion slid. sly, slit slow, slack.
sling. Sp dissipation or expansion; as
spread, sprout, sprinkle, split, spill, spring.
Ierminations in ash indicate something
acting nimbly and sharply as crash. cash.
rash. flash, lash, slash. Examinations in
ush, something acting more obtusely and
duly; as crush, brush, hush, gush, blush.
Tho learned author produced great many
moro examples of tho same kind, which
seem to leave no doubt that tho analopies
of sound have had some influence on the
formation of words. At the same time in
all speculations Of this kind, there is SO
much room for fancy to operate, that they
ought to be adopted with much caution in
forming any general theory.

Save Your Earnings,

The practice which apprentices, clerks
and others have of spending their earnings
as fast as they accumulate, is one great
reason why so many never attain posi-
ton above mediocrity in life. A person
who receives but small compensation for
his services. will, with little care over
his exchequer, and system of regularity
in his expenditures, find that at the end
OF the year he is prepared to encounter
any emergency or mishap. But as a gen
eral thing, they manage to get rid Of their
earnings quite as quick as they are due,
thus leaving them wholly unprepared for
emergencies, by sickness or otherwise
A system of curtaIling unnecessary ex.
penses, if adopted by our younger folks,
would bring around the most happy and
gratifying results, and be the means of
raising to eminence and standing in soci,
ETY., many who have now contracted the
habit of parting with their earnings so
readily and so foolishly--for the habit of
keeping continually in debt begets indiff-
erence and dissipation, lack of self,res-
pect, and an utter disregard for future
prospects. The real cause for a great
deal of crime may be traced to the habit
Of foolish expenditure OF money in early
days.--Al6any Transcript.

The MIDDLE AGEs.-A History of Pro-
gress in Great Britain, Just published,
gives some curious statistics. The early in
habitants of the islos made but two meals
q day; slight breakfast in tho forenoon,
and supper which atoned for their matu-
final abstinence. Wood, earthen-ware, or
osior supplied the dishes. and horns or shells
the drinking vessels ut the primitive repasts
of wood stained or skinclad diners. Agri.
culture has flourished and faded, much in
tho same way from Queen Doadcea to
Queen Victoria. In one respect the middle
ages people showed themselves more dainty
than their descendants. In 1906 the King
was potitioned to stop the smoke by pro.
hbiting the burning of coal. Burning sea.
coal was at one time capital offence, and
in the reign Of Edward !. man was exc
cuted for it.

A HERMIT Doa.-Report speaks OF 4

A HERMIT Doe.-Report speaks Of
Newfoundland dog who has been seen
and heard lately at the foot Of precipice
on the Niagara River. Just below the Sus-
pension Bridge on the Canada side. The
precipice is some two hundred feet high,
and the ledge at the foot, upon which the
animal is said TO be, is inaccessible except
by mechanical assistance. He is supposed

fish and small animals on his "beat,"
which is only half R mile in length. His
bowling lamentations from his rocky re-
treat are often heard at midnight, and a
daring attempt TO approach and save him.
was rendered fruitless by his ferocity.-
An additional romance has been thrown
around his fate by the story that he be-
moans the loss of his master-lost by the
same catastrophe which placed him in his
present position.

Where the Strength Lies.

Whore is the strength aud safety of
people: Is it in their multitude? Look
at Europe, and behold the million the sport
of tho fcw-iook at the nations and races,
tramplod by tithe of their numbers in the
dust-look at the myriad slaves whom
thousand tyrants and taskmen scourge in
the fields, and camps and dungeons. The
strength of a people is not alone in multi.
tudes. Is it in the power of revolutions and
massacres. or in the bayonets they can fling
to the CLEAN OF the sun? Did bayonets save
Rome-did they save Poland, and Hungary,
and France, and Germany to tho people:-
The strength and safety of a people lio in
their knowtcdge Of their rights, and their.
union in defense Of them. Ignorant and dis
united, the greater the number the greater
the danger of people. They fall upon and
destroy themselves. In their hands bayo.
nets become suicidal. Give people a true
knowledge of themselves and no power can
oppose them. Liberty comes with inteli-
gence, and tho unarmed, intelligent million
aro stronger than ignorant, armed millions.
The strength of tho American people lies
least in the number of their cannon and
most in their school.houses, newspapers and
books. These are indestrrctible weapons,
to which age adds knowledge and night
and armed with these, We are safer aud
stronger than soils bristling with murderous
steel. Armed with these, millions lean to-
gether, and strike nightly. but bloodessly
as one man, through the ballot-box.

Quenching Thirst.

Nearly hundred years ago Dr.. Lind
TO Captain Kennedy that thirst
might be quenched at sea by dipping the
in salt water and putting it on
without wringing. Subsequently, the
Captain on being cast away had an
of making the experiment.
With great difficulty he succeeded in per-
suating part OF the men to follow his
example, and they all survived, while the
four who refused and drank salt water
became deirious and died. In addition
TO putting oD the clothes while wet night
and morning, they may be wetted while
on two or three times during the day
Captain X. goes on to say: "Aiter these
operations we uniformly found that the
violent drought went off. and the parched
tongue was cured in few minutes after
bathing and washing our clothes, while
we found ourselves as much refreshed as
if we had received soma actual nourish.
ment." The bare possibility Of the truth
Of the statement makes it humanity for
any paper to give it wide publicity,
since there are not many readers in every
hundred who may not go to sea and be
shipwrecked. We personally know that
wading in water quenches thirst, and very
few readers can remember being thirsty
while bathing at sea. shore, or while
swimming in our rivers. When the fear

membered and the more fearful madness
