CuT.WoRMs.- One Of your correspondents
inquired OF Hon. George Geddes if salt is an
antidote to cut-worms. The reply was that
enough salt to kill the worms would kill the
corn also, and that the only remedy for cut
worms was to kill them. Now, both parts
of The answer may be true, but the question
was not correctly answered, il the inquirer
meant to ask il salt would prevent cut
worms from eating corn. I assert that it
will, and that the application OF it is easy,
safe, and cheap. My assertion is based
on the results of a great many trials,
made by q great many different persons
during the last fifteen, or more, years. A
cut-worm will live long time covered over
in salt. / have tried that experiment. His
hide il too tough and dry for salt 10 affect

salt it is, clearly, not because the salt hurts
him through his skin. The discoverer of
salt as q remedy for the cutting of corn by
worms (Mr. Chalkley Harvey, of Chadd's
Ford, Delaware county, Pa.,) thinks that
the salt enters the plant and makes it unpal-
atabie to the 'cut-worms. That is probably
the explanation. His plan, which is always
successful, is TO sprinkle about tablespoon
full of salt on the hill soon after the corn has
been planted.
He published his experience In various ag-.
ricultural and other papers, every spring,
for number OF years, aud the practice has
become quite well established in the coun-
ties where he is known. ! asked him, a few
years ago, if the discovery was becoming

IMITATION OF AN ENGLISH VOWEL, by ). ).
HALDFaAN, PROFESSOR OF COMPARATIVE FIJI
Lo1,oGY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA.
The somewhat rare Celtic vowel OF III fat
occurs 10 Irish and Welsh, and when present
in European dialects it is probably due to
Celtic influence, as ia Suabian, and in its
French nasal form in 0in. 1t does not me-
cessariIy occur in the same word where it is
present, for the Irish word cat "a cat) has
the sound of the English cot. 1t Is
well established in English, where from
its affinity with the OF ebb, the two present
many interchanges, as in "cag" and keg,
..nash" and mesh lot nett. where mash is
the vulgar and etymologic form. and is jnsti-
fled by DR.. Johnson. In certain localities
we bear s.scelp" and ''hey'' for scalp and
have. The Professor then showed the con-
nection of this mutation with early Saxon
and Plattdcutsch forms and followed with
long list of examples from which only few
Of the more familiar English instances will
be selected.
"Agg," to egg on, is the. popular pronun.

elixir start with the same particle; so also

there is a stream called Alum creek concern.
ing which it is uncertain whether it took lis
name from the elms on its banks or the alum
in it's waters. In the case Of ambassador and
embassy, the erroneous EN- for am in the lat
ter word is due to Spanish Influence. Emir

met, appearance and apparent, apt and

"An irous man is like frcntick best,''
the words 'irous man. being very easily

Wordsworth has the lines:
The wild-woods fruits to gather
A crest Of blooming heather,
intending to rhyme, which can only be
done by pronouncing gather as it were geth-
er, as it is in the word together. Ginseng is
pronounced ginsang in the parts of Eastern
Tennessee where it is gathered, but, said
Professor Haldeman, ifyou were to ask them
how they spelled it, they'd tell you they
didn't spell it at all, they just pulled it up.
The pronunciation Of vendue as vandue in
many localities was noted in discussion
which followed the reading of this paper,
the Professor said that the~use made Of ven
