MASONIC DIsCIPLINE.-A Western paper
gives the following as al illustration OF the
Masonic idea OF discipline A Masonic
lodge In Indiana was presided over by
master who had An exaggerated notion OF
discipline. One night he met his lodge 10

instruct them In the work. Teaching them
the use OF the gravel, he had just called
them up with three knocks when he leaned
too far back, fell through the window to
the ground -four stories and broke his neck.
Picked up next morning, he was buried
decently. but not Mason came TO the iu-
neral. More strange still. not Mssoa ap-
pesred any more Ia that village. IL was
inexpllcable- Forty women left widows,
220 children left orphans.s4 merchants left
in the lurch with unpaid bills. Twenty
years after that somebody went up Into the
fourth story, broke open the door, and be-
held the lodge-a lodge Of skeletons.
Strange, but true, they had strictly obeyed
the orders OF the W. NJ, and waiting for
the knock TO seat them, starved to death.
Each was standing In an attitude Of respect
full attention, looking 10 the east, and
had not plying citizens taken them down

AMERICAN USE OF CONsONANT SOUNDS.
A writer objects to my censure Of
Americans speech because In speaking
they pay ITO much attention TO the utter.
ance OF consOnant sounds" He says that
''the chief diierance between slovenly. in
distinct enunciation, and clear, distinct
enunciation. is mainly difference In the
attention given to consOnants." This gain.
is quite true. as any intelligent person will
see upon a moments reflection. For 1t
chiefly by consonants that words have
form. and that speech becomes clear and
Ineligible. But the terms used by this
critic are not convertible The attention
given to consonants' is one thing, the ut
terance of consOnant sounds" quite anoth-
er. Strictly speaking, pure consonant
cannot be '.sttered." The junction Of the
cousouant is to check the Inference or the
giving out of the voice. Ii Is by their In
terruption Of the vowel sounds, In which
only the voice Is given out, that CO nsonants
break up words into syllables and pro-
duce articulate' that Is. iointed speech.
Without consonauts language would be as
formless as the believing OF bulls. The
articulation of words. Of English words at
least, should be clear, alDOst what we
call sharp. This gives speech crispness, .
quality much more apparent In British
bpchAluS VI EuSitSu lHdt III huttiCAu.
"Americans" are noted for slovenliness In
this respect. The great English pbono.
logist, Mr.. Alexander Ellis, remaI ked up
on this to me. He said. for example, that
very few Americans pronounced the r In
the middle Of words. but said ve-y for
very and Ameica for America. Whether
this is as generally true as he implied. l
shall not undertake to say, but Mr.. Ellis
has . delicate ear and Is q very careful OBJ
server. Defective as American speech
may be in this respect, however, its errs
greatly, on the other hand in the dwell
ing upon certain other positions; In the at
tempt to utter" them. to make much OF
them. more than the mere clear division
OF syllsbles; for example in the prolongat-
ion of n9 In words like "sing," and In say
ing often instead Orn or oftn. II Is to this
fault that meant to direct attention. II
was In error, and Americans have not
this fault. and do not speak as though they
had the spelling book In mind, so much
the better. at least am pleased, although
my counsels and my criticisms are scatter
ed to the ~inds.-[ RICHARD GRANT WHITE
