Those marble days have come
the maddest of the year. The days
when the successful young gam
bler's pockets gingle, in school and
out, with his rich store; the days
when more boys are late to school
than during any other part of the
year; the days when more are late
home "because they had to stay
after school, and blockade the
sidewalk; the days when glorious
lessons are learned by the rising
generation, of how to bet and win
at cards, elections, and even with
the great glass blow-gun. What
grand exercise it is, bringing into
play as it does the muscles of one
entire thumb and q whole tongue.
How graceful the position, like the
bended bow of promise in the
clouds. How beautiful and sweet
the language. How harmonious
the hearts.

EDUCATIONAL.

Among the sources of common
errors of speech, there is perhaps
none more fruitful than baby talk.
The little infant from the first is
often introduced to a mass of lingo
of senseless jargon that an unini-
tiated adult would find it hard to
comprehend. The words he hears
are pronounced in the most mar
ticulate manner, on high key, and
indeed in such a way as to give
him to understand that Babel is let
loose, and he must be its conquer
or. lie is a lucky fellow indeed if
he is sharp enough to find out his
own name during the first five
years of his life. He must gener-
ally trim off the die" or "y," or
"ooty," or "hooty," or something
worse before he finds out who he
is, and so with the long list of
"doggies," and ''bossies," and "pig-
gies," etc, together with the names
Of his brothers, and sisters, and
friends, he must unlearn them all,
all that were susceptible of mu-
tation,-and learn them over again.
1t takes ten times as long to un-
learn bad habit and learn a good
one in its place, as many a one
knows to his sorrow, as it does to
learn properly at first. Where is
the man who endeavors to use his
language in its purity, that does not
regret almost every day Of his life
incorrect pronunciation, inaccu-
racies of speech, violations of the
plainest rules of grammar, all hab-
its that, in early life, fastened them
selves to him like barnable, and
will remain there till the end of
life? Lessons in language seem to
be pasted on the mind in sheets one
over or outside the other. The
first are nearest the great center
of thought, and memory longs to
seize them. They are the most
handy; memory may tear the bad
to pieces: may break it into frag-
ments, but the imprisoned rubbish
still remains. Over this rubbish
memory will ever stumble in its
daily, tardy search for better words,
better pronunciation, and more cor
rect forms of speech. He who is
accustomed to correct language
from early youth, like Macaulay,
never have any need to study gram
mar. If this one first great source
of bad pronunciation and bad
grammar, this great generator of
looseness in language, this sense
less Choctow jargon called baby
talk, could be once eradicated, it
requires no philosopher to see that
the rest would be comparatively
easy. Plain, simple language, pro-
nounced in the plainest, simplest
manner,-this, and this alone,
should the children hear. Give
them no words but the genuine.
Humbugs enough they will find in
heir long journey through life af-
.er they have left the paternal roof.

Business for Ladies'.

Our attention has been called to a
new article for the use OF ladies, the
invention Of which has conferred an
everlasting blessing upon every lady.
We refer to the Queen City skirt
suspsnder for supporting ladies'
skirts, the most desirable and bene-
fetal article ever invented for the re-
lief Of women, many Of whom have
suffered years Of miserable health
caused solely by carrying the weight
of o number of heavy skirts, complet-
ely dragging them down. Some
thing to support ladies' is absolutely
necessary. These suspenders are
recommended by our leading ply
sicans to all ladies and young girls.
Every lady should have them They
are sold only through lady agents.
A splendid opportunity is offered to
some reliable lady canvasser!of this
county to secure the agency of .
pleasant and,profitable business. For
terms and territory write at once to
the Queen City Suspender Company,

Kensington Palace, where We spent
some time in the grounds, Is q dingy
building, and has few external fea-
lures of beauty, but was the hOme OF
rhe Duke and Duchess of Kent, and
Victoria was born here in 1919. The
par ks are OF immense size, and filled
with ancient trees, etc. The Crystal
palace is about nine miles from Lon
don. Its gardens and fountains are
beautiful, and used for amusements
every Wednesday evening".
We visited the observatory at Green
wich, where longitude and latitude
are made up for the world. I rode
several times on the river Thames, the
elevated railroad and the underground
railroad, and visited the noted prison,
the tower of London, some parts OF
which were used in the reign
of Henry III. In 1915, in this
prison, Sir Walter Raleigh wrote
his history of the world. Lord
Guilfnrd, the husband of Lady
Jane Grey, and the Earl of afford,
Arch bishop Land, Sir Henry Vane,
Thomas Moore, and others, were be-
headed here. We stood on the spot,
viewed the block axe, and one OF
our party laid their head on the block
to see If the sensation was pleasant.
The tower is replete with gloomy and
fearful events and would fill vOlnme.
We went into the secret passages, tor
ture rooms and dungeons, visited
traitors gate, bloody tower, and too
many places to mention. The rooms
are full OF SHIELDS, armOr, guns, dag
gers, swords, knives, spurs, whips,
maces, axes, ETC., of many centuries,
which are used to decorate the walls,
and are placed in most elegant designs.
We visited the jewel tower, where are
preserved crowns, etc., back to the
year 1900.
1 spent one day at Westminster
Abby. This church is ancient and
full of interest. It was built six CEN
turtles ago, and is full of chapels,
choirs, strands, aisles, etc. saw the
tombstones of Shakespeare, Milton,
Livingston, Dickens, aud hosts OF 9TH
ers. One part of the church is called
poets corner, on account of SO many
poets being buried there.
guess this is as much as you will
want to read at one time. London, in
my eyes, does not compare with Paris,

letter. MRS. j. NJ. GREENE.
