Mr.. HALE made the point of order that the
amendment was not germanc, that 1t was new
legislation, and that it did not rctrcnch ex.
penditures.
After lengthy discussion the CHAIR (Mr.
spRINGER) ruled that 1t was germanc to the
bill, because 1t prescribed certain duties to be
performed by the army officers. He sustained
the point OF order that II was new legislation,
but upon its face it would retrcnch expend.
lures, rs 1t abolished certain Offices aud con.
ierred their duties upon officers now in service.

q IeetIe Too Modest,

A lady on the North Side. wishing to test
the merits of DIR. Bulls Cough Syrup, thought
1t would never do to as the druggist in the
name Of Bull" Why, dear me- she couldn't
say Bull to save her life aud called at last on
a neighbor woman for suggestions on the mat
ter. DR.. Cows, DR.. Calls, DR.. Bufralos, and
DR.. Oxen's Syrup were all mentioned. The
latter suited. "lcs, that will do--Dr. Oxen
the very thing; the druggist will under
stand that" A walk Of two squares found
her at the counter Of DR.. 1T-s store, when
the following dialogue occurred:
II wish bottle Of Dr. Oxen's Cough
syrup
DIR. Oxen-Oxen-why, ma'am, don't he
licve keep that. You mean Cox's Hive Syr-
up, don't your"
"Oh, no! / mean, mean DR.. Oxen" and
then she seemed wrapped in solemn thought
for moment, when bright idea seemed to
hcam forth Hasn't Dr.. Oxen got a relation

Oh, yes you mean DIR. Bulls Cough Syr-

INTRODUCTORY FRENCH LESSONS. BASED on Tue
WORKS or DR.. EMIL OTTO. By EDWARD >. JONES lzmo
pp. 275 Henry Holt Co.
In this convenient manual, which forms part
of the JoyneOtto French series, the editor has aimed
at presenting the essential elements OF the language
in a simpler, and at the same time, more complete
and systematic form than has usually been attempted
for elementary teaching. Some OF the more di1icult
points Of grammar, especially the treatment OF dlom
both French and English have been placed in o new
light which will repay careful study. Although es-
pecay adapted to the of the beginner the work
follows the methods of a sound scholarship ana VIII DC
found to meet the wants ofthe mere advanced student
especially as a valuable authority for occasional refer
ence The volume is furnished with abundant examples
and exercises copious vocabulary, and an excellent
index more useful guide TO the elements OF french
grammar can scarcely he found among the multitude OF
textbooks and the student who has mastered Its con-
tents will have slight progress in the know
edge of the French language.
