A CURIOUS BOOK.

Mr.. Kwong Kl Chin, late member
Of the Chinese educational mission in
he United States, has Published a
very cnrions volume, dictionary Of
English phrases,a bulky work OF nigh
800 vo. ages. In This laborious
work, which is very useful and full OF
matter. Mr.. Kwong has taken all our
diomatic, coll3quial and slang phrases
and interpreted them in correct Eng
fish. The effect of seeing all these
familiar sentences, which we use con-
stantly every day, dressed up, so to
speak, in their "Sunday 60 to meet
ing" equivalents, is quaint beyond
measure. The book furnishes syl-
dence of the matter of fact literalness
Of the Chinese miud, which, indeed,
ttfloresces into elaborate metaphor,
but cannot comprehend the crisp D II.
gency of idiomatic phrases. But Mr.
Kwong's English would simply drive
society crazy in week if they we're
forced to use it to the exclusion Of al

when the antecedents of Bridget come
to be considered the wonder is not
that anything should be done badly,
bat that so much should be done WELL
She remarks that ''you may think that
nothing can be worse than your Irish
girl until you get an African one !"
that the Swede is only good while she
is fresh !; that the sprightliness of the
French maid is as aggravating in it's
way, and that the stolidity of the Ger
man makes you long for BridgeL's blair
