THE MISSING LINK OF ENGL1sH.-The
St. Louis Republican says that bids
for the supply of the missing pronoun
have not come in very numcrously
since that journals recent ADVERTISE
mcnts for propositions. The atlantic
Monfhty, however, acknowledges the
receipt Of two proposals, Of which
both are old ones revived. One is q
compound of the two pronouns now
used for men and women, which is to
be declined: Hesh, hiser, himmcr, and
it is stated that in 1872 an agreement
was circulated among and numerously
signed by that class Of literary people
who imagine those sort of reforms in
language can be brought about in that
way, pledging the subscribers to use
hcsh, hizcr and himmcr thereafter.
The other suggestion is che, cher's,
cher, which was first introduced in
1851 or 1852. but docs not seem to have
made much progress in the affections
of good writer's. The fact is the Eng
lish language is a complete philologi-
cal structure, and despite onr full
knowledge Of its deficiencies, it is like
!y to remain incomplete so long as time
itself endures. No language, and the
English almost less than any other,
can be built and fashioned to order
and we have to make the best we can
Of what we have, and trust to luck for
all improvements.

PRoFUNDITY.-"Any society that
forcgocs the claims that properly OBJ
tain to the social aggregation so that
the individual interests are alone re-
garded, at the expense of the commu-

accidental human aggregation, with

profound observation. The exact

The "Salic law' is supposed to
have been derived from code estab-
liShcd by tie Salii in Gaul. but how
ever this may be, the phrase describes
II "cnstomary law" always respected
in France, that excluded women from
the throne, except when regents or
qnccn-consors, and princes claiming
through females, rs in the case Of The
English Plantcgcncts, whose claim is
very fairly set forth in the second
scene of the first act of "Ilcnrv ""
The Salic law was enforced in other
countries, and under it Queen Victo-
ria was excluded from the throne of
Hanover. 1t also obtained in Spain
until 1880, when il was set aside i'm
favor Of Isabella III. Don Carlos, tho
next heir, claimed that it could not be
abolished, and tnat he was the lawful
successor to tho throne. The Carlist
risings have been made to enforce this
claim Of male succession on behalf of
Don Carlos and his descendants. 1t
is only among civilized nations that
such law usually prevails. Among
barbarians, and especially in Africa,
the succession is often on the female il,
preference to the male side, as the
Legitimacy Of Inheritance through the
mother cannot be questioned.

self urged it upon you, only to see you
turn away with careless air, as if you
hardly gave it thought"
Eva blushed. "Oh, now know what
you mean" she said.
Listen, my dear young lady," said the
minister, kindly. Hear it once more
from my lips before you go out into the
gay world. A home is offered to you
from which you need go no more out.
This home is beautiful beyond compari-

to love and serve the One who invites
you to live in it. The service will be
easy, the wages are good. Everything is
made ready for you; you have friends
there who will be glad to welcome you.
The only thing to be decided is this j:
Will you go?"
The girl shook her head. "I am afraid
to say Yes, she said. II am not good
enough"
THAT is not the question" said the
minister. 1.-The Lord Jesus Christ knows
you even better than you know yourself.
He asks you to come to Him just as you
are. You understand the message, and
the decision must rest with you. Will
you go?"
Eva grew pale, and an earnest prayer
went up from her heart to God. Then
she raised her head and said, firmly, al
will-God helping me, will"

The Application OF Fertilizers.

Perhaps something more may yet be
learned in regard to the application OF
fertilizers and their supposed propensity
20 waste Certainly facts like the fol-
lowing are suggestive as well as in
structive: In West Springfield is a
field of corn of about three acres, that
stands remarkably well and has been
ncticeably vigorous all the season. On
inquiry, we learned that on about one
third of this piece fresh stable manure
was spread in mldwinter, when il was
drawn. On another third the manure
was piled, and spread at the time OF
blowing, as is the usual way. On the
balance of the field common mixture
of fish and potash was applied. The
proprietor tells us that the superiority
of the first style of treatment was plain
" visible all through the early stages Of
its growth, and that this accords with
his previous experience. If that is SO,
il upsets some of the theories of the So
called professors of agriculture. The
idea has been prevalent that manures
are injured by exposure 10 air and frost,
and consequently they are often housed

pillow them in, lest some of their

and Others harrow them in. through

fork over their manures several times,
believing that it pays. and others
mingle it with the soil by frequent
plowings. The corn-grower above re-

mony can be relied on. An opportunity

The Status Of the Briceland-Clator Chal-

The statement 10 the effect that Ola
tor and Briceland would row over the
upper course is false, but the prospects
for a race are fair.
Briceland says that he will row Ell. a
three mile race on the lower course for
$500 a side and toss for positions, In
other words regular fair and square
professional three mile race with no pro-
visions about it whatever.
He also SAYS that Ed. wants every.
thing his own way, and that he has
through his representative offered to
row a three mile race, giving Clator the
West Virginia side, or TO row five mile
race, water to be agreed upon and CIator

now off and the challenge is square
one.
Ed. Clator says that he will not en-

shell arrives as the ones he now has are

Leasure man before the season is over,
aud then some fun may be looked for
With his record he could not we'll afford
not to do 80. Mr.. Briceland has been

to see the race, and it is truly hoped
that the gentlemen may arrange for a
