A few days ago farmer on the line
of the New York Central lost COW by q
collision with train, and started imme-
diately for the managers Office to effect
q settlement.
"I understand that she was thin and
sick, said the manager after the old man
had explained his business.
Makes no difference" replied the
farmer doggedly. She was COW, and
/ want pay for her."
How much ." asked the manager Ia
conically.
"Two hundred dollarsl" returned
the farmer,
"Now, look here, said the manager
kindly, "how much did the COW weight"
"About four hundred, I suppose, "an-
swered the farmer.
Sand wen say that beef is worth ten
cents pound ON the hoof."
"It's worth heap more than that on
the COW catcheri" retorted the old man.
"But Wen call it that, what then2"
"That makes 340," said the manager
quietly.

the old man.
"But how do you make the differ

0RTHOGRAPHICAL.

Newspaper readers who complain of
the lack OF uniformity in spelling the
geographical names, as well as names of
persons, brought into prominence by the
Anglo. Egyptian struggle, will perhaps
be enlightened, saysthe Alta Californian,
by being told that there is no estab-
lished method Of spelling such names in
Eu8lish. Maps and gazetteers are no
help, because they do not agree except
upon few very common names. The
Arabic and English (or Lstin) alphabets
are 80 radically different that no CORE
spondence whatever can be established
between the letters Of the two languages.
The Arabic is what is called consonant-
al alphabet, and originally the vowel
sounds were omitted in writing the Ian
guage, as they are in most systems of
shorthand writing in English. 1t is said
the FIRST vowel characters introduced into
the Arabic were used in copying the
koran, long after Mohammed's death. in
order to terminate certain disputes that
had arisen over the meaning of critical
passages. These vowel signs are placed
above or below the line; they do not in.
dicate all the vowel sounds, and are very
oiSen omitted entirely. In translating
an Arabic name into our alphabet, it is
necessary to go by the sound, and as
this permits many different arran ge-
mepts of letters TO represent the same
thing, the result is confusing. For ex-
ample, the name Of the canal that sup
plies Alexandria with fresh water Is
spelled in many diffsrent ways, of which
the following are . few. to,wit: Nah
msliah, Mahraoudiah, MamoudiAh, Ma.
mpiiah, MahmudeeAh, etc, eto., al d

which are attempts to represent the same
sound. II is the same way with pure
Egyptian and with Turkish names.
Lippincott's Gazetteer allows the name
of well known city in Armenia to be
spelled either Erzroom, Erzroum,
Erzrum, Erzeroum, Erzerum, or Arz-
room. Most of the geographical names
that figure in the war news are recorded
in no accessible authority. Every cur
respondent in the field must invent his
own spelling to represent the sound Of
the different names as well as he can. In
the total lack Of authority, and where
one spelling is as good rs another, the
only thing newspaper can do is to fix
upon some one way of spelling name
and stick to it.

Hallway Wrecks.

many, on the 81 inst, during the prevalence Of

they gradually sunk into the mire. large
uumber of people met their deaths by being
smothered in the mud. Latest accounts place
the number OF killed at 100. while the injured
number over $40. The calamity was caused by
a telegraph pole which was struck by lightning

contrary, brought forth the rebuke that
in all such cases he intended that the
sentence of the law should be carried

The Forgst-me.not.


There is favorite legend in Germany
of luck flower which admits its fortu-
nate finder into the recess of mountain
or castle, where untold riches invite his
grasp. Dazzled with 30 much wealth,
with which he fills HIS pockets and hat,
the favored mortal leaves behind him
the flower to which he owes his fortune,
and, as he leaves the enchanted ground
the words " Forget not the best Of all !"
reproach him for his ingratitude, and
the suddenly closing door either de-
scends ON one Of his heels and lanes
him for life, or else imprisons him for
ever. II Grimm Is right this is the ori-
gin of the word forget me-not, and not
the last word of the lover drowning in
the Danube, as he throws to his lady
love the flower che crayed Of him. The
tradition that the luck flower, OF key
flower, was blue, is inconsistent With the
fact that the primrose is the Schleussel-
or (key flower
