sA SURRENDER to England for which
our laborers will have to pay in disaster
and deprivation say the manufacturers,
of an attempt to reduce the tariff. 1t is
singular these manufacturers never think
of the fearful results to the laborer when
the factories are shut down so as to Gre
ate an artificial scarcity and thus run
prices up. But when the prices are made
to advance by this means, wages do not
follow and the laborer who has suffered
''disaster and deprivation" receives no
compensation for his enforced idleness.

A MARYLAND ROMANCE.

Nearly two years ago there came strnn.

Cecil County, Nd, asking for home for q
few weeks until he could receive some It'd
ings from nm uncle living in Sumatra. His
request was granted. Weeks wore on, and
no news from the PARKWAY uncle, time pass
ing pleasantly though, especially to the
farmer and his wife, for in the stranger they
found a highly educated and refined man,
he often entertaining them with accounts Of
his travels, and being q proficient perform.
err on the violin, often made the hours glide
by more pleasantly than they otherwise
would in the little farmhouse But time
went on; weeks rolled into months the
German becoming oftentimes moody and
lbstiacted in fact, he would oftentimes
remark that, AS the circumstances were,
It looked as though he was an imposter !;
that he had no proof to show them what he

Of August Gone year ago. cablegram came
requesting him to leave America and come
10 India Immediately. He started of once,
she farmer and his wife accompanying him
to New York. While with them he often
limited that the time would some time come
when he could and would surprise them
with something that would recompense them
for the kindness shown him while in Their
home. To cut long story short, about 81,
weeks ago there came message across The
sea, saying 6 The time had already com,
Tint he could make some return for the
kindness and hospitality shown him while
n stranger in strange land His uncle,
who was a millionaire, had died and left

PLEA FOR SLANG.

All languages have been expanded anc
enriched by slang, and it would not be too
much to say that all figurative speech con
sists either of authorized or of unauthorized
slang.
The verb "to monkey" which is only
year or two old, and liz as yet pure slang, is
evidently to become in course of time
legitimate expression. Its primary meaning
is to busy ones self in ways other than
utilitarian. The amateur painter or must
cian g monkeys with art, and the political
theorist who invents impracticable reforms
may be said to monkey" with politics,
The verb is occasionally used as a synonym
for the expression ssto busy one's self "
with anything, but it cannot legitimately
be used Of honest, useful work, except when
such work is either badly done or is under.
taken as q recreation rather than as legiti
mate business.
Who invented the verb TO monkey y
will probably never be known, but the in
sentor !" monkeyed with the English lan-
suage better than he knew. The word is so
full of meaning, and differs by such delicate
and subtle shades from the legitimate words
most closely related to il in meaning, that
it will win its place in the ranks of grave
and regular language. Already it has
assembled from the sidewalk aud is met with
growing frequency though as yet clad in
quotation marks--in the columns of news.
papers. Our descendants will usa ii with.
out thought of improperly.
A still more recent example of slang is the
lronical request of the street boy to con.
ceited and boastful opponent to come of
the roof" The request needs no explana.
ton. It is vivid and picturesque. The
world is full of men who might properly be
requested to leone off the roof"
There is field of study offered to the
nhilologist in current slang which is worth
cultivation. The slang of the street is to 4
large extent the language of the future. II
is the survival of the fittest of slang words
and expressions thai makes language. The
philologist who will lay aside his dignity,
"come off the roof" and monkey" with
slang will find himself abundantly repaid

WHY SUNDAY Ia A "GooD THING

You sleep late on Sunday morning, after
the tolls of the week and that is perhaps
right. You rise to day of leisure and en-
foyment; and it is proper enough to make
Sunday day of enjoyment. You go te
the house of God and it is very charming
to hear the music. You are intellectually
fed; and there is great pleasure in that. II
the discourse is highly adorned, on taking
your leisurely walk home you say: 1t
was very well put It was rather an ingen-
ious argument. ! do not know as l even
heard these ideas expressed just in that way
before. The peroration was eloquent. We
nave q minister now that is worth listening

You sleep through the night, and rise or
Monday morning feeling, "What gooe
thing Sunday is /" But you plunge into
the world and there is the same selfshnefs
in it that there was before, Men are good
bad, and Indifferent" you say; 81 must
attend to myself; must protect myself
against this one; must overtear that one
if he stands in my way" So you go tear
ing here, hitting there, shifting in every
direction rushing one way and another like
civilized lion among children, leaving do

vocation as the case may bell. W. Beech.

TURTLES CLAD IN SILK.
a New Diversion for the Little Folks.

Some of the young misses in Bordentown
have lately been obtaining some innocent
turtles from the neighboring brooks and
ponds in this vicinity through the slillful
manipulations of their male acquaintance,
and adopting these turtles as pets, giving
them names and dressing them in the most
unique and fantastic manner. If one young
miss called upon another she was very apt
to take her pet turtle to visit that of her COM
panion. On Tuesday afternoon of this weei
fashionable turtle party occurred at resi-
dence on Park street, to which all of these
pet turtles were invited. 1t was quite
brilliant Affair." Considerable time and ex
pense had been lavished upon the turtles to
make them appear we'll and attractive for
he occasion. One aristocratic miss turtle,
called Venus" did not attend, although
invited, after having her party dress made

HEAVY LIFE INSURANCE.
The Large Policies TINT are Carried By
Some Rich Men.


Not very long ago the British life insur
ance companies were called upon, within
the short space of one year, to pay the enor-
nous sum of sc, 250, 900 on policies on the
lives of three heavily insured noblemen, viz,
she Duke of Newcastle, the Marquis of An
glesea, and the Earl of Fife and shortly
afterward the same companies paid 81 $50.
900 insurance on the lives of two noblemen,
making esgres..ts sum of 81. sen, Joe in
surance paid on five lives. About fifteen
years ago the heirs of Sir Robert Clifton re-
ceived from the life insurance companies OF
Great Britain 81, $50, 900, that being the
amount of insurance which he carried.
King Umberto of Italy is making efforts to
obtain insurance ON his own life for $780,
300. The Italian insurance companies re-
fused to take the risk and application was
made to English companies with no better
success King Umberto has comparatively
impoverished himself by paying his fathers
debts. Dom Pedro H., the Emperor of
Brazil, carries large life insurance in for
eign companies. Napoleon Ill. had an in.
surance of $500, 900 on his life, and this
was the chief reliance Of the Empress Eu
genie after the death. One English Earl
has his life insured for 81 900, 900, partly in
American companies.

A GOOD PLACE FOR A NEST.

John Burroughs describes in the Century
"The Tragedies of the Nests" and COM
mends the shrewdness Of the bobolink II
were bird,n he says, in building my
nest should follow the example Of the bob
olink, placing it in tie midst of broad
meadow, where there was no grass, OF
growth unlike another to mark its site. ]
Judge that the bobolink escapes the dangers
to which have adverted rs few or no other
birds do. Unless the mowers come along
ut an earlier date than she has anticipated
that is, before July LIST, or skunk goes nos
ing through the gross, which is unusual
she is MS safe as bird we'll can be in the great
open of nature. She selects the most mon
otonous and uniform place she can find
amids the daisies or the timothy and clover,
and places her simple structure upon the
ground in the midst Of it. There is no con-
cealment, except as the great conceals the
little, rs the desert conceals the pebble, as
the myriad conceals the unit. You may
find the nest once, il your course chances
to lead you across il and your eye is quick
enough TO note the silent brown bird as she
darts swiftly away; but step three PAGES in
the wrong direction, and your search will
probably be fruitless
