About Talking.

Among the common errors in the use
of language are these: The mispro-
nouncing of unaccented syllablcs, as
terruble for terrjble the omission Of q
letter or short syllable, as goin for go
ing and ev'ry for every; and the run
ming of words together without giving
to every one a separate and distinct pro-
nunciatiOn.

Here they took different streets, and
their conversation ceased. These boys
write their compositions dramatically
and might use good language and speak
it distinctly if they would try. But they

of it. Whenever they try to speak cor

Almost every one talks enough K

try to speak correctly on every occasion
soon find that the practice makes it jus

most common.

Fashionable Smuggling.

One lady who was relating to a
group of friends this morning her
shopping experience in England, tri-
umphantly declared that she had
bought three silk costumes at Marshall
e. Melgrave's, London, and that sh :
had them trimmed with three times
the quantity of pas:ementerie trim

avoid paying duty.

that she had purchased two dinner

Ten Cents Well Invested.

Not long ago a rich man died in
Brussels. leaving nearly all his fortune
to young woman who was entirely
unacquainted with him. This is how
it came TO pass: He was very &C.
centric man and set out Diogenes in
search of an honest man. His tub
was an omnibus and his lantern q
small coin. In The omnibus he used
to take his seat every day near the
conductor. and always showed himself
very obliging in passing up the money
Of passengers and returning the
change, but to the latter he always
managed to add franc or half franc.
Then he would watch those to whom
it came. They would count it care
fully, notice the extra coin, and inva-
riably slip it into their pockets. No
one had any thought of the poor con-
ductor, whose meager salary of three
francs day oenld i'll support such a
loss But at last young woman
passed hers back with Conductor,
you have given me half a franc too
much" Diogenes, delighted, followed
her home, made inquiries, and as the
answers were satisfactory, made his
will in her favor, though he never gave
her warning that her half franc was
going to bring her half million.

Oscar Milde,s ImItatOr.

When Oscar Wilde last lectured In
Chicago a young man named Donohue
was living there. He had strong
bent for sculpture, and his artistic
talent was backed up by shrewdness
and common sense. He had previously
managed to study for brief period IN
Paris, and specimen of his workman
ship had been admitted to the Salon.
Then his funds gave out and he had
to return precipitately to Chicago. He
opened studio there, but met with
little recognition or encouragement
The debit and credit ends of his &C
counts could not be made to meet by
very wide margin. His fortunes were
at a low ebb, AMI he was seriously
thinking of adopting some more re-
munerative occupation, when Oscar
Wilde arrived in the city and began
course of lectures. Dcnohue attended
one of his lectures and then called
upon him. He invited Oscar to visit
his studio and pass judgment upon his
work. The aesthetic felt flattered at
the compliment to his critical acumen.
He pronounced the specimens he saw
excellent. Donohue then told him his
story. Oscar Wilde at his next lee
ture upbraded the people of Chicago
fer their lack of appreciation OF home
talent.
This naturally led to inquiries as to
who this budding genius could be who
had heretofore remained comparatively
unknown. 1t gradually leaked out that
Donohue was the man. Donohue was
sharp enough to see his opportunity.
He was naturally of a jovial and
sociable temperament, and had no
sympathy with the affectaton of as
thetcism, but he perceived that in
order to win his point he must eds
semble." He HE'D him to tailor and
had made a suit of clothes of fantastic
cut, including pair of trousers of the
tightest possible fit. He banged his
har. He contorted his features into
an expression of woebegone melan-
choly. His brow was corrugated as
though with the intensity of his as
perations for the ideal. He attitud-
inized in public places and got himself
talked about. He succeeded all the
better because he had a fine figure
and was good-looking. "Who is
that id OF" was frequently asked
by curious observers; and the
number daily increased of those who
were able to answer: THAT is the ge-
MUS who was discovered by Oscar
Wilde" And so it befell that he at
tracted the attention of rich mer-
chant in Chicago, who made Don ohue's
acquaintance. became convinced that
the opportunity was good one for the
investment of a small portion of his
superfuous wealth, and offered to pay
Dononue $500 year for five years,
during which period he was to study
sculpture in Europe, only stipu-
lating that in return he should re-
ceive the best piece of work that the
young artist might produce in the in
term. Donohue eagerly accepted the
proposition and is now in Taris, where
it is needless to say his features have
assumed their wontad expression OIL
careless good humor. and the CARL
which he once wore as the insignia Of
blighted genius has been relegated tC
the most obscure corner of his ward
robe. But Oscar Wilde and Donohu'
remain good friends.
