A pRoNoUEcING EXERCISE.

A little company may find instruction as
well as amusement In pronounclng the italI-
cized words In the exercise below. They
are common words, but quite liable to be
mispronounced Let some one hold die
tionary for reference, and see how many
can go through the list correctly:
As Daniel was on his way to the depot
one February morning he saw a flaming
advertisement pasted upon the wall with
some adhesive cement, setting forth the de-
lights of knowledge of microscopy, and
giving microscopic illustrations. 1t also ad-
vised that every body should learn teleg-
rapHy. As he stood con-idering the mat

stopped also "This is ell folly" said he

which is going to work such wonders.
Don't you think so?" he asked, turning
to Daniel. But before Daniel could reply
to his interrogation another man came along
and began to tell them of camelopard
which had been sent him and also of a
tardntuId which had just arrived from
chihuahua in Mexico. He advised them
to invest their finances in visit to mis- nau-
scum; but his hospitable offer was declined
because they feared espionage upon their &C.
tions, and it would be a grieuous thing if
they should leave their business for pleas
ure and not one of them was a connoisSeur
in such things. So they separated. Dsn-
iel's route lay through region of great
squGlor, and he was glad when the
cars came along and he had started on
his journey. As he was riding along he
saw an exquisite sight mirage upon the
western horizon. At the end of the JOUR-
ney he met the telegraphist and the meteor
oJogist, who, with coadjator with whom
they had an ndissot,tble partnership, had
gone another way. They all went together
to look at suite of rooms occupied by a
colpo7teur. The acoustic properties were 80
bad that they had 20 spend some time in

back they met prestidigitator, whose feass
provoked their riSibuities, and one of them

finale. They all turned and went their
separate ways.

rooms at The Grange she finds them fuller
than she had anticipated where all these
people can have come from is the first
thought. Pullingbsm, in her eyes, had not
appeared large enough TO contain one-half
of them, yet after careful scrutiny she
confesses to herself that no face here is I'M
familiar. Every one seems a little sur
prised, and good deal glad to see her.
Her child is caressed and petted to her
hearts content, until May and Edith
Vyvyan carry her eff bodily. The hostess
rustles up to Mrs. Stamer, and makes
much of her, and says something about
George, whereupon Captain Black wood as
serts himself and takes Mrs. Stamer to the
upper end of the room, where window
opens upon scene replete with moonbeams
and shimmering lake.
Somebody is singing. The voice is not
loud or powerful, but it is sweet, and it
thrills ones soul only TO hear it. Mrs.
Ssamer signs profoundly, and sinking into
low chair, tells herself she may probably
be happy mere for an hour or two.
The moon is streaming in upon her; the
gardens below are all ahood with its light !;
the tiny wsvelets on the lake seem TO be
sobbing and swaying through very ecstacy,
so loving is the touch Diana gives them.
A faint glimpse of the distant ocean,
sparkling and scintilating in the clear rays,
can be caught through the branches of the
tail frs that stand out jet black against
the pallid sky. The perfume of many
flowers ereeps up TO render perfect scene
more perfect, aud Mrs. Stamer, leaning
back in her seat, with eyes sympathetic
turned upon the lovely light, adds to it
another charm. Captain Blackwood is not
talking for this she is secretly grateful.

EVACUATION DAY.

a Day of All Rain and Little Glory

NEW YORK, November 2l'-The day
opened with duh leaden sky indicating
rain or snow, the atmosphere is moist and
raw, but not cold at sunrise. The forts
and ships fired salute of twenty-one
guns this followed in half an hour with
successful efforts at steam whistles in bay,
and on the rivers, to create the most disa-
greeable noise imaginable, thus empha-
sizing wonderful difference between
navigation in 1888 and 1888. At 9 o'clock
people took possession of the streets, and
every means Of conveyance leading
down town. They filled cars,
omnibuses and carriages, and still the
sidewalks on Fourth, Fifth and Sixth
avenues and Broadway presented dense
mass Of humanity. Decorations were
elaborate on public buildings and club
houses, but the residents of dwelling
houses contented themselves with the
display Of the stars and stripes Occasion
ally the oolors of France and Germany,
trimmed with red white and blue, were
to be seen. All places Of business were
closed, and the entire population Of Man
haitian and Long Island have given them-
selves up to the enjoyment Of this
patriotic occasion. The points Of historic
interest were surrounded by crowds anx-
ious to recall the scenes Of the day when
the British withdrew their forces from
the American shores; and, independence
was really made secure. President Arthur
and Governor Cleveland and staff are at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Other dignita-
ries from other States are also present.
Included among these are Governors
of the twelve original thirteen States. The
display Of the military promises to be fine.
The beautiful red coats present fine con-
trast with the gray and the blue.
The threatening weather Of this morn,
ing soon developed into pronounced
rain that increased as the day progressed.
Only the more courageous of men and
women returned to places upon the res
viewing stands, and those remaining
stood upon the seats and protected them
selves as well as they could with UNI.
brellas. People on roofs, from whence
they expected to obtain good view of
the parade, as we'll as on sea and shore,
quickly sought shelter. The streets, how
eyer, continued crowded. Broadway was
sea of umbrellas, Bunting chung to
Aagstais and walls of houses and the
brightness of the morning soon disap-
peared. The fog on the bay and rivers
deprived the Aotilla Of steam vessels Of
much of its expected glory, 1t was
novel parade.
