Strange Use ofLanguage.

HI. Charles, in the Christian at
work, gives some amusing illustrations
of the violation of the purity of language
by young people especially boys. Hesays;
Among the still more common errors
in the use of language are these: the
mispronOuncing of unaccented syllables
as, terruble for terrible; the omission
of letter or short syllable, as goin'
for going and ev'ry for every; and the
running of words together without Civ
ing to every one distinct pronuncia-
ton.
l know boy who says, Don't wan
ter" when he means q don't want to-"
"whajer say?" when he means, what
did you say?' and where de go?" i'll
stead of "where did he go?"
Sometimes you hear, 'ficood,' instead
of ''If l could" "wilfercan," instead of
az will i'll cam" and ''howjer know"
for chow do you know"
And have YOU never heard 'm-m, "
instead of Eyes" and mini instead of
"no'?
Let me give you a short conversation
overheard, the other day, between
two pupils OF cur high school, and see If
you never heard anything similar to 1t.

"H-m, ficoodn't skate bettern' you I'd
sellout'n'quit."
"Well, we'll tryerace h'seefyercan.'
Here they took different streets and
their conversation ceased. These boys
write their compositions grammatically
and might use good language, and speak
it distinctly if they would try. But they
have got into this careless way of speak
ing, and make no effort 20 get out of it.
Whenever they try to speak correctly
they have to grope their way along
slowly, and their expression seems
forced or cramped, as though it were
hard work for them to talk.
Every one talks enough to keep well
in practice, and those W no try to speak
correctly on every occasion soon find
that the practice makes it just as easy
for them to use the best language at
their command as to use the most com
mon.

The Premium Wheat at the State



The premium wheat at the state fair just
hel! at O0atonna was raised by Jacob
Hurley of Orienville in Big Stone county,
Minnesota. 1t was a beautiful specimen of
the hard Scotch Fife, weighing sixty-three
pounds TO the bushel, aud produced the
enormous quantity OF three bushels from
single quart. It was exhibited in both
grain and straw, and attracted more stten-
ton than any other one thing on the ground
The size of the kernels; the bright
stiff straw, the length Of the heads and its
enormous productiveness called forth ex-
pressions of surprise from ali who saw it.
Col. John H. Stevens, the veteran sgricul-
turist, was particularly struck with IL, and
pronounced ii the finest half-bus el OF
wheat Re had ever seen exhibited ct sur
fairs. 1t was the kind called the SAsket
chewaL Fife a pure variety OF the old
Scotch IOite, brought down from the Saskat
chewan Valley, in Manitoba, six years ego.
and acciimated to our state. The original
seed has been much improved by careful Sc
lection AMI cultivation, snd it is now I'M
questionsoly the most productive and lest
milling wheat in the world.
Toe Pioneer Press Company of S.. Paul,
anxious to increase their subscription list,
and at the same time dissent ate so vain
able variety of seed have purchased q
large quantity OF il direct from the propa-
gators, and now offer il as premium on
their weekly. ANY one sending in new
name at the regalar price, accompanied by
the cSsh, viz, 81 Is for years subscrip
ton, will be entitled to q quart Of the
wheat, which will be sent 10 s&y address, put
up in strong canvass sack, and delivered at
the exE rsss office in Minneapolis exPrts
charges prepaid AS it sold last year aJ
dollar quart, this Offer is exceedingly lib
eral, and will doubtless lead to very large
accession to their subscription list.

There is nothing ab0uta country heme
more permanently pleasing to the eye
than we'll kept lawn. Flowers and
shrubbery are beautiful, but they do not
satisfy cultured taste as does the en-
erald green of q fresh, velvet turf. A

all NV flowers for a northern lawn"
The same lady came north to live after
the war, and in fitting up her new home
she said, "The leading features of its
surroundings must be lawn. don't
want the surface of the ground to be
married with tree, shrub or flower. There
is nothing so handsome around house
as a green smooth-sEaven lawn" This
is putting it pretty strong. Trees and
flowers are beautiful in their place, but
to plant forest in front OF the house or
fill the front yard with liiacs, syringas
and other shrubbery, as our fathers
were inclined to do, so as to make the
yard look like a swamp, was mistake.
a lawn, with a cluster of geraniums
here, Of ,heliotropes there, and other
perpetual boomers few and far between

which may serve as frame to the pic
ture delights the eye of every beholder.
Lawns are now quite common, on
farmers premises, and we can see no
reason why they have not as good
right to pleasant, tasteful home as the
citizen who spends only three or four
months in the country. AS TO its being
waste of land to devote few rods in
front of the house to a lawn, it is no
more wasteful than to devote the same
space, as is usually the case, to trees and
shrubbery. No one begrudges the
chickens a yard in which to run, flirt
and frolic, and are not children entitled
to equal privileges with the chickens?
Whatever makes zone attractive, if it
is no more expensive than a lawn, is
not wasteful. If we wish to keep our
boys on the farm, and to train our
| daughters for farmers wives, we must
make the home pleasant and farm lie
| something besides mere drudgery.

HOUSE AND FARM.
Fashion Notes.

Plain linen collars and cuffs are to be
in vogue again, and very deep cuffs and
collars. like those worn by ladies in the
| play known as the esquire" are pre-
ferred by many followers of this severe
| fashion. They look trimmer and neater
| invariably than any other style, but il
| will take some time TO re-establish the
| custom of wearing them after the more
| delicate and negligee fashion of wearing
| lace alone.
New necklaces for evening wear are
of FIorentine and cloisonee beads some
Of which are encrusted with Tiny silver
stars or studded with mock gems. which
glitter like real jewels in the gaslight
Roman pearls also we're never more in
fashion than at the present, worn twist
ed about the neck in triple rows The
newest strings show delicate sheeny
tints of helotrope pink, gold and mauve
sea green and silver, and rose and pearl
in the softest and most exquisite tints.
Cashmeres hold the first place among
woolens, and come in all the new
shades. Their popularity for evening
dresses has been unbounded at water
ing places this summer, and is equally
great during the winter. Just now they
are in great demand III stylish dark
shades for early autumn wear, the
woman of moderate means preferring
cashmere dress and jersey-cloth jacket
to the more expensive cloth dress which
must be made BY tailor or fashionable
dress-maker to be really handsome.
Dark velvet bodices. which are SC
fashionably worn just now over skirts
of yelling, silk and other fabrics, may be
heightened in effect for dressy occasions
by having the basque edge cut in blocks
falling over lace rutfie set underneath.
The trimmings of the sleeves and square
neck are arranged to match. For even
ing wear the sAeves are sometimes OF
transparent silk lace or net, gold lace
being used where a gold-colored SpPn-
ish lace rulfle is set underneath the
basque.
1t is almost impossible to distinguish
the new velveteen from real velvet, 50
silky is its surface and so soft and even
its face. The dark colors of this mate
rial are very handsome, and they make
very stylish and water-defying walking
skirts, the new brand, it is claimed, be-
ing proof against rain spots, and warran-
ted never to fade.
ECT uf0sSy winter evening IOlieIS,
transparent stuffs of all colors will be
worn, such as silk, gold and silver
gauzes and nets, with satin velvet,
chenille, and feather embroideries, the
figures very solid, while the grounds
are very open.
Supertine broad cloths with closely
woven surfaces, London cloths in her
ring bone patterns, and irregular twilled
cloths are used for the popular tailor
made costumes.
Velvet and velveteen viii be worn to
excess, aud with all sorts of stuffs, even
silk gauzes.
Pointed velvet Yokes are used on silk
dresses which have Vandyke pointed
trimmings.
Breton, Franklin, and Elizabeth vests
and plastrons are all revived in the new
autumn toilets,
For the neck and sleeve trimmings OF
the new dresses gilt braid, gilt gauze,
and gilt lace are used.

HOW 10 clean Black SILK.

The best way to clean black silk is in
potato water Crate two peeled pota-
toes in a quart of water; let it stand to
settle and then draw it off again. Lay
a breadth ofthe silk-from which you
have wiped the dust with flannel rag
outside upwards on a clean cloth spread
over an ironing blanket. Sponge it
across the breadth well and fold it up,
taking care to keep the wetted side up
wards. Do each breadth in this way and
lay each carefully aside, then iron them
with hot iron, having clean piece OF
linen or an old handkerchief spread
over them, as this wall prevent the siis
from shining. Chloroform will cleansS
the finest silks and remove spots with
out injury to the fabric. Old clothes OF
of all kinds can be eleansed by sleeping
them for half an hour In warm water
and then rubbing borax soap into the
most soiled parts; wash well in fresh hot
water, and then rinse them thorough
in cold

The Hon. Marshall P Wilder, Presi-
dent of the American Pathological So
ciety, in his recent address AZ Philadel-
pha, has something to say about the
naming of new fruits, which, it is to be
hoped, will be needed by those who
may have produced new varieties
worthy of being disseminated He
says: "Let US have no more Generals,
Colonels, or Captains attached to the
names of our fruits; no more Presidents,
Governors, or titled dignitaries; no
more monarchs, kings, or princes; no
moreimammoths giants, or Tom Thumbs;
10 more nonsuches, seek no-furthers.
ne plus utras, hog pens, sheep noses,
Big Bohs, iron clads, legal tenders,
Sucker States, or stump-the-worlds"
lie advises the use of the simplest
names, and only one word will, as rule,
form a better name than two or more.
All the big and little names mentioned
above are now attached to fruits in culti-
vatiou, and it is time that simpler ones
were emploved.-New York Sun.

The symnathizing Judge.

A certain Judge OF that State noted for

name given to a mixture of peach-bran-
dy and honey Though the judge often
drank his favorite beverage, he hated
whskey drinkers. Those who got
drunk on whiskey and came before hi

hands.
One day, two men were brought be-
fore the Judge on the charge Of being
the principals in drunken atfray. The
case was so plain, that their counsel adj

themselves on the mercy of the court.

As the fortunate fellow who was wait

and trembling, his lawyer whispered to
him.
''When the Judge asks you what you
got drunk on, tell him peach and hon

"You, too, are up here tor an affray ;"
