Dear Sir: The author OF the article
entitled "The Lecture Course in Gen
eral-Miss Phoebe Couzlns in Particu-
lar" which was published In your last
issue, is to be congratulated for having
given, in the main, a fair and credit
able review Of the Course. The
thoughts expressed in the article are
excellent, and had the writer been con-
tent with giving a skillful analysis Of
each entertainment, and pointing out,
AS he did, the merits or demerits OF
each, TO orlticlse his review, would be
folly. But his attempt to criticise the
diction, rhetoric and.use Of the English
Language, is to be regretted, and should
not be permitted to pass unnoticed, In
Justice to our High School scholars, who
may be led thereby, thoughtlessly, into
error. crcIg

justification for so savagely crlticising
Miss Couzens' English, ,and

upon him as authority In verbal criti-
cism.
In his criticism Of Miss Couzens'
English, he says:h stiy'h
"For the same length Of time, cer-
tainly never before was the English
language 90 horribly treated. It was
oref,osierous and outrageous beyond
anything ever heard, or heard Of by
the writer. Josh Billings, In his most
slippery mood, never equaled it BY
long distance. No artificial blunder-
ine. such as comes from conscious In
teilloent Intention 10 blunder could

aid produce it. but free, untrammeled,
spontaneous, natural ignorance"

Harvard College.

At recent meeting Of the overseers of
Harvard College, discussion was held
upon resolution which had been before
the board for several week, that in the
opinion OF this board, the statues making
attendance on morning prayers and other
religious exercises compulsory should be
repealed. The board, by strong vote, re-
fused to adopt the resolution But Mr. G..
Shiffer, lately from Martinsburgh, Blair
Co., Pa, who had a cancerous growth on
his nose, and who was advised the use OF
Peruna before a visit to Cancer Hospital,
was allowed to take that par-excellent
remedy, and by its use for very short
time, was cured completely-page "a in

Webster, and "demagogue" is an art
full political orator. Two good words,
but do not 90 well when yoked to-
gether.
Finally we are told that Miss Couzins
''used the word 'apocalyptic' in con-
nection where it made ne sense" or
course If Phoebe did this, she was
naughty notwithstanding she was nice.
But our "Critical Critic" used the
word "hypostatic" in a connection
where it made no sense. The truth is
this critic is something more than a
humbug-he is fraud. lie says:
"Whereas every married man knows
that in that singular 'hypostatic' mys-
terious union he is by far the least sig
ificant and influential member. ="
Whew! what a "union!" "Hypo-
staticw "How it reverberates "
1t is a good word, not because it
makes sense, but it sounds well!
Doubtless not more than three out Of
all your readers knew its meaning, but
we are informed "this is land of
dictionaries" and it is fair to presume
our insormer searched Webster's Una
bridged assiduously before selecting
this singular and mysterious sounding
word. 1t Is a better word for him than
"apocalyptic" would have been. Not
that it would express his meaning any
better, but 1t is a more euphonious word
than "apocalyptic."
Webster defines hypostatic as (lst)
relating to hypostasis or substance; (;
hence constitutive or elementary. Ind,
personal, relating to the divine hypo-
stasis or substance Hypostasis, a
term used by the Greek theologians to
denote especially each of the three divi-
sions of the Godhead, the Father, Son
and Holy Spirit, is used by the alche-
mists in speaking of salt, sulpher and
mercury which they considered the
three principles of all material bodies
Sd, (medically) that which is deposited
at the bottom of fluid sediment.
No one, after reading Webster's def
milton, need longer remain In doubt in
regard to "that singular, hypostatic,
mysterious union of husband and wife.
The inference is clear that this union
of husband and wife after all, is nolh-
ing but sediment" Certainly our
critic does not use it in its theological
sense, the three in one use ofhypostatic.
His happy use of this word hypostatic,
suggests that he may be as well versed
In Grecian theology as he is in rhetoric.
Moreover, he tells us "these things are
not all, by any means, that can be just
ly said about this absurd performance.
"When a man gets to his 'lts," said
Goblet, 81 tremble for him." How
would Goblet feel when a man gets to
his "its" and "thIngs" think you?
Hart says, "The skill with which a man
deals with the pronouns and other
small connecting words is the best evil
dence of the extent to which he has at
tained mastery of the art of compost
tion." II this be true, "Brute of a
man" is beginner.
If he be an example of verbal critics
"every decent woman could heartily
join with every good man In fervently
praying" "From all such and kindred
singular, hypostatic, mysterious unions,
the good Lord deliver u.s."

Murders and Executions.

In an editorial in the April Century, en-
titled Mob or Magistrate the following
comparison is made between murder and
the application of Justice; "Over against
the fifteen hundred murders Of the last
year, we have the report Of barely ninety.
three legal executions. Many OF these
must have been cases in which the crime
had been committed during 1882 while
many Of the criminals of 1888 had not yet
been brought to trial. 1t is not, however,
not lar from the truth 10 say that, while thir.
teen to fourteen hundred murders are
committed in this country every year,
fewer than hundred of the murderers
suffer the extreme penalty Of the law
When the williul slayer knows that he
has thirteen chances out of fourteen of es-
Gaping the full penalty Of the law, the de-
terrent influence Of punishment cannot be
said 10 be very powerful.
"The small number ofmurderers hanged
by the sherifis, and the greater number
hanged by the mobs, should be evidence
enough that the administration Of our
criminal courts in many quarters is fatally
defective, and needs reforming. The only
classes Of persons interested in maintain
ing the present state Of things are the
criminals and the criminal lawyers; and II
is not for their exclusive benefit that So
ciety is organized. The contrast between
the swift, firm, and sure methods Of Eng.
lish and Continental courts in dealing with
great criminals, and the tardy, feeble, and
abortive methods Of our own, should sting
our national pride to some energetic
measures OF reform. The people must
rouse themselves to demand more vigor.
GUS enforcement Of the laws, and they
must see to 1t that judges and prosecuting
attorneys are chosen who have the ability
and the will to bring evil-does TO justice.
The judges on the bench may well inquire
whether the protection Of the criminal has
not assumed dispropotionate Importance
in our criminal procedure. II, in our fear
lest an innocent man may suffer, the law
itself, which is the only protection for in
nocent men, becomes utterly paralyzed
then there Is call for II revision Of our
methods and our maxims, and the infusion
Of new spirit into our laws. Every

tried three ways, either Of which is
good.
In the first plac, | will remind my
sisters that no water should be put in
the milk or about the butter, az this
causes il to sour. The vessels should
he ,caldrd aud aired every lime they
are used, and the milk should always
he kept in clean, cool, pure place.
But the packing process: When YOUR
butter is churned paddle all the milk
out, (never Use the hand, rs the warmth
destroys the graiu), salt it, and let it
remain in cool place till morning,
then work it again; when every drip
of milk is out put it in little sack
made Of thin cloth--salt sacks will do
and put it in jar or keg of brine
with a weight on it, like putting up
cucumber pickle. Another way is to
pack it in small earthen jars, and bury
it in a barrel Of salt. Still another
method, and the way most satisfactory
to me, was to procure large jar, say
one to hold about six or eight gallons,
and after the second working put it
down firmly, notallowing any air holes,
and each time you put in butter, cover
it with salt two or three inches. This
can be in a little -four sack, and save
much trouble, as no salt can then get
in the butter. When the jar is filed
let the sacks remain on top. In tais
way one Gun preserve butter the entire
summer.

Four Hundredth Anniversary of the
