4 lost-key bureau-a scheme that
reaches the very acme OF Yankee in
cenuitv-is being established in the
city by an enterprising gentleman,
whose name is not known. Menu er-
ship in the bureau costs twenty-five
cents year, and each member is furn-
ished with brass tag for his key-ring,
which bears the following inscription:
The finder will please return this
bunch of keys to the central police sta
ton, and receive 81 reward. " 1t is
supposed that whenever bunch of
KEYS is lost by member of the bureau,
the f"Icr following the directions of
the ,.g, will take them to the police
station, where, at a glance, the name
and address of the owner can be ascer-
tanned by comparing the tag number
with the corresponding number on the
book left in the custody of the police.
The scheme has already been tried
and works like charm. A bunch Of
keys left on the sidewalk recently were
returned to the central station within
an hour afterwards. 1t is expected
that the man at the head of the scheme
will make small fortune. Milwaukee

DismantIing the Guns.

About 120 old-style Misunderstanding
5S,caliber Springfield rifles are now
dismanted at the armory daily, and
such parts as fit the new breech-load-
inc model are reused. The guns thus
taken to pieces are part of the 500, 900
old-style rifles made at the armory
during the war and stored there unused
after 1865. The dismantling began in
1868, when it was found that the whole
gun could be sold in the market for
only $3.50, while the parts which could
be used in tho new model, together
with the sale of the remainder as scrap
iron or to shotgun makers, would net
the government about 81. The parts
sold are mainly the stock and barrel and
scrap material, and most of these parts
90 to manufacturers of cheap shot
guns. The Whitney company, of New
Haven. and the Remington company,
of Lion. N. Y. are large buyers. The
50-caliber rifles, which were first made
in 1866, of which only $4,000 were
manufactured, were never stored, but
went at once into active service, and
have been mainly worn out in it. There
are now stored at the armory about
$4,000 of the 58.caliber model, and
1913, 900 dismantled barrels and 12S, 900
stocks. About so, 900 cleaned and re-
paired" 5S-model rifles are also stored,
but will not be dismantled, as they are
mainly contract guns and have seen
such rough service in the field as to
make it inadvisable to use their parts
in new ihes.-Sprngfeld Republican

EDUCATIONAL.
Mgr. Capei on the Fundamental
Law of English Elocution.
THE MOTHER TONGUE.

At the meeting of the National Edu-
cational Association at Madison, Wis,
the distinguished clergyman, Mgr.
Capel, in his address said:
at is a remarkable fact that the En-
glish-speaking people have neglected
one study which nations of other
tongues hold to be the principal of all
studies--the study Of the mother
tongue. Educators must remem Der
that there is q power of thinking to DO
generated, and that there must DO Civ
en- to the mind of every person per-
feet instrument for Selling hold of
thought. The fundamental law of En-
glish elocution is to pronounce the
vowels well, letting the consonants
take care of themselves. This is n
most erroneous doctrine. 1t explains
the familiar 'twang.' The rule should
be reversed, and should be: Pro
nounce carefully your consonants, and
let the vowels take care of themselves.
| am perfectly satisfied that apart from
the bad instructors we have in Eng
land, a large percentage of the improp-
er speech arises from not pronouncing
we'll the consonants. That lesson was
taught me by an American, when was
10 years of age, and | read to n mirror
for six weeks. | discovered to my adj
vantage that could speak to an audi
ence of two, three, four, or five thou
