Mark Twai - English.

There is brass plate in Mark
Iwain's house on which is engraved
the sentence, 1.-The ornament of a house
is the friends who frequent it," 1t sur
prised me to find such a sentence, even
though on brass, in such quarter Its
grammatical construction may not be
deemed absolutely incorrect by some:
1T evidently was not by Mark Twain;
but it is decidedly clumsy and harsh to
the ear, even if it does not violate.
which doubt, some express rule of
grammar AS the art of CONSTRUCTING
sentences properly is one of no mean
Importance to writers and speakers. |
would ask, does not the harshness
arise from endeavoring TO make one
verb do duty for both the singular and
plural noun? The ornament Is the
friends; The friends is the ornament.
Or, does not the clumsiness arise from
making the singular noun occupy a
plural position, thus expressing rela-
tionship beyond its capacity to bearP
This would not be the case had the sem
tence been, "The ornaments are the
friends, which could be transferred to
The friends are the ornaments But
Mark Twain doubtless wished to make
the word friends" emphatically set
forth 1.-The ornament OF his house.

Meeting the singular and plural noun?

Senator Bruce and Senator Bogy.

Blanche X. Bruce, whose signature
as Register of the Treasury now graces
every National bank bill, was very pop
ular while he was in the Senate, al
though he is of African descent. I'm
obtrusiye, attentive to business, and
modest, he conquered the prejudices
against his race and was treated with
marked courtesy by his associates. One
day after he had been n Senator for
two years or more, Senator Bogy, the
aristocratic descendant of one of the
old French families of St. Louis, took a
seat by his side, saying: "Mr. Bruce,
! have bill here ! want you to vote
for. 1t is one in which | have a great
personal interest. 1t has nothing po-
litical in it. Look at it and tell me
what you think Bruce laughed as

Some twenty years ago you were one
day running down Olive street in a
hurry to catch a steamer. You were
carrying very heavy valisc. The day
was very hot. Don't you remember
the colored boy who came up and Of
fered to carry the valisc down to the
levce for Il quarter? You ran along
with the boy. Soon the wharfboat
dock was reached. The boat was just
swinging out. You ranand jumped on
board. You called for the valisc The
colored boy put the valisc behind his
back and called for his quarter. You
hunted, tished out quarter and tossed
it ashore, but the gap was too wide to
toss the valisc. The captain had to
stop the boat and back up before you
could get your valise. Do you remem-
Der that?" well, | should say do.

kangarooing.

Kangarooing is the most interesting
sport in Australia, and is one of the
most exciting in the world. Large
meets are organ zcd. parties of from
twenty to thirty joining in these hunts.
They ride to the kangaroo grounds, and
as soon as an animal is sighted the two
dogs are released and the horses are
given their heads. If the Australian
horse is well up in his business, and if
you let him take you instead of your
irving to take him, he will carry you
safely, avoiding trees and underbrush.
A good, strong kangaroo will give you
a long chase, and very often the dogs
cannot follow him. In this case. when
the horseman gets up to the kangaroo
he takes off his stirrup and strap and
knocks the animal over the head, which
effectually stuns him. He is then kill
ed and skinned The hind quarters
are given to the dogs. 1t is good
enough for eating, but too strong 10 be
palatable to those of delicate tasre.
The tail, on the contrary, is considered
delicious when made into soup. The
average size of a kangaroo is about
three and half feet high. but the old
man kangaroo is often six feet, and is
very fierce when cornered; he has even
been known TO rip men open with q
single blow from one of his hind legs.
