The Longest Existing Word.

Far behind most foreign languages.
ancient and modern, comes the English
language rs regards length of words.
Except in the word Observation-Disclosures
nity"-which, though it exists in litera-
ture, is. of course, a mere manufactured
piece of absurdiV-we have, believe,
no word extending beyond seven sylla-
bles. To some European nations this
may seem contemplate enough. In this
respect. however, the old world can
teach a lesson to the new. In a work to
which hope some time TO make a more
direct reference have met with an
Aztec word of thirty-two letters, '.amat-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS." It is salts
factory to learn that the Specification of
the word is worthy of its proportions.
1t means payment received for having
been bearer of a paper with writing on
it." So far as regards the number of
letters employed accordingly we are far
more extravagant than the Aztecs. Gal
latin, in the Transactions of the
American chronological Society,"" sup
plies from the Cherokee language a word
even more pOrtentous. This is '.Winit-
awtgeginaliskawlnngtanawneliisest -
which means, "They will by that time
have nearly done granting [favors]
from a distance to them and to me"
With vocabulary of this kind perfect
of speech and writing must
be matter of some difliculty.-Ge Gentle

THE HIRED MAN.
A Number OF Points to BE Considered By
Employers.

Number Of Points to he Considered By
Employers.
CuriOusly enough, the term '.hired
man" is only applied to a man that
works on farm, as though other men
were not hired. There are many grades
of hired men. A good one is cheap at
high wages, and bad or Indifferent one
is dear if he works for nothing and
boards himself.
Usually, farmers do not seem to real
ize the important position that such
man holds, nor is sufficient caution ex-
ercised in filling it. In the first place.
the hired man is brought continually
into contact with the boys on the farm.
He has seen considerable of the world,
at least more than they have. and his
daily walk and conversation exert ma
terial influence over them. Many a
farmers lad has received his first lesson
in iniqrity from such a teacher, yet the
fathers of these same have wondered at
their deviations from the paths of recti-
tude. When the farmer has but one
assistant it is obvious that much must
be left to his discretion, and that the
employers success depends largely
upon the information and zeal of the
man that is employed. He should GER
tainly be Interested to an extent beyond
the question Of wages. Notice your
man. Does he allow q barn door to be
slammed off its hinges BY the wind?
Does he care for the stock rs Though it
is his own? Is be economical in the use
of your implements, seeds and time? Is
he careless driver? Does he leave stock
exposed to the cold and storms? Does
he drink or gamble. and is the languages
he uses such as you want your children
to hear? Such questions are deserving
of consideration; indeed, they are OF
vital Importance to one who has the
welfare of his family and the success Of
his business at heart. But l am not
writing in disparagement of these men;
on the contrary. believe the good quail
tiles of some are never fully appreciated,
and that not enough difference exists be-
tween the wages paid the worthy. and
the worthless hired man.-F0rest. Forge

a Slovenly Army In Which Soldiers Re.
fu e to be DISCIPLINED.
With all his deficiencies, the Burmese
soldier has one advantage over disci-
plined troops. He requires no commits
sariat, and is ready for service at a few
minutes notice, a few pounds of rice
and little gnapi or fish-paste carried
on his person suffi'ing for his very mod
est requirements. Not deficient in pluck,
cheerful and Obedient, and patient I'M
der physical hardship. it is found tn It
for sudden and short expeditions, to
chase rebels or to punish freebooters, he
is second to none. There were reason-
able hopes. therefore, of making him
thoroughly efficient; but, in spite of
every effort, the experiment had to be
abandoned. The Bnrman is impractic-
cable rs regards routine and disci-
pline. Drill is simply odious to him
after the novelty wears off; an incorri-
gible slOven, he can not understand tho
necessity of keeping his arms and &C
cOutrements clean and in serviceable
condition. Marching to and fro on SEN
try is to him simply ridiculous; he can
not be reconciled to the loss of his che
root. even when guarding a powder
magazine; and night, as he sagely re-
marks. being allotted by an ali-wise
Providence as the time for sleep, he
does not understand why he should then
remain awake, even in cases where exc
ira vigilance is required. Allowing the
widest margin. it is doubtful whether
Theebaw could collect more than thirty
thousand muskets. One third of these
are more or less arms of precision. such
as RemingtODs and Sniders, while the
rest are of the Brown Bess" pattern,
nearly all of which are unserviceable,
and dangerous only to those who fire
them of. To sum up, the Burmese army
can not be relied on to deal successfully
even with tilibustering enterprises, such
as that which resulted in the capture of
Bhamo, and would be altogether power
less against disciplined troops armed
with breech-loaders. So if the mandate
goes forth to make Upper and Lower
politically one country, as they
are now one geographically. it might be
carried out by military promenade.

Bagpipes in Medical Science.

According to the United States Gazette
a new use has been discovered for the
musicafinstrument of torture called the
bagpipes. Last year, it seems. a Span
ish soldier was brought to the military
hospital at Havana in a state of cata-
Iespy, and for fifteen months he showed
no signs of improving health. At last
the doctors ordered the bagpipes to be
played near his bed, whereupon the
man promptly recovered consciousness
and is now able to articulate. His first
words, l should imagine, were not
cOuched in the form of a blessing: but
there may yet be a great future for the
bagpipes in medical science. Their mu-
sic may be strongly recommended to
persons suffering Srom nervous or hys-
terical disorders. and, generally speak
ing, to moiattes imaginaries of every de-
scription. Whether the disease or the
is the worst must be left TO tie
