Observation-Disclosures Dialect.

The prevailing type of nationality on
Newfoundland is English or Irish mod
fled by insular surroundings. Three
quarters of the one hundred and eighty
thousand population of the whole island
is said to be made up of poor fishermen.
They make hardy, rough race of men,
familiar with all the different phases of
ocean life. Some of their oddities of
speech, particularly at the more remote
fishing stations, are worth making note
of. A recent writer presents few of
them:
Like the Southern negro. who So
often uses "him'' for "it," so these
islanders twist the word "he' into
absurd combinations. "Will the trout
be cooked soonpn one asked the waiter
girl at coast inn.
maybe he will be" was the reply.
1.-THE wagon has lost he's wheel" or
II don't know where the spade he is"
illustrate further these peculiarities.
The name of the island is almost
universally pronounced newfoundland,
with strong accent on the final sylla-
BILE. The marine habitude of the people
crops out in the term skipper" always
employed by subordinate in addressing
superior, or by street-boy accosting
gentleman.
Northward is in Newfoundland
"down' in direction; the phrase "down
North corresponding pretty closely to
the "down East" of our Middle and
Western States. For the Newfound-
lander's phrase cup South" we have no
equivalent, excepting the .'up the South
End" of Boston. There is also q
strange broadening of vowels in COLO
quail speech. Thus ridge becomes
''rudge," and fire, "fur." Many of the
people would say, 1.-THE forest has been
furred, %. e., burned over Youths

with a mighty stride. He wore u tlan-
mel shirt, with no coat or vest, but these

knickerbockers aud a pair of long red

long-pointcd alpenstock. Up the mount

of the Kuhn, he went, steadily and
swiftly as n two-legged steam-engine.
He was such man rs we would proba-

wandering there.

passed, SAW, coming down the mount

tie coat hung at his little back; on his
little legs he wore knickerbockers and
long stockings, and on his feet u pair of
hob-naled shoes; in his hand he carried
little alpenstock. His mother was a
good walker, but she did not leave him
behind. With strides Us long us his lit
tie legs could make, he followed her
bravely down the hill, punching his
sharp stick into the ground ut every
step, as if he wished to make the mOunt-
ain feel that he was there. He was just
as full of the spirit of the Alpine climb

much, us the practiced mountaineer

From the illustrated paper by Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Pencil, in the April Cen
ttsy. we quote the following account of
their experience at Castellano in their
tricycle. trip through Italy; ''Vespers
were just over in the church near the
bridge. and along the way where happy
little Etruscan school-boys once whipped
homewards their treacherous school
master, little Italian boys and girls let
loose from church ran after us. torturing
us with their shrill cries. Soon their
elders joined them, and we were closely
beset with admirers. The town, too,
was in hubbub about us, and in the
streets through which we wheeled men
and women came from their houses to
follow in our train. AT the door of the
albergo, where we were detained for
several minutes, the entire population
collected. We had difficulty in getting
room. The fiesta, the pddrohe said,
had brought many country people into
the town, and the inns were full to over
flowing. If would go with him he
would see what could be done for us.
The search led them through three
houses. In the mean time l kept guard

But in vain. What was one against so

out and with q stick moved the people
back. Then j returned, having
found room in the first house, which
the padrone had thought fit to conceal

way to it led through another bed

cots were ranged in Il row along the
wall. When we crossed it on the way

that on our return four nightcaps would

fortunately we were the first to go
to bed in the garnet. All through the

snores and groans, and the sound OF
much tossing to and fro. We rose early
in the morning, but when we opened
our door the cots were empty, though
they had not been so long. Indeed,
early as we were, the whole town was
stirring when we came downstairs. But
who ever knew the hour when the pco-
pie Of an Italian town were not up and
abroad? No sooner had j brought
the tricycle. from the stable, where it had
been kept all night, TO the albergo,
than the piazza was again crowded.

Beautiful Dimples.

The one woman in New York who is
favored by fortune in the respect of
beautiful dimples above all her sisters is
Mrs. Florence, Rice-Knox, the singer.
Her fair, round face, when she laughs
or smiles, shows number of deep
dimples about her mouth and in either
cheek which adds greatly to her beauty
and cause much envy among her associ-
ates. Why or how dimples in a
woman's face can be subject to the cap
rices of fashion is question not easily
decided, but certain it is that they play
their part upon the stage for genera
ton or two and then disappear almost
entirely for decade. Fifty years ago
dimples were one of the requisites of
perfect beauty, but they are rarely seen
now. Perhaps this is well, for, alack!
there lies more peril in one dimple
than in twenty swords, and the world is
wicked enough as it is. There has been
efforts ut various times to produce artili-
cial dimplcs by various processes, but
with little success. There is no charm
except about the genuine, laughing,
changing, come-and-go dimple OF yo
olden time.

The question Of the expediency OF
making public Improvements by the
people or by giving the franchises to
corporation is just now attracting
much attention in Owosso, and for
the benefit of all concerned we give
place to the following which we find
in one of our exchanges, as indicat-
ing one of the solid foundations on
which German prosperity stands:
"The city of Berlin is one of the
most beautiful, enterprising and
business cities in the world. The
City owns all the water works, all the
gas works and electric light plants, all
the street railroads, all the cemeteries,
and many other public improvements,
which are carried on in this country
by private enterprise. The city is in
debt thirty millions of dollars, yet the
income from the city enterprises pays
the interest and leaves a balance in
the treasury of nearly a million dol
lars a year. Everybody is better
