A Lesson in Grammar.

Careless habits of speech are among the
prominent faults of our young people,
even those young people who havo adj
vantages of schools and intelligent home
surroundings. Recognizing this, the
professor of English literature at Wellcs-
ley college has prepared list Of "words,
phrases, and expressions TO be avoided, :"
from which the young (and olD readers
will receive many serviceable hints:
Guess, for suppose or think. Fix, for

days, for about ten days. Not as know,
for not that l know. Storms, for it rains
or SHOWS moderately. Try an experiment,

peCt, LOT suspect. fIrSC rate us an au-

Tho Policeman of Niexico.

While ret turning in the evening to my
hotel l stopped at the beautiful park
called the Plaza de Zaragoza, which is
spread out lin almost tropical beauty be-
fore the new cathedral. 1t is filled with
orange trees and pecan trees, and is sweet
with the 5dor of pomegranates and aca-
cha blooms. There found hosts of chill
dren playing along the graveled walks.
TIER chief amusement seemed to consist
in thi2w;ing twigs and pebbles slyly at
the policeman, who, however, did not
deign to-notice them. The Mexican po-
lceman is usually dressed all in white,
with hue cap, and instead of an ugly
club he carries bright saber. He does
not walk about at night from block to
block, seeing that all is secure, as our
policemen are supposed to do, but after a
certain hour Of the night he seats him
self flat upon the pavement at a street
corner, and with his saber drawn and his
lantern between his knees patiently waits
the Mexican cry of "Watch" which
notifies hi N when he is needed. The
Mexican policeman is therefore a hahn
less, good natured man, and consequently
a fayorite with the children. -"R. NJ. Y"

Speaking of the proper way to cbk
shad, Superintendent Henry T. Fentdn,
agent of the Connecticut state fish cob-
missioners, says he has eaten them !in
every known style, from those that came
from the country housewives frying pan
to the world famous Philadelphia planked
shad, but the way in which shad should
be cooked in order to get the full flavor
and deliciousneSs of the fish is to follow
the plan of the old Housatonic river fish
ermen, who used to catch them as high
up as New Milford before the Birming
ham was built.
This is it: Take five or six FOUNDER
and split it open on the belly. Have a
good fire of hard wood, in order to pro-
duce plenty of live Goals. Place inside
the shad as much butter as the belly will
hold, sew it up, wrap it in several thick
nesses of heavy manila paper, wet
through; dig hole in the hot ashes,
bury the shad, and after fifteen minutes
take it out, and you have dish fit for
the gods, aud if you can't appreciate il,
you don't deserve ia eat another shad as
long as you live. 1t is well to state that
what Mr.. Fenton doesn't know about
shad is hardly worth learning. New

Mechanical Art in Poetry.

Poetry is more mechanical art than
most people believe. Fred Latham, who
is a cousin of Lord Tennyson, has told
me than when the laureate is writing a
poem he constructs rhyming dictionary
of his own, THUS: A, b, C, d, g, f, 6, h, j.,
!, L. Z. l. M ~ F. p g r. s. t. u v W. X
Then he has written line, say:
whel claribcl low lie,A-
lie starts dow7 the alphabet hunting for
a rhyme, ge%ing 'buyeth," "crieth,"
"dieth," '1ieth," "sigheth," "tieth, :"
"tryeth," "vieth," and so on, out Of
which of course it is the easiest possible
thing to get the line
The oak tree, thick leaved, ambrosial sigheth,
when the proper time comes to introduce
that verse into the poem. Usually Lord
Tennyson conceals the art by which he
gets to his rhymes by putting the manu-
featured line first and letting the second
one carry the real burden of the thought,
as any one who will read 'Locksley
Hall" critically will see. Henry Dees il
