falling OF twO-ton iron cap in one Of
the large factories here. At the time Of

he would not be comforted. His mother

his mind of his grief, but the hope was
vain, and he died there last Satur-

during the entire sermon carried his
hearers along with him.
The discourse was composed of over a
hundred different texts from the Bible,
the Talmud, and the Midrash, with run.

the people should pay more attention to
honesty than piety. A Hebrew might be
very pious, strictly observing the laws,
and still lack honesty. His hands will

cannot exist without piety, as the latter
will naturally follow when one possesses
the former. The rabbi closed his sermon

4 Very Troublesome LANGUAGE,

When first the Japanese learned from
the Chinese the use of letters they, with
characteristic ingenuity, adopted con-
tracted forms OF forty seven Chinese
characters to represent the syllables Of
their language, and at the samo time with
curious unwisdom adopted cursive forms
Of other characters to represent the same
sounds. But. further, to make confusion
worse confounded, they paid their instruc-
tors the compliment Of taking over bodily
their writing and their literature There
are thus three ways Of writing japanese
(one) with the forty seven contracted
Chinese or Katagana characters; (two)
with the cursive forms of other Chinese
or lliragana characters; and three with
the Chinese characters pure and simple.
Every school boy has to learn these three
systems, and his studies are complicated
by the fact that while tho first two sys.
tens arc phonetic the third is mainly
Geographic.
But We have not yet reached the end Of
the difficulties which surround Japanese
writing. For although, as has just been
said, the Chinese characters are mainly
used Geographically, they may ut the dis.
cretion Of the writer be made to represent
either the mere sounds of tho Chinese
words which they signify or the mere
sounds of the japanese words which they
signify. Tog.vc an eyample-the Chinese
character meaning heaven" and pro.
nounced Tien, when occurring in Japanese
text may either be read according to an
old Chinese pronunciation, Ten, heaven"
rr oo tho fouapacn xrnr.&. Cor fba oara
meaning, Ane or as simply representing
the sounds Of en- or Anne, apart from
their meaning. This is much as IL our
letters consisted Of signs such, for in.
stance, as g., which. let us suppose, might
either be read and" or "ct," or as tho
syllables "and" or 'ct," and 90 30 used In
such combinations as h&, hand, or &iam.

sational suicide early yesterday morning
at town named Clarkson, twenty miles
from here. A handsome young woman
named Sarah +. Greenwell, who owns a
good farm in that place and had other
property also, had for some years been
enamored OF man named William Cum
ningham, who lived Eve miles from her,
in the village of Brockport For some
reason her lover relaxed his atten

OF being unfaithful and drew knife and
attempted to stab him, and was only pre-
vented from doing so by the Intervention
of outsiders. When thwarted in that she
swallowed a dose of Rough on Rats"
At first the effect of the poison was not

Mrs. Will Allen, the fame Of who's

A fluent admirer dwells on her charm,
of person and manner after the following
enthusiastic fashion She would be called

herself like princess Of royal blood. She
has regular features, with fair complexion
and brilliant color. Her wealth of hair Is
brown with bronze tinge, and under.
meath the darkest and longest Of lashes
are a pair of the softest and brownest eyes
that ever bewildered a man. What at.
tracts you most in Mrs Allen, however,
is the wonderful play of thought and
feeling in the changing expression Of her
face Her features are fairly alive with
intelligence.
She talks fluently In sweet and we'll
modulated voice, is altogether uhconven.
lionsl and without affectaiion in what she
says and is full of tact and marvellously
resourceful. She is young and reigns
like queen over the most agreeable cir
cles both at White Sulphur and her home
in Richmond
II is needless to say that she makes a
very graceful picture on the tennis field
and there are none here who fail to pay
her the homage which a lovely woman
receives as her due She has for several
years been the recipient Of more atten-
lion than any other three women, married
or single, in Virginia. She is known far
and wide as "The Virginia Beauty" Her
appearance as a lawn tennis player and
the grace with which she plays have done
more, perhaps, to give her this title than
anything else.
She is what the critics pronounce a
good all-round player, and she handles
the racquet with Il vim and dash that
make her appearance on the ground the
signal for renewed interest in the game.

She is member Of the crack tennis club

Mrs. Allen says that while the playing
