Neether or Nither,

The pronunciation of the word
neither" is very generally considered
to be a matter of taste. Most diction-
aries give both pronunciations, but
good speakers invariably give the long e
sound, although the long 1 sound is
generally supposed to have no more
serious objection than being somewhat
affected, and is a pronunciation often
adopted by clergymen, especially Epis-
copalians. 1t is, however. incorrect,
as its origin will show. 1t is well
known that the German pronunciation
of Ell Is long, as der Feind, the enemy,
while the English rule is TO pronounce
the diphthong as long e as receive.
The long sound was invariably given
in neither until the reign of George L,
of England. Being of the House of
Hanover, and speaking English Indif-
ferently, he gave the German pronun-
ciation to the dlphthong. Court para
sites thought 1t proper to ape the King
and his pronunciation spread. Few
people know this origin, and hence the
general mistake.

A Coquette's Conquest; or, Through
Winding Ways.

How we'll I remember the day Philip
Darcy came back from Europe, where
he had been studying, and hung out
his modest little lawyers shingle. He
had very little money In the world, but
It was not very long before rich clients
began to flock In and he made hand
some income.
Before he went away Philip had been
very fond of little Mary Gordon, and
we all thought he would marry her
when he returned. Perhaps he might
have If he had not fallen under the
spell of the most adroit coquette in
town, Isabel Marwood, who soon won
him away from the old object of his
alteration.
For once this naughty beauty, who
had trampled on so many hearts, lost
her own and fell desperately in love
with the man she had only tried to
firt with at first.
At last Philip Darcy made up his
mind that he would call on Isabel and
ask her to be his wife. He had settled
in his mind that he loved Mary Cor
don only as sister.
He found his divinity on the night
In question playing with pug dog in
the drawing room-a horrld little cur
he always disliked.
She gave him one look and was
frightened. With all her wit and arti-
fees she sought to put off the fateful
moment, but she could not. With the
wild impetuosity of his nature when
deeply in earnest and excited. conf
dent, too, that the blessed consumma-
ton was at hand, he caught her in his
ardent embrace, gave her one impas-
stoned kiss, and then asked her to be

He was going on with pictare Of his
love, when she broke from him and

she rejected him-she scorned him
she wondered at his daring and at his
self-conceit. But he did not stop to
hear her through. The iron had en-
tered his soul; and in those first few
moments he had seen what manner OF
woman he had loved. He rushed out

The Beginning of Printing.

1t is probable that the earliest i'm
pressions were taken by mallet and
planer "a smooth faced block of wood
used for leveling the type before print
ing), as proof slips now often are, or by
a brush, IN the Chinese manner; but
presses were soon invented for the pur-
pose. There are engravings represent
ing the press as it existed about 1920.
1t was large enough to print two folio
pages, and for this two pulls were re-
quired, The force was applied by a
simple screw and lever. About 1929
Blaeuw, OF Amsterdam, produced a
greatly improved press, which, with
little alteration, continued in use for
more than a century and half. The
press upon which Benjamin Franklin
worked in London, IN 1725, is pre-
served IN the patent Office at Washing
ton. 1t is a clumsy structure, almost
entirely of wood, known as the Ramage
press, of which many were still in use
more than a century later. Iron was
subsequently used FOR some of the parts
until the beginning Of the present GEN.

Bob and the Pigs Head.

Bob, or ''Dumpy," as the miners all
called him, was one of those fellows
who were never abashed at anything.

''if 1t took rib" as he said. He was
rotund but strongly built little bald

Monday morning this excellent land
LADY cooked large pigs head-with-

marked: "Yer appertites must be on
the wane, pards. Er maybe yer tryin'
fur to purify yer systems to jine the
Adventlsts who're a-preachin' up at

This suggestion provoked a hearty
laugh, and at the mines it was told
again, and the embryo Adventists' were
targets for all
Dumpy soon regretted having made
his friends the butt of every joke
like the pigs head, they were soon
stale. He suddenly formed a resolve TO
Danish the Objectionable head and turn
the joke elsewhere.
Monday, Dumpy walked in to dinner
and before the boarders and the land
lady, he addressed the venerably
cooked, defunct pigs head as follows:
"How do yer do, sirl ought to know
yer; yer face looks familiar; but dang
my taller ef i kin call yer name"
The head vanished, and Bob had a
vote OF thanks and free cigars for a
full month.

New York Tablet, one of the leading
Irish American papers in the United
States, has an able article supporting
General Harrison for president 1t says:
"As to The charge that General Harrison
ia untriendly TO the Irish all we peed say
is that every Irish-American who reads
the daily press and whose memory is not
abnormally defective, knows that General
Harrison has on more than one occasion
championed the cause of Ireland, and
that. too. long before his name came to
be used ia connection with Presidential
nomination and when, consequently he
could not be suspected of angling for the
Irish vote. In memorable speech de-
livered by him at reception given to
Messrs. Esdmonde and O'Connor at In
dlanapolis on December 5, 1887, he utter-
ed the following manly sentiment:
ST would rather be William, O'Brien in
Tullamore Jail, q martyr to free speech,
than the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in
Dublin Castle
General Harrison has, indeed, time
and again borne ungrudging testimony to
Irish bravery. genius and patriotism"

II am hurrying through the Western

tonholing and corner grocery tariff discus
sion. You can make up yonr mind that
unless some extraordinary change occurs
between now and Nov Harrison will 60
down to High Bridge with something like
10000 plurality. II New York city can
overcome that Cleveland is all right, if
not, he will have to pack up and come
back to Buffalo. Yeu can get no idea in
your present surroundings of the situation
in the country. The Republicans are
making fierce, intelligent, and, so far,
successful fight. 1t was a mistake for
Cleveland to raise the tariff issue. I can
see that now for the first time. The sur
face argument is as you know all in favor
of the Repu blicans, and that is the argu-
ment that catches the country men.
There are large defections of lifelong
Democrats among the farmers everywhere
I have been. In Rochester the men in
control of the Democratic organization will
knit, Cleveland sure. They are very bit
ter against him and ia private make no
bones of it, In Steuben county the Demo
Gratis are all smashed up. Cleveland's ap-
pointees are lot of milk and water jack
anapes Who let their enemies scoop every
thing. The only notable exception is Jim

lives at Medina and is making the most
