HARDLY anything in the English IAN
guage Is more puzzling or difficult thar the
correct use of ''shall' and will" 1t may
serve to aid some to a correct understand
ing to say that the verb ''shalp' in the in
dicative present, is thus corrugated: 81

The verb will" in the same lenses, is con-
jugated:s II will, he shall; we will. you.
they shall" Now, the first ~conjugatiOn
above implies simply a future intention.
while the second implies a threat or de-
termination. The poverty stricken "doub-
ling"o of the two verbs, though it allows
very delicate shades Of meaning, Is the
cause of all the trouble. Hore is a good
catch by which to remember the difference,
from the Writer for May:
I'm the first person simply, Shall fOretells;
In Will q threat or else a promise dwells;
Shall in the second or the third doth threat,
VIII simply then ~foretells the future feat"

put to a similar use in Arkansas in strength

levees are intended to protect the bottom
lands from overflow, but, being made of
light earth and not heavily packed, have
never lasted long. A gentleman of Arkan-

ACOUNTY history is a most desirable and
useful thing, and in these days of many
writer's, and much book-making, no county
should fail to prepare one. A history of
thisc character must necessarily include de-
tails that cannot find place in State histo-
ries, but that are of interest to all residents.
1t must be q record less of political than of
social. educational and industrial events.
1t is not an easy matter to find in every
county a man qualified to write accurately
on all these topics, since much research and
and labor are involved, that it is hardly
possible of accomplishment to one person.
Even if one person attempted the work.
much of it must necessarily be lone per-
functorily aud with a lack of personal in.
terest that would affect the results.
This difficulty has been overcome in
Allegheny county, Pennsylvania. by
the production of a history of
1900 pages. the various divisions of which
were written by different citizens of the
county, men interested in their special
topics, and who pursued their investiga-
tons largely as a labor of love. The
ecclesiastical portion of the work was pre-
pared by representative clergymenof differ
emit denominations. One man writes of the
temperance movements, another sketches
the bench and bar. and another touches on
politics. The book, of course, contains a
vast amount of information, and being rep
resented as trustworthy will naturally be-
come invaluable as o public record, easy OF
reference.

MILWAUKEE servant girls threaten to
combine and strike for IS a day during the
week of the G. A. X. encampment, and as a
consequence the housekeepers and heads of
families in that city are not looking for
ward to the crowds of visitors with entire
composure. One of the most attractive
features of Edward Bellamy's next Cent
ury utopia is the elimination of the servant
girl problem by the establishment of public
kitchens. Possibly a modification of his
scheme offers the solution of the present
difficulty. Some experimental genius
ought, at least, to come to his country
women's aid by giving the plan a trial be-
fore the year 1000.
