the Legislature of the Province of

that it seemed useless 10 contest the

Technical Language.

A few years ago the funny men of
the press found fertile field for jokes
in the Lingo" of the Concord School Of
Philosophy. No doubt there is ludic-
rous sound to such invented phrases as
"the thingness of the is"-an imitation
of the sound of phrases really in use;
but one ought to be quite sure before
laughing at any phrase which one does
not understand that the inability to
comprehend it does not arise from ig-
norance.
0For example, when we read that
"the tolane dichloride of higher melt
ing point is probably the axially sym
metric modification, we are conscious
that we are reading species of Eng
lish, and painfully aware that we do
not know what it is all about-but no
one laughs at it as nonsense. It means
something to chemists.
Occasionally much more familiar
words than those in the sentence Just
quoted are used in a highly technical
sense, and only those who are trained
to follow metaphysical reasoning can
catch the idea that is to be conveyed.
Here is a very good example Of the
kind of writing alluded to.
It is the production of truly great
man-Moritz Hauptmann, the great
est authority of his time on the theory
OF music, and the instructor of such
famous composers as Felicien David,
Won Bulow, and Sir Arthur Sullivan.
And this is how Herr Hauptmann de-
fined sound
"The coming to be of the being which
subsists absolutely during rest, and
which is alternately abolished and re-
stored. Not being in self, or dead per-
sistence in rest, nor yet being out of
self in the motion, is sounding, but
coming to self"
We may say, for the comfort of our
readers, that Herr Hauptmann's def
milton and theory of sound are not now
accepted by men of science. So they
need never try to learn what he meant
by this strange congregation of words.

it seemed an eternity to melville I

Shortly she looked up and said, sor-

Alas! alas for him! he, too, is your
lover"
Gerald Fenton was in no wise super
stitious, but he could not help repress-
ing shudder at the strange story. It
was all plain to him now why she was
so terrified on the hills-only too
plain.

way of escaped" She looked up in
painful questioning. "Must it come?
she asked.
Don't grieve, dearest" Gerald re-
piled, soothingly; "the other may have
been simply a happening. Nothing
may ever come to separate us-not for
years at least"
But / fear we cannot avert it" she
sobbed. Il feel the icy chill of death
almost now. Your visit to the from
tiers next week, you know; that may
be the fatal excursion"
II need not go; it isn't really neces-
sary."
Theo sighed in relief
WELL" she said, 1T is very kind of
you to give up that excursion because
of my"
"Whims, Theo, whims. That ia
tality was only happening-death
comes to all, you know-and the
gypsy. perhaps, had no more of an in
sight into the future than we have"
But Theo did not reply to this al
though she tried heroically to persuade
her soul that Gerald was right.
Gerald felt strangely impressed with
Miss Thames revelation, however, and
attached more Importance to it than
he would own, and was very careful of
his goings, even in Hampstead The
evil might be outwitted, he thought.
It was beautiful day, one of those
perfect days in June over which poets
rave and writer's of romance must needs
weave into their stories, and Theo de-
clared sit was too lovely to remain in
DOORS"
She would walk to the meadows, and
beyond to the hills, perhaps. Once
among the low hills, she concluded to
Just take frightened peep into the
shady retreat of the spring.
Descending cautiously, through sun
and shadow, the girl reached the path
leading thither; here she paused; up
there on the shelving bank grew the
fateful blossoms profusely in the
springtide. This was only June, and
perhaps there We're few in bloom yet :;
if she could gather a few of them her
self it might make way OF escape for
Gerald; who knew?
Yes; they were like death-so white,
and Theo shiyered; but then
Now, where next could she step?

GOOD footing. Another effort and she
would be on the bank.
"Mercy!" The rock, which seemed
80 firmly imbedded in the earth, was
slipping from it's place. Theo reached
franticallv for the overhanging grass
X seemed for moment that the sod
would bear her weight until she could
regain her position, but it suddenly
gave way and she was precipitated to
the rocky bed below.
And there they found her, some hours
later, rigid in death. Gerald had found
the way of escape.
A ghastly wound in her temple,
from which the blood had trickled
down over the pebbles, told how, and
at what a fearful cost, the evil was
averted.
Bearing her tenderly away from the
fatal SPOT, and across the sunny mead
ows. they laid her down in the dear,
familiar rooms.
Within the stiffened fingers we're
found bit of grass and few white
blossoms.
Gerald Fenton bowed his agonised
face over that of his dead love. and
saw, with dumb, passionate pain, the
withered violets taken from the cold,
cold hands, "whiter than they"
Then moan of anguish burst from
his bloodless lips.
ooh, my God, why must this be,
when I love her so, and when Thou
art kind and loving Father?"
But there was not one to give answer.
Gerald Fenton went away forever
from that quaint little valley home
where he had been so happy.
Every foot of the dreamy meadows
breathed to him sweet memories that
would bring but unrest; but the hills,
those low, beautiful hills of Hemp
stead, where bloomed the fatal white
blossoms, had turned into things Of
evil and abodes of strange haunting
terror, and in their presence he could
not bear his bereavement.
So he went away, and the good peo-
pie of Hampstead tell of the gypsy's
warning in connection with the story Of
the accident, and say that it was but
the hand of fate.

p pa Silver Spear never had such q

The fail of the blue-bell saved
,.nah+v little Silver Spears life, for
large Wild cabbage with broad green
1aaSes Grew right side Of the blue bell,
and when Silver Spear tum6led lnso
the soft grass he crept under the broad
leaves and found it all nice and dry,
for the rsindrops ran in little stream
Of the smooth leaves, as if it had
been in reality an umbrella.
Poor, frightened little Silver Spear!
He was receiving a fearful punishment
for his discontentment and willfulness.
Everything must come to an end, 80,
Of course. after what appeared to Sill
YER smear to be an eternity, the pit
ter.natter Of the heavy raindrops
ceased and all was silent. :,
All! how hi. little heart beat and
how he trembled. He did not feel at
all sure what would happen next. Oh!
how sorry he was and how he repented
his naughtiness which came near cost
ing him his life.
Presently he fell asleep, curled up
in a little heap under the protecting
leaves of the cabbage, and when he
awoke it was night again. He could
not realize it, but he had slept all day.
He lay quite still and thought OF home
and made up his mind if he could only
see his dear mother and sisters once
more be would tell them how sorry he
was, and never disobey his kind father
again.
Hark! what was that? He sat up
and rubbed his eyes and listened.
There it was again, little voice like a
silver bell calling his name. He
jumped up, and with all his strength
he lifted up corner of the heavy leaf
and answered, "Here am" and there
he saw his father, with lantern in his
hand there was no noon, searching
for him. What happy little fellow
he was as he hurried home with his
father and was kissed and forgiven by
all the family.
And now in all fairyland there isn't
more obedient or better behaved lit
tie fairy than Silver Spear. He was
taught lesson by his disobedience
that he never forgot.
Aunt Kitty paused and little Flossie
drew long breath of relief. ooh, I'm
so glad little Silver Spear got home
safely, Aunt Kitty. He was naughty
little fairy, but I just love him anyway,

She was christened Theodosia, but
the good old name had long since been

The slender white fingers touched
the fragrant offering reluctantly, and
a terrified look crept into the blue
gray eyes.
"Do you not love violets?" he asked,
in surprised and panied accents; Il
thought they would please you, Theo. "
Gone couldn't help loving flowers"
she answered, evasively; "but-"
