and Silver Spear never had such
shaking-up before IN all his little life.
The fall Of the bIue-beu saved
naughty little Silver Spears life, for
large wild cabbage with broad green
leaves grew right side of the blue-bell,
and when Silver Spear tumbled into
the soft grass he crept under the broad
leaves and found 1t all nice and dry,
for the raindrOps ran In a little stream
off 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 vii fulness.
Every thing must come to an end, so,
Of course, after what appeared to Sill
sver Spear to be an eternity, the pit
ter-patter of the heavy raindrops
ceased and ali was silent.
All how his little heart beat and
how he tremb1ed. 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, curIed up
in little heap under the protecting
leaves of the cabbage, and when he
awOke it was night again. He coull
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 he 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 q
silver bell calling his name. He
jumped up, and with all his strength
he lifted up a 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 a 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 fairyIand there isn't

taught a lesson by his disobedience
that he never forgot.

Technical Language.

A few years ago the funny men OF
the press found fertile field for joker
in the lingo" of the Concord School OF
Philosophy. No doubt there is a 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.
ClFOr example, when we read that
"the tolane dichIoride of higher melt
ing point is probably the axially SYM
metric modification, we are conscious
that we are reading a species of Eng
ish, 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
LLLtlI-uLOLlCL LIdu lJJl41dL1l, GllO great
est authority of his time on the theory
Of music, and the instructor of such
famous composers as FeIicien 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
