THREE ENGLISH DIALECTS.
What Might Have lscen-Inhuences Which
Modify Our l.an.yunrc.

What Might Have lcen-InAuences Which
Modify Our Language.
In recently published work, Rev DR..
Skeate, author Of the only genealogical die
tionary Of the English language that has
any permanent scientific value, declares that
the whole character of the language now
spoken in England and North America
might have been changed if London had been
founded north instead of south of the
Thames
The statement will not seem so strange
when we recall the fact that London was tho
center OF literary English" during tho form
ative period of what may be called tho
modern language. Before tho beginning of
that period, the dialects spoken north of the
Thames and now divided by students of
English into Northern" and midland" diff
fcrcd widely from the dialect of southern
England-a dialect which became Literary
English" even before King Alfrcd's time. 1t
is now generally known as "Anglo-Saxon,"
and with tho exception of n few fragments,
CLOSES and Inscriptions, tho entro remains
of English literature up to the time of tho
Norman conquest are written in it.
These three dialects of spoken English have
been greatly multiplied since the English
stock has been scattered over tho world, and
in spite of printing and rules of pronunca-
tion this multiplication must so OH. The
laws of languages, so far rs they have been
Observed seem to make it impossible thai tho
same language should bc spoken i'll our terri
tory of Alaska and in the English provinces of
Australia. From Alaska to the tropics. from
the tropics to the South Pole, written Eng
lish is tho same language. but the real Ian
guage is tho spoken sound, not tho written
symbol. Subjected to different influences of
locality and climate, the language ndapts it.
self to them. The same written English
word will convey the idea to tho brain of
the Englishnan in Calcutta that it does to
the American in Sitka, but if our co ony i'll
Sitka becomes u permanent American settle
ment, and Calcutta remains under English
control long enough to develop an English
stock native to India through IL dozen gcncr-
ations, the written symbol will stand for
widely different sounds This is prol,abil-
ity SO strong that it may almost be stated
without qualification.
The difference between the language as it
is pronounced by educated men in London,
New York and New Orleans is already SO
plain as TO enable the Londoner, the New
Yorker and the native of New Orleans to de-
tect each other at oncc-something that
could not be prevented by any amount of
study they might mutually devote to the
same dictionary rulcs.-St Louis Republic.

Holding Their Shoulders Back.

Fashionable girls in New York are appar-
emily gone daft on the question of square
shoulders Anything to equal the pose young
women now affect is difficult to imagine.
While they are on their feet they are beauti-
full to look upon, and beyond criticism or
cavil. 1t is when they are seated that tho
great and glaring flaw of the present artid-
cial and fashionable construction of the
American young girl becomes evident.
While they succeed in holding their shoulders
back, it is impossible to keep the neck at tic
same angle, when seated unless tleir faces
are held at the same level cs tie floor.
Hence, their heads necessarily ,.roop for
ward, leaving long and noticeable distance
between the neck and tic back of tie high
collars 1t gives the effect OF cut throat suf-
ferins. But 1t is remedied when the girl
leans forward again, or rises to her feet.
Then everything fits in with the correct and
shapely beauty that is the second nature of
Americas most beautiful and famous pro-
duct.-The Argonaut.

Customs of New Zealandcrs,

Formerly the New Zealanders worshiped
various gods, apparently personifications OF
natural objects and powers, to WON they
addressed prayers and offered sacrifices.
There we're no idols, their gods being invisi-
bic; many Of them deifed men. Quarrels in
the carly times We're principally about wo.
mcn and land. Thcnatires still tattoo them
selves, a, d make their faces look hideous.
That, Ln vever, is simply matter of taste,
for they think that purple in the cheeks and

Then there are number of wooden pens and

REFLECTED.

Your heart Is like beautiful smooth pool,
That mirrors clear whatever bends above
Warm with the sun, and with the evening cool.
So, love 1t gives mo. il bring it love
My grief lies in your heart as in my own,
My gladness flashes back from you to me;
No passing cloud Of thought is mine alone,
Reflected In your mind each thought l see
Why Is it, then, that am not contents
What do long fors Is there more than this
That you should know each unsaid thing meant,
And give me thought for thought, and kiss for
kiss!
And yet, sometimes. grow to hate the thing
That. tmaged in your heart, lies clear and fair;
What Is beneath the love or thought bringy
What hidden in the depths or shadows there?

the thirteenth Blakelock WAS groggy. but
plucky. Carroll got in some vfious upper-cuts
but could not knock the little man out. In the
fourteenth Biakeiock was still full of fight and

BIG CAR SHOPS BURNED.
A Loss to the Jersey Central Railroad Of
Over S3OO.OOO

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, March 20.-The extensive
car and paint shops of the Central railroad of
New Jersey, at Ashley, about miles from here
were destroyed by fire at / o'clock this morn
ing. The buildings were of brick, erected in
1857; immense structures in the form Of sec
ton of a round-house. About 200 men were
employed in them. The fire spread with such
rapidity that nothing was saved. The work.
men lost their tools causing aggregate loss
to them of $4,000 or more. The buildings
belong to the Lehigh coal and navigation COM
pany, and we're leased by the Central railroad
OF New Jersey. 1t is estimated that the ioss on
buildings will reach fully $4,000. The prop
erty within the walls of the buildings besides
the property of the employees already men,
toned were several baggage and smoking cars,
two passenger coaches freight cabooses, gon-
dolas and coal cars. All of these were con-
sumed. The loss on rolling stock alone will
foot up to $500, 600, and the loss on paints and
materials will reach from 5000 to $4,000.
The buildings and stock were entirely insured,
but the workmen had no insurance protection.

Wholesale Attempt at Jail Breaking at
JeffersOnville Last Evening.

JeffersonvilIe Last Evening.
LOUISVILLE, n.y., March 20.-The prisoners
in the Jail at Jeffersonville made an attempt to
escape last evening about dusk. Ed. Powell, a
river pirate. had sawed out several bars of the
large cage which surrounds the cells, and thus
set nearly dozen prisoners at liberty, two of
them being murderers. Once outside of the
cage, 1t was easy to get out on the roof by
means. of an open skylight. and thence the
prisoners intended to climb down to the ground
by an iron pipe. A little girl saw the men
coming out on the roof and gave the alarm to
the sheriff, who is also the jailer.
SHERIFF HAY SEIZED A REVOLVER
and ordered the prisoners to return to their
cells, but they refused, and Powell slid down
the pipe and escaped The other prisoners
we're huddled together under the skylight and
the sheriff, to frighten them. he said, fired at
them. Dick Jones received the shot just back
of the left shoulder and FELL and the others
then returned to their cells. The bullet passed
into Jones left lung, and the doctor thought
last night that the wound was fatal. Jones is a
housebreaker. and his name is an assumed one

From Wall Street To-Day,

New YORK. March 20, ii a. m.-Except for
Atchison, Northwestern, and Chicago gas, the
stock market was quiet at the opening this
morning, and first prices in sympathy with the
London market were all lower, declines from
last evenings figures extending to q per cent
in the general list, while Burlington and Quincy
was exceptional with loss Of l per cent.
There were further slight losses in some stocks.
but the only marked decline was in Rock Island,
which dropped q per cent, the others being
confined to slight fractions. The market re-
manned only fairly active until toward i0:3o
when there was more animation, accompanied
by general upward movement, which. how
ever, was also confined to small fracti ms, ex-
cept in the case of Chicago gas, which advanced
nearly point. In the late rally, however,
Lackawanna, Burlington, Rock Island, Missouri
Pacific, and Atchison, all Of which had shown
some weakness in the early trading, were prom
inent, and all reached above the opening
prices. Toward II o'clock the market again
quieted down, but remained firm, and at the
end Of the hour was at the best prices reached.
