How He Learned English.

"You know the story of the man who had
arccipe for learning any language in TWEEN
ty-four hours?' asked Senior Federico Mora,
of Costa Rica, at the Sherman house. ut is
extremely simple. Just divide the language
into twenty-four parts and learn one part
each hour. didn't do itquitc like that, but
Invent at the English language the longest
way round. Twas a boy 10 years old, and
had gone to Latin school where we had
to speak Latin altogether. | knew that a
great many words in English were of Latin
derivation. and set myself to learn the
language. | got me pronouncing die
tionary and then went to work.
at was hard work, and at the end of two
years found [ bad learned hundreds of
words that | should never use, that most
English speaking people do not even know
the meaning of. In English you have only
about 10000 words; in Spanish there are
about half a million. You make your
propositions do the work that VIC have
special words for. You have about los ir-
regular verbs, irregular in two lenses only.
We have about $1,000 irregular verbs,
which may be irregular in any and all
lenses. Nevertheless man may learn
Spanish easily in a year sufficient for com.
mercial purposes "-Chicago Tribune.

Pierre rushed to the hatchway and went

Biting smoke filled his throat. The
wretched Jean had made good use of his
| five minutes grace. He had empted the
keg of brandy upon a hoap of tarrcd rope
and already the entire hold was in flames.
How was Pierre to quench the fire? Five
men would not have sutficed for that.
Then Pierre sat down on the bench at
the stern and mechanically seized the
tiller, clinging instinctively to the life he
was about to quit Almost at once the
wind had fallen. The sea was yet dis
turbed, but its fury had visibly weakened.
Pierre remained upon the bench as if
stupefed, hearing the blank partitions
crack beneath him as the fire gnawed
them. Suddenly Il jet of red flame escaped
through the open hatchway. The deck
was burning.
From minute tom minute the fire increased.
Shortly before the sea sweeping over the
smack would have cNtinguished it, or at
least fought it. Now, having doubtless
escaped from the furious circle of the hur-
ricane, the vessel no longer shipped water.
1t went along inert, tossed from wave to
wave, plunging and coming up again, send
ing forth, as each succeeding billow lifted
it, a binding plume of fire.
The remainder of the wind that was
blowing coming from behind, it was TO the
fore of the smack that the flames made
Roadway For the half hour his agony had
lasted Pierre had rrnaned mOtionless,
staring aroun him at the bloody light
with which the blazing smack empUrpled
the waves. Now, Suddenly feeling the APP
preaching fire, he throw himself upon his
knees, made the sign Of the cross ald fell
fat ON the deck, his fac against the burn

perhaps. Suddenly shouts burst upon his
ear. He raised his heaC;; there very near

"Ho there cried voice.
Pierre opened his lips to reply. Rut just
at that moment he felt the smack sink be-
meath him and a food of salt water roughly
fill his mouth and ears.
Pere Landure's vessel plunged down
ward, bow first.
When he came to himself, lying upon
his back il the lifeboat, Pierre saw huge
bearded face bending over him. As he
opened his eyes the face spoke:

that we should never have seen you amid

The CInlrrornnt,s Adrice.

At least one South side girl has lost faith
in the subject of clairvoyance. In answer
TO newspaper advertisement she sent 81,
together with loci, of her hair, age, size
and personal characteristics to cl2irvoyant
at Cincinnati, resting secure in the belief
that no one would ever know anything
about it. The result pleased her SO much
that her secret was intrusted to half
dozen friends, and the story is out. The
young lady had signed her surname and
initials thus: "F. n. JONES'" instead of
Fannie n Jones'"
BY return mail came forecast of her
future, which, among other things, said:
''Shun the light girl; the brunette is the
one foI ~. l.. MrasIy. DewAus - false
friend who seeks to Cstrange you; he wishes
to wed her himself. You will live long and
be happy, and will gain the love of the girl

1t has been recently stated that Il prize
offered some years ago for the discovery of
some means whereby the inexperienced
might Gt once determine whether in a
given case death had or had not occurred
was won By physician who had discover
ell that il = light were placed behind the
hand Of the supposed dead person a scarlet
tint woGld be apparent where the fingers
touched each other if life was not extinct,
and that il no rcd glow was visible death
had taken place.
DR.. W. =. Richardson has written an es-
say in which he states that although this
test has its value, it is not by any means to
be trusted rs an uufailing indication of
life or death. He gives the case Of a per-
son in . state OF syncope to whom the test
was most carefully applied. Not the faint
est sign of rcd coloratiou between the
fingers could be traced, yet the recovery of
the syncope was complete, and was effect
ed without any artificial aid
Dr. Richardson regards it as q good test,
but is Of tho opinion that more certain
proofs are: The pulsation, the respiratory
murmur, pressure on veins, the electric
test for muscular irritability, the ammo

That sweeps her breezy hills.

But my dreams come back to Scotland,
And pride lifts up my soul
To recount her deeds Of glory,
And read her hero roll.
In the far off VaudoiS valleys
\ thousand martyrs sleep,
And old Rome's profanc arenas
Their bloody records keep;
But God has noble witnesses
In that dear land know.
And the air floats songs of freedom
Where'er her rivers flow.
Speak to me then of old Scotland,
Her heather and her men,
And the lorlly thistle waving
On guard in every glen;
Then my heart will swell in rapture
To freedoms mountain throne.
And I'll bless the power that made it,

Powder Instead of Soap.

You don't exactly drop nickel in the
SLOT but you sec in front of you at the
wash basin nickel plated cylinder, about
eight inches high and an inch and half
in diameter, rising above the basin upright
from the outer end of an arm which is at
tached to the upper end of the pipe from
which the water faucet projects. At the
lower end of the cylinder you see little
handle. On the front of the cylinder is a
plate which says: Soap. Wet your hands
and pull the handle" With one hand you
pull; the other you hold under the cylin-
der, and a little dash Of white powder falls
upon it. As you proceed to wash your
hands you find that it is soap powder, and
if you were to talk with the inventor he
would doubtless tell you that in hotels and
other public wash rooms this is cheaper
and cleaner than the cake of soap that
goes swimming.-New York Sun.

SOBER THOUGHTS.
A Bit of 9Ioralizing Appropriate to New
Years Day.

From time immemOrial the new year
has been the season for fresh and good
resolutions. We can even imagine
Caesar himself, shortly after the reforma-
ton of the calendar, resolving that he
would cease to think again of a kingly
crown, and Lucullus resolving that no
banquets of peacocks' tongues and night
ingales' brains should cost more than so
many sestertii, Cataline resolving on no
more conspiracies, and Cicero upon less
talking. And doubtless long before their
time there was some other day set apart
and made memorable by this same Gus
tom, for even when Adam and Eve left
Eden they must have made'a resolve to
eat no more apples of the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil, should they
chance to come across them.

Two Cottages.

Reform neve get through with theil
raving over the gift OF a seaeidc cottage
to the wife OF President Harrison?
The men who presented that cottage
bought it with their own money, and
there is no suspicion that its value is to
be enhanced by expanding the public
money to build fine drives leading 10 it,
Mr.. Cleveland bought his Red Tor
cottage, it is true; and after tho Dis

The compromise measure agreed on

az unsatisfactory to tho FREQ coinage men
as no bill nj MI would be. They content
themselves, 30 far rs they arc contented
at all, with tho hope OF doing better for

They are not only displeascd with the
omission OF the free coinage provision

A feature Of the measure which has
not received It's due attention, Is that the
quantity of silver to be purchased is
moro than the product OF tho mines OF
the United States. Why Congress

menting upon the Herold's statement
that the pension list OF the United States
costs more than the German army, says:

German army ever save the Union OF

No! But the German army has fought
three wars since 1864, has defeated pow
erful military empires and made Ger.
many a united nation. This was as great
an achievement, from q German point OF
view, as the preservation OF the Union
from ours.
The Germans, when their work was
done, went hone-good soldiers, becom.
ing good cl.;zeHs. The Americans did
the SAINT thing. Those who deserved
pensions received them. Graut es;ima.
ted the sum necessary at twenty.seven
million dollars annually. A little later
Garfield, with apologies aud regrets,
raised the amount to thirty.eight million
dollars. The pension agents and pro.
t%ectionists put their heads together, and
as soon as Grant was out OF the way
rushed the annual SUN up to q hundred
millions, the cry being still for more!

spect to it's needy veteran soldiers, can.
not in fairness be urged againbt the

Nor is the question Of cost Of first i'm.

to do justice to the men who risked
their lives in its defense. We promised
them that they should be held in CRATE.
full remembrance, and that II they fell
on the field or succumbed to the diseases
Of the camp their widows and orphans
should not suffer.
Ii it be said that pension agents are
getting rich and that some men get more
than their disabilities entitle them to, it
may be said in reply that in any county
in the loyal States are to be found old
soldiers who receive much less than they
should have in view OF their service,
their disabilities and their helpless con.
dition. 1t is not easy to see how the
army budget Of any other country has a
bearing, immediate or remote, on these
