Some Singular English.

Among the permanent results of the
latest Worlds Fair is the Practical
Guide of the Exhibition Paris 1899.
English-spearing persons who are so
fortunate as to possess this book will
cherish it. AS ar example of English
''as she is wrote" it is immeasul ably
superior TO the songs of the Sweet
Singer of Michigan, and is in every
respect worthy of shelf room by the
side of that standard Portuguese work,
English as She is Spoke"
Here are some extracts: "The uni
versal exhibition says the Practical
Guide, "for whom who comes there
for the first time is a true chaos, in
which it is impossible to direct and
recognize ones self without guide )"
and i'll order til, t he may set out
properly equipped, the stranger is
provided with certain general in
formations" among which is tn
"Constables are affected in Fer
manent manner at the service of every
wicket. The chief controller has to
concert him with tie police chief at
the exhibition to assure the regu az
execution of the entrance"
Under the head of "The Exhibition
Seen in Straight Line" the visitor
is conducted to the "Tower EifTel,"
and there the Practical-Guidc has a
chance to show what can be done in
the way of putting French descriptive
writing into English. Although many
persons 'p~ophelized' that the tower
never could be built, there it stands,
and it ''astonishes and lets in eXiasy'
all who behold il. On one of the land
ings q ''ceffee room offers us refresh
ment of various kinds, and all in
drinking book, or tasting glass, we
discover the most splendid panorama
which it may be possible to fancy

are very plainly, because you see the
four sides which are holed by the win
dows, symetric like points of d ce, so
well that Paris hes an appearance of
vast party of BIZ ibi played 10y a giant
on a green carpet" Concei ming the
height of the tower the Practical
Guide says: "In such a way that the
monument erected to Washington at
Philadelphia, which was before the
highest of the globe, is still over passed
l3l metres"
