Regarding the Emmett celebration in
Kansas City. the Times says:
1.-THE address of the evening was de.
livered by Hon. A. p. McGuirk, of Dav-
export, Iowa. and was in every way
worthy of the orator. The speaker took
for his theme the dying sentiment of EN-.
met that his epitaph should not be writ
ten until Ireland should be free. and from
that urged upon all present the impor.
lance of uniting to continue the fight
for that great cause. This. he said. was
the central thought In the life of the
martyr they had gathered to honor,
and could he speak it would be the
message he would now convey. They
had gathered to commemorate this hero,
but had also to commemorate the pa
triotism which has marked his life. and
which could only be satisfied with the
freedom of Ireland. To that end the
Irish should organize and continue the
war so ably conducted by the parliamen.

Automatic Spelling.

An American writer expresses the
hope that, before the typewriter is
many years older, some inventive ge-
MUS will have been able to compass
the problem how to give it some sort
of dictionary attachment, which will
enable it to spell better than it does at
present. Our transatlantic contempt
rary is quite right The typewriter is
telltale instrument. Itconceals moth
ing. 1t is in that respect very unlike
the pen, and especially the quill pen,
the breadth of whose stroke, like char
ity, covers a multitude of sins-in Or
biography. Speaking generally, every
body who is not good speller should
write with as broad a nib as possible.
If it is even little fluffy at the point,
why, SO much the better. The great
thing, of course, is to write as vaguely
as may be-to leave as much as may
be to the imagination. Our contem-
porary raises the important question
Of lie" and lei, >" of 'lble'' and liable"
How often an uncertainty in regard
to these two combinations is got
over by the simple addition of
little more obscurity to the
unintellig4bility of ones handwrit-
ingl 1t is, indeed, whispered that
there are people who actually cultivate
a rather blurred caligraphy in order
to disguise an photographic weakness
which would otherwise be only too APP
parent The typewriter, it is clear,
must be avoided by such persons-un-
less, indeed, the suggested attachment
can be made And then, conceive the
popularity of the machine-imagine
the run upon it, its almost universal
adoption. Of course, the thoroughly
educated person always spells correct
ly, but how many are thoroughly ed
ucated, or, if they ever were so, have
been able to retain their acquirements2

Queer Kentucky Lingo,

Egbert Craddock did not find or no

Here man who wants to say he fired
two shots says he shot two shots. The
western expression of getting the drop
is never used, a mountaineer saying
instead that he ''throwed his gun
furst. The prefxes in and i'm are
not known, I'm being used instead, as
impossible, " for instance. To mis-
list man is to deceive and i'll treat
him, and when man says his word
is his iint'' he wants to convey the i'm
preston that he is speaking as truth
fully as if under oath. The queer ex-
presSlons are so numerous that it is
hard to understand all that is said.

Her Heavy FOOTBALLS.

A clever actor was playing the role

FIJI u, lmelodrama, and although the
mouse was trdII empty, he was working
as hard as he could at the only good
scene in the play. He had Just finish

spoken the cue for the heroine's en-
trance: Away She comesl | hear

speech the property man accidentally
dropped sixteen pound shot down
the staircase which led to the dressing
rooms. There was succession of de-
Hberate crashes, which somewhat re-
rembled the footsteps of a giant, and
the audience saw the ludicrous side of
the situation at once.
The actor stood rooted to the spot,
bursting with suppressed laughter
and not knowing what to do. The
leading lady was unfortunately some
what stout, and, on hearing the noise,
refused to make her entrance, vowing
that the whole thing had been ar
ranged for the purpose of insulting

How Doctors Disapree.

How much do doctors know9 Not
much for certain, that is certain.
Else there would not be so much dis
agreement among them, not only in
diagnosing or attempting to cure dis
eases, but also in means for prevent
ing them. There is not an article
used by man for food, drink or raj
ment that has not been both recon-
mended and condemned by physicians,
frequently without consideration for
the varying natures and environment
of men. a few years ago there was a
great pother because of the habit,
among both men and women, of hold
ing up certain articles of clothing by a
snugly fitting waist band, and all
sorts of contrivances were invented for
women, patterned after mems braces.
Now out comes an English doctor with
series of causes for consumption,
among which is this: braces are an
othercurse of civilization-by suspend
ing the weight of our clothes from the
shoulders instead of fastening them in
the savage and natural way by CIR
die round the waist. Boston Tran

Market Gardeners.

The number of market wagons that
come over from New Jersey and Long
Island during the evening is exceed
ingly large. In order to get an idea
of their traffic one has only to think
OF the enormous amount of vegetables,
fruit, eggs and garden produce that is
used every day to feed a great city like
New York. At midnight or before a
start is made from the outskirts of the
neighboring towns on either shore,
and from that time until few hours
of daybreak the ferry boats and ferry
houses are alive with wagons and
carts. The horses know their duties so
well that driving is scarcely necessary,
and 1t IS not an uncommon sight to see
a horse pulling a cart on which is
seated some old farmer quite fast
asleep. AS soon as they get into town
they steer for the various markets
along the North river and sit on their
wagons wrapped up in blankets until
dawn, or until purchasers come along
to buy their wares. There is CON
siderable competition among the far
mers for favorable places in which to
stand their carts, and late arrivals are
not SO fortunate in their sales as are
those who get into town earlier. The
life of Long Island or New Jersey
farmer is not altogether a happy one.
He works in the field all day, and has
to depend for whatever sleep he can
get during the interval of his arrival
in the city and 5 or 6 o'clock in the
evening. New York News.

Court Pageants.

Paris has not witnessed any very
splendid pageant for more than TWEEN
ty years. Parisians who remember
the display of Napoleon III when. in
1867, he was visited in turn by nearly
every crowned head in Europe, and
by at least one Aslatic potentate, can
find nothing that has taken place since
to equal it. France is republican. and
since the downfall of the empire has
become less ostentatious.
1t used to be the boast of Spain
that the court of Madrid was the only
great court of Europe. Madrid es sola
corte, the Spaniards used proudly to
declare in their musical tongue; but
the glories of the old Spanish court
have pretty much passed away. There
is still more stiff and rigid ceremo-
NAL, indeed, at the Madrid palace than
in any other. and host of royal SER
wants pass daily through a strict rou-
tine; but even coronations and royal
baptisms are performed with far less
brilliancy of ceremony than formerly.
Rome rarely witnesses a great royal
pageant, while it is deprived, to some
extent at least, of the stately parades
made by the pope and his cardinals
when he was the temporal ruler of the
Eternal City.
The German pageants of the modern
day are, for the most part, great mill
tary reviews and maneuvers, designed
to set forth the armed proves Of the
empire, and the same may be said of
those of the Austrian court. Troy

Difficulties of Portrait PAINTING.

Portraits in oil are seldom faithful
Licensees of the subjects. The other
day local portrait painter was asked
why this was SO, and he said it was al
most invariably the fault of the subject
especially SO in the case of woman.
With a photograph or crayon portrait
the subject never saw the work until
it was presented complete, while with a
portrait in oil the subject gave sittings
and suggestions-lots of suggestions,
too. The painter was working for
money. He must please his subject
in order to give satisfaction and earn
his money, and consequently he was
obliged to accept suggestions. These
might please the subject by making
her look prettier, but they would
nearly always spoil the likeness. Por-
trait painting, he said, was the most
unsatisfactory branch of the art, and
portrait painters always aged more
rapidly than did those who devoted
their talents to other branches. Chi
