No Prices on Women.s Headwear.

Two men stood in front of the show
window of a Wabash avenue millinery
concern looking at the styles and guess
ing at the prices. Of course, neither
had any sort of idea about the articles
on exhibition. Then they went in and
asked the foor-walker how near they
had come to guessing at the prices.
After she had told them one of the men
asked: "Why don't you put the prices
on your goods the same as clothiers do
on what they exhibit in their win
dows?'' ''You betray IN ignorance

AN AMERICAN LANGUAGE,

Nee likely That English Will Ever he
Relegated.
That there will ever be any broad
divergence between the English lam
guage and American speech, such, for
example, as differentiates the Portu-
guese from the Spanish, is now alto-
gether unlikely. A divergence as wide
as this has been impossible since the
invention of printing, and it is even
less possible since the schoolmaster
has been abroad teaching the same A
B c in London. New York, Sydney
and Calcutta Although it has ceased
absolutely to be British, the chief liter
allure of North America is still English,
and must remain so, just as the chief
literature of South America is still
Spanish. Senior Juan Valera, declaring
this truth in the preface of his delight
full "Pepita Ximenez," reminds us that
1.-THE literature of Syracuse, of Antioch
and of Alexandria was as much Greek
literature as was the literature of
Athens" In like manner we may re-
call the fact that Lucan, Seneca, Mar
tial and Quinctilian were all of them
Spaniards by birth.
That any one country shall remain or
become at once the political, financial
and literary center of the wide series
of Anglo-Saxon states which now en-
circle the globe is almost equally un-
likely. But we may be sure that that
branch Of our Anglo-Saxon stock will
use the best English and will perhaps
see its standards of speech accepted by
the other branches, which is most Wig
orous physically, mentally and moral
ly, which has the most intelligence,
and which knows its duty best and
does it most fearlessly.-Brande Mat
thews, in Harper's Margarine.

TELL NE SOMETHING KIND,

II thou canst tell me something kind
That has been thought of me,
If thou canst lift my spirit up
To moods Of buoyancy,
Then speak the words, pray thee, dear,
However light they seem.
Withhold not from me anything
That adds to nfe's sweet dream.
II thou canst tell me OF some one
Whom have CHANGED to aid,
II thou canst point to me some spot
That have brighter made,
Then softly whisper unto me,
In accents fond and low.
The kind truth never hurts nor harms,
But sets the heart aglow.
So como with light and warmth and chez,
To meet me every day.
Reflect to me the worlds bright smiles,
And hide its frowns away.
Oh! hast thou sorrows of thine ownf
Have others injured thee9
unburden as thou wilt, thou'lt feel
My tender sympathy.
But il some cruel, needless tongue
Has uttered words Of hate,
With justice or injustice cursed
My errors, hesitate
Before thou tell'st me what will bring
But shadows in my life.
God knows We all have need OF love
To calm our secret strife!
II thou canst tell me something kind
That has BEEN thought or spoken,
II thou canst lit a spirit up
Too oft by treach'ry broken.
Repeat it, dear, my faith inspire,
However vain it seems;
For would fain be trustful still,
Nor wake from life's sweet dreams.

Ground for SUSPICION.

The French have a proverb. "Qui
s'excuse, s'accuse," h. who excuses
himself, accuses himself. This was ev-
identity in the mind of NJ. de Solilhac,
whose amusing account of his ride in
diligence is quoted by the Baron du
Case in his volume of "Souvenirs."
My companion in the coupe was a
litigant who was going to Neufchater
to sustain a lawsuit against NJ. de Hol-
lande, of Amiens, who demanded of
him the payment of debt, and who
repudiated as false the receipted bill
which my companion showed.
He gave me the argument in his de-
tense to read, and l had no sooner
looked it over than fastened to put in
my pocket my purse, which 1 had
placed in a pocket of the carriage. He
exclaimed with considerable feeling
that in taking this precaution did him
an injustice.

beets as they are brought to the
mill. This tax is levied by the ton.
The result in Germany was that the
beets were greatly improved in
quality-the effort being to get as
much sugar as possible into the ton
of beets. Having, by means of the
tax, greatly increased the percent
age of sugar in beets, Germany has
now removed it and placed direct
tax on sugar consumption.
