Enrland,s Accountable English.

The common people in England
speak all sorts of dialectic abomina-
tions, but with the exception of perhaps
one man in 10000 they do not speak
anything that bears any respectable re-
lation to written English. The English
drawing burr is quite as unintelligible
and not half SO musical as that brogue
of the Irish which the English are so
fond of ridiculing. It's, on the whole,
nearly Us easy for an American to under
stand French porter rs an English
one, and if the FrencEnan pretends to
speak English he speaks it q hundred
times better than the Londoner does.
When it comes to proper names; names
of streets, or anything which cannot be
guess 4foln the context. the average
Londoner is as utterly unintelligible to
the ear unframed to the monstrosities
of his pronunciation as if he spoke
Choctaw. II is a thousand pitics that
the English cannot be taught to speak
the American language, which is q
hundredfold more clear, more classic,
more elegant and more consistent titan
the tongue spoken in England.-Chi-

The Use of unir Powder.

The rise and fall of hair powder is
one of the most interesting things in
the chronicles of fashion. In 1914 some
ballad singers at tho fair of st. Ger
mainc powdered their hair in order to
produce an eccentric figure. This is
tom;s buE SO slowly -dIu 1r-sTreau
century later, during tho reign of
George ], two ladies WHO powdered
their hair were laughed at, and at the
coronation of George III there were
only two hair dressers in London.
But in 1895 so universal had it be-
come that the annual amount of flour
used for hair powder was valued at
81, $50, 900, OF more than Sc, $50, 600,
and the number of persons wearing it
were estimated at 200, 000 Think of
the loaves of bread this flour which
went to serve a caprice of fashion
would have made? After this tho
fashion dwindled, until in 1903 the
amount of flour used for powder had
sunk to the value of about $500, 000.-

a Natural inquiry.

A certain witty bishop found hi'r-
self, few months ago, crossing thu
Bay of Fundy, from Digby to st. John,
in company with certain Mr. Caswell.
The Bay Of Fundy has a reputation
for turbulence only to be matched by
the English channel or the Bay OF Bis
cay. Mr. Caswell was struggling with
a violent attack of seasic!ness; but the
bishop, who was above such weakness,
was very cheerful and inclined to con-
versation.
He had failed, however, to catch Mfr.
Caswells name correctly, and persisted
in calling him "Mr. Aswell." At last
the sufferer in moment of ease cor
rected him. saying,
''Caswell, my lord; my name is Cas-
well, not Aswell."
"Oh" said the bishop, eying him
critically, asa new spas;n seized upon
his unhappy acquaintance. well,
Mr.. Caswell, don't you think you would
be Aswell without the sea2"-Harpers.

nj Of them:

found 10 buyer aud he offered to give

and he turned them loose in town. Tie
city marshal told him he would arrest
him unless he took them out of town.
The man then loaded them up and hauled

they would have him arrested. He then
drove home and was going TO kill them
when some one told him that he might
be arrested for cruelty to animals.

statement before a justice of the peace

3Some years ago, after a severe attack OF
brain fever, my hair all anne out. / used
such preparations for restoring 1t as my ply
sicians ordered, but failed to produce a
growth of hair. l then tried. excessively,
several articles recommended by druggists,
and all alike fell short of accomplishing the
desired result. The last remedy / applied
was Ayers Hair Vigor, which brought a
growth of hair in a few weeks. 1 think I
used eight bottles in two years; more than
was necessary as a restorative, but l liked it
as a dressing, and have continued to use it
for that purpose. I believe Ayers Hair
vigor possesses virtues far above those of
any similar preparation now on the market"
