HERE is a nugget OF sound sense
from the President OF the United
States. Last week w. 9. Cronemyer
of the United States, iron. steel and
tin plate works, at Demmler. Pa, sent
to President Harrison u box OF tin
manufactured at his works. The Presl-
dent in acknowledging the receipt of
tin, after thanking MIR. Cronemyer
for this evidence of the tin industry
said:
II cannot quite understand how any
American can doubt that we have me
ehanic Il skill and business sagacity to
establish successfully here the manu-
iaeturn OF tin plate. No other country
certainly suEpa saes US in the inven'
tive genius OF its citizens or in the
business sagacitY of its capitalists. II
Is surprising 10 me that any patriotic
American should approach this ques

inters sting experiment fail or with an
nnwlli lnRness to accept the evidences
OF its success. 1t will be great steT

Here is another chance for the Every
Evening to say that 1t is no American
tin at all, that the block tin came from
Australia, and the orc of which the lir
Elate is made was imported, and any.
aow this country would be much bet

Sister Rose Gertrude Wins.

A cablegram Of recent date says that
the parents and friends in England of
Amy Fowler, known in religion as Sis
ter Rose Gertrude, and who went last
year to nurse and teach the lepers at
Molokai, Sandwich Islands, had receiv-
ed letters from her announcing her mar
riage on April II, with DR.. Lutz. the
phisician in charge at the Settlement.
Richard E. Downing, who has befriend-
ed Sister Rose Gertrude in many WAYS
and greatly interested in her work,
said: " have not heard anything about
it, but as there have been similar stories
published before, all purporting to be
authoritative, / do not put much faith
in it. Her friends in Brooklyn receiv-
ed letter from her last week dated
April 5, but she did not say anything in
it about getting married"
Sister Rose Gertrude arrived in New
York city in Decem Der, 1889, from Bath.
England, where her father, the Rev.
Mr.. Fowler, is Protestant clergyman.
A few years before that she became a
Catholic aud determined to 20 to the
leper settlement at Molokai as a nurse.
She was informed that only members of
religious orders were allowed to work
among lepers, and joined the third order
of st. Dominic. Sister Gertrude may
have married DR.. Lutz and remain a
member of the third order.

such cyclone OF dust which ought to have

answer is he was right to say mud turtle in

turtle there, lie ought to remember that on
leaving his base to catch fly ball he came in

A certain father constantly told his daugh
tiers, " Girls, get new words in your vOcabu
laries!" 1t was plain his admonition was
needed. Seldom were girls met whose language
was as varied and picturesque as theirs. They
they intended. They used different phrases
to describe different feelings and sensations,
and the proper one appeared where it was
needed. After talking to the average girl, to
whom everything is lawfully sweet" or
simply dreadful" and whose terms for joy
predicted, it was pleasure as we'll as relief
to listen to these bright young people, whose
conversation showed what might be accom-
pished with a little effort.
The English language, made up as it is of
words derived from the principal languages of
the world holds immense possibilities for the
student. Those able to speak Or .write it easily,
who have ready command of a correct
phraseolOgy, possess power quickly recog-
nized and strongly felt. And it is a power
which a sufficient amount of study can give
to those willing to take the trouble to acquire
it,
Every one may not be able to write freely
and with the most agreeable effect to the read
er, although with the requisite amount of
pains, more could be done i'll this direction
than most people suppose. But it is at least
possible for young peOple-and some older peo-
ple-to get few new words in their vocabu-
larles' A book OF synonyms is an easily ac-
cesslble help. 1t could teach few adjectives

ego SOAK YOUR HEAD"

With some people it is a waste of words tl
reason seriously. The best way to answer them
is that adopted in the following poem for which,
we believe, the Memphis Commercial is respOn
sible:
Said Farmer Squash to Farmer Corn,
While grubbing stumps one day:
The glorious time is comm nigh
When can soak my hay"
Said Farmer Corn to Farmer Squash,
Why, drat my old gray mule,
What's that you say about yer hay T!
Yer talkin' like fool"
Then Farmer Squash he Strengthened up
His eyebrows lifted he;
Z" I'll soak my hay in 1872
In some sub-Treasuree.
"My cabbages I'll also pawn,
And punkins, oats and rye
I'll soak 'em all with Uncle Sam,
And yet he'll keep 'em dry.
And up the spout I'll shove my wheat,
Hypothecate my beans;
My carrots red III sandwiched he
With Anticipated greens.
"And fruit of hen of ancient date
I'll leave in Samuel's shop;
And when my mules get off their feed
I'll just put them in hook.
"And cotton, too, jes' hear me talk,
I'll soak it every bale;
And there she'll stay, fer many er day,
Till greenbacks all turn pale.
what's that you say erbout the cash,
About taxpayers means9
Why, what's the odds, when farmers bold
Get plenty in their jeans 2"
Then Farmer Corn oped he his mouth,
And said, said he, he said,
