The English people, having way Of
changing the sounds ofvowels in speech,
gradually converted each one of them
into something quite different.
The change is going on still. The
vowel a in London speech is gradually
receiving the sound of long i. An
American in London is asked if he

zled until he discovers that this is Eng

This tendency has become SO marked
that the "pipers" themselves have be-
gun, at least in n whimsical way, to
print words which have a long a with a
y instead. The Pail Mall Gazette in an

where Do You Part Your Hair?

talked the matter over with a physi-
clan once, and lie said it might be only
a coincidence, but that at least nine
men out Of ten sleep on their right
side, because by so doing digestion is
aided and the action of the heart is left
undisturbed.
That, think, accounts for the hair
parting, because the warmth of the side
of the headpressed into the pillow great
ly aids the growth of the hair, and man
naturally parts his hair SO as to brush
it In the direction of the greatest
growth. This also accounts for what
almost every one who has tried to keep
his mustache and beard evenly trimmed
must have noticed-that he has to trim
the right side more frequently than the
left. Warmth is the best hair tonic
and invigorator discovered, especially {
moist heat, such as is produced by con
fined perspiration. Interview in st

THE RED RAN IN POLITICS.

He Knows All the Tricks the White Man
Knows, and Possibly Few More.
J. D. Bradford is connected with the
Choctaw Railway company, of the In
dian Territory. He was chatting with
group of local politicians, and Colonel
Babcock remarked that Mr.. Bradford
was in land blessed with no politics.
"You are wrong" exclaimed Mr..
Bradford. 1.-THE cleverest politicians
in the United States are in our terri
tory"
"Who are they~
''The Choctaw Indians have no equals
in practical politics in any land in the
world, and / won't debar the state of
Indiana either You know the Chloe
taws have a governor elected by the
people, and legislative body called
the Choctaw national legislature. This
house holds regular sessions, and they
make laws, roll logs, establish rings,
and do everything else that politicians
can think Of When Governor Jones,
young halfbreed, was elected gov
ernor we witnessed one Of the greatest
campaigns ever fought. When our
railroad pierced the coal mines of the
Choctaw nation several of the old red
men attempted to get possession of
most of the mines and make us pay
dearly for the coal. They failed, and
have cried corporation ever since.
$50 when the gubernatorial candi-
dates began to show their hands Jones
took the high moral ground that he was
against our railroad and all those who
favored it, He went in the fight with
this sentiment as watchword, and was
elected. But it was an exciting fight
During the campaign if Jones wanted
to communicate with a man fifty miles
away he would send a man with verbal
messages. The other candidates fol-
. lowed this example, and no written let
tiers figured in the campaign. The day
before the voting a Messiah story was
turned loose in the sections of the ma
ton where Jones was not popular, and
the people left to see the Messiah, thus
losing their votes.
ION this same day number of lead
ing Indians who were working against
the election of Jones were summoned
to Washington by bogus kilograms tc
talk with the great father And so il
went. Every conceivable trick was re.
sorted to. After Jones had been de
clared duly elected and had taken his
seat it was discovered that one precinct
which gave him 1875 majority, was in
habited by less than seventy-fve PEG
pie. When it comes to counting votc'
and political scheming the Choctaw In
dams will certainly get a place l vii

THEY ALL WORE GOGGLES.
The Very Remarkable Story Told by a
Trustworthy Fisherman.

Trustworthy Fisherman.
II struck great snap fishing up at
Peewaukee, Wis, a few weeks ago."
said q Detroit drummer after several
large, abnormally developed fish stories
had been swallowed by the little coterie
that surrounded him. "a friend of
mine who works for an electrical con-
struction company at Milwaukee has
invented a submarine electric light,
and we went up to Peewaukee to try
it. 1t worked like a charm Greatest
success imaginable. In fairly clear
water it is possible to light up the bot
tom of the lake for quite distance.
Imagine lighting a big bonfire on the
bottom of the lake and fishing by the
light of it.
That's about what it is like. The
whole operation is so simple that it is
queer that it was not thought of long
ago. A strong battery is carried in the
stern of the boat. The craft is rowed
out to the fishing ground and anchored
securely. The submarine lamp is low
cred over the side of the boat and a
push upon the button does the rest. A
white light below renders all objects
within a radius of twenty feet of ii
plainly visible. Then the sport begins
in earnest.
''The fish are attracted by the light
and swim toward it to investigate the
unusual phenomenon that has startled
them. Somewhat timid at first they
soon grow holder and swarm about the
lamp. 1t is the easiest thing in the
world then to drop hook right under
the biggest fellow in the lot-a jerk
and he is yours No pole is necessary
q reel is useless; no bait is used-noth.
ing but line and a naked hook. Il
requires no skill to make a fine catch
and it's rare sport.
II spent a couple of nights on the
lake pulling out bass-nothing but bass
you know, because by the new scheme
a man can pick and choose his fish be
fore he catches them. He isn't obliged
to waste any time in pulling out percf
and bluegills when he's angling fol
bass, you see, and he doesn't disturb
the little bass either. Great invention
isn't itG'
The silence for a moment was pain
fully oppressive, but it was broken a
length by Chief Clerk Paul Cores, whC
inquired in q low, mellow voice, lik'

A very important improvement in the
street railway business has been invent
ed by Captain NJ. A. Cutter, of Ale
gheny. 1t is an appliance attached to
the car for throwing a switch, and
which can be handled by the grip man
or motor man without compelling him
to stop or get out of the car The car
can be going at full speed and make a
switch without slowing up or causing
any inconvenience to the man who
throws the switch. The contHvance is
very simple and inexpensive one.
Another improvement which Mr. Cut
Ter has made is in the running gears.
By touching u lever the entire car can
be swung around upon the wheels and

How Some Dwarfs Have Been Produce,

How Some Dwarfs Have Been Produced.
The immediate factor in the stoppage
of growth seems to be the hardening Of
the bones, particularly the long bones,
through the secretion of lime. But
this is probably a mere incident result
ing from the influence flood, excessive
physical exercise, cold, or some other
force affecting the general system.
Among the recipes given for check
ing the growth of children is that of
amounting the backbone with the fat OF
bats and moles. This is said to have
the effect Of hardening the cartilage
and thus preventing growth. Sweat
ing" the process used for reducing the
weight of jockeys, is another means
employed for checking development.
1t is said that dwarfs have been arti
ficially produced by the horrible prac-
tee of feeding infants on sour cider in
stead of milk.
As in the case of giants, the stature Of
these little people has, in most eases
probably, been the result of accident,

The Cosmopolitan.

/ do not mean to imply that it is well
for a man to become comparatively in
different to his own nation. Travel has
that effect upon some people, especially
when for term of years they reside
abroad, and notably in southern Italy,
1t eats away their patriotism. They
call themselves by that long name
cosmopolitan. They are not, they say,
citizens of any one town or country in
particular, but of the world at large.
This sounds very fine; but If you
come to analyze their notions you will,
I am afraid, generally discover that, SO
far from having got their sympathies
enlarged to such degree that they can
feel for the Central African negro in his
degradation, as much as they can feel
for the Whitechapel toiler in his semi.
