A man boarded train the other day and
took seat in front of a woman who was
very curious about the country She asked
about the crops, the price of land, the
characteristics of the people, the climate
and many other things. To all her in

decline in wheat?'
'They may be, but have no means of
knowing"
Should you say this was a good state
for young man to begin life in?"
Il shouldn't like to give an opinion"
His non-committal answers annoyed the
woman. She was silent for half minute,
and then began again:
Have you been in Michigan long?"
'Three years, ma'am."
"And yet you don't seem to be very well
informed about matters and things"
"Well, ma'am, to tell you the TRUTH" he
replied, as he turned about, "Tm resi-

open her mouth again, even to the conduc-
toa until the train was running into De-

He Was a "Feelin' Man,

After a railroad accident in a New
England State, poor farmers wife
was taken out, bleeding and uncon-
scious. The doctor and kind woman
were working over her when her hus-
band came in and stood a moment,
looking on in disturbed silence. His
cheeks were drawn in, his eyebrows
lifted, his hands in his pockets. Pres
emily, with some effort, he cleared his
throat to speak, and, as the doctor
looked up, he asked: "Ye didn't see a
new tin dipper lynn round where ye
picked her up, did YEP" He got no
answer from the indignant doctor, and
presently strayed out again in search
of his dipper. Meanwhile, his wife
opened her eyes and at once asked for
her husband. "He's safe," said the
doctor, shortly. She felt his curt tone,
and, faint as she was, she OWNED what
it meant. "He's dreadful feelin'
man." she said, "but he don't never
say much!"

For long time the sounds of almost

For long time the sounds of almost
all English vowels were, as the makers
of dictionaries explain at length, in a
state of transition. In different words
we now have the same vowel pro-
nounced in almost all the various ways
known to European languages, and in
several that are peculiar to English
speech. Probably the pronunciation
of more than half the words of the En-
glish language has been changed.
There can be no doubt that English
vowels originally had the same sounds
they now have in most continental Ian
guages. Thus was pronounced as it
still is in father, as Ell in rein, as in
ravine, and like 90 in school.
But the English people, having a
way of changing the sounds of vowels
in speech, gradually converted each
one of them into something quite diff
ferent.
The change is going on still. The
vowel a, in London speech. is gradu-
ally receiving the sound of long i. An
American in London is asked if he
wishes to stake in piper" is puz-
zled until he discovers that this is En-
Rl1oA 1oI uhhlAS |" unAAy P0PoA.
This tendency has become SO marked
that the "pipers" themselves have be-
gun, at least in whimsical way, to
print words which have long with
Y instead. The Pail Mall Gazette,
in an article on Primrose Day" devot-
ed to the memory of Lord Beaconsfeld,
fancies Englishmen singing:
But who will syve old England from the
shyme,
And her sons and daughters who will
syve?
For in yyne, alas, in vyne we deplore the
honoured nyme
OF Lord Beckingsield now lying in his
gryve
This vicious pronunciation has begun
to creep into limited circle in Ameri-
ca, whose members affect English
ways. It should be rejected and reso-
lutely discouraged by every one who
wishes to speak good English.

caresses principally on the tender foliage
Of trees and aromatic plants These
principally inhabit woods and marshes.
The other variety make themselves
heard and felt during the night chiefly.
The greater portion Of their active exist
ence is passed in or near human habta-
tons These are the varieties with
which man is most intimately &C
Quainted.
But in all the species of the mosquito
family the male apparently is the supe-
rior being. In grace and elegance of
architectural consti uction, as well as in
variety and gorgeousness Of raiment, the
male mosquito far surpasses the female.
The male also enjoys privileges and pre-
negatives to which the female can never
aspire-certainly can never gain. The
function which she performs in propaga-
ton of the species compelS her to con-
sumo more food than he does. and all
this food she is obliged to get herself.
In every essential particular she has to
make her own and the family's living
without the slightest aid from him.
Such food as he requires for himself,
which is neither large in quantity nor
varied in quality, he picks up. Beyond
that he does little except to display his
charms and enjoy life. 1t is the female
of the mosquito family with which the
human species comes in most intimate
contact. The female does by far the
greater portion of the biting done by the
family,and the warblings of the mosquito
are those of the female mosquito only.
The mosquito first appears in the
form of an egg. The eggs are depos-
tied in the water by the mother mos
quito Before doing this she crosses her
hind legs in the shape of letter X. AS
the eggs are dropped they are caught by
the crossed legs, the glutinous substance
attaching to the eggs holding them to-
oether. The number Of eggs hid by one
female before rising is very great. These
eggs are arranged in the form of a raft
and left to ride on the water, shallow,
stagnant fresh water usually being Sc
lected. BY the additions made to the
number Of eggs the raft is converted
into d sort of boat, and when the lay
ing process is all completed the boat
consists of from 800 to $50 eggs. This
is the first stage in the ext tence Of the
embryo mosquito. After the last egg is

the distance was the high altar. The
tall images became blurred and indis-
tinct masses of masonry when viewed
from the entrance. Beneath the vaulted
roof lay the remains Of the great dis
coverer, and it is with feelings of awe
and reverence that one approaches the
chancel to gaze upon the bones of the
man who did SO much for the new
world. Eight men were necessary to
bring the moldering bones to view, as
each one possessed key to certain
locks which the others could not
open. On the gospel side of
the altar, or the left side as
viewed from the church entrance,
is the tomb of Christopher Columbus.
The heavy fastenings were unloosened
as each priest or official stepped to the
tomb. The leaden casket was taken
out and opened. Only a few bones
left of all that was mortal of the great

back an inscription could be seen on

Whine or whistle. which,

A mall boy was chasing some
what bigger one the other day, when
the bigger of the two stumbled and
fell. The other tumbled over him and
was hurt as much as the bigger one.
But the bigger boy was the biggest
baby and began to whine and cry. The
smaller one got up, brushed off the
dirt, rubbed his barked knee and be-
gan to whistle.
The other one looked at him q mo-
ment and then blubbered:
Jimmy, how can you whistle when
it hurts So"
at doesn't hurt so if you whistle, /"
said philosophical Jimmy. "It's when
YOU whine that it hurts so"
Whistle and whine begin alike, but
they end differently.
