For long time the sounds Of almost
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 70 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 q
way of changing the sounds of yowels
t6,he ~ fhsm nth a'' sa6jmefAYSg rftfHireT dif
ferent.
The change is going on still The
vowel q. in London speech. is gradu-
ally receiving the sound of long j. An
American in London is asked if he
wishes to "take in piper"-and is puz-
zled until he discovers that this is En-
gil h for taking daily paper
This tendency has become so marked
that the "pipers" themselves have be-
gun, at least in whimsical way, to
print words which have long a with
instead. The Pail Mall Gazette,
in an article on Primrose Day." deyot-
ed to the memory OF Lord Beaconsield,
fancies Englishmen singing:

shyme,
And her sons and daughters who will
syve?
For in vyne. alas! in vyne we deplore tho

or Lord BeckingsHeld now lying In his

This vicious pronunciation has begun
to creep into limited circle in Ameri-
ca, whose members affect English
ways. 1t should be rejected and reso-
lutely discouraged by every one who
wishes to speak good English.

Perhaps the handsomest costliest
and best equipped steamship that ever
sailed into Chicago Is the Goodrich
Transportation Company's Virginia.
which arrived recently direct from the
hands OF her Cleveland builders.
Massive in outline and construction,
aud yet nodded on lines as graceful az
q yachts, and combining speed and
weatherly qualities, she was the
pride OF every fresh water sailor
who boarded her for inspection.
Such a sweep of deck room. such
display OF novelty and ingenuity
that was everywhere apparent. and.
such thoroughncss in the minor de-
tails OF Quitting were never seen be-
fore on the lakes. The Virginia is
essentially perfected edition, though
on q smaller scale, of the ocean grey
hounds. whose running is one of the
marvels Of the times. Equipped with
twin screws that are turned by power
full triple expansion engines, she will
doubtless be able to show her heels to
anything that floats on the lakes. Her
interior fittings and arrangements are
rich and artistic, and include n
number of novelties, among which
folding berths will probably prove the
most popular. The dining saloon is
located in the forward hold space. and
Is reached by a solid mahogany stair

extends from the cabin to hallway on
the main deck. This hallway is fin
ished in mahogany, and from it the
stairway continues to the saloon. which
is richly furnished. The ceiling is
divided into panels filed with Lin
crusta walton, and in the center Of
each panel is an electric light pendant.
In addition to these lights three cleo
trotiers are hung from the central
beam running fore and aft through the
saloon. With the exception Of MAJ
hogany the entire saloon is finished In
the tasteful and fashionable style of
decoration known as ivory and gold.
The dimensions of the hull are 278
feet over all, 900 feet keel. 38 feet

bottom Is divided into SIX sections,
three on either side, and contains a
tank that will hold $4,000 gallons Of

How Adam Forera-igh, the Circus Nam
Once Avoided an Attachments
NThe circus is subject to o system Of
blackmail, plumber, and robbery en-
route that Is unheard of in any other
business said an old-time circus man
to Pittsburg Dispatch reporter. at
requires the most Diplomatic manage
ment. and after all the company must
submit to all sorts Of extortion to es-
cape attachments. These are levied
upon the ticket-wagon just before the
performance, or upon pole-wagon as
the tents are being pulled down. AS
the delay of a trial, or even a hearing,
would cost thousands of dollars, there
is no other way than to submit. This
sort of robbery occurs in almost every
town where circus goes. The COM
pany may think it is getting off all
right, when suddenly some accident,
some chance injury to property, or
something OF that kind, affords an ex-
cuse for a levy. When 1 was with

tachment racket was dreaded and
cursed more by the veteran Snowman
than any other evil.
"One time we wore showing at SYRIA

wandering about and fooling with the
animals. He foally approached Tip
as the elephants were lined up to leave,
pulled flask of whisky from his peck

him along with the show. We didn't
know whether he was dead or alive I'M
ill our doctor declared it O case of
drunk. But next morning, when the
