Science and Art OF Language.
Language as an art and language
as a science stand closely related
though quite distinct. Art here as
elsewhere has a practica! end. It's
the ability to use language well.
The fixed principles Of grammar
form the science OF language. The
art OF language naturally precedes
the science. When the child utters
its first word it begins to practice
the art of expression, but while art
precedes science, science is studied
later to perfect art. Before study
ing the science Of language the child
has acquired a limited number Of
words and expressions. If these
were all perfect. without any study
Of principles, whenever it attempted
to use q new word OF expression it
would he unable to tell whether it
were correct .r not. II is one Of the
Offices Of grammar to give this abili-
ty to vary the form Of expression
with certainty as to correctness.
With the imperfect use of language
Of the present time, it has been i'm
possible for teachers to overcome
the evil influences sufficiently to
have children use even their limited
vocabulary correctly. Then a Sec
ond use Of language as a science is
to aid them to correct the faulty ex.
pressions learned in childhood.
While this close relation exists, there
are teachers who teach grammar as
though il had very little value in
cultivating the art Of expression.
The result is the ability to analyze
without the ability TO speak well.
In language as elsewhere art pre-
codes science while science tends to
make art more perfect.

What causes the poverty and
starvation in Cbicago is very aptly
explained in the Plain Talk Of the
9Th inst, in an article headed,
aDreains Of Riches" It says, "Ro-
seats dreams Of the immense ad.
vantages to be gained and the large
fortunes to be made by an early in-
vasion Of the worlds fair city, float
in the visions Of thousands, from
the daring speculator down to the
humble workman. 1t is
the old story over again, Of the mad
rush to the gold fields OF Australia,
the Cape Of Good Hope and Califor-
MIA, and it will he the old story oil
blighted hopes and wrecked lives.
There are any number Of

able 70 get work, and who, though
honest and respectable workingmen,
are driven to apply to the police
station for sheiter-people who are
willing to work, but who could no,

Talk tells the truth, this answers
the question. We have measured

Ayres does not hold - lucrative Of

"scooped." In conclusion, PERM
US to state that one Of the reason
why We have hard times is, that q
many editors are like those Chicag,
men; their hopes are blighted AM
therefore they cry hard times, unit
they partly believe it themselves
Another reaso lie, that more none,

three parties state in their platforms

While money legislation is pending
capitalists and all who can do g

and We look for no effectual remed

shirts is a narrow plated frill of the silk

cravat bow is OF the same silk with deep
hem on the ends neatly hemstitched, and
is made of two pieces set under the fronts
of the collar instead of passing entirely
around tie neck in warm ana clumsy
fashion.
The beltad waist is again the favorite for
summer dresses, especially with Parish

Professor Roberts, of Cornell uuiver-
sity, calls attention to the fact that at
last there is machine for harvesting
corn.
Bradstreet's says: The total consump-
ton of pork products, exclusive of lard,
in the United States last year is esti-
mated at 1858, 600, 900 pounds, which
would make an average annual con-
sumption per capita of about fifty eight
pounds.

Il once believed, as many do vet. that
keeping the queen cells cut out would
prevent bees from swarming," says an
Illinois apiarian, in Gleanings in Bee
Culture. That faith received rude
shock when | found that bees often
swarmed before they had started queen
cells. sometimes not even starting them
for two or three days afterward. This
was with Italians. 1t is possible that.
with black bees. the method could be
made to succeed, although it is not at
all practical. The objections are the
great amount of labor required, and the
great liability of overlooking one or more
cells. If any are left they might as well
all be left. The same objections apply
to this method of preventing second
swarms. l once received communica-
ton from man who had new method
Of preventing afterswarming. He had
the highest opinion of its praeticability
and value. He said it would be worth
fifty dollars year in every apiary of any
size. l agreed to help him test it more
thoroughly before he made it pub
lie and then he revealed to me the great
secret. What do you suppose it was:
Simply cutting out all queen cells but
one as soon as a colony swarmed. Con-
siderable correspondence, though, failed
to convince him that it was not some
thing entirely new and valuable and very
likely ne will be highly indignant at my
revealing it now

Now that France has taken full and di-
rect control of the government of the isl
and of Tahiti, in the South Pacific, we
may look for an extension of French IN
f1uence in some Of the other islands of
the Society group. France has been
steadily enlarging the number OF her
foreign dependencies since she acquired
Tunis few years ago. and secured q
foothold in Madagascar. Within a short
time she has extended Algeria to Timouc-
too. has strengthened her hold upon Sem
egsl, and has been carving on opera
lions not vet fully understood in Siam.
There is danger for France in carrying
the policy of annexation too far in these

Exit Quay.
Chicago Post

tNlCbSO GOsI
After sufficient period of backing
and filling, Senator Quay has at length
resigned from the Craftsmanship of the
republican national committee, taking
with him the almost malodorous W. W.
Dudley, treasurer o. the committee. Il
has taken time to arrange the details
leading up 10 the most devoutly prayed
for consummatIor. Months ago it be-
came apparent that Quay could no longer
remain at the head of his party. Accus-
toned as that party was to condone in
its leaders offenses and even crime
which in private life would inevitably
be visited with the penalties of
the law, it bad at length TO draw the line
at Quay. The better element of the
party (Which, if it assert itself, is al
POWERFUL recoiled from the leadership of
brszen criminal and associate of crimi-
mails like Quay. The defeat in 1890 of
Quay's an Delamater in a state which
cheerfully gave 10000 majority for NJ.
Harrison in 1888 was the expression OF
this sentiment in Pennsylvania. There
was no reason to doubt that similar re-
suits would follow in other states if Quay
were kept at the head Even the prac-
tical politicians of the party realized the
force of this logic and yielded to the pop
ular demand for a new leader in 1892
1t has, of course, been necessary to
mitigate the heeler-senator's full. He
has been let down easy. A resolution
has been passed by the executive commit
tee in which 1.-THE honor and fair meths
DDS, 1.-THE superior generalship and I'M
failing power" 1.-THE personal worth"
aud 1.-The nobility of the man" are set
forth with as much appearance OF sin
certify as if Quay really deserved such
praises instead of their direct sntitheses.
such patter does no harm, except TO re-
veal unplsasantly in how light esteem the
name and reputation OF honor and per-
sonal nobility are held by a certain school
of politicians. Quay is left free to attend
to his senatorial duties, which thus far
have consisted chiefly in meaningless and
Intellectual retorts to charges OF Grimm
ality against his own character. His
sphere Of disgrace has simply been mar
rowed.

,ws he pad the tax as follows:

II would not hurt that farmer to under
stand that although he received good
price for bis load of corn and had every
reason to rejoice at bis good luck yet had
it not been for the tax which the govern
ment puts on goods he bought he could
have purchased that $50 worth Of family
supplies for s12 80, thus carrying home
in addition TO the 50 be got for his corn
and did not spend. $3.50, or a total of
$500. Now give to the tariff for rev.
enue its share say 81 90. and the farmer
still saves Sc on one load of corn, tie
bulk of which now goes to make richer
the rich manufacturer. Or in other
words Sc of tha. $50 which that farmer
spent for family supplies goes for protec-
ton. so even admit, for the once, that
Mckinley did not increase the price of
that bill of goods, the Mckinley tariff
required that farmer to pay tax of $40
Cd $50 worth OF goods. For we have no
other tariff law except the Mckinley law.
