and when the London Athenmum is de
pressed by the language of cultured
Americans. there is 10 be discovered
behind the laugh and the scon an as
sumption that any departure from the

are the outward and visible signs of an

tee of tie English language But this
is n belief for which there is no founda-
ton whatever

Full JeweIed Watches.

In timekeeping qualities and in finish
there is no difference between Il seven
jeweled watch, full jewcled watch
and an adjusted watch. The advan-
tage of II full jeweled watch is only in
the patent regulator. by which the err
ror can be reduced TO few seconds per
month. The patent regulator moves
the lever the ten-thousandth part of an
inch at time, while the least move
ment by the hand of the lever in cheaper
watches must be one hundred times
greater All watches not adjusted to
temperature will run fast or slow when
subjected TO changes If one can spare
time to regulate the watch to the new
condition there is little advantage in an
adjusted watch. The extra cost over a
seven jeweled watch is not in the jewels,
which are worth one cent each, nor in
any finer work on the movement, but
solely in the labor of adjusting the bal
ance so that it will run the same in an
oven as in cake of ice, and in the
profits to the factory. This factory
profit comes in higher grade move
ments. the seven jeweled being sold at
about cost.-New York Truth.

sr,t,eisms and AmerIcanisms.

Brander Matthews in Harper's shows
tnat the well of English undetiled" is
no more the exclusive possession of
Englishmen than of Americans. He
asserts that of Criticisms there are as
many and us worthy of collection and
collocation rs were the most of the
Americanisms the all embracing Bart
lett gathered into his dictionary. In
deed. if Scot or Yankee were TO pre-
pare Il glossary of Criticisms on the
ample scale adopted by Mr.. Bartlett,
and with the same generous hospitality,
the result would surprise no one more
than the Englishman. We should find
in its pages many word and phrase
and turn of speech common enough in
England and quite foreign to the best
usage of those who speak English
Criticisms us worthy of reproof rs the
worst specimen of the mongrel speech
adopted by some humorists in Amer

At another, to say of man that he
is not gentleman is almost to stigma
tie him as a social outcast, unfit for
the company of his kind even if it is

Starting an Education on a slant.

leave school, unless they get professorships
In business colleges and earn salaries for
making curlycue deers and doves with pen
and ink.
The idea Of changing the system of writ
Ing was first advocated by an Eastern edu-
cational paper. and Ii looked good. Then
Mr.. Lane was visiting schools one day. In
one school he noticed that the children
were IN great pain IN their attempts 10 get
the tocOggan-slide slants on their letters
that tile eOpy-book rules prescribed. The
teacher herself was labOriOusly trying to
avoid writing straight up and down, and
there was the same atmosphere of gloom
among the pupils that falls over Sunday
school on good fishing day. Now, it's to
Mir. Lanes way Of thinking that a writing
lesson should not be gloomy, nay, that it
should be invested with joyous cireum-
stances that will link il in the memory of a
boy with his first pair of breeches. He
holds that children should write "A Am Der
A Abner A" with glee and merriment. so
he said to the teacher, why do you slant
your letters? Isn't it easier to write
stTaight?"
Yes" said the teacher. But the copy
books show US that the slant is correct"
Mr.. Lane locked at one Of the copy
books. and sure enough there was slant
on every letter OF about fifteen degrees.
The angle varied in the children's writing
Sometimes the first line Of the purely orna-
mental "A" which Is taught by cOpy-booKs
