"Veryn with n Verb.

pleased" in the expression Every
pleased" is nothing more than the past
participle passive of please" used as an
adjective. Very" so far as I am
aware, is never used with any other part
OF verb, and then only when that part
has become adjective by usage. The
following quotation from Pope's s'Dun-
clad" shows its use as an adjective:
Thou triumphst, Victor of the high wrought
day,
And the pleas'd dame, soft smiling, lead'st
away.
A similar use of the word is when we
say persons face has "a pleased ex-
preston" This being the case it is as
correct to say Every pleased" as to say
"very much pleased" Annandale's elm
perial Dictionary" subject Every" has:
'Among old writers very was fire.
quently used alone to modify past
participle, and it is still to some extent
so used; thus, Sir w. Jones has very
concerned;' Gibbon, very unqualified;
Sydney Smith, very altered, etc."
AS there is no verb unqualify, un-
qualified can be nothing else but an ad-
jective, and concerned and altered come
under the same part of speech. When
we say, 81 am very pleased" there is no
action implied, but there is simply a
description of the state OF condition in
which one is at the time of speaking.-

Going to Red Hungry.

Dr. W. T. Cathell has entered strong
protest against the old fashioned idea that
people should go to bed comparatively
hungry. He is Of the opinion that fasting
during the long interval between supper
and breakfast, and especially the COM
plete emptiness Of the stomach during
sleep, add greatly to the amount of enact
alton, sleeplessness and general weakness
SO often met with. 1t is well known that
in the body there is perpetual disintegra-
tion Of tissue, sleeping or waking; it is
therefore natural to believe that the sup
ply of nourishment should be somewhat
continuous, especially in those in whom
the vitality is lowered. AS bodily exer-
else is suspended during sleep, with wear
and tear rcorrespondingly diminished, while
digestion, assimilation and nutritive ac-
tivity continue as usual, the food fur
nished during this period adds more than
is destroyed, and increased weight and i'm
proved general vigor are the result. All
animals except man eat before sleep, and
there is no reason why man should form
an exception to the rule.-Philadelphia

A Malacca Boy Sketches the English


A Portuguese boy in MaIacca public
school was told to write a composition toll
ing all he knew about the English. This
is what he wrote, the spelling being amend
ed except in the one marvellous word do
cut" which means dogcart:
English is very proud and very white.
They are mostly governors, schoolmasters,
policemen, magistrates, and few are
lawyers and doctors and banks and many
other things. They never work. They
wear hats and boots and ride in docuts.
Some English goes to church, but only
once. They are clever tennis and ball
games and drinks much brandy and other
things. Some are married. They eat
much quantity of many things. One of
their great delights smoking cigars and
shooting and raining coming home in it.
English is clever at all things. My father
says Portuguese is black and ugly and
catch fish, but English is white and pretty
and eats fish what is caught. Father is
black and ugly, but making nets. English
is very fierce. II anybody does something
they swear dam. English women is few.
They ride and play the music and sing and
make faces. 1t is easy no work nor little
houses | don't know any more English.
That is all know"
The small community Of Englishmen in
Malacca looks upon the circulation of this
composition as very bad joke, but the
residents elsewhere say that it is SO true
that if this Portuguese boy could only be
taught spelling he would prove second

A Vast Coal Supply in Japan.

For agriculturists the japanese Island of
Yesso, though nearly the size of Ireland,
does not appear to offer much attraction,
but its coal mines seem likely to prove OF
more and more Importance. Fifteen years
ago it was estimated by the American en-
gineers who made the first surveys for the
government that the workable coal beds
of Yesso contained 150, 900, 5000 tons, or
about two-thirds as much as the coal beds
of Great Britain. This startling estimate
has just been more than confirmed by Off
cial government surveys.
OF the Yesso coal nine -tenths is found in
one district, that of the valley of the Ishi-
kari river, near the west coast The first
coal mined in theisland, at Iwanai, in the
province of Shil1beshi, belongs to the
smallest Of the six coal fields, containing
barely 100000 tons. AS regards quality,
although it is very uneven and none of it
stands in the front rank even Of japanese
coal, it is still declared by our consul to bo
s'all marketable. London News.

A Clever Newspaper hian Divines the

"What is it.:'
"Who is hurt?"
"Anybody been run over?"
els it man in ftp
High above the ceaseless rumble and
roar of traffic rose human voices in anx-
ious inquiry, and the dense throng at the
intersection of State and Madison streets
grew denser still. 1t was just before
sunset, and the mighty heart of Chi
cago's business center throbbed with the
feverish energy that marked the closing
hours of another day of toll, and the
hurrying homeward of restless, eager
thousands. The swiftly moving streams
of humanity that are won't to meet in
eddying whirls in this dizzy vortex and
then diverge and move onward again,
each in its destined course, had sudden
ly become blocked and chaos reigned.
Pushed toward the common center by
the ever hurrying throngs afoot, in car
riages and in street cars, and unable to
extricate themselves, men, women and
children gasped for breath, and the
crowd in the STREETS and on the side
walks overhowed into alleys and surged
hither and yon like the resistless ebb
and flow Of mighty sea.
A policeman on tho outskirts Of the
dense throng climbed lamppost, and
from his elevated position surveyed the
scene.
"Give him air." he shouted sternly,
waving his club. "Give him air!"
whats the natter" inquired hun
dred voices as he climbed down.
81 don't know" he answered, and with
gloomy, lowering brow he strutted up
the street, disappeared down short
fight of stairs, from which few mo-
ments later he emerged, wiping his
mouth, and in the same stern, uncom-
promising way he walked block far
ther and sent in fire alarm
Meanwhile the surging multitude at
State and Madison grew every moment
more appalling and inextricable.
Something must be done.
Fiercely elbowing his way through
the crowd, a newspaper reporter at last
was seen bearing down toward the CEN
ter of the compact mass. His hat was
off, his hair flying in the wind, and his
face was deathly pale, but with set'teeth
and dilated nostrils he tore his way
along, thrusting to the right and left
every one who opposed his progress.
Reaching the center of the throng he
seized two individuals by their arms, and
in the same resolute, fearless way opened
a passage for them to the outside, and,
as if by magic, the vast concourse dis
solved; the conyerging streams of hu-
manity whirled and eddied as before,
and the business heart of the great city
throbbed again.
The reporter had conjectured rightly.
The blockade was caused by two women
who had met in The exact center of the
street and stopped to tell each other the
troubles they were having with their
hired girls.-Chicago Tribune.

vowing that never again would I choose
that mode Of locomotion. My deliverer,
who exchanged his donkey for my camel.

I had my revenge speedily, for in the exu-
