That strange and difficult tongue,
which IL supposed to have once EN-
braced the greater part of north
eastern Europe, is now practically re-
stricted to a remote and sparsely
populated province of the Russian
empire and, despite the factitious
support accorded to it in the past by
the Russian government, its area
seems to be steadily if slowly reced-
ing. Nor is this at all surprising
when we come to examine the Ian
guage itself. Finnish grammar is
Of a difficulty absolutely repulsive
None of the ether languages of the
same group is half so hard. Hun
ga1ian-nay, even Turkish, despite
the vexatious initial impediment of
the Arabic alphabet-is easy in com
pa1ison.
The syntax is at once provokingly
elaborate and perplexingly obscure.
1t possesses fifteen distinct cases and
four and twenty differentiated infin-
tive forms, but on the other hand
there is no real distinction between
nouns, adjectives, adverbs preposi-
tions, infnitives and participles, SO
that the student must not be startled
by finding inhnitives regularly de-
clined like nouns, and nouns taking
upon them degrees of comparison like
adjectives. --Anthen8um.

1t was big Fairfield rooster and
he regularly patrolled the track of
the Waterville and Fairfield horse
railroad. Half a dozen times each
day the drivers would halt their cars
in order to allow the pel'verse fowl
to stalk serenely off the track. In
time the rooster became a sort of
railroad specter, and he was talked
about around the stables with partic-
ularly lively hatred
One day a substitute driver took a
car for trip. When he returned to
the stable his face beamed with ex-
ultant malice and he proudly an
nounced, I've killed that dad-qriz-

off, got him right and run over him

tie Planned - sha,n Funeral and Kept
an Eye on His Heirs Administration.
From Austria. the land Of eccentric
noblemen, comes story without par
alle In the recent record Of human
idi0syncrasies. The Galieian million
aire, Casinir Won Mionczynslc. was re-
moved from his vast estates near Lem
berg to an asylum for the insane in
Dobling. at his own instance. about
eight years ago. About five months
later his death was announced. II was
said that he died in the night. and the
properly drawn certificate Of the phy-
sician was to the effect that death was
caused by heart disease.
In the morning after the night when
the death was reported the other physi-
clans saw that the closed coffin was car
ried TO the family burying ground and
there inferred. without having been
opened in the presence Of the million
aires friends. The heir of the Mionc-
zynski property, Count Nicodem Po-
toclzi, took possession of the estates
The departed nobleman left neither wife
nor children.
About the middle of December the
tenants of the count were astounded at
midday to see the bent figure Of a man
exactly resembling Casimir Won Mionc-
zynsln pass along the road. The old man
spoke to all in voice that recalled vis-
ions Of their former landlord, and most
Of the peasants fed in superstitiOus fright
from the sound Hardly less fright was
caused ut the castle when the old man
sent in card bearing the words "Casimir
Won Mionczynski.
When Count Potocki met him the old
man explained that he had given the
physician who gave out his death certifi-
cate at the asylum and conducted the
mock funeral $1,000 for his part in the
plan and a promise not to reveal the
fraud until after the physicians death.
That event had been announced, he
said, and he therefore had returned TO
his estate. The old man said he had
taken securities for about $4,000
abroad with him and had lived on the
interest. His object in all this remark
able performance was to discover, he
said, how his heir would administer his
property after his death. That story
was treated rather gingerly at first by
Count Potocl1i, but the discovery by dis
interment that the coffin from the asy-
lum had been buried empty increased
the suspicion of truth aroused by the
old mans personal appearance.
The old mans story of his wanderings
abroad is under investigation, and mean
timo he is inquiring into the manage
ment of the property, which he claims
rs his own. The editor Of The Dziennilr
Polsli is sure that the old man is Casimir
Won Mionczynshd, and many Lembergers
believe no, too, but Count Potoch says
that he will concede nothing until his
