means of a small rubber OF IRON tube

locomotive cab there is an iron whistle

The wool business of the country as
one of the leading industries, holds the
interest of tile entire community. The
Boston Commercial Bulletin collates
that Boston is the second wool market

market in the world where more wool is
sold, London. The system In London is,
however, an auction system, :ts largely
in Liverpool and Melbourne. London 10
the largest wool market in the world,
and the sales in year are three or four
times those of Boston, which is just a
little larger than Melbourne. The sales

AMERICAN .4S SHE rs SPOKE.

A number uf recent magazine writer's
have taken it upon themselves to prove
that "the American language" is as per-
feet and ample q medium for the ex-,
preston of ideas as the language called
English. -
Just why they have undertaken this
labor of supererogation now is unkno8n, /,
for it is much the same controversy that
has been tiercely waging for years be-
tween authorities on both sides.
When Il critic for the London Saturday
Review gets hold of an American book
he goes ON the hunt for solecisms and
blunders. III he finds one he styles it an
"AmericansIu and writes Il whole
column about it. Most of the "Amer-
icanisms" would be found to be common
to both countries and indigenous to En-
gland. There are real Americanisms
just az there are geuine Anglicisms and,
in both classes, some are villainous,
while others are neatly idiomatic. And
Tor every atrocious slang or cant word in
common use here there is one equally
atrocioua in use among the Britons.
est all around there would be no occa-
sion for resurrecting this corpse of an
ancient dissension. The fact is that
there are local dialects in America just
as there are dialects in England, and in
those dialects there are usages not purely
English. In the cities here language is
written and spoken, on the whole, with
greater purity than that commonly used
in London. Our enunciation is notably
better. Occasionally an extremely
young member OF our chryso- so-aristocracy
says ''Fahncy, meow - or "Chahmed to
meet yuu," but he is an exception.
When we find man, American born,
who has adopted this lingo we may
have to confess his nationality, but we
deny responsibility for the alien intlu-
cnce that brought him to take up the
peculiar iargon in which he prides him
