were warm and springlike. March was
cold and stormy. Vegetation had got
ten well along in April when real win
ter set in. Snow and sleet fell on sew
enteen different days in May. In June
there was either frost or snow every
night but three. The snow was five
inches deep for several nights in sue
cession in the interior o., New York, and
from ten inches to three feet in Yer
mont and Maine. July was cold and
frosty, ice formed as thick as window
panes in every one of the New England
states. August was still worse; ice
formed nearly an inch in thickness and
killed nearly every green thing in the
United States. In the spring of 1917
corn, which had been kept over from
the crop of 1915, sold for from five to
ten dollars bushel, the buyers pur-
chasing for seed. On May 10, 1889,
snow fell to the depth of a foot in
Jamestown, Va, and was piled up in
huge drifts in most of the northern
states. There was snow in many parts
of Iowa and Illinois on May II, 1878,
and again as late as May %, 1882.

Changes IN Pronunciation.

Pronunciation is slowly but steadily
changing. Sometimes it is going fur
Their and further away from the orthog-
raphy; for example, either and neither
are getting more and more to have in
their first syllable the long sound in
stead of the long sound which they
had once. Sometimes it is being modi-
fed to agree with the photography; for
example, says a writer in Harper's
Weekly, the older pronunciations of
again to rhyme with men, and of been
to rhyme with pin, in which was care
fully trained as q boy, seem to me to be
giving way before pronunciation in
exact accord with the spelling, again to
rhyme with pain, and been to rhyme
with seen. These two illustrations are
from the necessarily circumscribed ex-
perience of a single observer, and the
observation of others may not bear me
out in my opinion; but though the illus
trations fall to the ground the main as
sertion, that pronunciation is changing,
is indisputable

Columbus Day.

The thirteen million public school
children in the United States are being
asked to celebrate the discovery of
America on October 12-"Columbus
day." The superintendent of educa-
ton in Michigan, Tennessee, Rhode
Island and Massachusetts have been
appointed an executive committee to
arrange the details. The official pro-
gramme will be published September 1,
and will be somewhat on this order:
First, raising the flag in the morning,
and the whole school saluting it with
the military salute a recital, in con-
cert, of pledge in which the scholars
swear allegiance to their country and
the flag, will be followed by an ap-
propriate original song, to a popular
air, sung by the school; the recitation
of an original ode, and, lastly, the de-
livery of an original Grafton. The
song, ode and Grafton are to be COM
posed by some of the best writer's in the
country, and the programme can be
supplemented by speeches, according
to the wishes of each school. For the
afternoon the committee will recon-
mend professions, in which the idea of
the public school is made prominent.

thus lessen the cost Of material to the
producer and consumer. One of the
saddest signs of the times in the older
states is the tendency of population
toward the cities, which tendency can
be laid largely to the bad roads exist
ing in the farming districts, preventing
social intercourse and making country
life cherries, isolated and narrow.
Churches and schools are neglected
when roads are such as to make them
difficult of access. Accordingly, every
good and thoughtful citizen should ad-
vocate the establishment of the pro-
posed road department at the Worlds
Columbian exposition, for which Col.
Pope is making so gallant a fight.

Why Life Is Short.

The duration of life depends neither
on climate nor food nor race nor any
external condition, but on the natural
constitution and intrinsic vigor of our
organs. One hundred years is the nat
ural life of man, according to the Phil
adeiphia Times. The curtailment be-
low this normal term is the result of
those errors and excuses in the manner
Of living which impair the organs and
produce premature decay. From the
time of Noah to the days of Joshua and
Hoses the record is one of successive
aud gradual decrease in longevity.
Joshua waxed old and stricken in years
some time before his death at one hum
dred and ten. The whole of life teens
With incidents which must need affect
more or less its duration. In a manu-
featuring and commercial country par
ticularly, where population is more
crSvvded and where art and labor in
every branch are strained to the ut
most reach of human exertion, life be-
powerfully upon it and tend to shorten
It's duration. Some particular occupa-
lions abridge life by bodily confinement
and deprivation of good air. When
there is free current of pure air the
functions of the body and mind are
kept in healthy action by moderate ex-
ercise, not by strained tension, and
when the pursuits in life are Of a moral
tendency and effect life may be pro-
longed to advanced years. But when
we indulge in vicious habits, which
create pain and trouble, life GIBBS
away, often imperceptibly, and we do
not notice its decline until the fatal
regress: Gas brooks make rivers, rivers
Tt1n to seas"

The Tinkering Crank.

There is great deal of truth in what
the Manufacturers Gazette says about
some men who never seem to be happy
and contented unless they are tinker
ing. They are always watching for a
chance to use monkey wrench or ham
mer, and not only waste valuable time,
but do more toward spelling the ma
chinery in their charge than years OF
constant wear will ever do. If a ma
chine is out of order, or there is some
part that needs tightening up or re-
pairing, the tinker takes his monkey
wrench and screwdriver and goes at it,
regardless of where or what the trouble
is. He spends an hour or two twisting
and turning nuts and bolts, and when
he gets tired of this amusement con-
cludes that everything is all right and
starts up the machine, only to find that
he has not improved it any by tinker
ing. Then he goes at it again Such
men are not profitable workmen. The
competent and experienced man never
tinkers- If the machinery needs fixing
he does not go about it in a haphazard
manner, but looks it over carefully un-
til he locates the trouble, and then does
what is needed, without making bad
matter worse by acting upon the sup
position that because one part Is ont Of
order the whole machine needs tinker

1ne Coliege Graduate.


There is some doubt abroad as to the
utility of college education, beyond a
mere gloss of superficial knowledge
available only in polite society or in
the field of scientific research, but it is
quite true, as is remarked by Boston
contemporary, that as matter of plain,
solid fact the college graduate does
exert vital influence upon the world.
His works can be found in the best
books, magazines and newspapers. His
essays have within the past year taken
prizes of value in competition with the
writings of older men on economic sub
jects of real Importance to everyday
life. He goes at once into any of the
professions which are now so largely
recruited from American colleges, and
he often meets with brilliant success
where older men are still plodding
along. He has youth, energy and the
influence of the best modern teachers
on his side, and may learn the latest
scientific methods far better than an
older and busy practitioner can CLEAN
them from reviews. He may achieve
within year or two, while still young,
the success which has just crowned
much older men. 1t is not at all GER
tain that he will do so, but if he has in
herent talent and application and has
profited by the unusual advantages
which the modern college offers, he
ought to be on the road to success be-
fore he is much older than he is to-day.

The Literary Market.

Various fates await manuscripts sub
mitted for publication in the periodicals.
One famous juvenile weekly, according
to New York authority, not only re-
jects articles, but destroys a large per-
centage of what it accepts and pays for.
One monthly magazine sent back in a
lump nearly two years supply of man
uscripts that had been accepted. A
literary man, whose articles fetch the
highest rates easily, complains that
they are held sometimes as long as six
years after having been accepted. A
man who furnished an article on the
negro question to religious periodical
eight years ago was astonished recently
to see it in print with his signature.
He had somewhat revised his views
since writing the article. An article by
famous English scientific man was &C
cepted by an American publication, but
it was so little suited to popular taste
that the editor put it in pamphlet form
and sent it only to persons in the United
States who might be interested in the
subject. They numbered exactly five.
