A LINGUISTIC TEST.

When . Man Can Get Mad In : Forelsn
Tongue ~ Easily - In His Own.
One frequently hears q man, or moro
commonly STILL woman, speak enthu-
siastically of some friend who knows
French, or German. or italian. or what
ever language it may be, quite a. we'll
as English.
There is about one case in a hundred
where~the claim is substantiated. In
the other ninety-nino cases q little in
vestigation would show that the lin
guist In question does not possess by
any means the same mastery of the for.
eign tongue as of his own English. ."
saw this we'll illustrated the other
night in French restaurant, where q
gentleman who has lived in Paris for q
dozen years was dining with some
friends In the course of the meal he
got very angry with tho waiter for hav-
Ing served a sole au rin blanc instead of
solo au gratin. And his annoyance
was out of all proportion to the enor-
nifty of the mistake made by the unfor-
tunate garcon. The gentleman, whom
knew as ordinarily calm and self-pos-
sessed, grew red in the face, excited in
gesture and loud in voice, although the
fact of the matter was that the fish was
almost as good with the wine sauce as
If it had been served with cheese
do you know why you got so angry
with that fellow to-night?' I asked
him later in the evening.
Certainly do" said he; 1T was be-
cause he nearly spoiled my dinner with
his ridiculous blunder."
NO" said I, that is not the real
reason. If you had been in an Ameri-
can restaurant you would not have got
into such rage over the same thing"
"And why not, pray?'
because in an American restaurant
you would have spoken English, where
as tonight you were obliged to get an
cry in a foreign language. However
excellent your French may be it did not
allow you to dispose of the matter and

ing sentences, as you would have done
in English. The waiter had you at a
disadvantage, and that exasperated
you"
At first my friend was disposed to ar
que the point but finally became con-
WINGED that one of the crucial tests of a
mans absolute perfection in a language
is his ability to use it with the same
GOODNESS and deliberation as his own
when he is under the influence of some
strong emotion.
Another test is a mans ability to add
or multiply, using the foreign names
for the figures. Ask your friend who
boasts that his French is as good as his
English to add up substantial column
of figures with the cingt and quurante
and s0irants instead of the names he
has been accustomed to, and nine times
out of ten, or indeed oftener, you will
find him unable to do it.
This speaking foreign languages as
well as ones own is a much more diff
cult matter than certain Cooks tourists
would have one believe.-N. Y. Herald

Miriam johnson Ropes. She was a
grand daughter of John Johnson and
great-grand- daughter of Col. Thomas
