The Finnl.h Language.

That strange and difficult tongue.
which is 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 Fictitious
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 difficulty absolutely repulsive.
None of the other languages of the
same group is half so hard. Hun
garian-nay, even Turkish, despite
the vexatious initial impediment of
the Arabic alphabet lis easy in COM
parison.
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, infinitives and participles, so
that the student must not be startled
by finding infinitives regularly de-
clined like nouns, and nouns taking
upon them degrees of comparison like
adjectives. s.-Anthenmum.

what Diatoms Are.

Diatoms are so small as TO be seen
only with the aid of the microscope
those of ordinary size, when magni-
fed about $50 diameters, appear
about a quarter of an inch long.
Others are much larger. They are
curious little plants with silica
shell, which in certain places is pro.
vided with little apertures through
which living parts of the plant pro
trude.
In this way they are enabled to
move about freely In the water by
which they are generally surrounded,
for though they are not all strictly
water plants they all need considers
BILE water to enable them to thrive,
and so are always found In wei
places. Emily L. Gregory In Popu-
lar Science Monthly.

It was big Fairfield rooster and
he regularly patrolled the track of
the Waterville and Fairfield horse
railroad. Half dozen times each
day the drivers would halt their cars
IN order to allow the perverse fowl
to stalk serenely off the track. In
time the rooster became 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 a trip. When he returned to
the stable his face beamed with ex-
ultant malice and he proudly an
nounced, I've killed that dad-duiz-
zled old rooster; cut his head plum
of, got him right and run over him
ON purpose"
This was pleasant until the new
driver heard the sequel The trouble
some old rooster belonged to his ia
ther, and he found the family lament
ing when he went home to dinner.
He had been away from home for a
few months, and was not posted upon
the personnel of the old gentleman's 8
poultry stock. Lewiston Journal.

Tobacco Verbs.

It is curious how, while the Eng
hshman speaks of smoking fobac-
co, the Chinaman and native of Ben
gal speak of eating it, and the
native of northern India speaks of
drinking" tobacco, thus Indicating
that they regard it as one of the nee
essaries of life. Tobacco grows free
ly IN India, which may account for
its cheapness and general use

The tide of social life runs so
strong In the great capitals that the
deepest impressions of the time are
soon efaced by the next wave. The
effects of the Reign of Terror were
therefore much more apparent in
the provinces than at Paris. / re-
member our stopping for the night
ON the Geneva side of Auxerre at an
inn which exhibited some singular
contrasts The walls of the rooms
were only whitewashed and the floors
filthy, the linen unusually coarse
and the common apparatus of q
French auberge peculiarly uncorn-
Portable, and yet the table ON which
we dined and the chairs of our apart
ments were carved and gilt, and the
latter were covered with the richest
worked crimson damask.
The e1rtskfns Of one Of our betls
were also of some rich silk. while
those of another bed In the same
room were made of coarse printed
calico. Abeautifu1 clock stood ON q
common stone cllimneypiece. and.
the fire requiring little assistance.
the mistress of the inn took from the
side of the chimney pair of elegant
bellows that had belonged to the
same drawing room as the chairs.
On our making some observation on
those handsome articles Of furniture
the woman blushed and seemed dis
pleased, and the people of the house
all had sulky and forbidding look.
which made us suspect that they had
not come honestly by their bargains.

Two Hanoverian horses had long
served together during the Peninsular
war IN a German brigade of artillery.
They had assisted IN drawing the
same gun, and had been inseparable
companions in many battles. One Of
them was at last killed, and after the
engagement the survivor was pick
eted as usual and his food brought to
him. Herefused, however, toeat, and
was constantly turning around his
head to look for his companion, some
times neighing as if to call him. All
the care that was bestowed upon him
was of no avail He was surrounded
by other horses, but he did not notice
them, and he shortly afterward died,
not having once tasted food from the
time his former associate was killed.

To the Baptists of North Carolina the
CHRONICLE extends hearty welcome to
the capital city Were one to search the
state from the mountains to the sea shore,
the Virginia boundary on the north to
the boundary of South Carolina on the
south, he could not find a more represen.
tative or intelligent body of gentlemen
than those who assembled in the Baptist
Tabernacle church yesterday morning to
take up the business of the sixty second
annual convention. Not only were there
learned students of theology, but disci-
pies of Blackstone, and men from the
private walks of life, but all prominent
in their vocations and possessing that
ability which usually characterizes dis
| lnouished conventions
Raleigh has entertained these gentle
men on several occasions and they are not
| strangers 1t is pleasure to have them
here and the CHRONICLE trusts they will
consider themselves as having the liberty
of the city. The latch string to every
door hangs on the outside and it is not
necessary to knock to have it opened.
