On the principle Of "In Rome do as
the Romans do ! think 1t a safe rule
to pronounce the name Of place as the
residents Of that place do. Hence we
should speak Of ST. Louis as though it
were written "St. Lewis not "St.
Louee." All good Missourians say ''st.
Lewis 1t is q little difficult to put
down in black and white the local pro-
nunciation of New Orleans, but 1t Is
something like this, New Awl-yins,"
with the strong accent on the "Awl."--

The RaYages of the White Ant.

The workers never venture in sight
except in extreme cases. No one Is
ignorant of the terrible destruction
these insects occasion to the works of
man. Invisible to those whom they
threaten, they push on to their gal
leries, to the very walls of their houses.
They perforate the floors, the beams,
the wood work, the furniture, respect
ing always the surface of the objects
attacked in such a manner that it is
impossible to be aware of their hidden
ravages. They even take care to pre-
vent the buildings they eat away from
falling, by filling up with mortar the
parts they have followed out But
these precautions are only employed if
the place seems suitable, and if they
Intend to prolong their sojourn there.
In the other case they destroy the wood
with inconceivable rapidity. They
have been known in one night to pierce
the whole of a table leg from top to
bottom, and then the table itself, and
then, still continuing to pierce their
way, to descend through the opposite
leg, after having devoured the contents
of trunk placed upon the table.

Gained bY Stratagem.

Finding it impossible to see the
stage while the lady in front OF him
wore her large hat, Jones, in his most
insinuating manner, asked her to re-
move it. Take off my hat!' she ex-
claimed. why, what impudence! OF
course won't take off my hat. Very
we'll, madam" said the man, II beg
your pardon for asking the favor, but
/ rather think you will At the end
Of the act the owner of the beribboned
and heavily trimmed structure heard
aoarse cries, such as Take it of, you
ohump" Remove that hat, there!"
Take it off! Take it off" 1t is quite
needless to say that the hat Immediate
ly landed in the lady's lap. The gen.
tleman leaned toward her, thanking her
profusely. And the poor, imposed
upon woman probably never found out
that the man had put on his own silk
hat, and that all the horrifying yells
were aimed at him.

Taken at Bis Word.

A lawyer who was cross questioning
some witnesses, and had done every
thing in his power to confuse them
brusquely asked them, when other
methods failed, to speak up louder.
The last man called, a burly
countryman, decided that he would
take the lawyer at his word, so in re-.
sponse to the first question, what his
name was, he replied in voice that re.
verberated through the building:
John Brown, sir-r-r-r.
Il guess you've been drinking this
morning said the irate lawyer, stern
ly.
Yes, sir-r-r-r, replied the witness,
as though calling to neighbor two
miles distant.
Il thought SO, said the lawyer tri-
umphantly. What did you take?"
Coffee, sir-r-r-r' shouted the wit.
ness.
A burst of laughter from the court.
room disconnected the lawyer for
time, but when the merriment had sub
sided he inquired, nothing dauntel:
Il guess you had little something
else in your coffee, didn't you?'
Yes, sir-r-r-r, still came the reply
"Ah. now we're coming to it, said
the lawyer. rubbing his hands aid
winking to the jury. Now, my good
man, don't be afraid, but speak right
out and tell the jury just what you
had in your coffee
The witness filled his lungs for a
tremendous effort, and thundered:
"A spo-o DON, sir-r-r-r."
The court room, bench and bar were
"ouvulsed with laughter, and the
b lgering lawyer lost his case.

Rapid Growth,

Ten years have passed since the
Loeb Leyen trout we're introduced into
this country, and anglers say that
they are likely to replace the common
native brook trout. While the fisher
men who have gained their love for
angling by wading the Adirondack,
Pennsylvania or New England streams,
where the bright red and vermilion
spotted trout were abundant, feel that
there is no species on the face of the
globe that can compare with the
American, yet the large size of the Eu-
ropean species makes him welcome The
rapid growth of the brown trout, and
the remarkable size that those first
brought over have attained, has shown
that the fish adapt themselves to
American streams. In some brooks
where they have been introduced they
have crowded out the original speckled
Inhabitants with the exception of the
largest ones. With the pickerel de-
vastating the Adirondack lakes, and
the brown trout usurping the streams,
there seems no place for the brook
trout. To the angler the brown trout
is satisfactory. They are a vigorous
fish, and play well. In point of beau
ty, however, they are far inferior to the
native American trout. The small fish
are excellent eating, though many claim
that the mountain trout are superior.
If the brook trout are to go, however
the brown fellows will be welcome
substitute.
