The dialect of the magazines is gener-
ally the worst possible misspelling, with
very little approach to the pronunciation
which it is supposed to indicate. Ap-
parently the hardest thing for writer to
learn is that dialect is not bad spelling.
Half the Irish dialect, so-called, seen in
the magazines 10 libel on the Irish pro-
nunciation, while, if possible, the negro
dialect is even worse. The trouble is
that the writers have, as a rule, picked
up their dialect from other writers and
know nothing of the genuine article. If
they would go to nature there would be
a marked improvement in this respect

Still the White War Ships.

There will be no change in the color
OF our naval vessels, after all, and they
will continue to plough ssthe dark and
deep blue ocean" in their pristine white
beauty. An order was issued by the
Navy Department yesterday prescribing
that hulls of all iron and steel vessels Of
the navy outside, above the load water
line, and the bulwarks inside shall be
painted white.~ Regulations are pre-
scribed as to the kind and character of
paints and oils to be used, 80 as to insure
uniformity. A light straw color is now
the regulation color for the masts, bow
spirits, doublings, smokestacks, and yards.
A slab, painted to match the standard
color, will be prepared at the New York
Navy Yard and furnished to each Navy
Yard and station and to each vessel in
commission. --lWashington Star.

The Fly's Foot.

The foot of a fly is quite as ingeni-
Gus 40 the leg Of bee. 1t is COM
posed Of pair Of claws and pair OF
flaps, which form what may be called
the sole OF the foot. Most boys have
made disks Of leather, placed string
through them, wetted them, stamped
them on fiat stones, ard then swung
the stones in triumph. The secret
OF the lifting power is, of course, the
pressure of the atmosphere on the
upper surface of the leather, the air
having been expelled from between
the leather and the stone. Well. the
f1y's foot acts on the same principle
Each OF the flaps has ON its lower
surface large plumber of minute
trumpet-shaped suckers. These suck
ers are hollow, and down them passes
little sticky substance, which helps
to exclude the air, and like the heavy
boots OF a diver, assists it In main
tanning firm fcothOld. So that the
fly has three SEPARATE appliance
hooked claws for rough surfaces, at
mospheric pressure flaps for ceilings
and the like, and liquid glue for
smooth window panes. In the au-
tumn the fly, through old age and
general debility. is unable to lift up
its suckers, and Is frequently found
dead and fast mnored by its feet.

CHAPTER Y.

They left each other after one or two
refreshers at their favorite restaurant,
with the appointment standing for 10
next morning. 1t was not kept by
either party. The Colonel called q
hanson, and as he waved his one hand
to him it was the last glimpse the little
Dutchman ever had of his military
Yankee relative, with his distinguished
bearing and his sleeveless coat.

late, for he had met friend and dined
with him at his club.
Mrs. Vanderstroom was dosing in q
chair before the fire.

ogetically.

you wouldn't have broken your word"
Broken my vord-vat vord?" cried
Vanderstroom in amazement.

"Why, who should have it but you?

pocket-book up to him at once"

fortunate merchant, as his eyes caught
sight of the memorandum paper he
had written at the dictation of the
American, requesting the immediate
return Of his pocketbook, and signed
actually signed-Cornelius Wander
stroom; his own misguided autograph.
Done by y" he shouted, as the
whole swindle flashed upon him. Then
he rushed to the stables, had a horse
put to his carriage at once, and made
his man drive at top speed back to
town.
1t was past l in the morning when
he reached the Americans hotel. The
bird had flown. With a horrible sus-
picion that he had not yet realized the
worst, he next drove to the Office in
Hatton Garden. With trembling hands
he unlocked the great safe and opened
the jewel case. 1t was empty. In place
of the diamonds there was only a slip
of paper; and Cornelius vanderstroom

tector Of Q 'put-up yob. fell fainting ON

FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS
JUST ONE BIRTHDAY,

JUST ONE BIRTHDAY,
Sixty seconds make a minute,
But where do the minutes fly?
Ii there's a lesson to learn. let's begin it,
And not wait till by and by.
Twentyfour hours make day
1t never seems half so long
When school is over, and we can play,
And the ice is smooth and strong.
The year has twelve months altogether,
And it's mighty strange, must say.
That with all its dull and sunshiny
weather,
1t brings just one birthday.

CHAPTER ".

But long before the expiration of the
term fixed for the completion of the
setting OF the diamonds, the American
was back in Hatton Garden. And the
visits became more frequent as the in
t1macy between the two VanderstrOoms
grew stronger. The ColOnel-he was
not general, as the Dutch Cornelius
found out from inquiries he caused to
be made at the Americans hotel-the
Colonel developed habit of dashing
up with those magnificent bays of his
to the merchants Office two or three
days week, lust to see how he was
getting on" and to invite him out for q
bottle of IA" and an oyster patty at
the adjacent railway restaurant. On
these occasions the American would
allow the voluble little Dutchman to do
the major portion Of the talking.
Somehow or other the conversation in
variably took the direction, under the
Coloneps dexterous steering, Of Lon
don thieves and the various great rob-
berries and swindles that had recently
taken place in the metropolis. This
was q subject on which the diamond
merchant was quite at home, and,
there being no wife in the way, he pro-
peeded to pose with great impressive
ap on ssnt Sas
Of Eli, o66; and how all these a affairs fairs
were worked on the conjurer's princi-
pie Of de quickness of de hand dat de-
ceives de eye
Once, after the opening of q second
bottle, when Cornelius the lesser had
grown extra communicative, he i'm
parted to his kinsman the episode of
the lost pocketbook, and the tenacity
with which his wife had stuck to the
$500 she had found in the hall, refus-
Ing to give It up, except on his urgent
demand, for the application of the sum
strictly to business purposes.
The American, who had been lolling
At the bar with characteristic languor,
grew suddenly interested. He stiffened
himself up, listened attentively, be-
came distracted for minute or two,
then hastily, for such an unusually de-
Hberate gentleman, tossed off his glass,
pleaded q forgotten engagement, got
into his phaeton, and was driven off by
the discreet-looking groom, with whom
he might afterwards have been noticed
In earnest conversation, in the direc-
ton Of his hotel.

This time stones to the value Of

The diamond merchant was perfectly
satisfied; and, at his friends urgent
solicitation, promised to hurry up"
and have the entire suite complete that
day three weeks, so that the silver
king could catch the American mail on

tuo IOllOWlnR friday, as ne was anxious
to lose no time in getting back to that
wonderful Tom Tiddler's ground of bis
in Arizona. All reason for anxiety was
promising to bring the G3,3OO with
him, and @planking down fair and
square, before the jewels were handed
over to him.
At last the eventful day arrived when
the setting was finished and the mag
nif1cent suite of jewels were ready in
their great velvet-lined case for de-
livery.
The Colonel was punctuality itself.
He was driven up to the office, as usual,
by that em!nently respectable groom of
his, and he came in smoking great
green cigar, as cool and collectedly as
ever.
The suite was pronounced superb. It
surpassed the Colonel's expectations.
Would Vanderstroom the lesser
mind putting the diamonds back in
their case and handing them to his
man below while he, the Colonel,
counted out the notes?
The merchant was about to do as he
was bid when his habitual caution got
the better of him. He kept firm hold
on the case, and didn't bulge an inch.
The Colonel evidently didn't see his
hesitation. He was feeling, as well as
he could with his one hand, in his
pockets, and seemed rather discon-
certed at not finding what he was
searching for.
Would his namesake mind, lust go
ing over him?" He was so helpless
with his one hand.
Tiers was no pocket-book to be
found.
After q moments reflection, the
Colonel slapped his leg, laughed, and
said he had it. He remembered now
his wife took his bill case out Of his
pocket at the hotel that morning to get
come monsy to pay for some frocks.

PEovlnEN, F, Sept. l9 - Gentleman George Ellwood. the desperate criminal who last February entered upon a 25 years sentence at the Rhode Island state prison for burglary. was shot and killed while try ing to escape. The tragic ending of his no torious career was the result of a scheme to which he and Spike Murphy, the latter a life prisoner. sought to fight their way to freedom. Ellwnod had determined to get away or he killed. Deputy Warden Rowe was the first officer encountered Ellwood attacked him with heavy iron tool hanGl, and a hammer.
 The assault was sudden that the off Ger could only ward off the shower of blows rained upon him. For few min utes this continued before the officer had a chance to reach for his revolver. Mean while Murphy was scared by the thrilling spectacle. and deSerting his comrade turned hack to the shop when the revolver was produced.
 Four shots were fired. The fourth caused Ellwood 10 reel and fall and in five min utes he was dead. Both prisoners were armed with hammers, iron tool handles knives and weights. Murphy was stripped and sent to solitary confinement
