Mr.. Gladstone spends His Vacation at
Blnckcraig Castle.

In "The Fair Maid Of Perth" Scott de-
scrlbes Perthshiie as the fairest and most
picturesque Of Scotch counties Mr.. Glad
stone evidently agrees with the great
novelist, for he chose to spend his yaca-
ton this year at Blackcraig castle on the
banks OF the Ardle, a retreat which he
selected because of the beauty of it's en-
Vironment, aided somewhat I'm his choice
perhaps by the fact that with postofflce
ana telegraph only a mile from the gates
communication with the ends OF the earth
Is merely matter of a few minutes.
The castle is an old looking structure
though Il is really a mod arn building. dat
ing only from 1913 It was built by the
late Patrick Allan-Fraser after plans and
ideas Of his own and under his own SUPER
intendence. one of his notions was 10
preserve all rough and weather beaten
stone surfaces as much as possible. the
more lichen covered the better. and these
were invariably turned outward in the
walls, the result being a structure that
looks a hundred years older than il really
is, delusion that is assisted greatly by
the ivy which has taken so kindly to the
walls
The rooms OF the castle are for the
most part small, too much space being
gwen up to spiral staircases and Hobbies.
The drawing room. however. is spacious
enough, high in the ceiling, well lighted
and handsome. The dining room. IN the
basement is lower and somewhat less
imposing The furniture of the house is
all ANTIQUE and Of foreign manufacture,
and Mr.. Gladstone. who is somewhat OF
a connoisseur In such things. expressed
his appreciation OF II.
The garden is not at all pretentious. but
has sundial which shows the difference
between Blackcraig and Greenwich time.
The house is barely stones throw from
the highway, but Is quite secluded
because of the number of sturdy trees
about the place, which. like the house.
look older than they are, every one of
them having been planted since 1877 one
Of the curious features Of the place is a
bridge which spans the Ardle, which is
surmounted by a castellated house with
transverse archway beneath IL for a
carriageway. This bridge is OF later date
than the house, having been finished only
In 1885. Some OF the stones used in its
construction are twelve feet long and
six feet in width. They are OF a peculiar
ly hard granite, very difficult TO work.

ERRORS or SPEECH.
They Are Distressingly Common" Infer
for "Imply."

in English a great number Of errors
have been so well reproved that they are
| growing rarer, says the New York Trl-
| bune. And which," and the false COLO
cation Of only" which a few years ago
were everywhere, are sometimes hardly
| TO be met with I'm the whole Of leading
! article On the other hand new outrages
are gradually getting common. Infer"
! for imply" which would some little time
| ago have been smiled al as a mere vul-
garism, is incredibly frequent In conVersa-
| ton and by no means unknown In print.
But far more hideous is human" for hu-
man being. And this has appeared Of late
in London newspapers that ought TO know
better. Our own complaints as to this
offense have been met by a plea that the
word so used is English poetry as well
as colonial prose, and may be found in
the poems Of Mrs Browning. Obviously,
however, she uses "the human" not in
place of "the man." but precisely as the
beautiful" "the true" were so constantly
used by the ante-penultlmate Lord Lytton.
New follies are the more to be resisted
as the language of the press Is shedding
old ones and Is gaining much In simplicity
The faded phrase. being spent, is at last
allowed to drop out and die. And with
II will by degrees pass away the habit Of
eXaggeratiOn, bOisterous. cold, disappoint-
ing from which reader turns with chilly
disapproval. The weak exaggerate often
the strong exaggerate now and then.
EXaggeration is quite different thing
from extravaganza, violence, delrium.
These may lawfully claim their moment
In art But they can never cover or
disguise the intrusion of exaggeration,
instantly unmistakable. and forever I'M
pardonable.
Then there is the opposite Of exaggera-
ton, which is less mschievous but silier
1t is not common in literature but II is
a most familiar note in a certain kind Of
respectable journalism. Here is an ex-
cellent instance in Thursdays Times
Duke Ernests biographer Is describing
that princes action and influence as con-
tributory to the work OF German unity:
1.-THE remark of the Emperor William to
him at Versailles This ! owe partly TO
you, was in a certain measure justified"
The jaded phrase. the silly phrase and
the phrase Of exaggeration are to be avoid
ed simply by simplicity. To attend to
wait upon what you really think; not to
interrupt yourself with too loud a word;
not to translate your uncertainty by too
pat phrase, your moderation by one too
emphatic-to do thus much is to lend an
effectual hand in a work that has become
greatly necessary.
In the use Of compound words from for
eign languages IT is often the important
half that IS dropped for brevity. Tn
billet de sleeping IS the current phrase
that meets the traveller; so is une bou-
teille de pale. In like manner you may
hear the Englishman perhaps a little
doubtful as to the pronunciation Of the
other world ask you how You liked
"Rusticana."

an arrangement which, like the old darby 3

pecullarlties in the case. it is OF great In
terest to lawyers as raising the point OF
how far the judgments Of State courts
can be enforced i'm the District.
Mrs. Garrett was married 20 Edward 50
long ago that she does not remember the

four children born Of this union have all
grown TO maturity and died, and only the
old couple are left alone 10 fight out their

In 1872 Mrs. Garrett secured divorce
from her husband In the Alexandra
court which also awarded her alimony
Of 81 per month for life. But Edward, she
alleges. has never paid one cent OF this
award. and 10 avoid its enforcement i'm
the Virginia courts he moved into the
District, where he is now established at
Hillsdale. He keeps a general store
there. and Mrs. Garrett estimates his
property at $4,000.
She says that she supported herself and
her children for twenty years by her own
exertions, but now that she is old and al
most helpless she thinks that her ex-
partner should be made to pay her what
he has wrongfully withheld all these
years. Accordingly she has brought suit
