Snirit In a Child.

The older members of the family often
laugh at the spirit of the child when they
should correct it. When the habit of ill
temper has been formed by continual out
bursts of anger, they attempt to curb it and
find how had it is to control the force of
habit. Selfishness of every kind grows
with indulgence, but nothing grows SO rap
idly by indulgence as temper. When this
habit il once confirmed, the individual may
be Justly likened to some rabid wild beast,
whom every one seeks to avoid.-New York

AN EXPERIMENT.,

This latter collar is pre-eminently
the neckband of the Johnnies whose
necks are particularly long and whose
delight is collars, jewelry and cuffs
which other men either cannot or will
not wear. This dude" collar is two
and three-quarter inches high in front
and only shade lower at the back;
the points close snugly, but must not
lap. Possibly because Englishmen are
shoster-necked than Americans. the
dude collar at its full height is seldom
or never seen in London, or ia Paris
either. You couldn't induce a French
man to wear it for anything short of
winning the hand of an American
heiress, and even then a thoroughbred
Partisan would hesitate about it. Its
home is essentially in New York, with
Chicago, which apes the foibles and
fashions OF the metropolis with splen-
did perseverance, close second for the
distinction.

A STORY OF GILMORE.
Ills Band Ordered to Act as an Ambu-
lance Corps but Once.

The last time me. Gilmore he told
me very good story about himself
aud his band. says writer in the ST.
Louis Globe Democrat. Just before
the beginning of q battle-I forget ex-
actly what engagement it was-tho
commanding officer gave orders that
Gilmore and his band should act as
am bulance corps. Whenever q soldier
was wounded they were to bear him
from the field. Pretty soon the bullets
began TO sing pretty lively. and the
new ambulance corps rushed around
very briskly looking for somebody to
take from The field. For a lime no
one was hurt. Suddenly it was re-
ported that man down 10 the left
was injured, ami Gilmore's corps made
rush in that direction. Th9y found
the soldier bleeding from a wounded
finger. and proceeded 20 drag him
from he front with great celerity.
"But I'm not hurtm cried the soldier.
"Yes, you are! yes, you arc!' ex-
claimed the ambulance corps with de-
termination. You are severely in
jured, and may die OF blood poison
ing
1t required the services OF the entire
corps To carry that man back TO the
hospital tent, and he needed SO much
attention when they got him there
that they were not able to return to
the field of battle until the fight was
over and the bullets had stopped
whizzing. Gilmore laughingly re-
marked at the end Of the narrative
that the officers never attempted to
press them into the hospital service
on the battlefield after that display Of
bravery.

How Do You Pronounce "-aw IN

Languages: "How doyou pronounce

wants TO be annexed 10 the United
States2' was a frequent question re-
Gently The most commonly accepted
o-thoepy is "uah-vvi-e," the second
syllable accented and the ~ long as in
'pine" The question was once asked
of a high caste Hawaiian lady, well ed
ucated in her own and the English lam
gnage. She answered:
The proper pronunciation is Iiah-
vah-e-e. There Is no W IN our alpha
bet, and no letter or combination Of
letters which takes the sound of Wv
as in English he missionaries who
first translated our language found il
difficult 10 pronounce or express the
sound which is, 10 my ear. correctly
conveyed by the letter ~ softened and

as yiu pronounce it ia fall, and our Il
Is like the Eng iish e. The rule is 20
pronounce every vowel, and as the ex-
ception TO the rule does not affect the
double i in Hawaii, you viii see that
the word is 'iIah-vah-e. c. "
These are the twelve letters of the
Hawaiian language, with their pronun-
citation: a lahj, (aj, (e), (ohl. 0
(ooJ, (hay), X (kayj, 0ahl, IN lmoo),
u moo, pay, v way. There is no
sound Of "i," as in the English lam
gTage, except where al follows "w, %
or, rs the Hawaiian lady would insist,
"v." There is a great difference in the
language as spoken by the high and
low caste Hawaiians. The lower caste

staccato gutturals; the high caste with
a liquid flow that makes il beautiful
language. The insistence upon the

cred even by some Of the educated and
all OF the uneducal ed as something OF

oAwpLINc AND LACK or SYSTEM.
Two Things which Continually Barrass
the Modern busy Woman.

The "busy' woman of the moment is
the busiest creature in existence. Sho
is really dreadfully overworked and
pressed for leisure. Two reasons for
this are assigned by the n. Y. Times.
One is because she is still, while pok-
ing her obtrusive little nose about in
mems work, full of her feminine traits
and characteristics. In her heart OF
hearts she has never quite given up
her liking for dawdling; she hates to
be ready on the minute; things are
wearing that have to be done on Fri
day absolutely. instead of Wednesday
or Saturday, II she feels more lik il.

The business woman does two or

her, for she frequently lays it down,
and il you are another woman you
will ksow by the pucker in her fore
head and the compression of her lips
that she is still full OF home cares.
The business woman, pure aud SIM
pie, is not quite developed. And, as
has been limited, there are some rea-
sons why we are in no hurry that she
shall be. The second cause for the
busy woman's want of leisure is her
want of system. This is not wholly
her fault. She is not born with ii as her
brother is. Generations of business
men have implanted hereditary bus-
ness instincts punctuality. system,
promptness, application, perseverance,
and they quickS develop in most
young men. 1t will take generations
of busy women to give them the same
chance.

PRIDE'S CONFLICT.
A STORY OF CASTE.

TINS was the g,ss Of the whole letter.
Florence knew perfectly well but breath
from her old world always unsettled her
Gtally in her present home. In the midst
OF her weary. wandering thoughts. a step
passed her door, lingering moment ON
It's threshold. IL brought a sudden flush
to her face, but little change In her heart.
Her resolve WAS nearly taken; Lady Ra-
ycn's wishes should prevail, and seemed
already far on the way TO success.
Two days passed before Philip CARING
tonand Florence met again. He had sought
her once or twice directly during the
time; but she had always avoided him.
She dreaded what she knew must come,
and she dreaded TO renounce all her happi-
ness. She resented her cousins absence,
and yet few away breathlessly when she
heard his step; but this was not always
possible. The time passed wearily enough,
she yearned for the sight Of one she WAS
voluntarily putting away from her for e Ser,
for the sound Of a voice which had power
to thrill every nerve In her frame; yet, In
spite Of all, her decision was made.
She had written TO Lady Raven, saying
she would be ready TO come to her at once
on her return TO England; but as yet she
had withheld her decision from her uncle
and aunt Darlington. She had deferred 1t
from day to day, dreading their soiicta-
tions for her TO remain with them. She sat
wearily enough alone In her morning room.
Her aunt was busy below, rearranging
china and plate, and the girls had gone for
. long winter walk, from which Florence
had shrunk. Hoping for what she dreaded,
she told herself there could be no chance
Of her cousin Philips arrival at home for
two hours at lcast--and yet she listened
with painful intentness for his step.
IL came at last aud In 4 moment she no.
tieed how his face had changed since she
last saw him, how worn aud pale lie was |;
and 1t made her heart ache, though she
stroye all the time TO nerve herself for what
might come. lie seemed prepared TO find
her where she was. Whether she had fallen
into trap carefully laid for her she could
not tell few things only were clear TO
her, and at the same time impossible
She wished TO stay In her present home,
and yet not resign the future spten-
dors possible TO her. She wished her
cousin Philip always TO be near her, white
she herself planted an impassabls barrier
between them. These were her thoughts
and wishes.

The days passed quickly; they were

Florence began 10 count the hours, aud TO

pairing to leave London, when he bade her
goodbye, and when all her pent-up love

his words were cold and formal. She no

the others remark the same, adding that it

the girls. She felt that they suspected
what had really happened; and she began
TO wish now for the last few days to pass.
She was sure she would suffer less In an
other house, where everything would not
remind her Of her lost happiness, the trn-
est and purest she had ever known.
Florence's preparations for leaving were'
all made, and acting under her daughters
advice, Lady Raven seemed inclined 10 re-
