Adopting English Words.

The French Academy, Jealous as it
is for the purity of its native language
is nevertheless obliged to admit that
certain English words have obtained
SO firm a footing in it that it is useless
henceforth to attempt to drive them
out, says the London Daily NeCS. NJ
Greard, chairman or "rapporteur" to
the dictionary commission appointed
by that body, has just presented a re-
port full of details interesting to phil
olorists. The commission does not
attempt to justify "un five o'clock, I"
meaning five o'clock tea, still less the
intinitiye form, five o'clocquer." +"

they are silent as TO meeting" book
maker" USUALLY written "bookmack-
er"), sportsman" Cor "sportmans")
Handicap" "boule dogue," and other
words frequently heard in the mouths
of Freuchmen. What they do say is
that forms like "bifteck" (beefsteak) }.
"break," Spleen" and few others
which may be said 10 have no French
equivalents may henceforth be cousid-
cred as part of the French language.
At the same time it IS recommended
that the spelling shall be altered so
that they may correspond with the To-
cal pronunciation. Thus "bftec" is to
replace "bifteck," "brec." brake and
"spline," spleen.
The most noteworthy of the other
recommendation of the commission
is the suppression of the circumiiea
accent, leaving only two accents, the
acute aud the grave.

HOW TO KEEP AWAY WRINKLES.
What Doctor Says About Women Who
Invite tho Mark Of Time.

An eminent physician has some very
interesting things to say on the sub
ject of wrinkles. The only approach
to cure, in his opinion, is fat. Fat
women are not only better looking
but younger looking than their slim
sisters" says this wise man. "Takc
any two women who can be induced
to tell their age and the fatter one will
look at least six years younger than
her scrawny friend The advice |
should give thin woman for wrinkles
would be two-word sentence, Get
fat And if fat girl asked for advice
! should tell her to keep quiet. Women
in our country wear themselves ont.
They are either jerking, or worrying.
or squirting, or fussing the whole
time, and there's no need for it. 1t
doesn't do any good. American hus-
bands are the best in the world, and
yet t1ejr wives and sisters look .as mis-
and abused
The fact is that with all their study
ing, and reading. and progress they
haven't learned yet how to take care,
how TO dodge issues, how to let things
90 on trust. They lack the saving
serenity, gayety and repose which
nuns, little children and big dogs pos
sess to remarkable degree. Women
begin to get wrinkled when they begin
to abuse their eyes. They trim their
eyelashes and their eyebrows, they use
chemicals to color their hair and clean
the scalp. they use different prepara-
tions to brighten or whiten their com.
pleXions, they neglect to get eye
glasses, they read and sew in poor
light, and the result is injury to the
sight. Squirting follows, and there
you have a crop of wrinkles about the
eyes. Nine women in every ten talk
with their faces. They frown and
scowl when they ought to use adject-
ives. Their hypocrisy shows itself in
the parallel lines across the forehead;
their insincerity and lost teeth are in
dicated by the curves about the mouth.
The bad habits they have of biting
their lips. chewing gum and candy,
and working their mouths unnecessa-
rily bring on the indelible lines years
before their time. Proper protection
for the eyes in and out of doors will
unquestionably retard wrinkles. l
would advise the girl who hopes to be
young old lady to wear a big hat or
carry a small umbrella whenever she
is facing storm, blazing sunlight. or
dust; to do no more night work than
is necessary, and then to wear proof
readers green shade and 10 close her
eyes against all fierce or dazzling
lights"

SUNDAY ON A MaN-CF.WAR,
inspection and General Muster the Bane
of a Sailors Exis tence.

| 10 the average American blueiacket
the junction known as Sunday inspec-
ton and general muster is a specimen
OF elaborate nonsense that oyertops all
others. On board a commissioned
mah-of-war 1t takes place tifty-two
times n year and takes precedenca
over everything else short of ship
wreck, fire or some other disaster.
The preparations that are made for it
would lead an observer who is not fa-
mllIar with the ways of war vessels to
think that it was a sort of state affair
that happened once only in a hundred
years, says the. N. Y. Times They
are begun Friday night, when grease
spots and stains on the decks are coat
ed with lime to render them more sus-
ceptlble to the influence of the holy
stone. Saturday morning all hands

The day is generally occupied in
touching up spots with fresh paint
where the old has been worn off and
coating cables, bits and ring bolts
with coal tar. With the exception of
holystoning the decks, the same per-
formance is gone through with Sunday
morning. After breakfast the crew
array themselves in their best suits of
mastering clothes, the marines put an
extra coat of pipeclay on their helmets
and belts, and every body hides every
thing that belongs to him somewhere
out of sight, Woe betide the luckless
person who leaves any part of his prop
erty lying around, 1t is promptly con-
iscated by the sailors natural enemy,
the master-at-arms, and the owner is
reported for the offense
Finally the bugle sounds the call for
inspection and the crew muster in the
parts OF the ship where they belong.
The commanding officer emerges from
his cabin, and, accompanied by his
first lieutenant and his officer of the
deck, starts on a tour of inspection,
which generally lasts about an hour.
"Quarters" and general muster" fol-
low. The articles of war" which ev-
eryone among the crew generally
knows by rote. are read by the execu-

hour or so, and when it is concluded
such general orders as may have been
issued by the navy department since
the last muster are read. The pay
master next takes the crew in hand
and calls the name Of every person at

\ Tree 1000 Years Old.

On the Island of Teneriffe, one of
the largest, if not the very largest of
Canaries, about halfway between the
Porto Santo and the summit of the fa-
nous Pico de Tyde. the highest point
of land on the island. stands the con-
siderable Town of Orotava. famous for
its wonderful dragon Tree" the
identical botanical specimen which
Hum boldt pronounced "the most an
cient vegetable relic in the world. F"
Humboldt made calculations on its
age in several different ways, and de-
clared that it was between 5000 and
5000 years old. Sir John Herschel
often ailudes to it as the oldest tree in
the world. For ut least twenty CEN
turies the Guanches used the immense
hollow Of this ancient tree as Il temple
of worship. Its eventful career vas
suddenly terminated in the summer
OF 1861, when it was uprooted and al
most entirely DESTROYED by hurri-
cane.

BIRDS ON THE DEFENSIVE.
Their Traits of Self-preservation Are De
veloped In Native Wilds.

The attitudes that some large birds
place themselves in would protect
them in comparatively open places,
mad seen it, one would hardly give the
raptores credit for this, but they prac-
tice it to perfection. This class of
birds has been my favorite study from
boyhood, and | shall never be able to
finish the study, for something fresh
is continually coming before me. The
eagle. for one, places himself in strange
positions, a mere bundled-up bunch of
feathers TO look at.
4 friend of mine. who recently
visited Achill island, the island of the
eagle, was on the cliffs with his wife
and some other friends when lady
saw in a cleft of the Iocks close to her
what she thought was Il splendid tuft
of feathers that had been blown there
by the wind. On STOPPING to pick them
up, out from the cleft dashed mag
nilicent eagle, leaving behind him a
tUft of feathers as memento. Nioiiant
as the bird is, he is frequently walked
over. After gor@ing he gets drowsy;
indeed, it is only under these circum-
stances that such thing could take
place.
Falcons. hawks-the larger specie
can compress their feathers and look
very slim if they think it necessary to
do so. As to the owls. they can hump
up into any position they think most
suitable. 1t is useless 10 look for these
self-preserving traits in any of the
family kept in geological collections.
| for the birds are so accustomed to sea
large numbers of people passing or
standing in front of them that they
treat the whole matter with perfect
Indifference. They know that at 4 GER
tain time their food will be brought
them, and that they are otherwise per-
fectly safe. Then the raptores in a
wild state have 4 bloom on their
plumes Ike the bloom on bunch OF
grapes, which is not often seen when
in captivity.

Determined to See Cleveland.

Ex-Governor Francis became quite
well acquainted with Mr.. Cleveland at
the time the president and his wife
visited the west. some six years ago,
says the Philadelphia Times. Mr..
Francis was the mayor of ST. Louis ard
he entertained the Clevelands at his
beautiful home. In the Francis men,
age at the time of the Cleyelands' visit
was Il cook whose advent in the house
hold had been made not long before

Francis highly recommended. But
she had failing, not uncommon be-

arrival. On that day Mrs. Francis re-
ceived, the surprising announcement
when she came down stairs that moth
ing had been done toward preparing
the breakfast. She sent for the cook;
she did not have to send far. The
cook was standing in the front hall,
watching and waiting for the appear
ance Of Tie distinguished guests. Mrs.
Francis spoke 10 her.

the cook. rather hoarsely.
go down stairs and prepare the
breakfast" said Mrs. Francis with
tirmness.
Devil bit of breakfast will cock

cook aggressively.
Then Mrs. Francis saw that the cook
was under the influence of liquor. She
fed to lind Mr.. Francis. The mavor
came downstairs and interviewed the
cook. She was adamant No presi-
dent, no breakfast, was her motto.
She was not going to stay downstairs
while the other servants were feasting
their eyes on royalty. 1t was nothing
that Mayor Francis assured her that
she should see the president after
breakfast. No; she needed inspira-
ton. She would see tie president or
| no breakfast would be cooked in that
house.
There was only one thing to be
done-to humor her She was quite
| capable in her condition of making a
very unpleasant scene. So The digni-
| fled mayor told her to station herself
in position in the hail where she
! could command a view of the library.
Then he made an excuse 10 escort Mr..
| Cleveland into the library. The cook
