was the meanest man in the world.
In fact, he has a redheaded sister
and couldn't we'll escape being told
so, but many Of his friends doubted
until he was married. They all be-
lieve it now. Mrs. Gigsley is one OF
the dearest, loveliest, most innocent,
trusting, affectionate creatures that
ever longed for strong, manly boz
som to rest upon. They were mar
ried two weeks ago, and, as Gigsley
doesn't believe in wedding tours, they
began housekeeping Immediately out
on the avenue. The second day OF
their welded bliss had passed, and

Here are a few of the words which
are misused by the careless writer.
Apt for liable or likely: caption for
heading; captivated for charmed;
commence for begin: considerable for
large or great. "He felt considerable
interest in the work" Convene, to
come together. for convoke, to call
together. Crime, vice and sin as
synonyms. Crime is a violation of a
statute law of particular country.
Sin is a violation of religious law.
Vice is moral wrong, not dependent
upon the country or creed Of the per-
son. What is criminal may not be
sinful or vicious. Divine for clergy
man or priest; dock for wharf or pier;
evacute, which means to make
empty, for to 60 away; every for all.
"He deserved every praise" Expect.
We can expect that which is to come,
not what has happened. Fructify
for to bear fruit; gratuitOus means
without payment" inaugurate fol
beginning or opening; introduce--in
using this word observe the general
rule that the man is introduced to
the woman unless the man is of ex-
IRENE age; jewelry for jewels; learn
for teach. "You can learn, but !
must teach you" Leave for let;
loan, as a verb, to lend is the verb;
locate for to settle or to place; marry
the woman is always married to

no matter how inefficient and dis
qualified she may be, for the work of
the house. She must be fed, clothed
and respected and her wages paid,
writes Mrs. Sherman in the North
American Review. She may break
crockery to any extent, often to that
of thousands of dollars; she may
throw away sugar and flour and
meat and potatoes by bad cookery;
she may be insolent to her mistress,
taking her own time for going out
day or evening; and she may badly
wash the fannels and scorch the gen.
tlemen's shirts; the mistress must
put up with it, else the precious
creature will leave and the lady must
do her own work: or as dressmaker

employer remarked, putting the frag-
your gowns Yourself" This is not
good political economy. The servant
should be taught moral obligation
We must remember that there is no
tyranny in republic; there can be
none but the tyranny of the masses.
And as the welfare of the millions
is bound up in this question, as the
comfort and prosperity of our great
estate must depend upon the indus
trial ability and honesty of those who
serve us for wages, it follows that the
first thing to teach a servant is a
sense of moral obligation. When we
take into consideration the early his
tory of those who come to US as do
mestic servants, the marvel turns out
to be not that they are SO deficient,
but that they are not more SO. Look
at the poorer classes in the streets of
Glasgow, for instance. We need not
cross to the adjacent kingdom. We
know all about "the pig and the pra-
ties" and really from Piga nd-Pratie-
dom come some Of the best of our
nurses and maids. No one who has
kept house a number of years but has
a sprinkling of delicious and refresh
ing gratitude, in her Renaissance,
over some dear and faithful Biddy.
Their faults are those of ignorance
and that double brain which is al
ways tripping itself up (the cause of
the Irish bulD, the impossibility of a
clear comprehension Of the straight
road, blinking and being blinded by
their own wit, and their aimless, in
accurate absence of logic. How much
could be done by giving these Norahs
the healthy and bracing influence OF
honest puritan training in a New
England town! We all know what il
has done for some of them-made
them perfect servants.

THEIR LANGUAGE isALEoAcY.
The Conquerors Have Gone, but Their
Tongue Is the Only oneSpoken.

The Conquerors Have Gone, but Their
Tongue Is the Only onespoken.
There is an instance in Africa or a
people who subjugated large region
and after years of supremacy were
themselves expelled from the country,
but left their language the universal
medium of speech as Renaissance
of their occupancy, says an exchange.
These people are the Makololo tribe,
who, forty-eight years ago, under
their warlike chief, Sebotoane, left
their homes among the mountains of
Basutoland, crossed the wide desert
of kalahari, an enterprise involving
incredible hardships, and finally set
settled along the upper Zambesi and
its tributaries. Their emigration
proved the capacity of the savage
African to leave his native land and
make a new home for himself in a
far-distant region.
Livingstone has described this
fierce chief, SebotOane, who con-
quered all the tribes around him,
made himself master of the large
empire of the Barutse, and SO came to
Guile region as large as some of the
European states. 1t was in 1916
that Livingstone saw him. The
empire of the Makololos lasted until
1864, when, on account Of the cruelty
Of Sekeleto, the son Of the old king,
who had died five years before, a
general revolt occurred, and the Max.
ololos were driven from the country
by the natives, who were far more
numerous than the intruding people.
There is to-day not a single Max.
ololo in that region, but strange tc
Say. during the twenty years of the
domination of this tribe their Ian
guage, a little corrupt, became the
language of all that immense terri.
tory. Thus it happens that a Ian
guage of South Africa is now spoken
in the upper Zambesi by many thou
sands of people who are quite distinct
from the tribe that imposed the
language upon them. The natives
have, in fact, almost forgotten their
original languages, though they have
introduced into their new speech
quite a large number of the words
which formed part of the voca bulary
of their forefathers. So the Max
ololos, no longer living in the coun-
try, have left profound traces Of theil
former occupancy.

when some exceptionally good ice
master is in charge of Thaler, he
dashes into the better fishing grounds
for short cruise; another. less skill
full, lured 10y brighter prospects or
discouraged by poor catch outside,
enters the inlet and either reaps a
rich harvest of oil and bone or wrecks
his vessel. Or he may escape after
an Imprisonment in I. zip OF the
merciless ice letters for a !, ear or two
longer than he intended to stay.
Such was the fate of the good ship
Gladiator, from a well-known whaling
port in Southeastern Massachusetts.
She sailed to the northermost end of
the welcome as the sailors called
it, and after Il most profitable catch
of "bowheads, a." had the i'll fortune to
remain firmly bound in the ice for two
years. During this long time, much
longer than that for which the vessel
had provisioned. the crew were de-
pendent on the many Eskimos who
clustered around the ship. The ma
tiyes supplied them with ample guam
titles of reindeer, musk OK, seal, and
walrns meat, in return for small
quantities of molasseS and coffee.
Their companionship too, rude as it
was, did much to while away the
dreary, lonely hours Of the two years
imprisonment.

Japanese Ians.

Only one cent for a fan! Yet it is
strongly made of twenty-five strips
OF bamboo, with two thicker ones at
the ends, the latter having on them
a polish Of black lacquer. The strips
are held together by riyet, forming
a hinge, on which the fan opens and
closes. The upper ends of the strips
are covered with two layers of tough
pa per, painted in four colors repre-
senting flowers, the top edge touched
with another color. How can such
an article, brought from Japan to
this country, be sold at so low price
with profit? In the first place, bam-
boo grows plentifully in Japan; it is
easily split by hand-and-foot ma
chine, and hundred Of thousands
strips can be made in a day The
japanese excel in the making of
strong or tough paper, and in paint
ing rapidly by stamping process,

getheT of the fan is done by machin-
cry, and the cost of the labor is al
most nothing when compared with
the pay of American workman. The
cheap fans are used as packing for
more expensive goods, as porcelain
Jars, and as they pack closely, large
number can 60 inside and around one
umbrella stand, so there is no cost
for the freight Of the fans Although
there is thirty-tiye per cent duty on
both the porcelain and packing, the
invoice price of the latter is SO small

The fan packing is then sold here in
job lots, and the peddlers get them

they can sell them so cheaply. Even

much higher than the japanese
charge for them in large quantities,

competing points, the Western Union
established what we're known as Mu-

low that the Baltimore and Ohio found
it impossible to live as a competitor.
The Western Union, With its almost
limtless connections, hardly missed
the money it was losing in this COM
