Why should SO many persons say span-

the New York -aaeaisfr, There is no
excuse for saying ap-pricot for apricot,

words in which the accent is persistently
misplaced by persons who know better.
Ii is common to put the accent on the
second syllable of peremptory instead Of
on the first, on the first instead of on the
second syllable Of coqnetry, ON the second
instead Of the first syllable of exemplary,
etc. Many persons place the accent ON
the first instead of the second syllable Of
inquiry, and do not give the ''i'' its proper
length. The accent in gladiolus should
be on the second syllable, with long Il, +"

say hy-meen-e-al, with the accent on The

Large Families.

y. O. Times Democrat,
The feeHndity of the Frenoh-Gana-
dians has long been recognized. A late
law Of the Quebec Parliament has given
us some statistics on the subject, which
are startling even to those who believed
in the big families of the ''habitans.n
The Parliament, at the suggestion OF
ex-PFemier MeTcier, passed a law declar-
ing that it was advisable, following
the example of past customs, to give
marks Of consideration for frnitfulness in
the saerad ANA sure bonds of matrimony;"
and providing that 100 acres Of public
land should be given TO every head af a
family who has twelve or more children
living, issue eta lawful marriage.
The act is likely to cost the govern
ment more than it expected, for already
lT42 fathers Of twelve or more living
children have turned up, complied with
the conditions of The act, and received
the state bounty Of 100 acres; sud there
Is every reason 20 believe that there are
MANY. more similar large families.
The difference between Quebec and
Massachusetts in this matter is well
shown in the fact that, although about
equal in population, while Canada has
certainly l742 of these large families and
probably 200, there are in Massachu-
sets only 76 families of that size OF
native parentage. There are, it is true,
2sS families Of foreign percentage, bni
then Massachusetts is full Of French
Canadians, and il is probable that o
large portion Of these big families are OF
s.habitanp origin.
1 Tho decrease in the birth rate IN Mas
saelussetts, particularly among the
families Of Puritan origin, has frequently
been noticed. There are no large fami-
lies as in the early days Of the country

Poultry Iulloiin-
The mammoth Russian snHtlOwer has
buti ono bud at the top, which when half
grown. turns upside down, which com
pleteiy protects its seeds from those little
denredators tho EHgllsh sparrow and the
yellow birds, that are so fond oft. For
this reason penltrymen should plant
nothing hut the mammoth Russian vari-
ETY.. All who raise poultry should have
a supply Of sunflowers for their fowls,
who should begin to feed on them as
soon as tho seeds are fully matured.
They will. produce four times as mn h
nntriment for fowls to the sQuaro acre as
Indian corn. and are better suited to the
health Of the fowls than any grain. Ecnd

week and let the fowls pick them ont;

them. In addition to the supply of food
they offer, they aiforSla shade from he

BILE. Single heads of the mammoth Ras-
sian suniiower measure from sixteen -
twenty-four inches in diameter. The
seeds fatten poultry and give them a
bright, lustrOus condition. It is The
most remarkably productive food yet
known. and can be raised cheaper than
corn. 1t is acknowledged to be an arti-
Gle of value wherever grown.

He located at Glasgow under the assumed

was not discovered until he had received
his fatal wound last Tuesday. When he
was told that he had to die he disclosed
his name and asked that his people be

was about his horse, a magnificent ami

fall into the hands of new owner, who
would abuse him, and he said that
that thought worried him. There had
existed a touching affection between the
horse and Allison The latter loved
White Man as he did nothing else on

An improvement in Mortgages.

PliIadelphia Record.
The aggregate. mortgage indebtedness
Of the United States on January /, 1884,,
amounted to the immense sum of S6s0l9,
G7O.9S5. The meaning of this vast debt,
represented by I, II, SOS separate mort
cages, might be misinteFpTeted, and for
that reason one of the latest census bull
letins issued by Commissioner Corrol d.
Wright is especially valuable. Inan at
tempt toaseertain the purposes for which
mortgage Indebtedness has been incurred,
the commissioners caused personal inquir-
les to he made in 1O2 selected counties. As
"a result he has found that S0.13per cent
Of the mortgages in number and - 56
per cent in value, were made for pur-
chase money and Improvements. Not
for farm and family exPenees. This show
ing together with the gratifying fact
that the acreage rate Of interest declined
from S.14 per cent IN 1880 to 6-75 per
cent in 1883, speaks well for the financial
sonndness Of the farmers of the country.
