Errors in Pronunciation.

Why should SO many persons say
spontanighity, instead of spontaneei-
ty? says the New York Advertiser
There is no excuse tor saying ap-pricot
apricot, or eck-quable Tor ec.quable,
or Er-rin for Erin, or asa-fidity asa
fetida, or Ven-zu-ee-la for Ven-e-zu-
ella, or Adon-is (short o. for Ado-nis
Gong o., or mat-tron, or pat-tron, and
so on.
1t is just as easy TO accent the last
syllable as the first in "pretense.
Some persons call bomb "boom,"
instead of "bum' because the spelling
scems to warrant it, but when they
call tedious "tejus," they have no such
apparent warrant. In the West and
South the "i'' in isolate is made long.
and nearly everywhere educated per-
sons say truck-u-lent for true-cu-lent
a-men-able tor a-meen-able, lev-ver
for lee-ver, and give the sound Of GU
in up instead of "i' in it in such
words as stirrup and strip.
There are many words in which the
accent is persistently misplaced by
persons who know better. 1t is
common to put the accent on the
second syllable of peremptory, 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 81" its
proper length, The accent in gladio-
lus should be on the second syllable,
with long "i", but many place it OF
the third. They say hy-neen-e-al,
with the accent on the "meen", when
it should be hy-mee-ne-al, with the
accent on the "mee". The exaspera-
ting thing about it is that some OF
these persons who are so careless about
common words take utmost pains to
learn how to pronounce Bouguereau,
and are convulsed when they hear
anybody misprouounce Chopin and
Beethoven. Recently they broke out
with vawz for vase, though the weight
of authority is against it. Knowles
allows it. Webster allows only one
pronunciation, the LONG "a" and his
sing So. WOrchester prefers the "z'
sound, but not the "aw". The inn
proper use of the sounds Of "a" is
most serious. Those who haye the
courage to use the Italian, or the
modified Italian ga, often use it I'M
lawfully, as in cawn't and rawther
The proper sounds of 49," particularly |
in God, dog and some other words,
are widely ignored. The common
usage is wrong in the case of the
terminal sine, in the name of chemi-
Gals as morphine, chlorine, iodine,
aniline, ETC., all of which should be pro-
as though there were no final
"s". 1t is morphin, not morpheen.

Sometimes, as the years glide by,
Mrs. Minny's arms are empty, too, and
her heart yearns for the little baby
over the sea. No other child has come
to her, and her husband frowns at the
mention of journey to France: he is
jealous of even the little hold the lost
baby has on her affections; so there is
a thorn in her bed of roses Skye, too,
is old and sleepy; or is it herself who
has no desire for play? Is she becom-

love her just the same, perhaps more?
He must tire Of her childishness. But
he does love her, and so fondly.

his political prospects with calmness.

KEEPING A RECORD.
How to Keep Track of the Physical Con-
dition OF Animals.

dition OF Animals.
Some one has said that daily rec
ord of the weight of milk given by
each cow in dairy herd is, of itself
alone, of very little value in determin-
ing the relative value of each COW COM
posing the herd, because the weight of
the milk is no indicat of its quality.
The practice of keeping such n record
Is, however, of sufficient value to
abundantly repay for the expense in
Cured Such a record is q valuable
indicator of the physical condition OF
the different animals. Any material
irregularity in the amount of milk
given by any COW indicates something
out of order in the cows health, or In
the feed or water or treatment.
Weighing the milk shows the impor-
tance OF milking the cows regularly
OF even intervals OF time. The effect
Of such a record Is most salutary upon
those doing the milking. 1t creates
greater interest In the work of milk
ing, creating a spirit of emulation
among the mixers to have the cows
in their charge excel the others In the
quantity of milk given; and wh,n the
weighing is done in plain sight the
effect Is better quality of work being
done, and rarely viii any cows be left
half milked. Such records show the
effect of slow or incompetent mixers,
the yield of the milk varying with the
skill of the milker. But however use
ful these incidental results OF such
record may be, II 1t Is coupled with
some easy method of calculating the
quality of each cows milk, the knowl-
edge thus gained of the real merit of
each COW in the herd will supersede all
these other advantages. The Babcock
test Is the only simple and acurate
method by which the quality Of milk
may be measured. With the use of
this test and the scales the dairyman
soon learns the worth OF the different
cows.-Farmers Voice.

One of the Most Striking Curiosities of tho
ReptilIan Kingdom.
Speaking of lizards, the queerest
one we have seen for u long time
reached us the other day from New
Zealand" says scientist in the Wash
ington correspondence of the st. Louis
be-Democrat 1T is named the
'cyclopean lizard because it has third
eye on the top of its head. However, 1t
is not true lizard, but sort of con-
Meeting link between the lizards and
the turtles. The species is limited to
small island near New Zealand, and 1t
has been rendered almost entirely ex-
tinct by hogs with taste for its flesh.
1t attains length of three feet, but all
of the big ones were eaten up long ago
The third eye is rudimentary, but dis
section of its structure plainly reveals
the eye socket, the lens, and strand
of nerves connecting the visual tract of
the brain.
This eye is interesting chiefly be-
cause IL corresponds To the third eye with
which every human being is provided.
The so-called 'pineal gland is actually
an eye that has become rudimentary.
The gland is about the size and shape
Of a pea, and is situated in the middle
Of the head. Place the end of your
finger just above the bridge of your
nose, on level with the eyes, and di-
rectly behind that point five inches is
the gland. 1t still retains somewhat
the structure of an eye. The ancients
supposed it to be the center of con-
sciousness and the seat of the soul"
