Manuscript of 'eThe School For Scandal

No printed version of '"The School
For Scandal" was prepared for publica-
ton by Sheridan. He always alleged
that he could not supply II with which
he was perfectly satisfied. Yet he made
the attempt, and Mr.. Fraser R.o Is
discovered the copy containing his final
corrections of passages in many scenes,
which Moore must have overlooked, the
documents at his disposal having recent
ly been put into Nh. Fraser Rae's hands
by S%heridan's descendants for the pur-
pose of writing a complete biography of
the great dramatist and orator. The
manuscript is imperfect, yet enough is
extant to show how effectually Sheridan
could add a fresh charm to his polished
phrases. London Athen&um.

ssBattle in the Cameroonsn says Q re-
cent cable. What auAswhere are the
t,ameroons? This from the New York
fgerald win elrcidate q little:
The Carneroons Is q territory ON the
Right Of Biafra, West Africa, one
hundred and fifty thousand square
miles in extent, and with an estimated
population of two millions It has .
coast line of one hundred and twenty
miles between the Campo river and the
Rio del Rey, is bounded ON the north
east BY treaty line running north
east to the east Of Yola, on the upper
isenue, and ON the south by line run
ming inland, due east from the mouth
of the Campo river, to about the me-
ridian of longitude fifteen degrees east
which may be regarded as the eastern
or inland limit of the so-called ''pro-
tectorate.n
In 1902 there were one hundred and
sixty-six whites, Of whom one hundred
and nine were German and thirty-one
English. 1t became German pro-
teetorate in 1884, and is placed under
an imperial governor, assisted by q
chancellor, two secretaries and local
council Of three representative mer-
chants. The country is fertile, and
numerous valuable African vegetable
productions grow in profusion. Plan
tations Of cacao and tobacco have been
farmed by company, and numerous
factories carry on an active trade In
ivory and palm oil. On January l,
1888, an import duty was imposed on
European goods, and from this the
revenue is mainly derived The chief
town is Cameroons, and in the South
Batanja, Bimbia and Bakundu Town
are other important trading stations,
and Aqua Town and Bell Town are the
principal native settlements The inn
ports and exports are quite large.
In April last, MIR Henry NJ. Stanley
wrote to the peace association q letter
III which he attributed the increase OF
trade in 1922 at African ports nnaer
German administration to the growing
practice among German merchants OF
importing into Africa small arms and
ammunition These materials OF war,
ne said, were sold to the slave traders
and do inestimahie damage. MI. ctan-
ley inculpated also the portuguese IN
his charges. He appealed 70 the Euro
mean nations to suppress the traiiic IN
arms carried on by the Germans ana
Portuguese. Unless this step pc taken'

The Application Embarrassed.

There lives in certain small town a
poor minister who has large family
which his salary does not begin to cover
(literally), so the congregation have do
mated cast off clothing for the children,
and even the poor minister's wife goes
to church in the last years bonnet and
cloak of deacon's wife. The poor lady
has grown used to this and does the best
she can with the copglomeration Of
dresses, cloaks and hats which are sent
her, though the result is sometimes
rather tragic However, she has always
felt that she did nobly by the children,
and if the dresses and coats and cloaks
and trousers were misfits none was ever
unkind enough to say anything about it.
One Sunday, however, she dressed the
nine hopefuls with great care and
marched them to the church. She was a
little late, and just as she opened the
door and started up the aisle her hus-
band Numbered from the pulpit, even

Chancellor Henry Bathurst was held
in low esteem by the bar on account Of
his ignorance. At the close of the trial
Of the Duchess of Kingston for bigamy
he gravely addressed her grace in the
following terms: "Madam, the lords
have considered the charge and evidence
brought against and have likewise con-
sidered of everything which you have
alleged in your defense, and upon the
whole matter their lordships have found
you not guilty of the felony wherewith
you stand charged, but on dismissing
you their lordships earnestly exhort you
not to commit the same crime a second

Dispelling an Illusion.

One of my readers wants to know the
correct pronunciation Of the word
''Llanthony." 1t is always a painful
thing to me to dispel the prevalent IL
fusion that newspaper editors know ey-
erything, but owing, l suppose, to the
fact that was taught Latin and Greek
in my youth, when ought to have been
learning the tongues of the living,
have grown up ignorant Of the proper
pronunciation of Llanthony. All l can
boast of is q general idea that in Welsh
most of the consonants are vowels and
most Of the vowels sounds which no
Englishman can hope to initiate. But
If any Of my readers can throw any light
on ''Llanthony" / shall be happy to as
sist in spreading it.-London Truth

Over and over he went until within

Pat held on for few seconds, when
suddenly, with cry of "Sthand from

TWO MASCULINE GIRLS.
Bpeculations About Them By the Othe
Passengers In tho Car.

Bpeculations About Them By the Other
Passengers In tho Car.
It was their brief, unorinolined dress
skirts that drew the eyes Of the up to
date girl. A messenger boy tried to fig
ure out how their hair staid up with
nothing so feminine as hairpins In evil
denoe. The manlike cuffs peeping above
the dogskin gloves attracted the atten-
ton of business man, while dude
, started as he caught sight Of their we'll
built boots. Even the conductor stared
hard at them.
One Of the girls was not so far gone
in her masculinity as the other. The
twist of velvet in her hat showed q lin
gering leaning toward the feminine, but
the eyeglasses, the umbrella and the
armful Of books were common to both.
All unconscious Of the interest they in
spired, the two buried themselves in
their notebooks The more masculine
planted her feet we'll apart and used her
knees as an umbrella rack. This didn't
enhance the grace Of her abbreviated
dress skirt. Every now and then she
flourished liberal handkerchief that
was in curious contrast to the lacy shred
tucked into the up to date girls card
case. "Who and what were they any
way?" the passengers asked themselves.
"Women suffragists, thought the
business man.
"Some Of those dreadfully strong
minded creatures that want to vote, I"
said the up to date girl to herself.
"Jingol All they need is trousers, !"
was the mental remark of the messenger
boy, while the dudes feeble brain regis
tered some such impressions as these:
"Aw-I've heard Of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
dontcherknow.--but, thank goodness,
I've never-aw-never weakly seen one
-aw-met"-
Just here the more masculine girl
looked up from her notebook.
"Do you think disintegration in
typhus possible?" she asked her compan-
ion in loud, clear tones
"Why, yes" replied the other. IF
we accept the globular theory. you
know
The mystery was solved. They were
medical students. ALI the other passen-
gers drew sigh Of relief, except the
dude. He had vanished into thin air.

NY FOREST PATH.

tmow q path all fringed with fernA
A woodland path with many turns,
Where In the overarching trees,
That toss their heads In every breeze,
The wild birds carol sweetest lays
In vesper song and matin praise.
] sit me down, and at my feet
The light and shade, coquetting, meet.
The harshest sounds that greet my ear
Are tinlkling bells In pastures near,
And ripping waves that to the shore
Repeat their story evermore.
Oh, f1tful lake! 50 like my heart.
Thy moods strange thoughts within me
start.
Like thee. sometimes seem at rest.
But oft by surging cares oppressed.
Yet not today to wearied brain
Shall vexing problems come again.
The lake its soothing music hath,
And blessed peace my forest path.
