of pronunciation which are creeping in and

rustic" sound of in words where either
the italian a" or the intermediate a. is
the proper sound. To a person who has
been absent from the country few years
the growing prevalence of this mispronun-
ciation-and even among some cultivated
personals very striking. Formerly one
might have expected TO hear a farmers

faulty pronunciation spoken of.

spoken by a child; it Is one of the most

Italian al, which may be roughly de-
scribed as being part way between all and
short u (as in up), fares as badly as the
sItalian a., and is often uttered in the
same quacking. rustic manner. Sometimes,
however, both are spoken with a drawl
which makes, e. g.. words like bath and
path have the same vowel sound as bear
and pair. This is still worse than the
simple. fat a. But perhaps the climax of
this faulty utterance is reached when the
rustic "a is given to words where the
diphthong au has the sound of ah as In

more excusable il the mistake were made
OF giving the diphthong it's most frequent

One careful mother, who wishes her chill
dren to shun the fault here noticed, has
been in the habit of having them pro-
nounce every morning at the breakfast
table list of words in which the error is
likely to be made. It would he well If
others followed her example. The vulgar
ism is one which should be studiously
avoided by every one who wishes to speak
correctly and elegantly.

Beyond the Hills,

Beyond the hills the world is fair,
The skies are clear and everywhere
The trees are green, the flowers ablow.
And all the joys that earth can show
Lie scattered free in fullest share.
No fruitless longings ever wear
The heart of any dweller there,
And bright contentment sheds a glow
Beyond the hills.
So on through snow and scorching glare
OF summers sun, against despair
Footsore and weary do / go
Along the way, though well know
Not mine to reach the clearer air
Beyond the hills.

We viewed for the first time such wizardry.
Each budding leaf we're past belief,

Unto the marvellous sight,
And April bright

But an earth-girl of pout and curl

sensible costumes for bicycle riding will
not be looked upon with scorn and classed
The fine weather of last week was en-
courag ing to bicycle riders. The streets
thronged with riders every afternoon
and evening. The new riders seemed to be
nearly as numerous as the old ones. The
attendance at the three riding schools seems
to indicate that there will be more novices
in a short time than experienced riders.
Hearsey's riding school was honored last
week by the attendance of General Har-
rison, who came down town one morning
with Mrs. Mckee and Baby Mckee to
art of riding a wheel. At the other schools
the attendance is equally as good and the
interest manifested shows the prospects for
the summer.
To-day number of parties will leave the
city for short runs: One will go to Mobiles
vile, one to Greenfield and probably one to
Franklin, while two three parties will
go to Broad Ripple, besides many who. will
go in twos and threes. Broad Ripple is
becoming the favorite place for riders who
don't feel able to take the longer trips.
Since the place has been connected with
the city by electric cars many parties are
contemplating the trip some of them by
car and joining their friends, who follow
or precede them on wheels.

She's better whom he doth prefer
Than / am; that he worshfped late,
AS well much prettier,
So much more fortunate.
He'll not repent it-you will SEQ
She'll never give him cause to grieve.

Leaving her; but he'll never leave.
Hopelessiy sweet is she.
So that if in my place she stood
Shed spare to curse him; she'd forgive
I loathe her. but know she would;
And SO will I-God--as live.
Not she alone is good.
