SLIPS OF PRONUNCIATION.
Made by People of Culture Who Are
Otherysise Wei Educated.

+ OtnerWtse wen Educated.
+ The most common, the pronuncia-
ton of u" as though it were 100, "
as Moo York, "avenoo" and the
like, has been noted often enough
to make every newspaper reader ae-
qualnted with the correct pronuncia-
ton. 1t is strange that almost the
only case in which the "u" has the
sound Of 100" is the one in which
the Yankee gives it the sound of
"yew," as when ~" follows "r," as
in rule. Another strange thing is
that many persons have made it a
point to shun "didje" and to be al
most offensive in the precision of
their did you, while saying "Toos-
day. instead of "Tewsdy" and zap
parattus'' or "apparawtus" instead
of "apparaytus.
One of the words most commonly
miscalled at this season is apricot,
which should have the long "a. "
Apricot is the common rnispro-
nunciation. Very well educated per-
sons, perhaps most persons, say
"spontanighity" instead of "spon-
taneeity, which is an error that is
incomprehensible. Few persons pro-
nounce inquiry correctly, or
"equable' '-even those who are care
full to give the right sound to "Bou-
guereau, -" Chopin and Bee
thoven;" also words with "ture, "
such as temperature and legislature,
are murdered by intelligent speak
ers. "Adonis," DIANA" Cali
ope" and other names are ruthlessly
slaughtered in good society. Stir
rup, squirrel, strip" and many
others with the short 81, as in lit, !"
are pronounced as though the 81"
were "u," as in sup" The doctors
have pretty generally reformed as to
"itis" in bronchitis and kindred
words, but the public still says "mor-
pheen" instead of "morphin, "ben-
zeen" instead of "benzin,'' etc.
Teachers and preachers in New York
are not uncommonly given to plac-
ing an accent in 'peremptory" on
the second instead of the first, sylla-
BILE, and they give too much promi-
hence to the 500 in that and other
similar words, such as territory"
The English offend by going to the
other extreme of "peremtry, ter
ritry," etc. "Matron," romance,
"pretense, address, ""depot, " are
words very often abused - New

I'M 1895

Harper's Weekly is a pictorial history of the
times. 1t presents every important event prompt
ly, accurately, and exclusively in Illustration
and descriptive text of the highest order.
The manner in which, during 1894, it has treat
ed the Chicago Railway Stribes and the China
Japanese War, and the amount of light it was
able to throw on Korea the instant attention was
directed to that little-known country, are exam
Piles of its almost boUndleSs resources. Julian
Ralph, the distinguished writer and correspond
ent, has been sent to the seat of war, and there
joined by c. d. Weldon, the wsll-known American
artist, now for many years resident in Japan, who
has been engaged to cooperate with mr.. Raj phi in
sending to HarRer's Weekly exclusive information
and illustration.
During 1895 every vital question will be discuss
ed with vigor and without prejudice in the edi-
torial columns and also in special articles by the
highest authorities in each department. Portraits
of the men and women who are making history
and powerful and caustic political cartoons, will
continue to be characteristic features. This Busy
World with its keen and kindly comment on the
lesser doings of the day, will remain regular de-
partment.
Fiction. There will he two powerful serials,
both handsomely ilustrated-The Red Cockade, a
stirring romance of olden days by Stanley j.
Weyman, and q novel of New York, entitled The
Son of His Father, by Brander Matthews several
novelettes, and many short stories by popular
writers.

Dog Catchers In Brazil.

They have a way of raising the
wind in Rosario both peculiar and
efficacious. Tho fear of q mad dog
is universal, and using this as lever
the municipality has an ordinance
obliging all dogs to wear muzzles in
the street under penalty of 81 per
day. Consequently there is regular
staff of dog catchers, who, with lassC
and truck, travel the streets on the
hunt for prey. The remarkable part
of the proceeding, however, is that
all the vicious little ours and ugly
mongrels which are not worth pick
ing up wander about in perfect safe
ty, while the fine animals, ever
though accompanied by their own
ers, are quickly taken up and i'm
pounded until tho cash is supplied. -

THIRD BATTLE OF MANASSAS
There live in Cedar Run valley two
estimable gentlemen who determined
to 60 into the huckstering business,
one blacksmith and the other a
farmer. They reached Washington at
the time Of the blizzard and therefore
sold out at tremendous profits. They
headed homeward with a big supply Of
family spirits and as the weather was
cold they partook of it generously.
When they reached Bull Run they fail
ed to recognize each other and then,an1
there the third battle of Manassas took
place, in which, unlike the other two,
neither side was victorious. They
agreed to divide and each one took a
horse and jug and as the wagon was
too much for either horse they gave it
to colored lady who helped them to
mount and placed jug comfortably
before them. When they reached
home the farmer had one ear frozen off
and the blacksmith had lost six fingers.
The community, however, is rejoicing
that two valuable lives have been
spared.-W'MrentOn Virginian.

ONLY ONE ARM.-A Wabash, Ind.,
telegram says: GA boy baby was born
to Mr.. aud Mrs. Richard Bartholomew
at Lagro, this county, two days ago,
who had but one arm. The infant is
perfectly formed, with the exception OF
the left arm, which from point i'm
mediately below the elbow is a mere
stump. Another singular thing in con-
nection with the deformity is that on
the end of the stump there are peculiar
marks, resembling scars made by a
knife, and their presence recall that
about 10 years ago Mr.. Bartholomew,
while employed on the Wabash Rail
road, had leg cut of, and the marks
on the child correspond precisely to
the marks left by the surgeons who
amputated the leg of Mr.. Bartholomew.
Whether the scars are birthmark or
whether they are hereditary is not
known, but they are there, and the re-
semblance is pronounced"

MUST PAY THE TAx.-Last year the
Adams, United States and American
express companies, under the Ohio law,
refused to pay the express tax of two
per cent. on their gross receipts in the
State. The State brought suit to com.
pei the companies to pay the tax, and
they filed motion to quash the pro-
ceeding, on the grounds that they were
organized under the law of New York
as partnership, and, not being cor
poralion, were not liable TO the tax.
Judge Pugh, in Columbus, O., on Tues.
day overruled the motion, holding that
the companies have all the power,
privilege and right of corporation,
and are, therefore. amenable 10 the
law. Decisions in other States have
held them to be corporations, and these
were cited by Judge Pugh. The case
will now be heard on its merits.
