Common Errers In speech.

The verb to get is one of our much
misused words; it means to acquire,
win, obtain; and, primarily. it signi-
fies the putting forth of effort to at
tain something. Consequently it is
not only superhuous, but incorrect, to
speak of a man as getting drowned"
or getting Sick" and you may, unfor-
tunately, have cold" but it is inn
possible that you shave a cold.' At
this moment no exceptions occur to
the writer to the rule that got should
never be used in connection with have,
which alone sufficiently expresses pos
session. Say II have the PICTURE % not
~ have got the picture THE dog
has got q broken leg" The irregular
verbs lay and lie are frequently con-
founded. Lay is an active or transit
tive verb, and lie is passive or intransi
tive. We lay things down or have laid
them down; but we and things lie At
rest. You lie down, have lain down,
will lie down or are lying down; she
lay down yesterday and is going to lie
down this afternoon. A frequent error
is to confound the past lenses of these
verbs. One should say: MARY laid
the book on the table. and lay down
HERSELF but the book lies on the Ia

Arrangements.
OF all the minor arts and sciences
none is more delightful in itself or
creation of the home atmosphere; and
although the ability to make home
is q natural endowment of some for
tunate beings. it is not the less . talent
which may .be cultivated. and which
will continually repay the time and
care devoted to its requirement.
Men sometimes elcct.to live together
In bachelor freedom, surrounding
themselves with comforts and luxuries,
having well-trained servants, so that
the household machinery moves with
ont noise or jar, and then fiat
ter themselves that they have
made q new Eden. Perhaps they
have; but it is in the Eden that existed
before Heavens last, best gift was
bestowed up on the world. and ut its
very best is only a lifeless imitation Of
the beautiful reality, since Il lacks the
''womanly atmosphere of home," and
is without its nameless grace, its abid-
ing sweetness, its indefinable but
most potent charm. Yet . houseful of
women can make home in the fullest
sense of all that the dear words in
cludes; indeed, q solitary dweller OF
the gifted sex will succeed in invest
ing her belongings with the permanent
comfort and dainty grace which belong
to the real home atmosphere. There
are houses and there are homes, and it
must be a very Indifferent or very
selfish woman who can not evolve the
latter from the least promising ele-
ments, and take pride in improving it
to the utmost.
The majority of women possess what

-Tennyson would not talk about his
poetry, but once intimated that he re-
garded the lode on the Death of the
Duke of Wellington" as containing
more inspiration than some of the 9TH

pect much of the Charge of THE Light

at it's reception.
Don Marcantonio Colonna, head of
the family, wing is hereditary prince
assistant to the papal sea, performed
cent celebration of the anniversary of
Pope Lco's coronation. Until his

Humbert; he was obliged to give up
all relations with the Italian court on
assuming his hereditary charge.
Prince Bismarck, although an old
man and q man of the world, has not
quite lost his naivete. There is some
thing refreshing bout his statement:
During my diplomatic career tried
to stick to the truth. Now and then I
was obliged to deviate trifle from it,
and that was very painful to the old
man Emperor William L.. He always
blushed, and could not face him, but
would look quickly away" This state
ment throws a clear light on both men.
The successor to the throne of
Siam, Prince Chosvfa Maha Vajiravudh,
who was formally invested as hcir-ap-
parent at the Siamese legation in Lon
don on March 8, is only sixteen years
of age. He is bright, attractive
youth, who is becoming an accom-
plished linguist, and who will return
to his native land a thorough European

popular with his English schoolmates.
Mrs. Isabel c. Barrows, of Boston,
is said to be one of the best woman re-
porters in the world, if not the best.
This distinction is due not only to her
quick wit and ready pen, but to the
fact that she is conversant both as q
writer and speaker with some six or
seven languages. At the time of the
Columbian exposition Mrs. Barrows
was in Greece, but was sent for by one
of the Boston papers to report the do
ings of the parliame Mt of religions, her
linguistic knowledge proving of espe-
cial service in that capacity.

Advice.

There is. probably no other COM
modify that the average man Is more
willing to give to his neighbors, and
more unwilling to receive, than ad-
vice. Advice is very frequently given
in the wrong spirit, and it is proba bly,
more frequently given by those who
have neither the prerogative nor the
ability to give advice that is of real
value. Experience is a good teacher.
and it is necessary for us to expert
ment; nevertheless. we can not afford
to learn everything by experience.
We must be guided by the counsel OF
others who have experimental for us.

WILLIMANTIc. April e3-The First Ma
kional bank OF this city was closed at
10 o'clock yesterday morning by United
States Bank Examiner Doolsy, and Is at
present in his hands undergoing examina-
lion.
A dispatch from Washington states
that the failure is sensational one, ap-
parently involving forgery and other
crimes on the part of It's late cashier, o.
III. X. Rsley, who died within the last
two weeks. 1t is only since his death that
the condition Of tho bank has become
known in the office Of the comptroller Of
the currency
Bank Examiner Dooley of Hartford. in
going through the bank after the death Of
Cashier Risley, discovered
$4,000 Worth Of Forged Paper
and other facts which indicated to him
that the bank had been robbed, and that
tt was in condition to collapse unless 1t
was Immediately put IL better shape.
He came at once to Washington last
Friday, without completing his exami-
nation. regarding the facts he had al
ready discovered as so important that
they must be at once communicated
to Comptroller Eckels. II is understood
that he told the comptroller that all
the facts pointed to the dead cashier as
the person responsible for the banks con-
dition, and connected him directly with
the forged paper found in the bank and
with other forged papers which, it is be-
1ieved,
VIII Bs Found In Other Banks,
and with the borrowing of money from
other banks on the account OF the Will
mantic bank.
Bank Examiner Dooley was not able 70
give an accurate estimate of the total
amount which the bank would lose In one
way or another, but made rough guess
shat 1t would amount TO about $l00, 0OO,
which is just the amount of the capital
stock OF the bank.
Comptroller Eckels sent Examiner
Dooley Immediately back to Willimantic,
with instructions to call the directors to-
gether, present the facts he had discov-
ered, and tell them that unless they at
once put che bank in sound condition he
would have to close it up.
Yesterday morning Comptroller Eckels
received a telegram from Examiner Dooley
stating that the directors would not take
the steps required to save the bank and,
therefore, the comptroller telegraphed him
