The Hussey Life Ran Is composed OF
hollow boxes, in which are placed and

depth, ana is securely fastened by iron
bolts going through the two hoxes as well
as the cork between thecn. IL is then set
up tight with nnts and washers on the

making each section solid and complete.
The raft consists OF two sections firmly
hinged together, which can be used singly

are disposed TO complain at the friendly
criticism in this or any instance Our
disposition is to like criticism and cor
rection IN preference 10 praise. They are
quite as apt 10 be sincere and are, more
often than not, more useful and profit
able. We accept reprimand and eXcep-
tion gladly anything, from having our
attention called 20 grammatical slip 10
the bringing OF libel suit
And yet these pominatiycs ana objec-
tives are bothersome things, We repeat.
Especially those cases OF the rronouns, 1t
is very easy to say that "ss them' is in
correct. that the "sre' should he borne
in mind, and that "as they is, accord
ingly, the only permissible syntnX. We
frequently feel like eonsgning syntaN 10
the underneath regions Still, we sup
pose, it is a necessary nuisance. And
those pronouns-well greater fellows
than we may ever hope to be have slipped
up on them. JONI Milton wrote:
"Belisl came last, tnan whom a.
spirit more lewd
Fell not from Heayen!"
Just look at that whom. How snugly
and sticky it fits in there-just as il it
belonged there instead OF "wbo." And
yet it has even less right there than did
our "them" after that "ss." We may,
at least, with john MILTON, De pardoned
the "them" by reason of omitting the
verb OF which it may nave been the sub
ject-snd which our critical correspond
ent insists should be ever borne in mind
even il it does not appear in print. But
who could ask for better English than is
to be found in paradise Lost"?
And as to all this, here is an almost
parallel example. Which expression is
correct: "He is stronger than /, or she
is stronger than me'?
Unquestiopably, according to the strict
letter OF the law OF grammar, the former
is correct-just as she is as strong as 4"
is, you would say, correct instead of she
is as strong as me-" And yet, in both
these phrases, there is excellent warrant
for the ''me''-"he is stronger than me"
she is a. strong as me-" The grammar
school teachers would probably admit it,
though they wouldn't care to have their
pupils get wind of it. 1t is very good
grammar is stronger than mel
she is as strong as me" though we won't
pretend to claim that she is stronger than
them" or "ne is as strong as them,n
is quite SO pardonable.
Why, bless US, there 10 excellent author
