Fads In PrOnunclnt ton.
From the Critic.

From the Critic.
1t Is possibly too late to cure the afreo-
tation Of giving Teutonic twist to the pro-
nunciation Of those good old Saxon words
either and neither in whose original there
was no suspicion Of an T. for fashion seems
to have decreed. Notwithstanding the op-
position of the photographers, that they
shall be i-ther and ni-ther, and SO they win
probably continue to be with those who as
pire to keep pace with the popular whirl,
until the turn Of the wheel shall bring the
correct form on top again. That oft-moot-
ed question may then be considered out of
court for the present.
But there are two other words that seem
to be going the same road, and alike in op-
position to all authority, concerning which
I wish to make few remarks. l mean
the words evil and devil, which have q
close relation to each other in more ways
than one. Many Of our clergymen have
adopted for these words the pronunciation
of evil and devil, and am sorry you say
that devil has 30 got the upper hand that
the evil Is on the increase until what was
in the beginning only clerical affectation
now bids fair. like i-ther and ni-ther, to
assume the proportions Of a popular fash
ion. Time was when the stage virtually
set the standard in the pronunciation Of
the language, but in these latter days Of
dramatic degeneracy, when slipshod En-
gltsh and imperfect enunciation seems to
be the rule behind the footlights. the pull
pit exerts an equal If not greater infiu-
ence. 1t behooves every clergyman, then
to look carefully to his rhetorical ways
lest he teach orthoepic heterodoxy while
preaching the soundest Of theological or
thodoxy. Now, the words in question have
been pronounced ever since the English
language came into teing simply evil and
dev-i with the accent on the first syllable,
and no amount Of mispronunciation can
make the one any worse or add any terrors
to the other. II our clersymen will only
bear in mind that 1.-The evil that men do
lives after them." they will look more care
fully in future to their orthoepy and hesi-
tate ere they try to improve on the good
old-fashioned devil of our fathers.

reached the junction Of Bobadilla, where
We turned eastward toward Granada. The

An Apple Night CAP.
From tho Bulletin Of Pharmacy.

From the Bulletin Of Pharmacy
In August summer apples viii have rip
ened, and everybody ought to know that
the very best thing he can do is to eat
apples just before retiring for the night
Persons uninitiated in the mysteries Of the
fruit are liable to throw up their
hands in horror at the visions Of dyspepsia
which such a suggestion may summon up,
but no harm can come even to a delicate
system by the eating Of ripe and Juicy
apples just before going to bed. The apple
Is excellent brain food, because 1t has more
phosphoric acid in easily digested shape
than other fruits. 1t excites the action of
the liver. promotes sound and healthy
sleep and thoroughly disinfects the mouth.
This is not all. The apple helps the kid
ney secretions and prevents calculous
growths. while 1T obviates indigestion and
Is one Of the best known preventiyes of
diseases Of the throat. One Of the best
known of the older physicians of Provt-
dence has the custom of eating one, two,
three or four apples before going to bed.
and finds himself much benefited thereby.

A Line of Freight Steamers.
In no very remote future it may be ex-
pected that semi-monthly line of freight
steamers will carry from Hilo bananas to
San Francisco, as well as coffee and sugar.
and make a very paying business Of it. A
wharf Is now ordered for construction oil
the inner hight of Hilo bay, where ships
can lie alongside. A railway of one and a
half miles will connect wharf and town. This
railway will be gradually extended so as to
take in all the plantations along sixty miles
of coast northward. where landings are
difficult. This is destined soon to render
Hilo an important port. supporting Its own
line Of steamers direct to San Francisco.
Give us annexation as soon your re-
publican Congress and administration settle
down to business in 1897. and we will at
once have many hundreds of magnificent
fifty and hundred-acre coffee and banana
farms ready for your enterpriSing people.
That will be only a small installment Of
what will follow. We can find room in

After so much talk about bananas. I
cannot refrain from denouncng the ex-
travagance Of Humboldts constantly quot
ed and preposterous statement that an
acre of bananas will produce fifty times
as much nutriment as an acre of wheat or
potatoes. Humboldt probably saw a few
mills OF bananas IN some exceptionally rich
plot with abundance of moisture, and in
that stage of growth when punches are
turned out In rapid succession. He neglect
ed to allow for the great exhaustion Of the
soil, and need of subsequent resting Of the
land. as well as for the year or more of
growth before fruit appears From my own
experience with bananas, question
whether 1t Is very much more productive
OF nutriment than the esculent roots like
taro. vans and sweet potatoes, which form
the chief food of Polynesians. In a flood

From the American.
queer custom was observed for the
two hundred and fiftieth time at Leighton
Buzzard this year in accordance with the
will OF a London merchant, who founded
ten almshouses in the town. The trustees,
accompanied by the town crier and a band
OF boys carrying green boughs. beat the
boundaries Of the parish. stopping at tho
properties from whose incomes the chari-
ties are supported. At all these places one
boy stood on his head while the will was
read. After the procession, plum rolls were
given to the boys. Until recently a half
pint OF beer was given, but this has been
suppressed, rolls being distributed to all
the school children instead. In the evening
the trustees the town crier and the ina
mates Of the almshouses dined together.
