Pronunciation of Deaf.

J. W. asks this question: "Is the
pronunciation of deaf as def due to
any other cause than Anglomaniai
Forty years ago, and even less, the
common pronunciation in this country
was 'deef. Webster's Dictionary of
1866 confirms this statement, and men
tions that def is common in England.
The same dictionary refers to the rhymes
Of Chaucer and Watts to show that the
early pronunciation was 'deef' in Eng
land also. 8"
The new English dictionary, edited
by j. A. II. Murray, thus treats of the
pronunciation of deaf Cdef") "The
original diphthong remains in northern
dialects. In standard English the vowel
was long until the modern period, and
so late as FITS, it was rhymed with
relief, by Prior and Watts. The pro-
nunciation t'dif, with 81 long,) is
still widely diffused dialectically, and
in the United States. In many Engli
dialects the ca is still diphthongal,

War Talk.

confess to an innate love Of war;
that martial matters fascinate me; that
! favor spirited foreign policy, and
am jealous in defense Of the majesty
and honor Of the nation. 1t is no timid-
ity that prompts these "reminiscences
and reflections. Yet I believe that in
this age of the world and with our ex-
perience we should remember what war
really is and how unexpectedly it often
comes The cloud rises and passes. Peo-
pie say "the war scare" is over. Yet
they continue to talk war recklessly at
intervals. Months go by, and perhaps
years. Then suddenly the cloud covers
the heavens, and the tempest bursts.
Every Incorporate word, every rash or
unnecessary defiance, has gone to swell
and surcharge the cloud. 1t is the people,
after all, who make war in every coun-
try-or make it possible. And they
make it not SO much by declaration of
the congress or the king as by their
careless or unmeasured utterances in
times Of peace War is sometimes in
evitable, but every citizen has a re-
sponsibility, not simply individual. but
national, to avoid bringing it on by
fiery speech when the issue of force may
honorably be prevented by manly self
restraint. George Parsons Lathrop in

How Long Cut Flowers Last.

The thin stemmed roses are the most
perishable of all flowers. To this class
belong the Bridesmaid (pink), Mermet
livery delicate pink, the Bride (white)
and the Perle yellow. Even with care
they will seldom retain their beauty over
the second day. The Cuisine delicate
pink and Mrs. Pierpont Morgan roses
are more enduring and will often keep
three and even four days. The Ameri-
can Beauty will last three and four days,
but after the second day changes color,
the rich red assuming purplish hue
Violets will often retain an appear
ance of freshness for four and five days.
but after the second day all perfume is
gone. Hyacinths and fresia look we'll for
three or four days, and sometimes even
longer, while mignonette and carnations
can, with little care, be kept for al
most a week. Daffodils have even great
or staying powers and have been known
to look fresh at the advanced age Of
eight and nine days.
Gaslight and furnace heat are poison

as much as possible away from the lat
