that nature gave me-" Yes, you who
can say that, and say it honestly, think
of how much you owe to nature, the
giver of manhood. Yet not many can
say it. There are too many pitfalls,
too many temptations, in the path of
young men, and too many of them
fall.

The difficulties of the photographer
desiring the inclusion Of nautical terms
in his list are not little increased by
the sailors love Of contractions or his
perverslties Of pronunciation, Let me
cite few examples. The word "tree-
rail," for instance-a wooden spike-in
Jacks mouth becomes "trunnel." ITO
reach" is to sail along close hauled, but
the sailor calls It "ratch." "Gunwale"
as everybody knows, is "gunnel," and
so spelled by the old marine writer's.
"Crossjack," a sail that sets upon a
yard called the "crossjack yard, on the
mizzenmast, is pronounced "croJjeck."
The strap" of block is always termed
"strop;" Streak" a single range Of
planks running from one end Of the
ship or boat to that of the other ia
"strake" Ito serve"-that is, to wind
small stuff, such as spun yarn, round a
rope-ls ITO sarve." The numerous
contractions, however, are pre-emi-
nently illustrativeof the two distinctive
qualities Of the English sailor, nimble-
ness and alertness. Everything must
BIO done quicklyat sea. There isno time
for sesquipedalianism. II there be a
long word, 1t must be shortened some
how. To spring, to jump, to leap, to
tumble, to keep his eyes skinned, to
hammer his fingers into fishhooks-
these are the things required Of Jack.
He dances, he sings, he drinks, he is in
all senses lively, hearty, but underly-
ing his intellectual and physical caper
cutting is deep perception Of the sea as
mighty force, a remorseless foe. The
matter seems trihing, yet the national
character is in it.-Contemporary Re-
view.

THE TAAL..

Language Spoken by the Boor OF To-
d.y-A shrunken Vocabulary.
I language spoken by the Boer of
to-day is called "the Taal," says the
Fortnightly Review. 1t is not French,
nor is 1t Dutch, nor is it even in the
usual acceptation of the word dia-
lect Of Dutch, but 1t is broken form
of speech based on that language. 1t
is used at the present day all over
South Africa by the Beers and half
castles as their only speech; 1t is found
In its greatest purity in the Free State,
Transvaal and frontier districts, where
1t has been least exposed to scholastic
and foreign influences during the last
few years. To analyze fully this tinv
but interesting variety Of speech would
take us far beyond our limits. It diff
fers from the Dutch of the Hollander
not as archaic forms Of speech in
Europe often differ from the literary,
as the Italian Of the Ligurian peasant
from that Of the Florentine, or the
Somersetshire or Yorkshire dialects
from the language of the London
newspapers; these archaic European
dialects not only often represent the
earlier form Of the language, but are
often richer in varied idioms and in
the power Of expressing subtle and
complex thoughts than are their allied
literary forms. The relation of the
Taal to Dutch is Of quite different
kind. The Dutch of Holland is as high
ly developed language and as volumi-
nous and capable of expressing the
finest scintillation Of thought as any
in Europe. The vocabulary of the Taal
has shrunk to few hundred words,
which have been shorn Of almost all
their infections and have been other
wise clipped. The plurals, which in
Dutch are formed in various and COM
pick ways, the Taal forms by an al
most universal addition of an re-" and
the verbs, which in Dutch are as fully
and expressively corrugated as in Eng
lish or German, in the Taal drop all
persons but the third person singular.
Thus, the verb ito be-" instead of be-
ing corrugated, as in the Dutch of
Holland and in analogy with all civil
lied European languages, thus runs: TX
Is, Je is. Hij is, Ons is, Yulle is, Hulle
is, which would answer in English to
II is," thou is" che u.s. "us is" you
is," "they Is"

pushing and extending their money
order business in direct competition

their orders at par, which is unreason-
able and unjust; therefore, be 1T
Resolved, That it is the sense OF
this convention that the bankers, by
united action in their respective
towns, shall discourage the use. Of

FARoo's DIVORCE INDUSTRY.
II Pays tho Town About Quarter of n
Million Dollnra Annually.


Million Dollars Annually.
North Dakota has gained consider
able notoriety through the east for the
ease with which divorces are secured
within its borders, says the Minneap-
oils Journal Fargo has more fame in
this direction than any other town, for
various reasons 1t is most easily
reached and affords the pleasure-loving
contingent greater opportunities than
any city In the state, except Grand
Forks. Its hotels are new and up to
date and there are numerous private
boarding house that cater especially to
those who are here to end their marital
troubles. The modus operandi Is
simple. In nine cases out Of ten the
defendant in the suit is as willing that
a decree should be secured as the plain
tiff and aids In every possible way by
accepting service and employing local
legal light to look after his interests.
In such cases the decree is often Sc
cured within ten days after the ninety
day probation has expired. In fact, 1t
has sometimes occurred that the d.
vorce was granted within ninety-one
days after the applicant arrived in
Fargo. In these cases, of course, per-
scnal service was secured and there
was no contest In the way Of alimony.
In cases of desertion or In others, where
the residence Of the defendant lie un-
known, six weeks additional Ia re-
quired for the publication Of summons,
The attorneys fee varies from $50 to
any higher amount with the trouble
necessary to secure the decree and the
ability Of the plaintiff to pay. The coll
ony includes people In all walks Of
life, Even laboring men come to Fargo
and work while establishing their resi-
dence. These are the exception, how
ever. The seekers after single blessed
ness are, as a rule, well supplied with
funds and able to pay literally for what
they get. Some distinguished people
have been temporary residents Of the
state and are men and women in all
walks Of life, and titled foreigners are
not an exception, Another noticeable
feature is the haste with which some Of
the plaintiffs again rush headlong into
matrimony after having been granted
a divorce One case is on record where
trip was made directly from the judges
chambers to the license room and re-
turn and the second marriage per-
formed by the kindly court in fifteen
minutes after the decree had been
granted and before the ink used in
signing the divorce papers had time to
dry Indeed, the majority marry again
within six months after being divorced.
All kinds of schemes are worked to
avoid publicity. Members Of the colony
often live here under assumed names
and do everything possible to keep cor
respondents Of eastern papers from
learning their history. To deceive their
friends the contingent sometimes rents
boxes in the Moorhead postoffice, across
the river in Minnesota, so eastern
friends won't know what they are do
ing out west.

Tobacco in America.

Jaricaturists in depicting a German

in his mouth. The pipe is national,
indeed, but the Germans as nation
are far from being the greatest smok-

Frenchmen, Russians, Swedes or Hun
garians. The men Of the United States
and the men Of Switzerland are the
most inveterate smokers in the world
