The Verb "TO Get"

M. Duhamcl, nj meeting OF the Societe
Rationale des Professors dc Francois en-
Angleterre, related in an amusing manner
his Impressions of England and the Eng
fish people. To illustrate the difficulty
encountered by his countrymen in getting
thorough grasp of the English language
NJ Duhamel referred to the comprehensive
use of the verb ito GET" which he sup
posed was due to the English habit of
getting on" In the following sentences
no less than nine different French verbs
are used, whereas in English they can all
be rendered by the verb "to GET"
"Aprcs avoir flame toute la journee, ia
tigue, je rentrai chez moi, ct apres avoir
soupe, je me mis- au lit on je ne tardai pas
q m endormir. Apres une bonnie mutt de
repos lie lendemain matin je meveillai
frais ct dispos, mis- mes habits ct bientot
apres recus un telegramme. ~
This M. Duhamcl said would or could
be thus expressed in English:
"Having got tired with knocking about
all day l got home, got my supper got to
bed and soon got to sleep After q good
nights rest | got up refreshed, got my
clothes on and shortly after breakfast got
q telegram.
Is it any wonder that foreigners find the
English language u perpetual puzzle?--

Capturing Elephants.

The enterprise is organized for the
amusement of the maharijah, and takes
place only once in about four years, else
the forest would be denuded of the big
game. A small army, consisting of about
5000 men and perhaps elephants and
q few horses, takes part in the hunt, and
tents and provisions are carried Just as
if u campaign against powerful enemy
were i'm progress. When the pad marks of
an elephant are found he is steadily tracked
down, and as soon as he is found trained
fighter of his own species is urged against
him.
AS rule he steadily retreats upon sight
Of his pursuers, and their object is to press
him so as TO tire him out. He then stands
at bay, and the tug Of war commences
The opposing animals butt at one another
with the heads down, and should one show
his flank he is quickly brought to earth.
When finally conquered, the wild elephant
Is pressed by his pursuers toward water, of
which he is SO much In need after his ex-
ertions that his hind legs can be shaokled
as he drinks. He is then kept attached by
ropes to other elephants until he gradually
gets accustomed to bondage, and in few
months he is completely under control
The sport is bloodless one, and the ele-
plants when captured are most kindly

japanese Dances.

The form of amusement of dramatic
nature that most interests the traveller in
Japan is the gcysha dance, also the ka-
gura, or common religious dance, and the
adzuma-mai, Il religious dance performed
in the ancient Shimo-Gamo Shinto temple
near kyotO. These dances are not particu-
larly amusing TO witness, though all sights
of the kind are more or less amusing
when witnessed for the first time. The
best geysha dancing takes place in Kyoto,
the next best in Tokyo, but so called gey-
sha dances may be seen in several of the
large towns.
Almost moro interesting to see, how
ever are the religious dances. In the
kagura, for instance, the dancer usually
wears loose white chcmise garment, q
pair of tapping trousers, generally Of a
bright red color and long, transparent
covering formed like cloak and orna-
mented with designs resembling crests
Her hair hangs down her back in single
tress, flowers adorn her forehead, and her
face is besincared with white compound
said to consist chiefly of white lead In
her hand she holds bunch OF small bells
that is not unlike child's toy. This she
shakes at intervals during the dance
Sometimes several girls dance at one time
but in every case their movements are ac-
companed by mournful, sacred chant
and by tune played upon "A drum and
flute by priests. 1t is wrong TO suppose,
however, as many Europeans who have
visited Japan do suppose, that the mika-
koodori dance is indecent. About the gen
uine geysha dance there is nothing even
indicate or suggestive. Sketch

The Triumph of a Cause.

The verdict of Maine is even more
emphatic than that of Vermont, and
more significant, for in Maine there
has been for years populist element
worth counting that comes down from
the days when the greenbackers held
the balance of power and in fusion
with the democrats were able to elect a
governor. In Vermont, on the con-
trary, the populists have been 80 few
and far between that they have not
been " orth considering in forecasting
results. In Vermont the lines are al
ways clearly drawn, and a Vermonter
is seldom in " the middle of the road"
The democrats of Maine have been
buoyed up by the hope that never
comes to the Vermont democrat even
in dreams. 1t was natural to expect
that this year the regular" demo-
Gratis would make the great fight of
their lives. In Maine alone among
the New England states is there free.
silver sentiment visible to the naked
eye.
With this to build on, with the dem
ocratic candidate for vice-president a
citizen of Maine, it was a reasonable
conclusion that the Maine free silver
ties would present a front that would
be at least impressive. AS it is, they
appear to have thrown only a few
thousand votes more than Mr.. johnson
received in 1894, when the bulk of the
democrats took to the woods. Assum-
ing that the republican plurality is in
round numbers fifty thousand, it breaks
all Maine records, for the greatest
heretofore was that of Governor
Cleaves in 1894, 1878: Though many
will say to-day that they had long fore
seen the result, yet few expected in
reality any such plurality as has been
rolled up for Mr.. Powers. That gen.
tleman himself said about ten days ago
that he estimated the republican pu.
rality in Aroostook at 1900. Yester.
day Aroostook gave him fully 1000
plurality.
Aroostook's action is of peculiar sig
nificance for the reason that it is 6
great farming section, and the farmers
last year having raised more potatoes
than they could sell, were reckoneC
upon by the free-silverites to vote fol-
the fiflY-three-cent dollar. The New
England farmer has had hard expert
ences OF recent years, but he has hare
mead and you cannot persuade him thai

to cut it in halves. The other agricul
tural counties in Maine went the same
way. Indeed the republicans sweep
every county, and not a single demo
cratic candidate for county Office hat
been chosen. Neither will the democrats
have a senator, the senate being re-
publican throughout. There are 14l
members of the Maine house of repre-
sentatives and the democrats have

SOLDIERS BUDGET.
Stannard at Gettysburg.
BY j. O. BRENNAN, FAIRLER, VT.

Sons of the Green Hirsl list to the story
Your sires writ down in letters OF flame,
When, on the field of Gettysburg CORY,
They won for themselves deathless fame
Fronting her was our army lying;
Two days long had we held the ground
The cannonade with the thunder wing
TIL men grew deaf with the awful sound
For on the field was to be decided
Whether this nation should live or die,
Whether this land should be divided
BY the lightnings that rent the Union sky.
Louder and louder the cannon sounded,
Faster and faster the death-hail fell;
Shells burst DER us, and round shot pounded,
And over It all rose the rebel yell.
For now at length from the rebel forces
Was launched bolt to decide our fate,
Plcketts column, DER manged corses,
Charging onward in deadliest hate.
Never yet on field Of battle
Was Drawer sight than was seen that day,
When, midst the helllsh roar and rattle.
Charged on our lines those men In gray.
Onward they came not man of them faltered,
To whore, under stannard, we stood opposed,
When, without warning, their course they altered
Leaving their flank to our fire exposed
Could we swing to the left and strike ther
squarely2
Then indeed were the victory won;
IT'S thing in battle done but rarely,
IT'S desperate thing. but 1t must be done.
From Stannard's lips, with quick decision,
The order flashed through the whole brigade
And we changed our front with as much precision
AS If in camp upon dress parade.
Then like lightning the order, Fire"
Ran the length of the foremost ranks;
And at the word destruction dire
Leaped from our rihes into their TANKS.
Another volley, and then another,
Flashed our rifles again and again.
While in their 'front.' through the din and pother,
We heard the rifles of Hancock's men.
Brave they WERE never men were Drawer;
Nobly they bore the battles brunt
But the men FER lived who would not waver
With murderous fire in flank and front.
Backward they fell DER the plain, defeated;
The North saved from invasion's shame;
And, wherever the tale shall be repeated,
Let honor be paid to STANDARDS name.
Sons of the Greeu Hills cherish the story
Your sires writ down In letters of flame,
When, on the field of Gettysburg CORY,
They won for themselves deathless fame

campaign, outside of Maine, but he is
probably preparing some speeches that
will both amuse and instruct. Reed
never made speeches in the wholesale

he was never known to speak without

server in the country who does not en-
ticipate republican victory in this cleo

cratic populist leaders to declare to the

Every day the country has fresh proofs

able to make speeches every day, and
often many times day, without COM
hitting one blunder, without uttering a
single platitude, and without repeating
himself in the essence of what he has
to say; because he is, in the first
place, man of immense intellectual
capacity, and in the second place, has
been, during all his mature life, close
and eager student of all departments of
the great science of civil legislation and
administration"
