White linen sofa cushions give a
wonderful touch Of daintiness to the
subsummer cottage parlor They are,
above all, suitable-the right thing in
the right place, as they admit of laun-

worked solidly in wash silks, like vio-

most all have deep hemstitched borders.

The Fashionable Belt,

Wearers of the fashionable belt should
remember this: A slender waist can
wear anything about it. One that is
not trim and small needs either tight
ish belt or none. A ribbon about it &C.
centuates its size, and should never be
donned unless decidedly drawn to give
belted in appearance.

COURTEOUS siiNTS
They Are as Forcibie as Other Eir&s-A
Case in Point.

Perhaps there is no greater strain
upon "neighborly feeling" than living
next door 10 a poultry yard whose in
mates are allowed 20 making
exercise ground OF the adjacent flower
and vegetable gardens. A san Diego
young lady who was ubject TO this an
noyarce politely asked her neighbcrs,
says Youths Companion, 10 keep his
pets at home. Sh,- asked it several
times, and still no attention was paid
TO her grievance Finally she hit up
on an ingenious method OF protecting
herself.
She prepared grains Of corn by tying
to them. with strong carpet thread,
small cards bearing thewords: Please
keep your chickens NJ home." and dis
tributed the grains about her flower
bees.
The chickens came to feast as usual.
a. ! greedily swallowed the corn, not
perceiTing the thread until the card
was against their jaws. Then they
could neither swallow the card nor rid
themselves of the swallowed corn.
Twenty or thirty of the marauders
ran home. bearing the polite request to
their culpable owner, who, struck with
the method of the hint, promptly cut
the threads and cooPed up the birds.
This was forcible, but a delicate hint
upon like offense was conveyed from
one aggrveved relative TO another
where stronger measures would have
been out of place.
The suffering victim Of hens was
taken i'll, end the perhaps unconscious
offender slew his choicest birds and
sent TO the invalid. The invalid feast
ed thereon, and sent back a message
of thanks TO the effect that the fowl
was delicious, ana tasted of her vio-
lets!

LEARNING SPANISH.
Hexfcsn Newspapers Criticism of Text
Books In General.

Books In General
AnAmerican journal advises the more
general study of the Spanish language
In the United States, on the ground OF
commercial utility. We believe that in
San Francisco and Kansas City and in d
few other places instruction is given
N Spanish, but it is likely that it does
not go very far and is not entirely prac-
.ical, for most language teachers in the
United States are either tiresome ped
ants or charlatans who sadly waste the
time of their pupils; and the makers
of instruction books in the modern
language almost always omit what is
colloQuial and therefore useful. and
give mass OF bookish words and "ele-
CANT" constructions, with the apparent
idea that only dilettantes and future
poets are TO be educated
We have before US some Spanish
granmarc and correspondence books
which, while filed TO repletion with
impracticsble Instructions, and always
insisting On elegant" constructions
and usages, are disfigured by awkward
explanations, and offer the most as
founding grammatical blun6ers in
their examples Most authors OF text
books arc gambling asses who copy
from all previous ones, and the result
is that lot of ill-digested gramnars
and new methods" are imposed on the
credulous public. One much-adSertised
grammar for English learners OF Span
Ish we submitted to a most scholarly
gentleman of this city, who noted over
thousand grammatical errors and
threw down the book in despair. A
manual of Spanish correspondence
Which has an extensive sale is so
crammed with faults of grammar that
it is no more useful than the English
IS She Is Spoke" was TO the Portuguese
students for whom it was prepared.
A very popular Spanish grammar of
wide sale both in England and the
United States was, in its earlier edi-
tons, so blunderingly written that it
might properly have been entitled "a
Method for Inducing the Learner Into
Sailors Spanish. with Unexampled Fa-
cilities for Making Fool of the Stu
dent"
The American paper that we have
mentioned asserts that Spanish is not
only child of the Latin, but that it's
construction is Latin. Spanish has

been greatly inhuGnced and modified
by the Arabic and by the language of
the Teutonic conquerors of Spain;
vast number of everyday words in use

ton, although far more flexible than
the English, resembles more that tongue
than the inverted Latin construction.

tion CT One of Them
Some time ago the English govern
mont experimental with a 13-inch
gun on ship of the Royal Sover-
e-sn class. At the first firing of the
gun the entire upper deck was lifted
from its position and sprung along its
entire center, so great was the shock
The United States ,)attleship Indiana
hes been specially equipped to provide
against any such disaster and her
decks have been constructed in such a
msnner that naval experts agree that
No such damage can befall her when
the l3-inch guns send out their flaming
Grssage.
Naval experts are agreed, however,
s1ys the Philadelphia Times. that
when she is N action and the four 49,
inch guns are performing their deadly
work the explosions viii shatter every
PiHce of woodwork and glass in every
portion of the vessel. That is expected
md prepared for, and for that reason
the battleship Indiana is composed al
most entirely of iron and steel. She
has been aptly described as an enoT-
nous floating steel fort with a ship
built around it for purposes of navigs-
ton. Fully one-haIf of her could lie
shot away and she would still float and
retain her unequaled fighting power.
These facts and figures should bring
us to realization of what a serioes
thing war is in these modern times.
