Prnner Pronunciation.

In "Words and their Uses,' Mr.,
Richard Grant White discusses the dis
puted question of pronunciation of the
words either and neither. Mr.. White
says:
''The analogically correct pronuncia-
tfon of these words is what we call the
Irish one ayther and nayther. But
ayther and nather being antiquated and
Irish, analogy and the best usage re-
quire the common pronunciation eeth-
er and neither. For the pronuncia-
ton ither and nither, with the long,
which is sometimes heard, there is no
authority, either of analogy or of the
best speakers. 1t is an affectation,
and, in this country, copy of sec
ond rate British atfectation. Persons
of the best education and the highest
social position in England generally
say eether and neither"

Du Maurier,s wit.

A gentleman, himself very witty
man. remarked the other day, in COM
menting upon Du Maurier's drawings
in Punch, that the legends printed be-
low them were more comical than the
drawings themselves. We are now
told that these pungent condensations
cost their author a great deal OF
thought and labor, and the New York
Evening Post advances the view that
they were a preparation for that phe-
nomenal success in novel writing into
which Du Maurier seemed to drop with
a perplexing spontaneity. One of the
firm of Harper & Bros. tells an anec-
dote relating to his connection with
their magazine which is worth repeat
ing. When he was engaged to furnish
the monthly drawings which appear
ed at the end of each number of this
periodical, the proprietors of Punch
wrote him that they understood his
services were theirs exclusively, to
which he returned this brief note:
"Dear -: Man cannot live by
Punch alone. Yours, G. Du NJ, 1t is not
stated how long he was occupied in
concocting this, but it is very clever

Securing an Audience.

The following anecdote concerning
List is given by musical contempor-
ary. In 1888 the composer was making
a tour in France, during which he came
to a provincial town where he was to
give a performance; but, when all was
ready to commence, the audience was
found to consist of seven individuals
only. List, nothing daunted, mounted
the platform with bland smile upon
his face, and, bowling suavely to the
almost empty benches, said:
Ladies and gentlemen, this is mosi
uncomfortable hall; Therefore, if it will
be agreeable to you, ] will have the
piano taken to the hotel where / am
staying, and there, where we shall be
much ait our ease, l will play through
the programme"
The proposal was cheerfully accepted
by the seven guests, who adjourned tc

through the entire programme but af-
forwards pressed his audience to par
take of a slight but recherche supper
that he had ordered for them. The nexi

the waiting room with his prisoner when
the crowd of angry miners entered. They
halted near the door, and the spokesman
a burly, shaggy bearded fellow, politely
informed Drake that they had made up
their minds to take their friend away from
him. If the prisoner was turned over
promptly and without resistance, the Off
Ger would be permitted to depart unin-
jured But if the man was not surrendered
Feacefully-why, the officer would have to
take the consequence. The miners didn't
know Drake. He was stranger to them,
but his prisoner knew him.
Drake told the gang that he had a war
rant for the man, and he was an officer of
the law and would not surrender the pris-
oner. Drake moved into a corner, so as to
have all his assailants squarely in front of
him, determined to stand his ground.
Nearly every man in the crowd drew his
weapon and prepared for a murderous as
sault upon the detective. Drake, as quick
as a flash, drew a big Colt revolver, and,
covering the prisoner, said:
Hold on just minute. You can shoot
me if you want to, but at the drop of the
first hammer I'll put bullet into this
mans brain. You can't shoot too quick
to keep me from doing this. II you Kill
me, I'll kill him. If any of you take a step
in this direction, even, I'll shoot"
The prisoner, trembling like a leaf,
gasped: Hell do it, boys. Don't shoot"
The crowd dispersed, and Drake got on
the car with his prisoner. Drake is about
feet l inch tall, rawboned and strong
muscled. He has brown mustache, dark
hair and gray eyes and is as quiet and as
easy going in his manners as Methodist
parson. There is none of the braggadocio
about him, and he arrests his deSperadoes
with complacent air. He has, in his
moonshine raids, been in the saddle for
four days and nights at stretch in all
kinds of weather and not knowing at what
minute he might be shot from his horse
with winchester. This last job, the ar
rest of the slayers of the brave Byrd will
give Drake additional cause for extra care
in his future mountain trips.

PHONES IN THE SENATE.
An Exchange Is Being Placed In the Cap.
itol Building at Washington.

1CoI at w
The senate is about to set up a telephone
exchange of its own, and before March 1
will have in working order the most in
genious and at the same time the MOST
compact and the handsomest switch board
ever constructed.
Those who are familiar with telephone
appliances hold that the virtue of the serv,
ice lies in the perfection of the switchboard.
and that nothing may be omitted in this
direction the leading electrical experts OF
the country have been called into consulta-
ton as to this particular board, while the
local Bell telephone managers have spent
weeks over the solution of difficulties Incl
dent to the situation. The board itself has
been manufactured by Tiffany out of the
finest mahogany possible to obtain.
AT present only the offices of the senate
will be connected with the board but ulti-
mately the committee rooms will have the
service so that each room will have com
munication not only with every other
room, but also with the long distance sery-
ice of the country.
The result of the new departure will be
decided reduction in the rates charged for
the individual telephones all of which now
are connected directly with the central of
fee, l q miles from the capitol.-New

The Speedy Razorback.

A wild boar hunt was the exciting sport
a number of the young men of South Jack
sonville had looked forward to last week
with a great deal of pleasure. The wild
boar was q razorback hog. He was in
stalled in pen and fed with red pepper,
gunpowder and dynamite and became al
fierce as his reputed cousin of the Black
forest.
On the day of the hunt cavalcade as.
sembled at the meeting place armed with
javelins and spears made of bamboo, with
hunting knives tied to the end.
The wild boar was liberated and trotted
away into the woods. He squealed halt
contented, inquisitive, where s-the-rest- of
my family sort of a squeal with no thought
of the pursuers who spurred and whipped
their horses into furious pursuit.
The wild boar trotted along-just sim.
ply and coolly trotted. He didn't look aa
if he were going, but the gait soon dis.
tanced his pursuers, and they were thus
robbed of the pleasure of ''jabbing" him
full of holes.-Florida Times Union.

How thankless and inconsiderate a
person with little to complain of in the
way of health can be. While visiting
friend who had been shut in for years
with i'll health, lady was so inconsider-
ate as to say: II have been at home a
whole week with neuralgia" little
thinking of the years of suffering her
friend had borne uncomplainingly.
There are many such. Mrs Samuel
Stamm of Longanton, Pa, bore her thir-
ty-fOur years of suffering with courage
and fortltude. Her trouble was rheu-
matism in the knee. in consequence.
her limb had become so stiff that she
could hardly walk. Mr.. Stamm is a
well-to-dO merchant, and had spared no
pains or expense to relieve her, but with
little success, until one night when it
grew so painful that she could hardly
endure it he persuaded her to try
| Chamberlain's Pain Balm. The effect
was magical. The first application re-
| eved the pain, and its continued use
has removed all stiffness and given her
the free use of hr limb once more. If
! you have friends who are troubled with
rheumatism insist on their giving this
remedy trial. You can do them no
/ greater favor, as it is sure to give
prompt relief, and if they are a httle pa
tent it will effect cure. For sale at

The Newest Paris swindle.

-Four young men entered a fashionable
restaurant in Paris the other night, secur-
ed private room and ordered an excellent
meal. After it had been served and eaten
each young man refused to pay for it, de-
claring that he was the guest of the Others
The proprietor was called, and he insisted
that the bill should be paid Finally one
of the young men proposed game of
blindman's buff, with the restaurant man
for the blindfolded individual, the agree
ment being that the diner whom he caught
should pay the bill. The game began,
but the caterer was unable to catch either
of the four clever swindlers. Neither have
the police
