NOVELS AND coNsoNANTs.
1 Close Look Into the Way They Are
Formed and Used.

A. Mcllvillo Bell Of Washington, in
his note on "Syllabio Consonants. read
at the second session of the American
Oriental society in this city, said:
"What is is vowel? What is con-
sonant? WHAT'S syllable?
"a vowel is defined as a nonfriction-
al emission of the voice or of unvocal-
lied breath through an oral channel,
with momentarily fixed configuration.
Vowels therefore run smoothly into one
another by merely altering the shape Of
the oral passage without interrupting 1T.
"A consonant is defined as an inter-
ception of the breath or voice by oral
stoppage, or by emission through side
channels or through narrow chinks.
The change from one consonant to an
other thus involves q motion OF the ar
ticulating organs. producing, with more
or less audibility, puff, flap or a sib-
| iliation.
1.-The two classes of elements meet in
ee, y, 90, W. A syllable is any vocal
| element uttered with single impulse
| of voice All the vocal elements in a
| syllable must be clustered together with
| out admixture with nonvocals, but any
number of nonvooals may precede or
follow the vocal cluster without affect
ing the syllable unity.
"The consonants |, m, n, when they
are final after consonants, frequently
form syllables without vowels, as in
bottle.
1.-The test of good pronunciation is
to give each syllable its own distinct
sound, so that in the most rapid utter
ance the ear can trace the boundaries
of every syllable. But the syllable
sounds must be true to customary pro
nunciation.
1.-THE name consonant, If held to i'm
| ply an element that cannot pro
| nounced without sonant or vowel
would be a misnomer, and its us'
should in that case be discontinued il
scientific neurology. Vowels are tn
soft and plastic substance OF speech
Consonants are the articulations
Joints on which vowels and syllable
turn. Their proper name is, therefore
'articulations. not consonants.
"Phonetic elements make syllaples
Syilables make words. Words are to 0
considered as the syllables OF clauses
; Clauses must be carefully individuals
! ed, for they are the syllables of sentences
Divide your sentences into their logic;
S units or clauses, and indicate With
$ the clauses all their phonetic units
syllables, and you will fulfill the gran
fundamental prccepts of delivery. -

What 1t Is and How the Indians Used To
Make 1t.
When Colur,' us discovered America,
he found the Indians carrying ON trade
from tribe to tribe with wampum. Any
thing that has value may be used as
money. In ancient Syracuse and Britain
tin was used as money, and we find that
iron was so used at one time in Sparta,
pieces of silk in China, cattle in Rome
and Germany, leather among the Car
thaginians, nails in Scotland lead in
Burma, platinum in Russia, cubes of
pressed tea in Tartary, slaves among the
Anglo Saxons, salt i'll Abyssinia, etc.
Wampum is from an Algonquin word
meaning white" The Indians have
ever been fond Of ornaments, particu-
larly of beads. They used to make beads
of seashells in the following way: A
fragment of stone was with much care
worked down" TO the size Of small
nail, having one end quite pointed, and
! it was then fastened TO q piece of cane
or reed With this simple tool tie In
dian workman Clipped off a bit of the
/ inside of conch she'll or q part OF the
shell of hard clam and rubbed it down
to the size desired. This bit Of shell he
held in his hand, placed the sharp end
of the stone against it and then turned
the stone around and around until d
hole was drilled entirely through the
shell.
The shell leads thus tediously manu-
featured were called wampum. These
beads We're either white or of purple
color, the last being valued much higheI
than the first. 1t was the very laboriou
way of making wampum that gave
value The wampum was artlstlcall.
strung upon hempen threads and use'
as necklaces, bracelets and rings. Oftel
it was woven into belts about inche
in width and feet in length.
The wampum belt served many pun
poses It was sent from tribe to trib
with solemn promises and messages,
was used in making peace, i'll asking 10
aid in time of war, for personal adorr
ment and also as circulating med
um." The coast tribe Indians were I'll
wampum makers. The interior lndlal
, spent their time hunting and exchange
, game of all kinds for the wampum mac
by the coast tribes.
For long tine after white Poop
had settled in the new world sma
coins were scarce ard wampum WI
used as "change. Finally the pal
faces" set up lathes Ivy treadles for Il
purpose of making wampum quick
;. and soon the Indian wampum MAKE

KlPlING'S KIND ACT.
A Story About the Famous Author That
Is Not Unpleasant.

Story About the Famous Author A""'
Is Not Unpleasant.
II has become the fashion Of literary
photographers to print whatever stories
of disagreeble nature concerning Rud-
yard Kipling they can hear or ind. In
cidents showing the other side OF the
man-the true side, in fact-are rare,
Int that this wonderful author is not
quite the literary barbarian which he is
SO generally made out to be finds but
stronger evidence in little story which
heard quite recently.
Not long ago an ambitious young
writer composed his first story he was
rather skeptical of its merit, and being
a great reader and admirer OF kipling
work determined to send his literary
firstborn to Kipling for criticism. HIS
friends tried to dissuade him from the
| idea. telling him that he would never
see his story again. But his faith in his
| favorite author was strong. and the
story went to Kiplng week passed
by. and finally nearly a month had
| elapsed. The young writer suffered Keen
| w from the ridicule of his friends IN the
meantime, and, truth to tell, his faith
began to waver During the fifth week,
however, letter came postmarked
"Brattleboro, VT" and the young
writer opened it with feverish haste.
There was his manuscript, true
enough, but scarcely could he recognize
it Kipling had evidently put days OF
work upon it, making corrections, sug'
gestions and interlineations until the
story contained more of Kipling than OF
its original author. With the manu-
script came letter, in which klpline
said that he was not in the habit o.
doing this sort of thing, because it tool
so much time. But in this case he saw
a good chance to make IS for particu
lar fresh air fund in which he was IN
terested, and if Mr.. - thought tn
work he had put on this manuscript wa
worth that sum he would be glad to re
ceiye it for his fund and would send
receipted bill
