No Kentuciian. Whatever His Color, Il

No American writer has made closer
study Of the various negro dialects of
the south than Opie Read, but an ex-
animation of his darby characters shows
that their language is widely at vari-
ance with that employed by writers of
negro dialecs III the past Uncle Tom g
Cabin" was responsible for many errors
of darby pronunciation. For instance
the word "massa," used ~ Mrs. Stove
so frequently in her novel, never was
used anywhere else.
Mr.. Read has studied the subject so
thoroughly that he prides himself on his
ability to tell the state from which a
negro comes by certain peculiarities of
his speech. Over in Detroit awhile ago
he was introduced to a prominent col
ored citizen. After few minutes con-
versation Mr. Read suddenly asked,
How long ago did you leave Ken
tucky?''
The Detroit man, however, for some
reason, preferred to give out the impress
sion that he was northern man. l
never-r did live in Kentucky, sir-r, he
said, with peculiar roll to the r"
such as no southern negro ever uses
The novelist deftly turned the CONVEX
sation into another channel for mo-
ment and then confidentially asked,
Won't you have something to drink"
The negro's sternness instantly re
Taxed as he eagerly blurted out. ''Yas

Cropping Them Prevents the Animals
From Hearing Wen.
Any one who has heard the mega
phone must have wondered at the ex-
traordinary power of increasing sound
that is produced by form, and would
like TO call attention to one point in
connection with cutting dogs ears that
l do not remember to have seen men
toned anywhere = that is, from an
acoustic standpoint:
have lately purchased a small York
shire terrier, imported from England
only a few months ago. Its ears were
clipped in England after what the seller
of the dog declared to be "the very lat
est style"
The ears were first clipped and then
stiffened mp with three effects on the
dog:
First. That the buzz Of bee or fly
causes him to retreat under cover of
safety.
Second. That she ducks his head
when about to be patted, sure sign of
the length of time the pain of the oper-
alton must have lasted.
Third.-(An effect had not expect
ed.) That he has absolutely no idea Of
the direction Of sound.
In the ears of mastiff dog any one
who observes the shell-li form of the
ear opening may easily imagine the i'm
mense power of such trumpetlike in.
strument to increase the volume Of
sound. A change in the acoustical ar
rangement of the flap Of the ear would
necessarily entirely puzzle and bewilder
the owner as to the direction of sound,
and this one pointun ear cutting would
seem of itself to condemn the practice.

resembled closely those Of the suicide in
the drama.
Attempts have been made TO prove that
climate has an effect upon the rate OF sui
eide, hut these attempts have never done
more than show that the temperate regions
have the highest ratio. This, of course, is
not due to the climate, hut 20 the moro
complicated civilization, the greater physi-
cal and mental wear and the more exten-
sye interference with natural laws met
with in the temperate regions. While 10
is true that climate cXerts but little inilu-
ence over the rate of suicide, the seasons,
on the contrary, do strongly affect IL. The
popular belief Is that suicide is more fire.
quent during the months Of winter and
spring. This, however, Is incorrect. Cold,
wet, damp weather does not as so many
people suppose, promote dependency and
suicide. Strange as IL may seem, at that
period of the year when the suffcrings of
the poor and the sick are least, when en-
ployment IS most readily obtained, when
the pleasure OF living should be at its
highest, suicide Is most frequent. May,
June and July, the months of song and
sunshine in all countries, give the greatest
number of self murders. For this there is
no satisfactory explanation, unless we ac-
cept that of the medical fraternity, which
Is that during the period Of early summer
tho organism is working at a higher ton
sion. every function of mind and body Is
more active than at any other period Of
the year, and consequently there is greater
liability TO sudden physical and mental
collapse. Popular Science Monthly.

The past week at this resort was
very busy one, there were two large
excursions here, and several smaller
ones. Some days there were as many as
four different excursion parties on the
grounds.
There win probably not be so many
large excursions here the coming week
as last. but there will be quite a few
smaller ones. There are one or two
moonlights booked here for the coming
week. and taking all in all. the week
Will be well filed.
AS usual. Sunday will be a busy day.
As last Sunday was stormy in the
early part of the day il stopped a good
many from going TO any of the shore
resorts and If the weather is clear to-
morrow IL will make up for all the loss
of last Sunday.
Manager Harrington, always ready
to make everything pleasant for the
visitors of this place. has made a spec
ial program for Sunday, which viii be
both varied and entertaining.
The bake will be opened at noontime
and ii is needless To say the spacious
dining halls will be we'll filled all day
with those who want TO wrestle with
the Rhode Island CLAIMS. There will be
many extra "hxins" served with the
dinner, which Will. no doubt, be one of
the finest served anywhere along the
dUNcll Day.
The usual ball game here on Sunday
will attract many base ball enthusiasts
The attractions for the coming week
VIII be doubled. The Forest Casino will
have an exceedingly strong bill. There
will be few new stars here but manS
OF those who were here the past week
will be retained, but will be seen in
entirely new parts and acts.
Beginning Monday evening Pawnee
Bits famous wild west show Will give
exhibitions every afternoon and even
ing on the base ball grounds. Manager
Harrington has been under great ex-
pense to secure this attraction for the
coming week and il is needless TO say
that everyone will go and see real
Western life portrayed as IL actually
was in the earlier frontier days. The
evening performance will be at s and
the afternoon at 2:S0.
The Rhode Island Labor Day commit
tee are very busy perfecting their ar
rangements with Manager Harrington
for the grand excursion here on Labor
Day. A fine list OF games is being pre-
pared. All the labor organizations in
the STATE will be here.

Strangers often wonder when they are
sailing down the bay why so many peo-
pie on the boats stop at Fields Point
There are no amusements there to
speak of and nothing can be seen that
would be likely to draw a crowd. But
those who have stopped here once and
partaken OF one of Col. Atwells famous
shore dinners can easily answer this
question.
One OF the finest dinners served along
Narragansett bay can be obtained here.
Col. Atwell has a regular dinner which
is served from 1880 a. m, 10 p. m He
also serves a special bake which is
opened at p. m.
Tomorrow as usual. there Will be
many who will come here for the dim
ner and special arrangements will be
made to accommodate the large num-
ber.
