To tha Editor. Referring 20 the notes

syntax OF the verb viii you allow a school

Johns Green's and others ia IA
por OF the weiI-recognized usage
as follows: when two or more
nouns represent one idea, the verb Is
singular Thus in Aiiltons "LyciGas" We
find: Bitter eonstraint and sad occa-
sion dear compels me to disturb your sea
son due" and in shakespeare's Ten-
pest" verse Ies we read: "An torment.
trouble wonder and amaxement tnhabits
there" In this case we may look upon
the statement as equal 20 a condition
which embraces al torment" etc. See

To the Editor: There is not a stanza Of
Rudyard kIpling's noble poem 'Reces-

lines which have been so much discussed
In your columns recently seem 10 have

the Old Testaments One Of these is Amos
ia Moab shall die with tumuit, with

To the Editor: II is to the writer mat
ter OK marvel that any one acquainted
with standard grammarians. or. better
still. with English literature should either
question the correctness or fail 10 per-
ceive the beauty Of Mr.. kipling's use Of
the singular verb after the two nouns In
the first line of the second sganza of his
noble occasional. There are three incon-
trovertible facts that should forever set
tie the matter in the minds Of any who
are in doubt:
FIrst-It is a canon OF English gram
mar that when two or more singular
nouns can and naturally do suggest one
essential thing or thought such conioined
nouns permit, If they do not absolutely re-
quIre, the singular verb.
Secoud-it is a canon OF grammar that
the writer rather than the reader decides
whether in a united or In a separate sense
such con1oined nouns are TO be taken.
Third (and most importantl-The mas
tiers Of our literature have again and

guIar verb with conjoined nouns, the ef-
feet often being most striking and

former from Shakespeare, the latter from
Milton; .sWooing, wedding and repenting

The simple fact IS that IN the mind Of
the writer. and naturally also In the mind
Of the reader of the 'Recessional," '.the
tumult' and ''the shouting are not two
distinct things. but two things so mufu-
ally inclusive as 20 form but one thing.
The poet had a clear thought TO express
and he expressed that thought In a man

Shakespeare down.

Men and Their Hats.

Hats, according to an English writer on
matters sartorial, are the most character
istic part of the male costume The SLOUGH
or brigand hat gives great distinction to a
spiritual and expressive face, like Tenny-
sons, for example, but at private theat-
ricals, especially with feather in it, it is
capable of transforming feeble face into
that of a downright idiots. Men in cooked
hats look wonderfully alike They confer
no individuality. A general, except for
his plumes, cannot be distinguished from
military medico The top hat is in one
respect worthy Of the estimation in which
1t Is held. Why we should be compelled to
go to church in it is inexplicable, but it
always had religious association. When
Rogers, who was not beautiful, expressed
wish to be painted in "a devotional at
titude, Sydney Smith suggested 1t should
be with his face in his hat, in which so
many churchgoers seem to find spiritual
calm. But there Is no doubt that the top
bat has power which is the attribute of
no other headgear. 1t may not be able to
confer distinction even at its glossiest, but
when IL Is in a state of decadence It sinks its
wearer In disrespectability fathoms deep
We may talk of the aristocracy of birth, or
natures true nobility, but let the repre-
sentative of either wear bad hat, and to
the eye of the observer he becomes a black
guard at once.

Burglars and Matches.

There is this to be said in favor of
the sulphur MATCH said the retired
burglar, THAT it is noiseless when
struck, but its odor is decidedly against
it. More than once, when l have struck
sulphur match in the hall, l have
heard some light sleeper, when the
pungent fumes of the sulphur permeated
the atmosphere, turn in bed in the adj
jacent room. Istuck to sulphur match
es for long Internationally enough, |
suppose-but finally 1 came to use par.
Tor matches altogether. They are noisy,
but odorless, and it may be possible to
scratch them when teams are passing,
or when the wind is blowing, or there
is some other noise abroad. AT any rate,
l came to prefer, from experience, the
noisy, odorless match to the silent sui.
phur.
"Of course the ideal match for any
body in my business would be one that
should be both silent and odorless. 1t is
wonder to me that nobody has invent
ed such match. 1t is greatly needed,
and L should say that it would be COM
paratively easy of invention. Now that
l have retired, maybe Twill devote my
self to the invention of such match
and to do something to promote the in
terests of an arduous and none too re-
munerative calling. New York Sun.

Grecian Customs That Are Anything but

In nearly all the churches or in the
monastic chapels hereabout | find
swarms of Greek soldiers. They come
in, cross themselves, stand listening
while the priest reads from the holy
books in the peculiar quavering sing
song which makes the words quite in
comprehensive even to Greeks, and
then they kiss the pictures. The other
day at Zarkos l saw them crowding to
kiss a round inch of the skull of st.
Nicholas and few of Chrysostom s
persisted finger joints. Their mother
tongue was Greek, but they kissed the
bones and went away Round the walls

which Italy can show, fires and rent

things as man has invented to add to
his fear and unhappiness in the world.

pus stewed in leeks, dish that tasted

to discuss the position and prospects of

lance of its metaphysical distinctions,
but we did not get very far. The poor
man was overcome at the loss of two
oxen, the very leaders of his team,
without which all the rest were useless
for the pillow. The government had
taken them and killed them to feed the
soldiers and in return had given him a
paper promise to pay No doubt the
payment will be made, but can you
pillow your field with paper promise?
Will the other oxen follow it if you hold
it before their nose? They look back
and will not move, lowing for their
leaders in vain.-London Chronicle.

Men Are Toiling Day
and Night on the
New ShafthouSe.
Excavating For Foundation


The Calumet and Hecla r1ining com
pany is pushing the work OF erecting the
new shaft and rock house at Nos. 8 and
10, Hecla, in place of the one which was
destroyed by fire Sunday evening, as fast
as possible SO as not to curtail the pro-
duct OF the mine any more than Is posi-
bic, for practically little or no rock can
be taken out OF these shafts until the new
building is up. Hosting from these
shafts might be done through Nos. Z or
3 shafts, but they are being worked to
their full capacity at present and the
crushers in these rock houses could not
take care of any more rock than they
are doing at present.
A very large force OF men were put at
work while the fire was still burning and
have been hustIing ever since. The work
is being done by night as well as day.
The wreckage of the building was cleared
away by Tuesday evening and work was
Immediately commenced on the excaya-
tions for the foundation. By yesterday
afternoon this had progressed very fav-
orably. A very strong foundation will
be built as the building to be put up is
to be massive structure and will con-
tam some very heavy machinery. 1t is
not probable that another steam ham,
mer will be put IN as the new cruehers
can be made heavy enough to do the
work satisfactory. The new shaft and
rock house will be larger than any of the
shaft and rock honses along the line with
the exception of the one at No. 3, Calu-
met, and it will probably be modelled
good deal after the style of that bailding
as it is double shat.
For the past eight or nine months No.
shat was the one that was producing
all the copper there. as nothing had been
taken out of No. 10 for long time
However this shaft was about ready to
be again put into commission as a pro
ducing shaft when the fire occurred.
The shaft and rock house. which was
destroyed, was the first rock
and shaft house built by the company.
