Plurals of Nouns Ending In co."

In the formation Of the plural of
nouns with this ending the general
rule is that es is added to the singular,
as in potatoes cargoes, buffaloes, yet
the following words add only S Grotto.

octave, duodecimo, tyro, solo (all, by
the bye, foreign words), and also all
nouns ending in 10, as folio, folios; or,
in fact, whenever is Immediately pre-
coded by vowel, as cameo, embryo,
etc. A notable popularity is to be OBJ
served with regard to nouns substantive
ending with the sound of o. If they be
words of more than one syllable, they
for the most part end simply in o, but
if only of one syllable, they take an g
after the 0, thus, canto, potato, quarto,

Manners Outside the Navy.

The ordinary seaman's respect for

meager. When the president CT the

of the officers Of the ship, il. full uni

ton, the marine guard drawn up with

tioGal fl2S is displayed at the main, the
drummer gives 1our rutfles, the band
plays the national air and salute of
81 guns is fired. The same ceremony
also takes place on his leaving.
On one occasion the president visited
one of the ships informally, dispensing
with the salute and ceremony, when
one of the men rather Indignantly ask
ed another who that lubber was on the
quarterback that didn't "douse his

the reply, "that's the president Of the

Wonderful Pumping ENGINES.

The standard attained by the per-
formance of modern pumping engines is
pretty high, as was illustrated by an
incident which occurred not long ago
here in New York, where some large
pumping engines that had recently been
'set up and were working at rather high
speed and almost absolutely without
noise were inspected by an expert in
such matters who hailed from an inte-
rior city. He remarked, "Well, those
engines work very nicely now, but wait
until you get to pumping water at that
speed and then you will hear something
from them probably.''
His establishment may perhaps be i'm
agined when it was demonstrated to
him that. they were at that moment
pumping water and had been continu-
ously doing SO for As hours.

The pass itself is neutral zone be-

When an encounter occurs between
two tribes occupying settlements on op,

or other must cross it before commenc-
ing firing, as firing across the road is
prohibited, but On either side they can
exercise their friendly feelings toward
each other without hindrance
But still quainter is it when the
feuds are between close neighbors. Each
family, with near relations, occupies a
number of mud huts, inclosed in a
square surrounded by thick, high wall
of mud, stone and wood. At one corner
of these squares is built watch tower
80 feet high: where the family marks

picks off any unfortunate who shows
himself in the next square. Constitu'

ES'ACTlONS IN BATTLE
Some Keep Their Heads In the Mad Rush;

A man seldom cries out when hit in
the turmoil of battle. It is the same
with horse. Five troopers out of six,
when struck by bullet, are out of their
saddles within minute. If hit in the

and they get heavy fall; if in the leg
or foot or arm, they fall forward all

wounded himself will continue to run
with his set of fours until some move

galloping here and there, neighing with
fear and alarm, but will not leave the

will dodge them, if possible, and in
any case leap over them. When he has

is also the making or unmaking of him
as a warhorse. # the nervous tension

A Popular Librettist Couldn't Withhold
Joke on Prospective Bril-.
w. S. Gilbert does not retain all Of
his humor for use in his librettos.
In the early days of his success. when
Gilbert and Sullivan were considered
by managers as the "sure winners in
the comic opera field, a young woman
who was a member of one of the "Pina
fore'' companies wrote to Gilbert tell
ing him OF her approaching marriage
with young man of good position and
family.
Gilbert congratulated the young wo-
man and expressed the hope that her fu-
ture might be prosperous and happy.
Only little more than a month pass
ed, ard another letter from the same
girl re- bed him, in which she stated
chat her engagement with the young
man ha;! ben broken and that she had
accepted anC Ger sutton.
He replied that he had every conf
dence in her Judgment and again ex-
pressed his hearty wishes for her well
fare.
It was almost two months after that
that Gilbert received third letter from
the same girl, who informed him that
young Lord - had proposed and that
she had accepted him after breaking
her engagement with No. 2.
Gilbert's humor could no longer
withstand the temptation, and he wrote
II desire to congratulate you on your
approaching marriage WITH Here he
placed an asterisk and in a footnote
added
Here insert the name of the happy
man.
This is probably as characteristic a
piece of humor as any that appears in
his "Bab Ballads" or in his works for
the stage.-New York Press.

They Help One Another.

A singular custom prevails among
the Tartars or Kurds If man gets in
to difficulties-that is, loses his cattle
or other movable property-he pours a
little brown sugar into piece of col
ored cloth, ties it up and carries one
such. parcel to each Of his friends and
;acquaintances In return he is present
ed: according to circumstances with a
cow or sheep or a sum of money. He is
thus at once set on his legs again. The
same method is adopted when young
man wishes to marry, but is not. in a
position to satisfy the parents Of his
intended bride in the matter Of the
."bashlyg'-that is, marriage dover.
Only in this case he does not 90 round

CONTRASTS IN NAPLES.
Only a Step from Royal Magnificence to
Crowds of Half Naked Workers.

Crowds of Half Naked Workers.
One of the strangest contrasts in Ma
pies is 10 walk from the royal palace,
with its fine marble staircase, up tho
new Corse Re d'Italia and to climb in
to the steep streets around the Church
Of San Soverino Sosio.
These streets are the dwelling places
of the dyers, and one steps from regal
magnifcence into crowd of seminaked
people, who are busily dipping great
hanks OF cotton Or wool into seethlnS
caldrons. As elsewhere, the work is car
ried on in the street, and little streams
of water-red, yellow brown and black
pour over the rough stones and gath
er in multicolored pools, while OH low
benches against the walls women are
washing clothes, standing in the dirty,
soapy water that splashes over from
their tubs.
The passersby walk heedlessly through
the dye and soapsuds, while the chill
dren find pleasant occupation in throw
ing mud of every variety Of color at
anybody who chances to be wearing
light colored garments 1t is veritable
feast of color from the merely spectacu-
lar point Of view, but visit to these
streets leaves. a bodily as we'll as a
mental impression.
Very often in the depths of these sor-
did alleys one comes across a forgotten
old palace, built when carriages were
unknown, its great court OF honor
crowded with booths, it's vast halls fill
ed with heterogeneous collection OF
men, women and children, fowls, goats,
sheep and occasionally donkey, all
living together in the happiest proxim-
ity. The massive old walls are hidden
beneath centuries of dirt; the wood
work has, for the most part. disappear
