New York English.

We have been told by a keen and in
telligent observer who has returned to
this city after . sojourn Of, two years
abroad that the average New Yorker is
becoming very careless with his Eng
lish; not only does he tumble his words
together in every conceivable sequence,
but he makes gesture to supply noun
or verb and rattles off slang the analogy
of which is often Ineligible only to
himself. Without recalling for the mo-
ment any specific examples, we believe
our friend to be correct. He does not go
far enough, however; there is another
side SIf the New Yorker atstimes tries
toSget an ideaont IN The fewest possible
words, on other occasions he is tediously
Pathological and prolix. One has only
to keep an open ear in car ride up
town to find coaArmation for this.
Here, as though relaxing the exigency
Of economy of speech that has been prac-
ticed while distressing affairs all day,

The Alpine Good Night.

Among the lofty mountains and ele-

very solemn and impressive nature.
When the sun has set ir the valley

man who dvells upon the highest hab-
liable spot takes his horn and pro-
nouncessclearly and loudly through it,
as through speaking trumpet, praise
the Lord God" AS soon as the sound is
heard by the neighboring herdsmen
they issue from their huts, take their
Alpine horns and repeat the same words.
This frequently lasts a quarter of an
hour, and the call resounds from all the
mountains and rocky cliffs around.
When silence again reigns, the herds
men kneel and pray with uncovered
heads. Meantime it has become quite
dark "Good night!'' at last calls the
highest herdsman through his horn.

Reading at Breakfast.

Reading at breakfast is fatal to socia

cious thing to resume an entertaining
book at a particularly interesting pas.
sage with hot cup Of tea at ones ell
bow and piece Of buttered toast in
ones hand. The first look at the page,
accompanied by coexistent bite of the
toast, comes under the head of intensi-
ties.'' A book at breakfast is no compli-
ment to the cook, but newspaper is
an insult. On the other hand, a news
paper at breakfast is a benefit to the
doctor, for it is when one is put off
ones guard by the struggle with the
folds and the search for items of inter-
est that the way is made easy for the
approach of dyspepsia.
In the old days Of The Spectator and
Tattler, when papers were of a reason
able size and reposeful to boot, they did
no harm. Now-well, now the largest
circulation in the world may produce
the poorest digestion. It has been re-
marked (by a 7collector) that the only

THE VOICE ABOVE.

Lost on the drift, and where the full clouds
flow
The steep above him looms.
And strong winds out of distant regions blow
The snow in streaming plumes,
And yawns the gulf Of the crevasse below
In sapphire CLOVIS and glooms.
Along the precipice there is no way
That he may surely tread.
Slight is his foothold on the slippery stay
That trembles to his tread,
And chill and terrible the dying day =
Falls fast about his head.
Could he but hear some lowing of the herd,
Some mountain bell ring clear, #5 -.
II some familiar sound one moment stirred
To guide him lost in fear!
He dares not move. Some reckoning leading

Alas, could he but hear!
In those waste places of the earth and dim
No star shines forth at all. e-.
Through awful loneliness enshrouding him
He gives one shuddering CALL
While horror of great darkness seems to swim
And fold him in its pail. %7-
Then like blown breath of music in the height
A cry comes far and low.
He thrills, he springs, he gathers all his might
He feels new pulses glowI ..
His fathers voice-he needs not sense nor sight!
He knows the way to goi .''5

.1;sfE STAGE DRIVERS BLuFF.

Hairbreadth Stories Of Accidents Which
Failed to Awe One Passenger.
AS we left Sandy Gulch for Rising
Sun there were six male passengers to-
go by the stage, and the route was over
the mountains and full of chances Of
disaster. The driver came out, from
breakfast as soon as the stage was ready,
and looking about on the passengers he:
selected a small, pale faced man and
invited him to climb up beside him.
While the pale faced man was climbing
the driver whispered to the rest Of us: B
II picked him out in order to scare
him to death. You fellows will see q
heap Of fun before we've gone ten
miles. -
Two minutes west of the gulch the
road made a sudden turn, with sheer
fall Of 100 feet down to Wild Cat creek,
and the driver put his horses at the gall
lop and said to the man:
'tWe may get around all right, or we
may fetch up down below. Hold your
breath and say your prayers. =
The passenger made no move and did
not change countenance, and after maxi
ing the course all right the driver rather
Indignantly demanded: = z
y .Didn't you. see. that the off wheel
run within a foot of the edge of the
precipice?'
eft ran within six inches, sir,'' was
the reply. ~.>~
Beyond the curve was a down grade
Of a mile, and with a yell and -four
ish Of his whip the driver urged his
horses to dead run. The five of US in
side had to hang on for dear life, and
every half minute the stage seemed
bound to go over.
"Did you know that if we'd struck a
rock we'd all been dead men in no
timer" ~
'Of course. -
"And you wasn't pray in?''
"Not at ALL
Three or four miles farther on the
driver tried his man with another curve.
In his determination to make close
call Of it one wheel ran off the edge OF
the precipice, and only sudden effort
of the horses saved the coach. We were
flung in heap and frightened half tt
death, but the man beside the driver
never lost puff of his cigar When
things were safe, the driver turned or
him with: ~
"That surely was the brink Of the
grave. -
"Guess it was, - was the quiet reply
''The closest shave you will ever hey
till the last one comes.''
"Yes.'''
'See here, now, but what sort of {
critter are your" was the query. ''Don'
you know huff to git skeart?''
Nothing has happened yet to scar'
me.''

The Newspaper" Man Was Very Tired
When the Oriental Finished.
Numberless are the tricks which
newspaper reporters play upon one an.
other to relieve the somber "grind' of
their calling. Two young men employ
ed on morning paper in a large city
were detailed one day to call upon the
resident Cinnamon and "interview''
them respecting some immigration
measure then pending in congress. One
of the two reporters was beginner,
and the other, an experienced man,
naturally assumed the management Of
the assignment.
"Billings,'' he said after they had
invaded several laundries without any
important result, "here is tea store. I
wish you would go in and talk with
the proprietor. I want to know what he
thinks about Cinnamon voting. I'll go
on and pull off an interview with the
man who runs this cigar shop next
door. Remember to use the very SIM
plest English at your commando
The young reporter went inside the
tea store, took out his notebook, and
thus addressed the proprietor, who hap
pened to be alone at the moment:
"John, how? Me-me-Telegraph,

The Chinaman listened to him with
profound gravity until he had finished
and replied:
"The question of granting the right
Of suffrage to Chinese citizens who have
come to the United States with the
avowed intention Of making this coun.
try their permanent home is one that
has occupied the attention Of thoughtful
men Of all parties for years, and it may

A Refractory Royal Patient

King Humbert's delight in the most
fatiguing exercises and his absolute dis
regard as to the weather, which he never
allows to interfere with any plans that
he may have made, give his doctors some
anxiety. There is a good story of the
late DR.. Saglione, who died quite recent
ly, and in whom the king has lost most
devoted servant and friend. Saglione
rarely left his royal masters side, ,wheth-
er the king was chasing chamois in the
SHOWS of the Alps, hunting wild boar at
Castel Fusano, or during the great and
firing reviews on the plains of Lom-
hardy. A chronic cough that the king
had contracted owing to constant eX-
posure of all kinds of weather, drove Sa-
glione to despair, for his majesty abso-
lutely refused to take any remedies One
evening the king seemed inclined to fol-
low his doctors advice, however, and Sa-
glione accordingly sent to his room some
powders to be taken during the night.
Early the next morning he went to in
quire after his patient. The king told
him that he was much better; 1 might
almost say quite well' Your majesty
now believes in my powders" Saglione
said, triumphantly. Excellent" replied
the king, laughing; just go and look in
my room" There Saglione found his
powders in the waste paper basket,
where they had been thrown untouched.

What the Fox Should Have Said

NO. said the man with the large
head; II can't say that think much of
the fox in the old fable of The Fox and
the Grapes 1t is recorded of him that
after trying to get the grapes by every
way that his ingenuity could suggest he
finally turned up his nose and said, "Oh,
1 don't care; they're sour, anyway.
"Now, if that fox had any really COM
mendable wisdom in his triangular skull
he would have looked at the grapes
blandly and then have announced to the
world that they were sweet, but that
sweets didn't agree with him; that ow-
ing to the condition of his stomach he
considered it inadvisable to eat anything
containing saccharine matter; and that,
besides, properly philosophical fox
believed in self-denial and in taking
things that were easily at his disposal,
instead of trying to climb trellis to Sc
cure attractive but deleterious grapes.
eff he had done that, instead of being
the laughing stock of succeeding genera
tions, he would have stood good chance
of being appointed professor of philos-
ophy in subsidized university, and of
living on yellow legged chickens for the
rest of his natural life.-Tid Bits.
