Purists and Pedants.

Many purists condemn such phrase
as "no sort or kind on the ground OF
tautology. I should be sorry, however,
to see it disappear, because it is land
mark in English philology. It is relic
Of the fusion Of Saxon and Norman
French. At that period many phrases of
a bilingual character crept into use, and
this is one Of them. '''.Truth and honor
is another, truth being ''troth, !" or hon
or, as in "by my troth.' ttVoice' as a
verb is much objected to, coming to us
moderns as it does from American
sources-e. g., to "voice'' the public
sentiment. I don't like it and never
use it, but it occurs in Shakespeare.
VIGOROUSLY many so called Ameri-
canisms are old English provincialisms.
The purists threaten, indeed, to become
insufferable pedants. It is now the GUS
tom Of the printers reader-our great
authority-to treat ''none'' as invari-
ably singular, a contraction for no one.
But it is useful as a plural and is SO
used in Shakespeare-e. g., "Speak
daggers, but use none.'' Why may we
not continue to say, II spoke to no wo-
men at the meeting because there were
none PRESENT. -Academy.

The Trees of Paris,

Paris is probably the only city in the
world which has trees that bloom twice
a year habitually. These are the horse
chestnuts. There are 1000 of them
planted in the squares and along the
boulevards, and $4,000 buttonwoods.
The trees in Paris are numbered, just
like the people, the cabs, the animals,
the lampposts and the matches These
horse chestnuts have only been doing
this trick for about five years, and only
some Of them have made practice of
it. These die, or apparently die, in the
latter part Of July, and all the leaves
fall off. A month or SO afterward they
all come out into flower again and little
green leaves shoot forth continually un-.
til they are nipped by the first frost.
There is reason for this, and the sci,
entists worked over the matter for a
long time to be able to explain it.
Briefly and unscientifcally the trees
lose their leaves because they are at
tackled by little fungus which lis blown
upon them by the wind; then, being
still full Of sap, they start to put forth
leaves all over again.

Easily Enough.

Here is Sioux City Ia.) Sunday
school story:
They were studying in the catechism
about the wonderful greatness and pow
er of God. "Can God do everything?"
asked the teacher. It was generally ad-
mitted that he could. Then the teacher
rather mischievously propounded site
kler perhaps as test of faith. could
God make two and two equal fve?" he
asked. The query rather startled the
little girls in the class, and their faces
took on worried, puzzled expression.
They had never thought of such thing
as that, and it looked as if their faith
was wavering. The teacher waited with
a rather amused smile on his face. Then
up shot little hand. "Well,' asked
the teacher, "what do you think about
it:' eyes, sir, he can, was the prompt
and certain response. Now it was the
teachers turn to look surprised. "Well,
how can God make two and two equal
fve?'' 'By adding one,'' was the tri-
umphant answer, and the mischievous
teacher couldn't dispute it.-Sioux City

"Ninety five per cent of the travelling

as much as one of the ordinary modern

railroad.''
The foregoing statement, which is cal.
culated to arouse the incredulity of the
average individual, was made recently
by GeorgeJ. Charlton, assistant general
passenger and ticket agent of the Chi,
cago and Alton railroad.
Just let me give you few facts tc
prove that assertion" continued Mr..
Charlton. 'The cost Of the average
passenger car today is from $4,000 tc
$1,000. A reclining chair car costs from
$4,000 to $12, 900. These figures repre-
sent the bare cost Of the car. When you
add to that from year to year the ex.
penses OF maintenance, instead of fgur.

capital invested you simply aggravate
the situation.

TIGER AND BULL.

A Fierce Battle, In Which the Tiger Was
Badly Beaten.
The Paris letter of the London Post
tainment given at the Plaza de Madrid
in the presence of 1900 spectators. This
was combat between royal Bengal
tiger and an Andalusian fighting bull.
The tiger, Cesar, was full grown
brute belonging to Spessardi, tha<train-
or, who had never been able to do any
thing with it and had, indeed, once
nearly fallen a victim to it's ferocity.
He sold it for 6, 900 francs to the director
Of the plaza.
A cage II yards square by in height
had been erected in the middle Of the
arena, and the animals we're brought on
in vans, the bull being the first to be
released into the Enclosure. The brute
Immediately began to run round and
round his prison, believing and throw
ing up sand and gravel with his hoofs.
The instant the tiger entered the cage
he gave aroar and bounded on the bull,
avoiding the horns, and fixed on his
tanks and belly with both teeth and
claws. The bull remained still for a
few seconds, and then seemed to be sink
ing backward to the ground. The spec
tators thought that all was over, but
the tiger let go for a5second to take an
other hold, and in the brief interval
was kicked over BY the wild plunges of
the bull, 6 Before the tiger had time to
recover the bull was on him, and, sink
ing his horns into. the striped hide, it
tossed the tiger into the air. This was
repeated four or five times, the bull
varying his tactics occasionally by bang
ing his adversary against the. bars.
When the bull stopped, the tiger lay
limp on the ground, and the crowd,
thinking he was dead, cried, "Bravo,
toroL'' ,~.-
The bull stood stamping for a mo-
ment in the middle Of the cage, and
then, seeing the tiger did not move, ap-
preached and smelled him. But Cesar
was only shamming death and seized
the BULLS muzzle in his powerful jaws
SO the animal could not move. Eventu-
ally, however, he was released, and aft
er stamping furiously on the tiger again
caught him on his horns. This time the
tossing. stamping and banging appar-
emily really ended in Cesar's death.
The cage was then opened, and the bull
rushed out and back to his stable. For
precautions sake the tigers van was
brought up, and, to the general sur
prise, Cesar rose to his feet, glanced
round as if afraid the bull was still
there, and then bounded into the van.
The tiger was found to have five ribs
broken besides having number Of
wounds from the bulls horns. It is said
that all wild animals-bears, lions,
panthers and tigers-fare badly in COM
bat with the Spanish fighting bull.
Man and the elephant are the only sure
victors over these active and ferocious
beasts
