Du Maurier,s Estimate of Leech,

All that was 80 years ago and more.
may say at once that l have RECONSTRUCTED
the opinion l formed of John Leech at
that time. Leech, 1t Is true, Is by no
means the one bright particular star, but
he has recovered much of his lost first
magnitude. If he shines more by what he
has to say than by his manner of saying
it, have come to think that that is the
best thing Of the two to shine by, If you
cannot shine by both, and find that his
manner was absolutely what it should
have been for his purpose and his time
neither more nor less. He had so much to
say and of kind SO delightful that have

Bunker Hill.

How were they faring meanwhile at the
rail fence, where General Howe was lead
ing his men in person? Not quite SO silent
here. The two little American feldpieces
opened effectively as the British advanced.
There were some struggling shots from the
fence, quickly suppressed as on the hill,
but they drew the fire Of the troops who
came on, firing regularly as If on parade.
1t would not take long to dispose of this
flimsy barrier On, then, and forward!
They came within gunshot, they came
within ten rods, and now the rail fence
famed as the American fire ran down the
line. This, too, was a deadly fire. The
officers were picked off. The troops began
to break, so savage was the slaughter On
hill and meadow, before redoubt and rail
fence the British columns gave way. They
could not stand the execution that was be-
ing done upon them.
Pigot ordered u retreat, and Howe's men
broke and scattered. AS the British troops
recoiled and fell back, cut up by the
American fire, the Americans sprang for
ward with cheers, eager to pursue, re-
strained only by their officers and shout
ing, Are the Yankees cowardsY" Lord
Sandwich was answered. Whatever the
final result, the men who had met and re-
pulsed that onslaught were not towards.

The Cocoanut as a Vegetable Food.

In its life supporting qualities the cocoa
nut is quite equal TO the be I of other veg
etable products that have been ranked
above it, and, although these nutritive
qualities are admitted, the amount of nu-
triton derived is much greater than is
generally supposed. AS an example, we
may refer TO the account that has been
published of vessel which left San Fran
cisco with 400 passengers for Sydney.
Running short of stores, they were obliged
to put in at port where large guam
tity of cocoanuts was obtained The re-
mainder of the passage was attended with
heavy weather, and the vessel became wa
terlogged, only reaching Sydney after
perilous voyage of 80 days Owing to the
extreme length Of the voyage their provi-
sions ran out and men, women and chill
dren were reduced to an exclusive diet Of
cocoanut, and owing to the scarcity of
these the quantity apportioned was in the
proportion Of one cucoanut TO each adult.
Notwithstanding this diet, wholly unre-
lieycd by any change, not a life was lost,
and not "a single case Of illness occurred,
all the passengers landing in healthy
and well nourished condition. New York

CHINESE MEDICINES.
Wonderful Mixtures Which Have Been

OF 40 octave volumes and contains RENE
dies from the vegetable and animal king

GUS. 1t includes $50 different kinds of
leaves, about $50 vegetable medicines, 90

and reagents is unknown, for they imply
more knowledge of chemistry than the
Chinese possess. Their medicines are ar
ranged under six heads-tonics, astrin-
gents, resolvents, purgatives, alternatives of
poisonous humors and of the blood Ele-
plants skin and, with certain consist

antidotes to poison.
The genuine ginseng root and the edible
nests of the swallow are considered veri-

the Chinese as stimulants. In fact, gin

its weight in silver, stands at the head of

A Decadent Epoch.

While the young painter and the young
sculptor of our time, says Russell Sturgis
in The Atlantic, can afford to watch their
immediate predocessors--the men 20 years
older than they-and learn something of
their ways of work, while they learn also
the greatness of the bygono ages of art, the
young architect had better not learn what
his contemporaries and those "a little older
than he have been doing. That which has
been done since 1915 in the way of archi-
tectural fine art has not been worth the
doing, and it would be better on the whole
If it were all wiped out Some interesting
buildings would be lost, but it would DO
better for the immediate future of art if
the buildings erected since that time had
been brick factories in appearance with
square holes for windows. There are evil
Influences working on all the modern
world OF fine art, and yet painting and
sculpture are living arts But the great fine
art of architecture is not alive; its nominal
practitioners have become administering,
adjusting, dexterous ilduciary agents, with
only here and there one among them who
cherishes even the spirit of the arSst. The
student of architecture has nothing TO
learn from the epoch in which no finds
himself.

A PRONUNCIATION PUZZLE.
Bs-s Yourself by Reading Aloud This Little
Story.

The following "episode" will prove q
very clever puzzle as a test of the ability OF
people to pronounce readily and correctly
many common words of their native
tongue. The list. which contains no words
of disputed pronunciation, is as follows:
An interesting inquiry took place In the
court Of oyer and terminer some time ago.
Indisputable evidence was given toward
proving that heinous incident bad taken
place during public pageant. 1t seems
that a pretty girl, rather juvenile In APP
pearance, having an extraordinary head OF
hair, like an Albino, represented Thalia
and sat on pedestal erected on one of the
floats. The procession was directing Its
course down the Mall, when the attention
of the onlookers was drawn to the excited
conduct of one Of the spectators who had
fixed her eyes upon the tiara, set with
jewels in the form of carat, which Thalia
wore upon her head as she sat in what
seemed 10 be her wonted attitude of non
chalance and leisure. This person was aft
erward shown to be maniacal laundress
whose squalor and detestation and hideous
grimaces " ere all unnoticed by the mock
goddess. What vagary babe this reptile
turn her servile eyes, full of rapine, on the
beautiful maiden, il is hard to say, but
suddenly, under pretense of seeing some
thing on the ground, she produced bia-
tus in the crowd, and thus obtained pre-
cedence of all. simultaneously with her
appearance the van drove past. She then
filled the air with gross raillery and began
to promulgate anarchism, society's lack of
proDity and the general prediction of
politicians for patronage. Then she be-
sought her audience hear her dilate on the
glaciers of the Alps, the ruins of Pompeii,
the female franchise, the Pleiades and her
patron saint. She was evidently dement,
ed, and the flow of her vocables appeared
endless. Suddenly she raised pestle
which had been hidden under her shawl
and threw it directly at the visor on the
girls head Tbereupon faccid lthog-
rapher who was cutting swath as
tribune on the following van grasped
seine and threw il over the gaunt old bag,
so that her efforts to escape were futile,
and she became as docile as a lamb. The
pathos of the affair lay in the way the girl
bore the ordeal. In court the virago gave
an alias instead Of her own name. Her
defense was that vaccine, whose presence
was shown by scabious arm, together
with desuetude in the matter of personal
freedom, had produced an obsession which
decreed the irrevocable death of the girl
An inventory of her belongings was
made, and she was then sent to an asylum

Well Known European Rulers Who Like

Few outside the intimate court circle at
Berlin are aware that the kaiser has very
fine baritone voice, and that he is exceed
ingly fond of singing German and English
ballads, which he does with good deal of
expression and feeling. His performances
In this direction are restricted to the even

but the most intimate friends and nearest
relatives being admitted to the imperial
circle.
The emperor never sings unless either
his wife or his brother consents to accom-
pany him, for singing is one of the few
things-perhaps the only one-in which
he is not absolutely sure of his superiority,
and il is probably precisely on that ac-
count-that is TO say, in consequence of
his difiidence-that he really sings in a
very pleasing manner.
1t is King Oscar, however, who possesses
the finest baritone voice in Europe, and
experts have declared that had he been
forced TO sing instead of reign for a living
he would have surpassed every profess
sional baritone now on the stage Queen
Margherita of Italy is passionately fond of
singing and of music, but her husband,
King Humbert, like King Leopold of Bel
