QUITE ENGLISH.
Trying to Find Reason for the British
Use OF Word.

Use OF "A Word.
Nicely observing persons who have
been reading The Christian" must
have noticed that when MIR. Caine finds
occasion to say niger he says Mig
ger right out brutally, with no sug-
gestion of apology in the way Of quo
tation marks-as If niger were
simply and only a term descriptive and
as innocently inoffensive as parson or
actress. says Leslie's Weekly. Some
may suppose that this departure-by
the standard Of good American usage
is due to the able editing OF Mr. Che
Waller. who, we have been told, revised
THE Christians" slang, that no mac
curate vulgarisms might mar its per-
feet realism. Such theory would DO
Mr. Caine an injustice. Strange as 1t
may seem, niger, as he uses ii, with
out quotations marks, is not slang al
all, but is simply the ordinary English
way OF describing a person of color.
Doubters are referred to so eminently
proper writer as Mrs. Ewing and her
charming little story Of Jan Of the
Windmill" in which niger appears
frequently in the same matter-oI-
course way, after fashion not little
shocking to the American sense Of
kindly propgiety. This obtuse uncon-
sciousness that there are persons OF
color in the book-reading world who
may vince at finding themselves thus
described as niggers, as If that were
what everybody themselves included)
| admitted them to be is really quite
English -typically English. 1t LACKS
the excuse of traditions OF race con-
temDt which one might find for It in
southern writer. while 1t contrasts
curiously with that absence of color
prejudice in England OF which so much
Is made And probably It is not a
case OF color prejudice, but only a
case OF not knowing when one is Of
fensive, which is the English OF it.

man in the congregation complied
with the request There was no con-
fusion and no levity. one or two were
little slow and shy in removing
their hats, but when they saw an the
others doing it they quickly did like

that not long ago a bishop was once
making a business progress through
a tavernless welt, and one night he
stopped with a boer; after supper he
was shown to bed. lie undressed,
weary and worn out. and was soon
sound asleep. In the night he woke
up feeling crowded and suffocated,
and found the old boer and his fat
wife in bed with him, one on each

bosom was still at h'T side.

What win ornithologists. poets. low
ers and classical scholars do OF say
about the strange story which is told
as follows In knowledge. At Gran
brook in Kent, there is rife range,
which has been used by the local VII
unteers for rifle practice. aud at a dis
tance Of about six feet behind the tar
gets there has been built a large stack
Of fagots which serve to stop the spent
bullets This year pair Of nightil-
gales selected the stack as a site for
their nest, which they built in the IN
terror at a distance of about fifteen
inches from the surface OF the front
facing the targets. about four feet
from the ground, and almost in a di-
rect line with the center of one OF tie
targets. which are constructed Of can
vas and allow the bullets to pass
through directly into the fagots In
that situation the birds built their
nest, hatched their eggs and reared
their young, literally in a midst Of n
storm OF bullets, one OF which ulti-
mately proved fatal to one Of the
youngsters. The correspondent who
sends this extraordinary tale, Mr. J.
Herbert Allchin, is citizen OF Maid
stone, and had his information direct
| ly from Color Sergt w. Cogger OF the
Maidstone company, First West Kent
rifle volunteers, who quite seriously
and solemnly deposes that, while day
after day acting as a marker. he had
every opportunity OF watching the pa
rent birds, who we're engaged in feed
ing their young Sergt Cogger AYERS
that while he was in the butts at least
400 bullets were fired at the target and
the wood in the fagots was splintered
in every direction round the nest, but
the little brown parents never for an
hour left their beleaguered home. not
even when an unlucky bullet slew one

faithfully brought up their surviving
young ones, and flew away with them

treats where nightingales hide until

bluebell, and the May bushes are ful

/ gales love.
