One Hare spot.

A few years ago we called the atten.
ton Of the public 10 the fact that the
young emperor Of Germany on his nc.
cession 20 the imperial throne had a re-.
hgious census taken Of the city Of Der.
lin. In which he found that only about
per cent Of the communicates Of the
established church could DO housed In
the churches Of that denomination on
a Sabbath day.
He and his court took alarm az this
terrible restitution Of church accommo-
dations. the greater alarm because the
churches were scarcely half full. al.
though they were utterly inadequate 20
hold . per cent Of the church members
He commenced Immediately campaign
OF church building in erecting chapels
in the suburbs Of the city 10 care for
the workingmen and their families.
believing that IL was cheaper 20 house
them in churches than TO have them in
anarchistic clubs. or. as he expressed H.
cheaper 10 build churches than prisons
cheaper 10 save men than 10 hang them
On recent occasion IL is said that a
German military officer uncovered his
head as the emperor and empress pass
ed him and stood at attention. A small
boy touched him and said "Put on
your hat, sir, put on your hat II the
empress discovers that bare spot she
will clap a chapel on H." The humor-
Gus side may impress the fact that the
emperor and empress were in search Of
every bare spot in Berlin as possible

Brave Acts.

On Jubilee day, which commemorated
the discovery of gold in California i'll
1S49, s1uad of Battery of the regu-
lar army was firing salute at Lime
Point fort, near San Francisco. One
load-the charge was 80 pounds of pow
der inclosed in wooden bag-did not
20 of. and the officer In command or
dered it to be pulled out of the cannon
Tbs charge was withdrawn, and as
it dropped to the ground it was seen
that one corner of the wooden bag was
on fire. In on instant the powder would
have caught and the seven men with
their officer would have been killed.
Private John M. Jones jumped toward
the smoldering bag, rolled it in the
mud and with his bare hands plastered
the singed edges with damp earth.
1t was a quick, brave deed, and had
the hero been a British soldier it would
have brought him Victoria cross to
wear on his breast.
During the sepoy war q young cap
tain of artillery saw an ignited shell
fall near his battery. Instantly he lift
ed it up, carried it to a distance and
flung it away. Just then it burst, shat
tering his left forearm.
In the Crimean war Captain Peel
of the royal navy, son of the former
prime minister, Sir Robert Peel COM
manded naval battery IN front Of Sc
vastopol One day large she'll, it's fuse
burning, fell into the battery near
where Peel was standing. Picking it
up, he carried it to the rampant and
tossed it over. 1t exploded before it
reached the ground Exchange.

NEW WORDS NEEDED.
English Demand For Such Combinations
as "Killmcnt" and "Lovist."

English Demand For Such Com 5inations
as "Killmcnt" and "Lovist."
There is one thing that has not yet
been Created by tho universal i'm
prover--that pest who tries to set every
thing right-and that is our English
language None but foreigners have as
yet had cause to complain of it, every
Britisher seems to be satisfied with it
except me.
Now, why aren't there more words?
We have something like $50, 900, but
that is not enough, and we often expe-
rience difficulties on this account.
For instance, when bus topples
over In the street the newspapers boom
out with long winded headings about
"the falling over of bus, !" collapse
of bus" or "the overturning of a
bus" etc. But these are more or less
clumsy. Clearly it's the word "over-
turnsion" that is wanted 1.-The over
turnsion Of bus" hits the situation
perfectly.
Then, again, If you want to say that
hundred Gordon highlanders were an
initiated by an Arab tribe, you could
considerably shorten your sentence by
the concise expression, ARAB killment
of 100 Gordon highlanders.
Thousands of colloquialisms could be
modified III similar way. The awk-
ward word photograph could be changed
to ''fotofy," puncture to punk" Gig
arctic to "cigette," situation to ''si-
ton or 'tsitment," and so ON.
In more sentimental matters new
words would be decided boon. A man
somehow can't help blushing when he
calls the woman of his heart 'sweet-
heart, clover" or intended. They
are ugly words my GIRL" of course,
is low, and "f.ancee" is avoided because
it cannot be pronounced properly.
"Lovist, "spilcer" or thatcher" are
infinitely more tasteful and convey the
proper meaning London Answers
