HABITS OF SPEECH.
Faulty Language Used in Child
hood is Hard to Correct in
After Life.

"Why do educated parents al
low their children to contract
habits of ungrammatical speech
that will have to be conquered in
after life?" asked a spinster of a
mother.
because they hate to worry
the poor little things about such
matters when they are young and
should be care free. 1t seems
cruel to be all the time correcting
them and keeping them on their
good behavior. They will have to
learn the rules of our dreadful
language all too soon as it is"
"Yes," said the spinister, "and
in addition to learning to speak
properly they will have to unlearn
the tricks of speech in which they
have been allowed to indulge all
their little lives. l know, laugh
ing, "that there is much ridicule
of old maids children, but l
believe that my theory in the case
is correct. 1t is a positive un-
kindness to let your child double
his negative and say amt, when
several years from now he will be
harshly reproved for such lapses.
The child must learn to talk, any
way, and is it not as easy to teach
him to say 1T is l, as It's me?
And is it not as simple for the
little tongue to lisp 4 saw it, as
Il seen it?' l love baby talk, and
should not correct a child for his
mispronunciation of hard words.
AS he grows older he will himself
see his mistakes in that line and
change them. But / insist that
it is a parents duty to make the
difficult patch to grammatical
speech as easy as possible by
never allowing the little ones to
stray from it in the beginning. -

Strange Abode OF a Giantess.

Miss Ella Ewing, famed as the
Missouri giantess, whose heights
eight feet three inches, has Just
had built a remarkable house
near Garvin, Scotland county. 1t
is a two-story frame structure of
conventional pattern and would
not attract more than ordinary at
tentiOn were it not for the fact
that the doorsare all ten feet high,
with windows andceilings to cor
respond, This gives itanappear-
ance possessed by no other resi-
dence in Missouri-perhaps in
the world, for in the world, there
is no other woman like Ella EW-
ing. She is as modest as she is
tall, and it was only after the
most tempting offers that she ev-
er consented to exhibit herself
for a consideration. She has
been the main attraction at sever
al circus side-shows but has in
variably been accompanied by her
parents. They are people of av-
erage size and cannot account for
their daughters's remarkable de-
velopment, She is now at her
home. 1t was while travelling
with a circus that she earned the
money which paid for the house
which is now the wonder of Scot
land County, Mo.

CHISEL IN HIS HEAD.

One of the most remarkable ac-
cidents in the annals Of surgery
was brought to light this week
in Baltimore by the aid of X
rays.
About eleven weeks ago, Char
les Baker, a machinist in the Gel
ser shops, Waynesboro, was found
unconscious at the side of the
machine he had been operating.
There was a cut across the ridge
of his nose, another below chin,
and still another onone of hislegs.
The machine had contained two
steel chisels, each five and a half
inches long, one inch thick. Oneof
the chiselswas found lying on the
floor near the machine, but, al
though diligent search was made,
the other chiselcouldnot be found.
He was taken to st. Joseph s
Hospital, Baltimore, and was
treated and after several weeks
the wounds healed. About three
weeks ago Baker began to com
plain of a stiffness in the muscles
of the neck, and later a partial
paralysis of some of the nerves
of the face and neck developed.
Prof. William G. A. Hammel, of
the chair of physics, State Nor
NAL School, placed him under the
action of the X rays and by means
of the microscope located the lost
chisel in the patients face and
throat. The tool when it flew
from the machine, must have
struck on the bridge of the mans
nose sharp end formost, and tax
inga downward course, penetrat-
ed the bones, flesh and muscles
until it reached almost to the ver-
tebrae.
The upper end of the tool is
shownjus st where the bony struct-
ure of the nose begins, and can be
traced along it's entire length al
most to the vertebrae.
The chisel, in it's course, not on
ly narrowly missed the jugular
vein, but came within a short dist
ance of severing the base of the
tongue. The patient, before the
accidentwasa strong, ,robustman,
but he has now become greatly
emaciated on account of his ina
bility to swallow food. He also
experiences great difficulty in ar
ticulating, and it is with difficulty
that he can make himself under
stood. 1t is expected that an OPP
Grafton will be performed to ro-
move the chisel.

THE DAYS GONE BY.
JAMES wHITcoMB RILEY.

q, the days gone by. o, the days gone
by!
The apples inthe orchard and the path
way through the rye;
The chirrup OF the robin and the whist
lie of the quail
AS he piped across the meadow sweet
as any nightingale;
When the bloom is on the clover, and
the blue was in the sky,
And my happy heart brimmed over in
the days gone by.
In the days gone by, when my naked
feet were tripped
BY the honeysuckle's tangles where
the water lilies dipped
.Apd the ripples of the river Tipped the
moss along the brink,
Where the placid-eyed and lazy-footed
cattle come to drink,
And the tittering snipe stood fearless
of the truants wayward cry,
And the splashing of the swimmer in
the days gone by.
o, the days gone by! o. the days gone
by!
The music Of the laughing lip, the lus-
tire of the eye;
The childish faith in fairies, and Alad-
din's magic ring
The simple, soul-reposing, glad belief
in every thing
When life was like story, holding
neither sob nor sigh,
In the golden, olden story of the days
gone by.

Outwitted the Lunatic.

While residing at Rome 1 paid
a visit to the lunatic asylum there
and among the more remarkable
patient one was pointed out to me
who had been saved with much
difficulty from inflicting death
upon himself by voluntary star
vation in bed, under the impress
sion that he was defunct, declar-
ing that dead people never eat.
1t was soon obvious to all that the
issue must be fatal, when the hu-
man doctor bethought of the fol
lowing stratagem: Half a dozen
of the attendants, dressed in
white shrouds and their faces and
hands covered with chalk, were
marched in single file with dead
silence into a room adjoining that
of the patient, where he observed
them through a door purposely
left open sit down to heavy
meal,
"Hello?" said the would be
corpse to an attendant. "Who
be they?"
"Dead men," was the reply.
"What, rejoined the defunct,
edo dead men eat?"
"ro be sure they do, as you
see," answered the attendant,
eff that's the case, exclaimed
the dead man, "I'll join them, for
I'm famished."

A Farmer Met Death While Haul
ing Corn.

On Wednesday afternoon, Oct.
II, Amos Foul, aged 65 years,
while at work on his farm near
GARDENERS Station, Adams coun-
ty, met death by an accident.
Foul was sitting on the seat of a
wagon loaded with corn which he
was hauling from a field to the
barn, when the front end-gate of
the wagon, against which he was
bracing himself in order to con-
troll the horses, in going down a
hill, gave way and he was thrown
down between the frightened ami
mails which ran away overturning
the wagon and doing considerable
damage.
The unfortunate man was COM
pletely covered with corn and his
back was broken as a result of
his fall. AS soon as he could be
extricated from his dangerous
position Mr.. Foul was taken in an
unconscious condition to his
home near by, and medical aid
summoned, but all efforts to re-
suscitate him proved vain and he
died four hours later.

Kate Fields Love Letter.

If that charming woman, the
late Kate Field, did not marry, it
was assuredly not because she
did not have many an admirer.
A Washington lady has in her
possession a little old bit of vel
low paper upon which is penciled
boyish scrawl. 1t was preserv-
ed by Miss Field from her little
girl days. The scrawl runs thus:
"wont yue mete me down bye

On the other side of the bit of
paper is the address, thus:

THE SOUTH AFRICAN
DIFFICULTIES.
British versus Boer.

From Erie comes a series of
questions suggested by ihe South
African trouble, the answers to
which, if properly made out,
would fill this page. They must
be limited to this column. The
first question is:
"When did the Beers leave Hol-
land, and what for?"
Holland belonged to the empire
of Charles ", and when that was
divided between Austria and
Spain, Holland fell to the latter,
in consequence of which the Hol-
landers kept their share of the
commerce which grew out of the
discoveries by Columbus and his
successors. They extended their
trade as means of maintaining
their long war of independence,
which broke out in 1866, and in
the closing years of that century
and opening ones of the next,
perfected the Dutch East com
pany. 1t established trading
station at the Cape of Good Hope;
the first Europeans to settle there
We're Dutch, in 1852. They were
the agents of the company; they
were joined by other Dutch.
Briefly, that is how they came to
leave Holland.
"Why are they called Boers?"
In the latest of the dictionaries
Boer is marked as South Afri-
can word, and in a certain sense
correctly; but Boer meant origin
ally exactly what our word boor
did-a countryman. The spell
ing here is in the one case Dutch
and in the other English. We
employ the word TO express what
is rude, coarse, clownish; to say
that person is q boor is to say
that he has bad manners. In
South Africa to say that a man is
Boer, is to say, first, according
TO the primary meaning of the
word, that he is farmer or cat
lie breeder, man who lives in
the country; secondly, that he is
by birth or decent Dutch, though
the word is descriptive of per
son of mixed blood who speaks
the broken Dutch which is known
as Afrikantaal. Beers indicates
the nationality of the person rath-
.er than his occupation; the Boer
is distinguished by his language
now rather than by his occnpa'
ton; the banker or merchant Of
Dutch origin is in South Africa
as distinctly Boer as the farmer
" the cattle breeder,
