Our New Dialect.

The effort Of our Porto Ricans to
adapt themselves to changed condi-
tons Is reflected amusingly In a San
Juan paper, which prints every day
a little lesson in English. Here is one
installment, the San Juan conception
of correct pronunciation being shown
by the phrases at the right:
How are you?
Sc pronuncia Hau "a iu?
Quite we'll, thank you.
Sc pronuncia Kuait uel, zenk III.
And your family?
sc pronuncia Find iua femiH?
Not very well.
sc pronuncia Matt ver uel.
Who is sick?
Sc pronouncia Hu IL sikh
My boy.
Sc pronuncia Mai boi.
Good-by.
Sc pronuncia Gud-bai.
Probably the Porto Ricans will ulti-
mately discover some Of these linguis-
tic curios, but "zend III" and "gud-bar'
are delightful enough to deserve to sur
vive.

TOILETS OF AFRICAN BELLIES
Being Without Stockings, They Color
Their Limbs with Red Paint.

Being without Stockings, They Color
Their Limbs with Red Paint.
Lieutenant Hourst Of the French
army has published lively personal
narrative of his recent explorations In
West Africa. With four white COM
panions he pluckily sailed down the
Niger River in an aluminium sailing
boat of about seven feet beam, man
aging to carry her and her smaller
consorts, manned by friendly natives,
the whole distance from Timbuctoo,
past Say and Bussa, to the sea without
serious accident or loss of life. Being
a Frenchman, the most amusing parts
Of his book are devoted to descriptions
Of Negridan ladies, whom he studied
along the river banks. He was not
captivated by their beauty. Indeed,
he compares them to Durham oxen, for
negresses, like English women, when
they are ugly at all, are really revolt
ingly ugly"
The corpuIent matrons Of the Niger
eagerly clad themselves In yards upon
yards Of cheap Paris velveteen, but
there were girls Of more slender make,
whose sole attempt at dressing was
staining their legs to the knees with
rocou or red dye, (which gives them
the appearance Of wearing nothing but
light red stockings" The gay lieuten-
ant confesses that he was confused as
a shy Englishman at the unusual sight;
but one Of the red-legged beauties, no
ticing his embarrassment, remarked
very sensibly Are we so badly made
that we need hide ourselves? All in
good time. When we are old like our
mothers we will wear clothes"
The men folks likewise have their
amusing traits. A declaration Of war
was one day brought to the lieuten-
ants boat. While 1t was being trans
lated M. Hourst covertly watched the
ambassador. After delivering his mes
sage he had prudently sought refuge
behind piece Of rock, but, finding that
no notice was taken Of him, he peeped
out, first with one eye, then with both
eyes, and finally ventured into the
open with the plaintive interrogtory:
''Is there any hope Of my getting a
pair Of breechesw

WHITE EXPECTS TO DIE.

Sheriff of Clay County Says He Will
Surely Be Killed.
John Feland, a prominent eastern Ken
lucky politician, says that while at Lex
ington he met and had long talk with
Beverly White, sheriff Of Clay County,
from whose house Tom Baker was assas-
sinated while being guarded by the State
troops.
Sheriff White told me-" said Feland,
that he knew his days on earth were
numbered He was confident that some
of the Baker crowd would kill him just
as soon as a good opportunity was pre-
sented He added, however, that he was
prepared for the worst and touched his
belt, in which he carried two huge Colts
revolvers and bowie knife. White re-
marked that he might leave Clay Coun-
ty, but for the fact that all of his rela-
tives and property are located there. :

Ham-smelling as a Busine ss.

To the long list Of curious and unus-
ual occupations by which men live.
the Kansas City Star adds that of the
'tham-smeller" in packing house.
His duty is to inspect meat products
and Judge Of their soundness.
The hamsmeller's only tools are g.
long steel trier and his nose. He
stands in a barrel to keep his clothes
from being soiled by the dripping
brine, and the hams are brought to
him by the workmen. A ham Is laid
before him, and he plunges his sharp
pointed trier into 1t, withdraws it and
passes 1t swiftly beneath his nose.
The trier always goes down to the
knuckle joint.
In testing meat in that manner the
man with the trier judges by the
slightest shade Of difference between
the smell Of one piece Of meat and an
other. The smell of meat is almost
universally sweet, and that Is what he
smells; the slightest faint or deviation
from the sweet smell is therefore ap-
probable 1t is not the degree Of faint
that he expects to find, but the slight
est odor that Is not sweet.
When he detects an odor he throws
the meat aside, and If 1T Is rat un-
wholesome it Is sold as rejected
meat but If it is tainted it goes to the
rendering tank. The ham tester smells
meat from Z o'clock in the morning I'M
til 5 o'clock at night, and his sense
must never become jaded or inexact,
or his usefulness would be at an end.

Building operations in Chicago and
Cook County have been resumed. The

their charge that the yard owners have

they have succeeded in breaking up the

there Is no such combination and that
the strike has been failure. In the en-

THE FOUNDRY FIRE.
One of North Yakima's Infant Industries De

One of North Yakimas Infant Industries De-
stroyed-No lnsuranee-Total Loss.
About noon Tuesday, while a strong
chinook was blowing, the Yakima foun-
dry, E. Bunce, proprietor, caught fire
and was soon totally destroyed. The
building was located on the Schanno
ditch west of the stock yards, across the
track. The fire was started by some lit
tie boys carelessly playing in the open
lot to the windward of the foundry. Mr..
Bunce lived in cottage a half block
northeast, but the house was in no APP
parent danger from the flames, which
ragged tiercely, the wind carrying sparks
a great distance, some of them falling in
the barn yard of DR.. Taft quarter of a
mile east on First and Walnut streets,
igniting the loose straw and manure in
the yard. A hay stack several blocks
east OF the foundry also ignited and the
flames were quenched with difficulty.
There being no fire plugs on that side of
town, reliance had to be place in the
fire engine, which proved of no avail as
steam could not be raised in time to
raise a stream. The engine was drawn
by two horses driven in hot haste by
Frank Terrell and manned by Mess RS.
Liggett and Walker.
Mr.. Bunce stated that his loss was
$1,000, in building, machinery and pat
terms on which there was no insurance.
He was of the opinion that had the hand
engine come to the rescue the fire could
have been easily subdued. But this
would have been difficult in the gale of
wind that was blowing.
