FOREIGN WORDS.

nounciag Then.

Soms General Rules That VIM A1A h FRO
nouncing Then.
Many foreign words have become q
part OF the English language through
frequent use and 1t is wise and proper
to pronounce them according to rules
of English. There are. on the other
hand, many words that do not readily
lend themselves to the English style
of pronunciation, or that are not used
often enough to warrant 1t. In pro
nouncing such words the following
suggestions may be of help to those
who have little or no acquaintance
with the foreign languages.
In Latin two vowels are not put In
one syllable unless they are Joined -
4 diphthOng. There are as many sy!-
tables as there are vowels in WORD.
(Si'-ne die for sine die.)
In German, the letter W has the
sound of In English. (Vahg'-ner for
Wagner) The same is true In French,
though W is only found in words that
have been borrowed from other Ian
guages.
The letter in German and In the
Latin tongues, viz: French, italian
and Spanish has the sound of long e.
peek for pique, FRI; Bee-an-ko Tor
Bianco, It.; Dee'-os for Dios, Sp2
In the Latin tongues, also, the letter
generally, though not always has
the BROAD sound, while the letter o
has the long sound.
The letter in Italian when fol-
lowed by or has the sound Of CHI.
(Vin'-chee for vinci)
Final consonants in French are
nearly always silent. (Pah for Pas)
So also is final silent unless an
accent mark is placed above 1t. The
accented has the sound of long a
in English or sound quite close to
that.
The syllables in French words are
never accented ms In English words.
All Of them are supposed to receive
equal emphasis but little more
stress is laid OH the last syllable unless
1t IL run into the next word as is often
done.
The French make frequent use of
nasal vowels, so-called, the correct
pronunciation of which Is difficult to
acquire. The nasal vowel is composed
of q vowel and consonant-m or n.
The consonant is practically silent, but
serves to give the nasal tone to the
vowel. The pronunciation Of the word
salon, for example) as given in Web
ster's dictionary. Is sa-long'. 1t should
be observed that in the front Of the
dictionary it is explicitly stated that
this ng is silent, being used only to
convey the idea of the nasal sound.

kanxsrs In China.

There are said to be no lawyers In
China. yet Hong Flu Ling. who was
killed recently during the fighting at
Tientsin was a very close imitation
Of one. Hong Flu Ling gained wide
reputation among the foreigners at
the Chinese city and was chosen to
represent their interests in the courts
whenever occasion required. He
proved himself capable and faithful
and his death cast Gloom ever the
foreign colony.
Although Hong Flu Ling was called
q lawyer, he was not really one, for
there are. strictly speaking. no lawyers
in the vast domain Of the kingdom
Of the sun. There are licensed nota-
riss, who pay the mandarin certain
amount for the privilege of drawing
up the complaints and statements Of
the people who may have business in
the court over which the mandarin
presidss. They extract heavy fees

THE ONE MEDICINE

In the world which women may
rely upon positively. Pe-ru-na is
good for everyone, but particularly
for women. The various weak
nesses which aflict their delicate or
ganism spring from inflammation or
catarrh of the mucous lining, and Pe-ru-ne
Is . specific for catArrh In any organ Of
the body. ANY congestion of a mucous
