vigorous. For then all refuse matter

rh. Monknsh ana the Dor.

A monkhsh made a quick meal OF an
Eastport dog Saturday noon and was
captured a short time later near one
Of the sardine factory wharves, says
the Lewiston (Me) Journal. Very few
monk1sh are seen in Passamaquoddy
bay, but at different times they are
found Of large size and have been
known to come to the surface suddenly
and gobble up any sea bird that hap
pens to be on the water. They are
among the homeliest fish that are
found along the neigbboring coast, the
mouth being unusually large, and fish
ermen have known them to swallow
objects nearly as large as themselves.
In appearance they resemble a big
sculpin, and the one killed he.e Friday
came in for a full share of attention
from the many spectators on the
wharf. The unfortunate dog was en-
ioying a swim along the water front,
watched by his owner and a party Of
friends, when without warning the
monkhsh came to the surface with
open mouth and the dog went down
without much of a fight for his life.
Later in the day some boys were
spearing founders in shallow water
when they saw an ~odd-looking FISH be-
low, and with a boat hook loon gath
cred it in. The dog was found inside,
but was considerably mangled by the
saw-like teeth Of the fish, and it was
noticed that the dog was nearly as
large as the entire monk1sh.

Prof. Herman v. Hilprecht, the
B~abylonian explorer, who in the spring
OF this year went to the east to super
intend the excavations in Assyria and
Babylon IN the name Of the university
Of Pennsylvania, describes in a letter
just received the important results Of
his Journey. He says; THE results Of
our researches exceed everything that
has so far been known about Babylon.
We found the great temple library and
priest school of Nippur, which had been
destroyed by the Elamites 22S B. G..
The library consists OF 10000 volumes,
written on stone. and covers the en-
tire theological, astronomical, llnguis-
tic and mathematical knowledge Of
those days. We also unearthed a COLI
lection Of letters and biographies, de-
ciphered the inscriptions Of many new
ly discovered tombstones and monu-
ments. and espied, finally. best Of all,
5000 Official documents of inestimable
value to the student Of ancient his
tory. The net result Of our journey
consists SO far Of $4,000 stone writ
ings."

I'VE have to fight mosquitoes all
night" said one Of the Washington
night policemen at the white house.
This is the worst place in town for
them There is no opportunity to take
a nap around here. The big mosquitoes
would drive a hole in you before you
could get your eyes half closed. The
electric light On the front porch is the
main attraction that draws them to
the building. They swarm around the
light and occasionally fly in the front
door when 1t is opened for some one to
enter. The residence portion Of the
house is thoroughly protected with the
best fly screens. but despite these a
good many Of the pestiferous insects
get in to make trouble. Once in, they
hunt places to begin propagatlng."

some General Rules That WIN Ala IN Pro-
nouncing Them.
Many foreign words have become q
part OF the English language through
frequent use and II 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 20 warrant Il. In pro
nouncing such words the following
suggestions may be Of help TO those
wbo have little M no acquaintance
with the foreign languages.
In Latin two vOwels are not put in
one syllable unless they are Joined as
a dIphthong. There are as many syl-
tables as there are vOwels In a word.
(Si-ne die for sine die.)
In German, the letter W has the
sound Of v I'm English. Wahg'-ner for
Wagner) The same Is true In French,
though W is only found in words that
have been borrowed from other Ian
gunges.
The letter 4 in German and in the
Latin tongues, viz: French, Italian
and Spanish has the sound Of long e.

In the Latin tongues, also, the letter
a generally, though not always has
the broad sound, while the letter o
has the long sound.
The letter C in italian when fol-
lowed by e or / has the sound Of ell.
Win'-chee for Vlncl)
Final c%OnsOnants In French are
nearly always silent. (Pah for Pas)
So also is final e silent unless an
accent mark is placed above 1t. Tho
accented e has the sound Of long a
In English or a sound quite close &c
that.
The syllables I'm French words are
never accented as In English words.
All Of them are supposed to receive
equal emphasis, but a little more
stress is laid on the last syllable unless
It is run into the next word as is often
done.
The French make frequent use OF
nasal vOwels. sO-cniled. the correct
pronunciation Of when is difficult to
acquire. The nasal vowel is composed
of a vowel and a consonant-m or il,
The c|onsonant is practically silent, but
serves to give the nasal tone to the
vowel. The pronunciation Of the word

be observed that in the front of the
dictionary IT, is explicitly stated thai

Miss Eleanor A. Ormerod the First OF
Her SEX Monored at EdInburgh.


Miss Eleanor A. Ormerod the First Of
Her Sex Honored at Edinburgh
Edinburgh university has long been
noted as one of the most conservative
as we'll as one of the best of the insti-
buttons Of learning in Europe. II was,
therefore, a surprise when the board
of managers recently conferred upon
Miss Eleanor A. Ormerod the honorary
degree Of Ii. D. The lady has a world
wide reputation as an entomologist,
having for the last twenty-three years
devoted great attention to the study OF
various insect pests. She is the young
est daughter of the late George Orme-
rod Of Sudbury Park, Worcestershire
In 1859 she began to study entomology
from pure love of it, and fifteen years
later was awarded a silver medal of
the Royal Horticultural society for a
remarkable collection of drawings and
models illustrative of insect pests and
their depredations. Miss Ormerod's
scientific help has aver been available
to any applicant at home or abroad
without fee OF reward. On an average
1900 letters are received and replied to
annually. From every quarter Of the
globe these letters come. and Miss Or
merod has an almost unique knowledge
Of languages. She reads freely Latin,
French, German. Italian and Spanish,
and, with a dictionary at hand, also
Russian, Dutch and Norwegian. Miss
Ormerod is a member or corresponding
member of many scientific societies, and
she has been for years in constantly
recurring communication with the
heads Of the chronological depart
ments of the British colonies and Am
erica.
