A Child,s Vocabulary.

'The language which the child of SIX
employs is apt to be the basis of his
speech throughout life," is the theory
advanced by an observant physician
writing in the Woman's Home Com
panion. 1--WE cannot separate from
words the ideas for which they stand:
thus what might at first appear to be
merely an educational matter Is also
a serious moral problem. The writer
retains tolerably clear recollection OF
Is own boyhood, and he has enjoyed
.e intimate acquaintance of many
young children. From this experience
he would express the opinion that q
very small minority of children at the
age of eight can be considered limo
cent and that very considerable
minority Of boys Of five can swear flu
emily, and use shockingly copious
stock of Objectionable words. By maxi
Ing a hermit of child we can post
pone for few years the inevitable
contact with the coarser manifesta-
tons Of human nature, but he win then
very likely be ashamed, by his very
lack Of proficiency in evil, into greater
assiduity In acquiring the fruit of the.
tree of knowledge. We have built up
special code Of ethics for children
with a vocabulary to match"

Did n Wholesale business.

An Englishman hailing from the
north went into the Chatham hotel, in
Paris, recently and cautiously asked
the price of a whisky.
Zone franc, SIR" replied the bar
tender.
And whisky and sodaY
"One franc, sir. All drinks are the
same price"
The Engiishman sat down and, to his
establishment, found that the place
was run on American lines and that
the customers helped themselves at
their own discretion. He punished
that bottle Of whisky till it was near
ly empty. AS he went out he paid
down his franc, but the manager call
ed him back and said, you have for
gotten your change"
II thought that the drink was a
francT
THAT is 50, sir" was the reply.
"That is the retail price, but there is a
reduction when you buy wholesale"
And he handed back sous.-London

The Hair In the watch.

Super1uOuS hfrSute adOrnments are
unpopular with women, especially
when they take the form of incipient
mustaches. Men, as a rule, are not SO
sensitive, but q hairy Individual, who
must have been llneal descendant Of
Esau. inasmuch as be actually had
whiskers growing out OF his ears, had
a rather narrowing experience In a
fashionable Chestnut street jewelry
store. He wanted to buy watch. the
best in the place, and very elaborate
timepiece was shown to him by the
salesman. 1t was said to be an ex-
cellent timekeeper. 1--WE have had 1t
In stock for quite awhile" explained
the salesman, and can guarantee that
It won't vary a fraction Of a second.
We've never allowed 1t to run down."
The prospective purchaser. who look
ed like a prosperous mine owner from
the west had been examining the
works and casually placed the watch to
his ear "Neyer run down, heyT he
calculated. "Why, it's stopped now"
''That's very strange" said the sales
man. s..s...
The man again placed the watch to
his ear to make sure, and then the
truth became apparent The hair which
protruded from his ear had intruded
into the works and stopped the delicate
mechanism. The salesman didn't like
to explain matters, and his delicacy
cost him the sale OF the watch.-Phila-

Army FlOgging.

Soon after General Gatacre was APP

enth foot he turned out with the COM
pany to which he was attached to wit
ness the flogging Of a soldier. The
man, who had been convicted Of seri-
GUS offense and was later to be drum
med out Of the corps. took his punish
ment badly. screaming great deal.
Ensign Gatacre shut his eyes and turn
ed white in the face, as though he
would faint. When the punishment
was over, he remarked to his color SER
geant, 'If l see much more Of this, I'll
sell out"
The ''noncom" responded. ''You'll get
used to 1t In time, sir" EN
used to 1t? I'm sure l never shall?'
responded the ensign. Flogging in the
army was soon abolished, however,
and the future general remained in the
service.

Thirty-seven years ago, while at the
front fighting for the Union. the idea Of
an association of volunteers after their
military duties had closed was born in
the mind of son of Illinois. DR.. Ben
jamin Franklin Stephenson, surgeon of
the Fourteenth Illinois Infantry, and
a native of the State, was the man who
first thought out the scheme which has
worked SO grandly. With him as tent
mate and intimate friend was Chaplain
W. J. Rutledge. In the quiet hours of
the night after TAPS" had been sounded
these comrades often talked of the hope
Of organizing the Grand Army. AS
early as the spring Of 1862 Mr.. Rut-
ledge preached the topic and DR.. Ste
phenson elaborated 1t to include a ma
tional order.
Looking far into the future the Doc
tor saw that distress would come to the
men of arms as the years passed by.
Wounds and disease would cripple
them prematurely. Hardships and ex-
posture, bad food and not enough of that
In the field would shorten the term of
their active business life. Hope of aid
they would have none unless, banded
together as brothers, they should re-
lieve each other. Seeking to keep alive
the fires Of patriotism, seeking to pro-
vide relief association which should
aid by the highest type Of charity a de-
serving brother, seeking to perpetuate
the brotherly feeling engendered of COM
mon hardships and perils, the Doctor
saw In his mind the long lines of veter-
ans marching together, shoulder to
shoulder, In peace as in war.
An idea so born could not fail to ger
inmate. The grand parade and review
of Grants and Sherman's armies In
Washington following the declaration
Of peace had scarcely passed away IN
til DIR. Stephenson began the active
work Of creating grand armyof peace.
In March, 1885, DR.. Stephenson and Mr..
Rutledge renewed their discussions
with the purpose of putting their ideas
into execution. In the preceding month
Fred I. Dean was called in and the
topic talked over with him. He pre-
pal GU IOuSh AOtcS tllc oNoPC
and purposes of the organization and
q conference of the charter members of
the department of Illinois was held In
Springfield In March.
At that conference the following men,
later prominent in the army, were pres
ent: Col. J. M. Snyder, DR.. James
Hamilton, Maj. r. M. Woods, Maj. Rob-
ert Allen, Chaplain Rutledge, Col. Mar
tin Flood, Col. Daniel Grass, Col. Ed
ward Prince, Capt. ]. S. Phelps, Capt.
]. A. Mghtfoot, Capt. B. f. Smith, Maj.
A. A. North, Capt. H. g. Howe, Lieut..
B. F. Hawkes. and DR.. Stephenson. The
conference decided to present the mat
ter to Gov. Oglesby and the Governor
heartily approved the project. The
name was suggested by some literature
received concerning similar organi-
cation being discussed in Missouri I'M
der the title of the Grand Army of
Progress.
In order to maintain secrecy it was
decided to send the copy of the consti-
tuition and bylaws to Decatur for print

rious Animal Elects.
The cuttlefish are caught In great
numbers, off the Cornwall coast and
are used as bait for the conger eel,
for which this part of the world Is cell
ebrated. The cuttlehsh possesses no
real mouth. but has a long, cylindrical
sucker with which 1t adheres firmly to
the bait. The method of capturing the
fish Is as follows: A long line from
which are suspended from 200 to 300
hooks baited with portions Of pilchards
(almosw the only bait the cuttlefish will
take) Is let down into the sea and al
lowed to stop there for about half an
hour. 1t is then drawn up, and the
cuttleflsh are found hanging by means
of their suckers to the bait.

had conversation with one man
who has several times received a full
charge in his face, and he assured me
that beyond the smell, which Is most
nauseous, he felt no Inconvenience at
all. no smarting or pain in his eyes and
no bad after effects.
If any of the liquid gets upon the
nets, 1t rots them beyond repair un-
less 1t is washed off Immediately. An
other curious fact is that this fluid
will not injure cloth in the slightest
degree beyond making q permanent
stain. One man told me that he had
used a jersey for several years which
had been squirted all over at different
times by these cephalopods, but that
except for the cloth being stained it
was as good as ever.

Commander Stephenson named Cap

the ritual was presented and accepted

at is mostly all luck in the mining
business" said II. A. Frederick, Klon-
diker from Seattle, 'and that gold is
where you find it is surer proposition
than any specification of mining ex-
pert. Let me give you a couple of in
stances. In the winter of '97 I was
working near Gold Hill in the Ell Do
RADIO district and one Sunday l was at
the cabin of DR.. Carper of my town,
who was treating a lame shoulder
had. After the professional part Of the
call was over, the doctor and I, who
are old friends, were talking Of mining,
he being In 1t himself more than doc
toring, and told him we ought to go
over on the opposite hill, next to a
claim worked by man named Lam
caster, and stake Off couple of claims.
But he would not have it my way at
all, and insisted that If there was any
gold there, somebody would have claim
ed the territory which did not have q
stake on 1t except Lancaster's. I lis
tened to him and we didn't stake q
claim, but In June following the doctor
paid $4,000 for four claims, each 100
feet square, on the same site, and out
of thirty-two square feet of one of them
he took $4,000, and he Is still working
them. That same year, at Christmas
he was feeling pretty good, and the day
before Christmas he told his brother
and couple Of men who were working
for him that he wanted to give them
Christmas present, and they could go
into the mine and get painful Of dirt
for whatever 1t might be worth. The
three took him up, and went hunting
for the richest dirt they could find. One
of them didn't want to act the hog, he
said, but he overcame his scruples and
got into the richest ground, as the
others did, and when they had panned
their selections, one man got $32, one
got $113, and the brother hit it for $164!
Think of that for painful, when man
can get rich at 1t If It pays him dollar
a pan regularly. The pay streak in this
mine Is seven feet thick and In places
the gold actually glitters In the gravel"
''But l am getting ahead of my story.
On the following Sunday 1 was with
the doctor again, and l called his at
tention to another unoccupied hillside
where he could stake claims, and again
the doctor turned me down. He insist
ed that I was throwing away my right
In the district to stake a claim in that
locality, and for second time I listen
ed to him. On the same spot that sea-
son a luckier man took $4,000 out Of
his claim and afterward sold it for $780,
600. The claim, I finally got did not
lose me any money, but didn't get any
big winnings, as 1 might have got II

The following is taken from a hotel
advertisement In the Calcutta Timee;
Gentlemen who come in hotel not say
anything about their meals they will
be charged for. and II they should say
beforehand that they are going out to
breakfast or dinner. ETC.. and II they
say that they not have anything to eat
they will be charged. and If not so they
will not be charged, or uniess they
bring 1t to the notice of the manager OF
the place, and should they want to say
anything they must order the manager
for one. not any one else, and unless
they bring not 1t to the notice of the

iMPERTlNENT SlMIANS.
An Experience In the Monkey Tenn
pie Mt Benares.


pie mt Bennres.
On the occasion of our visit to the
monkey temple at Banares we had
provided ourselves with popcorn and
other goodies which we expected to Of
fer their hollnesses. But the monkeys
did not give Us q chance to do that.
They snatched the dainties from our
hands, and when our supplies were ex
hausted they amused themselves by
nimlcking us.
One of our party, who had a bad
cold used his handkerchief with con-
siderable emphasis. Scarcely had he
replaced his handkerchief In his pock-
ct when a monkey seized the protrud-
Ing end, pulled 1t out and gave an ex-
cellent imitation Of the act. Then. Of
course, some of us had kodaks, and
after we had taken several pictures
another personiflcation of impudence
picked up n little block Of wood which
lay upon the ground and with 1t took
several snapshots ut us.
A third III conducted simian "a vain
female, who deserted her infant for
the purpose) grabbed from my shout
ders red chuddar scarf and in few
flying leaps carried 1t to a lofty NINA
ret. There she put 1t on and evidently
"fancied herself immensely. But she
was not allowed to retain her prize.
In about three minutes at least 40 mon
keys had bit piece of my precious
chuddar. ~
Then our native guide informed me
that the monkeys were very fond of
scarfs and that they captured a great
many on the stone "ghats" near the
temple while their owners were bath
ing in the river. Perhaps on the prin-
ciple that misery loves company" he
seemed to think his item Of news
ought to console me; but, although the
"monkeyshines" continued as long as
we stopped in the temple compound"
I no longer found them quite SO lu-
ous.-Chautauquan-
