replied:
"Modesty doesn't do man any harm

DESTROYING MONEY.

Extraordinary precautions are taken
by the United States government in
the destruction Of its worn out and
filthy paper money. The fact that this
could be used again makes it necessary
that Its destruction should be con-
Quoted with care and he made COM
plete.
All the paper money that passes
through the treasury Is sorted, and the
old bills are sent to the redemption
division. where they are searched for
possible counterfelts. Then they are
carefully counted and tied up into
bundles Of 100 notes each.
A great canceling machine then
drives four holes through each Of these
bundles. of which q careful record Is
kept. The piles Of bills are then cut
into two parts, one set Of halves going
to the secretary's office and the other to
the registers Office.
In each place the halves are again
counted, after which they are CHOPPED
by machinery into fragments. Not
satisfied with this, the bits are then
boiled in vats of hot water and alkali
until they are reduced to an unrecog-
nizable pulp. This the law permits the
treasury to sell to manufacturers Of
novelties, who make it into little mod
els Of the capitol and the White House,
which are sold as souvenirs In the
Washington stores. New bills are is
sued in an amount equal to those
destroyed.-Youth's Companion.

HOSE WATER AND RAIN.

Flowers know the difference between
q rainstorm and q drenching from the
garden hose. You may deluge them
with barrels from the hydrant, and
they will ut best simply hold their own.
Generally they wither In the long,
dry seasons and that without regard to
the artificial wetting they may re-
ceive from the gardeners. But let a
little shower, however brief, fall upon
them, and they brighten visibly.
The difference is that the rain brings
down with 1t through the air or col
lects in the air a chemical quality that
the vegetation needs. The rainwater
may be as like that In the lake as two
volumes of water can be, but when 1t
has ridden the upper levels Of the at
mosphere. when 1t has travelled
through the various stages Of, vapor
and LIQUID and has tumbled down
through that retort Of the air, 1t has
become charged with elements that no
man can give it, and the flower knows
and recognizes 1t, as the first field
flowers recognize it in the beginning.

APLEA FOR "THON."
Need of a New Pronoun In the English
Language Set Forth.

Need of New Pronoun In the English
Language Set Forth.
Utica Herald-Dispatch.
The need of new pronoun in the
third person and singular number and
common gender has long been felt
The akward circumlocutions necessary
in order to escape the reiteration OF
the phrase "his or her" are manifest.
They are seen in the catalogues OF
public schools and of all institutions
where there is coeducation. In some
colleges the pronoun "his" is made to
do duty for both. The words "Each
student will prepare his thesis" means
that each student will prepare his or
her thesis. Some years ago some one
suggested the word "thon" as the pro-
noun of the common gender. We are
not certain whether it was Prof.
Henry G. Williams or not but, at all
events, he now advocates it and uses
it in his "Outlnes of Psychology" and
makes strong plea for its adoption.
Take for example this paragraph
"Every student should acquaint him
self or herself with some method by
which he or she can positively correlate
the facts of his or her knowledge"
This is certainly awkward. Of course
it might be written, GAIL students
should acquaint themselves with some
method by which they can positively
correlate the facts of their knowledge" ;"
But this might not be specific enough.
Prof. Williams would write: "Every
student should acquaint thonself with
some method by which thon can posi-
lively correlate the facts of thon's
knowledge"
This has an odd sound, indeed. But
aside from the sound, which is odd
simply because it is unfamiliar, the
new word vastly improves the sentence
under consideration. The word "thon"
should be added to our language. 1t
is demanded. The English language
is continually being enriched by words
springing from new conditions, new
discoveries, new inventions. Ease and
precision of statement demand the
adoption of some such word as this
that Prof. Williams advocates. Where
is the American university plucky
enough to use it?
