Through the hearty welcome of the

their horses are well kept.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Stewards high
encomium on the roads. we feel compelled
TO say that they are far from good, and
that the one leading to the village of Wal
tti. opposite the frigate, is the only one
that deserves the name. This is hard and
smooth, about two miles i'm length. and
affords quite a pleasant ride. The sea
breeze here renders the air fresh and
agreeable. and the prospect is not with
out its charms.

CURRENT COMMENT.
MOTHER EDpY's ADDRESS.

(Dr. Atwood In the Universalist Leader.
The great gathering of the adherents Of
Christian Science In Boston two weeks
ago was made the occasion of an address
by the matriarch, Mrs. Eddy, to her fol-
lowers. Ii was printed in full in some of
the papers and has been more widely read
we judge, than falls TO the lot OF pastor
ais In general In advice and practical
suggestion, IL Is not very different from
the messages of other bishops But 1t Is
literary curiosity. Mrs. Eddy identifies
the decrease in the death rate, the inn
provement of religious sentiment" the
deoadenoe OF creeds, the renewed interest
in the study OF the Bible, and various
other tokens of human betterment, with
the period of the publication of her book.
She dips into Divine Science here and
there, chances at Biblical criticism, makes
enigmaticai illusions TO current politics,
gives personal incidents, refers to her
original modes OF explaining the Scrip
lures, ana breaks out ever and anon In
rhapsody. The way In which these
things are jumbled, the confusion OF
ideas and syntax, the numerous passages
from which no inteliigible meaning can
be extracted, and the happy unconscious
ness of the author that she Is making IA
phenomenal display of ignorance, COM
bine in the production of the most extra
ordinary religious deiiyerance OF recent
date.

CHINESE NAMES.
Boston Transcript

An acknowledged authority ON the
pr onunciation of Chinese names as trans
liberated into English assures US that
the re need be no serious difficulty I'm
sounding the many Chinese names now
appearing in the newspapers IL the speak
er Will remember that the vowels in these
names are uniformly those CT the italian
or continental alphabet, namely: "a n
always about as in far; always APP
proximat ely as in they or then; very
like in machine or pin; as either the
o of song CT how; and always as the
u of rule. t2) Also, it should be remein
bered, every syllable has an independent
value and should be given that value In
pronunciation. (3) As for consonauts,
they are pronounced exactly as written.
These three rules will secure as correct a
pronunciation of Chinese names rs can
be secured without oral instruction.
For example, under the first rule, one
would say tab koo. for Taku, not take
you as one may frequently hear the word
pronounced; ee-hoong-ehnng Tor Ii
Hung Chang, not lie-hung chang peh-
king for Pekin, not peekin; shang
ee for Shanghai not shang-high; tsoon-
lee-yahmen for Tsung Lii Yamen, not
tsung lie yaymen, and so on. Under the
second rule rien Tsin Is pronounced
teeyen tsinn, accounting the yen syl-
labIe; not teentsin General Mich name
Is Nee-yeh. The Chinese coin tael is not
tale, but tah-ale pronounced quickly.
YUM nan fla is yoon-nahn foo. not yunoan
fyu. In like manner all words are pro-
nounced with syllable distinctness and
with uniform vowel sound. Under the
third rule the province name Ssechuan Is
sounded. not zekuan, but nearly as zehc-
hOoahn, touching the choo>~yery lightly;
Nganhwai as nggahnghoowayee drop
ping the initial sound; Lian-tong Pc
ninsuia is leeahoo- tong, and the German
possession Kiau Chan is keaahoo chahoo.
However, without multiplying examples,
the reader of news from the much-trOub
led far East will lind his way through
the many difficult names he is to meet in
his reading in the near future, with sufii-
cient safety, IL he will but observe the
three simple rules here given for their
correct pronunciation.

The Portland daily press., 1900-06-27

The Republican State convention
which meets at Bangor today, will resem-
BILE most of the other conventions which
have been held this year, in that it will
have little TO do but to put in formal
nomination for governor a gentleman
who was agreed upon long ago. Such
work as 1t has win be confined to the
construction of party platform. OF
course it win ratify the national plat
form, but there is good chance for ex-
preston of opinion upon several ques-
tions of state interest which we hope, it
will not overlook. The question of the
revision of the tax laws S one of them.
Ii was generally admitted in the last
Legislature that something was needed
in that direction, but for lack of time
the matter went over. 10 let another
session 60 by without some definite action
win be great Disappointment to the peo-
pie of Maine and give rise to mnch dis
satisfaction.
