more than one fourth the amount

The report OF Inspector Wright
appears 10 this issue, showing the
amount Of revenue collie cted from
all sources in the Cherokee nation
by the agents Of the interior de-
partmenl. The report is a sur

had come to believe that very lit

reach the Cherokee treasury. The
largest amount, as will be seen
from the report, comes from the

FOREIGN WORDS.
Some General Rules That VIII Aid In Pro-
nouncing Them.

nOuncing Them.
Many foreign words have become n
part of the English language through
frequent use and it 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 it. 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 as
II diphthong There are as many syl-
tables as there are vewels in IL word.
tSi'ne die for sine die.)
In German. the letter w has the
sound of in English. (Nahg'-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.

Bianco. It.; Dee'-os for Dios, Sp.)
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 in Italian when fol
lowed by or i has the sound of ch
(Nin'-chec for Nfnci)
Final consonants in French are
nearly always silent. Uah for PasD
So also is final silent unless an
accent mark is placed above it. The
accented e has the sound of long a
in English or sound quite close to
that.
The syllables in French words are
never accented as in English words.
All of them are supposed to receive
equal emphasis. but Il 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-called, the correct
pronunciation of which is difficult to
acquire. The nasal vowel is composed
of a vowel and a consonant-m or II.
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.

LosOYerS 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 a gloom over the
foreign colony.
Although Hong Flu Ling was called
a 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-
ries. who pay the mandarin n certain
amount for the privilege of drawing
up the complaints and statements of

Crfckef.s Wone in EneEond.

Cricket is said to be losing its popu-
larity in England. In several Of the
British newspapers this is discussed
as an established fact, and it is said to
be due to somewhat the same reasons
that have led to the decadence OF
baseball in the United States. Just
us here professionalism has ruined the
national game, so the same evil seems
to have arisen in England. 1t seems
that the best cricket clubs are made up
OF professionals and alleged amateurs
who are really professionals and do
little else than play the game and reap
financial benefit thereby more or less
surreptitiously.

from those whom they serve and use
their influence with the mandarin. BY
n concession on the part of the gov
ernment the Catholic priests have a
rank which gives them the right to
plead a case before a mandarin. 1t has
been said that this right was abused
to such an extent that the people re-
volted. "If man did anything for
which he could be held" saida writer
on the subject, "he would go to a
Catholic missionary and be converted.
In return the missionary would plead
his case, using his influence and mon
ey with the mandarin and the criminal

number of converts has grown rapidly
and the natural hatred OF the Chinese
toward the foreigners has been inten-

Modern Iumigrafion.

During the fiscal year which ended
on June 80 last 3i1.71 foreigners en-
tered this country through the port OF
New York. Probably the total imml-
grafton for the year will not fall far
short of 100000. The noteworthy and
not altogether agreeable difference be-
tween the immigration of 1900 and
that OF --.irty years ago Is that now
most OF the newcomers are from
southern and eastern Europe, while
they used to be from western and
