Bad English.

Men and women Of all classes break
the rules Of grammar nowadays, pre-
ferring picturesque to correct speech,
but the offense is most often committed
by the poor. Yet bad English Is not a
necessity Of poverty, for there is not a
man or woman or child In this broad
land of free schools who is compelled to
say II knowed" or Il seen" or II have
saw" or any one or all Of dozens Of the
most glaring and lnexcusabIe outrages
of syntax. There is no more necessity
for the poor person to speak incorrectly
than there Is for the most favored Of
our people. Schools and newspapers
and books are within the reach of all at
absolutely no cost save time and little
thought and application. 1t is not
asked or expected that any person use
perfectly pure speech, for certain lat
itude Of language is permissible; but
there is no possible excuse for such err
rors of speech as prevail among the so
called lower classes, which includes
thousands Of people who have plenty of
time to talk and read. The root of the
matter lies in the careIessness and In
difference of parents and teachers who
neglect the children In their charge at
time when they are learning the lam
guage, not out Of grammars, but out of
the mouths Of their elders, and of each
other. 1t is as easy to say ''I knew"
or Il saw" or those things" as 1t is to
say II knowed" or 81 seen" OF "them
things" and why let the children use
that which is more difficult and harsher
than that which is easier and softer?

SEVEN WAS HIS FATE.

Mystic Figure Pursued Franklin John.
soH Through Life and to Death.
In the long life of Franklin Johnson,
who died, after a weeks illness of pneu-
monia, at his residence, 81 West 49th
street. New York, recently, the figure
Z or a combination Of Is occurred SO
surprisingly In connection with every
event of importance that befeIl him
that it was only fulfilling PRESENT.
ment he had frequently expressed when
his death occurred in his 77th year.
Mr.. johnson was born in 1925, which,
by a process of subtraction and addi-
ton, easily resolves itself into a COM
bination of rs. His wife was born on
the 7th Of month and their marriage
also occurred on 7th. Their only
child, daughter, was born on 14th
and died on the 21st of a month, In her
14th year.
Previous to living at 81 West 49th
street Mr.. johnson had resided at n
West 52d street. and finally, yesterday
was the seventh day since he was taken
with a chill. which developed into
pneumonia and caused his death.
At one time Mr.. Johnson feared that
he would die in his 9th year, but when
he passed that period in his life he had
the utmost confidence that he would
1--we until he reached his 77th year.
Beyond that period, however, he had no
expectation Of living.
Mr.. Johnson was the last Of one of
New York's Oldest families, says the
New York Herald. His grandfather
served under Gen. Washington, and his
father was for many years one of the
best-knOwn contractors in the city. His
mother was cousin Of Ethan Allen.
OF his ten brothers and sisters there
are no male descendants known to the
family here, and Mr.. johnson leaves no
children, his wife alone surviving him.
He had not been In active business for
many years.

MouLTlNa OF THE TARANruLA

chronological Occurrence Of More
Ordinary Interest.
An event Of more than ordinary in
terest transpired in my oftice yesterday
noon. The large female tarantula shed
her skin for the second time since she
has been in captivity. Those familiar
with insects, spiders and related crea-
lures are aware that they are incased
by hard. unyielding integument In
crease Of size is permissible only when
the skin is shed, and one that has been
newly formed beneath expands to the
requisite degree. This Is process con-
stantly occurring in nature, and ever
excites interest In the beholder. When
a large spider, three inches long, throws
on the old integument II Is a thrilling
sight. In the present case the taran-
tula had evidently been feeling unweI
for some days, condition frequently
preceding this process among insects.
and yesterday morning she was found
lying upon her back and apparently
dead, but moved little upon being dis
turbed She lay thus until about 12:15
o'clock, when the rustling Of her move
mants made excited attention. The old
skin was ruptured about the thorax in
such a manner that the top could be
removed entire, and through this OPEN
ing the giant spider was literally work
ing out Of her old skin. This was ac-
complished by the aid Of the eight legs
and the two leg-like palpi. At the end
Of an hour the change had been effect
ed. The spider lay upon her back. be-
side the perfect skin, resting from the
severe exertion. This tarantula was
unusually large before she moulted,
and is now Of still greater size. She
came North in a bunch of bananas
about two and one-half years ago, and
until last January was the pet Of DIR,
]. NJ. Bigelow. While under his care
one skin was shed, and Is now in my
possession. An idea of the increase in
size attendant upon moulting may be
gained by comparing the dimensions Of
the dorsal piece of the skin shed about
the latter part of 1896, when under the
care of DR.. BigelOw, and the one shed
yesterday. The first measured one inch
and the second measures one and one
fourth Inches. Therefore the present
dorsal piece will probably be proper
tionately larger when fully expanded
