A few days ago / was asked by for
eigner, why do you say two behring's
and two soles' and not two Gods and
two salmons?" l do not think my
answer was very satisfactory, but the
question suggested the thought that
there are several cases in which it
would be difficult to say whether there
is anything like a consensus of opinion
as to whether a plural form Of the
name of a fish is admissible. We all
speak of soles, behring's, sprats, lam
preys and anchovies, the singular form
never, 1 believe, doing service for the
plural. No one, think, says macker-
els, Gods, salmons, trouts, Dreams,
shads, carps, places, BASES, barbels.
Sturgeon, perch, mullet, pike, turbot,
funny and skate have not unusually
the plural form in S."
Fishermen and fishmongers are in
clined to avoid the plural form I'm some
instances where it is employed by the
majority Of educated people. In some
cases there is considerable uncertainty.
This l have ascertained by means of a
fair number of tests. Among them are
carps, shads, tenches. .Compilers of
English grammars, so far as my expe-
rience goes, in treating of plural forms
of nouns make no note Of the names Of
fish which do not vary in the plural

ThacIxeray as n Snowman.

In Thackeray's case the justification
of artificial names, If it be right to
speak of justification, lies in this, that
with all the solid reality Of the life por-
trayed we are never allowed to lose
sight Of the author and his art in por-
traiture. He is ever at hand to under.
line the snobbery or laugh off the pa
thos. There is strong strain of the
satirist in him, and satire is akin to al
legory. There is even a strain of the
caricaturist ready to emerge in the
midst of his noblest art.
He is especially fond Of putting on
the airs and graces of the Snowman.
His preface to vanity Fair" is headed
Before the Curtain" and this great
novel of real life concludes with "Come,
children, let us shut up the box and
the puppets, for our play is played
cut" And We accept Thackeray's
showman's humor.-Blackwood's Mag

What We owe to Cockfighting.

The now disreputable amusement of
cockfighting, which was once respec-
table enough to divide with scholar
ship and archery the attention of
Roger Ascham, has provided the Ian
guage with "crestfallen," Gin high
feather" and Shakespeare's "over-
crow" (cf. to crow over. "To show the
white feather" is from the same
source, since white feathers in a game
cocks tail are sign of impure breed
ing. Often the origin of such words
or phrases has been quite forgotten,
but when traced discloses their true
character at once. Fair play" is still
recognized as a figure from gambling,
but foul play" now specialized to
murder" is hardly felt as metaphor
at all.-Open Court.

Rattlesaake Fla0s.

After the rattlesnake had been adopt
rd as an emblem and had appeared on
the flags Of several of the colonies Ben
jamin Franklin defended the device on
the grounds that the rattlesnake is
found only in America; that all ser
pents' emblems were considered by the
ancients to be symbols Of wisdom; that
his bright, lidless eyes signify vigil
lance; that he never attacks without
first giving fair warning Of his pyes-
ence; that his rattles, while distinct,
are so firmly Joined that they cannot
be separated without being ruined FOR
ever, and that as he grows older the
rattles increase in number, as 1t was
to be hoped the colonies would.
Indeed this idea was made use Of In
a flag device which represented rat
tlesnake with nine joints, each joint
lettered with red silk. The head was
marked IN. f." New England, the re-
naming sections IN. Y" "N.J.. ""Pa., /"
Md" "Va.," IN. c." IS. c." and

carded for the one made by Mrs. Ross
in Philadelphia in 1877, flag similar
to the United States flag Of today, only
with fewer stars.

in the world are the kettle bridges, Of
which Cossack soldiers are expert
builders. The materials of which they
are constructed are the soldiers lances
and cooking kettles. Seven or eight
lances are passed under the handles Of
a number of kettles and fastened by
means of ropes to form raft. A suffi-

Of an hour bridge is formed on which

The business interests Of the Northwest
nave long felt the urgent need of an in
sutution where young men and young
women could be taught the interesting
and useful art of shorthand writing in
Such manner and with such thorough
ness as to enable them to make an in
telhgent use of it. 1t is generally con-
ceded that graduates of so-called bust
ness colleges and shorthand schools are
at the time OF their graduation. as q
rule, and almost without exception, en-
tlrely unable to render satisfactory and
efficient service, and if ever able to do
so 1t is only after years of experience in
actual business. They have the theory
but are noticeably lacking in the ele-
ments of knowledge which would enable
them to apply it practically The result

1 q b heartily indorses all that
has been said commendatory of this ex-
cellent school.
Recently, at the request of a number of
prominent business houses, Mr. Nichols
has added Department of Bookkeeping
and Accounting which is intended 20
compare faVorably with his Shorthand
Courses. The completest facilities have
been installed, including one Of the Won
derful new adding machines now in quite
general use by banks and the larger mer-
camille concerns This is the first buSi-
ness school in the United States to adopt
advanced methods and anticipate the flu
ture by fitting its students for anything
and everything with which they have to
contend. The Bookkeeping Department
is under the charge of an expert account
ant of more than thirty years expert

tor.
1t has been said that four years

compensation varying from 500 to $3.50,

incomes which will not only support
themselves, but their families as well. 1t
