Rropcr Pronunciation.

Iwo well-known officials, one of the Etste and the other of the city, while warm friends, occasionally get into arguments as to the proper pro- nunciation of words. The other night the word isolate was used by the city man, who pronounced it with the accent on the "i" as ''i-solste,' where upon the state man immediately .sbut- ted in'' with sOh, no, not isolate. but isolate 'Why, you're playhouse, ? rejoined the ..i'' man." Common sense ought to teach you that you are wrong. Just look at what the word means ice, that is frozen, which is to be a destd one, that is of no account, mean out of commission or put away back, see?" ''No, I'll be hanged if I do, nor anyone else,' shouted the state man. Then pained look came over the face of the city man, and with gentle pity he said: .sYou ought not to need a piledriyer or an ax. I'll spell it for you phonetically. Ice-o-late. Ice, do you catch on? Frozen, put away, eh ?"
 "Oh, rats!" yelled Bowen, lets have soue vichy and milk" and William acqIiesced.- Journal.

BoERs MUST WAIT.
They are Not to be Repatriated for
 Some Time Yet.


 Washington, Aug 26.--United States Consul Mercy, at Colombo, Ceylon, where large number of Boer prison CTS of war are held captiyes, has fur nished the state department a copy of the official announcement made as to the release of these prisoners. The point of the notice is that the repatria- tion of the prisoners is not to take place at once, but will depend on the readiness of the colonial government to receive them, as the circumstances of the new colonies do not admit of the return of unlimited numbers at one time. Foreign prisoners of war. who do not claim to be burghers, will not be allowed to return to South Africa. They may leave Ceylon at once at their own expense. Others may be handed over to their consuls if their govern ments wish to make special arrange ments for moving them. otherwise they must wait until the British government finds 1t convenient to repatriate them.
