A Matter of Spelling.

Those who love to study human ma.
ture often derive as much pleasure
from watching the people who visit
picture galleries as they receive from
the pictures themselves. 1t is not ev-
cry day. however, which produces so
amusing an incident as one which an
English paper reports:
Two ladies were looking at a picture
by Mr.. Faed in the Royal academy en-
titled His Only Pair" The artist has
depicted poor boy sitting up in bed
while his hardworking mother mends
his only pair Of trousers. The boy,
although obliged to stay In bed while
the repairs are under way, is contented-
ly eating an orange.
One of the visitors looked at the pic
ture with searching gaze and then re-
marked to her companion: "'His Only
Pair! | don't call that a pear at all.
It's an orange that he is eating"

BROKEN LANGUAGE. L
We Underntand II Much Better Than
Do the Europeans.

We UnderHtand 1t Much Better Than
Do the Europeans.
One Is astonlshed that the Partisan,
the London man and the Berliner can
not understand any one who speaks his
language brokenly. Where would we
who are of Anglo-Saxon stock be II we
were like that? We must understand
many sorts Of English not "as she is
spoken" but English as she is bro
ken" by half dozen sorts of wreckers
Of our tongue. We must understand
corner grocery" English, peanut stand
and bootblack's English, the pidgin
English Of the laundries and the truly
awful muddle Of those who start with
a potpOurri called 'ylddish" and end
by massacrng English with it.
In Paris If you merely shift the en-
phasis from the last syllable, where it
is always placed in French, to the first
syllable. even the most familiar French
words fall like so much Greek upon the
unyielding French ears. In London If
you say. "I'll come back at noon," they
declare you "a foreigner" because you
did not say midday" but if you took
any real liberty with their tongue and
should say. Il will back again by dinner
time come" you might as well ask the
average Engllshman to understand
Chaldaic. 1t is the same in Berlin.
You must go to Bombay. Port Said or
Shanghai If you want to find English
made elastic as it is in our American
cities.-New York Mail and Express.

He Got His Tin.

He was tiny little fellow, surely not
more than five years old, and as he
called for his afternoon papers at the
corner OF Twelfth and Market streets
many people gazed at him with mingled
amusement and pity. He had long
brown curls. wet with the drenching
rain. and his shrill little voice had a
baby lisp. A very stout. elderly wom-
an. apparently weighing close to 200
pounds, paused at the south side Of
Market street and looked askance at
the miniature river Of water and at the
passing procession Of wagons and troll
ley cars.
The little newsboy was quick to size
up the situation. Running up to her, he
exclaimed: Don't be afraid, lady. I'll
help you across" Reaching up his tiny
little hand. he clutched her by the arm,
and together the ridiculous pair thread
ed their way to the opposite curb. Then
the stout woman opened her purse,
gravely handed the little fellow a coin
and disappeared into the Reading ter
minal.-Phlladelphla Record.

AN OLD GARDEN.
The JOY II Gives Even Though the
Plot De "A Small One.

EiOt bc onuil One.
Perhaps no word Of six letters con-
centrate so much human satisfaction as
the word garden" Not accidentally
indeed did the inspired writer make
paradise garden, and still today,
when man has found all the rest Of
the world vanity. he retires into his
garden. When man needs Just one
word to express I'm rich and poignant
symbol his sense Of accumulated beau
~ and blessedneSS. his first thought Is
Of garden. The saint speaks Of "the
garden Of God" "A garden inclosed
Is my sister. my spouse" cries the low
er, or There is garden in her facew
be sings, and the soldiers stern dream
IS Of garden Of swords" Tie word
heaven" Itself is hardly more unlyer-
sally expressive Of human happiness
than the word garden"
And you have only to poSsecs even
quite a small garden to know why-a
small old garden. SO long rs It be old
it hardly matters how small ii is. but

viously not a garden at all. And most
keenly to relish the JOY which an old
garden can give you should perhaps
have been born In city and dreamed
all your life of some day owning a gar
den. No form of good fortune can,
am sure. give one deeper thrill of hap
py ownership than that with which
one thus city bred at last enters into
Of an old country garden.-

Ancient SuDerstIfiOns.

The ancients peopled all distant lands
with monsters and all distant seas with
horrors. Unknown and distant coun-
tries were, to their superstition, peo-
pied with "gOrgons, hydras and chime
ras dire" The distant seas were filled
with monstrous dragons and serpents,
Of which the sea serpent is today per-
haps a survival. The unknown oceans
were filed with whirlpools that sucked
in mariners who were sacrilegious
enough to approach them to an awful
death.
Perhaps these superstltions, as much
as any one thing, kept the world for so
many centuries an uneXplored and un-
known waste
