ENeLAND's cockNEY TwANG.
More Common Among Young Than
Among Middle-Aeed and Old.

Among the evils of the world which
the enthusiast tell us education will
most infallibly do away with Is that
painful and inexplicable mystery the
Cockney twang. But it is a remark
able fact that the wellknown Cockney
habit of pronouncing as as is is much
more common among the young than
IL is among the middle-aged, while
among the veterans of London it is
hardly known at all.
One can talk to the average London
workingman of so or 20 without detect
ing the slightest lapse into this dis.
tressing habit; indeed, the old London
workingman talks very often in the
grand style, with fine dignity of roll
ing syllables and a singuarly clear
enunciation. Among the middle-aged
the twang is noticeable, but among
the young it is obvious in every word
they utter. Precisely the same NAV
be said OF the South London accent. II
is not in the old suburban resident.
but in his sons anG daughters, that
we detect the evil.
From this it would seem that the
twang and the accent are both of
recent growth, and. by the same token.
that the present board schools are
powerless to arrest their progress

is the strongest enemy of Juvenile
smoking. Probably the action of the
local authorities in Edinburgh owes
something to the influence of Sir
Henry Littlejohn, the city's medical
officer, who is one of the oldest pub
lie officials in Scotland. Sir Henry
issued not long ago a statement of
the evils Of Juvenile smoking which
startled good many people. 1t is
not quite clear what, if anything, can
be done to check the growth of
habit which is seriously affecting
the rising generation. There are Par
liaments which have thought it we'll
to prohibit the sale of cigarettes to
boys and to punish boy smokers with
a heavy hand: but such a course
seems out of the question at present
in England. Years ago the Minister
OF Public Instruction in France issued
circular to all directors of colleges
and schools forbidding smoking be-
cause it checked the development of
mind and body. The remedy may
not be perfect, but it is better. at any
rate, than inaction. and it does not
seem too soon for NJ P.'s to begin to
think about the peril of the cigarette.

THE CIGARETTE HABIT.
Growing Feeling Against Juvenile
Smoking.

The fight against the cigarette for
boys, which has been taken up by the
local authorities of Edinburgh has
been growing in force during the last
few years. There is little doubt that
one of these days some thing will
have to be done at Westminster, such
as is now being done by educational
authorities and employers of labor in
. smaller ways all over England. The
Plymouth School Board has lately
circularized the parents of the child
rem under its care, calling their at
tention to the growth of cigarette
smoking among boys; and at Leeds
the School Board has sought the as
sfstance of eminent medical author
titles in it's efforts to put down the
pernicious habit. The school manage
ment committee of the Liverpool
School Board has declared in spe-
cial report on the subject that "ciga-
rette smoking affects the system gen.
orally. and arrests the physical de-
velopment," and the chairman of the
Glasgow School Board asserts that
the boy who smokes is mot mentally
or physically able to study"
From schoolmasters and school
boards elsewhere comes the same
testimony. In nine cases out of 10,
says the headmaster of Portsmouth
Grammar School, the unsatisfactory
boy is smoker. Mentally and NOR
ally. according to their teachers, boys
suffer from the cigarette habit. The
boy who smokes at school is not only
worse student in consequence. but
too often becomes sneak. "Juve-
nile smoking" says the chairman of
the School Board Of West Ham,

When the Beard Grows Fastest.

ways used to shave myself in the morn
ing, the first thing after getting lp;
but hated to do it, because it was so
apt to make me late for breakfast. So
one night, | shaved myself at IL
o'clock, and went straight to bed and
to sleep. Do you know, my face was
almost clean when got up? You
would have sworn, unless you had ex-
amined me closely, that was fresh
from the razor. And ever since then |
have shaved before going to bed, and
have been given credit for shaving in
the morning. The growth of the beard,
YOU see. is practically imperceetible
during the eight or nine hours of your
sleep. But II you should stay awake
those eight or nine hours the growth
would be as fast as usual. One night,
after l had shaved. had to stay up
with my sick daughter. and l almost
needed second scraping in the morn

three times as fast when you are awake
as 1t does when you are asleep.'-Phil-

She rested the basket, which she
carried on her left arm, on the pulpit
edge and took up her fathers sermon

A mans hushed voice crept through
the shrouded afternoon gloom.
MAY I come in?"
The girl started, and faced hastily
toward the porch. Her arm tipped
the basket over and a simple wreath
of white flowers fell to the cold aisls
pavement. Before the girl could
speak man stepped from the darken-

and, picking up the wreath. handed il

He stood looking intently at the
girl without speaking.

But l shall be here for another twenty

The girl tapped with her heel on the
