MARK TWAIN'S GERMAN.

After n Few Contests With the
Language He Cries for Reform.
From Philadelphia North American.
1t is probable that Emperor William
has been reading Mark Twain's sug-
gestions for reforming the German Ian
guage, that is, if the recent news re-
ports of the Kaiser's latest reform
pronunciamento are correct.
The American humorist was driven
to expressing his views after a painful
experience with the tongue during
years residence in 1.-THE Fatherland."
Some of his comment and criticism
follow here:
Surely" says Mark Twain, there
is not another language that is so
slipshod and systemless, and so slip
perry and elusive to the grasp.
''One is washed about in it. hither
and thither, in the most helpless way;
and when he at last thinks he has
captured a rule which offers firm
ground to take a rest on amid the
general rage and turmoil of the ten
parts of speech, he turns over the page
and reads: Let the pupil make careful
note of the following exceptions He
runs his eye down and finds there are
more exceptions to the rule than in
stances of it,

for another Ararat and find another
quicksand. Such has been, and con-
tinues to be, my experience. Every
time i think 1 have got one of these
four confusing eases where / am mas
ter of it, a seemingly insignificant
proposition intrudes itself and crum-
bles the ground from under me.
For instance, my book inquiries aft
er a certain bird lit is always inquir-
ing after things that are of no conse-
quence to anybody Where is the
Bird? Now, the answer to this ques-
ton, according to the book, is that
the bird is waiting in the blacksmith
shop on account of the rain. OF course,
no bird would do that, but then you
must stick to the book. Very well. 1
begin to cipher out the German for
that answer.
Il begin at the wrong end, neceSsa-
rily, for that is the German idea. I
say to myself: 'Rgen (rain) is mas
culine-or maybe it is feminine-or
possibly neuter-it is too much trouble
to look now. Therefore it is either der
(the) regen. or die (the) regen, or (das)
(the) regen, according to which gem
der it may turn out to be when look.
In the interest of science 1 will cipher
it out on the hypothesis that it is mas
culine.'
Very well, then the rain is der re-
gen. if it is simply in the quiescent
state of being mentioned, without en-
largement or discussion, nominative
case; but If this rain is lying around
in a kind of general way on the ground,
it is then definitely located, it is doing
something-that is, resting (Which is
one of the German grammar's ideas of
doing something), and this throws the
rain into the dative case, and makes it
dem regen.' However, this rain is not
resting, but is doing something active
ly-it is falling-to interfere with the
bird, likely-and this indicates move
ment, which has the effect of sliding
IL into the accusative case and chang
ing dem regen' into den regen.'
Having completed the grammatical
horoscope of this matter, answer up
confidently and state in German that

when he even frames a German
sentence in his mind, with the 'hims'
and hers in the right places, and then
works up his courage to the uttering
point, it is no use-the moment he be-
gins to speak his tongue flies the track
and all those labored males and fe-
males come out as its!' And when he
is reading German to himself he al
ways calls those things it; whereas
he ought to read it in this way:
Tt is a bleak day. Hear the rain,
how he pours, and the hail, how he
rattles; and see the snow, how he
drifts, and oh, the mud, how deep he
is!
"'Ah. the poor fishwife, 1t is stuck
fast in the mire, it has dropped its
basket of fishes; and it's hands have
been cut by the scales as it seized some
of the falling creatures; and one scale
has even got into it's eye, and 1t can
not get her out.
1T opens it's mouth to cry for

Off d fin, and she holds her in her

f1shwife's brave mother-dog deserts his
puppies and rescueS the fin-which he
eats himself as his reward.
oh, horror the lightning has struck
the fish basket; he sets him on fire;
see the fame how she ticks the DOOM
ed utensil with her red and angry
tongue; now she attack the helpless
fishwifes foot; she burns him up, all
but the big toe, and even she is partly
consumed, and still she spreads, still
she waves her fiery tongues; she at
tacks the fishwifes leg and destroys
it; she attacks it's hand and destroys
her, she attacks its poor worn garment
and destroys her also; she attacks its
body and consumes him; she wreathes
herself about it's heart, and it is con-
sumed; next about it's breast, and in
a moment she is a cinder; now she
reaches it's neck, he goes; now its
chin, it goes; now it's nose, she goes.

ings; 1t has gone to a better land. All
that is left of it for it's loved ones to
lament over is this poor snoldering
ash-heap! Let us take him up ten

the prayer that when he rises again

SPRING VEGETABLES.
Now Overflow Stalls and Stands of
Savannah Market.

savannah Market
The market presented gay and pic
turesque scene last night, for the
spring has been abundantly able to
provide for the hungry, and the offer
ings of the fruits of the earth are
there in lavish profusion.
The weather, while often near enough
to the danger line to keep the truck
men worried, has not actually done the
vegetables any harm, and the result Is
that the housewife can now fill her
market basket, at reasonable cost, with
all kinds of fine vegetables.
Shown on the stands and in the stalls
are spring beets, cabbage, lettuce, wa
ter cress, turnips, radishes. egg plant,
squash, asparagus, cucumbers, string
beans, peas, new potatoes, cauliflower,
celery, tomatoes and, probably some
other things that escaped the general
inspection. All the vegetables seemed
to be in prime condition, and a test OF
the prices showed that there was not
likely to be any extortion. The truck
is, according to one of the buyers, of
excellent quality, and little less in
price than last year at this time.
Naturally a great deal of the truck
now offered is from Florida, but the
Savannah farms are very nearly ready
to step in and become a feature in the
market. Savannah peas and some new
potatoes are among the vegetable Of
ferings, also lettuce, asparagus, tur-
nips, cabbage and cucumbers (raised
under glass;. The truck farms in the
neighborhood are looking we'll and the
prospects of a fine and early crop

New York society is in a futter
over the announcement that the Earl
of Kintore, King Edwards equerry.
will sail for this country May 5, to
remain twenty days. His coming is
regarded as an event of the utmost
significance, because he is already in
terested in an important American rae
ing stable and his visit is believed
to have a distinct reference to the ap-
pearance of the Kings horses at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition at st.
Louis. The Earl will be given a din
ner at the Union League Club during
his stay that will be participated in
by all the real patrons of the Ameri-
can turf. Never before has there been
in thiS country a representative of the
royal sport so close to the English
