COWBOYS CAPTURE RED DEER.
American Westerners Find Them
Harder to Catch with Lnssos
Than wild Horses.

Two of Buffalo Ills cowboys, now
performing at the Olympia, London,
irom Webb and ST Compton, had what
4bey called TIE best days sport they
ever had in their lives on the grounds
of Loudwater house, the residence OF
pannlure Gordon, at Rickmansworth,
recently. They were invited to las
500 a herd of red deer, and found
them trickier to capture than "ild
horses. but after determined cor
test the cowboys were victors.
The chase ranged over 12-acre
field. frineed with woods, out OF
which the deer were driven BY beat
ers. whose attempts at capture they
had hitherto defed. First came a fine
stag. which seemed the leader ne

air. Several times the cowboys failed
but eventually a coil fell round the

capture was more difficult. After two
had been taken prisoners the deer be-
gan to practice sly tactics. They
watched for the rise of the cowboy S

It took two hours to capture the first

PHONETIC ALPHABET.
Mr. Carnegie Backs the Movement
for Reform in the Language.
Ready to give $4,000 to Prominent
Educators Who Are Pushing the
Effort TO simplify the SPELL
ing of English Words.

Andrew Carnegie has come to the
relief of "the English language as
she is spoken" He has pledged his
financial support to movement
which will bring about reform and
correct abuses in the speaking and
writing of English. This is in pur-
suance of a desire of Mr.. Carnegie
to have English the principal Ian
guage of the world. The first step
will be in the direction of reform
and simplicity. The members OF the
various pathological societies which
have been laboring for phonetic spell
ing and the creation of pronuncia-
ton alphabet aroused Mr.. Carne-
gie's interest in the matter, and he
will finance the undertaking until its
completion to the extent of $4,000
a year.
A meeting of educators, presided
over by Mr.. Dewey, of Albany, was
held at Columbia university in New
York city on Saturday, February 81.
This committee discussed the matter
thoroughly, but so far as can be
learned no definite action was decid-
ell upon.

MARRIAGE CUSTOMS,
In That Country Girls Seldom Give
Their Hearts without Parental
sanction.

1t is seldom that an Italian girl mar.
ries without the consent of her par
ents, guardians or nearest relatives.
but once in awhile such things do oc-
cur. Perhaps no people are more de-
voted or sacrifice themselves more for
their children than do the Italians, and
It is this devotion that wins from tn
children such perfect obedience, says
the Chautauqua Magazine. Still there
are instances where the children give
their hearts without the parental
sanction. IN such cases it is difficult to
get priest to marry them, as he gen
srallv takes the part of the parents.
Some few content themselves with the
civil marriage, but others are not sat
isfied without the priests blessing on
their union.
There is an instance in Manzoni's
"Promessi Sposir where a priest,
through intimidation, refused to mar
nv couple, and not long ago there APP
peared in a Neapolitan journal an in
| stance in real life where priest re-
fused to marry couple because they

This couple saved for long time, and
gathered together what they could
but a sum far short of the necessary
amount-and took it to the priest and
begged him to give them dispense
ton for it. He refused. One day as
be was celebrating MATS the couple
who were present, called out in turn;
'sThls is my wife. This is my hus'
bandl", The priest was beside Himself
with rage, and shouted: ut is lie, il
is lie!"
But it was true, nevertheless, for, &C
cording to an old italian law, to de
clare themselves husband and wife il
the presence of a priest was to make
valid marriage. So This couple wal
