Learning a Language.

Proficiency in a foreign language is hard
ly to be obtained without making fair
share of ridiculous mistakes, and these
who launch this summer upon the unknown
sea Of foreign conversation must make up
their minds to this and not take 1t too
hard when they make absurd and possibly
scandalous remarks. like the elderly Eng
lishwoman who tried to buy little devel!
(teufeD for boys school," when it was
only little table GtafeD that she wanted.
Foreigners make mistakes, too, when they
are learning English. and there may be
some consolation in that for those who are
struggling with a foreign tongue. A Ger
man girl. who was studying English. trans
lated the sentence, No man can serve two
masters" by mo man can oblige two gen.
tlemen." and when she wanted to unpack
her trunk 1t was her custom to pack out
her chest" She announced once that her
sister, who had gone to Carlsbad, had lost
eighteen pounds Of meat" and she wrote
a letter that she could not skate because
she had two weak uncles." A hedgehog she
described rather happily as a little crea-
ture like pig. with all over him the things
that grow on rose trees" English as
translated for the use of hotels and shops
abroad, is often very surprising. In one
hotel ''the wines learn the traveller nothing
to hope for" and in another they have
dinner at every o'clock OF the day" A
third announces itself as good, plain.

Love-Making In Various Lands.
zyorn Hsrperss WeskrSS . lI.-t 4..

A curious inquirer into, amorous customs
and traditions has. lately set forth some
interesting observations on ''the way of q
man with MAID In different parts Of the
world. In Japan. It appears. the affair is
carried on with characteristic delicacy
There. the lover who wishes to declare his
love throws a bunch 0f plum flower buds
into the lady's con4eyahce as she enters it
on her way to the wedding Of friend
Should she fasteH them to her gown it
signifies that the spitor is accepted: should
she throw them away, however, the fates
are against him. SIN the arctic regions a
less amiable habit prevails. The Eskimo
lover cares little Tor the usual amenities
OF civilization; he walks boldly into the
fair ones abode. seizes her by the hair, or
by her garments Of fur, and drags her
away to his home.
The Hungarian gypsies use cakes as love
letters. A coin is baked into the sweet
meat. which is then thrown at tile favored
lady as she passes by. If she eats the
cake and retains the coin all Is we'll; but
If she should fling back the silver It would
be fatal to the lovers hopes. Among the
savages of the Arabian desert the girl is
approached without ceremony while pas
turing her decks. She resists strenuously,
attacking her suitor with sticks and stones.
If he succeeds in driving her into her
fathers tent she is his. but II she should
resist him, lifelong disgrace would be his
portion.

Cost Of Train Luxury.

From the Engineering Magazine.
1t may be asked why the railway loco
motive, II as efficient as l claim, does not
pull passengers at lower rate. Because
1t gives passengers so much room. comfort
and high speed that it has to carry a ton
of dead weight for each passenger. A To-
comotive weighing 100 tons pulls. at forty
five miles per hour. twelve cars weighing
COO tons and containing 100 people. weigh
ing fifty ton1. assuming the passengers
to be men, women and children, but chief
ly men, and to average 13l pounds each: !:
400 pounds of dead weight per passenger
when every seat is taken. But cars cannot
average more than seven-tenths full.
The railway carries free the passengers
150-pound trunk, and sends with him toilet
rooms, heating stoves and fuel, smoking
rooms dining rooms and bed rooms. These
houses on wheels, and the locomotive
which draws them, have to be made very
heavy in order to get the great strength
made necessary by high speed. II the rail-
way could dispense with these comforts
and luxuries and carry passengers packed
closely inside and on top OF low-roofed
ramshacitle. unheated vehicles, like the old
stage, and at slow speed, 1t could pull pas
sengers at ene-tenth to one-twentieth the
price Of the old stage.

Night Air.
From American Medicine.

From American Medicine.
The prejudice against night-air venttla-
ton turns out to be in part at least the
result Of experience OF the peoples OF ma
larial countries. The word malaria itself
suggests the reason for the prejudice. I'm
less the bad air were shut out the bad
mosquito was not shut out. Those who
shut both out escape one OF the worlds
greatest scourges, and even In the present
year the Baedeker guide books Of Italy con-
tain the advice. windows should be closed
at night" Somebody should send the
guide book publishing company some mos
quito netting. 1t Is claimed that the des-
cendants Of the window closers- 80 well
learned their lesson that those who did not
obey the beatitude, blessed are they who
do not ventilate their sleeping rooms" have
been cut of from perpetuating the race by
the pitiless laws Of Darwinism. In this way
the race escaped malaria, but found a
worse evil in tuberculosis and pneumonia.
Now that 1t Is known that 1t Is not ma
laria, but malmosquito that brings the evil
the cvusade against Naturalization and the
prejudice against night air may be under
taken with greater certainty Of success.
and the ravages OF tuberculosis may be
checked

SILK WEAVING BY ELECTRICITY.
Perfection Of Machinery in Modern
italian Mill,

Correspondence Of the London Mall
In the plain Of Lombardy. near a village
called Merate works have have been estab-
lished by Messrs Gavazzi for the spinning
and weaving Of silk. Some five hundred
work people. principally women and girls
are employed. and no fewer than 336 weav-
ing machines assist in creating the deaf
ening noise to which the visitor is SUBJ
jected. Each OF these weaving machines is
furnished with a small electric motor hav-
ing a simple starting and stopping gear
placed within easy reach OF the person in
charge of the machine.
The weaving Of material composed Of
such extremely fine threads as that OF the
silkworm must of necessity proceed some
what slowly. and 1t is therefore necessary
to apply suitable gear to the electric mo-
tors to proportion the relative movements.
without. however. introducing any form
Of vibration that might cause the rupture
of the silk, the utmost regularity being
essentiai-far more so than in any other
class of weaving.
In endeavoring to solve this problem both
toothed gearing and strap driving have
ever, shown that either method can be
adopted provided the motor is mounted on
springs in such way as to allow any
jerk to be taken up by the springs This
works of Messrs. Gavazzi by adopting a
principle that has for some time been in
use in mounting electric motors on tram
way cars where similar end is in view
viz. the avoidance Of vibration.
The electric motor Is carried by a hinge
on one side and by strong spring on the
other side. The vertical movement is thus
free.
To the women operating these machines
there Is no doubt much less danger than
where lot of driving belts are in use,
which offer such frequent traps for catch
ing some portion of the clothing and fire.
Quently result in serious accident to the
person.
To the proprietors OF the mill there Is
the advantage that all possible risk OF oil
being dropped from any overhead shafting
chimes Is avoided. an accident that might
easily happen with the older system of
driving. and quickly spoil a valuable length
Of silk.
To those who purchase the finished arti-
Gle there Is the advantage Of material of
an exquisitely even texture. which could
not possibly be produced under any other
system at present known for driving ma
chinery.
The weaving is divided up into three
classes, making material suitable for the
purposes of dresses umbrella covering, and
lining Of clothes. The works throughout
are picture Of cleanliness. and represent
all the latest improvements in this branch
Of industry, which after all, Is of similar
nature to that Of all the other weaving in
dustries.
The electrical energy Is partly purchased
In bulk from one OF the large companies
employing the water power Of a neighbor
ing stream and partly generated on the
premises by steam plant.

Wide Tires and Pavements.
From the Chicago News.

Fr0m tnc CnlcdSO NeWe
The aldermen who are now framing an
ordinance requiring the use of wide tires
upon traffic vehicles traversing the citys
streets are engaged in work the impor-
tance of which Is not likely to be overrated.
The need for such legislation has been ap-
parent for many years. While primarily
a measure for the preservation and proper
maintenance of the streets, the proposed
ordinance would be of material aid. Also
In promoting conditions of health and
cleanliness. The dilapidation and insight
liness of Chicago's street pavements are
due in large measure to the unrestricted
use of narrow tires on tramc vehlcies
While good pavements have been laid ana
in some Instances repaired at not fnfre-
quent intervals. nothing has been done to
arrest the destructive work of the narrow
tire wagon drawing heavy loads On most
of the streets occupied by street railway
tracks bears deep ruts made by the pro-
cession of narrow-tire vehicles. Asphalt
and granite surfaces. cedar block and brick
payements alike suffer from the destruc-
fion wrought by wheels with narrow tires.
The use Of wide tires-the width of the
tire being made commensurate with the
weight of the vehicle and It's Ioad-wOuld
put an end to this process OF destruction
1t would greatly lengthen the life of the
average pavement and decrease the cost
of repairs. The streets not only would lose
some Of their present slovenly appearance,
but could be kept in more cleanly condi-
ton and at less expense. There would be
fewer ruts and chuck holes to collect and
retain mud and water, and there would be
less dust to be blown through the air on
dry days, sending oisease-bearing microbes
into nostrils and lungs Furthermore. the
general adoption OF wide tires not only
would lessen the strain upon horse and
driver. but would quicken the progress Of
traffic.

What a True Scholar Is.
David Starr Jordan In the Atlantic

David Starr Jordan In the Atlantic.
The scholar in the true sense is the man
or woman for whom the schools have done
their best. The scholar knows some one
thing thoroughly and can carry his knowl-
edge into action. With this he must have
such knowledge OF related subjects and OF
human life as will throw this special knowl-
edge into proper perspective. Anything
less than this Is not scholarship. The man
with knowledge and no perspective Is a
crank, a disturber of the peace, who needs
a guardian to make his knowledge useful
The man who has common sense, but no
special training. may be a fair citizen, but
he can exert little influence that makes for
progress. There may be a wisdom not Of
books, but 1t can be won by no easy pro-
cess To gain wisdom or skill, in school
or out, is education. To do anything we'll
requires special knowledge, and this is
scholarship whether attained in the uni
versity or in the school of life. It is the
man who knows that has the right to
speak.
