MISSING WORDS.
An @oying Gaps I'm English Language
That Cause Inconvenience.


The English language may fairly
claim To be the most prolific in the
world. Not content with its native
riches, il possesses in special degree
the faculty of assimilating everything
useful from other tongues, ancient and
modern. Ii ought indeed TO be the
most perfect vehicle of thought in the
world, and in some respects no doubt
IL is.
But, curiously enough, there are de-
ficiencies in English not to be found in
far less copious languages. While in
many cases we have half dozen
words expressing the same or prac
tically the same thing, there are, on
the other hand, certain ideas that have
no appropriate words TO express them.
In the words denoting relationship
some notable gaps are found. The
most glaring instance is the want of Il
word TO distinguish between a male
and female cousin. Other languages,
such as French and Italian, have sep
arate word for each, but in English
some addition or explanation is re-
quired i'm order to make il clear which
sex is intended.
Curious gaps occur here and there in
our language if we look into it. The
word show" expresses the idea OF
making TO see, but there is no word for
making to hear-a photograph, for eX-
ample. Il took the photograph TO my
friend and WHAT Got him to
listen 10 it, would probably be the in
elegant finish to the sentence.
On the other hand audience" means
those who hear and applies very well
to those present in lecture hall or CON
cert room. But what Of those who see
a cricket match, for instance? spec
tators" is the nearest word, but ii does
not correspond exactly to audience"
There is one deficiency in the Ian
guage so awkward and irritating that
even mt this late hour 1t ought to be
made good Need ii be said that refer
ence is made TO indiscriminate use of
the personal pronOun 10 denote either
the person speaking or the person
spoken of? This may not be a defect
peculiar to English, but it is one from
which the ancient classical tongues are
entirely free.
HE said he had offered him money,
which he had declined" would be quite
comprehensive either in Greek or Lat
in, but in English it necessitates n num-
Der of bracketed explanations which
are positively annoying and destructive
of grace and fluency.-LondOn An

ODD NOTIONS OF WOMEN.

ASKING QUESTIONS.
The Art of Interrogation should lie
Devoid of Impertineuce.

Devoid of Impertineuce.
"Do not ask questions" u the worst
piece of social advice which age can
give 10 youth. man who never asks
questions Is the dullest fellow i'm the
world. He had better ask too many
than too few. We can defend ourselves
against curiosity, but no armor avails
against Indifference. We must resign
ourselves TO be bored to death.
What is the secret of the art of in
terrogation? Putting aside quick SYM
pathies, which lie at the root of every
social art, we believe the most essen
tial quality for those who would excel
in il is directness. The art of asking
questions SO as to learn, instruct, please
and influence is not the art of beating
about the bush The questions which
which suggest some Interior motive. II
is IA found out scheme which makes
men angry Anything of the nature
Of trap keeps us on our guard. If
we once fall into one we resolve IT
shall be the last time. Suspicion kills
confidence. Interrogative hints are ut
terly useless. The average man does
not dislike to be questioned. He hates
to be startled. crossed. interfered with,
reproached wearied or betrayed. He
hates the questions which are not ask
ed with a simple intention.
There are questions which are asked
not because the asker wants 70 know,
but because he intends to tell Others,
while ostensibly directed TO find out
mans opinion, are really intended to
reflect upon his character. Some men
inquire as TO their neghbors' projects
in order to put difficulties in their way.
Strings of meaningless questions are
poured out by those who desire 10 pre-
tend an interest in some subject which
they neither know nor care anything
about.
We believe the conclusion of the mat
ter To be this: The art of Interrogation
is serious branch of the social art
Well asked questions are Of the essence
of agreeable intercourse, but the in
terrogative mood will not justify an
impertinence, an interference, verbal
assault-nOr for the matter Of that,
bore.-LondOn Spectator.

ORIENTAL LANTERNS.
How They Are Made and Uses to
which They Are Put.


The lantern of the east is as old as
civilization. Its primary object is 10
protect the fame from sudden drafts.
Beyond this is the concentration OF
light for the convenience of a reader
and, last and least, the regard for beau
~. The oldest form is perforated
cylinder or rectangular box. OF this
type there are numberless varieties, old
and new. The ancient ones which have
been preserved are of iron, copper and
brass, nearly all simple in construction
and finish, but a few richly decorated.
Occasionally one runs across lanterns
made OF silver or ivory These come
instances are richly carved. Not in
frequently the perforations are fitted
with pieces of colored glass, rock crys-
tai, amethyst and garnet.
In China and Japan the travellers or
street lantern is a feature. This is a
inches To two and even three feet in
diameter, made Of oiled paper cloth or
silk. In Cathay this lantern is used to
show the rank of its owner by the col
oring or inscriptions on its exterior.
The humble citizen uses small affair
in white or yed, the official of low rank
sphere Il foot i'm diameter hanging in
front of his sedan chair, while the high
mandarin employs a huge lantern, re-
Splendent with his titles in colOrs, car
ried by an ablebodied cody who walks
Il yard in advance.
1t is in house lanterns that the great
est variety is found. OF these the gen
eral type is four, five, six, seven,
eight or ten sided box, whose length is
usually twice its width. Each side is
pane of glass, plain, ground frosted
or decorated. From the angles hang
pendants of many sorts. The frame
work is usually Of teak, but ebony,
rosewood. mahogany and other woods
are employed. Often the sides of the
lanterns are alternately wood and
glass. the latter being covered with
ground designs and the former richly
carved in relief or inset with ivory,
mother-of-pearl or silver.
Upon the pendants the artificers put
their hardest work. Some are made of
colored beads, strung and massed with
fantastic shapes and knots. Others
are strings of little bells, which ring
with every passing breeze. Lines of
glittering tinted glass balls betray the
origin Of n favorite mode of decorating
Christmas trees. Quaint objects in

ANCIENT CITIES.

Jerusalem in the days of Solomon
probably did not contain 10000 people
Constantinople at the time Of its
greatest splendor as capital of the east
ern empire had ii population of about
100000.
Babylon, whose name has come to be
synonymous with dense population
never had over 1.2OOOOO inhabitants in
its palmiest days. SO the archeologists
declare.
Athens, when she led the Greek
states in repelling the invasion of
XerXes, had only 10000 inhabitants
but Herodotus speaks of this number
as if ii was something 10 boast of.
Rome, the mistress of the world the
great city to which all roads led. Rome
the Eternal" did not exceed 100000
in population. Gibbon, indeed believes
that it had only 100000, and in this
estimate he and Milman agree

MERRY MEACTlMES.
The Table No Place For Fault Find
ing. Nngging and strife.

Has ii ever been your lot to sit at a
table with group of young folks who
ate the meal i'm silence or, with few
constrained remarks, looked askance at
the head of the family before ventur-
ing on any remark? | have seen such
a sight on more than one occasion.
Doctors have told us over and over
again of the beneficial results arising
from Il meal eaten with contented
frame Of mind and with cheerful sur
roundings: but, sad to say, there are
many households where each meal is
a constant scene of pickering, nagging
and fault finding.
This is not only the case where there
are young children, who require
reprimand occasionally for careless
ness. but l am speaking of those homes
where the girls and boys are well into
their teens. Wrong is that parent, Ell
Their father or mother, who chooses the
hour when all are assembled round
the table TO mention some half forgot
ten grievance or 10 find some fault.
If any trivial thing has been done
wrong or any duty omitted wait until
dinner or tea is over before you scold,
blame or reprimand. Let the food
which God gives us for the purpose of
nouriShing and sustaining our bodies
have the opportunity of accomplishing
that end, which cannot be the case if
every mouthful is swallowed with Ell
Their a sarcastic word or an uncompli-
mentary remark. More Indigestion,
nervousness and other arrangements
are caused by the too common fault of
uncomfortable mealtimes than many
people would suppose, and ii is our
positive duty. which we should all try
to remember. to make those hours of
the day cheerful and agreeable to the
children and TO set them an example
which you would be the first to notice
and approve in others.-Scotsman.

THE GENTLEMAN BURGLAR.
He Can Exist Only In Fiction, Never
In Real Life.

Whenever a thief who is dressed 9th
erwise than in rags falls into the po-
lice net there are chronicled the adven-
lures of a gentleman burglar"
Such a being is, of course, impossi-
bic. He is literary creation. like the
Invisible Man. the Frankenstein
monster, Kipling's Mowgli and the rest
of the crew of prodigies that dwell
within book covers.
As a character in fiction the gentle
man burglar" could be made plausible
and picturesque, for when we get into
the realm of fancy there is an implied
contract that the reader shall accept
the authors premises and not bother
about possibilities.
\ burglar is just a thief-about the
meanest OF thieves.
To man endowed with qualities of
refinement and consideration of 9th
erS and honor-whiCh are the attri-
buteS of a gentleman-burglar or other
theft is impossible. The pride of such
man. his regard for his own opinion
of himself. would prevent his sneak

ing his plate or his wife's jewelry.
Then it must be remembered that the
burglar is prepared to do murder TO
accomplish his robberies, and the idea
Of a gentleman committing murder for
gain is too inconsistent even for ic-
ton.
a gentleman burglar" is a contra
diction Of terms, like brave coward
or a tall pygmy. He may be better
dressed or his booty may be larger than
that OF most burglars, but when it is
all summed up he is a thief-just IA
plain thief-with the moral code and
impulses OF pickpocket or card
swindler or any other predatory crea-
ture whose natural home is prison
and whose deserved and fitting raj
ment is a suit of stripes.-New York

SIR JOHN SOANE'S WHlM.
s'he Practical Joke a Celebrated Man
Played ON Isosterity.

Played an Fostertty.
One of the most famous Of postmor-
TEN jokes was that perpetrated by the
donor of the celebrated Soane museum
Of pictures and other valuable obJets
dart TO England, the late Sir John
Soane, who died In 1897. In his will
Sir John made provision for the open
ing of three sealed cupboards Oh GER
tain specified dates in the presence OF
the trustees. In 1866 that is to say
almost thirty years after the death OF
the testator, the first Of the mysterious
receptacles was with much ceremony
and breaking Of seals opened in the
presence Of committee of men, with
the then president of the Royal acad-
envy, Sir +. Grant, at their head. In
stead Of priceless treasure or some
evidence that would throw an entirely
new light upon some doubtful incident
in political history the contents of the
cupboard proved 10 be worthless ac-
counts, letters and stationery.
Twenty years passed by and the in
terest that had smoldered after the
disappointment of 1866 was again
famed into flame at the prospect OF
breaking the seals of the second cup
board, at which rite there were pres
ent among others DR.. Alfred Water
house. r. A.. and Sir Ghen Dr. b. w.
Richardson. Like the cupboard mention
ed i'm the we'll known nursery rhyme, Sir
Johns second cabinet proved bare
of any sensation, the contents being
chiefly composed of letters relating to
certain long forgotten family quarrels
that had not even the merit of being
interesting. If some Of those author
lied 10 be present at the opening OF
the third and last receptacle Of mys-
terry were dubious about the profit that
would accrue 10y letting the light of day
fall upon the contents thereof after
sixty years darkness one at least, Sir
b. w. Richardson. looked forward
with undated interest TO that day in
1896 when the last seal would be
broken and the mystery solved, but he,
alas, died just two days before the
ceremony was performed, and the fact
that Sir John had played a practical
joke upon posterity was duly confirm
ed by the presence of a collection of
perfectly worthless letters and papers.

Grace In Old Forests.

others. The elm and oak are noted for
their perfect and graceful form. All
their branches appear to be perpetually
