But of Russian novels beware. They
will try the metal of the most valiant
assaulter. II YOU would get some I'M
derstanding of the niceties and difficult
ties OF vowel sounds just experiment with
almost any foreign tongue. Have a
Frenchman, for instance, pronounce such
a common word as Diercr (thanks). re-
peating it twenty times while YOU try TO
initiate him. You viii probably be
ready TO VOW that YOU have caught the
sound at least ten times, and YOU VIII
probably be indignant when the French
man continues 10 shake his head smil-
inglv even to the twentieth time. OF
course you may turn the tables bv asking
the FrenChman 20 pronounce some SIM
pie English word and incidentally YOU
will get good lesson in the subtleties of
spoken sounds. 1t Will also show YOU
that the ear and the vocal organs have
TO be trained TO their work by long effort,
although YOU may not be conscious Of
that IN using your native tongue.
Before YOU score the Russian sounds
listen 10 a Russian: "Oh. English is such
4 crazy, lawless language! When l hear
the Woid captain am p'izZIed now 10
write the last syllable. Sh-,l it be tin,
'tun.' ton ten or tam" Can YOU
blame him? Many Of the variations in
the English spelling Of Russian words is
due 10 the fact that different ears inter-
pref the vowel sounds differently. Thus

nctf." although in Russion one and the
same letter is used for the first two vowel

Occasionally the l in the last sylla-
bic is displaced by zee" This makes an
entirely new series of sixteen spellings
possible. Occasionally the German COM
bination Of 'tsch" is used for the final
sound in the word, making another possi-
BE series Of spelling. 1t should be ex-
planned that W in some Slavic tongues

not in the Russian alphabet.
Some Of the Russian novels have no
exact equivalents in English. and the
translator must make choice Of expedi-
cnts. There is further confusion be-
cause unframed ears do not catch the
Russian sound exactly. or DO not grasp
the proper values of the English letters.
Admiral Mexieff's name is rendered into
English as Alexicff. Alexiff, Alcxcicff,

about the Consonantal variations.

for saying that the laugh is on us for be-

press two simple sounds?
Another difficulty that American news
paper readers encounter is in the different
forms of spelling one and the same name.
The Muscovite will snilingly assure you
that that is the fault of the English, and
not of the Russian. He will insist that
English is defective in not having more
letters, instead of being compelled to re-
sort to such makeshifts as "ch, Ssh, ="
"th" and Itch" to represent simple
sounds. Also. he will argue. there is
great confusion in English because some
sounds are represented by two or more
combinations of letters. In selecting the
English letters to represent Russian
sounds each translator is a law unto him.

add still further TO the confusion.

ElOped, Welded, Divorced. Remarked.

A dispatch from Washington city, dated
June %, gives the following:
Eloped, welded, divorced, only TO elope
second time with the same man such is the
unique experience Of Mr.. Adolph Hense, of
this city. The couples singular record is
as follows
Eloped to Rockville, Md, November 90,
1894.
Separated November, 1908.
Re engaged December, 1908.
Remarked at Rockville June 10, 1904.
Ten years ago the families and friends of
pretty Lucy Croft and Adolph Hense were
surprised to learn of their marriage at Rock
vile. For six or seven months they kept
the wedding secret. Then the families of
both were informed and the parental bles-
sing was bestowed.
Seven years the young couple lived hap
PLY together, two children having come to
bless the union. Then they separated and
each returned to the respective family home.
Mrs. Hense went TO live with her father AL
fred Z. Croft, and Immediately began steps
for divorce. For three years the suit pend
ed and was finally granted last November.
In the intervening three years Hense and
his wife frequently met by accident or de.
sign.
Hardly had the courts granted Mrs. Hense
a divorce when they decided to remarry.
In December they were engaged again aud
plans were made for the second wedding,
Last Saturday they decided the time had
come. In spite Of all previous arrangements
the suggestion was rather sudden, and again
the friends Of the couple were given sur.
prise when called upon to assist them in
having the knot tied.
Though the marriage in the above ro-
nance proved to be slip-knot and loosed
by technical court, let US hope that the
second knot Ia tied tiRht-Hense forever
