And this
First BYitoN in India.

The first Englishman who Is known
for certain to have gone out to India
was, according to a recent correspond
ent in an Indian paper, a certain Thorn
as Stephens, a member Of a wen-to-do
Wiltshire family and an Oxonian, who
landed somewhere near Goa about the
year 1879 and spent forty years in
Jesuit missionary work in Goa and the
neighborhood. Stephens not only sue
ceeded in mastering Marathi and KOn-
kan, which were the languages spoken
by the majority of the people on the
est coast, but left behind him among
other works in Marathi of literary merit
the "Purana," an epic, and it is in his
capacity as the author of this that Ste
phens' name is best known among the
west coast inhabitants.
The poem contains over II, 900 strophes
Of four lines each. 1t narrates in lofty
style the events that led uD to the eS-
tablishment of the Christian religion,
and from the creation to the ascension
of our Lord, who figures as the hero
of the epic. A new edition of the
"Purana" is to be published in Manga
lore, no printed copy of the work being
now available.-The Athenaeum.

Prononncing Japanese Names.

1t has been suggested to me that
many readers of Notes and Queries"
might be glad of a few hints as to
the pronunciation of those Japanese
places and personal names now so
prominently figuring in our magazines
and papers. There is little difficulty
in pronouncing Japanese correctly,
since the vowels are all sounded as i'm
Italian and the consonants as in Eng
Iish. 1t is worthy of remark. how
ever, that although theoretically sh
should be sounded as in English
some of the best Japanese speakers
reduce it to a simple S. Hence we get
Sikoku for the island of Shikoku. and
Tsussima for the island of Tsushina.
The reduction of Is TO is. on the
other hand. merely a blunder OF our
journalists, some of whom the other
day degraded Tsushima into Susima.
just as some maps degrade the Tsu-
CARA Strait into Sugaru. The stress
generally falls upon the penultimate:
Himeji, Osaka, Hakodate, Nagasaki.
Yokohama, Shimonoseki, Utsunomlya.
There are exceptions. such as O'gawa.
Kanagawa, O'shima, Horoshima. Mat
sushima, Katsura, Komura, Satsuma.

Baltimore Famlly'S Experience Points

The visitor to Baltimore today seal &C :
Iy realizes that less than year ago the
city was almost destroyed by a memora-
bic fire. A similar comparison might
be made by George W. Nally, one of the
leading citizens of Baltimore, as to the
change in his own looks.
A short time ago, Mr., Nally, writing
from his home address, 2213 Barclay St.,
says: 81 have been troubled for years
with catarrh and had resorted to all
remedies that could be thought of. My
wife was also afflicted with this terrible
disease, but all the treatments we used
were an absolute failure until we tried
Hyomei. It worked like q charm and
has made complete cure in both of our
cases.
J. @. Dodson, the local agent for
Hyomei, has so much faith in the treat
ment that he gives his personal guaran-
tee torefund the money In case it does
not benefit. A complete outfit costs one
dollar, the extra bottles are but fifty
cents, Ask to see the strong guarantee
under which Hyomei is sold.
