THE SILVER TEST.

correspondent OF a highly esteem
ed contemporary has established a
new test of the silnon-pure in pro-
duetsof the poets art She has the
books of a modest American singer
that at every page or two get that
chill down the spine which signals to
me that | am in the presence Of
poetry Al last we have real stand
ard of value. Poetry heretofore has
been judged by individual taste and
appreciation. AS consequence two
oplaiens upon any particular work in
verSitication have seldom been the
same. With judgment reduced to
the basis of a common spontaneous
chill conditions will be simplified.
Every magazine and every publishing
house will have its susceptible test
medium. and the poet who can not
produce a shiyer with his lines need
oot stop to argue The waste basket
or the Office cat for his.-New York

WHY HE WENT TO THE PARK.

Three Sunday mornings the middle
aged man had spent in the park in
stead Of in church, saws the New
York Post. There must be some at
traction" they said.
'.There is the backslider admitted.
Il go there because I want to hear
real church music, and that is the
only place can hear it. The car
fousaI comes under the Sunday con-
cert lev. and plays nothing but church
tunes on the Sabbath day. It has a
special Sunday program Of twelve
tunes. 1t plays The Sweet BY and
By. Am I a Soldier Of the Cross,
Where Is My Wandering Boy To-
night. Sweet Hour of Prayer and
eight other good old tunes Of the
same kind 1t does my heart good
to hear EN-. like 'em. always did.
They are not often sung in church
any more. That's why go to the
park instead"

The American Accent.

There is no such thing as the Amer
lea accent" except in few words such
as ADVERTISEMENT, wherein America is
superior as to pronunciation and prac-
tice.
Nor does the American born man
talk through his nose" ,Fhe real diff
ference that we all notice is a. differ
ence in the general pitch of voice. The
American voice is pitched in a slightly
higher key than the English, and here
you may find the reason why the
American assimilates French so easily
Put roughly, the case is this: The
Frenchman talks from his palate, the
American from the top of his throat
the Englishman from his chest and the
German from his diaphragm. London

AN OFFENDED BISHOP.
The Way Fond Mothers Joke ON
Her Son Went Astray.

ed Mrs. Spaulding cordially us her
guest came down to breakfast, suit

when he arranged to have you stay
with us on your way through the city.
But what does this lnggag mean

turned the bishop. II must go right

"Oh. that makes it doubly unfor-
tunate that had to be away last even

explanation? The friend was called

would understand, but the fact that

comfortably and that you rested we'll.
thought you must have been weary
when | came in at 10 and found you
had retired"
The bishop replied politely, but there
was an odd constraint in his manner
which lasted until he had bowed him
self out of the house after breakfast
What can be the matter?" puzzled
Mrs. Spaulding as she watched the
distinguished gentleman stalking down
the street "Dick was so anxious he
should like us!"
Then a sickening thought struck her,
and she darted up the stairs.
1t had been Mrs. Spaulding's custom
during the boyhood of her only son to
correct his failings by posting about
the house little placards which gently
pleaded with him on the error of his
ways. A week or two earlier, when
Dick was coming home for college
vacation she had unearthed some of
these old signs and just for joke had
pinned them up in his room, like old
times They had been taken down
later, but she remembered now that,
after being summoned to the sick
friend the morning before, she had led
her new-and not brilliant-maid to
Dicks door and had said: 81 want
this room swept and arranged for Bish-
op Maxwell exactly as we did it for
Mr. Dick last week Do you under
stand?"
With wings on her feet Mrs. Spauld-
ing flew to the room the bishop had oc-
cupied, but at the threshold she paused
and gasped.
On one Of the pillows was staring
notice to this effect: please put your
bed airing in the morningv' Over the
mirror, please don't spatter the glassv'
On the window curtain. please don't

placards, the 'Please" underlined three
or four times in each, but-horror OF
