dictionary will learn II. It has had the APP
proval of philologists for many years and Is
employed in scientific papers. 1t describes
sounds with precision. Simple as 1t is,
however, II certainly has not been accepted
or learned by the general public who may
be expected to use these dictionaries any
more than the simple changes in phonetic
spelling advocated by the same phi ologists,
and we fear that the pronunciation figured
here will prove as meaningless to most
students as though II were marked In
hieroglyphics.
That is a pity. for no higher authorities
can be found than Prof. Paul Passy, who
marked the French sounds, and Prof.
George Hempl Of the University Of Michi-
gan, who marked the English. Both are
militant phoneticians and may be counted
upon TO give the prevailing pronunciation,
regardless Of tradition. II the key alphabet
can be mastered, this dictionary marks
great step in advance, so far as pronuncia-
ton is concerned.
The other improvements on which
the editor. Mr.. Robert Morris Pierce, des-
cants complacently seem Of more doubtful
expediency. Perhaps the inclusion Of ir-
regular infexions may aid those who have
neglected the grammar, but they, we
fancy, have no business with the dictionary.
The intelligence which fails to comprehend
that cieur il the plural Of eiel, or that got
is the past Of get, can hardly grasp the COM
plications Of the phonetic table. There
is a noble scorn Of etymology which may
be the outcome Of modern phonetics.
The editor Is very contemptuous Of the
devices for saving space and putting facts
under appropriate heads which most die
tionaries employ. The result so far as we
can Judge in this case, is the omission OF
much matter which properly belongs TO a
dictionary. Blank spaces might well have
been filled with more definitions and par
ticularly with more idiomatic expressions.
The result is a mere school dictionary when
there was room in the volume and demand
from the public for comprehensive vo-
cabulary of the language.
The typographical dress Is excellent;
the three faces Of the type used are good
and clear, and the paper, while thin enough
to bring 800 pages into a handy small
quarto. is opaque and tough.

4 Stronrhold Of the Devil.

1t is possible that the reader will not be
quite breathless at the opening part Of
Sir William Magnay's story Of A Prince %
Lovers little, Brown d Co., Boston,.
When the hero pumped the organ so that
the heroine might play he was almost GER
tainly guilty Of an offense, 1t is not likely
that she played in a manner to soothe a
listening world II she did solace the
nerves Of the fastidious, we beg her pardon
and implore her 70 continue and him TO
keep on pumping. Presumably it is to
her credit that she played in a church on
of days when there was no congregation.
We have often thought Of plenty Of music
that it ought to arise in an unpopuiated
area.
The point Of the organ playing in this
story is that it was really dangerous 10 the
performers. The wish 10 kill musicians Is
not uncommon, but Hie actual killing of
them is infroquent, as sufferers can attest.
In spite Of their deserts they are apparently
immune. In this tale the lady who played
the organ was a Princess and the gentle
man who pumped was a King travelling
incognito. Such a combination is unusual'
we dare say. Perhaps We had better be
patient, and not stamp and rare, as we
certainly should do ordinarily.
The justifable feeling Of the reader,
that a suborner Of music Is in &c extreme
danger and that man who pumps an organ
for lady need still not expect to be taken
of inoontinently, is Offset here by the cir
cumstance that this lady had political inn
portance, that she was an object Of attention
and solicitude on the part Of the State and
that the man who assisted her in the accom-
plishment OF music in a lonely church needed
to be approved by the Prime Minister, a
jealous and practical person not at all sus-
ceptible 10 the persuasions Of pure romance.
Our hero had to stop pumping the organ
and run away. Doubtless his head would
have been forfeited If he had remained.
But the reader who has tolerated music
will hardly be moved by the emergencies
Of the tale till he comes to the experience
Of the hero and the heroine in the castle of
Count Irromar, the robber nobleman Of the
Devils Forest. 1t was lucky enough that
the pair ever came out Of this Infamous
stronghold, which was dovetailed into the
rock Of the mountains in the most ingenious
and secure way. Fortunately it occurred
to the deliverers to batter down the front
door instead Of bothering themselves with
the rocky and impregnable doyetailings.
It seems as though there we're always some
way for Justice to triumph over the power
Of wrong, and we were glad and not sur
prised when the castle in the Devils Forest
was tumbled down. The devil Is weak
when the generous novelist takes him in
hand. A great story, judging by our own
emotions during its perusaL

The influence of climatic conditions in
the cure of consumption is very much
overdrawn. The poor patient and the
rich patient, too, can do much better at
home by proper attention to food di-
gestion, and a regular use OF German
Syrup. Free expectoration in the morn
ing is made certain by German Syrup,
so is a good nights rest and the absence
OF that weakening cough and debiltating
night sweat. Restless nights and ex
haustion due to coughing. the greatest
danger and dread of the consumptive,
can be prevented or stopped by taking
German Syrup literally and regularly.
Should you be able to go to warmer

benefited and regain strength are those
who use German Syrup. Trial bottles,
