Pr0nunciatinn-

How does your teacher instruct you
to pronounce the word humor? Does
he or she say that the III should be
sounded or that yumor IS the right
way? 1t is strange how the authori-
ties differ about this word. Websters
International, the Standard and the
Century dictionaries all say that the
III should be sounded, by preference,
but they give yu-mor as a secondary
pronunciation. Worcester prefers w
NOR, but allows the 'sh' sound. OF
fifteen authorities quoted by Worcester
ten prefer yu-mor. 1t is worthy of
note that Webster's Dictionary, in the
edition of 1885, calls yu-mor a grossly
inelegant pronunciation, and yet the
later editions allow it. This shows
that the yu-mor pronunciation has been
growing all the time, which may rea-
sonably be attributed to its euphony
and ease of utterance Exchange.

GRAMMAR GAME.

Any Number Can Play, and 1t Makes
Lots Of Fun.
Paper and pencil are necessary for
this game. which can be played by any
number OF children.
Each player writes a noun at the top
of a paper and turns it down and then
passes the paper to his right hand
neighbor, who writes a verb on that
paper, turns it and passes it on as be-
fore; then an adjective is written, next
time a pronoun. After the papers have
passed round three til.as (the process
is repeated as described above they
are coiiec ted and shaken up in hat
or in sons other Convenient way, and
each player draws a paper and is given
ten minutes to write a para sraph OF
sentence containing the words. With
the words on the paper may also be
used as many times as necessary the
articles a, an and the, the conjunctions
and, but, etc, also propositions and
adyerbs. Proper names may be used
for nouns when desired, and the verb
may be used in any form. Here is a
sample paper.
Noun, Bench. Adjective, Tooth
Verb, To giggle. some.
Adjective, Gorgeous. Pronoun, Fe.
Pronoun, l. Noun, Rhinoceros.
Noun, Polly Verb, Puf.
Verb, Was. Adjective, Silky.
Pronoun, Her.
Sample sentence from the above
words:
He and I were on the bench giggling
at gorgeous Polly when a silky, tooth
some rhinoceros purred at her.

POISON IVY.

The noting of several serious cases of
ivy poisoning this year suggests that
some little account Of the plant might
be in place for the benefit Of those who
may not be well acquainted with it.
While poison ivy is quite often found
in the woods, it seems to prefer road
sides, fence corners and scrub brush
pasture lots. 1t differs from the Vir-
ginia creeper, with which it is often
confused, in having three leaves, while
that has five. The poison ivy leaf is
also broader, of a smoother surface and
possesses a more regular edge. A fact
that increases the danger from it IS
that its leaves turn to a beautiful va
riety Of orange and red colors in the
fall, equaling those of any other shrub
or tree. and it is often picked by the in
experienced who delight in gathering
the highly colored autumn leaves. AS
is true with the sting of bees and bites
Of other insects, many people do not
seem susceptible to poisoning from CON
tact with the ivy leaves, With others it
is a most virulent poison, they being
so sensitive that the presence Of the
viae in lots adjoining the one in which
they live will cause an outbreak on their
face and hands, although there is ab-
solute evidence that they have not
come in physical contact with the plant
itself One VINO has suffered much
from this method Of contracting the
poisoning tells us that he has found
nothing that gave so much relief as
bathing the affected parts in warm
sweet milk. The remedy is ineypen-
siye, cannot possibly be harmful and
would seem to be worth trying. The
children in the home should have the
ivy pointed out to them and be given
instructions to let the three leayed
sprawling vine alone, no matter how
brilliantly colored or attractive it's
leaves may be.

1t is said that a photograph may be
quite effectively developed by means
Of tobacco smoke Nothing is seen on
the paper, which is previously pre-
pared, until it is held in the smoke,
when the picture gradually comes out
in strong black and white. The prepa-
ration consists in the treatment of a
small photograph on chloride Of silver
paper, which is dipped into a solution
of bichloride Of mercury so as to
bleach it and make it disappear. 1t is
necessary to prepare the photograph
without gold. The bichloride of Iner-
curry changes the photograph partly
into protochloride of mercury, which
is also white, and thus renders it invis-
ible on the white paper, but if it be
exposed to anmoniacal vapor, of which
tobacco smoke partly consists, the inn
age will appear. Our young folks who
are interested in amateur photography
should make the experiment Chicago

THE sIGNBoARD NUISANCE.

The farmers Of northern Indiana and
southern Michigan are to be commend
ed for taking the initiative in a much
needed reform, while their action will
result in an increase of business for
the newspaper in the territory in which
they reside. They have declared war
on the signboard method of advertis-
ing which is SO generally in vogue over
the country and have formed an organ
ization the duty of whose members is
to see that every signboard is removed
from their premises and to prosecute
merchants who in the future may tres
pass on their property. The farmers
claim that the. signs not only mar the
looks of their places but that much
damage is done to trees and fences
while the signs are being posted up. a
resolution adopted by the organization
commended the newspaper as the
proper and legitimate means Of com
municating advertising information to
the people.
