"None Is" or "None Are.p?


All the friends of liberty of speech
owe gratitude to Prof. Lounsbury of
Yale for his defense in Harper's
Magazine Of the use of none" as the
subject Of plural verb. What idiot
precisionist it was that started the
movement to schoolmaster that use
of none" out of existence we do not
know, but his effort has had deplor-
able degree Of success. An awful ex.
ample ought to be made of some OF
the grammarians who try to make
language conform to rules instead OF
making rules conform to language. II
will take years to u~.wist the tongues
Of worthy people who have compelled
themselves to say none is" wher
their consential impulse was to say
none are."-Harper's Weekly.

Educating Children,

Forcing the youthful mind is a
practice no longer obtaining in schools
of the best standing but not yet OBJ
solete in many of the common
schools. In schools which represent
the dominant ideas of education to-
day, stimulation, interest, suggestion
prevail, and driving Is avoided. II
there has been some leaning toward
the prosaic, there is now fresh in
terest in stimulating the emotions,
and a full realization of the need of
many things conventionally not class
ed among the useful, says Golfers
Weekly. The greatest problem Of ed
ucation unsolved to-day relates to
girls. Heretofore their education has
been mere copy of that long ago
established for boys. Some day a
genius will come along and conceive
thoughts that shall form the basis of
an education which shall help girls to
all their best possibilities, without
dissipating their strength on lines OF
effort established for natures in some
respects entirely different.

SIGNIFICANCE OF MONEY SIGNS.
English Terms Derived from Latin

English Terms Derived from Latin
Words-Doliar Mark.
They were discussing the other af-
ternoon the question of currency SYM
bols. The discussion had started by
some one making a casual remark
about 81. s. d." referring, of course,
to pounds, shillings and pence" says
the Washington Star. The question
arose why some of the coins were de-
noted by letters that had nothing at
all to do with their selling, and there
was not one in the crowd. though
there were some nominally well-in.
formed people present, who could tell
the significance of the letters till the
question was looked up. 1t appeared
that the pound sterling mark was
simply a capital L. with line drawn
across the stem. 1t came from the
Latin word ''librae." meaning pound.
The I'd" used for the penny came also
from the Latin. meaning "denarius,
originally small Roman silver coin,
but later having developed into a
generic term for money and specifi-
cally for a small copper coin of in
significant value.
The "lb" mark also used for the
avoirdupois pound. came from the
same word "librae" as in Saxon
times the pound avoirdupois was the
same weight as a pound sterling OF
| silver and the shilling was one-twen
| tieth of this, making the old shilling
| about three times the size of the
| present one.
| When it came to the dollar mark
s." there was more discussion, there
being half dozen explanations fol
this sign. But the most likely seemed
to be that it was simply modified
figure 49," there having been eigh
silver reals in the old Spanish dollar
or piece of eight" in use in THU
country long before the introduction
of American currency.

The Maiden 1 nxe

The meadows hide their summer green
Under veil of gray;
A mist rolls DER the sunny sheen;
1t is drear. dull day!
The dewdI ops tip the blades with beads
That shine like costly gems;
The roses hang their blushing heads
Meath giittering diadems.
But, bark! sound of silver bells,
Echoing Ger the woody dells.
A little laugh. sweet clear voice
Which makes my beating heart rejoice.
she comes. a fairy from above,
A little maid, whose name Is Love!
The morning mist now. rolls away.
The sky Is bathed in light.
A golden sunshine crowns the day,
Ny loved one is In sight!
The birds sing out their songs again.
The flowers all bloom anew.
And music swells in joyous strain
From out the heavenly blue.
She comes. and everything Is bright.
She comes amid the golden light.
All nature once again Is gay,
It Is the brightest summer day!
She comes-a fairy from above,
A little maiden whose name Is Love,

BLACK AND RED HAIR ARE AKIN.
Idea to the Contrary, Long Held, Is
Wronu.


The color of the hair, says the
Grand Magazine, is usually transmit
ted from parents to child. This is
especially true when both parents
have the same complexion. Instances,
however, are not uncommon where
children have hair black as ebony.
while the hair of both parents 10 a
burning red Instead of disproving
the theory that a child takes after
its parents so far as the color OF the
hair is concerned. this fact, 1t has now
been ascertained, is all in favor Of
the doctrine. Red hair. in fact. Is by
its structure and composition much
nearer to black hair than to blond.
Very often, IL the hair OF a very
dark complexioned person be exam.
ined attentively, a few quite red hairs
will be detected In the mass. On the
other hand, 1t would be time wasted
to seek for black hair in the locks Of
fair person. Similarly it is not In
frequent to notice children whose
hair, red at birth, becomes as they
grow older quite dark. When. too
after some serious illness. the produc
ton of the coloring pigment of thu
hair falls off, black hair becomes no
blond, but red. Fair hair, which to
casual eye appears to have mucl
more affinity to red hair than t.
black, is. on the contrary, quite dis

INSURANCE MEN MET
AGENTS FOR LIFE COMPANIES
 FORM ORGANIZATION.
D. W. Gre~ory, Chairnian of Montgom-
 cry Ut terwriters Association win Confer With COun- ell Rs to License.

Tho general and district life insur- arace agents located in Montgomery met yesterday in the offiee of D. W. Greg ory, agent for the New York Life In- surance Company, and organized what is to be known as the Montgomery Underwriters Association. Such an. or ganixation has been in the minds of the agents of Montgomery for many years but 1t did not take anything like defin- ite form until the meeting yesterday.
 The purposes of tho Underwriters Association are the same as those or other associations in other cities. The agents felt that the time had come for them to get together and promote better mutual understanding as well as protection. The sentiment of the gath ering was that the agents should be better acquainted with one another and the promotion of business, 1t was felt, would be best served by the organisa- tion.
 Mir. Gregory was elected chairman of the meeting. Something more than an hour was consumed In the discussion or the present. status of the insurance business in Montgomery and the plans for organizing the Underwriters As- sociation. A resolution was passed au- thorizlng the chairman to appoint a committee to be composed of himself and two others to frame constitution and a set of by-laws for the Associa-
 tion. It is expected that the commit
 tee will get to work and prepare an in- strument for basis of permanent or
 ganization by the end of next week.
 The general or district agents or ev-
 cry old line company in Montgomery
 will be invited and have already piedg- : ed membership in the Association, ana all local agents will be urged to Join.
 It Is hoped to get every memoer or
 the profession in the city to Joih: At the meeting yesterday Chairman Gregory was authorized to appoint a committee of five with himset as chairman 10 confer with the Finance Committee of the City Council With re- gard to licenses imposed on insurance companies and their agents by the Council. The committee was appointed by Chairman Gregory as follows: E. J. Never. of the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company; c. G. Miles, of the Phoenix Mutual Life; K. F. Ds ter. of the providence Savirsys Life; J, l.. Harris of the New York Mutual Life. and E. J. Well, of the Travellers The Finance Committee of the Coun- ] ell has before it two ordinances fixing the license tax of life insurance com
 panies on a percentage basis. One, it is understood, proposes to tax each com many with 1 per cent. of the gross premiums collected annually'in the city. The other provides for per cent. or the premiums. The 1 per cent. Is the equal of the license imposed by the State.

THREE ROOF FIRES.
Residence of Jake Weaver on Heron
 street is Damaged.

Residence of Jake Weaver on Heron
 street is Damaged.
 Three fires yesterday within four hours kept the Montgomery Fire De- partment busy.
 The only fire, which resulted in any great damage, was that at 9:l2 o'clock yesterday morning which destroyed the roof or the two-story residence at 32S Heron Setreet, owned and occupied by Jake Weaver, we'll known railroad man fhe' damage Is !. tiniated at from $500 to S1.0U0. Mr. Weaver carried $1.00O insurance on his residence but had none on his furniture.
 The fire originated by sparks from the chimney falling on and igniting the roof. The fire had gained much headway and the blaze had spread practically all over the roof before the fire was discovered and an alarm was sent in from box No. IS. The Five Points and Madison Avenue Stations immediately responded and, on arriving, quickly stretched two lines of hose and soon had the fire under control.
 Practically all of the furniture on the first floor of the residence was saved but the furnishings of me second story were considerably damaged by water
 While the firemen were at the Her ron street fire, another alarm was sent in. by telephone from the two- story frame residence or Mrs. J. T. Sheehan- at 305 North McDonough Street. Those firemen in charge of the Heron Street ffrA.. remained there and the McDonough Street fire was answered by the Scott Street Station and the truck company. Sparks had also set fire to the roof of the Sheehan residence and before the blaze could be put out with Babcocks, q small hole was burned in the roof, the damage being about S10. The house is owned by J.. T. Roberts.
 At 12:50 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the department was cEiled to a one story frame house at 276 South Jack son Street, owned bS La Fayettc Curtis, and occupied by Nose Pete. g negro. Here also she roof was slightly damaged by sparks from the chimney.
