De sign Accepted

The Andersonville prison monument commission has selected a design for a monument for the men from Connecticut who suffered in the prison, 1S61-5 The successful design was that made by Bella Pratt of Boston. It represents young soldier standing at attention, dressed in the garb of union soldier, with Mo Clellan cap and a blouse. The dedica- tion will be in the spring of 1907. The statue is to be of bronze of heroic size and will correctly express the sentiment and uniform of the period. As appro- priate to prisoner of war. the figure will show no weapons or equipment, but the statue will picture dignifed but dejected prisoner. The committee has viewed great many designs, but that of Mir. Pratt is in all respects the best. The statue will be erected in the national cemetery at Andersonyille, and the ex- ercises, no doubt, will be impressive.

The Danes and Britain.

John Ackworth, an English dialect novelist who made special study of the dialects of Lancashire, Yorkshire, the east coasts and also of the Danes. shows that the Danes by their early landings and sojournings In England have influenced the language of the east coasts of Britain to an extraor- dinary degree and that the Danes and the British. in spite Of apparent diff ferences, are one practically in speech and language as well as in the rela- tionship of blood. "So strong is the English of the east coasts of England impregnated with Danish" John Ack- worth once said, that I am sure that If a fisherman from the east coasts of England were to be wrecked on the shores of Denmark and he would only speak In his true native dialect that fisherman would be able to make him. self understood"

The owner of the farm in question is Anthony Florian, evidently foreigner, who for few years has owned what is known as the Samuel Allen place, located on the highest point in town. Formerly the place has only made living besides paying the taxes. Now since Mir.

New York Entomologist Says They are
 Responsible tor Introduction of
 Brown Tail and Gypsy Moth.
 The recent increase in the use of automobiles is largely responsible for the spread of insect pests, according to K. P. Felt, the New York state entom- ologist. Just now New York state is threatened with an invasion of the gypsy and brown tailed moths and in an effort to head these pests off MT. Felt is sending cards to postmasters throughout the state Illustrating. the moths ill various stages of growth. Postmasters are asked to post these cards in conspicuous place in their offices.
 In his letter accompanying the placard MT. Felt says: "This matter is of vital inn portance to all residents of the state as the gypsy moth, pest which has caused losses running into millions of dollars in Massachusetts, has already escaped from that commonwealth to New Hampshire on the north and into Rhode Island and Connecticut on the south, and is steadily making its way westward. Experience has shown that automobiles are very active agents in transporting the insects and with their increased use in recent years no one can forsee where the pest may appear next The brown tail is of more recent introduction, and unlike the gypsy moth, flies readily. It is not only destructive leaf eater, but the barbed hairs of the caterpillars cause very severe irritation on the skin"

Ancestral Memory.

As I walk along dark, lonely road my ears are on the alert glance to right and left. look over my shoul- der. Where did I learn this habit? May 1t not be the memory disk giving of its record? My savage ancestor learned by long years of experience to be specially on his guard in a lonely place and in the dark. When my in- dignatlon Is thoroughly reused I find my hands clinch. there Is a tightening of the lips. the teeth are more plainly visible, and the whole attitude is sug- gestive of making a spring. Here Is trait of early man. who gathered h.n- self together and sprarg upon his en- emy to rend him with tooth snd claw. I have often noticed that when people use the word offensive" 1t Is accom-, panied by q culver of the rostrils and an involuntary movement of the nose. The imagination Is still haunted by that piece of very offensive ca-rlon which my primitive ancestor with q prejudice for raw meat found too strong for him. so strong that his nose rejected 1t at once.-Nineteenth Cen tury.

Cheapest Place to Live.

''The cheapest place in the world is Antioch" said a globe trotter. Il once passed a winter there, and all 1t cost me, though I leased a fine house and kept three servants, was S4 week. Antioch is in Asia. on the Medi- terranean. The climate Is all right for winter-as good winter climate as Monte Carlo, Palm Beach or Los An geles. For my house I paid s month rent. My servants I paid 90 cents a week. Mutton cost 8. cents a pound. Eggs were cents a dozen. Chickens were cents apiece. Fish cost a fifth of cent a pound. The finest of fresh fruits and vegetables fresh fruits and vegetables in Febru- ary-were so cheap that they were not sold in quantity. You got all you wanted for so much a week. All l wanted for my household cost me a quarter weekly. An American resi- dent of Antioch told me that he and his family lived comfortably on S1Io a year."-New York Press.

How to Learn n Foreign Language.

One may begin the attempts of Tree expression, and thus an Independent use of the language. with a compara- lively small vocabulary. Conscientious reading anu well conducted conyersa- tions will then quickly enlarge the vo- cabulary and develop the facility of e. pression. But cannot lay too much stress upon tie fact that the free and exact rendering of oae's own thought in writing Is the most efficient exercise in acquiring a language. In mere coa- versation we are apt to slip over dih- culties by permitting ourselves vague ness and inaccuracies of expression which would sternly demand correc- tion-and correction, too, easily kept in mind-when the written words look Us in the face. To quicken the efficacy of this exercise requires, of course, a teacher able not only to pound gram matical rules into the head of the pu- pill, but also to stir up h the study of the language a mentally active Inter est in the subjects spoken or written a0out.--Carl Schurz's "Reminiscences In McClure's.
