DANCES of Using Slang In Business
Intercourse with Foreigners.
Illustrations of the disadvantages of
cultivating local vernacular and slang
In ones own language are sometimes
brought sharply home to business men,
rs was the case in a letter received the
other day by a New York firm from one
Of their own correspondents in the far
east, which read in part as follows,
saws Shipping Illustrated:
VIII you kindly send us 2 modern
dictionary of American language, rs
we are unable to understand some of
the phrases in your letter Writing on
the til ultimo, you say, for instance:
DO not let MessrS. 60 hand YOU a
lemon in this deal If they try it on
pitch one for fair right over the plate
to Mr. --, and if he foozIes cable --
for solar pleXus.' The terms used
are foreign to us and we entirely fail
to comprehend their significance"
Another incident similarly llIustra-
tive occurred on board Il big liner in
New York a short time ago when
representative of Shipping Illustrated
was conversing with one of the officers
Have you been often in New York"
asked the visitor
NO. This is my first trip" was the
reply.
You have been running to other
Notwithstanding ports then. You
speak very good English" suggested
the visitor.
No. This Is the first EngIish-speak-
Ing place to which I ever came"
May ask where you learned Eng
1ish?"
in school at Sebastopol We had
good professor and l understand YOU
very well, but many of the people here
with whom I speak I cannot under
stand SO that I have supposed the
American language is different. 1 am
told by some Of the other officers who
do not speak English. but who speak
French or German, that people here
who speak those English languages
speak the same as at home, but Eng
lish here seems too large a language.
One cannot understand the words. Peo-
pie say things and laugh and am puz-
zled. but do not comprehend"
The moral of such incidents IS obvi-
Gus If business men are to take adj
vantage of the fact thar English is now
more widely spoken abroad than any
other language, they must be at pains
not to becloud their meanings by the
use. especially in correspondence. OF
slang phrases which have merely local
significance

NO DANGER OF
COAL SHORTAGE.
There Is Now Plenty of Fuel at the
Head of the Lakes-Up to
Railroads Now.

SUPERIOR, Wis. Aug. 16.-There
is no danger of a coal shortage in the
territory tributary to the head of the
lakes if the roads entering here are
able to handle the business the coming
winter.
Coal receipts up to the present time
have broken all records and there is act
uaIIy on the docks at the present time
about 100000 tons. Meanwhile ship
ments are good for summer and the pros
poets are that before the close of navi-
cation the docks will have sold more
coal from Superior and Duluth docks
than ever before during the same sea-
son.
For the three months previous to Au-
gust 1 this year the Superior and Du-
luth docks shipped into the northwest
more coal than ever before i'll that same
period and nearly double the amount sent
out in the same three months Of 1906.
This year from May ! to August /,
total Of 1914 cars has been shipped as
against 2S,549 in that period 4 year
ago.
The roads are rushing in new trackage
and yard facilities and the Great North
ern will next week have in operation
its big new freight transfer shed here
which, it is calculated, will relieve that
road of the congestion of general freight
experienced last fall.

The Chameleon GosbevI,.

know no bird which passes through
50 many changes of plumage and color
OF eyes as the goshawk. \ young one
which have mounted is about the size
OF small hen and is covered with

l coIored the eyes exactly from life
When fully grown, the first plumage
IS dark brown above and the eyes are
pale yellow. No one would be likely
to suspect this being a goshawk who
had seen only adult birds. Later It
changes to the dark slaty blue of the
adult, and the eye, after passing
through all the intermediate changes
in color from straw yellow, orange vel
low and pink, finally assumes the deem
rich red OF the adult. I know no other

CORNISH TREASURE FOUND.
buried Gold Found by Farmer
Claimed by the Duchy.

Mr.. De Castro GlubO, coroner, held
an inquest ut Liskeard guiIdhau yes
terday on thirty-one gold coins, found
buried In Trebraze farm yard near the
town. The coroner stated that no sim
liar inquiry had been held in Cornwall
for at least one hundred years.
If the jury found that the coins were
treasure trove, he said, they would be
claimed by the Duchy Of Cornwall,
who no doubt, would deal generously
with the finder, as was the practice Of
the crown. James Croker Goyett, son
of the owner of the farm, described
how he found the coins while cleaning
the farm yard.
His mothers family, he said, had
owned the farm for years. and he pro-
dUced a document dated July IS, 1745,
relating to the finding of 551a guineas
in the floor Of the barn by John Croker
and Dorothy, his wife. Mr.. Volk. jew
eler Of Llskeard, said many of the
coins were rare. Eight were Portu-
guese milrels, dated 1852 to 1925. The
remainder were English, the most an
cient being three gold units, or 20 shlll-
ing pieces. of James I. and Charles l..
while the rest were guinea pieces dat
ing from 1850 to 1925.

Last Visit of Scourge.
The last visit OF the plague IL America
was in 1901 when forty-two deaths re
suited from it i'll San Francisco out &c
fifty eases. The same year there were
375 fatalities in the Philippines out of
49T eases.
When the plague broke out in San
Francisco in 1901 the health authorities
placed the whole of Chinatown i'll quar-
"ntinc. At that time the Wisconsin
hattleship party was on the coast and
they were prevented from seeing the
Chinese district by reason of the dis
covery of several cases of plague.
Something About Disease.
Contrary to the general impression the
plague is not caused by filth, over
Crowding, diseased grain, or foundations.
1t is always caused by the presence of
plague bacillus. The bacilh are found
in pairs or singly and in cultures ar
ranged in chains. The lower animals,
especially rats, are infected in large
numbers from the dust of pest-laden
houses. The unsanitary conditions in
which the afflicted people live give ample
opportunity for the direct and Indirect
transmission Of the disease. Flies are an
important agent i'll transmission. The
germs may enter the body either by the
skin surface, through cracks or wounds,
or by the respiratory passages.
There are two types of the plague, the
most common of which attacks the
glands, which swell, causing the most
terrible pain. The other works its poi
sonous effect in the lungs mostly.

FEWER SALOONS
BUT MORE BOOZE,
43,400, a Decrease of 3071-
100000 More of Beer.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. IL
Especial. According to the preliminary
figures on the internal revenue collections
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1907,
there was collected from retail dealers
in liquors $96937 less than in the pre-
viOuS fiscal year. As the retail liquor
license is $50 this means that there
were approximately 3071 fewer saloons
III the United States at the close Of the
hscal year just passed than there were
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1906
This is almost double the number closed
in 1906. At the same time there are
still a few open for the work of the
antl-saloon league, there having been
24o,4OO liquor dealers in the United
States at the beginning of the last fiscal
year.
More Booze Made.
The decrease in the number of liquor
dealers does not show any corresponding
decrease in the amount of int0xicants
made, however, but on the contrary there
has been an increase. There were ,093,-
GSS gallons of spirits distilled from fruit
during the year, which is an increase Of
212, lO4 gallons. There were 13I. Ia, or
gallons Of spirits made from other prod
ucts than fruits, during the year, which
IS an increase Of ll,IO9,2 % gallons
It may be said however, in this CON
nection that the dcnuturizcd alcohol law
probably accounts for a large proportion
Of this latter increase
Billions of Cigars.
There were 400, 14I, 1913 cigars.
weighing over three pounds to the thou
sand used in the United States during
the last fiscal year, which is an increase
of 315, 1888, $40 cigars. Taxes were paid
on 1852, 133, 1926 cigars, weighing less
than three pounds to the thousand,
which is an increase Of JG,266, 900 little
cigars
Ask the average man whether there
are more cigars or cigarettes consumed
and he will say that there are more
cigarettes, and yet as a matter of fact
there are 3,00O,OOO,OOO more cigars than
cigarettes on the national smoke bill for
the year There We're yaxc-5 paid on
:. 100, $50, 1870 cigarettes Of three pounds
and less to the thousand an increase of
] JG3, 90. 917. Those weighing over
three pounds to the thousand amounted
to 10,1JO,227, an increase OF 5,6G5, 537
1t is to be said, however, that these do
not include those rolled by the smokers
themselves.
Tobacco Increases, Too.
Taxes were paid on 3,4O1 1876 pounds
Of snuff during the year, which was 81
increase Of G93,GJS pounds over the pre-
viOus year. Taxes were also paid on
3S9, 126,3O3 pounds Of smoking and

Of 14.27O,SO4 pounds over the previous
year.
There were G8,988, $50 pounds Of cleo
