Asparagus.

No word illustrates the changeable
fashions of the English language more
curiously than asparagus" No one
could call it sparrow grass" nowadays
unless he did not mind being thought
an ignoramus or a tiresomely funny
man. Yet all through the eighteenth
century that was quite the regular way
of referring TO the delicacy even in ele-
CANT society. a dictionary of 1871 says
that sparrow grass is now so gem
eral that asparagus has an air of stiff
ness and pedantry.' "Sperage" has
been the usual English form in the six
teenth century, but in the seventeenth
herbalists brought back the original
Greek and Latin spelling asparagus.
Pepys varies between sparrow grass"
''sparagus" and "'sparagus." No doubt
the eighteenth century's relapse was
the last, and the "a" is back for good
now.-London Chronicle.

Don't Know Lords Prayer.

A fashionable gathering of members
of the Church of England, attending
The opening of bazaar at Bath,
shocked the archdeacon of Bath ca
thedral who opened the function. by
their lack of acquaintance with the
Lords Prayer. The archbishop point
eddy rebuked the gathering, saying it
was a very solemn thing to him to
find how much the company needed
Christian instruction. He added: 81
really did think that those here would
know the Lords Prayer, but if, they
know ii they do not know how to say
it. Thereu0on he invited those not
acquainted With the prayer to come 10
him and he would teach it to them.
The lecture acted like an ice douche
on the throng.

Wouldn't Do in Catholic Churches.

zone feature which I noticed espe-
ciaIIy in a recently opened church N
the city was the large number of small
pews--pews intended for two persons
only" was the comment of an old New
York churchgoer the other Sunday.
"NCw. fifty years ago the majority of
the pews held six persons comfortably,
and sometimes more. There may have
been a few of these two-seated pews.
buc they were necessity because Of
the Interference of a pillar, and there
were never more than six or eight OF
these small pews in an entire church.
In the church 1 speak of I noticed two
rows Of them, extending the entire
depth of the auditorium. l couldn't
help but think of the good old times
when the entire family went to church
in a body and filled a long, old-fash-
toned pew. And ] got to wondering
what the new two-seated arrangement
stood for Is it The outgrowth of the
apartment living, race suicide and all
the other evils one hears of, or is It
old fashioned now for children to az
company their parents to church -

sherman's March to lac Sea.

A curious contribution to history is
Contained in the installment of Mark
1'wain's Autobiography in the cur
rent number of the North American
Review. 1t is General Grants own
opinion in regard to the inception IF
Sherman's march to the sea.
1t was expressed by General Grant
shortly before his death. III converse
ton with Mark Twain. who wrote it
down at once on leaving him.
Neither of us originated the idea Of
Sherman's march to the sea. The enc

He went on to say that the enemy
Necessarily originated a great many Of
the plans that the general ON the oppo-
site side gets the credit for.
IN this case, Sherman had d plan all
thought out, of course. He meant to
destroy the two remaining railroads in
that part, of the country, and that
would finish up that region. But Cen
cral Hood made a dive at ChattanOo-
ga. This left the march to the sea
open to Sherman. and so. after sending
part of his army to defend and hold
what he had acquired in the Chatta-
nOOga region, he was perfectly free to
proceed with the rest of it through
Georgia. He saw the opportunity ana
he would not have been fit for the place
if he had not seized 1t.
He wrote me- (the general is
speaking) what his plan was. and I
sent him word to go ahead. My staff
were opposed to the movement =
The chief of staff, the general said
even went so far as to go to Washing

and get the ear of the authorities, and
he succeeded in arousing their fears to
such an extent that they telegraphad

Comment Of Leading Newspapers on ;
Variety of Toptes-The
Cost of War.

Los Angeles Times.
"A significant little item appeared re-
Gently in the papers in the shape Of a
dispatch from Portsmouth, : England,
stating that so British swarships, rep
resentlng an ordinary outlay Of $780,
100000, but condemned for presentday
warfare, had been sold for s4OO,OOO--
less than one cent on the dollar Of
their cost. Probably these ships were
not SO very antiquated either, but a
modern war vessel is soon out Of date
in this costly International game oil
''beggar my neighbor." Yet, a little
torpedo costing perhaps couple Of
thousand dollars, may destroy in a few
minutes a fighting machine that costs,
with equipment, five millions.
Money is to-day the chief factor in
deciding between peace and war. 1t is
the big bankers like the Rothschilds,
the oppenheim, the Earrings and the
Morgans that hold the balance of pow
er. The first Napoleon said that arm
ies fight on their stomachs. This is
as true to-day as it was then. It takes
an lmmense amount Of money to sup.
ply an army in the field, not only with
food, but with ammunition and other
necesarles. The outlook for a war be-
tween the United sttaes and Japan
would, undoubtedly, to-day be far less
reassuring did the, japanese not have
that immense debt hanging over their
heads.
The Hague Peace Tribunal is good
thing, in its way, but there are two
factors that will do vastly more to
bring about general peace than any
dellberation on part of these interna-
tional diplomats. These are, first the
increasing cost OF modern warfare, and
second, the increasing deadliness Of
modern methods Of destruction. When
we come to a point where dirigible air.
ships may hover in safety over an
army, or a city, and wipe men and
buildings out Of existence at theIlr
leisure, fighting men wifi hesitate be-
tween their patriotism and their love
of life, however anxious governments
may be to fly at one another's threats.

Senator Rorah,s rrlaI.

New Bedford Standard.
Senator Borah, of Idaho who focus
ed the eyes of the whole country a
few weeks ago as the special and bril-
liant counsel of the government in

center Of attention as the defendant
against an indictment charging him
with completely in land frauds. Mr..
Borah will come to trial on Septem-
Der 90 in the same State in which he
acted as prosecutor, but before fed

Idaho is understood to be vigorously
in opposition to the laws which the
Senator Is alleged to have violated,
and on that account alone some diff
Guilty in securing conviction is ex-
