THE GAELIC TONGUE.
PeeuIiarities of the Language of the
 Highland Scotch.


 There are in Gaelic no neuter nouns They are ali either masculine or feml- nine. Sun, moon, star tree. rock. stone, etc, are feminine nouns; sky. air. bird, fish, house. barn, etc, are masculine. 4 hill is masculine: a mountain, femi- nine. The ocean Is masculine; the sea is feminine. Strange to say, the word for "a female" is a masculine noun and the word for a maDseryant' q feminine. But these two curious ex- captions stand practically alone.
 In the construction of sentences Gaelic Is very different from English. People who know enough about the language to make dangerous use of it will tell you. for instance, that in Gaelic you have to talk backward. By this is meant that you do not begin by using the same word that you would begin with in English. In Gaelic the verb comes before the noun and the noun before the adjective. Thus. if you were going to say "A wise man shuns evil companions" you would ar range your words in this order: "Shuns a man wise companions evil" This way of putting tine verb at the very beginning of sentence is really bet ter than having it follow, the noun. Being the word of the sentence. 1t stands in its proper place. To the highlander English is the language that is spoken backward.

Just Keen On.

When today's difficulties oyershadow yesterdays triumphs and obscure the bright visions of tomorrow, when plans upset and whole years of effort seem to crystalline into a single hour of concentrated bitterness, when little annOyances eat into the mind very quickly and corrode the power to view things calmly, when the jolts of mis- fortune threaten to jar loose the judg- ment from its moorings, remember that fin every business, in every career. there are valleys to cross, as well as hills to scale; that every mountain range of hope is broken by chasms Of Encouragement through which run tor rent streams of despair!

sTAKED HIS VIOLIN.
The Incident That Cured the Great
 Paaanfni of Gambling.


 Pasanini of Gambling.
 When Nicoio Paganinl was only f1f- teen years of age. 1t is said. he left his fathers house and plunged into reeS- less life of dissipation and gambling At times his losses at the gaming tahle even compelled him to part with his violin. This occurred at Leghorn. where he was billed for d concert A resident French merchant and anna teur M. Liyron. hearing Of his dilem- ma. loaned him Joseph Guarnerius When Paganini went to return it after the concert the enthusiastic Frenehman exclaimed. Never shall my hands pro fane the instrument which yours have touched.' aud presented the violin to the vlrtuoso. This became Paganini's favorite violin and is the one he left to the city of Genoa, where 1t Is exhib- lted in the municipal palace. The threatened- loss of this instrument cured him Of gambling. According to Paganini himself. his meahs had been reduced at the gamisg table to a few francs, and he felt that be would be obliged to accept a standing offer for his much prized Guarnerlus. made to him by prince who greatly coveted 1t. As a last desperate chance of saving his precious violin he staked what llt- tie money he had left on one play and won. But the risk he had run gave him such fright that he quit the gam ing table for good and all.

 G|VE UP LAND GRANT
Oregon Says He Never Earned 5000. 1000 Acres Given
 Southern Pacific.

WASHINGTON. June s.-Senator Bourne of Oregon. after & talk with the President revealed that he is after E. If. Hartman and the SoEth- ern pacific railroad to compel the re turn to the Federal government of 0eO. .000 acres of land in Oregon granted to the railroad on terms which have never been complied with.
 Senator Bourps,s plan of proceed ings in the Emitted States courts to compel the southern Pacific to sur render snese lands. They were grant ed uader a solemn pledge that they would be open up for settlement. This fhe railroad company has refused to do. holding them for speculative pur- poses.
 .The southern Pacific road origi- nally got a grant of coco 900 acres, said senator Bourne, with the under standing that the lands should be ooened uD for settlement at $3 per acre. Instead of doing so, great deal of it was sold in parcels at sl5 an acre. and the best of 1t was with held from settlement altogether. What the railroad company intends to do with 1t. of course, is q matter Of con lecture, butI suppose it is being held for speculation. Some of it is worth slO0 an acre now. In the meantime the progress of the country is very greatly delayed by the policy of the road.
 The following official statement was given out tonight:
 'sThe Department of Justice for some time has had under considera- ton the question of certain lands held by the Southern Pacific company in Oregon under grants to railroad com panies which have been absorbed by the Southern Pacific. A preliminary report on the matter has been made by Nathan " Harlan, United States Attorney. third division of Alaska. who has been engaged in the investi- gation. while absent from his post Of duty on account of Ill health. Mr. Harlan win now return to Alaska. and the Attorney General will designate B. D. Townsend. Assistant United States Attorney, at Fargo. N. D.. to carry on the work if Mir. Townsend can arrange to leave his official du- ties for that purpose"

Banana Leaves.

Banana leaves serve many useful purposes, for of them are made tough paper from the thinnest tissue to thick brushes. mats and hammocks. Millions of pounds of banana fiber, misnamed manila hemp" are each year brought to the United States or taken to Flu rope and spun into cordage from the fineness of silk up through the size of twine to the blgness of mammoth ca bles, and many dainty handkerchiefs and bits of fine lace have been woven from the fibers of banana leaves by the delft fingers of the women of South America and of the far cast.

it Is Difficult For a Fire to Burn ln
 the Sunlight.
 Did you ever know that fires don't burn as well in sunlight as sthey do in the shade or at night;r asked my friend. the man much given to hunting and fishing. ~0f course they don't seem 10 because of the greater light from the sun. but I mean as an actual fact they don't l noticed this thing when on a hunting trip up In Maine first, and how it happened to attract my attention was that the fire went out, totally out. before the sticks were entirely consumed. The wood was dry and resinotis, and there was no reason why every particle of it shouldn't have burned. The guide told me he had no- ticed the same sort of thing innumer. able times when fires were burning in the sunlight. and this started me on an investigation which proved in actual practice that open fires not only don't burn 50 well when the suns rays are shining on them and fail to throw out as much heat by thcrnomctric tests. but often are actually extinguishcd by the sun if the rays are bright and strong enough. Coal fires are affected just the same as wood. Strange to say. several scientists to whom I have ap- pealed asserted that the suns rays could have no effect whatever on a fire. They do. however. know this beyond all shadow of doubt and wonder what the reason is. Other sci entlsts say its because the heat Of the sun adds to ihe consumption of oxygen of the atmosphere whicii is necessary to blaze and also produces carbon. which helps to extinguish the fire.''- New York Press

 Malt is barley-grain, sprouted and partially grown. Most malsters force this pro- cess in three or four days time.

f large, the expenditure of about $2O,- 1 000,00 for additional great war
 vessels being authorized. This mon
 ey will be spent directly among the
 American people and will be a fac | tor in their prosperity.
 The usual apprehension is being
 felt that Congress will not be able
 in the few days left of this session
 to complete it's necessary work; but ! here again Speaker Cannon inter- poses a word which indicates that
 no difficulty of that kind need be
 anticipated
 'We will finish our york; said
 he, "and when we get through ad- l journment time will be here"
 Among the leaders of both the l Senate and the House there is no thought of an extraordinary ses- sion to attend to work that may re- l main unfinished when the Congress shall expire by limitation on the 4th of March. A deal of talk usual ly is expended in the early part of 1 any session of Congress, but when
 adjournment times approaches bus.
 mess is disposed of at an astonish- ing rate of speed, particularly by the Senate.
 When a full account of the work
 is taken, it will be found that the
 Fifty-ninth Congress is one of the most memorable in the history of the country. Lines of precedent have been broken and results have
 been achieved that, few years ago, would have been impossible. This, in the opinion of members of Con- jgress themselves, has been due in considerable part to a change in the spirit of the people, but no small portion of the credit is given to

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, D. C., Feb. 2S.-
 harles Foster of Ohio, then Secre-
 ny of the Treasury, once replied
 criticism of the Democratic op-
 bsitiOn to the effect that the appro-
 fiatiOns of Congress (two ses- ons)shad aggregated nearly bill |apn dollars by saying:
 This is a billion-dollar country" :"
 Were Charles Foster now Secre- Ary of the Treasury he probably ould answer similar criticism qy saying: "This is two-billion- ollar country"
 In any event, that is substantially
 hat 1t amounts to. The appropria-
 ops of the present session of Con-
 ress will Aexceed by more than
 100 900, ,oNQ those of any previous -ession in the history of the coun- ny. If they should be as great next
 ear as they are this, the two-bil- ton-dOllar mark practically will lave been reached.
 The appropriation bills have pro- :ressed sufficiently to indicate that very one of them will exceed in | he aggregate of the money appro- |,riated in any similar measure that kver was enacted into law. This is Hue, 1t. is explained by members of Congress and as must be evident to my observer who follows the trend bf hetimes, not to extravaganza on he part of Congress, but to the phe- komenal growth of the country.
 America has really become a |two-billion-dollar" country. In the last ten years the country has ex- banded in a wonderful degree. Not lnly have the needs of the people |ncreasedx in a governmental way, but thei4 capacity to supply these leeds alSo has increased cores ondingly Enormous appropria- ions have been made by Congress It thaSpresent session, but they are (o larger than the receipts of the 1overnment fully warrant. Speak (r Cannon, who, of all men, could lot be- charged justly with extrav lgance; said day or two ago that he Government was a great and krowi1g business, the expenses of Fhich naturally increased as the usiness increased.
 That was his way of accounting or tho increased appropriation au- |horixed by the Congress. Of course, he pr4sent Congress has authorized |xpenditures than really cannot be |harg6A to the development of the ountfy, such as the fifty per cent |ncreAae in the salaries of Senators Ind Representatives the 15,0O0,- loo increase in the pension roll, and |ome Mems in the river and harbor pill; but, as Speaker Cannon ex- )ressedK1t, "they all make for the |ettern of the condition of the
