LACKS EMOTIONAL BREATH.
Conversation in London Society Has
Nasal Twang.


Nasal Twang.
The average conversation in London
society sounds like the rappings of
telegraphist, says Dr. Reich. From
sound it becomes thud or phenom-
enon of acoustic mud. The Londoner,
unlike the Partisan, has never been
known to give his language the ele-
gance and pointed grace that made
Paris ever since the days of the Hotel
Rambouielett, the seat and home of
the finest diction in France. In Eng
land, many people think that the best
French is spoken in the TOuraine.
Quelle plague. To hear French at its
best one must hear it In Paris, in the
town where beat both the heart and
the intellectual pulse of France.
London has never been the heart Of
England. The intellect without the
heart is a flame without heat. Such
an intellect becomes rapidly blase, cold,
caustic, Byzantine Having reached that
petrification, it molds itself an idiom
cold, blase, nasal, choppy, unmusical
and graceless; it becomes COckneyfied.
Have the etymologists, those great
students of words and small under
ISLANDERS of language, ever inquired
into the causes of the constant mis-
placement of the sound in Cockney
talk? l doubt it; yet there is half the
psychology of Cockneydom. The less
emotional a people becomes the more
it talks from parts of the head. instead
Of from the breast-just as the most
emotional instruments are broad and

Origin of Plug Tobacco.

In the jury room at the court house
a few days ago farmer said, as he
took chew of tobacco:
"All the difference in the world in
tobacco. I've tried some twenty diff
ferent kinds, and none is as good as
that we used to make ourselves down
on the farm. We would take a maple
log while twas green and bore a dozen
holes in it with a two-inch auger
They were our molds. We selected our
choicest tobacco and soaked it for a
week or more in wild honey. Then we'd
take the leaf to the log, get a good hick-
DRY 'tamping' stick and go to work.
"A little ball Of the honey soaked to-
bacco would be put IN an auger hole
and tamped in with the stick and q
hammer. We'd pound it in solid. Ball
after ball would be rammed in and
bounded until the whole became a
solid plug When the hole was nearly
full we would pound in the plug and
then the log would be put away to
season. AS the wood dried the moisture
would be drawn from the tobacco. And
when it was split the sweetest tobacco
ever made was taken from it. We call
ed it plug tobacco and that's where
the name originated. kansas City

pectoral, instead of elongated and heady.
In the New World, whether in the
United States or in Central Or tsouth
America, the nasal twang may be heard
in English, Spanish. or Portuguese
alike In the New World people have
an incomparably less intense and less
complicated emotionality, if at times
a more violent one, thah have the older
nations in Europe. Hence their heady,
nasal voices. If. now, we apply this
fact to the Londoner, we need notwon-
der that his dsemotional soul Is un-
able TO muster sufficient pectoral
breath for proper use of the hes. He
ma giles them as he mangles polysyila-
bles for want OF emotional breath.

An Easy Plan 10 Collect Old Clothes
Tried in an Uptown Street.
Here is the story of graft so sim
pie and effective that some enterpris-
ing stranger to work should patent it.
says the New York Sun. 1t was prac-
ticed by a New York genius and had its
try-out on the respectable upper west
side of this city.
The originator set out dressed rs a
workman, his clothes rusty, but neatly
patched Arriving in the neighborhood
ne had decided to work, he stepped into
an areaway, and. hauling out a knife
slit the right leg of his trousers from
hip to knee.
Next he produced a newspaper,
spread it out and held it over the slit
in his trousers. Leaving the areaway,
he hurried along the sidewalk, making
apparently a great effort to hold the
newspaper in place.
The wind was blowing, and whoever
cared to look noticed the mans predica-
ment. At the steps of big house in
I'D street he stopped and pretended
to tie the paper about his leg. By a
perhaps not very strange chance, since
the hour was 3 10 p. M, the owner of
the house appeared.
The CRATER greeted the man briefly,
lifted the newspaper and remarked:
Il just had an accident over on Co
lumbus avenue. Truck showed me
against a stake and tore me pants
awful. Wonder if you could lend me
some safety pins?"
1t was successful. From that house
the man carried away not only a read
lily saIable pair of trousers, but a hat
and coat as well. A quick trip to a
corner saloon to deposit his bundle and
the tale of the torn trouser leg was car
ried to another house IN the block.
An observer with more sheer curl
osity than police instinct watched the
collection of six bundles from six
houses in I'D street before he reluct-
antly left the window and went in to
dinner.

DR.. Arthur D. Little, addressing the
American Chemical Society recently,
mentioned some interesting instances
of the immense contributions of chem
istry to the work and wealth of the
world. The steel industry, he said, Is
to-day, at every point, under the strict
est chemical control. Abram s. Hew-
lit estimated that the BesSemer proc
eSS alone added, directly and Indirect
ly, $2,0OO,0OO,0OO yearly to the worlds
wealth. Chemical processes Of making
madden and indigo colors have changed
the face of those industries. One-half
of the entire consumption Of indigo is
now produced in German chemical
plants. Ultra-marine Is now furnish
ed by chemistry at half the price of
copper, whereas, in the form Of lapis
laZuli, in the days of Liebig, it was
dearer than gold.
Ekeberg, the Swedish discoverer of
tantalum, gave that name to the metal
because of the tantalizing difficulties
that he encountered while investigat-
ing it. 1t is only recently that tanta-
lum has been obtained in q state Of
purity, and the rapidity with which It
has been produced, in response to the
demands of commerce and industry, Is
almost unprecedented. 1t furnishes an
excellent filament for electric lamps
Only a little while ago the mineral
from which tantalum is obtained was
so rare that not enough could be found
to supply specimens to all the miner
illogical museums. Now Australia
alone produces more than seventy tons
of tantalite year. This does not seem
very great quantity, but it is to be
remembered that a single pound of
tantalum suffices to furnish $4,000
lamps, each of 25-candle power. The
metal is so hard that it is said that a
diamond-pointed borer, making 5000
revolutions a minute, produces in 1t,
after three days of work, an excava-
ton only one-fftieth of an inch in

These are his sentiments, with some
very emphatic words left out.

Here is a publication which has in
utmost disregard of the facts, spread

the Religious Press and others and has
suffered those false statements to go
uncontradicted, until, not satisfied
after finding the Religious Press too

Perhaps Golfers with it's utmost

such letter exists. Nevertheless it is
on file in our Office and is only one of
