THE GAELIC TONGUE.

Peculiaritles Of the Language Of the
Highland Scotch.
There are In Gaelic no neuter nouns.
They are al either masculine or feml-
nine. Sun. moon, star, tree, rock, stone,
etc, are feminine nouns, sky air bird.
Gsh, house barn, etc, are masculine.
A hill is masculine; a mountain, femi-
nine The ocean IL masculine; the sea
Is feminine. Strange to say, the word
for "a female Is a masculine noun
aud the word for "a manservant' a
feminine Rut these two curious ex-
ceptlons stand practically alone.
In the construction Of sentences
Gaelic Is very different from English.
People who know enough about the
language 10 make dangerous nse Of 1t
will ten 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 llle adjective. Thus, IL
you were going to say "A wise man
shuns egil companions you would ar
range your words ID This order shuns
d man 8lse companions evil This
way Of putting the verb At the very
beginning Of sentence Is really bet
ter than having It follow Che noun.
Being the word Of the sentence, Il
stands in its proper place 10 the
highlander English IS the language
thnt IL spoken backward.

Figs at Tarpon Springs.

The editor of the Tarpon Springs
News says:
Within few feet of Our office last
spring a tiny shoot sprang up re-
sembling a fig tree which we watched
with some interest and which grew at a
very rapid pace, developing into mag
nlflcent specimen, reaching at p11sent
a height Of nine feet, and a beautiful
green, healthy color A citizen wan
dering into our office a short time ago,
noticed this tree from a window and
inquired as to it's origin, ETC., but dis
cOuraged us when he told us his and
others experience concerning fig rails
ing. He says that the soil here is not
adapted to this fruit from the fact that
the roots become SO entangled that
they die before they get old enough to
bear If this difficulty can be overcome
there is indeed a fortune in it for
someone for the climate is certainly
in their favor
eve have never known Of single
tree, standing by itself in the open
ground, which matted it's roots together
sufficiently to cause any injury. We
feel sure that the cause of death OF
fig trees in that locality, is root knot
1t is difficult enemy to fight, but can
be overcome. 1t can be starved out,
by keeping the soil free from all plants
upon which it will breed. Then be
careful not to infect the soil by plant
ing anything containing the nematodes.
If you have the soil cleared, and wish
to grow figs send for cuttings, they will
grow almost as quickly as rooted trees,
and cannot be infested by the nema-
todes Try it.-Ed Fla. Agriculturist.)

MARKETING ORANGES.
An Apt Illustration and a Sensible
View of the Subject.

A correspondent of the COurier-In-
dormant, writes a very sensible letter
on this subject. We believe that the
suggestion is a good one and that our
citrus fruits will not reach their pro-
per place in the market until something
of the kind is done. 1t is very true
that standards differ greatly and one
mans fancy would hardly pass for
standard in another packing house.
The Courier Informant says:
have been an interested reader Of
the articles published in your paper
concerning the Florida Orange Grow
ers' Company
| was much interested in a descrip-
ton of the method of marketing prac-
ticed by the Oregon apple growers
which appeared in the Rural New
Yorker some three or four years ago.
Oregon apples have for years COM
manded a higher price than the fruit
from any other section, bushel boxes
sometimes bringing more than barrels
of fancy New York State fruit This
writer explained the secret Of these
fancy prices. 1t is mostly a matter Of
marketing.
To begin with these Oregonians
raise a very superior apple. Next,
they are we'll organized But the
principal thing that contributes to
their success is the care used in grad
ing The Association has fixed stand
ards for grading. Only two grades are
used, No. and No. g. No small fruit
is shipped. No grower is allowed to
pack his own fruit, the claim being
made that no man who is handling his
own fruit can be trusted to rightly
throw out every imperfect apple The
fruit is all packed in the Association's S
packing house by the official packer
thus insuring uniform grading OF
every lot and establishing in the mar
ket fixed standard for the brand.
Now if we are to get the $500
per box DR.. Peacock is holding for,
wouldn't it be we'll to establish some
fixed standard of grading. Leave it
to the growers and there are as many
standards as there are growers. One
mans brights will be as dark as an
others golden russets. Some packers
who never brand box russet have as
dark fruit as any. think an asso-
citation pack with the name Of the
association stamped on each box 50
packed will be one of the best ways
to get and keep good prices
Here's hoping Dr. Peacock gets
his $500 per box.

Marriage.

Marriage is of date prior to sin it,
self-the one relic of paradise that is
left us--a smile Of God on the worlds
innocence, lingering and playing still
rpon it. 1t was first celebrated by
God himself and thus religion blessed
her two children. and led them forth
into life to begin its wondrous his
tory. they learned to love him as
the sealer and interpreter of their
love to each other; and if they had
continued in their uprightness, life
would have been permanent form
of welded worship, sacred mystery
|of spiritual oneness and communion.
Horace Bushnell.
God has set the type of marriage
everywhere throughout the creation.
Every creature seeks its perfection
in another. The very heavens and
earth picture It to us.-Luther.
The institution of marriage keeps
the moral world in being, and secures
it from an untimely dissolution
Without it natural affection and am
iableness would not exist, domestic
education would become extinct, in
dustry and economy be unknown, and
man would be left to the precarious
existence of the savage. But for this
institution, learning and refinement
would expire, government sink into
the gulf or anarchy; and religion
hunted from earth, would hasten back
to her native heavens-T. Dwight
Marriage has in it less of beauty
but more of safety, than the single
life; it hath not more ease but less
danger; it is more merry and more
sad it is fuller of sorrows and fuller
of joys; it lies under more burdens.
but is supported by all the strengths
Of love and charity; and those bur-
dens are delightful. Marriage IS the
mother of the world. and preserves
kingdoms and fills cities and
churches, and heaven itself.-Jeremy
Taylor.

War.

"And, then, think of the deaths and
the heartaches. If these men who are
crying loudly for war could see and
hear a battlefield, and could think OF
their own sons as there, it might hush
their barbaric enthusiasm a little
Think of the hundreds and thousands
of men, their bodies torn, mangled
in every conceivable way, trodden
over by the infantry ridden over by
the cavalry, wounded, neglected, cry
irg for cup of cold water, thrilling
through every nerve with pain,
dreaming in their agony of the loved
ones at home Then go to the rear
and see the surgeons at work-see the
piles, perhaps, of arms or legs tossed
out like wood chopped and piled up
N yard. Then go to the hospitals
and listen to the means of the sick
and dying; see the pale cheeks and
the lack-lustre e-es; what wounds,
gangrene and decay-and remember
this is war; No matter how righteous
the war may be, it is somebody's faith
ers, it is somebody's brothers, It is
somebody's sons that are going
through all this"

Train Speed indicators.

Concul Frank w. Mahin writes
from Nottingham that shocking rail-
way Academies in England during the
last year due to excessive speed at
points where the rules required re-
duction, has caused a demand that
speed indicators be placed on loco
motives of all passenger trains. The
consul says:
1T is argued that the Salisbury ac-
cident would not have occurred if a
speed Indicator had been before the
eye of the engineer. In the Grant
ham disaster, where the train should
have stopped at the station, but rush
ed past and was derailed at a switch
set for branch line, the inquiry
turned on the point whether the train
brake had been set, but no one was
alive who could answer. 1t is stated
that certain speed indicators showing
air pressure in the brake reservoirs
would have made this clear Such in
struments, it is reasoned, not only
help explain accidents and to locate
responsibility, but are manifestedly a
check upon engineers who might
otherwise speed train to disaster.
st is said to be literal fact that
not half dozen English locomotives
are provided with efficient modern
recording speed educators, whereas
on the continent about 10000 are in
use. There, it is said, they are prac-
tically compulsory on all passenger
locomotives and in some countries
every mainline freight engine is also
provided with one. A law in France
and laws about to be enacted in Hol-
land and Belgium require every pas
senger locomotive to be thus equip
ped within given time. Speed indi-
Gators, on the continent, it is stated,
are considered as important as steam
gauges on boilers and automatic
brakes. on trains. The engineer, it is
reasoned, would no more disregard
the speed indicator than the steam
guage and therefore only as the re-
suit of mental alteration could an
accident occur from neglect of the
railway company's speed rules"

sIandering the Clearly Hog.

An exchange prints some Of the
old rubbish about a hog being filthy,
arguging that hog meat is not fit for
food A hog is not one whit more
filthy than cow or horse. Pen
up one of the latte animals, feed it
on swill and give it as little care as
is given hog and it will become just
as 1oathsome. A hog likes to roll in
the mud; so does horse or cow The
owner of horse cleans him off, how
ever, while the owner of the hog lets
him clean himself by rubbing against
barn or fence. Allow the hog free
range and clean food and he is as
clean and sweet as any beast of his
size. He has better odor than eth
er the horse or COW and his meat is
the best that comes on snybody's
table, not excepting chicken meat.
