ENGLISH GRAMMAR.

A careful study of the following
may prove helpful to the amateur
student of grammar:
A gurund is verbal noun end.
ing in ing, 1t has some of the
functions of both the nonn and
the verb 1t may be an ad7srb,
and when derived from transitive
verk it may govern a noun or pro.
noun in the obi :otive case. By
some authors the gerund is called
the infuitive ending in ing. This
difference is difference in name
only, as the form of the word and
its use in the sentence determine
its class. Neither the gerund nor
the infnitlve expresses new ideas,
80 they are not new parts of speech.
One is liable to confuse the
gerund, the present participle and
the abstract noun ending in ing.
This can be avoided by observing
the following directions:
~ If the word performs the
function of an adjective it is a
participle: The officer command.
ing the French at Quebec was
General MontcIam.
(2) If the word performs the
function of a noun it is a gerund
or an. abstract noun. The abstrsot
noun is preceded by an article:
Boosting is easier than doing.
(gerund.) The making of a watch
requires skill. (Abstrsot noun. J
The same word may be used in
all three relations:
~ Seeing the officer the rob.
Der fed. (partioiple.)
~ Seeing is better than be.
lisving. (gsrund.)
The seeing of the battle was at.
tended with great danger. (sb-
strsct noun.)
The only method. of determining
to which relation a word ending in
ing belongs. is by determining it's
function in the sentence. A care.
full analysis ofthe thought will en-
able you in all cases to reach the
right conclusion TEACHER.

Several parties have asked US
whether under the late law pro.
tecting birds, any exception was
made of Grows and whether it was
a violation of law to kill them.
By reference to section 9 of
chapter 81 of the Acts of 1907 it
will be seen that the English or
European house sparrow, great
horned owl, sharp Skinned hawk
and Cooper Hawk are not included
among the birds protected by this
act."
According to this anyone killing
GROW is liable to q fine of FIVE
dollars or may be imprisoned for

MOONEY TOOK THE LEG ALONG.

Again We note the woes of q
man with a peg leg. In the Com
mon Pleas Court at Dayton, Ohio,
last Saturday, Edward Duwd called
upon the clerk and demanded his
right leg The heart breaking
circumstances causing this de-
msnd are as substantially as fol.
lows: Dowd had loaned his leg
to Mike Mooney. Mooney was
indicted by the grand jury. and
walked on a peg leg. In order to
make good appearance in court
Mooney borrowed Dowd's artificial
leg. Mooney was found guilty
and sentenced to the penitentiary
and took the leg along. 1t is
hardly probable that Dowd will
get back his leg, as the theory of
the law is that when a man is sent
to the penitentiary the sentence
includes his leg as much as his
arm, and thus, as it stands, Dowd
will have to awsit the expiration
of MONEYS sentence to recover
the leg, by which time it will be
fit only for the junk pile. Such is
life in the aristocratic orioles of
peglegdom, and suoh are the woes
that infest the path of artificial
progression.

II is very easy matter, requiring

trees, until, when rounding the point,
the great amorphous bulk of n moose
looms large in the middle distance.

steal forward each time his head goes
under water in search Of the tender
roots, until within easy range says n
writer in Recreation. Thus | have nd.

were out al dusk In their canoe, float

on rounding a point saw a moose a
short distance ahead They were IN.
armed, but felt no fear, for they eX.

would turn and make or into the
woods. Nearer and nearer they glidcd
until with the rush OF an avalanche
he was upon them. There was moth

and swim, which they did, reaching
safety on the opposite bank. After
smashing the frail canoe into pieces
the moose calmly went ashore and
disappeared In the woods.
