A LESSON IN GERMAN.
Follow It Closely and You Will 0ed
 How Really SimpiJ its Is.

Among the Hottentots (Hottentoteu in German) the kangaroos (Beutelratte) are found in great numbers. Many of them wander over the country freq and unmolested; others, less fortunate are taken by hunters and put inta cages (Kotter) provided with covers Nattengitter) to keep out the rain. These cages are called in German Lat engitterwetterkotter and the kanga. roo after his Imprisonment takes the name of Lattengitterwetterkotterbeu- telratte. One day an assassin (Attens tater) was arrested who had killed . Hottentot woman, Hottentotmutter the mother of two stupid and stutter. ing children in Straettertrottel. This woman in the German language is en- titled Hottentotenstraettertrottelmut- ter, and her assassin takes the name Hottentotenstraetter The murderer was confined in a kangaroo's cage = Beutelrattenlattengitterwetter- kotter-when a few days later he es- capped, but fortunately he was recap tured by Hottentot, who presented himself at the mayors office with beaming face.

Single as We'll as Married Women
 Once Carried This Title.
 A curiously awkward word, if 1t bo a word, is Mrs" It is not spelled as it is pronounced-no one but Welsh man or a Pole would>be equal to pro- nouncing it as it is spelled-and its pro- nunciation is clumsy contraction Of the good old English designation ''mis' tress."
 In the days of old, when leisure had not become, as it is now, almost for gotten luxury and people were less anxious to clip their speech. the full pronunciation was often used. and mistress" was not altogether elbowed out of existence by the vulgar ''missis."
 But nowadays mistress" has drop ped out, and consequently the con tracted pronunciation of Mrs." has prevailed and holds the field.
 Another point worth noting in the history of the designation Is that about 150 years ago and earlier Mrs" was applied quite impartially to unmarried as we'll as married ladies' Even chil- dren were sometimes styled Mrs"

But this may be regarded as an exceptional use of the title.-St. James Gazette.
