The difficulty Of English for stran.

but in its pronunciation. Abroad peo-
pie Will constantly say that they can
read and write English readily. while
unable TO utter a word or to under
stand a word OF the spoken language.
as, Of course. vice versa, great many
English and Americans can read and
write French long before they can IN
derstand or make themselves under
stood The other languages are Just
as difficult for them to pronounce as
English Is for others. The only diff
ference is that English stands alone
with fits system or lack of system Of
pronunciation. When a Frenchman

guage. II not beautifully. at least so
as to be understood. The same holds

The Planet Mercury.

Though Mercury Is one OF the small

most troublesome to the astronomer.
II lies so close to the sun that Il Is

very eccentric. and II experiences dis

bodies In a way not yet fully under

been found In the attempt to place
Mercury In the weighing scales. We

A Quiet Rebuks.

An "object admonition" like the one
described by Warren Lee Goss In his
article. Campaigning to No Purpose"
published in Johnson's Battles and
Leaders Of the Civil War" is often
more efRcacious than storms Of re-
proach.
One day the colonel Of the regiment

badly soiled pair Of gloves.

you set the men such a bad example as
appearing before them in dirty gloves?
Why is it?"
