From the Scrap BOOK.
| For the last 30 or 10 years a good many
persons have been trying to simplify the
accepted spelling OF tho English language.
They say thu its f~rregularity Is a STUN
bling block TO foreigners who wish to
learn IL, and that II IL. moreover, In uselt
illogical. 1t is rather remarkable that TO
one has suggested simplifying the gram
NAUTICAL and verbal forms, since these ara
much more irregular and difficult tnan
the spelling. To say II am II was" II

ent forms belong to the single verb DE"
is strange enough. So In the present tense
OF the same verb. We say II am, you
are" HE is" A really scientific language
would let the verb run: II am" You
am" He ans" Twenty centuries ago
the A~lexandrian Greeks formed "A scheme
for getting rid OF the irregular verbs In
their language. but. naturally. the people
at large stuck to the old usage. The tr-
regularity OF English. however. Is more
marked thar that in any other tongue;
because we nave drawn upon so many
different sources-Auglo-Saxon, Norman
French. Latin, German. Italian, Greek ana
Spanish. not to mention stray contrlbu-
lions from Turkish and Hindustani. The
apparent absurdity OF our noun system
is very we'll set forth in the following
clever rhymes written by some one who
has preferred to remain anonymous:
Wen begin with a box, and the plural is
boxes,
But the plural OF OK should be oxen, not
oxes.
Then one fowl is a goose, but two are
called geese,
Yet the plural OF moose would never DO
meese.
You may find a lone mouse, or a whole
nest OF mice,
But the plural OF house is houses. not
hice.
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called
pen
Then cow in the plural may sometimes
be kline.
But a bow II repeated is never called bine.
And the plural OF vow IS VOWS, never vine.
II / speak OF a foot. and you show me
your feet,
And / give you a boot-wOuld a pair be
called beet?
II one is a tooth, and a whole set are
why couldn't the plural Of booth be called
beeth?
II the s~inguiar's this, and the plural is
these,
Should the plural of kiss ever be nick
named kese?
Then one may be that, and three would be
those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be hose
And the plural OF cat Is cats, not cose.
We speak OF a brother, and also OF
brethren,
But though we say mother. we never say
methren,
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his

The Harnsssina Of the Nile.

From the New York F1nancier.
on the 9th OF February the khedive
of Egypt officially declared open the
Esneh barrage, or dam. across the
Nile. thus making effective n OF the
most gigantic engineering feats or o
ern times. This dam is some distance
north Of the Assuan barrage; the con-
struction work of the Esneh was peSuh
after the Nile food of 1890, n III was
carried forward with such energy tnat
IL was completed more than IL months
h efore the time limit of the contract.
II was an Anglo-Egyptian
enterprise, labor was cheap ana unre-
strjcted and hence uninterrupted prog
resS was made.
The first step in this enterprise was
the building Of the Assuan reservoir,
| no miles from the sea, which reservoir
10 canable of impounding two n one-
| third billion tons OF water for delivery
| at the lower reaches OF the river when
reouired: at intervals below the As
| suan are smaller barrages TO control
| the water level. and the Esneh is the
last of such barriers to be completed.
In the dam at Assuan are huge gates
! that omen at the touch of a button;
daily a wire from Cairo informs the
| engineer in charge Of the barrage how
much water will be needed, the gates
| are opened and the water flows along
the hundreds Of miles Of river and the
| Thousands OF miles of irrigation canals,
contributing to the nourishment OF the
earth and to the deposit OF rich mud
highly fertilizing vegetation.
One result of the completion OF this
| enterprise will be an enormously in
/ creased acreage OF the hitherto arid
and reproductive area, two crops-one
Of cotton and sugar will be raised in
the summer, and grain In the winter. A
thousand years ago the Nile valley was
rendered fruitful by floods which over
flowed the banks. and. subsiding. left
their fertilizing deposit: when the over
flow was liberal the people Toasted;
when, however, IL failed, there were
famines, and since Joseph's day there
have been periods of feasting and fam

of the Nile flood. The design Of the
reservoir and the dam construction
was to provide such artificial devices
as would always make the Nile de-
pendable for the uses which nature In
tended to provide for the benefit o!
man: the constructors have not alone
realized their expectations. but demon-

Promise of Stability.

The new Cuban republic Is inaug-
urated with some promise of stability"
said Charles Cassidy Cook, a New York
attorney to "A Washington Herald re-
porter.
During the Spanish war Mr.. Cook
served In Cuba as a captain of volun-
teers, and has written much on the po-
litical and Industrial conditions of the
island. In the late Cuban insurrection
he was legal counsel for the junta in
New York.
President Gomez is able and popular,
his cabinet is to be composed of gentle
men Of high character, and the new
congress will be made up of distin-
guished lawyers, successful merchants
and astute politicians" continued Cap
tain Cook. THE Cubans as a class are
patriotic and law-abiding. There are,
however, the chronic revolutionists
among them, who. unfortunately, can
start an instruction on slight pre-
text.
Yes, there are breakers ahead for
the Cuban ship of state. The Cuban
politician has our own political work
er's penchant for government jobs. The
island supply greatly exceeds the de-
mand; the disappointed office seekers
will soon create a storm. Foreign cap
ital In vested in Cuba is tempted to
foment trouble, believing resultant an
nexation to the United States will en-
hance trade and values. The Spanish
commercial element wan the aegis of
our flag and closer business relations
with the country. The success of the
new administration is dependent upon
the influx OF foreign capital, profitable
employment of the enforced idle, the
education of the ignorant masses, the
suppression OF the many forms Of pub
lie gambling which devour the meager
earnings of the working classes, and in
creased foreign markets for Cuba's
products.
''Our ceuntry's Industrial and com
merciaI prosperity, as well as Cuba's
would be materially enhanced by a
more equitable commercial treaty en-
abiing our merchants and manufactur-
ers TO enjoy the bulk of Cuba's foreign
purchases now had by Germany,

about that time. 1t stimulated me and

After three or four years OF coffee
drinking | became a nervous wreck and

After being married, Husband

feared that 1t had already hurt me al
most beyond repair, so l resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
