COULDN'T STAND THE EPlTHET

In an upper West side street,

same reason-the children of near

there is stoop which is the object
of their special and fostering care.
It was Sunday afternoon and the
urchins are foregathered in great num-
bers, big and little, but they sprawl
upon the steps of stoop to which
they have no right, and in such lordly,
authoritative fashion that the real
occupants hesitate about mounting to
the door. 49,

Pet Mispronunciations.

"Have you ever noticed" asked the
teacher in English, chat great many
well-educated people persistently pro-
nounce at least one word incorrectly?
I know college man who for some
mysterious reason always says "tim-
odity" for timidity, and he drags this
oddity into almost every sentence he
speaks. Mrs. Smiths pet word Is
"predujice," while Mrs. Jones can't
help saying "guijantic." Just listen
to them, and you'll hear the same peo-
pie repeating over and over such mis-
takes as "predeliction," .circutuous, /"
"cupolo." ETC. Some one must have
called their attention to it, I suppose,
but they have grown attached to their
way Of pronouncing, and don't like to
change"

Curious Properties Of Minerals.

~
Certain minerals exhibit the curl
GUS optical property known as aster-
Ism. That is to say, they show . star
shaped figure when light Is reflected
from them, or transmitted through
them. This 10 seen, for example, in
the star stone. sort of sapphire, and
in the star ruby. A note in Knowl.
edge describes and figures the aster-
Ism Of mica. The photograph OF a
lamp taken through plate of mica
shows a beautiful six-rayed star, with
six fainter radiations between. Out
wardly star mica resembles the ordi-
nary form and shows the same phe.
nomena under polarized light. When
examined under the microscope, how
ever, the star mica is found to con-
tain fine needles of another mineral,
and these are regularly arranged at
angles Of 120 degrees. To these nee
dies the star seen by transmitted light
Is due.

When the

The afternoon was extremely warm.
even for the middle of June, month of
roses. Occasionally team ratified
along the bluff, and the hoarss call of
a steamer whistle echoed across the
water. The white sails Of many
schooners, sloops and small boats Of
every sort dotted the sound.
About mile from shore little
yacht was beating close up into the
wind. Jack Gilmore sat in the stern,
with one hand on the tiller and the
other braced behind him, his duck
trousers shining in the sunlight and
his blue tennis shirt setting of a
tanned, good-looking face and muscu-
lar brown hands. He seemed almost
to have forgotten the girl opposite
him. But she did not resent his appar-
ent Indifference and was looking out
over the water, evidently every bit as
cOntented as her companion.

Gilmore was gazing at her intently.
HE might be bearable if-if he wasn't

"Well, rather. Lee was great
chum of mine in college and is a much
finer fellow than you seem willing to

Gilmore turned the yachts bow to-

a rowboat was gliding over the waves.

the oarsman and Lees skin was soon
bobbing along behind the larger boat.

the side of the yacht, carrying on a
rather desultory conversation with

Weekly Review of Trade and

r. C. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
OF Trade says:
Monetary anxieties have faded
and business generally continues
wonderfully large and prosperous.
Some serious problems appear, one
of them in higher prices in many
OF the markets, but these are in pro-
cess of adjustment. The copper in
dustry, so large under the depress-
Ing influence of tremendous pro-
duction, will be favorably affected by
plans for bringing the trade under
better control. Reports from the
various trade centers continue of the
same general nature.
Some luIl in the demand for Dig
iron is offset by continued heavy pur-
cnases of finished material at advanc-
Inc prices, and reports are infrequent
OF premiums being paid for prompt
delivery. Buying of rolling stock
and other equipment by prominent
railroads is conspicuous feature.
and some congestion is noted at car
shops because of the difficulty expert
enced in obtaining needed material
from the mills"

are more uniformly encouraging than

particularly the Northwest, the tenn
porary effect of heavy SHOWS inter
rupting transportation to some ex-
tent has been to dull some lines OF
wholesale trade. but the general eff
feet OF the winter visitant has been
