The Great Lakes Toll.

We of the Atlantic coast, accus-

great vessels, do not always realize
the dangerous character of naviga-
ton on the great lakes. They seem
to many jewellers in this part of the
country, inconsiderable bodies of fresh

terror commerce, but in no sense COM

How the English Speak English.


William Dean HoweIls remarks in
his final chapter in ''Seven English
Cities,'' his latest book of travel, that
if one has moved in good English So
ciety one has no need ever to ask how
word is pronounced-"one pro-
nounces it as one has always heard it
pronounced The sense of this, says
Mr.. Howells, gives the American a
sort of despair, as of one who per-
ceives that he never will be able to
speak English. 1.-THE American has.
for example, always said 'fnancier,'
with the accent on the last syllable;
and if he has consulted his Webster he
has found that there was no choice
for him. Then when he hears it pro-
nounced at Oxford by the head of a
college with the accent on the second
syllable and learns, on asking, that it
is never otherwise accented in Eng
land, his head whirls a little, and he
has sick moment in which the thinks
he had better let the verb TO be- gov
ern the accusative as the English do
and be done with it. or else telegraph
for his passage home at once. Or
stop!" Mr.. Howells Interrupts him

Habits, Good and Bad.

Flying at one another's throats anC
scrapping over local questions which
| come up in communities is habit
all habit. And ii is a bad habit. We
once knew a shrewd politician in this
county to learn the ms and outs OF
every division and factional difference
which existed in the county. Sc
armed when a campaign came on he
would manage to prick open every
neighborhood row in the county and
get the people TO going anew at each
others throats and incidentally one
faction or the other working inces-
sanity for said politicians election and
the other trying to defeat him. That
man is today well-to-do man, but
he left his trial of retardation in every
community.
To be agreeable is the result of eff
fort and training, one must in most
cases give ones self, while to oppose,
divide and scrap is habit resulting
from an uncurbed, innate disposition
to contend for our own individual way.
In Van Zandt county there was a
candidate for office. Every man in
the precinct where the candidate was
reared was for him except two. The
others implored and begged these two
to vote with the majority. When they
found they could not induce them to
do so they proposed 70 buy them out
before the election day in order that
they night move out of the community
and not have 1t said there were two
deserters. This was not because of
loyalty to the candidate, but because
of community pride in all standing to.

There is much to be said for and

1t would seen that while the state de-

that the two departments may counsel
