TEN IN PR0NoUNCING MATCH
Professional Men, Including Doctors,
Lawyers, Teacher and Preacher,
in Novel Test.

Ten professional men, including doc
tors, lawyers, a teacher and preach
er took part in "a 'pronouncing match
in a New York hall of the Young
Mems Christian association recently.
Twenty-one words were written on
the blackboard The best man in the
ten pronounced IL words right, ac-
cording to accepted authority. The
average number of errors was IL.
Such are the perils and uncertainties
of that which he are pleased to call
our mother tongue.
William Henry P. Phyfe having COM
piled a book of 1900 Words Often
Mispronounced," found it easy in a
later edition to increase the list to
10000 1t is not likely that even in
the second effort he reached the final
word, for decisions on disputed pro-
nunciations are chiefly arbitrary, and
even presumptive authorities take lit
tie trouble to agree among them
selves.
Only one man in the Young Mems
Christian association ten pronounced
"harass" with the accent on the first
syllable He admitted that he was
perhaps right by accident. The nine
to-one argument of educated usage
indicated here has not prevailed with
the dictionary-makers. 1t may catch
up yet There Is the hopeful instance
of "squalor" and "squalid." Of these
two words the latter is arbitrarily
"squaw-lid," as pronounced, while in
| the former the logical "squaw-lor" has
been recognized only in modern times
against the fixed "squay-lor" of earlier
years.
After all, the barmonizing of Eng
| lish pronunciations IS matter OF
some Importance with the simplifying g

boiler while preparing the omelet.
Beat the yolks of five eggs light, add
two heaping tablespoonfuls Of white

pour in the omelet. Cook until set;
spread upon one-half of the omelet the
minced cherries. Sprinkle with white
sugar, fold the other half Of the omelet

History tells us that the SpaniardS
took possession of Formosa in the
year 1926. They were expelled by the
Dutch in 1912. Nineteen years later
Chinese pirate chief named Koxinga
drove out the Dutch and proclaimed
himself king of the island, but in 1852
the Chinese dethroned his successor,
and Formosa remained a province of
the Middle Kingdom up to the war be-
tween China and Japan. as a result
OF which it passed into the possession
of the Mikado's empire.
A glance at the map will show that
Formosa is really the northermost ISL

Philippines, being situated only a
short distance to the north of LuZon.
It's wild people are undoubtedly of
Malay origin. But its earliest inhabi-
tants were black dwarfs, belonging to
the same race as the pigmy negritos
who still survive in small numbers in
Luzon. Many of their skeletons have
been found in the mountainous iqte-
rior. and it IS reasonable to suppose
that they were exterminated by the
savages who now occupy their terri
tory.
AS already stated, these savages
have never been subdued. From an
chronological point of view, they are
more than ordinarily interesting.
Their garb ranges from nudity to gay

HIGH MORALS IN AMERICA
Standard Higher Than In, England,
American Tells British Royal
Commission.

R. Newton Crane, senior counsel to
the American embassy in London,
told the royal commission on divorce
in England recently that there is a
higher standard of morality in Amer
lea than in England.
He admitted that divorce Is more
prevalent in this country than in any
other country in the world except
japan, but contended this was due
to the fact that persons of respecta-
bility had come to regard divorce as
a firmly established institution, de-
signed to cure unhappiness.
j. A. Barratt, of counsel to the
American embassy, pointed out that
there are more varied causes for di.
vorce in European countries than In
the United States. In Austria "in-
vincible aversion" in Hungary "vexa-
tious modification" in France "prodi-
gality and violent disposition" in Swe-
den opposite Of feeling and thought
amounting to hate" and in Formosa
'loquacity'' are considered sufficient
grounds for divorce
In Algeria, where there are thirteen
causes. previous wooing in which no
final acceptance or refusal has been
made" was a cause of divorce. Bar
ratt argued there is not single cause
of divorce in any state In this coun.
try that cannot be duplicated in
Europe.

From Memorial day to the Fourth
of July the large white daisies in some

are found in abundance, decorating
the unimproved grounds Of suburban
country seats, and yet proving daily
annoyance to farmers throughout the
hills and valleys of eastern Pennsyl-
vania, according to a correspondent
of the Philadelphia Record. No soon
er are the large daisies gone for the
season than the little ox-eyes and the
other white and yellow blooms with
dark centers, known as July and Au-
gust daisies, and only exclamations
of delight and rapture are heard from
the appreciative youngsters who are
"out a-daisying."
While the daisies have been well
known both in censure and praise for
many, many summers, it is only very
recently that the responsibility of
their introduction into this country
has been credibly fixed. Horsham

MEANING OF SCARLET THREAD
Woven Into British Naval Rope as
Positive Method Of Identification
of Royal Property.

Ever since the day Of Nelson, a Pc
cuiiar custom has been observed In
the British navy. A scarlet thread is
woven into every one of the thou
sands of ropes used in the British ma
val service. This includes all ropes
from the smallest heaving line to the
largest hawser. Several romantic sug-
gestions have been advanced as to
why the thread is woven into the
ropes, but the real reason is a simple
and practical one.
It simply means sure way of iden-
tifying royal property. and If any rope
with the red thread is found in unau-
thorized hands the presumption is
that 1t was improperly taken. It is
forbidden that any rope manufactured
for private use contain the red thread,
in Just the same way that in the Uni
ted States the manufacture OF paper
for private use containing bits of silk
is forbidden. This paper in the Uni
ted States is used for currency pur.
poses only.
