Freaks of language.

Aspeculiar kind of laundering known
as folk etymologyv is responsible for
some of the queerest freaks of lam
guage. An easy example will make
this clear. Our American word .scar-
ryalp' for kind of vehicle is not a
compound of carry and "all,'' but a
slight distortion of the French 'earri-
ole,' diminutive car. The change
was made in obedience to the uni
versal tendency to assimilate the I'M
known to the known, to make words
mean something by associating them
with others which they resemble in
sound. Often there is no chronological
relation between the words associated,
as when sparrowgrass is made out of
asparagus. This particular corruption
was once in such good colloquial use
that Walker, the photographer, wrote,
"sparrowgrass is so general that as
paragus has an air of stiffness and
spedantry."

The Manchus.

The name ssManchuria," to desig-
nate the country of the Manchus, is
not known to the Chinese, but was in
vented by French geographers. The
Manchus are a tribe of Tartars who
gained the ascendency in China in the
seventeenth century. Manchu is Chi
nese for pure" and was applied by
an ancestor Of Shun Che, the first
Manchu emperor Of China, to his dy-
nasty and his people.
The Manchus resemble the Chinese
only to the eye Of a stranger. just as
we think that all Chinese laundrymen
look alike To themselves the Man.

Used the Wrona Gender.

A eFrenchman with an imperfect
knowledge of English was once called
upon for an~after dinner speech. He
struggled along manfully for a few
minutes, managing to turn one or two
good phrases. Finally he excused him
self from further effort by saying, Il
will no longer coclroach on your time"
An Englishman sitting next to him
at the table remarked: "Your speech
was dooced clever, bah Joye. But you
used the wrong word at the close,
don't you know. You should have said
II will no longer hencroach upon your
time.'"

BLAKE'S VISIONS.
The Curious HaIIucinations Of the
Poet. Painter.

The Curious HaIIucinations of the
Poet. Painter.
William Blake, the contemporary OF
Charles Lamb, was man of visions.
Blake dined with prophets and held
converse with archangels. a friend
Of Blake called on the poet-painter
"and found him sitting, pencil in
hand, drawing a portrait with all
the seeming anxiety of a man who is
conscious Of having a fastidious sitter.
He looked and drew and drew and
looked, yet no living soul was visible.
Disturb me not said Blake in a
whisper. I have some one sitting to
me-. Sitting to your exclaimed the
astonished visitor. Where is he? i
see no one' But see him. answered
Blake haughtily. There he is. His
name is Lot. You may read Of him in
the Scriptures. He is sitting for his
portrait. /"
Blake's Authorizations, however, rare
" took malignant form. One Of his
most beautiful visitors was of fairy
funeral. II was walking alone in my
garden he said. There was a great
stiffness among the branches and flow
4ers and more than common sweetness
in the air. / heard a low and pleasant
sound and knew not whence 1t came.
''At last / saw the broad leaf of a
flower move, and underneath saw a
procession Of creatures Of the size and
color of green and gray grasshoppers,
bearing a body laid out on rose leaf,
which they buried with songs and then
disappeared. 1t was fairy's funeral"

ius. At the age of three he had taught
himself to count with the aid Of peb-
bles and had found out for himself a
good many of the theories Of arith-
metic. At this age he became very Ill
and was for three days denied food.
At the end Of the fast he was given a
biscuit, but instead Of eating it he
broke it up into pieces to count with,
an operation. he considered more inter-
esting.
He read everything with avidity.
His mind did not run in one channel,
and he welcomed every. volume that
came in his way. When he was ten or
twelve years old he went to a library
to. ask for the works Of certain au-
thor. The librarian told him in amuse-
ment that the books were in Latin.
The boy went home cIiagrined, for he
did not know Latin, being siekly
child and. held back from books as far
as possible, but after six weeks he APP
peared again and told the librarian he
had learned to read the books now.

he was an Englishman-and English
men had a great respect for Italians
and had entertained Garibaldi in
grand style.

a Curious Stone.

A curious stone is the alexandria.
It is a dark green stone that is polish
ed, cut and set very like fine topaz
or amethyst, in large snowy rings sur
rounded by diamonds. BY the light Of
day the alexandrite has no special
beauty save its fine luster, but directly
shaft Of artificial light strikes the
dull stone deep CLEANS of red flash out
Of the green. and under the gas or In
the freight one ignorant of this va
gary would instantly pronounce it a
ruby.
