English as Variously Pronounced.


Ten professional men. including doc
tors, lawyers, teacher and a preacher.
took part in a pronouncing match In q
New York hall of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association recently. Twenty-one
words were written on the blackboard.
The best man in the ten pronounced
twelve words right, according to ac-
cepted authority The average num-
Der Of errors was eleven Such are the
perils and uncertainties Of that which we
are pleased to call our mother tongue.
william Henry P. Phyfe having COM
piled a book Of 1000 Words Often Mis-.
pronounced" found it easy in later edi.
ton to increase the list to 10000 It is
not likely that even in the second effort
he reached the final word for decisions
on disputed pronunciations are chiefly
arbitrary, and even presumptive authori-
ties take little trouble to agree among
themselves.
Only one man in the Young MEMS
Christian Association ten pronounced
''harass" with the accent on the first syI-
liable. He admitted that he was perhaps
right by accident. The nine-to-one argu-
ment 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
"saualid" OF these two words the lat
ter is arbitrarily ."squaw-lid.' as pro-
nounced. 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 harmonizing Of English
pronunciations is matter of some i'm
portance in comparison with the simplify
ing OF spelling.

BUILDING IN JANUARY.
Showing Unusually Good, Consider
ing the Unfavorable Weather.

Building operations in the leading
cities of the country show a moderate
decrease for January in comparison with
the corresponding month a year ago.
Permits were taken out during the month
just closed in fifty-nine cities. according
to official reports to Construction News,
for the construction Of 10.O59 buildings
at an estimated cost of $4O.S15.52O. az
against 1O,730 buildings involving A3,-
1887 for the corresponding month a
year ago, a decrease OF 671 buildings and
$2,315, S57, or per cent.
This is a remarkably good showing
when the long continued cold and the
heavy snow is taken into consideration
in comparison with the open weather
which has prevailed for many years.
Nothing SO seriously contracts building
operations as severely cold weather and a
heavy fall of snow. To those who are
familiar with conditions the showing Is
in sense far In excess Of last year.
