THE AMERICAN ACCENT.

the Subject.


"The American accent" writes a
contemporary correspondent, lis far

nous patois OF our east end
As Il matter of fact. we think that
the eockney accent has certain num-
ber of real admirers, but what we
wish TO call TO our readers minds par
ticularly is that America has its cock

People in Kentucky have rather
burrish way of speaking, and they
loathe and detest the fruity twang
which overwhems New England. The
westerner, again, is responsible for the
dialect which was supplied on the
English boards by stage Yankees.
Whether you acquire the American
accent or not depends on the length of
time you remain in America. English

LACEMAKING.
An Old Legend That Tells of the ORR
gin Of the Art.

An Old Legend That Tells Of the ORR
gin of the Art.
Lacemaking is by no means so old
an industry as most persons suppose
There is no proof that it existed pre-
vious to the fifteenth century. and the
oldest known painting in which it ap-
pears is a portrait of d lady in the
academy at Venice painted by Caspac-
clio. who died about 1923. The legend
concerning the origin of the art is as
follows:
A young fisherman of the Adriatic
was betrothed to a young and beauti-
full girl of one of the isles of the la
goon. Industrious as she was beauti-
full, the girl made a new net for her
lover, who took it with him on board
his boat. The first time he cast it into
the sea he dragged therefrom an exQui-
site petrified wrack grass, which he
fastened to present to his fiancee; but,
war breaking out, the fisherman was
pressed into the service of the Vene-
tion navy. The poor girl wept at the
plated his last gift to her. While abb
sorbed in following the intricate ira
Gerry of the wrack grass she began to
twist and plait the threads weighted
with small beads which hung around
her net. Little by little she wrought
an imitation Of the petrification, and
thus was created the bobbin lace.

What Happens When They Meet a
School of Flying Fish.


What Happens When They Meet 3
School of Flying Fish.
One time at San Clemente we sight
ed feeding school of tuna. an exhil-
arating sight. A flying fish weighing
a pound and half or more would
start from the water and soar an ex-
traOrdinary distance, nearly out of
sight, but every inch of that flight
knew was covered by a big tuna keep
ing his place just beneath the fiier and
ready to seize it the moment it fell
into the water. This rarely failed.
The moment the fish began to drop
the tuna would spring at it like a
tiger, turning and tossing the spume
into the air with a splendid and cleo
trifying rush, a maneuver that was
repeated all over the blue channel.
The sensational charge meant that a
school of tunas had discovered a school
of its natural prey, flying fishes. At
once the lust for blood and food was
on, and carnage was the result.
i have observed some curious scenes
at sea. but never have l seen fear so
sforcibly expressed as by a school Of
flying fishes, exhausted and at the
mercy of the yoracious tunas. / have
had them gather about my boat and
cling to its keel as closely as they
could, while the air was full of leap
ing tunas and soaring fish. At such
times when a school OF sardines is
rounded up the fishes are so terrified
that men have rowed up to them and
scooped them in by the pailful.-Out-

GAYNoR's APPOINTMENTS.

Writing for the March issue Of Re
view Of Reviews, W B. Shaw has the
following about Gotham's new mayor:
Mayor Gaynor gave the public its
first great surprise when his ap-
poin,meuts were announced. He had
spent weeks in reaching a decision
on them and when it was made he
kept his secret well. People some-
how had the impression that because
the Mayor had been elected on the
Tammany ticket he would make up
his appointments from a Tammany
slate. II did not work out precisely
in that way Three commissioner
SHIPS. it is true, went to Tammany
men Cnot leaders,. while dozen
others were distributed among a
group Of experts and business men,
many Of whom had probably never
seen the inside OF the Fourteenth
street wigwam.
In the list Of new heads of depart
ments We're names familiar to the
public. and in almost every instance
the appointee was at once recognized
as a man who had already shown his
qualifications for the task assigned
him by actual accomplishment, or else
Rad shown peculiar aptitude for the
Kind Of service demanded. 1t is all
summed up in this somewhat over
worked phrase. administrative eff
cheney" In some Of the New York
City departments great deal has
been done Of late to define the tasks
/ of particular officials and correlate
/ those tasks with a view to the most
effective and economical use Of the
entire office force With the various
/ branches Of the service manned by
intelligent and faithful employees
and supervised by commissioners who
know their jobs, there is no reason
why city work should not be as effici-
entity and economically done as work
for private corporations. The trouble
in the past was that in the selection
of bureau chiefs the matter Of fitnes:
flor the task and knowledge of its de.
tails was the very last thing to bt
considered. As far back as 1S9;
Mayor Strong made a break from es
itablished precedent by appointing Col
onel Waring Commissioner Of Stree
Cleaning for the sole and at that tint
novel reason that Colonel Waring wa
q sanitary engineer who knew how Il
, clean the city streets and to keel
them clean. That was the first OBJ
lject-lesson for New York of the eff
eEcy test in public service. 1t prove,
. to be so effective a lesson that Ney
= York has never forgotten il, even
j the politicians have. When Mayo
, Gaynor announced his appointment
it was seen that practically all or ther
/ conformed to the Wright STANDARD
Question about pull and backin
seemed idle and meaningless. for tn
simple fact was recognized that eac
man appointed to commissionershi
, or other responsible post was place
there because Of special qualification
for that particular work.
