suddenly became rather moody and
when he spoke addressed his re
marks to Mr.. Castlemaine rather
than To his daughter This evidently
pleased Purvis, who became quite
cheerful at Leicester's gloomy iP-
meanor.
Presently dinner came to an end,
when Olive went away into the
drawing room, while the men ad-
journed to the library Mr.. Lowry
seemed rather annoyed at Purvis'
presence but made the best 1f the
situation by talking to Mr. Castle

Mr.. Castlemaine was much i'm

why do you admire him." asked
Radford Leicester, turning to Oliae
"A woman always admires
strength, courage, honesty said
Olive.
And which most?"
Honesty"
That is interesting. Might one
ask Why"
Because the other two do not

Radrord Leicester did MT repress
the answer that came to his lips.
He could not altogether be hypo

That is a very respectable tradi-

You do not believe it,"

Il should say that T lstoi's life

Have you ever considered wha, a

Castlemaiue? have known honest
men-that is, as honest men go-as
timid as rabbits, and | have known
scoundrels who have been as brave
as lions. Is net human nature con
stantly laughing at u.s.
THAT is because our judgments
are so shallow We do not look
beneath the surface
Yes, doubtless you are right But
my main objection to the so-called
honest man is that he is so fright

"To say the least of him, Tolstoi
is not dull"
"Therefore he is not honest"

''No. not uncertain"
NO? May ask how you can

The moonlight may bother you and the crickets seem to need oil ing. But another night and you hear the crickets gratefully. and there is something mystic in the distant piano.

THE UMPIRE.

The umpire stands behind the plate Conspicuously in view; The way that fellow toys with fate Just keeps me in a stew He calls the balls the batter Swats And those he doesn't touch; It's wonderful the way he spots Left handed twists and suChi He puts the batter out or not Just as he seems to please, I'd hate to stand in that same spot And hand out things like these Back to the bench he sends some chap; A Giant maybe, too. I often wonder if a scrap Won't come when they are through. An umpire cares not what he gives, Strike three or just ball four; It sets us guessing how he lives When all the team is sore Ten per seems but a fragile sum For umpirins l say If you consider what may come To him some cruel day.

FOR SUMMER NIGHT COMFORT
The Second Story Sleeping Porch
 Solves the Problem.

How to sleep in comfort on warm summer nights is a problem of city life that uncounted thousands of families never have been able to solve. The ordinary flat or apartment house holds the heat like patent fireless cooker. and the only hope of comparative com fort is the roof or the fire escapes. Among those who are fortunate enough to live in houses, surprising ly large number have solved the prob lem by converting their second story pOrches into bedrooms. once you have built a wooden rampant. say thirty inches high around the bottom of the outdoor sleeping room for protection from the gaze of the milkman and the grocer's boy and have screened the up per part to keep out the mosquitoes and flies, the summer nights become something lyric. You can understand then the situation explained by Edward Young in his Night Thoughts when he spoke of
 Tired Natures sweet restorer, balmy
 sleepi
 When fortune smiles; the wretched he
 forsakes.''
 It is nearly as cool on the open porch as under the sky-and anyone who has ever been camper knows what diff ference there is between that and a room. Intead of trying to sleep with your head beside a rectangular open ing in the wall about two and a half feet wide and three feet high, your pillow now is close to a window which is fully four feet high and perhaps as

SPREAD OF THE ENGLISH IAN.
 GUAGE.

There are three languages which are more widely spoken than are any other tongue, and in the order of their i'm portance-not numerically, but com mercially-they are English, Malay and Hindoostani, or. rather, that one of the many tongues of Hindu which is more properly known as Urdu. The first two are practically grammarless languages, the third is still infected. but the in factions are easy and not numerous. All these languages are largely made up of the others with which the speakers have come into contact. Their vOcalization and structure are such that foreign words are easily assimi- lated and recast in native dress. They have gained their predominance and their wide geographical latitude be cause of their simplicity of construc- tiOn and because of their ease of as- similation. Belonging to the more powerful people. the first must event nually attain the supreme mastery and become the lingua franca of the old and new worlds
 But there are two or three pedagogic influences initiating against the spread of English. One is the closet attempt which would set up a highly infected artificial tongue. such as Esperanto. as world medium. Now language began by being infected and ends by becoming practically gram marless. Use is the final criterion and not book made rules, evolved. as one American write finely says, by the lamplight theories of the lesser gram marians who would strive to put shackless on the free speech of a free people
 Another is the intolerance of strange words. Yet history of the English language is the history of the birth and death of hundreds of words. i'm ported from this or that country, coined from one or the other of the learned languages; dying if they found no acceptance of the people, living and becoming incorporated in the very web and wool of the English tongue until their strange or foreign origin is ut terly forgotten. if they express a shade of meaning hitherto unknown. and if they find popularity.
 After all. it is but the office of the dictionary maker to collect his defin- itions and spelling from the usages of the best authors. And the gram marian has but a similar task to per form. When either originate they should at least be the equal of the scholars whose use they set aside. not only in their own but in the opinion of the people. Rules are. after all. only for the guidance. of the untrained and unread, because. if valid. they are only based upon those facts of use which training and reading will give at first hand. Ii is sometimes said that all the great authors make gram matrical mistakes. That is quite like. ly true But if several great authors concur in some particular usage it would take more than the authority of a Lindley Murray to definitely declare that usage bad
 English is not only a noble heritage contains the history of the domi nant people of the earth through many vicissitude. It is the hope of the flu ture, and should be protected alike from the depredations of the vulgarian and from gibes of the lesser gramma- rian.-Spokane Inland Herald.
