WOULD AND SHOULD.
Some Comments on the Proper Use or
These Two WORDS.


M~nv persons who otherwise
speak and write correctly are not al
ways quite sure of the proper place
for shall" and "vill' and for
would" and SHOULD" The great
or uncertainty arises with would
and should. Commenting on this,
a grammarian in +. P.'s London
Weekly admits that II may, il he
wishes to lay stress on his intcn-
lions, say, Il will never forget Your
Kindness" but most persons will
prefer to soften the II viii to Il
shall" making it an expression Of
%futuritv. On the other hand, il
some person should ask, "Will |
put some Goals on the fire y an ap-
propriate answer would mot shOuld)
bc that YOU could not tell, not hay
ing prophetic information as to his
intention. This grammarian in
forms us that we must say, "Should
you be surprised to learn" because
we expect the answer, Il should Tor,
| should not) be surprised"
Unless this means Ought you to
be surpriscd?" the rule seems arbi-
trary and scarcely in accord with
common practice. Would conveys
a more absolute sense of futurity
and is less ambiguous. In the Bible
it is used even with the first person
for example (I Samuel Xxx, q, 'If
| knew certainly that evil were to
come upon thee would not | tell
thcc2" But modern English seems
% have developed an excessive par
Iiality for should, both in questions
and in such incorrect sentences as
ale should be fifty today" "Hc
should have liked this" etc. \
striking instance is the phrase 1T
should SEEM" which occurs in our
best writer's, yet it is wholly ur-
grammatical. The objection to this
use Of should is that it leads to con-
fusion between futurity and obliga-
ton.
If we cannot recover the first
personal use Of would let us at
least refuse to drop it in other per-
sons. Those who retain it either
in questions or in the exceedingly
common II would like" are at
worst preserving an old idiom,
while their meaning is made more
transparency clear than if they
had used the equivocal should.

INDUSTRIAL SECRETS.
Guarded by Oaths and Suhterfuges In
the Olden Times.

Our ancestors had little faith in
patent laws to protect their rights
in inventions. What they discov-
cred or invented they concealed.
Workmen were put upon oath never
70 reveal the process used by their
employers. Doors were kept closed,
artisans going out were searched,
visitors were vigorously excluded
from admission, and false opera
ti3~s blinded the workmen them
selves. The mysteries Of every craft
were hcdgcd in by thick set fences
Of empirical pretensions and judi
ciaI Affirmation.
The royal manufactures Of por-
ce,ain, for example, were carried on
in Europe with a spirit of jealous
cra lusiycncss. His majesty Of Sax
DRY was especially circumspcct.
Not content with the oath Of Sc
cracy imposed upon his workpcoplc,
hc would not abate his EingIy IS
pjcion in favor Of a brother mon
arch. Neither king nor kings dele
gates might enter the tabooed walls
of Mcisscn. What is enormously
called the Dresden porcelain was
produced for 200 years by a process
50 secret that neither the bribery of
princes nor the garrulity Of the OPP
cratives revealed it.
Other discoveries have been less
successfully guarded, fortunately
for the world. The manufacture of
tinwarc in England originated in a
stolen secret. Few persons need to
be informed that tinwarc is simply
thin iron plated with tin by being
dipped into the molten metal. In
theory it is easy to clean the sur
face of iron. Dip it into a bath Of
boiling tin and remove it cnyel-
opcd with a silycry metal to a place
for cooling. in practice, however,
the process is one of the most diff
cult in the arts. 1t was discovered
in Holland and guarded from pub
licity with the utmost vigilance for
more than half a century. England
tried in vain to discover the secret
until James Sherman, a Cornish
miner, insinuated himself master of
the secret and brought it home

TO PROTECT BUCKETS.
Some Ways by Which They Are Kept
From Beinq Carried or.

"Anybody who has occasion to
use a water bucket" said a man ac-
quainted with their various uses,
lis likely to pick up the first one he
comes to; then he may put it back
where he found it or he may not.
1T was to prevent their being
carried of in this way and left
around where they didn't belong
that fire buckets came to BE- made
with round bottoms, 50 that they
wouldn't stand on their OWN bot
tom. Snch buckets, is YOU know,
arc kept filed With w..or and
standing around il buildings, sap
ported in holders havine rounded
out spaces in which the buckets
rest. These buckets are likely to be
left where they belong.
a. man who doesn't know their
popularity may come along some
day and pick up one Of them Ell
carry it OF, but he is likely to Leave
the fire buckets alone after ono c&-
pcricncc of seeing the bucket be
had carried off roll over when lo
set it down and spill out all the
water.
"Pcrhaps YOU don't know what
stable boys do to keep their buck
cts where they can find them. The
stable boy protects his particular
bucket by boring a hole in its bot
tom, so that it won't hold water.
Nobody wants a bucket that wont
hold water. Then he carries in his
pocket a cork that will fit the hole
in the bucket. and when he has use
for it he simply plugs the hole, and
there's the bucket ready for use.
"To be sure, other boys around a
stable may carry corks in their
pockets, but the run of people
don't, and so the boy who has bored
the bottom of his bucket is at least
a little more likely to find it when
he wants it than he would be if it
had no hole in it."-New York

Eyina a Lion.

A middle aged man stopped in
front of the lion cage in the menag-
erie the other day and fixed his gaze
upon the eyes of the animal that
was lying down near the bars.
For q time the lion remained in
different. Then he swished his tail,
returned the mans stare, separated
his jaws and growled.
II wanted to see if the human
eye could cover a wild BEAST" the
man said to the keeper.
Better take your gun along if
you go into the jungle, for your eye
wouldn't save you from a hungry
lion," said the keeper. eff you see
a lion and have no gun pretend you
don't see him and your chances of
escape are better. The human gaze
initiates a wild beast, which knows
by instinct that the gazing indicates
hostility."-New York Sum-

The Nautilus.

Many years ago a Dutch natural
list went to the Indian seas to study
shells. When he came back he told
the story that the nautilus sailed in
troops over the sea and we're able,
when they wished, to fill themselves
with water and sink to the bottom.
This, it has been found, is not true.
The nautilus commonly inhabits
the bottom of the sea, where it
creeps about by means of a large
muscular disk with which the head
is furnished, and it rarely rises to
the surface or is seen floating there.
The interior of the shell is divided
into chambers, connected by a little
tube, which affords air. The shell
has most exquisite coloring, from
pearly white to varied motley.

when a man came up to the Eng

awakened at hat hour. The clerk
looked down the list and found
that all the lines under 7:30 had

Friendly Advice.

John went to Jim on the street
and asked him a private and per-
sonal question.
"Jim," he said, "Bill came to me
a few minutes ago and wanted to
borrow $40. Would you advise me
to lend it to him?"
Il sure would" answered jim
promptly. "Old Bill wants ten,
does he? Well, let him have it at
once"
SO John loaned Bill the ten.
Then he came back to jim and
asked. "Why were you so insistent
that | should lend that ten to
Bill?"
"I'll tell you, old man." answered
Jim. IF you hadn't done it he'd
have come to me for it. And |
wouldn't want to lend any money to
a CRATER like that"
SO you see what friendly ad-
vice amounts to.-Cleveland Plain

THIS WORLD OF U R
It's Square Miles, Its Population and
Its Births and Deaths.

~"~
Sometimes this old world seems a
rather large place, and occasionally
one gets the idea hat there are a
great many people; but, after all,
there are only $4,000, 900 square
miles of land on which we may
build houses and grow crops and
walk about, and there are only
fifteen hundred million persons to
do these things. If the earth's pop
ulation were evenly apportioned to
the various continents and islands
there would be twenty-seven per-
sons on each square mile; but, as
it is, there are 1912 persons to
each square mile in Europe, 49.1
persons on a like area in Asia, 14.3
in North America and only 1.5 in
Australasia. The polar regions are
the really lonely lands, however,
for there the population is only six
hundredths of a person to the
square mile. The total population
of the earth at the time of the death
of Emperor Augustus was not over
54,O00,O00, and the total popula-
ton of Europe did not exceed 5O,-
100000 before the fifteenth CEN
fury.

ocean is supposed to be nearly six
