Anglicizing Turkish Names.
From lions Herald.


In the effort to transliterate into Eng
lish Turkish names the writer's of vari-
GUS papers follow different practices. but
a few simple rules, IL followed. would
bring order out Of the confusion. The
proper way of writing the name Of the
deposed sultan is to hyphenate it, since
Add" means servant" "ul signifies
of" and "Hamid.' title Of God, means
1.-The one worthy of praise. This sui
tan, therefore. was named the Servant
Of the One to be praised as his prede-
cessor was 'Abd-ul-Aziz." the Servant
of the One who is holy" The recent fire
in STEAMBOAT occurred at the "Akhir ka-
pousou" (some have written 1t 'Kapu-
sir. where the ending "sou," having
possessive force, binds the second word
to the first, giving the meaning of THE
Stable its Gate Since, in the word
.'kapou." the "a" and the "ou'' are open
novels. the ending must follow the law
Of euphony and become 'sou.' whereas
makes or sells bread-the ending takes
the short vowel because the preceding
'.e'' vowels are both close. So "Akhir"
ought really to be written "Akhor." In
locating AkhOr on an old map, we were
amused to observe how the name of a
hospital near the Seven Towers reads in
French: Hospital des Pestiferes Ar
some OF the Armenians pestiferous in
more than one sense OF the term; but for
the most part the Armenians could with
more exact justice have applied that
word descriptively to the oppressive
Turks! Fortunately. nowadays the old
language of recrimination is rapidly be-
coming a lost tongue.

Tapioca and Alcohol.
From Harper's Weekly.

weekly
The manioc plant from which cassava
-four and tapioca are obtained has been
cultivated in many parts of Africa.
Madagascar and parts OF Asia and the
East Indian islands. 1t grows readily
in all tropical countries and yields
abundant supplies Of starch. The more
valuable species. the bitter manioc,'
Is q poisonous plant. The starch is
contained in the thick milky juice Of
the root, together with q violent poison
of the observation-disclosures kind. The
natives dry the juice and then roast
the paste on iron plates. AS result
OF this treatment the poison is driven
off, and tho masses OF starch roll up
into little balls: these constitute the
'tapioca" of commerce. When the
into a coarse -four the product Is known
as "cassava." Another preparation
of the starch OF this plant Is sold un-
der the name Of Brazilian arrow
root" The South American Indians Of
certain tribes prepare an alcoholic
liquor from the juice OF this plant
called "paiwari." IT Is believed that
the characteristic pot lilies" OF the
Caribs result from excessive consump-
ton Of this liquor.
French scientists have been expert
view to it's availability as a source Of
alcohol. AS the plant is easily culti-
waited. and is remarkably resistant to
the attacks of insects and fungi, its
production on a large saale through
the cheap labor Of the tropical colonies
should be feasible. The yield of al
cohol from dry tapioca Is very high.

Verbal Taboos.
From the Springfield Republican.

rom Inc SpflnSnelO HepuDHcan
An interesting account is given in the
School Review by Prof Fred Newton
Scott of the University of Chicago Of the
queer prejudices children and unlettered
people form against words which are per-
fectly good. The reasons are often OBJ
scure. To one person 'churn" always
suggests the croaking of a frog. Castor
oil to another absurdly suggests a creak-
ing sound. probably from association with
the castor of chair or table. In some
cases imperfect mastery causes dislike
for word. One starts to say "equili
to equilibrium" no wonder that he
adds: II never use the word II / can
avoid it, and balance is generally
good substitute. Another disiikes fac
smile" because lone end Of the word Is
heavier than the other" a queer i'm
preston which may be explained by the
confession of another that he had long
pronounced this word fac-simile
Children make many very natural blum
ders with words which they have seen but
never heard. very common error is
the mispronunciation of ''Inisled" as
1t is taken to mean struck with a mis-
sile," but these are not very brieht chill
dren; the more discerning refer IL to the
verb Ito misle," which Is not so dull and
obvious an affair as ito mislead." though
somewhat similar in meaning. To misle
Is to bewilder, to entangle. to lead astray
in labyrinthine paths; 1t Is a pity the
word does not exist What teacher OF
English has to contend against Is shown
by the struggles of one OF Mr.. Scott's
classes with the line in Tennyson's
Maud: 1.-THE pimpernel doxed on the
lea" That must have been before The
Scarlet Pimp erner' was the rage, or some
would certainly have gained the impress
sion that a French spy was doing on a
leeshore. Only two knew that pim-
pernel is flower. Here are some sam
pies of Chicago's impressionistic treat
ment Of Tennyson:
1. The word pimpernel calls up in my
mind the image of pampered cur. He
Is a worthless brute who spends most of
his time sleeping In the warm sunshine.
2. The pinpernel seems to me small
animal resembling an eel. 1t has short.
rounded ears. and bright, beadlike eyes.
AS l imagine 1t. the pimpernel is lying
a lake. ready to slip into the water at
the slightest sound.
3. A pimpernel seems to me tramp or
gypsy. He lies on the bank In the sun
with an old, battered hat drawn over his
face.
4. do not know what the word means.
but 1t instantly suggests to me small
lizard covered with pimples or warts
The image flashed upon my mind as soon
as the word was spoken, and is still
vivid and distinct. Although I never
heard the word before. seem always to
have known 1t and to attach this meaning
to 1t. I am absurdly confident that this
Is the true meaning.
Poor Tennyson! Others were absurdly
confident that q pimpernel Is a frog or
small deer or dragonny. or a small shrub
like prickly pear.

CONFLICT IN COMMITTEE
PROBING JUDGES PAST
Representative Higgins OBJ
jectS to Manner of Con-
Quoting Inquiry.

SEATTLE, Wash, July 6.-Judge Han
ford's personal habits were under investi-
cation when the House judiciary subcom-
mittee met today. Several witnesses SUBJ
poenaed to testify against the judge are
yet to be heard. Chairman Graham init
mated yesterday that the majority of the
committee would scrutinize the evidence
offered and exclude what was not ma
terial
Representative Higgins of Connecticut
has openly, differed with his colleagues
because Of their policy Of admitting all
the evidence against Judge Hanford that
can be obtained, and permitting Han
ford's counsel to introduce only rebuttal.
The majority Of the subcommit
tee, Representatives James Graham Of
Illinois and Walter 1. Mccoy of New
Jersey, came into open conflict yesterday
Edwin w. Higgins of Connecticut, over
the manner of conducting the inquiry.
Mccoy told of rumors that evidence
was being suppressed and witnesses were
being inundated. Chairman Graham
announced that the committee was seek
ing discriminating" evidence.
Chairman Graham referred to himself
and Mccoy as the majority and asserted
that the majority would rule.
Saw Judge Drunk, He Says.
Charles F. Peterson a timber and coal
dealer. testified that he had seen Judge
Hanford under the influence Of liquor.
One night about eight months ago. he
said. he had seen Judge Hanford leaning
on the bar in a saloon apparently in
toxicated, a glass in front of him.
On a later occasion, Peterson testified.
he saw Judge Hanford in saloon at
night. with both arms on the bar.
There is no question In my mind that
the man was very drunk" he said.
Two months ago, and two weeks ago.
the witness testified. he saw Judge Han
ford apparently drunk. The last time
the Judge was walking with former
United States Senator Piles.
Not Party to Conference.
Hanford's counsel cross-examined Peter
son concerning his motive in appearing,
and Representative Mccoy said that the
ference he had with himself and Chair
angrily desired it to be noted that he
was not a party to the conference. Mr..
Mccoy explained that Higgins was in
Tacoma, else he would have been con-
suited.
Peterson says he begged that he not be
brought into the case as his business
probably would be affected. One witness
said that he had been told at the con-
ference by Mccoy that the lawyers of
the city were apparently afraid to go
ahead and say anything regarding Judge
Hanford, and that there ought to be
some people in Seattle who would have
the courage to come forward to testify"
Chairman Graham requested the news
papers to print the committees request
that any one having material evidence
should present it, so that when the COM
mittee left Seattle 1t could not be said
that an opportunity had rot been given
for such testimony.
Several eminent jurists and lawyers tes-
titled strongly in favor of Judge Hanford,
saying they had never known him to be
intoxicated, and had never seen him mat
tentive in court. although his peculiari-
ties might make persons who did not
know him to think he was asleep.

A Mothers Curse.
from the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
Supe.stitious folk in Germany are at
tributing the tragic death of Prince
George of Cumberland to the far-reach-
ing effects OF a curse. His great-grand-
father. had Swiss valet who. in 1910
was found dead under suspicious circum-
stances. and many people suspected his
master of numbering him.
Mime. Sells, the Wallets mother, was
SO convinced that this was the case that
she journeyed from Switzerland to
London, confronted the Duke Of Cumber-
land in Pail Mail and cursed him and
his children to the fourth generation.
Nine years later the dukes only son
came into the world stone blind.
His son In turn, the present: duke,
was born without a nose, and has to
wear an artificial one. And now Prince
George has been killed shortly after maxi
ing a marvellous recovery from an ILL.,
ness which had crippled him for years.
