SOME COMMON ERRORS
WORDS THAT THE AVERAGE PER.
SON WILL MISPRONouNcE.
A Little Study All That Is Needed to
Convince Most of Us That Our
Conversation is by No Means
Likely to Be Fiawless.

Are either and neither pronounced
"eether" and "neether" or "eyether"
and "neyther?" This question, much
disputed is answered in favor of
"eether" and "neether" by Julian w.
Alternately. Not a single modern die
tionary gives "eyether" the prefer
ence, says his little book, and goes
on to quote Richard Grant White,
who says "eyether" is an affectation
and a second rate British affectation
at that Which should hold the
"eyether" advocates while.
And now about the word vase. It's
pronounced "vace," whether it comes
from the 10-cent store or Tiffany's.
"Vaze" is wrong, says the book, and
"vawz" is vulgar Another tally for
us old-fashioned folks.
Perhaps you've been confused by
hearing people talk about rice and
finding out afterward that they meant
the noun rise" Well, they were
wrong, too. A straw vote Of the best
modern dictionaries hands the prefer
ence to "rize" as the proper pronoun-
citation
Another word that Is frequently
mispronounced is depot. 1t should be
"deepo." not "deppo" or "daypo."
Our old friend. Jean Vatican, OF
course, Is properly ''Zhan Valzhan,'
and the great state of Kansas is pro-
nounced as though the first were a
T. The folks who insist on making 1t
soft are all to the bad.
]. Pierpont Morgan is "fnnan-
seer" not a "fynanseer."
The Renaissance Is pronounced
"renesans," accent on the last sylla-
BILE, not Renaysans. and Salome gets
her last syllable pronounced
Poets are filed with the divine ''af-
fiaytus." not the divine "afflaatus."
The ruler Of Japan is the mikado,
with the accent on the second sylla-
BILE, as all serious minded students Of
Gilbert and Sullivan know, and never
the mickadoo.
Gibberish Is pronounced with hard
g, and not "jibberish." and the word
fiaccid Is "Haksid" nor "flasid."
Amateur Is "amaturr," not anna
toor" or "amachoor."
The ntipodes-Australia, you
know-are pronounced "antipodeez."
When the wind soughs through the
branches it "sows"; never "suffs."
A faucet is a ''fawsett," not 'fas-
set"
These are only few examples.
The book contains two thousand
words, which are commonly mispro-
nounced, and eight hundred proper
names, which are frequently improp-
erly spoken. A little study of it will
enable you to bawl out almost any of
your friends frequently, besides tend
ing to improve your own vocabulary
Careless and slipshod enunciation
among presumably cultivated people,
the author says, lis probably more
common in the United States than in
any other country in the world. A
Frenchman is proud of his speech and
treats it as fine art, while an Amer
lean regards his speech with indif-
ference or contempt"

FEED INSPECTORS STRICT.

Little Rock, April 17.-State feed

facturer had on hand large quantity

IOWAN PRAISES ARKANSAS.

Little Rock, April 18.-W. A.
Brown, an Iowa visitor at the depart
ment of agriculture Thursday, after
having travelled over portion of the
state, was free in his praise of Arkan-
sas, and declared immigration will
soon be headed this way in great vol
ume. He says Canada is not entitled
to the settlers it has been getting,
when it is far behind Arkansas in
natural resources.
