In Simple Language.

Beware of the habit of using big
words. Like other habits, 1t grows
upon its victim. A horrible example
is instanced by the Philadelphia Pub.
lie Ledger.
The superintendent of a Sunday
school in Philadelphia recently called
upon visitor to SAY a few words
to the school, the members of which
are mostly children Of tender age.
The visitor, a speaker. well known
for his verbose and circumlocutory
manner Of speech. began his address
as follows:
This morning, children, l purpose
to offer you an epitome of the life of
Saint Paul. 1t may be, perhaps, that
there are among you some too young
to grasp the meaning Of the word
'epitome.' Epitome,' children, is in
its Specification synonymous with

uldn I surprise us, as Phil was in

Inc singing went on, and as he didn't
come IN, we went to meet him and
opened the door. The next room was
tiny ante-room opening into another
sitting room, and beyond this again
was the smallest of bedrooms-not
bigger than a cupboard. There was
nobody there, but the singing went
on; such curious singing, too; strange
alien, faint, tinkly, as If four confused
voices were singing the song of an
earlier century; It was unreal and It
had kind Of burr in it, as If YOU
were listening to voices on a tele-
phone that is out Of order. We walk
ed through the rooms and we walked
through the singing, and we heard
1t behind us still going on; and in
the bedroom we found our friend
asleep In his bed. Then the singing
stopped. Now, as we walked through
the sitting room, noticed my friends
