Judith felt all at once like vase in which

He pulled open a drawer and took
from it three water color drawings of

locked with single ruby surrounded by
pearls: another was equally chaste, of plat

third, two strong ropes of gold closely inter-

Judith opened her lips; but not a sound
came. The editors eyes remained on the

bespoke taste and expenditure. She put her

nF Henry Irving we are told that to

added almost childlike eagerness to adopt
any suggested improvement in his manner of
delivery. A blind man once offered an IL
Illuminating criticism on his Shylock. The
sensitive ear of the sightless auditor de-
tected fault in Irving's opening line:
Three thousand ducats-well

was the blind mans subsequent comment to
Irving himself. at is said with the refec-
tive air of man to whom money means
very little"
the justice of the criticism was acknowl-
edged by Irving. He revised his reading,
not only of the first line, but of several
others in which he now saw that he had not
been enough of the moneylender.
GEORGE ELIOT in "Middlemarch" sup
plies a classic instance of the value
of the accent When Lyndgate, sore dis
tressed at the failure of all his professional
and financial plans, comes to his wife for
sympathy, she meets him with the query:

Whereon the author comments, THAT
little speech of four words, like so many
others in all languages, is capable of express
ing all states of mind, from helpless dimness
to exhaustive argumentative perception,
from the completest self-devoting fellowship
to the most neutral aloofness. Rosamund's
thin utterance threw into the words What
can do?' as much neutrality as they could
hold. They ell like mortal chill on Lynd-
gates rouseI tenderness"

THERE are many words so habitua1ly

THERE are many words SO habitually
mispronounced that the correct accent
(i.e., the accent favored by the dictionaries)
would appear wrong if anybody used it in
current conversation. This, of course,
means that common usage has overridden
the dictionary and established new stan
dard which the dictionary of the future will
have to respect, just as the those of today re-
spect the pronunciation of "len" that they
rejected in the past. Such words are co.
caine and ptomaine, which the dictionary of
the present recognizes as trisyllables, thus:
co'-ca-ine, pto'-ma-ine.
Anyone familiar with French-a language
that may be said to possess no accented syl-
lables-will understand Taine's complaint
about London restaurants,-that whenever
he ordered potatoes the waiter invariably
served him with buttered toast.
And of course it was another Frenchnan
who made jest Of matrimony by pronounc-
ing it ma-trim' -ony.
MARX LEMON records story about
AvA Lord Chancellor Eldon and Sir Arthur
Pigott. The first always pronounced the
spelled lien (quasi ion); the latter pro-
nounced it in one syllable, lean, just as it
would be pronounced in ordinary converse
ton. On this difference Jelyll wrote an
epigram:
Sir Arthur, Sir Arthur. why what do you
mean,
BY saying the chancellor's lion is lean.
Do you think that his Kitchens SO bad as all
that,
That nothing within it will ever get fat?
TORD ELDON'S pronunciation of this
- legal term was not unknown at one time
in America. Witness an anecdote about
Lincoln. He once appeared in the Supreme
Court in case involving lien upon piece
of property.
The presiding Judge was noted alike for
obstinacy and pedantry. Lincoln, referring
to the lien, pronounced it "lean.' This visi-
bly, affected his Honor.
@Lfen, Mr.. Lincoln he gently remon-
strated.
Every WE'LL said Lincoln. But little
later he forgot himself and out came the
pronunciation 3lean." :
Once more he was corrected by the Judge.
@As you please retorted Lincoln, some
what nettled.
"Not as 1 please came from the bench.
@That is the pronunciation favored by Web
ster and by Worcester. 1t so obtains at
Westminster Hall, and also at our own SUI
prerne Court in Washington"
Lincoln had now recovered his constitu-
tional good humor. Bowling to the court.
