An illustration of the awful posi-.
bilities Of the misuse Of gotten" for
got" says a correspondent in The
Writer, is given by the story Of the
man who telegraphed to his wife:
Have gotten tickets for the opera to,
night. Meet me there at 7:45." She
met him there at 7:45 with eight
friends, for the telegram when Il
reached her read: Have got ten
tickets" The use Of gotten" for
got" is q mark Of ignorance. rather
than refinement. Gotten" is used by
those who desire to be thought 'gen.

Also the plan of building multiple
windows is a relief to the large gables.
Such windows are large enough to ad-
NIT light in abundance to the upper

windows which are light enough to
light the house are sensible and should
remain in fashion a long time.

the east coast of North America on

To your right as you enter the front
door is the large living room, 21 by 13
feet In size. The main decorative fea-
ture of this splendid large living room
Is q very handsome fireplace. There
is a good deal OF millwork In this end
of the room, which seems to reach out
and extend the general design both to
the parlor and dining room. These
two rooms are connected by an extra
wide archway, SO that the two rooms
may be used together when occasion
requires.
The china cupboard in the dining

observers, according TO Doctor Hovey
had noted an increase of seismic
shocks for year or more before the
volcano burst into violent eruption In
May 1902. The eruption itself, how
ever, was free from earthquakes, he
said' except apparently from the

quakes, but never before so severely as
from that which occurred in Calabria
and Sicily on December 2S, 1908,
when 100000 human beings are sup
posed to have lost their lives
That disaster was very similar to
the one at Ayezzano, so far as cause
is concerned, according to Prof. J. f.
Kemp, head of the department of ge-
ology at Columbia university. Mount
Etna had poured forth so much lava
that a fracture had been created in
the earth's crust, and the natural re-
suit came in the form Of a readjust-
ment. 1t is, he says, probable that
other fractures now exist, and 1t is
certainly to be expected that other
earthquakes will occur in Italy.
The western coast of Italy. from
Ischla and Naples, around to the ex-
tremity Of Sicily, Is a line of weak
ness in the earth's crust, where vol,
canoes give vent to melted and crushed
matter far down beneath the surface,
and by doing so caused a slipping
among Ioosened strata. This goes on
almost necessarily, and every few
years so jars the outlying rocks as to
upset human eTections on the sur
face.
The Italian government took a
great responsibility when 1t permit
ted Sasamicciola and similar towns to
be rebuilt in the same old fashion
after such destruction as overlook
the Ischian watering place in 1888,
or Messina more lately.
The statistics of the destruction of
life by earthquake compiled by the cell
ebrated seismologist, Professor Milne,
and mentioning only the most notable
instances, are appalling. In India in
1893, 100000 persons were killed by
a single shock, four-fifths of them in
a single city. Japan lost 100000 at
one time in 1903. In 1869, $4,000 were
killed at Messina; in 1893. 75.OOO and
in 1908, probably 100000.
"The perfecting Of instruments for
the purpose of recording movements
of every kind in the surface of the
earth has vastly extended our knowl-
edge of the character of earth vibra-
tions and enhanced the value of deduc-
tions affecting the theory of earth
quakes," said Doctor Hovey.

he added, "but certain regions or

Retaining Youth.

Owing to the very prevalent idea
that education, like teething, is pain
full, necessary process to be got over
in early youth, mary adult males and
females are really inaccessible to new
ideas. This, indeed, is the supreme

is open to new ideas he remains
