Queer Pronunciations.

There are many names Of places In
England that puzzle the stranger.
Happisburgh, in Norfolk, Aor instance.
Is pronounced "Hazeboro," Abergaven-
ny simply drops syllable and becomes
"Abergenny," and it is alleged that st
Neots sounds more like "Snoots" than
anything else Cirencester seems to
vary from Sister to ''Sizeter." In Suf-
folk Waldringfeld is "Wunnerful" and
Chelmondiston "Chimston," while in
the adjoining county of Norfolk Hun
stanton is .'Hunston," and In the west
country Badgeworthy is "Badgery''
and Cornwood "Kernood." Hunting
donshire claims the purest English,
but they call Papworth "Parpor." And
not far from there a motorist turned
upon rough road and asked the in
telligent laborers where it would take
him. "That road" said the honest
countryman, wiping his brow, "win
take you to Ell, SIR" The courageous
motorist went on and found Ellsworth,
which is pronounced "Elser." Man.
chester Guardian.

Don't attempt to punish all your
enemies at once. You can't do a large
business with small capital Don't

never said word about 1t. Don't wor-
ry about another mans business. A
little self1shness is sometimes COM
mendable. Don't imagine that you can
correct all the evils In the world. A
grain of sand is not prominent In a
desert. Don't mourn over fancied
grievances. Bide your time and zeal
sorrow will come. Don't throw dust In
your teachers eyes. 1t win only injure
the pupil. Don't worry about the ice
crop. Keep cool and you win have
enough Don't borrow q coach to

little sulsy. Don't imagine that every
thing is weakening. Butter is strong
in this market. Don't publish your
acts of charity. The Lord win keep

Peru's Violent Contrasts In Climate,
Altitude and Scenery.
Were to be exiled and confined for
the rest Of my life to one country I
should choose Peru.
Here is every altitude. every cli-
mate, every scene. Coastal Peru is an
Egypt, central Peru Tibet, eastern
Peru Kongo country. The Ifeless
desert and the teeming Jungle, the hot
test lowlands and the bleakest high
lands. heaven piercing peaks ana riv-
ers racing through canyons-all are of
Peru.
Here one meets with the highest til.
lage. the highest mines. the highest
steamboat navigation. The crassest
heathenism flourishes two days In the
saddle from noble cathedrals, and the
bustling ports are counterpoised by Sc
cluded inland towns where the past
lies miraculously preserved, Hike the

RISE OF THE KRUPPS.
The Great German Gun Works Started
In Small Iron Foundry.

The Great German Gun Works Started
In Small Iron Foundry.
The famous German armament firm
Of Krupp. which is the greatest indus
trial enterprise In the world In the
hands Of a private firm, had its begin
ming in small iron foundry which
Friedrich Krupp established dn the ear
ly years of the last century.
For thirty years he had to cope with
constant financial and other difficulties,
and the reputation Of Krupp, which
now fills the world. is said to have
originated through a block OF steel
which the firm showed at the London
exhibition Of 1851.
1t was the rapid growth of Prussia
into a military power Of the first rank,
however, followed by the unifcation Of
Germany and the consequent creation
OF the vast German army, which gave
the firm its great opportunity, and ul-
timately its almost unexampled pros
perity, as the manufacturers of artil-
lery and ammunition.
Other powers. not only in Europe,
but eventually in Asia and on the
American continent, followed the Ger
man example in their. attempts to per-
feet their armaments. and Krupp re-
ceived a great part of their orders.
The business representation of the
great firm was extended throughout
the world and assumed the dimensions
OF the diplomatic service of govern
ment-London Answers.

prohlbltion In the United States

Four ont of every Eve square feet of
the United States is .sdry" territory.
More that half of the people of the ma
tion live under prohibition.
Eighty per cent of the territory of the
United States is 'tdry." OF the 2,e73, 800
square railes that go to make up conti-
mental United States only 737.8a8 miles
are "wet.'' The remaining 2,236, ,o62
are without saloons.
The last census gives the population of
the United States as 9T.o72. 266 persons.
Ofthese 54 per cent. or 4S,IIs,3e4 reside
in territory in which the sale of liquor is
prohibited.
The winning of five States in recent
elections gives the anti-saloou forces the
majority. In September Virginia adopted
prohibition. and on November 3 Arizona,
Colorado, Oregon and Washington were
added to the list. Now "a States are
totally dry, and no States are totally wet.
Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Montana
and Nevada, all mining and lumber sec.
tions, are the only States which have
only minor prohibition areas. In every
other State the drys hold territorial
advantage.
In 1868 there were $500, 900 persons
residing in territory in which the sale
of liquor was prohibited. In 1900 the
number had increased to IS, 600, 900. In
1908 the number had doubled, reaching
10000. 900, and today it is more than
$4,000, 900.
The South has for many years been in
the lead in the fight for prohibition In
1907 Georgia passed prohibition law,
though not statewide. Within a year
Oklahoma was admitted to the Union
with constitutional prohibition against
liquor; Alabama and Mississippi followed.
In 1908 prohibition was voted into the
constitution of North Carolina. Tennes
see followed in 1909. Alabama is the
only Southern State which has dropped
out of the prohibition column, doing SC
IN 1917, by repeating the prohibitory Law
and adopting local option measure. In
1913 West Virginia voted out saloons.
The following are the States in which
the sale of liquor is prohibited Maine,

Hardly an lmnroxament.

Duncan's wife had the reputation of
being first class shrew. When Dun

Widow Duncan was wild. 1t was
meant as slam at her, and she knew
it was. 1t meant that she did not let

The neighbors assured her that It
was not meant that way.
