sept 29.-There are better ways Of
learning Spanish than by the aid Of
little red bound handbOoks.
The little red bound handbOoks
themselves admit this and suggest in
nearly every instance that IL would
be wise for the beginner 10 learn
first something Of the native intona-
ton and pronunciation. IL might
be added that a knowledge Of gest-
ures anS the language itself might
help.
But the little red handbook will
teach one 20 ask: What is that large
building over there Q" and 20 inform
casual acquaintance: MY father and
mother are abroad. and also my
brother and sister" In their way
they do considerable good. And, in
their way. they lead sometimes to
embarrassment
To the credit Of both the Ameri-
can private and officer. il may be
said that they try TO accumulate a
working knowledge Of the language
Of the country where the expedition
awaits orders.
Sergeant a Student.
The best instance under personal
observation was seen at FL Vale,
where a red necked sergeant was
DOssing "a score Of shivering Mexicans
in an effort 20 rebuild the engineers
bridge over the cold. rampant Santa
Maria river
"Eey. you authenticated hom-
bre.' he cried cit busy and get
that there two-be-four more alta.
Higher, you hombre, higher! Leggo
that rope. HON bre.
These orders were carried out with
perfect understanding and the value
of an advanced education thus dem
Onstrated.
ON the other hand
There is a certain captain who
brides himself ON his knowledge Of
Spanish. Measured by the grammar,
the dictionary and the little red
handbook il was better Spanish than
that Of the engineers sergeant But
as to praCtica bility--
The captain was out with a little
scouting party some miles from camp.
The party was attempting 20 find
certain ranch hcuse and had been
quite unsuccessful While the cap
tain was consulting his map native
horseman rode up and was about 10
pass when the captain hailed him
The native tipped his som brero
politely and listened patiently while
the captain addressed him at length.
The rest OF the party were impressed.

POETS AS PUNSTERS.
Even Shakespeare and Milton Broke
Into This Form of Humor.

Shakespeare was an inveterate pun
ster and DR.. Johnson in his preface to
an edition to the poets works deplores
his habit of punning son serious occa-
sions Hamlet is made TO pun when
he asks the gravedigger:
"Whose graves thisY
Mine. sir" answers the clown.
Hamlet replies:
II think it be thine indeed, for thou
Hest int" and adds later, Thou dost
lie int to be int and say it is thine
To King Richards question, What
comfort, man? How is't with ancient
Gaunt?" Shakespeare makes Gaunt re-
ply: "Old Gaunt indeed and gaunt in
being old. Within me grief has kept
tedious fast. And who abstains from
meat that is not gaunty'
Milton is the last poet one would
think to be guilty Of punning, and yet
he once wrote punning epitaph upon
q carrier who piled between Cambridge
and London and who died after losing
his trade on account of the plague
This carrier was the HobsOn whose
"choice'' is so famous. He used to hire
out horses, but travellers had to take
the horse Hobson offered or none, so
that "Hobson's choice" came to mean
no choice at all.
The whole poem, written on the death
of this carrier, is full of puns. One pas
sage runs:
Rest that gives all men life gave him his
death,
And too much breathing put him out of
breath;
Nor were it contradiction to affirm
Toe long vacation FASTENED on his term.
Cowper made a pun which has be-
come quite famous. In the poem de
scribing the ride Of John Gilpin, who
had to go where his horse took him
and eventually arrived at the house Of
a friend from whom the horse had
been borrowed, Gilpin says:
l came because your horse would come.
And if l we'll forbode,
My hat and wig will soon be here.
They are upon the road.
Tom Hoods humorous poetry is full
of puns. In "The Lady's Dream" he
writes:
They talked together like two cyclists
In conversation all made up Of eyes.
And in THE Mermaid Of Margate" he
says:
On Margate beach, where the sick one
roamS
And the sentimental reads,
Where the maiden flirts and the widow
comes
Like the ocean-to cast her weeds.
But examples could be multiplied in
definitely. Hoods best known pun
reads
His death, which happened in his berth,
At forty odd befell.
They went and told the sexton, and
The sexton tolled the bell.

OLD TIME SUNDAY LAWS.
Rigid Rules For Harvard Students Two
Centuries AQo.

In 1.-The Story of Harvard" Mr.. Ar
thur Stanwood Pier gives an account
of the strict regulations formerly set
dowp for the guidance Of the Harvard
undergraduates by the president and
the fellows Of the corporation. The
old laws, intended TO enforce upon the
undergraduates more religious and
studious life, would be considered re-
pressive and tyrannical today.
All the scholars shall at sunset in
the evening preceding the Lords day
retire to their chambers and not un.
necessarily leave them, and all disor-
der on said evening shall be punished
as violations Of the Sabbath are. -
And whatsoever shall profane said day
the Sabbath-by unnecessary bust
ness or visiting, walking In the COM
mons or in the streets or fields, In the
town of Cambridge, or by any sort Of
diversion before sunset, or that In the
evening Of the Lords day shall behave
himself disorderly or in any way un-
becoming the season, shall be fined not
exceeding 10 shillings.
IdI SIuueHlS ludy luIllSu Iuclu-
selves with useful learning, they shall
keep in their respective chambers and
diligently follow their studies, except
half an hour at breakfast, at dinner
for from l. to 2 and after evening
prayers till after o of the clock. To
that end the tutors shall frequently
visit their chambers after 8 o'clock in
the evening and at other studying
times, to quicken them to their bust
ness"
1t does not seem that under such a
system of vigilance and visitation the
students could fall into very dissolute
ways. But few years later George
Whitefield, the famous evangelist who
so stirred up New England, visited
Harvard college and expressed his dis
pleasure at the disSipated habits Of
the young men. He declared condi-
tons at oxford were no worse, a
charge SO damaging that it greatly dis
turbed and incensed the college au-
thorities.

MIXED 1T WITH MYSTERY.
But the Secret of Portland Cement-Was
Solved by Busybody.

Portland cement may be defined as
product made by burning limestone and
clay, which have been mixed so as 70
form a certain composition, and grind
ing the resulting "clinker" to powder.
In the early days much mystery sur
rounded the manufacture Of Portland
cement when it was first discovered by
q bricklayer of Leeds, England He
found that by mixing water with a
compound of Thames chalk and Med
way mud he could compound an artif1-
cial water cement and determined that
no one should discover his secret.
When employed in manufacturing his
raw mixture he is said to have attired
himself in a long black gown and the
pointed hat of the mystic and to have
recited mysterious incantations during
his operations.
But curious onlooker who deter
mined to ascertain his ingredients and
methods had a sample analysed by Il
chemist, whose result showed 90 per
he had solved the secret. he began to
calc1ne all the bones he could gather up
in the village, much to the discomfort
and objections of his neighbors. who
finally induced him to desist. Follow
ing, however, the old system Of cut
and-try, he finally solved the problem
and eventually produced a cement
equal to that Of the original com
FOUNDER, and the great industry began
to thrive at once.
In this country the Portland cement
industry had its beginnings in the Lee
high valley in Pennsylvania, chiefly in
Lehigh and Northampton counties,
where John w. Eckert, chemist, dis
covered that there occurred a lime
stone composed of approximately the
correct ingredients necessary for the
manufacture of Portland cement

The Three Scutaris.

BY this time we should all know
enough about the near east not to con-
found the various Scutaris-the one in
Albania, the one opposite Constantine
pie and the one in southern Greece. 1t
is curious that each name comes from
different original form. The Greek
Scutari is otherwise Scatari; the AL
bantam one is the Illyrian Scodra, and
the Asiatic one is the Turkish Uskudar.

A certain professor is unusually cour-

One day he made a bonfire in his back

through the dry stubble, frightened

imminent danger. SO he ran wildly
down the street. crying at the top Of
his voice.

abrupt and urgent. he politely added,
