improper Use of Don't"

There is nothing incorrect about the
elision of '''do' and mot which makes
don't" if it is used correctly. But
there lis scarcely another word in the
English language which is so often
used incorrectly. 1t is a strange thing,
but We often hear otherwise educated
people using this elided form on the
negative in the singular, people who
would not think of using the affirma-
tive of it as singular. ''She don't and
The DON'T are just as disagreeable to
the cultivated ear as "she do" and The
do" would be and it is astonishing that
anyone of the most elementary gram
matieai knowledge could be so deaf
TO the values of English speech as to
use them. Still the mistake is annoy
ingIy common. Recently we even
heard an actor, playing the part of a
gentleman of refinement, say "she
don't love me- Ugh! And, if actors
cannot at least speak our mother
tongue dramatically, what are they
good for? Remember, it is just as easy
to be right and say "she does nor or
doesn't. Ohio State Journal.

Volcanic Islands.

The first of the Bogoslof group of
the Aleutian islands was born 12G
years ago. There was a great Ncontul-
sion in the Behring sea, about twenty
five miles north of Unalaska, and an
island appeared above the surface of
the stormy waters. This iSlet, which
rose to a height of nearly 1900 feet
above sea level, was christened Be-
goSlof by the Russians, who then
owned Alaska. 1t remained solitary
until 1882, when another volcanic erup-
ton in the sea was followed by the
birth of another island near the first
For two years the new island was the
scene of an active eruption. Then it
cooled gradually, and, like the first
iSlet, became the home of seals and
sea lions and the breeding ground for
sea birds. The third of the Bogoslof
group was born ten years ago. The
baby" was smaller than its elder sis
ter, being about a third of q mile in
diameter and with an altitude of some
600 feet, but the following year anotia-
er CONFUSION of nature resulted ia
nearly doubling its area. Since then
several other islands have been born
In various parts of the Aleutian chain.
