ORDEAL OF GRAMMAR.
How IL Came to Be Inflicted Upon an
Unoffending Public.

How Il Came to Be Inflicted Upon an
Unoffendins Public.
The world reached its highest known
stage Of intelligence before grammar
was even invented, much less studied.
l have had some curiosity to find out
where and how so great a blight upon
young life first came into being and
why 1t ever became a school study,
and find that the Greeks knew 1t
not; that their triumphant literature
and their matchless oratory came to
flower before grammar was dreamed
or; that 1t was not in any sense one
OF the great arts which they wrought
out and with which they armed the
human race.
l find that after Greece had declined
q barbarous Macedonian made himself
the owner OF all Egypt, and in order to
surround himself with the most spec
tacular form of ostentation of which
his vain mind could conceive he set to
collecting not only all the rare and
precious objects and books and manu-
scripts there We're in the world, but he
capped 1t all by making collection of
the living men Of the world who had
any reputation anywhere for knowing
and thinking. Taking them from their
homes where they had some relation
to the daily necessities of human be-
ings and had really been of some use,
he shut them up for life in one of his
palaces at Alexandria, which the folks
there were In the habit of calling ''the
hencOOp Of the muses." and out Of
sheer desperation, since they could do
nothing better to amuse themselves,
they counted the words In the books
which real men had written and pre-
pared tables of the forms and endings
which the users Of words employed.
The lifeless dregs Of books which
their distilling left we now call gram
mar and study instead of books and
even speech itself. In their lowest
depth of Indifference to the moving,
pulsing life Of man not even the Alex
andrians sank SO low as that.-Ernest
G. Moore in Yale Review.

It 10 Splendid FIyin9-Magnit1eent
SO high they were little more than
specks. Out of the hangers on the
cliffs our own planes began to be run.
The anti-aircraft guns-Archies they
call them in England-began to bark.
But bark was all they did, for we
could see the shrapnel burst way short
Of the enemy fliers.
The British were quick In getting up,
but the planes were so high that they
had passed over us before our boys
were close enough to do them any
damage. We had mostly heavy hydro
planes at that time, not speedy enough
to keep up with the swift German war
machines.
Presently there was another cry.
Two more machines had been spotted.
They were flying low.
"Must be couple Of our own" says
some one.
mo, they're Boches, all right" re-
ports an officer with glasses.
They must be travelling about 100
miles an hour. One swerves out over
the harbor. Something shoots out from
beneath 1t. There is the roar Of an
explosion. A bomb has burst forty
yards or so from destroyer lying at
anchor.
Anti-aircraft guns begin sprinkling
shrapnel around the plane which Is
out over the harbor. It is almost close
enough now for machine guns. Sew

the destroyers. It swoops down.
"Must be hit says man at my
elbow.
Attacks the Destroyers.
1t does seem SO, for the plane is ca
reening straight for the wireless mast
Of another destroyer, just skimming
the water. 1t is splendid fying-mag-
nificent.
With machine gun splitting the pilot
shoots gracefully upward, just clearing
the wireless mast and spraying lead all
over the deck of the vessel. Then he
sweeps on over the shore in the direc-
ton his fellows had gone.

going to say was lost in roar that
shook the earth we stood on.
We turn round and cape at jagged
pit which has been blown in the pa
rade ground too close to us to be COM
Portable. In our interest in the aero
plane fight with the destroyer we had
forgotten the one which circled over
the bluffs. a.g~.g r.
The people of Dover must be accus-
toned to such raids, for there is ne ex-
element, no scurrying for protection.
Every one now turns his attention to
the second plane. Straight over the
town it. flies. There is another roar
rather muffled one. 1t has reduced
to dust and splinters several rooms in
the hotel, including the suit de luxe.
One more crash before the Boche be.

time the bomb leaves a hole in the
paved street where before there had
been cart and horse.

Fright and the Hair.

The hair does stand on end under
certain conditions. because there is
q little muscle down at the root Of
each hair that will make each hair
stand up straight when this muscle
pulls q certain way. T 1t is difficult to
say just how these muscles are caused
to act in this way when we are fright
ened. We know that when thoroughly
frightened our hair will sometimes
stand straight up, and we know that
it is this muscle ut the root Of each
hair that makes it possible, says the
Book Of Wonders, but why it Is that
q big scare will make this muscle act
this way we do not as yet know.

CHICAGO. March 27.-GeneraI
Barry commanding the central di-
vision has issued sealed orders for
the disposition of the thirty nine
military guard units under arms in
the central division. There is strict
censorship. No announcement was
made concerning the assignment OF
the troops. 1t is learned the assign
ments are fixed largely upon the
recommendations of the department
of justice. The elaborate system has
worked for months collecting infor-
nation regarding the dangerous
points as hostilities draw near. Con-
ferences here were attended by se-
cret agents from Washington. It is
believed they conveyed information
too confidential for the mails. There
is the biggest recruiting campaign
since the Civil War in the central
west.
