Odd North English Dialect.

A strange set of numerals was used
by the elder generation of farmers in
II of u northern dales, especially
for counting sheep, and the procedure
was as follows:
a gap was made in the wall just
wide enough to admit one sheep at a
time, and as the sheep were driven
through the farmer counted them,
making a notch i'll his stick at every
fifteen.
Phonetically the numerals sound like
yam, tame, tether, neither, pip, sax,
sane, CATERER, wheeler, dick, yann-er-
dick, ~tane-ar-dick, te~th-er-dick. neither
er-dick, boomft."
"Boomfit' was fifteen. and so a notch
was made in the stick. and the strange
chant began all ove again.-London

Washington is the one which every
visitor to the Cape Verde islands viii
remember as one of the most colossal
and marvellous freaks of natural sculp-
ture In existence. Along the farther
side Of the harbor of San Vicente, the
principal town, rises d bold ridge of
dark gray volcanic rocks, the crest Of
which forms an exact likeness of our
immortal George, seemingly lying face
upward, as If in a peaceful sleep. The
hero's large, bold features, the back
ward wave OF the hair, his massive
shoulders and even the frill of the shirt
front are all reproduced on a gigantic
scale with wonderful exactness. The
strange monument, sharply outlined
against the deep blue of the tropical
sky, is n Of the first objects that
meet ones W in approaching the
island.
