But if the Massachusetts man goes up into New Hampshire and inquires for what he calls Coose county or Cooze county the natives of Co-os county wonder where he went to school. And, in Maine, Saco is the test word that Dbetrays the stranger within the state. For variety of pronunciation by those who don’t know that word of only four letters is believed to hold the record. They used to tell the story tha each train bearing summer visitors started up from Biddeford, just across the river, the brakeman announced thus: “The next station is Sayko-Sacko- Sarco-Sawko- Sayso-Sasso-Sarso-Saw- so!” Maine people will tell you that it is pronounced exactly as it is spelled— S-a-c-0, Sawko. Any ) e 1:an recognizes a fellow Maine 21 onee by his pronuncia- tion of & town nav:e.—Boston Globe. Tennyson’s Rhymes. As an example of faulty rhyming the great Alfred Tennyson is being | held up by an English critic as in the very forefront of offenders. He is shown to have taken license as a great i poet that would have damned any small rhymer. The critic gives as ex- amples of Tennyson's imperfect rhymes “river” and “ever,” “given” and “heav- en,” which are considered too conven- tional to be criticised. He then passes on to the famous “Charge of the Light Brigade,” where Tennyson, with the inaccurate ear of the thorough Briton. {rhymes “onward” and ‘“hundred,” “said” and “‘dismayed,” “hundred” and “thundered.” “hundred” and “blunder- ed,” “hundred” and “wondered,” all in that one short poem. One may look in vain through the works of Longfellow, | Bryant, Lowell or any American poet {of the first rank for such orthoepical blundering, which passes without ques- tion among Britons. Yucatan’s: Water Caverns. Since Yucatan. where the Mayas | built their strange cities, is of coral limestone formation, it follows that it would have been a desert but for its subterranean rivers and the cenotes, or water caverns, which give access to them. The Mayas noted the courses of the underground streams and built their towns round the cenotes. Many cenotes are now found surrounded by ruins and give indications of the methods employed by the Mayas to reach their cool waters. In Uxmal a cenote about forty feet deep is inhabit- ed by a peculiar species of fish. At Bolanchen there is a cenote having }five openings in the rocks at the bot- tom of the cavern. Ladders made by tying three trunks together lead down a total distance of 1,400 feet, but the perpendicular depth from the surface to the water is not more than 500 feet. —Exchange. Chinese and Chinaman, On the subject of surprising modern words it is notable that the Oxford dictionary finds no earlier instance of “Chinaman,” in the sense of a native of China, than 1854, when Emerson so used it. The previous word was “Chi- nese,” from which the plural “Chi- neses”™ was formed by Milton and his contemporaries, and the false singular “Chinee” by modern Americans. But “Chinaman” in another sense, that of a dealer in china, was in use long be- fore 1854. The Oxford dictionary gives three instances of it from London di- rectories of 1772, 1801 and 1819, but does not notice that in 1763 one “John Crowther, Chinaman,” was gazetted bankrupt. “Chinawoman” in a simi- lar sense goes back to Ben Jonson.— London Chronicle. 1 A Monument to Cheerfulness. The following quaint epitaph is to be seen in Crayford churchyard, Kent. It strikes one as one of the prettiest monuments to cheerfulness in all Mer- rie England: “Here lieth the body of Peter Isnel (thirty years clerk of this parish). He lived respected as a pious and a mirthful man and died on his way to church to assist at a wedding on the 31st day of March, 1811, aged seventy years. The inhabitants of Crayford have raised this stone to his cheerful memory and as a tribute to his long and faithful service.”—London Standard. Dutch Humor. Here are two specimen jokes from Dutch papers of the day: Mr. Newly Rich (to landlord) — T hear you have raised all your rents. ‘Why haven’t you raised mine as well? I can’t imagine how I have merited such an insuit to my dignity. A.—I wouldn't like to be standing in your shoes just now. B.—Why? A.— Because they are in the cellar, and twenty tons of coal have been dumped over them. Worth Trying. Mrs. Binks—The people in the next suit to ours are awfully annoying. They pound on the wall every time our Mamie sings. I wish we knew of some way to drive them out of the flat. “Why not have Mamie keep on sing- ing?’—Cleveland Plain Dealer. An Inheritance. “She claims that her ancestors stvod torturing with redhot pincers.” “I believe it. She can wear shoes three sizes too small and look happy.” —Harper's Bazar. A Moving Force. “What is the force that makes the world move?’ asked the teacher. “The landlord,” replied Johnny Hard- uppe promptly.—Philadelphia Record. Riding & Giraffe. -General Wood of the English army was the hero of many adventures, but the one he called ‘the strangest is the time be rode a giraffe in India. With a party of friends he was being en: tertained by the rajah of Jowra, who exhibited his rare collection of wild animals to his- guests. General (then Major) Wood was a daring horseman and on a wager offered to ride the giraffe with no bridle save a rope. The rajah warned him of the danger. but he would not listen. So the giraffe was brought to a balcony. from which the mdjor vaulted on its back. In- stantly the great creature was off like the wind. and, once fairly started, it settled down into a curious gallep that soon made the rider so sick and dizzy that he fell off like a log, receiving a blow on the head from the animal's knee and then in the face from its foot. He was unconscious for an hour, and the first use he made of his voice was to resolve that he would neyer ride a giraffe again. Gratitude. Mrs. Gringo—Steve. why do you ap- plaud that wretched clarinet player? Gringo—1 applauded him because he quit playing.—Chicago Tribune. The reward of one duty done is the power to fulfill another.—Eliot. The quicker a cold is gotten rid of the less the danger from pneumonia and other serious diseases. Mr. B. W. L. Hall, of Waverly, Va., says: “I firmly Dbelieve Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy to be absolutely the best preparation on the market for colds. I have recommended it to my friends and they all agree with me.” r sale by Barke; Drug Store. 2L R. F. MURPHY FUNERAL DIRECTOR AND EMBALMER * Office’313 Beltrami Ave. Phone 319-2.
