Keen, enjoyed his feightieth birthday, that other eminent scholar, Joseph G. Rosengarten, called to pay his respects, And Mr. Rosengarten told a story, writes Girard in the Phil- adelphia Ledger. He was riding in a diligence in Switzerland when he. heard voices from without which made him think that at least one of them was an Amer- tean.. So he hailed them: in English, As there was no response, the Phil- adelphia linguist called out In French. Still there was no reply to his saluta- tion, and Mr. Rosengarten spoke in German, but he was greeted only with ‘silence. “Finally,” said he, “I thought 1 would try a little Latin, whereupon a rotund voice from on top of the vehicle ‘called down: “That's you, Joe Rosengarten. I’m sure of it, because you never could pro nounce Latin correctly.’” The other American aboard was Dr. Horace Howard Furness, “This incident,” sald the philosophic Mr. Rosengarten, “convinces one that he may be identified by his mistakes as well as by his victories.”—Girard, in Philadelphia Ledger.

Washington—From many letters re- ceived daily the War department learns that registration and selective draft are being confounded. These are separate and distinct processes. Regis- trations simply the enrolling of all male residents of the United States be- tween the ages of twenty-one and thir- ty, inclusive. Every male resident be- tween the designated ages must regis- ter on the date set by the president's proclamation unless he is in the regu- lar army, navy, the National Guard, or naval militia, actually-in. the federal service, The enrolling is done in each voting precinct by a registrar’ appointed for the purpose. The duties of the regis- trar are mandatory and are performed under the sanction of an oath. Nothing is left to his discretion. He is lable to heavy penalty, imprisonment with no alternative of fine, for making false return, or in any way being a party to or conniving at practices of favorit. ism or evasion. A like penalty im- pends over the individual who fails to register. The later process of selection will be made by lot from the names en- tered on the registration rolls. Full fuformation as to exemptions and methods of selection will be published later. For the present it is all im- portant that the primary duty of regis- tration be impressed ‘upon ‘all be, are subject to it, A PARDONABLE MISTAKE “What, going to fight a duel?
