One of the commonest mistakes made
iu Lngltsh says a London paper. Is the
use of the word "lalil ' for "lay." Even
In the Times one reads "he laid down '
tar "he lay down."
"Firstly" is a word much misused
even by such learned people as clergy-
men. "First" being both an adjective
and an adverb the correct thing to bay
is "First secondly thirdly.' etc.
"From" is often used instead of the
preposition "of." "He died of typhus
fever ' is the correct mode not "he died
from typhus fever."
Very common are Uie phrases "had
have ' and "had ought." You hear peo-
ple Mho think they know English say.
"Had I have known .H" and "I had
ought to have gone. ' This la unpar-
donable. Clearly the correct thing to
ray Is. "Had I known It" and "I ought
to have gone"
Even good writers say "I should like
to have gone." This Is quite ungram-
xnatical. The correct expression is "I
should have liked to go."
."ollwever" is another misused word.
'However can you be so silly?" is ut-
terly Incorrect. "How can you bo so
Billy?" is the correct English. But one
b. '
"1 don't know but what you aro" Is
a very common and totally incorrect
expression and the right way to ex-
tress the idea Is "1 don't know but
that you are."
"Decimate" is a simple word enough
but scarcely any one who uses it knows
Its meaning. In hundreds of tele-
grams throughout the South African
war wc are told of tbe British or Boei
forces being decimated when the cor
res pontic i : t meant to tell us of great
laughter. But to decimate means to
take away every tenth man no more
no less.
tYbat is the meaning of the word
"Journal?" It is the French word tor
' daliy" taken from the ltlu diurn-
al meaning "daily." Yet we hava
daily weekly monthly and quarterly
Journals.
Both "limited" and "lengtnened " ate
misused by writers who ougnt to kno'v
better. A "limited income' does LJt
mean a small income. Even the in-
come ot millionaires is limited to som
l'fure however large. Aud a "length-
ened discourse" Is not a long discourse.
A man might intend to ma tie a speech
o' 60 words and if he then increased
the number to 60 he would deliver a
lengthened speech but nut a long or
As to pronouncladon there Is one
word which the smallest knowledge oi
the language should enable us t
sound correctly. That is "margarine.
Of course the "g" should fcs hard; U it
the usual pronunciation of it la soft.
A vast deal of tripping is done Lj'
ueonle who r.re uncertain of the correit
way of using the phrase "Between you
and me. a common epiooii
which of course is qtilte wrong 1
"Between you and I."

THE OUTPUT OF WHISKY
How Seductive Fluid Is Manufactured
In North Carolina.
"So this Is the only liquor distil'

markeri the visitor to a little moun-
tain settlement in North Carolina la
a tone that was half questioning.

"How much do you turn out in a
fay?" asked the stranger.
"Wall I reckon we makes along
about twenty gallons a day."
"And Is that all the whisky that'a
drunk in th se parts?'
"Say you be-ent no revenue sharp
' you?" he demanded suddenly.
"Cause if you be I ain't got nntbin'
-o say. I pays my taxes as ever one
i:nows an' that's all there is to it."
After a time the stranger persuad
d him that there was no ulterior mo-
ive in his questioning and tbe old
nan explained the whisky situation.
"1 tolo you this was the only sill
around here an' so it is the only one
that pays a tax. But" bo continued
'every' old woman in these mountains
lias a coper kettle in which she boila
her washing. Every old woman has
a lid that 0 the coppe- kettle tlgut-
Ey and that can be faa'.cned down.

A PATRON OF ART.
Boston Wonan Who Was Mistaken
About Value of Her Purchase.
One of Boston's "patrons of art"
stepped Into a picture stc-c on Boston
street the o bur day and after an iu-
spection of the stock called a sales-
man and asked the price of a bit of
coloring that appealed to her fancy.
"Three fifty ' was the rei jr. "You may
send It to my address" she eald and
took ber departure.
A tew daya later she waa again In
the store w a ring a lot . of extreme
dismay. Having located the clerk
from whom she had made the pur-
chase she liqulred U tome mistake
had not been made in the price. "I
thluk not." he said; "have you the bill
with you?" "Yes here It la." "I sea
do mistake In It." "You don't mean
to say that the price was $350?''
"Why certainly and we considered It
very low figure."
Taking tl picture fr-m under I'er
cloak she handed it back to the sales-
man saying "I thought the price waa
$3.50 from what you said." Boston

Martinique Ground Rents.
"Land n St. Pierre Martinique la
not vary profitable" aald tha Intel-
ligent compositor. "Ohl I don't
know" answered the sub on the next
eaae. "There are certainly fissures
enough there." "What do they sig-
nify T" he waa asked. "A Assure la

On th Right TraeK.
A self-conscious and egotistical
young clergyman waa "supplying" tha
pulpit of a country church. After tha
service he asked ona ot tha dea-
cons a grizzled plain-spoken man.
what he thought ot "this morning's
effort." "Waal." answered tha old
man slowly. "Ill tell ye; I'll tall
ye In a kind o' parable. It reminded
me of Sim Pack's fust deerhnnt whan
he waa green. He tollered the daer'a
tracks all right but he tollered 'em
all day In tha wrong direction."
Tourists Going to South Africa.
Ona of thi favorite recreations of
Sngliah people next autumn la to be
a flying visit to South Africa whea
tha tourists will Inspect soma of tha
mora notable battlefields and aeanea
of Interest connected with tha war.
Visits to South Africa for a short holl.
day had become Increasingly popu-
lar for several years before the war
and now the circumstances of tha time
point to a very great extension af
favor In this direction.
Success In Life
Ordinary success depends on the
Slightest sr-de of character some
trick not worth an egg. Men are qual-
ified for some things because they nan
do nothing else. Confidence gives tha
fool the advantage of tha wise man.
Fools rush in where angels fear to
tread. Our doubts are traltora and
make na lose the good we else might
win by fearing to attempt. Tha desire
for tha end will point out the means.
Woman Who Saw Waterloo.
According to La Vie Uinatree the
last surviving witness of the battle
ot Waterloo la Mnie. Marie Theresa
Dupuls now living a: Chapelletes-
Herlalmont. near Charlerol. Tha eld
woman recently celebrated her eaa
hundredth birthday. She Uvea with
bar two sons. Tha ages ot tha three
of them total 254 years. Mm. Cu-
pula was tha daughter ot a small
farmer named Roland.
'Gout Due to Clubs and oaaa.
A physician talking to a reporter af
a New York paper asserted receatly
that gout Is rapidly increasing In that
city as a disease prevalent ameas
tha wealthy classes the increase being
altogether out of p.oportlon ts the
growth of population. He claims that
this is largely attributable to tha la-
crease In clubs fashionable reataar-
anta and cafes and also to the general
use of cabs even when the distance
from the club to the home li only a
few blocks. If people would take mere
active exercise in the open air they
world run less risk from heavy meets.
He says that rich foods are more re-
sponsible for gout than wine although
practically the two usually go ta
ether.
