The Hichols-Shepard Separator The essential points in a Separator are capacity, thoroughness of separation, and simplicity and durability of construction. Ou each of these points the Nichols-Shcpard Separator has great advantage over all other threshing machines. Any one of the nine sizes will thresh more and save more grain than the corresponding size of any other separator.

If Corbett were a ive be could still criticise the English grammar of the speech prepared for the sovereign at the opening of parliament, says the London News. The queen adopts this speech at her council on the advice of her ministers and it is ther given to parliament as “her own words.” It is important to observe that the presi dent of the council and the minister who last saw the queen at Osborne in reference to the speech read recently is also the head of the education depart ment Is there an inspector of schools under him who would pass a reference to expenditure which is beyond “for mer precedent”? A question In Eng lish grammar might be set in the schools from the following sentence: "A portion of the Afrldi tribes have not yet accepted the terms offered to them, but elsewhere the operations have been brought to a successful close.” In the reference to Crete we read: “The difficulty of arriving at an unanimous agreement upon some points has unduly protracted their de liberations (1. e., the deliberations of the powers), but I hope that these ob stacles will before long be surmount ed.” What obstacles? As “the diffi culty” Is the subject in this sentence, “that obstacle” would appear to be the appropriate phrase. Observe also “an unanimous agreement.” As in these da>a "unanimous” is not pro nounced oonanimous but younanlmous, “an” before the word is an abomina tion in speech and In writing but lame ly defended, like certain rhymes, as satisfying to the eye although offend ing the ear. As for the literary style of the speech, it is not likely to be used as a model in the secondary j i schools. A CINDER WAS IN HIS EYE. Bat It Cam* Oat Altar a Shaking Up In a Car. la the very center of a crowded cable car stood a short but heavy man, with a cinder in his eye, says the New York Tribune. Although the cinder evident* iy gave him serious annoyance, he was good-natured about it and in spite of the fact that his fellbw-passengers manifested the utmost indifference to his personal affairs, he bubbled over with information about that cinder. His monologue was carried on in spas modic paragraphs and each paragraph terminated with the seutence: “I’ll get it out when I get home.” Wedged in next to the man with the cinder were two women, each with more bun dles than Bhe could gracefully manage. Some of the bundles were long ones, and with the sudden starts and stop pages of the car those long bundles poked about with much freedom among the hats and bonnets worn by the oc cupants of the seats. An aristocratic* looking woman, while clinging to a strap on the other side of the man with the cinder, dropped her eyeglasses on the floor and frantically endeavored to make an open space in the closely packed car in order that she might rescue them before they were trampled on. The gallantry c f ihe man with the cinder in his eye was awakened on the instant He, too, had be*n grasping a strap, but he let go of it and stooped to pick up the glasses. J'lst then the car, with a suddenness born of pure malevolence, stopped short. The heavy body of the stooping man was hurled violently against the two women with the bundles, knocking one into the laps of the passengers on one side of the car and dragging the other down upon his own prostrate form. Bundles flew in every direction, mingling with three or four hats which the general taix-up sent spinning into the air. The struggling women screamed and caught eagerly at anything within reach, whether it was a man’s necktie or a woman’s ostrich plumes, and in consequence there was quite an excit ing disturbance for a few seconds. The artistocratic woman’s glasses were trampled on and broken, and the crackle and crunching of the glass elicited from her Borne remarks more incisive than soothing. One of the fe male passengers into whose lap the heaviest bundle-carrier landed bump ed her head against the side of the car with so much force that she almost went into hysterics. While a compan ion was endeavoring to calm the injur ed woman the owners of the bundles raised their voices in loud lamentation over their inability to find the products of their shopping. Meanwhile the car had started with a jerk and given its occupants another vigorous shaking up. Passengers who had been tumbled upon, handled and crumpled, were be ginning to show signs of temper. There was a lack of geniality in the car for a moment. The short, heavy man had managed to scramble to his feet and get hold of a strap. Just as the atmos phere of the car was beginning to get heavy with Ugliness he beamed joy ously upon his fellow-passengers and exclaimed: "Blamed if that cinder ain’t out of my eye." Where He Got the Look. Mother—How did your face get tha strained, agonized look in your pho tograph? Did the light hurt you eyes?
