THE SPLIT INFINITIVE.
Q. Rurnaril Slmrr S.tyii Hip Chtinor Aboct

In n letter to tho editor of tho London
Chroiiiolo O. Bernard Him w writes:
I should havo thought, now that wo
hrtvouu academy of lot tors, that it might
rnseuo us from tho gcutlcmen.who occa
nionally write to you to ezptniu how
Knglish should bo written. Somo timo
ago you let loose nu unhappy creature
to whom como competent person hud
incautiously poiutod out n common
blunder in the urn of "nnd which."
Not understanding tho matter, ho began
nccusing overy writer in whosa works
ho could discover "nnd which M of
writing bad English. With your per
mission, I havo extinguished him, and
ho has not siuco been heard of. Thero
was somo cxciiso for that poor wretch,
because tlioro unqucstionablaia n wrong
way of using "nnd which," but for tho
"split iufinitivo" pest thero is no excusu
nt nil. Thero is nothing whatever to
mislead him except his own nature. If
any man wcro to object to a split indic
ative such its "I greatly regret," or
n split suhjuuetivo such ns "I should
greatly prefer," or n split imperative
such as "come slowly up," what news
paper would wustt) an inch of space on
his foolish ignornnco?'Aud yet thiH split
iufinitivo uousuubo is taken qnito seri
ously by editors who nro nulllcicutly
good writers to ropeutodly uso it thorn
sol ves.
Tho iufinitivo is n mood in which tho
position of tho adverb cannot possibly
produce ambiguity; consequently tho
order of tho words ia not a matter of
grummnr, but of stylo, of which thu oar
is tho only arbiter. Tho car often do
mauds tho split iuiluitivo nud will havo
it in spite of nil tho silly people who do
not know what stylo means.
When theso iufiuito insects nro dis
posed of, yon will no doubt bo nttacked
in duo courfo by tho oven moru impu
dent impostors who, though they pro
uounco tho word "color" so us to rhyme
with "dullor," nnd never hear it nnd
nover havo heard it nud never will hoar
it pronounced iu any other way, from
timo to timo pretend to bo shocked
when it iB spelt without n "u." I trust
you will nlways insist on these nui
sances definitely stating whether they
prouoimco it or "honor" or "neighbor"
or "favor" or "bchuvior" so ns to
rhymo with "onr" or "poor," us tho
cako may bo, or whether thoy aro morely
bogus etymologists century beluted
Johnsons.
In either case you will bo justified in
recommending them to thu caroof their
relatives and suppressing their bab
blings. nip.ck oui wiiito narocts.

Away back in tho seventies, during
tho famous deadlock fight en tho civil
rights bill, tho question of tho adjourn
ment of congress was under discussion
ono Saturday afternoon. Ben Butler,
that born wit, had stepped over to Sara
Randall's desk for n privato consulta
tion. Bntler favorod a Sunday session,
whilu Randall opposed it vigorously.
"Bad as I um, 1 havo some respect
for God's day," said tho famous high
tariff champion, "aud I don't think it
right to hold n session ou tho Sabbath."
"Oh, pshaw!" responded Butler.
"Doesn't tho Biblo say that it is lawful
to pull your ox cr ass-out of tho pit ou
tho Subbath day? You havo 73 abscs on
your hido of this house that I want to
got out of this ditch tomorrow, aud I
think I nm engaged in a holy 'work. "
"Don't do it, Butler," pleaded Ran
dull. "I havo some respect for you that
1 don't want to loso. I expect somo day
to meet you iu u better world."
"But you'll bo thero, as yon nro

"Dooms to rent for light housekeep

yon buy your pastry in bags nt tho bak

nt which to ruccivo tho morning milk
man, you nro obliged to lay in wait for
that perponago t comers, then you nro
n "light housekooper" though perhaps
your burdens nro heavy.
Wo rro prouo to look upon those
humhlo housekeepers ns beings without
homo or country, becausu their foothold
upon tho terra flrma of society is so
light, but often thero is much suugucsa
within tho fow rooms nud much unl
turo, too, though it is hard to coticeivo
of it culture that is nourished on bag

If you will get up early enough somo
morning, yon may sco the husband of

his paper and pitcher, jnst returning

yon may catch a ruy from tho smilo

ABOUT CATTLE.
Once the T.atr I'urbudn tlm Itlllinc el
Cow In TIiU Country.
The first cattlo that wero brought
Into th.' American colonies were landed
nt tho James river plantation, In Vir
pinia, In the year 1007. They came
from tho West Indies and wers the de
Bceudnnts of the cattlo taken to those
Wands by Columbus on his second voy
age, In the year 1493. In 1010 several
, cows wcro landed, und ngain, in 1011,
! about 100 head more wero brought to
j tho plantation. This, therofore, wns
tho genesis of tho cattle business in
America.
In order to oncourngo the Industry
to tho fullest possible extent an order
was pasRed forbidding tho slaughter oi
any animal of tlio bovine kind under
penalty of death. Under this rcatrio
Son tho number of cattle increased to
000 In Virginia ulono before tho end
t-f the year 10H.
Tho first cattlo brought into tlio
Ii'ew England colonies arrived nt
Plymouth in 1021, nnd wero imported
irem England by Goorn tr Winslow.
Three heifers and a bull mado up tho
cargo; "in color," the old rtvord says,
"they were black, Wade and whito und
brindle." In 1020 twelve- cows wcro
sent to Capo Ann, and in 1609 thirty
more. In 1030 about 100 were itnoorted
"for the exclusive use of the colony of
Massachusetts bay." During tho bamo
year 103 were sent from Llollaud to
New York, so that by the yoar 1030
thcri wero a good many hon.l of
"homed cattle" in tho dlfroront col
onics. The render naturally thlnlcs of thos
animals ns superb specimens of tha
bovine race, but thoy were not. Mr
tory, that is, the curious and Interest
ing part of history, tells ui thnt thi,
average weight of fat cattle in tht
Liverpool markot as late us 1710 was
on'y 370 pounds. What an evolution

OLD LONDON
CHURCHES,
Tlia
Peitllcntl.il Airs With
"Which They
nro Filled.
Tho Church of St. Mary Woolnoth,
which stands out conspicuously at the
King William street coiner of Lombard
street, London, was closed ten mouthi
ago, nnd it is clear from tho statemont
of the rector that tho step was not
premature. It has been his unhappy
lot to bo of ton Rtartled in the courso ol
his services by a loud yot muiHcd
sound, evidently issuing- from the
vaults under tho church. As these
vaults aro now "hermotlcally scaled,"
the phenomenon may well havo ox
cited the imaginations of timid mem
bers of tho congregation. Mr. Ilroohe,
Aowever, rocoguized tlio noises only
too well. They wero causod by tho
falling of leaden coffins, sometimes
from the height of ten or twclvo feet,
in consequence of the mouldering
away of the coffins of oalt and elm ou
which they had been piled. It would
be well i tho evils of this relic of tho
barbarous system of intramural inter
ment had ended heiv. Unfortunitely
thi process of "hermetically sealing,"
according to Mr. Brooke's uvidenco
before, the consistory court of St.
Paul's Cathedral, has been anvthin?
but "hormeticul." Mr. Brooke de
clares that for years nearly every
oilicial had died from tho effects,
direct or indirect, of tho unondur.ible
smell.
Arthur Statham, tho counsel rep
reseating tho parish, stated Unit 1,031
adults ami 4'.'2 ch ldren had been do
posiU'd in thi horrible roceptaclo
b-tween 1700 and 1832. In the latter
year according to Mr. Stuthum. tho
vaults wore closed for buriaiB; but those
bufials in St. Mary Woolnoth, if
burials thoy can be callod, wero con
tinued for at least twolvo years after
the latter date.
