days later , and from force of habit
asked him how ho was , the supposedly

that of the doctor. Then followed a
conversation which developed the fact
that the tongue Is not an absolute nec

Count L'eopold Do Melville , of almost

not the ordinary bigamy , but wholesale

he admitted that he had married about
fifty other women , but could not bo
exact about the count. lie has wedded
them big and little , stout and lean. lie
has married hi leafy June and chill De
cember. That Is why he Is in Jail. It
also affords a reason for keeping him
there , for there Is ai % > omilar Idea In tills
country that one wife at a time Is
imotigh for any man. Koine people find
humor in the situation. But It Isn't
funny. It Is a tragedy. It doesn't
speak well for the keenness of the
women who were duped and betrayed
that they could be so easily made vic
tims by a man who had nothing but
a smooth tongue and a fine appearance
to recommend him. Liars who make
love their bait for their deception suc
ceed too often , and the women who
married the Count didn't exercise half
as much care-in Rejecting a husband as
they would In buying an Easter bon
net. Prudence was forgotten , and thii
honeyed words ePa modern Ananias
brought sorrow to homes , the number
ot which will not be determined till the j

on trust. It Is a resolve that can work ;

Tlio Alps in Uoinmi TiiitcH.
The Bomans had no appreciation of
tlio beauty and grandeur of these moun
tains , so much admired by modern
taste , but expressed only dread of
them and abhorrence of their savage
aspect. To them they were merely a
wall shutting them out from the people
living beyond them. So great was their
dread of theuo unknown heights that
they quietly endured the audacity of
the rapacious tribes Inhabiting them
until 15 years B. C.
Yet Hannibal had crossed them In
September , 218 years B. C. This was
considered a deed of such magnitude
that Its suctH'SH was ascribed to the
assistance of the heavenly powers. The
darkness which enveloped the Alps was
llrst Illuminated by the historian , Poly-
bhiB , who vlslk'd them and described
hem fully. Afterwards , some fourteen
roads were built over them , the laying
out of which showed that they were
made after careful study of the situa
tion by engineers. The opening of the
mountains to travel was followed by a

The admirable workmanship of an

of those desert uplands have served to
keep these cities from decay , so that
they stand there to-day substantially
as they were 1,200 years ago , and the

An old couple , who had passed thch
lives In the quiet of a Derbyshire vil
lage , resolved to make a Journey to
London. The resolution was com
municated to their neighbors , who gave
them long Instr 'ctlons as to the best
methods of taking care of themselves
and avoiding city sharpers.
The villagers gathered at the station
to see the departure , and all went well
until the train reached Bedford. There
the old man , In an evil moment , al
lowed himself to leave the compart

Fortunately an express was due In a

fHE UNITED STATES ORIGINATES
THE BEST EXPRESSIONS.
\fter a I'robiillutinrjr lertti In the Vo-
c.ilmlury of the Uneducated and Care-
U'HB , the Kcnlly Kxitrcftitvo
Arc Adopted Into the
The London Society of Amateur Philologists
elegists , the members of which are devoted -
voted to the study of language , has
[ rravcly decided that If It were not for
the additions made from time to time
[ > y Americans , English would have to
bo classed as a dead or at least as a
rapidly dying language.
From this country , however , says
the Chicago Tribune , come so many
ipt and novel phrases which arc incor
porated Into the body of the English
; ongue that it is still alive and growing.
i\Jid both In the United States and
ibroad students arc beginning to reu-
jgnlzo the Importance and the value of
yords and phrases which start as
ilungi and , because they vividly de
scribe some prevailing condition , grail-
Jally ilnd their way Into the standard
llctloimrles. Both the philologists of
London and American authorities
igrec In the opinion that comparatively
little slang of the sort which endures
mil becomes part of the language orig
inates In large cities. Nor Is It used
[ Irst by educated and retlned people.
I'lio so-called "educated classes" add
little to a language except some stilted
words which are borrowed from the
classics or scientific terms which are
also likely to be derived from one of
the dead languages. It is the men on
the farm , on Western ranches , In gold
and silver mines , and In other similar
occupations , who give the language its
vitality and growth.
Thus the men who pack mules and
horses for the trail over the mountains
and plains of the great West put u
tight "cinch" on many a "critter" be
fore the general public began to talk
familiarly of "getting a cinch" on any
proposition In which It was Interested.
The lumbermen Hi the gi'eat woods of
Wisconsin and the Northwest piled up
many millions of logs In booms and
watched the logs go tearing down the
swift little rivers after the "boom wns
busted" for many years before the
stock brokers and real estate agents
adopted their phraseology. Now there
are few people Indeed who do not
know what a "boom" Is and what is
likely to happen when a . "boom Is
busted. "
Sneaking broadly , there are two
kinds of slang. One depends for its
popularity on the mere fact that the
phrase Is mouth-filling and pleases the
popular fancy. Such slang Is likely td
have only a temporary popularity. The
slang which lives and which sooner or
later becomes a permanent part of the
language Is that which really means
something , which describes some fact
or condition In a new and vivid way.
The only class of highly educated
people who contribute to any extent to
the growth of the language Is the col
lege students. College slang Is so vivid
and has been so generally adopted that
a dictionary has boon Issued which Is
entirely devoted to the subject.
It was at ; a college boarding club , for
instance , that a student who wanted
the small milk pitcher asked a com
panion to "drive the heifer this way.1'
From terms originally used In collegw
games the language has adopted many
( useful phrases. It Is not many years
since the llrst curved ball was pitched
In-a baseball game , and yet the cur
rent phrase , "I am onto his curves , "
has a moaning entirely without connec
tion with the baseball diamond. From
the licit ! sports of collegians have come
the phrases to "jump on" a man and to
"jump on him with both feet. " Even
the great American game of draw
poker , which will not be claimed an a
college game exclusively , has added
several common phrases to the lan
guage. Many a man who hiis never
tried to "fill two pair" has "called a
blnir" or declared that he would "go It
i blind. "
1 It wns a farmer's boy who had touch-
I cd his tongue to the Iron pump handle
i on a below-7.ero morning who dlscov-
1 ered that "to freeze to" a person expressed -
pressed a strong degree of attachment.
The expressions "to get a load on" and
' "to carry a load" are plainly of conn-
1 try extraction and need no explanation.
' "A jag" Is a provincialism which
" means a little load , so that to say u
ninn 1ms "n bltr lair on" Is a contradlc-
| tlon In terniH. "Jag" Is one of the
American expressions which has hard
ly reached England as yet , If one may
Judge from the expression of a recent
author , who defined a "jag" as an urn-
brella and quoted as authority a para
graph from a St. I.otils paper which
announced that "Mr. Brown was seen
on the street lost Sunday morning In
the rain , carrying a tine largu Jag. " It
'
was a Chicago humorist who declared
that a man of his acquaintance was
sometimes entirely sober , though he
did "jutnp from jag to Jag like an alco
holic chamois. "
I Almost every business and profcs-
' Blon has given the most picturesque
words In Its particular vocabulary to
[ enrich the language. From the stock
exchange , for Instance , come "bulls"
and "bears , " a "corner. " and "mar-
; gins , " though these words were orig
inally borrowed and given new meanIngs -
Ings , by the stock brokers.
From the stage has come another
whole set of words which are now In
'
general use. The words "mascot" and
"hoodoo" were Invented on the stage ,
and have since been added to the vo
cabulary of the general public. Another
common word which originated on thu
ntage and passed thence Into ncwspn *
jpor otllccs la "faka. " To- < lay almost
every one would know what Is meant

ONE OF LOWELL'S JOKES.
Got un Opinion an Hin Mnmucrlpt
that Did Nut Flutter.
James Russell Lowell once deter
mined to piny a joke upon the popular
monthly to which ho often contributed.
IIo accordingly wrote a long , clever
article which ho called "The Essence
-of American Humor , " and read It to a
few of his Intimate friends , who said
that It was one of the best of his many
compositions. IIo engaged some one
to copy It and sign It "W. Perry
I'alne , " and sent it to the Atlantic
Monthly , with the request that , us it
was a maiden effort , the editor would
give au opinion lu writing to the said
Paine.
IIo waited a fortnight , but heard
nothing of his paper , when , being In
Boston , ho dropped Into the olllce of
the Atlantic , and , meeting the editor ,
James T. Fields , adroitly tuructl the
conversation upon humor , and re
marked that it was singular so little
was written on the subject. "Oh ! we
got u great deal of manuscript on hu
mor , " replied Mr. Fields , "but It's so
poor we cannot use It. I threw Into
the waste-basket the other day a loug
article entitled 'The Essence of Humor , '
which should have been styled 'Essence
of Nonsense , ' for a more absurd farrago
rage of stuff 1 have never seen. "
Mr. Lowell , much to the surprise of
the editor , burst into a roar of laughter ,
anil Informed Mr. Fields of the au
thorship of the article. The editor
turned all colors and declared It Avas
one of Lowell's jokes. "Indeed It is , "
responded Mr. Lowell , "and the best I
ever played ! I never thought highly
of my scribbling ; but I don't believe It
was the most ridiculous stuff you had

EMPRESS TAITOU ,
Some Idiosyncrasies of Ahyaslnln's
Hatlior Hcinurlcnhlv Queen.
There Is no European queen consort
filling u more dignified station than
the Empress Taltou of Abyssinia. She
has n large household of her own , her
lord stewards , chamberlains , butlers ,
cooks and guards. . She directs all the
grand feasts , has Immense appanages
all over the empire , and resources In
kind. She leads a sedentary life be
cause there are no Interesting prome
nades , but when she shows herself in
public she is surrounded with ladles ,
mounted on richly harnessed mules ,
with runners , umbrella-bearers and
other attendants. The umbrellas are
of many colors , but Taltou's is red.
The empress Is a stickler for eti
quette , to which Mcuclek attaches no
importance. Nobody who lias not been
formally presented to her must gaze
on her even within the precincts of the
palace. She has a large kitchen ( gar
den , which is one of her many delights ,
but the moment the red umbrella ap
pears the gardeners must retire. All
the servants stand aloof with downcast
eyes as she walks by. Not taking much
exercise , Taltou Is lost In fat. Never
theless , her presence Is dignified. She
Is wonderfully well Informed , converses
cleverly , and can be charming , tier
letters arc well written , and In a
'bright ' , natural stylo. They might put
to shame those of many a well-edu
cated European lady. The dress of
the empress Is only distinguished from
that of her ladles by its Impeccable
cleanliness and neatness. London

for the latter and said : "Sam , I am
very sorry to discover that you are a
thief and have been taking my rice.1
The slave smiled and answered : "I
took your rice , musscr ; but I'm no
thief. " "How do you make that out ? '
came the query. "Well , massor , does
I belong to you , or docs I not ? " "Yes
you belong to me. " "An * don't tha
rice belong to you ? " "Certainly. " "Well

A Brother's Love.
Lostnnt , 111. , July 8. James Watt , ot
this place , by one little act , has givea
a splendid example of that never dying
love which exists between brothers , no
matter how far apart they may be.
Mr. Watt was a great sufferer from
Kidney Trouble and Nervousness. He
was very much used up , and al'hough
he had tried a great many things , h&
had found nothing that would 10 any
way relieve him. Some one su tcsted
Dodd's Kidney Pills , und he used six
boxes , and wds completely cured.
Ills first thought was for a brother
in Belfast , Ireland , whom he knew to
be aftlicted Jn the same way tliat h
had been. Mr. Watt immediately sent
a supply of Dodd's Kidney Pills to this
far away brother , together with his
recommendation based on his fortun
ate experience.
