NEW YORK'S DIALECT.
Atnnrd TtinnRh H I, It I TnniRht la
the Public Nrtinnln.
Ifnw mnny pcrfons know thnt New
York city hn n dialect nil Us own, nnil
one thnt it tiinintain in purity by teach.
Injj it in the. public rhonlK? Many per
nor. lrnve oommmitvd tn the. precision
with which ft New Yorker rim opot n
ItrnnRer the instant 1he otrnnifer tinder
tnke to prononnco the mine of the. rin
rtpnl streets in the town. Vo rnll it
Broiulway, pmplmxiziitK the lust sylla
ble very stroiiK'y. If niie:irs to be quite
ft trick to ilo this, nrM it Is evidently nu
unnatural pronunciation, fur we notice
that the very jtrent majority of stran
gers say Rroa-wn. Ho we sji'it thi tn on
the intnnt ntul nsk them from what
part of the country tin y hail, just to
chow them that there ! somctliin about
them that is not citvfi"l. unit to set
them pnzzling about whether it is in the
rimpo of their hat, nr thr? style of their
hoes, or what it is.
People from the south betray the fact
by calling our Houston street 'Ilewston
treet," lis that name is prononucecl from
Texas to the Chesapeake, but we play
M gtranpe a trick with another name,
for we call Cix-nties slip "Qnincy slip."
As no one wonld ilo that naturally, we
detect strangers by that pronunciation.
The name of Holx.ken is another that
we triflo with, calling it Ilabbucken.
But in ways anil bywords flther than
these I can pick ont a New Yorker any
where thnt he nni I may meet, whether
it be in Boston or in the Rocky moun
tains. 1 can do this by noticing how he
pronounces the "nr" sound in such
words as birth, bird, earth, heard, etc.
All the rest of tho country pronounce
those words burth. burd, urth and linnl.
Not so tho New Yorker. Ilo is care
fully taught to do so in nil the pub
lic schools, ns well as by his parents at
homo.
The queer little twist that enters po
largely intoonr Iuiixiiukc in marriiiKone
of the cardinal sounds that compose it is
thus expressed by our tongues; nr-viih
is how we say earth, hur-yid is how we
say bird. We say hur-yid for heard
nil mnr-yid-der for murder. All of us
who were born in New York have heard
the public school teachers insisting upon
this peculiar twist, commanding the
pupils to put on the trademark as fight
ing men once wore the coat of arms of
their fendal mantel's. Most of ns, too,
have heard nice, careful little girls on
the way home from school correcting
careless companions by insisting that
"yon mussint say burd; you must say it
nicely, bnr-yid."
Of all the senseless and unmusical and
bad things that are done to English that
is one of the worst, because one expects
to hear a language at its best in the
greatest city of a country, and thither
foreigners repair to study English and
then perhaps to go back home and teach
it with a whole lot of little tricks like
that in their heads, to be solemnly taught
and scattered, until no one knows where
the mischief will end. Of courso I do
not want the reader to understand that,
very nice people murder tho language
In these or any other ways, but the great
masses of New Yorkers, those who get
their learning in the public schools and
whose tongues were trained in old New
York homes of the middle class these
are the victims of this most peculiar
babit. Cor. Providence Journal.
Rtooplng Shoulder.
Apropos of round shoulders, I decided
the other day as I sat in a great public
gathering, drawn from all parts of the
land, that what we need most is not more
currency, or less taxes, or a new banking
system, but a law to enforce sitting np
straight. Take' 100 Americans men and
women, and you could not find enough
good shoulders among them to make up
table at whist. This defect of car
riage used to be thought peculiar to the .
rural districts. It is not so. City peo
ple show it less, but this is due to ths
cunning of their tailors, and not to any
virtue of their own.
1 am opposed to meddlesome legisla- '
tion, but I should welcome the appoint
ment of officials who wonld go uljout
and compel the populace to sit and stand
erect, as the old worthies of the Pnritun
meoting house compelled the congrega
tion to keep awake. If such a statute
were enacted, in two generations we
would not know ourselves or rather
onr descendants so great wonld be the
improvement in health, physiquo and
dignity. Kate i lews Washington,

Caramels and Constancy.
In oue of the large confectionery
stores on Chestnut street the girls who
have been there a long time know most
of the engaged couples in town, and can
tell how long the sweet entanglement
has been pending. They also are pretty
well posted as to what engagements are
brokeu. The reason is that one of the
things the engaged young man is sup
posed to do is to keep his fiancee sup
plied with candy. Usually when a
young man lets up on bis supply of
candy it is a sign either of a misunder
standing or that the wedding day is near
at hand, for, strange to say, with the !
approach of the nuptial date the bride- '
groom elect generally gets economical
in sweetmeats, possibly because he is
saving up ror the bridal bouquet.

Color VIlndneM Among Indians.

Dnawmdj'. Meonihlne Vert.
Ymr correspondent talked with
United States marshal today who told
of a moonshine still locnted in Walker
county that has been running for yean
and has made thousands of gallons of
moonshine liquor, and it cannot be cap
tured by officers, it makes no difference
how mnny attempt it, Tho fact is the
officers cannot get within two miles of
the still.
The still, he says, Mongs to a man
named Dunwoody and Is nltnost Imper
vious to attack. It is located in a most
monntainons region of north Ocorgia,
and ts only reached by a narrow path
lending through huge ledges of rex'k
known only to the operatives of t lie still.
The still is in nn isolated cave, which is
surrounded by inounti.ins of rocks.
The old log still is inclosed by a high
rock wall, built like a fort, with port
holes in the same. Weapons and nmmn
nition are kept within, so that one man
conld defend himself ngainst the attacks
of a dozen. To gunrd ngainst surprise
the owner has cleared the timlier away
for 100 yards around, so thnt no one can
approach without being seen by some
of the Inlvjrcrs.
This still luis been running for years,
and neither United States marshal nor
revenue collector has ever attempted to
cross these rocks to capture old Dun
woody and his men. Raids are made
every dayor so around these mountains,
and some good hauls are made, but Dun
woody, so my informant says, is never
bothered. The revenue officer, on being
asked if he ever expected to attack Dun
woody, shook his head and said nothing.

Heaver Trapping In Washington.
Trapping beaver inWallaWalla county
is generally supposed to be a thing of the
pnst. Yet on the lower Lonchet, 18 miles
above the mouth of the Walla Walla
river, the largest village of beaver dis
covered for many a year is in existence.
An old trapper saw their sign by acres
of willow brush nnd trees being cut down
by those intelligent animals to form their
dams, and in a short timo he caught over
20. one of them weighing HI) pounds, the
largest he ever knew of. The wuter in
the village is fully 40 feet deep, and the
dum is near the big slide where tho water
has washed in tho bank, forming a cave.
Trapping beuver was formerly a paying
business, but they became so source that
it was given up. Now by having been
unmolested for so ninny years they have
increased wonderfully. The site of the
discovery was where the old Hudson bay
trappers formerly caught immense quan
tities, and several old dams are yet to
be seen in the same vicinity. Walla

Money Well Spent
It has cost the state of Massachusetts
more than $10,000 to carry on the work
of the board of arbitration and concilia
tion during the past year, but even with
the partial success attained in averting
strikes and settling disputes between em
ployers and workmen this may be called
money well spent. If there were nothing
more gained thun the illustration of how
these differences cun be settled without
open warfare, it would be worth all this
and much more.
Intleed there is little doubt that many
times the cost of the arbitration has been
sa cd to industry by the prevention of
strikes and lockouts. The acceptance
of arbitration is coming slowly, but it is
surely coming, and the day is not far
distunt when it will be mode obligatory,
and willingly so. upon all those who
bold the relation of workmen and em
ployers. Boston Commonwealth.
, So More Stamping; Tlrkcta,
The Pennsylvania company is about
to discard the old method of stamping
tickets with ink, and will now punch the
the year and day clear through the ticket
by means of powerful stencils. This is
done to keep scalpers and others from
altering the date nnd thus extending
the limit of mileage books and excursion
tickets.
'When one thinks of the thousands of
speciul excursion tickets sold on July 4
and other occasions, the work devolving
upon the ageut may be imagined. A pe
culiar feature is tluit the mouth does not
appear. Everything is reckoned in the
days of the year 20th, 43d or itflst, as
the case may lie. Following the day
stamp is the final figure of the year, tt,
which will remain until next January.

Loaliiana'i Rice Crop.
A Louisiuua man says that the rice
crop of that state this year will be fully
one-hulf of the entire crop of the United
States. "The raising of rice," he says,
"has worked wonders for the interest of
our state. It has practically opened up
a new industry in the agricultural line,
and hundreds of fanners who thought
their lands valueless when the cotton
gave out now find themselves in a posi
tion that will soon place them in one
year where cotton could not put them la
five. It is really the most lucrative of
