MATTER OF PRONUNCIATION
A Father Wlin ! to Knllghtrn HI
Son tin a Knill Point.
There is a certain mau who by the
sweat cf his brow in summer time
earns his bread as a government nfliciul,
with an oflice iu the big state, war and
navy building He also earns bread for
a wife and three likely children and a
servant, who manages to carry a slice of
pie aloug home with ber bread about
three evenings in the week. But that is
the rook's privilege al way.
This official has a son aged 18, who
is very Dearly as sharp a the father
think himself to be. especially in those
things that everybody ought to know
and not one person in a dozen does know.
About three times a week the father
comes to tbe office loaded with somo
new information which he seeks to im
parl to his fellow clerks by the induct
ive method that is. he iuduces them
to show how little they know; then be
springs it on them His strong poiut i
words and then pronunciation, and ho
thinks be is an authority
The other evening while ila was en
tertaining three or four of his office
friends at a small supper the eldest boy
spoke np from tho far end of tbe table.
"Say, pop," be Inquired, "how do
yon pronounce N-e-w-o-n-e?" spelling
it out slowly
"1 presume, " replied the father, with
the courage of his convictions, "that it
ts au ludiun name, and by tho rule I
would pronounce, it Ne-wo-ny. "
"but that isn't the way, " dissented
tbe boy
The father was never more surprised
iu bis life.
"1 don t quite see bow it would be
euphonious any other way, "he said,
with a mild air of ofleudod intelligence.
"What's the matter with pronouncing
it new ohe?" inquired tbe boy, with
loud, irreverent ha ha. Aud the blow
almost killed father. Washington Star.

Aluminium and Water,
Tbe fact is demonstrated that alu
minium is as excellent purifier of wa
ter iih there is. The salts of this metal
are insoluble in water, nnd consequently
it is pluiu that when these salt are
formed tbe water can be strained and
the Impurities removed therefrom. Ppr
bups the most practicablenictliodof puri
fying water by this mentis is tbe trough
method, as it is called, the trough be
ing composed of platoe of aluminium
aud xiuo or irnu, six or eight inches
apart. Unu cud of the tank affords an
eutrance for the volume of water which
passe over the top of ono plate and
thence under the plate uext to it, this
being accomplished by tbe fact that thn
elevation of tho several plates is differ
ent. In connection with this tank or
trough there is an electrical generator
of moderate size, nnd, though alumini
um will not form the negative pole of
a current, thu other plate used will.
Now, as it is always tbe case that wbeu
an electric current come in coutuct
with water in this manner it decom
poses a certain portion of the fluid, na
it were, tbo result of nich decomposi
tion is that ozone' is formed aud oxygen

Wolf Children.
The adoption of human infants by
wild and carnivorous quadrupeds ha
obtained moro or less credence among
the vulgur from (lie. earliest ages, and
whilo such today oro for tbe most part
poobpoohed idle tales the skeptic
bave little idea of the evidence that has
been offered in substantiation thereof.
Half a century ago the iconoclast
who would bave dared question that
Romulus aud Remus owed their nurtur
ing to she wolf would bave been
laughed to scorn by most lover of tbe
classics. Twenty-five year later tbe ani
mal was substituted, ou the part of tu
tors, by a woman named Lupa a most
inglorious conclusion, derived solely
from imagination. Today the tendency
to ignore all seutimout causes such ideas
to receive scaut courtesy, aud when sen
timent i introduced as evidence ia met
by the undeniable statement that tbe
same miracle ia accredited with preserv
ing tbe live of mauy gods aud heroes
of antiquity. Consequently if a single
case of a child being fostered und reared
by animals can be substantiated beyond
question tbo result will be to rehabili
tate as history much literature thut sole

in fact, filling up tbe regiment aud

Tho Ilollilog a Good Dog,
No member of tbe cnuino family ha
been more persistently maligned thti"
tho bulldog. Writers who havo no iu
tiniatu knowledge of the dog and his at
tribute havo described him as stupidly
ferocious, and illustrators huve pioturH
him as a sort of semiwild beast, till t i
general publio has come to look upon
him us dangerous.
"Give a dog a bud name," ia an old
saw, and perhaps a true one, but whec
it is applied to tbo bulldog it is mani
festly unjust. Writers, too, have fulle
into grave error in claiming that the
bulldog i deficient not only in affec
tion, nut in intelligence, t
Stouohenge, who is considered one of
the greatest of canine scientists, claims
thut the bulldog's brain is relatively
larger than that of tho spaniel, which
dog is generally considered to bo the
most intelligent of the canine race,
