KntroductloKS.
English people object, it appears, to
what they call m i’ 1 .■bit of ovevintroduo
Ing in society. They never, by the way,
use the word “presentation” for ‘‘intro
ductinn," cxe<>].,-. ?a the case of a prosonta
t c.ti to royal:.’, lint th.w think cur habit
of introducing people, even when they are
both guest.- untie r tho same roof, is vul
gar. Why they should think so is not ap
parent. Os tic nr a man dining out in
England is introduced to tho woman whom
ho is to take down to dinner, but tho host
ess makes uo etlort to acquaint him with
tho lady who will sit on his other side.
‘‘Why on earth should an introduction to
her bo requisite?” asked an Englishman
recently. “You interchange conversation
with her, of course, while the dinner pro
grosses. Some of my most agreeable mo
ments have bce.n spent finding out who
she is alid in letting her find out- who I
am.” Considering the well knowp tact of
Englishmen as a race and the number or
family skeletofis they could boast, it seems
as if the introduction of the American cus
tom might conduce notably to the amoni
ties of t .cial life in John Bull’s island. —

Not slum rain?, but plumbing, is the
latest and most fa-I,ion>»Vlo diversion.
The plumbing docc net consist in laying
or repairing the plries and mains, but in
in*-peeling and criticising tbc:u. There is,
of course, n guide or lca<>> r who first picks
out MJiue Lou? -s where thlnge are peculiar
ly defective end who then pilots the party
about, pointing cut how dreadfully unhy
gienic it all is. Most of the insj cting
crowd probably know no mode about Is
when they are through than when they
bejrtin, but the diversion has the air us be
ing pbilanthiopic, not to say scientific,
and it is certainly novel. There was a
“plumbing party” on hand yesterday. It
was made up of the rank and flic of tho
New York Household Economic associa
tion, nene of the important members be
ing present, eud it left tho Palace of In
dustry at 3 o’clock. A bout 30 women were
in the crowd and it was in charge of Mr.
Charles F. Wingate. As the one man and
the whole crowd of women made their
xtay along tho streets it was inter?t Ing to
observe the stares and tho comments of tho
passersby who were not yet familiar with
the plumbing party. Not until the now
diversion becomes ipore common may we
expect the general public to be callous to
it. The party tackled a house on East
Sixty-third street anu proceeded to exam
ine i s drains. Mr. Wingate was very ptir
i ticnlar to point out the importance of tho
: right sort of traps, and the women were
, soon converted to his opinion. The ques
i tions the women asked were remarkable
- and varied. They ranged all the way from
■ queries as to tho proper size for butlers’
I pantries to interrogations concerning the
j high price of putty in New Orleans. Mr
! Wingate was both patient and psdnstiik
i Ing, however, and tried h’s best to make
everything clear. There is no doubt, too,
that the new diversion contains much of
practical value to, those who enter into it

Ttie “Qoeets’s” English.
If Cobbett were aiive, he could still crit
icise tho English grammar of tho speech
prepared for tho sovereign at the opening
of parliament. 'J he queen adopts this
speech at her council on the advice of her
ministers, and it is then given to parlia
ment as “her own words.” It is impor
tant to observe that the president of the
council and the minister who last saw the
queen at Osborne in reference to the speech
read yesterday is also the head of the edu
cation department. Is there an inspector
of schools under him who would pass a
reference to expenditure which is beyond
“former precedent?”
A question in English grammar might
be set in tho schools from the following
sentence: “.A portion of the Afridi tribes
have not yet accepted tho terms offered to
them, hut elsewhere the operations have
been brought to a successful close.” The
question would be: What is the term in
opposition to “elsewhere?” In tho refer
ence to Crete wo reed: “The difficulty of
arriving at an unanimous agreement upon
some points has unduly r r a-racted their
deliberations —4. e., the deliberations of
tho powers—but I hope that these obstacles
will before long be surmounted.” What
obstacles? As “tho difficulty” is the sub
ject in this'sontcnce, “that obstacle” would
appear to be tho appropriate phrase.
Observe also “an unanimous agree
ment.” In the days when our grandfa
thers spoke of things being pecooliar or
oonique the rule that tho indefinite article
comes before the vowel sound applied, but
as in these days “unanimous” is not pro
nounced oonanimous, but you-nanimous,
tho “an” before tho word is an abomina
tion in speech and in writing but lamely
defended, like certain rhymes, as satisfy
ing to the eye although offending the ear.
As for tho literary style of the speech, it is
not likely to bo used as a model in the
secondary schools.—London News.
Patagonian Giants.
The tribes, to the east of the Cordilleras
in southern Patagonia belong to Arauca
nian stock and are a superior race. The
Tehuelches—as they call themselves—of
southern and eastern Patagonia aie the
people whose unusual stature gave rise to
the fables of early days to the effect that
the natives of this region Were giants,
averaging 9or 10 feet in height. It is a
fact that they are tho tallest human beings
in the world, the men averaging but
slightly less than 6 feet, while individuals
of 4 to 6 inches above that mark are not
uncommon. They are in reality by no
means savages, but somewhat civilized
barbarians. They are almost unacquaint
ed with the use of firearms, notwithstand
ing f .auo contact with the whites, but they
have plenty of horses and dogs. Unsurpass
ed hunters, they capture the guanaco and
the rhea, er South American ostrich, and
froin the skins of these and other animals
they n;ake clothes and coverings for their
tents. They niako beautiful capes or
mantles of fur and feathers, which are
highly prized by Europeans and find a
ready market, most of tho proceeds being
spent for bud whisky, which is brought
into the country in quantities by traders.

Tlie Mouse la tho Pisao.
“Speaking of mice,” said Mr. BifßqJiy,
“a friend of mine that owns an old fash
ioned piano ti Ils me that when it was hiv
ing played upon the other day a mouse ran
out of it and scampered around on the
top and then ran down a curtain whose
folds touch the piano at one end. The
mouse has done this twice in a single day.
“Search was imide in the. interior of the
instrument for a mouse’s nest, but none
was found. Perhaps the mouse had only
just selected this place and had not yet
begun building when it was first startled
by the sound of the strings. However that
may be, it still cotnes back,'and it comes
out and runs away only when classical
music is played, and not for two steps and
that sort of thing.
“As co the accuracy of these facts there
can, of course, be no doubt. The only
question in my own mind is as to whether
the mouse’s failure to come out when the
two steps and so on are played really indi
cates a preference for the lighter forms of
music, or that—er-r—the mouse isn’t
there.”—New York Sun.
The Fly In the Ointment.
“This,” said the bystander, “must be
tho proudest moment of your life.”
“No,” sadly answered the owner of the
Winning horse. “It was a great race and
I’ve won a fortune, but from nowon I see
that I shall be known only as owner of the
horse chat won it. ’ ’‘—lndianapolis Journal.

THE OXFORD DICTIONARY.
Frcgrcsa Made So Far on Dr. Murray’s
Great I ndt rtsikiag.
The year 1-97 w-,s a marked year for
the great English dictionary of the Phil
ological society. Tbe third volume* v» as
completed, mid Quern Victoria was pleased
to sanction the dedication to her majesty
of the Oxford English Dictionary on the
sixtieth anniversary of her accession. Th*
formal adoption of the work by the great
English universiiy was further marked by
a “dictionary dinner” in the hell of
Queen’s college, at which tha vice chan
cellor of the university entertained Dr.
Mnrray, Mr. Bradlgy and others concerned
in tho production of the “New English
Dictionary on Historical Principles,” now
fi. riy christened the Oxford English Dic
tionary.
This Is the fortieth year since the Phil
ological society began its work upon the
dictionary. It is tha twentieth save one
since Dr. Murray took it in hand. The
dictionary is novf printed as far In the
alphabet as the great German historical
dictionary was printed at the death of the
last of the Grimms, and it has treated
100,000 words. A generut ion of workers
prepared materials. The leaders of a see
on-.. are growing venerable in tbe middle
oi th :r work. hen the literary wcrfcpts
are named there are always some Ameri
cans mentioned with thanks, in tho early
period G. P. Marjffi and R. Grant White;
in the later the Rev. J. Pierson had long
since eent in 38,000 quotations, Professor
Phillips of West Chester 10,000, whileTitz
edward Hall ranks with Mr. Furnival in
tin h <s ail round help from first to last. •
The dictionary is pronounced “the
greatest effort, probably which any uni
versity, it may bo any printing press, has
taii«?n in baud-Ince the invention of print
ing, a labor beyond the scope of private
enterprise. 15 will not Ire the least of the
glories of tbe University of Oxford to have
completed this gigantic task.”
Volume 3 consists of words in D and
E, 720 pages in D, 488 in E. The whole
number of words in D is 19,051, against
3,684 in Johnson’s Dictionary, 10,705 in
the Century and 11,181 in the Standard.
The number of illustrative quotations is
85,446. More than 2,090,000 slips of them
had been prepared when Dr. Murray be
gan hr. work. He announced in volume 1
that in the next three years 1,000,000 more
wore furnished. The preface to volume 3
mentions many new names of readers, Al
bert Matthews of Boston heading tho list
with 28,000 quotations, and Halkett Lord
of Scotch Plains, N. J., following after
with 4,000. ,
Some of these words in D use up heaps
of the quotations. Do, for example, is the
most formidable word in tbe language, as
Dr. Murray says. The article upon it rep
resents “the distilled essence of 12,000 quo
tations.” They are classified and analyzed
and finally arranged under 134 subdivi
sions of sense, idiom and construction,
and fill 18 columns of the great pages of
the dictionary. There is, besides, a full
discussion of the original of the verb in'
the Indo European parent speech, and a
deduction of the forms in our sister
speeches and in the earliest Anglo-Saxon.

His Royal Driver.
A few days ago, says one of the south
German papers, a soldier was returning to
the barracks of Ludwigsburg (Wurttem
borg) from an orcv.rsion to the suburbs.
It was near the time for evening drill, and
he was in fear of being late. Suddenly a
small vehicle, driven by a man in civil
ian’s clothes, appeared.
“May I not take the vacant seat at your
side, sir?” asked the soldier. “I am late
for drill.”
“I’ll be glad of your company,” came
tho reply.
The trooper took tbe scat. A few min
utes later, looking at his vateh, he grew'
pale.
“Pardon me,” he went on, “but might
I ask you to drive faster? I have great
fear of my captain, who is a strict disci
plinarian. If lam a minute late, he will
put mo in the guardhouse.”
“To what ban-acks do yob belong?”
“The K barracks.”
“Very well. Vve shall arrive in time.”
The driver whipped up his team and in
a short time drew up before ths gate of the
barracks.
“Thank you, Gir,” said the soldier in
descending.
While the son of Mars was still bowing
his acknowledgments the officer on duty
at tbe armory had ordered the guard to
present arms. -The driver of the Vehicle
was the king of W'urttemberg.
New Title For-Iteed.
It not infrequently happens that mem
bers become confused in addressing tho
presiding officer of the house. In the heat
of debate it is sometimes “Mr. Chairman”
and sometimes “Mr. Speaker.” The vote
to go in the committee of the whole house,
tho presiding officer of which is chairman,
also tends sometimes to confuse those who
participate in the proceedings. There was
a laugh on General Walker of Virginia
fur a -lip of this kind, although he ad
dressed Mr. Reed neither as Mr. Speaker
nor as “Mr. Chairman.” Tho general is
a lawyer by profession and has been a
prominent figure in the courts of the Old
Dominion, so whon he and Representative
Miers of Indiana were having a heated ar
gument concerning their agreement on the
time for presenting a minority report on
- tho Thorps-Epes contested election case it
can be readily understood why the general
happened to break in on the Hoosier with
an impassioned wave of his hand toward
the speaker, following this with, “If your
honor please”—
Mr. Recd smiled. Tho general corrected
himself and proceeded with a statement
of his side of tho ease.—Washington Post.
Jerusalem’s Water.
The scheme to bring pure water into
Jerusalem has been abandoned. “As all
visitors know,” says The Jewish Chronicle,
"the inhabitants of that city, of every
creed and nationality and particularly the
poorer residents, suffer untold hardships
in consequence of the scarcity of drinking
water. At tbe present time they depend
principally upon the eupply collected in
cisterns from the rains which fall during
tho rainy ’ season from December to
March. Some of the water flows, in the
first place, through the streets of Jerusa
lem, before reaching the tanks, which are
above the houses. Thence it trickles down
into underground cisterns, where it stag
nates and breeds all sorts of insects and
impurities. And this is what tho major
ity of the people have to drink I Even if
filtered and boiled, it .would scarcely be
safe to imbibe such stuff. And by tho end
of June even this supply is often exhaust
ed.”
An Odd Coincidence.
Thq calendar for the present year exact
ly reproduces that of 1887. Each year com
menced on a Saturday, has a 28 day Feb
ruary and in both yeais Easter falls on
April 10.
The Djaappeai-ing Tray.
If you ever use one of those little fancy
Japanese metal trays sold about the streets
for ash receivers, don’t put it on the stove,
though that happens to be a handy place
for a circle of smokers to reach. That was
what the observant Jerseyman did the
other night at his country home.
He and his sons were sitting about a big
stove on a cold night, all smdking, and for
convenience he put the ash receiver on a
sort of shelf at the back of the stove against
the smoke pipe. When be went to bed, he
left the ash receiver there. The following
morning his wife discovered it. It was per
fect in appearance and form, and still held
tho pile of ashes, burned match ends and'
cigar butts which had been deposited in it
the night before. She was about to pick it
up, when she bethought herself that it
might be hot. Taking something, there
fore, to push it with, she attempted to slide
•it off upon a plate.
The moment she touched it tbe ash re
ceiver lost its form, became liquid and ran
off the stove upon the floor in a shining
stream of white metal. The heat of the
stove had been sufficient to melt the pew
ter of which it was composed, and it bad
probably stood there for hours, all in a
liquid form, except the little crust of oxide
and lacquer upon its outer surface. This
crust bad been coherent enough to keep
the tray in form until a touch broke it,
and then the whole had collapsed.—New
York Sun.

Why Russia Wants China.
The intimacy of Chinn and Russia has
most profound causes. The Chinese have
a veiy distinct feeling of their interests
Between Russia and Chinese interests
there is no opposition; there is similitude.
i England, the United States, Germany and
1 France have only one object>—to make of
China an immense market for the product
of their industry, to impose upon it, by
: force if nqed be, their merchandise. On
.the contrary, Russia and Japan seek to
facilitate the exportation into Europe of
Chinese products. Russia with its railroad
will bo the middleman between producing
China and consuming Europe. The Rus
sian provinces produce nothing which
j China furnishes. They have every advan
; tage in being put in contact with the in
! numerable population of the Celestial em-
I Sire-
I The immense current of exchanges
1 which will bo established between China
And Russia by the new railroad will carry
: life and prosperity into the Siberian steppe.
i In exploiting China the Russians will
| with the same stroke throw Siberia open
i to 1 mpioveinent. They will rapidly make
j it one of the greatest centers of agrioul
j tural production in the world. In the
j economic development of China, Russis
■ has nothing to lose and everything to gain.
