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. — Sail Francisco Argonaut.

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 lln elm proper spirit The slumming party I vr.s iMtbing more than a gratiilcal ien of curiosity The plumbing party provides a capital object lesson in that most impor tant Held —domestic science.—New York Sun. 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. —Boston Transcript. 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 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. —lndependent. 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. MACON NEWS WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH g iBgB.

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. —Chautauquan. «=» T o i Tr. s he- s'B-.la XTV . >8 « «* Z ‘X''ex?..; Tiiype?.
