BLUE EYES
Critics Take Issue
With Speech Purists
Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson has
taken occasion to criticize our contem
porary fashions in pronunciation, says
the London Daily Telegraph.
Like most of those who are masters
of a subject, he has no liking for
pedants and purists. Sir Johnston pre
fers the familiar sound of “often”
without the “t,” and our usual “agen"
to the precision of “again.” A long
vowel sound in the “my” of “my lords"
he considers an invention of the mod
em public speaker—who is perhaps
Imitating the linked sweetness long
drawn out of the modern toastmaster
—and he calls it “perfectly intoler
able."
If we go back earlier than the Nine
teenth century we fall Into manifold
trouble. Johnston, who prided him
self on his correctitude, always said
“heerd” for “heard," as the illiterate
do still. When Boswell challenged him
he had, to be sure, a reason. If the
word were pronounced in the usual
way. he explained, there would be an
exception to the rule as to the pro
nunciation of “ear,” and he “thought it
better not to have that exception."
But we may suspect that the reason
was invented after he found himself
criticized and that he was in fact fol
lowing the common Lichfield pronunci
ation.
Creatures That Man
Is Unable to Tame
A wolf can be tamed. Even the big
savage timber wolf, If caught young,
becomes as passive as a dog. But that
queer wolf-like animal known as the
Tasmanian devil refuses to respond to
treatment. It is always wild and sav
age, and usually dies if kept in cap
tivity. It Is one of the ugliest crea
tures alive. The great cats, such as
the lion and tiger, can be tamed; so
can the South African lynx and the
South American panther.
But the black Jaguar, one of the most
dangerous of wild beasts, always re
main*. savage and treacherous, and
even when caught as a kitten refuses
to have anything to do with mankind.
The ordinary leopard can be tamed if
caught young enough, but is liable to
revert suddenly to savagery, and the
same may be said of the bobcat, the
North American lynx.
Another North American animal
which has an evil reputation is the
wolverene. It Is dreaded by the trap
per, for It will force its way into a
shanty and destroy the stores.
Beethoven’s Triumph
One of the most pathetic cases of
deafness was that of Beethoven. Why
should It have happened that he who
lived supremely in the world of sound,
the very breath of whose life was
made up of sweet chords and entranc
ing melody, should have been deprived
of the sense of hearing? Unconscious
even of the storm of applause evoked
by his playing, he was on one occasion
turned round by a singer that he might
see the waving hats and handkerchiefs
of his enthusiastic audience. Yet the
victory of mind over matter was clear
ly evidenced in the case of Beethoven,
for some of his most sublime composi
tions were created after his sense of
hearing was hopelessly destroyed and
the world heard with delight the ex
quisite harmony that only in imagina
tion could enter his own somber realm
of silence.— Exchange.
A certain Leopold Hapsburg sen
tenced to pay 100,000 crowns to
the relatives of a man whom he had
struck and killed with his motor
cycle asked the privilege of paying
it in monthly installments as he is
only a modest bank clerk. He was
former archduke of Austria.

ANDERSON, SOUTH CAROLINA
Will Hart County Ship a
Carload Canned Vegetables
This Fall?
We say she can, and have plenty for home consumption and local markets. THE VIR
GINIA SANITARY CAN SEALER offers to the Canning Club Girls a great opportunity
to display their knowledge of how to can Fruits. Vegetables, Meats, etc., and profit by
their efforts.
With half of the Nation’s population eating out of tin cans and paper sacks, and all
of the rural schools teaching the girls how to prepare and can these products, why let
all of the prolit of knowledge go to waste?
Give the Canning Club Girl something to prepare, and something to prepare it with,
and they will show the way to a better day.
We have bought 100 of the wonderful machines and 2 carloads of Tin Cans for this
season, and we hope to see them all in use this summer.
Ask the 50 users who have bought Sanitary Sealers from us. Most all of the Can
ning Club Girls have seen Miss McLanahan use her machine ia her demonstrations.
