Instead of trusting to casual observers, it is far better to understand the principles that govern our prouuncia tion. There Is one principle in par ticular which, rightly considered, give a good deaf of help in the instance under consideration. In my 'Trimer of English Etymology" I give some simple rules of accentuation. Rule 1 is as follows: "When the length of a word is augmented an original long vowel is apt be shortened by the accentual stress falling upon it." Such augmentation due to the formation of a derivative. An easy example is seen in the case cone, pronounced with a long for if we form a derivative by adding the suffix "ic" the result is conic, with short There is a general principle that affects the whole language and sets up standard By way of illustration, compare bile with bilious, crime with criminal, brake and bracken, dine and dinner, mine and mineral, coal and collier and perhaps at least seventy more.

A remarkable instance Is seen in collie, which is merely a new pro nunciation of coaly. Certain dogs were once called coaly dogs because of their Coal black markings. An ex tension of the same principle may be made in comparing the dissyllabic forms agent and cogent with the allied trysyuaoies agitate ana cogitate. When once such a principle has be- come general it is obvious that a word like pageant will be influenced by the very large number of dissyllables that h.ivp tli fnrmpr vnwpl short nrul this is why the truly normal pronunciation of the word resembles the in Paget do not certainly know the origin of that name, but I suppose it is merelj the diminutive of page, in which the is shortened as a matter of course simply because the diminutive "et" has bean added. The pronunciation of primer has of ten been discussed, and many are they who think that they clinch the matter by saying that the In the Latin primus is long, for that proves nothing at all as regards modern English and those who have studied our pe culiar ways with the closest attention are well aware that the normal way isv, after all, to pronounce it as if it were spelled primmer.

We do not therefore spell it' with a double be cause that Is not our system. We write tonic and conic and mimic In order to show their connection with tone and cone and mime, and we trust that the unfortunate reader, after he has thus had the etymology explained to him will provide the pronunciation for him self. Such a word as pageant may be usefully compared with magic and tropic and agitate. London Academy. SAVED BY QUICK WIT.

The Escape of Sir Archibald Douglas at Poitiers. In the battle of Poitiers (13o(j) a number of Scottish soldiers fought on the side of the French, and several of them were taken prisoners by the Eng lish. Among them was Sir Archibald Douglas, half brother of Lord Wil liam Douglas. Beinc dressed in a suit of snlendid armor, the victors thousht they had captured as indeed they had some great nobleman. Several of the English were about to strip off his armor when Sir William Ramsay of Colluthie, who was also a prisoner, happening to catch Sir Archibald's eye, gave him a meaning look.

Fretending to be very angry, he cried out: "You rascal, how. Is it that you are wearing your master's armor? Come here and off my boots!" Douglas, seeming ly thoroughly cowed, went humbly forward and drew off a boot, with which Sir William began to beat him. The English onlookers at once interfered on Douglas' behalf, saying that he was a person of great rank and a lord. "What!" shouted Ramsay, shaking with laughter. "He a lord? Why; he Is a base knave and, I suppose, has slain his master.

Go, you villain, and search the field for the body of my cousin, your, master, and when you have found it let me know, that I may give it decent burial." All this was acted so naturally that the English allowed Ramsay to ransom the pretended manservant for 40 shillings. The money having been paid, Sii William gave Douglas another thrashing and then bade him begone. Sir Archibald lost no time in effecting his escape, which he owed solely to the Ingenuity of his Human Muscles. If the muscles in the arm of the average man were put together and a nervous Impulse passed into them, their contraction would lift a weight of 224 pounds from the ground. Muscles have the unique power when stimulated by nerve impulse of contracting somewhat as rubber bands might do If they could squeeze themselves up shorter.

In the mountain districts of India the principal vehicles of passenger conveyance are the rickshaw and the dand3 with which Ilmlyard Kipling has made us familiar. Th( rickshaw is pushed and pulled through the streets and on the roads leading out into the country by four coolies, and the dandy is carried ou the shoulders of four and sometimes six coolies. Saddle ponies are also used to some extent, but most of the inhabitants and quite all visitors use the rickshaw and dandy. The latter is constructed on the plan of a sleigh box, but longer. A-pole is attached fore and aft, which is long enough, to give a springy motion when the coolies are walking and trotting.

As he entered the front door he observed a well dressed man standing within, apparently admiring the beauties of construction and decoration.

In an Instant the pride of the owner swelled within him. Here was where he would make the visitor verdant with envy and. Incidentally, intercept a few bouquets for himself. Stepping up to the stranger, he remarked: "It's a house, Isn't It? It's worth every cent of the investment and a great deal more." "You are right," replied the stranger. "You are, I suppose" "Yes.

I'm the owner," interrupted the "other, "and Just let me tell you that there are not many men round here who own as fine a house as this." "I quite believe you," serenely answered the visitor.

He was very sick, and his doctor told him that he had to change his mode of living and prescribed "going to bed early, eating more roast beef, drinking beef tea, a month's rest at some quiet watering place and just one cigar a day."

The ugliest storks in the world are found in southern Asia and central Africa. Their flesh colored heads are partially covered with stiff, wiry feathers, and hanging on the breast they bear a disgusting pouch, which answers the purpose of a crop.

One of largest of these storks is the marabou. It stalks about the great sandy plains of central Africa with composure and a lordly grandeur, as if it were the most beautiful bird in the world. Its body feathers are of a dull metallic green color, and its wings and are dingy black. Looking at the awkward creature, no one would suspect that under its ungainly wings it carried the most exquisite and fairylike little plumes, so airy that it takes basketfuls of them to weigh an ounce. They are pure white and so much de sired for trimming that the bird is vig orously hunted by the natives, who sell these dainty feathers to traders for a very large price.

The marabou feeds on carrion, like the vulture. Its throat is very large, and it will greedily eat everything that comes in its way. In the swamps and plains around Khartum, on the Nile, are immense flocks of marabous, and they are so daring as to come to the slaughter houses on the outskirts of the city in search of food, and whole ears and shin bones with hoof attached have been found In the crops specimens which have been killed. These birds are skillful fishers. They haunt the low marshy islands in the rivers and lakes of central Africa, with elephants, monkeys, flamingoes and many varieties of birds for companions, and gain their principal food from the water.

They often go in companies of ten or twehe to fish. Wading the water, the birds form a circle, which they gradually draw together, gathering the frightened fish in the center of the net, when with their long bills and quick movements they speed ily provide themselves with a hearty meal. Although marabou mammas have been seen proudly parading around with a brood of diminutive downy young ones, so shy. and retiring is this bird in its domestic habits that naturalists have been unable to determine when and how it builds its nest. The natives assert that it nests in high trees, but their statement is not confirmed.

In captivity the marabou is lord of the inclosure, and in zoological gardens, where specimens have been confined, no other birds or even small beasts dare approach the feeding trough un til the hunger of this Impudent bird is satisfied and it has retired to the warm est corner for a nap. The immense strength of its bill makes it a formida ble enemy, and when fighting for food it will often overcome the largest vultures and wage successful battles with beasts of prey. The hyena inhabits the same por tions of Asia and Africa as the mara bou, and travelers give accounts of terrible contests between these two singular members of the animal kingdom. The hyena is called the vulture among beasts, as it prefers carrion for its food, and as long as it can find dead animals to devour it. leaves the flocks and herds in peace.

Cowardly by nature, it rarely axtacks man or beast unless driven ty desperation by hunger. The striped hyena inhabits the north ern latitudes of Africa, Persia and Syria, while the spotted species, which is easily tamed and is sometimes called hyona dog, is found in large numbers in the vast plains of South Africa. The hyena is a strange looking beast. It has a big head and a heavy, shaggy mane. The hind part of its body is much lower than its shoulders, and its hind legs are short.

This odd formation gives it an awkward, shambling manner of walking, which Is both ludicrous and hideous. This creature rarely shows itself by day, but when the shadows of night fall on th plains and forests it comes out from "its home among the rocks and caverns in search of food. African travelers are much annoyed by it. When the camp is silent and all are sleeping the? hyena comes prowling round, uttering hoarse human cries, and should it fail to find sufficient refuse to satisfy its hunger some poor donkey is sure to be torn in pieces by its terribly strong jaws. Few animals have been the subject of so much superstition.

In ancient times it was believed that a dog went mad if a hyena turned its evil eye up on it, and the beast was believed by many to be a wicked sorcerer, who went about in human form by day and at night assumed the shape of a hyena. The poor and ignorant peas antry of Arabia even at the present day believe in the evil eye of thi3 beast and are afraid to shoot it lest taev should incur the wrath of the wicked spirit which they imagine walks the errrth in this ugly form. The poor hyena, however, far from being tin evil -pirit.

The battle of Bunker Hill gave the occasion for many deeds of valor, and since that day we hold a list of names illuminated in our memory. One of these names belongs to the Knight of Derryfield.

Do you remember who he was, and can you recall the song of his bravery? Read of it once more and have impressed again on your heart the implicit obedience and perfect courage of the Xew Hampshire farmers and their captain, John Moor. When the forty-five men of the little town of Derryfield. X. left their homes to fight for the great cause each knew that no men Avere ever led by a braver man than their beloved Captain Moor. His courage had inspired many of them in the French and Indian war.

So, eagerly, when the alarm came in 1793 they marched with him and his drummer boy son to Cambridge, where he was entered a captain in Stark's regiment. And now comes the battle of Bunker Hill. Behind a fence, piled thick with grass, Captain Moor's company lay as still as death. An order had come from Colonel Stark that not a shot was to be fired until the British passed a stake that was driven a short distance away. With perfect confidence in themselves and their captain, the farmers waited waited motionless while that beautiful, death dealing pageant of British warriors swept grandly toward them.

Witn the coolness and wonderful pre cision of a dress parade the old world came to meet the new, the grenadiers and light infantry marching in single file twelve feet apart, the artillery advancing more slowly and thundering out an insolent defiance to the conceited little rebels, while on each side five battalions formed an oblique line to the fence breastworks. The very flower of the English army, full blossomed in learned maneuvers, resplendent in shining arms and waving ban ners, advanced to meet a little group of men untrained in tactics of warfare. only half armed, clad In homespun, hiding behind a breastwork of grass. The dead line was crossed. Bang! Bang! Bang! The little rebels were awake at last.

Xow, not the stake. but a line of fallen bodies marked the dead line. Thunder and lightning belched forth from that breastwork. A fire, Intense, steady, killing, and the brave march of the Britishers was checked. A slight recoil, and the officers, dashing up, again urged the line forward.

Xot for one moment did the grass fence cease Its voice of fire and shot. One by one the brave grenadiers and dashing, gallant officers fell to the earth. The ranks broke and the proud host fled bef ora -the meager handful of Xew Hampshire men. Ah, If we could only have had grass breastworks and Captain John Moor all along the American line! C. F.
