PERSONAL AND SOCIETY A PROMIM'ShT WOMAN'S METHOD OF STO I*l*l >G GIM.(HEWI\G HABIT. Also, Why “No. 1* ( aih” llpoponila No More—A Summer Widower's Keren t I’incuke Dinner. * A prominent woman of this city who prides* herself on a great many accomplishments and virtues and who goes about working in the- fashionable charities of the city, considerably overdid the matter ft few weeks ago. She is fastidious about the c ndurt of her house and would lik to see Washington street scrubbed on hands and knees every day, and have fill the shop girls wear crisp white dresses with blue ribbons in their hair. She went into one of the leading stores and found a little $1.50 a week cash girl chewing gum. Now "gum” is one of the good lady's abhorrences. What did she do? It is very easy to say what she did not do. Sim did not take the little girl to her arms and talk to her gently about how unladylike and inelegant it is to chew gum. It never occurred to her to do anything like that, but she went to the business manager’s office and told him that "No. 9 cash” was chtewing gum. It is against the rules of the store for either clerks or cash girls to chew gum and so the business manager, who llkhs to receive big cheeks for satins and silks from this good lady, discharged the $1.50 a week cash girl, and the good lady with her several thousand dollars a year income felt that she had done a grand and noble thing. She still buys, but the little girl does not respond to "cash" any morn. A Pancake Dinner. Ono of the summer widowers was complaining of his lonely state to a party of friends whom he met at the German House one evening. He said he had a notion to Invite some of his friends up to dinner with him, whereupon one of the party said he did not think any others of the party had engagements and they could come almost any evening. The summer widower raid that he would like to have th in "some evening," but this was entirely too Indefinite and the members of the party wanted a date at once. Finally the s. w. raid they might come the following evening, and the engagement was made on the spot. It is not at all probable that the s. w*. was trobuled about his dinner to-be, as he had two good cooks in the house, but what he should give the guests was another matter. He remarked that he would like to have the same dinner he had had the night before, every day for a week. Os course all of them wanted to know what it was that was so very good and he replied "pancakes and broiled ham." The friends thought that would suit them and after an hour or more the party separated. The following evening, just before 6 o’clock, the guests were on hand promptly, not a laggard hi the lot. The dinner was served and the two cooks were kept busy supplying the table with pancakes. The appointments were handsome and to give all due credit to the host there was not only delicious broiled ham and pancakes, but several other delectable tilings. Asa souvenir of the pancake dinner each guest found before the plate a miniature griddle with a rich brown cake fastened to it with a ribbon. After the feast there was a social hour on the broad veranda.

A Unique Scrap Kook. Not a few of the hundreds who travel to Europe determine to keep a diary, but, like New Year’s resolutions, few diaries are kept. One of the exceptions to the general rule Is Mr. Charles E. Coffin, of this city, and his collection of written remarks about the sights he saw has been put into excellent and Interesting shape. The whole has been copied in typewriting, and the text Is frequently accompanied with the photograph of the building or place described. Some of the pictures require a full page and on the other pages there are three or four The passport, which he found a necessary and convenient companion, occupies a conspicuous page, with its United States seal and signatures. Several valuable letters of introduction are incorporated, and a guy spot on one page has the trip slips of three colors, which Mark Twain made famous with a fascinating Jingle, and Mr. Coffin has written the lines as partners for the slips. Historical information in brief and poetical quotations are added to many of the pictures, and the whole contains personal incidents and features which make the book a full and complete review* of the stay of three months. In lighter vein are tho theater programmes, bills of fare, newspaper mention of the party and some good stories heard en route. The'typographical work and the "pasting" are done with accuracy and a rare memento of the journey is the result. White Clothes for Health. A New York physician said recently to a patient of his, a lady of wealth, that he would refuse to treat her further if she did not give up wearing black. \ It was not, however, until a discussion enautd that he found out how much ho was asking; not only were her gowns black, but her underwear throughout was of the same color. Tho doctor then remarked that he had considered the alternative lie offered her, to abandon black gowns or find another physician. an extreme measure, and only justified because of her peculiarly nervous and neurotic state; but when it came to distovering that she had nothing but black clothes upon her person he would refuse to treat anybody to dressed. The "peculiarly nervous and neurotic state" ho considered largely explained by this dress alone. 7 He sue :eeded in effecting a change in this patient s attire throughout, insisting on white, all white underclothes, and as much use >f white in the outer garments as was practicable. There are hundreds of women similarly ill and dressed as she once was. who l,avo no idea that anything but a question of taste is involved in the color of their garments. They would not expect a plant covered up from the sun by repeated layers of black cloth to flourish, but they do not know that light and sunshine aro necessary to their bodies. They think if they see it. if their eyes are blessed thereby, and thus their minds cheered, that light has performed its good work upon them. The whole body needs light, and sunshine is well recognized as having the most valuable healing properties; upon the nervous system it acts with especial force, and sleeplessness, nervous headaches and irritability cun often all be cured by sun baths alone.

It In Little l'*ed, tin* laitignnge of Culture Being Danish. P. H. Dodge, In the Critic. So much confusion prevails among English and American readers and writers with regard to the literary language at present used in Norway that it word of explanation and protest may not be umis*. Bv m >st foteignei-s and in priu itcallv all Norwegians this language is called Norwegian or Norse, by some, especially by lauie-s, this is changed into ltano-Norwegian Before explaining the correct form to be use,!, let us first try to discover the misconceptions lurking behind these i opular designations.

consequence of her political subordination, the language of the country, the Norwegian branch of the Scandinavian group, came more and more to be regarded as an inferior dialect, the language of the state and of polite intercourse being Danish. This national Norwegian tongue, which is most closely related to the Icelandic, continued to be spoken by the peasants and by some few of the gentry, just as Gaelic survives in Scotland and At elsii in Wales. But when Holberg i;i the early part of the last century went to Denmark from Bergen, he spoke and wrote Danish, as did Weasel and Steffens in the middle and at the close of the century, respectively. It is interesting to note that Heiberg took special pains to rid himself of the Norwegtanisms he had brought with him. The only literary form in which the national language of Norway then appeared was the popular songs and tales since so carefully collected bv Asbjornsen and others. The language of culture was acknowledged by Danes and Norwegians alike to be Danish. About the middle of this century, as a result of the reawakening of the national consciousness, the Norwegian grammarian, Ivar Ausen. and others constructed from tlrnse dialects the socalled Norsk Landsman], to take the place of the hated Danish, and a number of periodicals a r.d books have since been published in this curious hr.dgepodce. Now. if the literary language of Norway is Norwegian or Norse, or even DanoN< rwegian, why should any one wish to do away with it on patriotic grounds? Again. Bjornstjerne Hiornsen. who if any one deserves the title of "a Norse Norwegian from Norway," gives two versions of one of his short stories, one in I anlsh the other in Norwegian, and yet the Danish version is in precisely ti e same language in which the rest of his works of that period are written. In his later novel. "In God’s Way," he has. to be sure, succeeded in pn during sometiling that is neither Danish n< r Norwegian, which might perhaps be called Norwego-Danlsh, hut it is a grafting of the Norwegian on the Danish, not the ot'!>osite. That is it is a debased or provincial Danish, not a modified Norwegian. This attempt to revive strictly Norwegian words forms and even syntax, whkh is so strikirg a characteristic of the living Norwegian writers, is. combined with the excessive Norseress of the Norwegian character, chiefly responsible for the confusion of terms which has beep, pointed out. Stevenson and Barrie write the san e English as Besant and Hardy, and. in spite o' English criticism, James and Howells really differ but slightly lit their forms front these four, lienee, no one thinks of distinguishing between them on any national basis so far as their language is concerned. But with Bjotnson and lleten the case is quite different, and their provincialism ha-, as we have seen, led to a linguistic distinction that exists only in the Norwegian imagination. Ibsen, being i*etter balanced than Bjornson, is most conservative in his Norwegian graftings. Biorilson is. indeed, difficult reading for the average Dane. Einalb. as to the differences liv the spoken language. These have be*n ndEnlrnb.v Hit off bv Professor St ohm. of Christiania, who has ?aid somewhere that his countrvmen spe,.k Ikinish with a Kwetli*h oernt and with K'orwrfian words and forir\s<. Thr NarweKO-Danish is more s'ng-song than the Danish proi*>r, and it entirely lacks the stop-tone, which gives the Dane the effect of speaking w hile riding over a cor lu*-ov road.

ini; "from the American,” and yet that, absurd as it sounds to us, is hardly a whit more absurd than the announcement, so frequently met with in our publishers' lists, of translations "from the Norwegian.” Ibsc n and Bjornson are Norwegians just as •Tames and Howells are Americans, but their language is Lianish, just as the language of James and Howells is English. Ibsen does not write Norwegian. NEWSPAPERS IX TIHKEV. The Pre* Censors Often Moke Queer Work of Them. New York Sun. Press censorship in Turkey is one of the most peculiar and erratic Institutions in the Sultan's peculiar and erratic government. Correspondents on the Turkish side in the recent war had ample experience with its various eccentricities. They never knew which of their dispatches or what portion of them would reach their destination. Permanent correspondents of foreign newspapers In Constantinople are always under the same disability. The Sun's eorres|K>nd*mt there, and others as well, send most of their dispatches by rail to Phillipopolis, just outside tne Multan's dominions, and they are put uj>on the wires at that point, the delay of twelve hours thus suffered being more than conqiensated for by tne escape from the censor's indiscriminate pencil, i’hnt.v of queer stories might be told about this oliicial’B peculiarities. These are taken from a recent budget: "An Arab paper published a short story of Queen Victoria, alluding to her as 'the Queen of (treat Britain and Ireland and Empress of India.’ The words Empress of India were struck out by the center, wh remarked that the government of the shadow of Aiiah on Earth' cannot acknowledge a Christian woman, or permit the paptis to allude to her as Empress over a Country in width there are so many millions of Mohammedans. "in one of the Syrian pajers an article twice ai peared atx.ut 'Western Superstitions,' in w hich the w liter stated that Friday was regarded by some Western people as an ill-omened day. S, n.chow tins escaped the eagle ot the censor in the proof, but the paper was immediately suppressed for several months for Its irreverent reference to Friday, that day being tin* Mohammedan holy day. A paragraph was published in an Arabic journal, r feirlng to Mme. Adelina Patti. wherein it was stated that she derived by her singing a yearly income of several thousand pounds. The blue pencil was hastily dashed nc ros* the lines, the reason adduced being that such news would ‘disturb the souls of the moral and loyal female subjects of "The Finest Pearl of tiie Ace.” ’ ' The <■ naorship Interferes in the most ludicrous wav with school ta< ss. erasing whole pages slniplv because they ere considered revolutionary •r contrary to the teaching of the Koran. In the history of Turkey, for Instance, no mention of the siege of Constantinople by the Cru.eadera Is permitted to appear, nor, indeed, is reference to a defeat of the Turks, in any part of the world, to be found in Turkish school books.

Boston Corbett ns Lecturer Was Not a Great Success. Kansas City Journal. It will be remembered that Boston Corbett, the man who killed J. Wiikes Booth, live I 1 r ninny years in Cloud county, Kansas. About 'cit vears: ago he was elected doorkeeper of the Kansas House of ItepCTEentatßc amt while holding Thai position went tiazi and was sent to the asylum. Later he was released from custody and went off to Texas, where it is presumed lie died. The discussion now going on in the periodicals over the death and burial of Booth recalls to the editor of the Concordia Empire that, something like a dozen years ago, the ladles of the Presbyterian Church in that town seized upon the idea of having Corbett give a lecture upon the kiillnii of Booth, and a committee was appointed to wait upon him. One of the committeemen was the editor of the Empire, and he thus describe* whut followed: "We found him at home In his dut out, a kind of hole in the tide of a *t-ep ldil with a brownstone fr< nt and a roof of brush, clay and clapboard*. There was but one room and the furniture was an old stove, a table, a chair, a homemade l,eel. a trunk, a box or two. a well-worn Bible and a variety of firearms. Mr. Corbett had received a tension of several hundred dollars a short time before and invested what he had not g'ven av.av to others that he thought might be needing money in a 11ook of sheep. A herd of ar.telopes would have served hirn just as well he had no practical knowledge of the use of sl.tep. He was very hospitable, told us much of 1 is history and readily consented to deliver a lecture on thi capture of Booth and his experiences in Ander.-onville. "A packed h use greeted him on tiie night set. By wav of Introduction the choir sung a song. Home sentiment of the sous set him off on a regular sermon (ho was in the habit of preaching occasionally) and for nearly an hour he .alked, but fatl.-d to either capture Booth or get to Antlersonvllle. At last the pastor reminded nim that he was to talk of Andersonville and Booth. He tuioitglzed for his forgetfulness, and lu about a

He went directly to it. Then he talked for half an hour about the prayer meeting, which, as far as his description went, might have been held In Cloud county or the backwoods of Arkansas. “Being reminded again that he was forgetting all about the capture of Booth, he apologized, and said in substance: We surrounded the barn i:i which we found he had taken refuge. We demanded ttiat he surrender, I ait he refused. W then set Are to the barn. By the light he saw cue of our men and raised his revolver to shoot him. 1 was peeping through a crack, saw him laise him arm, and to keep him from killing one ol' our men J fired and killed him. The bullet went into his head in nearly the same course as his bullet had entered Lincoln's head.

Boston *orbett.” How Ilavin Lost Ilfs Eye. Washington Post. Tin-re never were two men, not kinsmen, who looked so much alike as General Butler and Senator Davis, of Minnesota, and the story of how Senator Davis lost the sight of one eye. a.s a Minnesota man tells it, is a tale of heroism quite as Impressive as anything- General Butler ever did. It was several years ago, so the Minnesota man says, in the heat of a campaign. The contest was unusually dose* that year. Tha fate of Senator Davis's party in Minnesota hung in the balance. Senator Davis was billed to speak in one hull. The riyal candidate was to speak not far away. A largo electric light hung just in front of the speakers' stand. Senator Davis's friends no. ticed it. To remove it would leave the hail in semi-darkness. The fight was too closa to risk the losing of that one audlenoo. Senator Davis spoke for two hours witti that electric light glaring Into his eve. No one suspected the agony he was enduring. The strain was too much for the eye. He lost the sight of It utterly, but then he saved the party and won the oleotlon, so what of it? A Happy Thought.
