: ACCURACY OF EXPMESSIOM

I The Necessity For a Training That WUl j Make Wrong Writing Xe Convmon, , Too often it is thought that the raan- , ner of expressing an idea is of little ' consequence, provided the intended idea is conveyed to the reader. Many ) a man will say impatiently: "Oh! I haven't got time to attend to the niceties of language. My correspondent will know what I mean, and that ia sufficient." This is a mistaken reasoning. His correspondent is likely to be as loose-jointed in thinking as he is in writing, and thence arise blunders jand misapprehensions innumerable. .Very much of legal expense might and svould be saved if an 'accurate use of j anguage were common among business rnen. At least a third of the verbiage of legal documents is" due to the Relief once common that certain set forms and phrases were essential to the legality of the instruments. If tle habit of accurate writing in every-day English words had been cultivated as assiduously as the making of Greek and Latin translations, there would have long ago been a falling off in the business of the lawyers both in and out of court. There is a close connection, moreover, between wrong writing and wrong thinking. The man who writes loosely Bees loosely, thinks loosely and speaks loosely. Words ha"ve not for him the same meaning at one time as at another, and they do not convey to others, as he uses them, the idea or impression that is in his mind. Nothing is lost, it is said, in the telling of a story; but, like a rolling snowball, it grows as it progresses. It not only grows but changes its direction, until the facts extended to prove one thjng are made to prove another and contrary thing. Complaints are numerous against newspaper writers for their carelessness in handling both facts and opinions. Doubtless there is much that is lacking in even the best edited journals of the day; but the remedy must come from the people and not from the press. Journalists are merely those who have a taste and capacity for news-getting. Nowadays it is by its new s that a paper is judged, and not by its fine literary quality. The literary talent of a good reporter may develop him into a writing- editor, but he can be a journalistic success without it. A daily newspaper sells its news, but ordinarily gives away its opinions. When,-therefore, the embryo journalist leaves his school, nigh school or college with" a perfect command of English, having the other requisites of success innate, he will deal with facts truthfully and will express his opinions accurately. Manifestly, however, it is the methods of educations and their bent that must be changed. Let Greek and Latin be provided for all who wish the higher literary training, but, first of all, let a thorough course of English be pursued. Philadelphia Mecord COULDN'T BJB EXPECTED TO. Two ladies entered a Port street car nd took seats beside a lady well known co one of them. She gave her friend an introduction, and directly this one remarked ; "I think I saw you at the Street fchurch one Sunday, several weeks ago." "Yes." , "Yoxuseemed to be as much disgusted Kvith the sermon as I was, for I saw that you were terribly uneasy." "Yes," again. "Did you ever hear a worse preacher n all yonr life?" "Well, perhaps." "I never did, and I haven't been there since." The conversation then rattled off on some other subject, and by and by the two ladies got off. "lwonder why she didn't agree with tne about that preacher?" queried the one who had blasted him. "Why, how aould you expect her to? She's that very minister's wife!" Detroit Free Press. "GOING EAST." Says the American Agriculturist: jtt was not so many years ago that people, in proceeding from the New England States to western New York, talked about going west to settle. While conversing, with a herder not long ago, on a Kiowa ranche, a few miles this side of Denver, he casually remarked that he was going away after awhile. I asked him in what direction. "I thought I would go east, to Kansas,, and .spend the winter," was the response. In a few years more, people will be talking about coming east to Bismarck, Laramie, and Pueblo, Cor a visit, so rapidly does the tide of emigration move westward. Fob blacking for leather take twelve ounces each of ivory black and, molasses; spermaceti oil, four ounces; white wine vinegar, two quarts. It is said to give a high polish, and to neither crack nor eat the leather. Moss on shingle roofs, by holding the moisture several days after a rain, hastens the decay of the shingles. It can be removed by throwing slacked lime on the roof just before of immediately tf ter a rain,
