BUT ALL GOOD.

No ‘Few European Sovereigns Have Bera Fond of and Given to Repartee—— Clever and Brutai Tests Passed Among KE: clishmen of Long Ago,

G. erally speaking, the strong have refx:.4l to pnt up with jesting from the weak. The Czar Nicholas, who had soy » fine qualities, was hardened ag?” ta meditated act of clemency by the @ndauuted spirit of a prisoner. Reh: €, a man of letters, had been im- plicated in the conspiracy of 1825 and sent© jeed to be hanged. He was launch- ed &: b the fatal ladder, when the rope brokeand he was thrown to the ground, sevy fy bruised, but conscious. He picks himself up and said quietly, *The¥ can do nothing in Russia, not evet. vine a cord properly.” It was custejmary in Russia to pardon the con- demred after a similar fiasco, but on Rel, ¥s words being reported to the ezar ind his pleasure demanded he re- joined, ‘Prove him the contrary.”

Hefiry VIIL, with all his violence and tyraffiy, could bear with a retort as well as give one, for he loved a wit. Wher it was told him that the pope had sent the cardinal’s hat to Fisher, Bishop of Réghester, he said, ‘‘He may have the hat, but he shall have no head to wear it with,” and the bishop was brought to the block. On one occasion pe Aya Earl of Kildare was brought before the king, charged with setting fire tothe Cathedral of Cashel. “T oWn it,” said the earl, ‘‘but 1 never would have done it had I not believed the archbishop was in it.” Henry laughed and pardoned the culprit. His bittefest enemy was the Bishop of Meath, who accused him to Henry of divers misdeeds, and closed his arraign- mentwith ‘‘Thus, my liege, you see that all Ireland cannot govern the earl.”

“Then,” said the perverse monarch, “the earl shall rule all Ireland,” and in- stantly made him lord deputy because his good humor equaled his valor.

Elizabeth resembled her father in her willingness to put up with retorts from sauc# subjects and to pay them back in kind—not always with the greatest re- finement. The little scene with the ill- fated Earl of Essex, when she boxed his ears for insolence and he laid his hand on his sword, saying that he would not take such treatment, even from her fa- ther, is familiar to every one.

Going back to still earlier dates, we constantly find the imperious Planta- genet kings giving and receiving retorts that bear witness of great independence among some of their powerful subjects. It was Edward I., who, on the refusal of the ‘Black Dog of Warwick” to join she king with vassals and supplies for war, said: ‘Sir Earl, you shall either go or hang.” The retort was: ‘Sir Rex, I will neither go nor hang.”

Henry 1V., of France, was good na t abcve most monarchs in repartee.

tule it is_ impossible to

in conventional English a the jests of this wise and witty king. On one oc- casion it was the turn of M. d’Aubigne tosleep in the king's ante-chamber. Fancying the monarch was asleep, he began to talk to M. de la Force, who shared his watch, saying, ‘‘Your master isthe most ungrateful of men.” La Force, half asleep, asked him what he was talking about, when Henry cried out: ‘‘Wake up! he is telling you I am the most ungrateful of men.”

“Pray go to sleep, sire,” interrupted d’Aubigne. ‘‘We have a great deal more to say about you.” Henry never showed less kindliness to his servant on account of what he had overheard.

But the cynical generosity of Fred- erick the Great is unique. A lackey who owed him a grudge had determined to poison him. One morning he brought in the king’s chocolate and appeared visibly troubled in countenance. ‘‘What ails you?” said Frederick, looking fixed ly at him. ‘You look as if you had put poison in my food.” The wretch fell at his feet and avowed his crime. “Get out of my sight, you scoundrel?’ said Frederick, and took no further notice of his attempt to murder him!4

A delicate compli:aent is a work of far higher art than the most biting sarcasm. Everyone knows the story of the poor creature who found himself seated be- tween Mme. Recamier and Mime. de Stael, and managed to offend them both by saying that he sat between wit and beauty, and was crushed by the retort of Mme. de Stael that he possessed neither. The court of Louis XIV. was the school where this art was brought to perfection. The flattery offered to the king was at once coarse and ex- quisite. Witness the inimitable reply of Mignard, who was painting the king's portrait for the tenth time, when Louis asked him: ‘“‘DoI look older?” ‘I see a few more campaigns on the brow of your majesty,”

One of Louis’ marshals, Bassompierre, was great atrepartee, He had spent ten years in the bastile, and, on emerging, his majesty asked him his age. ‘Fifty, sire.” To the surprised look of the king the marshal added, ‘‘I don’t count the ten years I passed in the bastile, be- cause I did not spend them in your maj- esty’s service.”

Louis found amusement in Bassom- pierre’s retorts—g curious illustration of pleasure that is sometimes derived from remarks that might reasonably be sup- posed to be far from flattering. On one occasion he was telling the court how he first entered Madrid as ambassador. ‘I was mounted,” he explained, ‘‘on the very sinallest muie in the world.”

The king remarked, “It must indeed have been an amusing sight to see the biggest assin the place mounted on so small a quadruped,”’

With a profound obeisance came the rejoinder, ‘‘I was your representative,”

VOWEL, CONSONANT, SYLLABLE.

Some Fresh Definitions of Great Value to Veachers and Others.

A. Mellville Beil, of Washington. ia his note on ‘‘Sylabic Consonants,” said

*What isa vowel? What is a conso- nant? What is a syllable?

‘A vowel is defined as a non-frictional emission of voice, or of unvocalized breath, through an oral channel with momentarily fixedconfiguration. Vow- els, therefore, run smoothly into one an- other by merely altering the shape of the oral passage without interrupting it,

“A consonant is defined as an inter- ception of the breath, or voice, by oral stoppage, or by emission through nar- row chinks. The change from one con sonant to another thus involves a mo- tion of the articulating organs, produc- ing, with more or less audibility, a puff, # flap or a sibilation

“The two classes of elements meet in ee, y, 00, Ww. A syllable is any vocal element uttered with a single impulse of voice. All the vocal elements in a syllable must be clustered together, with- out admixture with non-vocals, but any number of non-vocals may precede or follow the vocal cluster without affect- ing the syllabic unity.

“The consonants 1, m, n, when they are final, after consonants, frequently form syllables without vowels; as in vottle.

“The test of good pronunciation is to give each syllable its own distinct sound, so that in the most rapid utter- ance the ear can trace the boundaries of every syllable. But the syllabic sounds must be true to customary pronuncia- tion.

“The name consonant, if held to im- ply an element that cannot be pro nounced without a sonant, or vowel, would be s misnomer, and its use should, in that case, be discontinued in scientific terminology. Vowels are the soft and plastic substance of speech; consonants are the articulations or joints on which vowels and syllables turn. Their proper name is, therefore, ‘articulations,’ not consonants.

“Phonetic elements make syllables. Syllables make words; words are to be considered es the syllables of clauses. Clauses must be carefully individual- ized; for they are the syllables of sent- ences. Divide your sentences into their logical units, or clauses; and indicate within the clauses all their phonetic units or syllables, and you will fill the grand fundamental precepts of de- livery.

Tennyson's Flowers.

Tennyson speaks of ‘‘a skin as clean and white as privet when it flowers,” and truly the privet with its prim leaves and small white flowers looks a very Puritan for neatness and simplic- ity. References to the flowers of our gardens of course abound, and many will occur at once to the Tennyson reader. The rose and the lily play more than a commonplace part in ‘Maud,’ where, indeed, aii the flowers are inter- ested spectators of the drama. Pass- ages such as

“ A walk of roses ran from door to door, A walk of lilies crost it to the bower,’

from the Idylls might have been writ- ten by many others; and bell flowers, though we may be grateful to Tennyson for preserving the old-fashioned name “Canterbury belis,” are easily paralleled from many poets. Perhaps the beauti ful line, ‘“‘Love like an Alpine harebell hang with tears,” deserves an especial mention: he bas written a poem to the snowdrop, which is styled ‘February fair-maid,” and it forms a fitting part of his picture of ‘‘St. Agnes Eve,” which, as W. i. Henley has pointed ont, is so dazzlingly pure in its whiteness, and a contrast to Keats’ brilliantly colored poem on the same subject.

Of the early spring, with its violets, primroses aud crocuses, our poet is never tired, and has avowed his especial love for Aprii, being an Elizabethan in this asin mavy other things, so that it is surprisi ) find comparatively so little mention of the daffodil. It is hardly to be found anywhere except in ‘“Mand,” and ‘The Sonnet to the Nine- teenth Century “Here in this roam ing moon of daffodil and crocus.” Per haps Tennyson felt that it had been so fully celebrated elsewhere as to become hackneyed, in spite of all its beauty. — Good Words.

A New Arithmetic.

The lady who came into the book store was one of the very primmest and most particular.

‘‘Have you ary arithmetics?” she in- quired stiffly.

“Yes, madam,” replied the polite clerk,

‘What kind?”

“Any kind you wish, madam. We keep a complete stock.”

“Well, | want an expurgated edition.

“I beg your pardon?” gasped the clerk.

“IT want an expurgated edition. I de- sire it for my daughter, who is just be- ginning that branch of study.”

“I don’t think I quite understand you, madam.” stammered the poor clerk.

The lady showed some slight traces of annoyance.

‘Don't you know what an expurcated edition of a book is?” she asked.

“Certainly, madam; but not of an arithmetic.”

“You must be very stupid,” she said, starting to go out, “if you don't know that it means one from which the vul gar fractions have been eliminated,”

The clerk let her go at that.

The New Stockings.

Silken hose are a luxury, woman can resist them? The varieties shown for 1895 are more tempting than ever before. Black stockings of web like texture have the instep embroider ered in gold threads. They are exquis ite, and are particularly effective w chen worn with a low-cut evening slipper. A new fancy is the silk stocking with the owner's monogram embroidered on the instep. Itis a trifle odd. but when theletters are worked in some delicate silk it.is pretty.

“Gentlemen—I am glad to say that Hood's Sarsaparilla and Hood's Pills have done me a great deal of good. I had a severe attack of the grip in the winter, and after getting over the fever I did not seem to gather strength, and had

no ambition. Hood’s Sarsapa rilla proved to be just what I needed. The results were ver;

satisfactory, and I recommend this medicine to all who are afflicted with rheumetism or other

Hood’s*"Cures

afflictions caused by poison and poor blood. I always keep Hood’s Sarsaparilla in my house and use it when I need a tonic. We also keep Hood's Pilis on hand and think highly of them.” J. W. Dy KE MAN, St. George, New W Brunswick.

Hood's 3 Pilis are purely vegetable, and do ot purge, pain or gripe. Sold by all druggists,
