j& The opponents of free lumber most-
Ij tho northwestern lumber syndicates
and their ofticial and unofficial agents
insist that a repeal of the duties on this
Jfaw material would notaffvet its price.
Yet they can readily see that the repeal
of the duties on sugar has brought
down the price of that commodity. In
proof of their assertion they point to
the fact that the slight reduction of du

ley tariff has not reduced the price of labor to the manufacturer is cheaper

A GRAMMAR
LESSON.
It In
sugg.-tril hy tho Sight
of Some
(irowin AVreitt.
Last sumtner a friend of ours brought
into his house a handful of weeds
plucked from his .side yard and turned
to the different members of his family
with the question: "What is this? Can
you tell me the mine of that plant?"
It was pronounced to be a sort of grass.
"Hut what kind is it? How is it
classed?'" he asked.
"Hi. 1 don't know: it is something
very common."
"What is this plant?" he said pulling
another from this handful. "You can
tell uie something ahotil this one. for I
have seen it at almost every roadside."
"Yes so have 1: but I never minded
what it was. All those things in your
hand are worthless weeds and 1 can
not conceive why yon should care any-
thing about theni."
"I do care for this reason. 1 am de-
termined to have no more guests whom
1 can not call by mime. These 'worth-
less weeds. as you style them are all
over my premises and they shall no
longer be entire strangers to me. So I
am going to consult Cray and other
li.tanical authorities ami make these
weeds my sumijier's study."
Am so he did; ami he was amply re-
paid fT the time given to such inxesti-
gations. There are many nveds which over-
run our common conversation and
make themselves familiar in our homes
which v. e had better recognize and
classify a little. Let us look at a few
id them.
'Uie preposition "without" is some-
times substituted for "unless." With-
out may be nsei l.efoje nouns but it
should not be used to connect verbs.
We ought nl to sny: "1 can not tell
rit'.t I gr." etc.. but . I g."
etc.
"ImhmJ." Is never nn adverb; hence it
is tight to say. "my dress tits good"
but "my dress lit we!! "
"Ileal" is not to 1h forced into the
rank of adverbs all hough schoolgirls
have eviispired in make it one. Such
e pressings as "r.i! pretty." "r. I'uglv."
and "r.rf g.wwl." are not r.t'hj correct
"Had ought" is a wrong combination
heard oftener in 2ew Knglntid than in
other sections of our country riven
these who would not use tlie entire
phrase sometime- carelessly leave it to
be understood; as. for instance. "She
oiigh: to tell him frankly what she
thinks " "Yes. s. she ..."
"Ctot" is a or. ill-used servant made
to do the work of other words. "I
have - to do it." person say instead
of "I ought to do it." or "1 must do it"
"He has his lesson." they say when
they mean "learned his lesson."
In most cases wltcu "I have got" i-
used the simple "I have" would better
answer the purpose. We auvise our
young friends to weed out this word
"got" as much as possible from conver-
sation and see hoy.- much more clear-
ness and force t his roce.ss adds to their
expression.
Well" is an inelegant and useless
evpletive when used at the commence-
ment of a question orreninrk.
"Well what do you think of it?"
"Well. I hardly know what to think
of it."
This is a weed universally found in
New Kuglnud. and the sooner it. is ex-
peled the better. A Yankee may be
Unowu the world over by pa-sing
through this gate "Well" before he en-
ters on what he wishes to say. It does
not belong to the "pure well of 'En-
glish undetiled." of which we read: but
rather we should beware of
I'ri.pping bucket- into empty w II.
And growing M in drawing imtliiug up
Iu some of our southern states "in-
deed" is heard so frequently that it
loses all its force. "I do. indeed" or
"Indeed. I do." salutes the ear at every
turn until the otherwise emphatic word
becomes utterly insignificant.
In the southern states "like" is often
substituted for "as." "Like" should be
used before nouns but not before verbs.
" I.iht we do." and similar expressions
have no good sanction.
"As" is sometimes' incorrectly used
for "that" as a connective. "Do you re-
member him?" "Xo. I do not know ;.
I do."
The adjective "some" is 'occasionally
put in the place of the verb somewhat
"They criticised the hook .i'."
The verb "want" has a provincial use
which is hardly sanctioned. It is made
a constant synonyme for "wish." "I
ir.iut to see you." etc. We should try to
limit such wants as much as possible.
Many of the prevailing contractions
are very carelessly used. Don't" is a
contraction for "do not" and not for
"does not" (doesn't) hence it requires
a plural nominative. "Were not" and
"was not" should never be contracted
into "wa'n't." but into "weren't" and
"wasn't." "Ain't" for "aren't or "isn't."
and "hain't" for "haven't" or "hasn't"
are of course never found in good so-
eietj It should be said in passing
tlmt the contraction "won't" has the
sound of o in "don't"
As the beauty of a garden depends
not so much on its few rare plants scat-
tered here and there as on its neat bor-
ders and common groups and grass-
plots so conversation owes its merit
not so much to the selection of especial
words as to the correct use of connec-
tives and of those insignificant words
which are of common use N. Y. Ad-

hide his eyes iu papa's shoulder the
creature had such yellow fangs and
fierce black and yellow stripes. At the
next cage he sprang almost out of

him away from me. Don't let them
