Provincialisms Heard la Ulster.
A man after being exposed to the vicis
situdes of weather becomes seriously 111
without knowing what Is the matter, and
he expresses his condition by saying that '
he has got "a regular founder." "Head
"beetlcr" is used in the same vulgar sense
as "bead cook and bottle washer" in
some localities. The beetle was a ma
chine for producing figured fabrics by the
pressure of v. roller, and "head beetlcr"
probably means the chief director of this
class of work. A "heeler" is a cock
which strikes ont well with his heels. In
Ulster the word is sometimes used for a
lold, forward woman. When a child
begins to nod and look sleepy he is told
that "Johnny Xod is coming up his
back," which is understood as ft signal
for going to bed.
"Potatoes and point" Is a curious
phrase in which the poverty of the lower
classes in Ireland finds unconscious ex
pression. The idea is thnt tho potatoes
before being eaten aro "pointed" at a her
ring, which Is hung up to serve as an
imaginary relish to the simple fare, but
too precious to bo freely consumed. "Dab
nt the stool" is another expression re
ferring to eating customs; salt is placed
upon a stool, and eadh individual, as the
potatoes are taken out of the pot, takes
one and "dabs" it at the stool to get a
portion of the salt. "Ponce" and
"poucey" mean dust and dusty, but by a
common perversion of language "pou
cey" comes to mean a person in a flax
mill who is exposed to the irritation of
dusty particles and becomes in conse
quence short winded and bronchitio.
-Roughness,"" ns in Scotalnd, means
plenty. "Ruction" dignifies a row, a dis
turbance; po.-sbtly it is a contraction ot
nictation, from the Latin verb ructare.
"Skclly," to squint, is from the Scotch,
and is found in Scott. The Danish is
"skele." "Smittle," also used in Scot
land, means infectious, and is connected
with the verb to smite. "Think long"
means to be homesick. Chambers' Jotir
nl. London Leads the World.
London, with the single exception,
possbily, of Ronic, is tho only capital in
Europe where the festivities of a court
nre to be enjoyed. Berlin was never very
gay, nud now that the emperor and em
press have become so very old the social
elements of court life have become ex
tremely primitive, as well as formal and
restricted. The haughty aristocracy of
Vienna decline to receive at their enter
tainments any foreigner below the rank
of a prince, even the attaches ot the
different legations having but a dismal
t ime of it. Since France became a repub
lic the social prestige of Paris has wholly
vanished.
Spain and Portugal are too far out of
the beaten track, and especially the lat
ter, and the stiff etiquette pervading at
both courts, renders them anything but
popular. Since King Humbert ascended
the throne of Italy he and his fair wife
have done much to make Rome a brilliant
and attractive social center. But it is
now an undoubted fact that London,
during the season, has taken the place
which was occupied under the second
empire by Paris, in the affections of so
ciety lovers on lxth sides of the Atlantic.

The Duration of Life.
How long may a human being live 4n
perfect possession of his faculties and
powers for good or evil? The question is
important to all. Conceive a statesman
with a despotic power of influencing
men's wills who should last as long as
old Parr! Think of a beauty who might
eclipse the maidens of each fresh season,
and whose hesternce rosas should outgrow
their fresh lovclhess, as long as Ninon de
l'Enclos was a toast, or Marion Delorme,
to whom Balzac assigns 130 years 1 His
tory, social or political, would be altered;
the whole progress of humanity might be
advanced for (eons or retarded by one
mun, who varied from the kindly race of
men and lived twice as long as his oldest
neighbor. If we may believe a curious old
French book, "History of Persons Who
Hare Lived for Many Ages, and Grown
Young Again" (Paris, 1710), this fancy is
not wholly absurd qf impossible. All Eur
ope expects great changes from the deaths
of Prince Bismarck, of Von Moltkc, of the
emperor. How would all Europe look if
they retained their vigor till, say, 1950?
Before the deluge such lives would have
seemed prematurely cut short at 150.

Hint to Suburban Home Owners.
There is one of the new fashions now
coming into vogue here, in the suburbs,
which is really a sham and a very objec
tionable one, though it is made to ap
pear us if it were a case of "realism."
The rontrli stone walls which the new
style of building seems to require around
the smallest of tho little Queen Annes
are the reverse of an improvement on the
former modes of protection to property,
It should always be the endeavor to keep
the spaces about houses and gardens as
unobstructed as "possible for every rea
son. They aro more easily kept clean
and cultivated; there Is a better circula
tion of air, and the appearance of open
space Is always attractive, and so far as
n desire for good effect is concerned the
- thing of prime importance in a suburban
house should be the utmost possible
nreautn ana openness.
Nothing adds so much to the apparent
size of a building or piece of ground or
garden. In some of the clow villages
both in old and New England, this
breadth is obtained by the total absence
of fences or walls between properties, and
' everybody must observe how much more
attractive such a treatment is than the
absnrdly rustic walls, with rough stones
on top, that are now springing up all
over our outlying districts. They aro a
th.-ini. because they nro of no use, and
they nre objectionable, because they are
ugly and cumbersome. Philadelphia

The story of James I. is a roman
tic and melancholy one. -He was
the second son o? Robert III., by
Arabella, daughter of Sir James
Drummond, of Stobhall, his elder
brother being that unlucky uuke oi
Rothesay, who, if the story is true,
was starved to death by his uncle at
Falkland. Born in 1394, he was
barely twelve years old, when, on
his way to France, he was captured
by the English cruisers. During
his" captivity in England, which
lasted ktill 1424, he resided"succes

He kept the nobles in order, and he

short. IheXing was assr ssmatea

A Poisoned Well in France.
The Academy of Sciences has re
ceived a communication Irom M.
Dujardin de Beaumetz on the great
1'ierreionds typhoid case last sum
mer. Al. U ernet, who occupies a
high post at the Ministry of Public
Instruction, his wile, toui children,
mother-in-law, and four servants,
hired a house at Pierrefonds. a fash
ionable resort near Compieene, con
tiguous to two others. Alter they
had rented it lor the season they
were told to beware ol the water in
the well. On this account they
drank exclusively mineral water
until the last day. when the stock
was out and the servants were too
busy preparing to return to Paris to
go toietch some bottles at the chem
ist's. Mme. Fernet said, "For once
surely there can be no harm in drink-
ins the well water." They. drank it,
Six-out of the nine persons have
since died, including ode of the serv
ants. The cook, two of the four
children, and Mme. Fernet had
typhoid-fever before, and, through
attacked again by it alter their re
turn from Pierrefonds, have got
through the illness. The well-water
ha3 been examined and is found to
contain typhoid bacilli. There was
a latrine at a short distance, which,
th surrounding soil being sodden
and cracked, would account for this;
but the mayor of Pierrefonds con
tradicts in two important points the
reports of M. Dujardin de Beaumetz.
He asserts that there was not anv
case of tvphoid in the houses next
to the one rented by M. Fernet, and
that Pierrefonds has not for many
year suffered Irom that disease. The
people in the two houses in question
drink well-water. I dare say the
mayor 13 right, but nevertheless the
Jvernets caught typhoid-lever irom

inhabitants drink freely and with
