slipshod use of English has been
faTorlte charge npaliist American writ
ers by tlielr Eugllsh cousins. The lat
est accusation is that we have gone so
frr as to force the English themselves
to use our slang. But Dr. Rosslter
Johnson has no- dllnculry In showing
that even classic English writers are
guilty of clumsy and Incorrect usages.
If this is the case with makers of Eng
lish in the slow and careful process of
book writing, the critic should not be
quite so captious concerning the slangy
or faulty English that creeps into the
American newspaper and periodical
produced under a degree of pressure
entirely foreign to a writer of books.
Dr. Johnson ranges over the field of lit
erature and shows by striking exam
ples how M!icaulay, Ruskin, De Quln

Marvelous Coincidence.
The following story was told by a
famous New York wit recently: A
party of skaters were once progressing
at considerable speed down a certain
frozen river in Canndn when, to the
hofrror of his companions, one of the
")arty"was seen to skate straight into
a hole In the ice. Before he could stop
himself he had fallen through it, and
the sharp edge of the Ice cut hla head
clean off his shoulders. The speed at
whlcli he was going, however, caused
his hend to skim along the top of the
ice, while the rest of his body traveled
at an equal speed beneath It, until, by
a stroke of good luck, the severed por
tions met at another hole farther down
nnd. Joined so exactly thnt the unfor
tunate man came out of his accident
with nothing worse than a severe cold.

Forest Giant In the Sequoia and Gen
eral Grant National Parka.
The Sequoia and General Grant Na
tional parks, the home of the big trees,
are situated in Tulnre and Fresno
counties, Cal., and are celebrated
mainly for the great groves of the big
trees which are scattered through
them. Sequoia National park may be
reached from Visalhi, thence by way
of electric railway to Lemon cove,
thence forty miles by stage or private
conveyance to Camp Sierra, In the
park. General Grunt National park
can be best reached from Sanger,
thence by automobile, stage or private
conveyance, a distance of forty-six
tulles to the park.
The streams and lakes In these parks
afford splendid trout fishing, boating
and batlilug. The waters are all pure
and fit to drink. The forests contain
the largest, oldest, tallest and most
valuable trees iu the world. Aside
from the giant Sequoia, there are other
forests of piue, fir, cedar and many
deciduous trees that are truly royal.
There are many shrubs, wild flowers,
ferns and mosses of superb beauty,
while frolicking wild nnlmiils and
beautiful song birds are another en
joyable feature of the parks.
In four of the groves certain trees
within theiu have been named, while
In all other groves they have not The

Years One May Count Upon Living at
Any Given Age.
No statistics have been calculated
with greater care than the tables which
give the exact expectation of life for
men and women at various ages.
These mortality tables are otlicially ac
cepted by the various states In the
United States, and ffiu them the life
insurance companies compute' their
rotes of insurance. They are ns ac
curate ns the most carefully gathered
figures can make them.
At ten years of age the expectation
of life is 48.72 years. When one has
reached tiio nge of twenty the chances
are much improved, and there Is still
an expectation of 42.20 years before
one. At the te of twenty-five 'the
average has improved, and there ore
still some thirty-nine years ahead.
For the normal man or woman thirty
years of age the average length of life
is sixty-five years. A person thirty-live
years old may count, according to these
tables, on thirty-two years more.
As each milestone is passed the pros
pect brightens. Thus at the age of
forty the prospect is for nearly twenty
nine years more, and at forty-five there
is an expectation of twenty-five more
years.
By the fiftieth year the expectation
is about twenty-one years, and in the
fifty-fifth year It is nenrly eighteen
more. A man of sixty may look for
ward with some confidence to fifteen
more years of life, and this increases
60 that at seventy years the prospect
Is eight years. On having successful
ly passed the eightieth year there is
an expectation of about five years.

great admirer of Alexander Hamilton,
and when the great Federalist was
killed by Aaron Burr in a duel he be
came the implacable enemy of the lat

New York the Judge saw Burr on the
opposite side of Nassau street . He
went across the street as fast as his
years would permit aud, brandishing
his cane In Burr's face, Bhouted:
"You're a scoundrel, sir, a scoundrel,

Burr proved equal to the emergency.
He raised his hat and bowed to the
ground and then said In his calmest
professional tone. "The opinions of the
learned chancellor are always entitled
to the highest consideration."

"The Code of Marcia Gray"
There are many forms of moral
honor, and every woman has her own
individual code of ethics to govern
various situations. The code of Marcia
