Episcopal Clergyman Wants "The
Holy City" Sung Hight.
New York, Feb. 7.-Do you sing
"The Holy City?" Yes? Well, how
do you chant the word "Jerusalem?"
Is lt "Jer-u-8a-lem"or "Je-ru-se-lum."
And If so, why? Of course you may
be one of these liberal enunciators,
but if you say "Je-ru-sa-lum" and are
overheard by Rev. Dr. C. E. Cragg,
rector of St. John's Episcopal church,
of Huntington, L. I., he may write
you a corrective letter.
Dr. Cragg says Miss Gladys Dean
so pronounced the word at an enter
tainment given by the Huntington
Historical Society Friday night last.
So he sat down .and wrote her this:
"My Dear Miss Dean: Although na
turally unknown to you, I take the
liberty of calling your attention to a
defect In your entertainment of last
evening that perhaps you may be
able to remedy before lt ls given to
night.
"1 refer to the pronunciation of
the word 'Jerusalem by the lady who
sang, or rather intoned, "The Holy
City.' She pronounced tho word 'Jer
u-see-lum,' when, of course, as you
know, lt should be 'Jer-u-sa-lem.'
The syllable 'sa' should not be pro
nounced as If it were 'see' or 'sar.'
"It seems only a little thing, but lt
made the whole number an object of
ridicule to many, which Is particular

When she received the letter there
was nothing for Miss Dean to dc but
cry. She did lt copiously. Then she
ibocame 'Uncensed and showed the
chiding missive to several friends.
They in turn told c hers, and it was
not long before a score of persons
knew the letter by heart. The cleri
cal reproof aroused indignation
which may cause trouble In the

Chewing Gum Spoils Eyes.
(Washington Post.)
Warning against the excessive use
of chewing gum was issued yesterday
to the 2,500 athletes of the Young
Men's Christian Association by Dr.
S. H. Greene, Jr., of the association's
physlcial examination staff.
"Tho Immoderate chewing of
gum," said Dr. Greene, "may lead to
stomach disorder, and occasionally
may also be a conducive cause of
weak eyes. The salivary glands are
continually robbed of their Juices.
Thus digestion will bo Inadequately
performed at meal times.
"The habit also saps the tear ducts,
making the eyes dry and weak."
