"Dog Latln" ls no very expllclt term In the.flrst place, lt certalnly doea not mean whnt lt says, 1. o., the sort of Latln used by dogs, and this fact leaves somo conjecturo aa to what lt doee mean.

About the only loglcai ground to take ih the matter Is that of Whistler in reference to eggs, the assumptlon that an egg whlch is only tolerable ls very. very bad, and this wouid undoubtedlv warrant the Eton Latin Grammar, First London Editiou, page 1, in its incluslon of the medical and legal forms in "Dog Latin." Mntthla*. Will you be good enough to give the facts in the career of the rellglous impostor Matthlas? T. T. W. It Is assumed that you intend Rob¬ ert Matthews, a natlve of Washington county, N. Y., born about 17S8. of Scotch famlly. He took the name Mat¬ thlas about 1S20, and gave out that he was a Jew (seeming to have some no- tlon of a relncarnation), and estab- lished a sort of church and attracted several converts among persons of wealth, who enabled hlm to llve In great luxury. It was the common vlow that Matthlas was clearly unbal- anced and hls wrltlngs certalnly give color to the oplnion. He. never. at- talned any considerable followlng, and disappeared from the publlc vlew on hls arrest in 1S35 for fraud and on tho susplclon of belng party to the death of Elijah Picrson, one of his most- con¬ siderable converts, and known arnons, the elect as John tho Baptist. There is a llfe of Matthlas, publlshed ln New York in 1835. which will give all thal ls now known of him. Whccl** on a Curvc.

But you may bo sure that your frlend wlll meet wlth just as hearty courtesy ln the Audltor's office whon she seeks a penslon as she would meet ln tho office of the Treasurer II she were collectlng tho tntorest on State bonda. As to the other matter nothlng short of a brlef rosumo ol English grammar would cover It lr detall.

Is the work of the englneer of an electric railway one whlch demands speciai natural lilness? RICHMOND BOY It is curlous how deep-seated. is tho notion that reasonnble success ln any of the lines of humnn activlty indl- oates the possnsr.ion of unusinl nbllltv: In the average person appllcatlon is made to hlmself and the accumulatlon of a reasonable-nmount of monoy or of some reputatlon in his professlon ls made the ground of an assumed supo- riority which would hardly bocomo the Lydian Croesus or Slr Francia Bacon. The more humble-mlnded of us con- feaaed hero-worshlpers, llko tho Quer.v Column.are apt to regard othora wlth this appreclatlon, and when a genlus ls known to havo performed tho tre¬ mendous menta feat of adding two and two, to exclaim: ."Verily, this prodlgy hath Isaac Newton skln- ned." it is a fact so plaln that lt ought not to need stating that tho vast ma¬ jority of peoplo aro ordlnary, common, overy-day average peraons. It ls a necessary corollary from that fact that tho general run of buman vocatlons dc not demand more of any quality, moral, mcntal or physlcal, than the average 'human belng possesses. Woro thla 'not true, the human raqe would not bc lltted for ita envlronmont, and thal envlronment would have to be.altorec or tho race would parlah.
