Bules For Spelling
There are some people to whom the
difficulties presented by orthography ap
pear absolutely unconquerable beyond
a certain point. Whatever other facul
ties they mt.y possess, they were not
born to spell.
“I know people have all kinds of
methods for learning to spell according
as they should,” said Captain Saunders
to a summer resident of Saltville who
had been assisting him in the composi
tion of a business letter. “I’ve heard
’em tell of the rules and regulations
times enough, but they don’t help me a
mite. There’s only just one rule I’ve
got to go by. ”
“What is that, Captain Saunders?”
asked his visitor.
“Words of one syllable I go by the
sound,” said Captain Saunders, cheer
fully setting forth his system ; ‘ ‘words
of two syllables I go by guesswork,
when I can’t get hold of a dictionary,
and when it comes to words of three
syllables and over I put my trust in
Providence!”
“And how does your rule work?”
asked his friend, after joining the cap
tain in a hearty laugh.
“Well, ma’am,” Captain Saunders
responded, instantly growing sober
again, “words of one syllable I reckon
I get right about half the time; words
of two syllables, say about a third,
maybe. And as for three syllables and
over, without the dictionary, why, I
ain’t distrusting Providence, you under
stand, ma’am, but from what I gather
I’ve about come to the conclusion that
the Lord calculates to have some poor
spelling done and is willing Jabez
Saunders should take his turn at it. ”
Youth’s Companion.
Filed Her Milky White Teeth.
Busuk’s long black hair had to be
done up in a marvelous chignon on the
top of her head. First her maids washed
it beautifully clean with the juice of
the lime and the lather of the soap nut.
Then- it was combed and brushed until
every hair glistened like ebony. Next it
was twisted up aud stuck full of the
quaint golden and tortoise shell bod
kins, with here and there a spray of
jasmine and chumpaka.
Busuk’s milky white teeth had to bo
filed off more than a fourth. She put
her head down on the lap of the woman
and closed her eyes tight to keep back
the hot tears that would fall, but after
the pain was over and her teeth were
blackened she looked in the mirror at
her swollen gums and thought that she
could chew the betel nut from the box
her mother had given her.
The palms of her hands and the nails
of her fingers and toes were painted red
with henna and the li<Js of her eyes
touched up with antimony. When all
was finished, they led her out into the
great room, which was decorated with
mats of colored palm, masses of sweet
smelling flowers and maidenhair fern.
There they placed her in the chair of
state to receive her relatives and friends.
—Rounseville Wildman in Overland.
When Sovereigns Meet.
The innumerable banquets which are
offered to the royal persons on every oc
casion are exact emblems of the many
valuable aud pleasant days which are,
at their instigation and by their com
mand, wasted in senseless formula.
Once, when costume was beautiful, pag
eantry was so also, and ceremonial
was so also; but now both are unsightly
and grotesque. Two bearded men in
helmets, or caps, kiss each other on a
railway footboard. Old ladies in water
proof cloaks toddle through two lines of
policemen. A fat gentleman, in a round
hat, with a cigar in his mouth, walks
over a piece of red carpet, nodding to a
bending human hedge of supple spines.
Faces beam inanely; throngs outside the
station doors cheer, they know not why.
Troops are massed in readiness, for no
where are these personages safe from
attempts upon their lives. The whole
thing is unlovely, absurd, anomalous, a
caricature of what was once both intel
ligible and respectable, but in which
there is no longer either prestige or
symbolism. Without dignity in its ob
ject loyalty is a mere boneless bundle
of wornout robes and dignity perishes
at the scream of the railway whistle.—
Ouida in Forum.
A Source of Contagion.
It has been proved by abundant inves
tigation that one prolific source of epi
demic diseases is found in the liability
of the germs of such diseases to lodge
in the mouth around the teeth and gums.
A physician examined the teeth of the
children of a certain school. He found
disease germs present in almost every
case. By careful watching he discovered
that those children whose teeth were
kept cleanest suffered less from epi
demic diseases. The neglected condition
of the teeth is, therefore, a common
cause of illness. Indeed, if one takes the
trouble to observe with what rapidity
the tartar and cheesy matter accumulate
around the teeth of people who are out
of health they will not be long in mak
ing up their minds that a thorough and
judicious use of the toothbrush is not
very far from a means of grace.—New
York Ledger.
Life of a Locomotive.
Some careful experiments which have
been made in England prove that the
life of a locomotive is about 500,000
train miles—in other words, that a lo
comotive of the latest approved pattern
will run 500,000 miles before wearing
out so as to be useless. In making this
run of a half million miles the firebox
will have to be renewed three times,
the wheel tires five or six times aud the
crank axles from three to five times.
Minnesota ana south Dakota are the
only two states in the Union that have

The standard dollar was authorized
by act of congress Feb. 28, 1878, and
coinage was begun in the same year.
SPEED OF INSECTS.
A Common House Fly Travels a Mile In
Thirty-three Seconds.
It is the popular belief that the flight
of the birds is much swifter than that
of the insects, but a number of natural
ists who have been making a study of
the matter think that such is not the
case.
A common house fly, for example, is
not very rapid in its flight, but its
wings make 800 beats a second and
send it through the air 25 feet, under
ordinary circumstances, in that space of
time. When the insect is alarmed, how
ever, it has been found that it can in
crease its rate of speed to over 160 feet
per second. If it could continue such
rapid flight for a mile in a straight line,
it would cover that distance in exactly
83 seconds.
It is not an uncommon thing when
traveling by rail in the summer time to
see a bee or wasp keeping up with the
train and trying to get in at one of the
windows. A swallow is considered one
of the swiftest of flying birds, and it
was thought until recently that no in
sect could escape it.
A naturalist tells of an exciting chase
he saw between a swallow aud a dragon
fly, which is among the swiftest of in
sects. The insect flew with incredible
speed and wheeled and dodged with
such ease that the swallow, despite its
utmost efforts, completely failed to over
take and capture it.—Science.
Four Aces Beat Five Kings.
The joke about four aces beating five
kings has been often sprung, but there
are a few people who know that Bill
Lange of the Chicago team was the hero
of that famous incident. It was years
ago in San Francisco, when Lange was
a budding boy and King Kalakaua was
a social star during his trip to this coun
try. Lange, although so young, was
even then a hot sport, and, so it chanced,
happened one night to find himself in a
hot poker game, with King Kalakaua
opposite. Bill had three aces—history
deposes not as to how many he had held
out—and Kalakaua three kings. Every
body dropped out except the king and
the boy. Kalakaua caught another king
in the draw, and Lange received the
final ace. There was considerable bet
ting, a coast millionaire backing Lange
heavily, and a goodly sum was in sight
when the call came. The hands were
shown, and thus it happened that Bill
Lange, with four aces, defeated five
kings—Kalakaua and the four lesser
monarchs of the deck.—Chicago News.
Individuality and Style.
In one sense Fenelon was perhaps
right. Individuality is sometimes called
style, and a man is seldom more suc
cessful in changing his nature than the
leopard in changing his spots. Tintoret
to was furious, Rembrandt was emo
tional, Rubens was splendid, and their
styles were but the expressions of their
individualities. In the same sense Mi
chael Angelo had style, though a
Winckelmann would have pronounced
him a barbarian; Teniers had style,
though Louis XIV called him a ‘ ‘mag
got” and would not tolerate his pic
tures; Delacroix had style, though the
classicists said his pictures looked as
though painted with a drunken broom.
Each one of them expressed himself in
his own peculiar way and possessed
style as Fenelon described it.
Why, then, were they denounced?
Why were Hugo, Alfred de Mussett,
Millet and Manet scouted as rebels?
Why do we today talk about the poems
of Walt Whitman and the landscapes of
Claude Monet as lacking in style since
none of us denies that they show strong
individualities? Is it not because they
fail in giving that other style which
Sir Joshua called the “grand style,”
and the meaning of which Buffon sug
gests in that phrase, “to render prop
erty?”—Scribner’s.
The Na&te of the Vatican.
The Mons Vaticanus is sometimes
said to have received its name from
vaticinium, an oracle or phophecy, for
tradition says that Numachose the Vat
ican hill as a sacred place from which
to declare to the people the messages he
received from the gods. It is not, how
ever, one of the seven hills on which
ancient Rome was built, but forms a
part of the ridge beginning with the
Janiculus and ending with Monte
Mario, all of which was outside the an
cient limits of the city. In our day the
name is applied only to the immense
pontifical palace adjacent to and con
nected with the basilica of St. Peter’s.
