N IOWA professor has composed a letter, I presumed to have been written by a newly I graduated college student, la which are 160 1 word* habitually misspelled by the young men and women in his classes. He com piled then* from fifty-eight examination paper*. The words are those commonly used, both In writing and speaking, and the professor thinks that almost any teacher could lurnlth a similar list. We iiave no doubt of that. But what encouragement have the students to adhere to conventional English spelling when the teachers themsslves are straying after false orthographical godsT Here, for Instance, Is Prof. Otto Jespersen of tbe Uni versity of Copenhagen telling the students of Columbia University: \Much would also be achieved If scholars ot renown, philologists, students ot literature and writers of books In general would Indulge in some individual spellings, one In this class of wordsi and another in some other •lass. These Individual spellings need not be numerous, aor should they be necessarily consistent, and the author. Med. not give any other reason for his special hetero doxies than that they Just suit his fancy. This would •duetto readers by showing them tbat different spell- logs seed not always bo marks ot Illiteracy and that there may exist difference of opinions In this as wall as in other respects without any fear of human society tolling at once to pieces on that account\ Tho professor’s watchword Is “every man tor him self; show your Individuality In your spelling.\ This Is not spelling reform; it is anarchy, it Is Babel over -•gain.

Ont cause of tho high expense ot Jiving In cities is tho coat ot munlcjpal. government aad the tendency to exploit taxpayers with high-salaried officials and costly public improvements. The problem to be solved to reduce living expenses Is to have a better balanced population. Tbe massing of /the greater portion of the people in cities and tbe tend ency of migration from rural districts to centers of pop ulation are largely the cause of Increased living ex penses.

Oh, how do yon dor 1 havt never met you before, but I know Mrs. Pltrct. And I have used tha library for years. I often got books h trt when old Mr. Aktrs wss librarian, but I w u quite a girl then, and I guess I never read much but fairy books. I almost always ask for Miss Anderson when I come bert; she Is lovely—a perfect treasure—and takes such pains. But they say she’s away on her vacation, and so Is Miss Hardy, In the reading room. \Now I ’m going to read a paper next Monday afternoon before the Twenty Minute Culture Club; it’s the ilrst meeting of the season, and at my house. Here’s the title: ‘Italian Painters of Clnquecento.' ' \I can’t for the life ot me find where Clnquecento is, and I’ve looked through all the gazetteers and geographies you’ve got. Mrs. Brooks gave me the names of a lot of painters, but I don’t believe she knows much about v them or where they came from. “First there Is Vassery’s ‘Lives of the Painters;’ then there Is this Carlo Dolce far Nlente, who lived In 1497, and painted frescos for the BaBllica of San Raphael, whoever he may be. And I know I’ve read an article some where about Bambino; I wish you would let me take some book about him. Oh, yes, I r&member; he was a monk who fell In love with some nun he was painting, and Instead ot elop ing with her, retired to a convent and wrote sonnets about her all the rest ot his life. The Italians are such an ar tistic race, and their art Is so mingled with love affairs! “There was some one, I remember— I think it was Ponte Vecchio, but I am not sure—who painted a lady’s por trait, nml had musicians playing all the time tso her husband wouldn't hear him make love to her. Oh, I re member It all! You recall it, don't you. Doctor PltrctT T h trt Is a plo- turs, I saw It not long ago, that shows him meeting hsr, and hs has his hand on his heart.

Then they were pub lished In the Golden Book of Venice, and every year they made tba doge Jump Into the sea. “And I want to got a book about An d m del Sarto because it struck mi that Sarto wm tho name of ths prss- sat pope, aad It would bt Intonating to t s t if thty a n nlatad.'

As tht ktlek goes—a contrivance sacred to tht rlvsr Tigris alaee the-daya ot Adam and Eve —tho distance is nigh upon‘a thou sand miles; and the time occupied anywhere between eight and twenty days. In “The Short Cut to India,\ David Fraser tells of the kslek^ and of . his Journey. The kelek is easily constructed. Take any number of Inflated goatskins from one hundred up to eight hundred, and tie them In rows underneath a framework of light poplar poles. One of two. pairs of great oars complete the ship, and It is ready for ere*, cargo and passengers. When a \globe-trotter” ships aboard a kelek some of the cargo is left be hind, and upon the space thus left vacant a hut is erected. A light wooden framework is hung round with cotton walls that roll up or let down, acoording to the desire of the occu pant. In addition, the roof has a thick grass mat to keep out the tan. The traveler enjoys entire privacy as regards the people on his own kelek, tor he gives orders that nobody Is to come abaft his gable. At the end of his little house, and projecting astern of the raft, is a tiny bathroom pro tected from public gaze by cloth walls. Thus the kelek combines all the ad vantages of a modern mansion, living room, kitchen, sanitary arrangements, abundant light and air, and panoramic scenery that Is an eternal feast for the eye. We sailed one morning a t 10 o'clock, with the temperature over a hundred In the shade. But heat may be cor rected by a minimum of clothes and a maximum of cold water.

I looked for a long time baton I leaped, thinking the while that al though a man may forget how to sing, or dance, or pray, he can naver forgot how to swim, and then I shut my eyas and Jumped. For my faith I waa mag nificently rewarded, and that flrst swim In the brimming Tigris w u abso lutely and completely glorious. Then w u a mild adventure, too. Suddenly tha water deepantd, and 1 swam frantically after the keltk. Jast u I caught up with It, ths river ahal- lowed again. I tried to Jump aboard, but the Jaggad projecting poles ot tht framework made throwing oneself for ward moat dUBcult The pace w u so great that ao aooner had I lifted a. foot than the ktltk slipped away from if, and with my weak hands I could not help the sltuatton. A daepenlng of the water resulted in rescue from a.ridfr eulous aad uncomfortable position. Their tmm f Clak. In tho engineering shops ot a otr- taln English firm the workmeil at a year or two ago originated what they called tha L u y club. It w u antlrtly their own idea, which for obvloua rea sons has received neither recognition nor flnancial support from the man agement, but has been the most ex cellent means of reducing the num ber of late comers. Whenever a workman Is more than five minutes after time he flnda the gate locked, and he is not allowed to enter until the half hour is up. This half hour Is deducted ti’Om hit wages, but In addition he b u also to pay to the treasurer ot the Lazy club about 5 cents tor coming late. If he Is late more than once or ao during a week everybody Is aware of the tact, and the second or third time he makes his appearance after start ing time hs le greeted with a terrific combination of no less produced1 on any available material by his fellow workmen. At certain periods the accumulated funds of the Lazy club are divided, not among those who have produced them, It should be noted, but among the entire Btaff equally. Thus the late workman Is made to pay the early comers for his laziness. The last distribution was Just prlo! to a \bean feast,\ and funds accumu lated during twelve months were dis tributed, amounting to over $1.75 a head.—System. Nearly every one can find a lot of ways to reduce expenses, but that Isn’t what people are looking for; they want to reduce prices. Agents and cyclones should bs dodged; you can't bluff them.

The armor bearers who served as attendants of the knights by way of bodyguard wo e called esquires. Later, In England the king created esquires by placing col lars about their nepks and bestowing upon them pairs ot silver spurs. The title haa never lapsed In tbat country. There are now legally esquires by heritage, by creation, or by virtue of the holding ot some office. In this country the title has come Into general use simply by courtesy, but It must be admitted that it Is a very flimsy excuse tor its adoption.
