Exchange. About lb Spelling of Words. ' The Springfield Republican tin adopted the disagreeable trick of spelling certain familiar words ending in "gue" without their full complement of letters. In re viewing a new book a few days ago it ayt, for instance. "The author excels in bright and amnsing dialog." etc. It al ways fatigs us to see such vulgar liber ties taken with our native tong, and we think it as much of a crime for a liter ary man to cut off the end of a word as for a rog to cut off the end of a pig's tail, for instance. Form is to all printed language what brog is to the speech of the Irishman, and a pUifc. we say, be on the man who would deprive either of its natural charms.

To he threatened with death from thr bite of an ordinary house fly is a strung thing, but recently Joseph Swain was iu danger of losing his life from that cause. Mr. Swnin had a slight abrasion on the skill of liis left hand. It whs a very sim ple injury, not being severe enough to break the outer cntiole. On Saturday, whilo seated in his house, he felt a sharp, stinging sensation on the injured spot. A ily was biting him, and he had to shake hm hand several tunes to drive him away. Immediately Mr. Swain felt pain in his hand and the hand be , 'an to swell. By evening the swelling nml the pain had extended to the wrist, and the next morning, when Dr. Peyton wns called in, the wholo arm as far as the elbow had assumed abnormal propor tions. The patient was suffering excru ciating pain, and he had passed a night of agony. Everything indicated blood poisoning, and the physician regarded it as a seri ous case. Tho doctor is of the opinion that there is a new species of fly about here, the bite of which is poisonous. They resemble the house fly in every way, excepting that they are smaller and blacker. The most prolmWo theory is that the fly injected into Mr. Swain's arm some poisonous substance drained from some thing upon which the fly had been feed ing. Stockton (Cal.) Mail. Liberality In Dress. The invitation of an up river vicnr to boating men to nttend the services at Ms church in their flannels is another indi cation of the prevailing spirit of liber ality in dress. Tho old restrictions seem to be gradually in course of remuvul, and there is some danger that a contrary extreme may in time be indulged in. For instance, the presence of a man in a Norfolk jacket in the stalls of a fashion able west end theater the other even ing gave rise to Boine fears on the part of ladies presetit that "the poor man had had no dinner." Had lie overheard the convolution he would have experienced no difficulty in comprehending the im plied rebuke. In Paris there has been a movement to revive frills and embroideries on evening shirts, and moro than one gom maux has adapted the jabot of lace a little plaited frill that is familiar enough in the portraits of tho Seventeenth cen tury. Velvet facings to evening coats have also been seen in Paris, and it would not be improbable thut the wear ers would ostracize any Btranger who would appear even at a club in post prandial hours in a Norfolk jacket. London Standard. Apples In Western New York. Now thut the cold winds of winter are beginning to blow over us, the apple buyers aro quietly storing away qnanti ties of fruit to put on the market later on. This year s crop has been a fairly good one for an off year, and the price of apples during the winter will be within reach of every one, it is said. Despite the unpromising outlook during the summer mouths, growers have pro duced enough to supply the home de mand. Erie county is behind in her annual production peruaps, but Niagara, Or leans, Qenesee, Mouroe and adjoining counties will make up the deficit. In the western states apples are said to be scarce, but in the eastern, particularly Massachusetts and New Hampshire, quite a quantity have been bought up. The exports this rear will be light. Commission merchants say the year has been especially good for pearti and quinces. Buffalo Express. A Slav Trader's Hurled Cold. A search for buried gold is being con ducted under peculiar circumstances by a man and woman, eleven miles out on the Nolensville pike. The parties en gaged in the search are E. C. Beardsley, of Pittsburg, who claims to be state geologist, and Mrs. L. A. Cook, of New Orleans. The story goes that Mrs. Cook had a dream that a slave trader buried 1185,000 in gold in earthen jugs during the war, aud that this fact and the loca tion of the gold were revealed to Mrs. Cook in a dream. The parties are ston ing at a local hotel, and visit the tup posed location of the bnried treasure very day. Cor.

Few women realize the importance ol oromntness in the matter of keeping nn engagement. A few minutes more or less In their eyes Is too trivial to be regarded, and when they say 10 o'clock 10:20 will answer just as well, they think, and would bo much ollenikd If a person were to sug gest that it is anything but pleasant to be kept waiting such a length of time. How many young men couiu ten or im patient moments spent in a put lor waiting for some fair damsel who was to have been readv at 7:45, but who fails to matcrallzo until the clock on the mantel roveals the fact that at least half of the first act Is over! It Is all a mottor of habit. Either wuy, a woman can just as cosily make It a rule to be always prompt as to be always late. The one on w hom you can depend will be the one to get the most invitations, while the other may be asked out once or twice before her ways are discovered, but It will not be a very frequent happening when she is at last found out, for men of business methods carry even Into their so cial angagements an exactitude that they expect of others, and the woman who lets a man cool his heels at the door of some dry goods store for a half hour before she nuts in an appearance, or itisscs over ner gown until the soup is cold or the curtain un will not have the enjoyment mat tne one who is on time to the minute is almost certain to derive. Philadelphia Times. Jealous Wives. Can a wife afford to show jealousy is a question that many wives ought to ponder. The jealousy thut was so sweet, so piquant and so flattering in aswectheartis irksome, unbearable and not to be countenanced in the wife. It Is too prohibitive, too auto cratic and too arbitrary, so tho husband argues, and in nine coses out of ten the wife who is Jealous nuu snows it tenches her husband deceit, nay. Inspires him to It In a very mannish spirit of opposition. The minute you put a fence around a man and tell him he must stay inside of it, that min ute he begins to scheme how he can skin over it or else creep through it. Whatever bis faults, no man is Improved in his virtues by black looks, recrimina tions or mnrtyr airs. When he gets these for foolish, harmless offenses for men are very weak and succumb to all sorts of temptations he says to himself, "All right; 1 11 just give ner something to be sorry for." He isn't above lying to her, and to escape surliness, fits of temper, tears, hysterics or an air of martyrdom to which Joan of Arc in the flames was as nothing, many other men will say any one of the sex Is justified in any sort of prevarication. At any rate Jealousy exiitmtcu in a wile when the honeymoon is over is as impolitic as it is futile, New York Commercial Ad vertiser. Presents for the Servants. The problem us to how we may most ac ceptably and at tho same time most wisely make a choice or gifts lor servants is ever a perplexing one. This need hardly be so If (given efficient servants) we make a st udy of their individual needs and tastes. If. after the trying cares and duties of the day, an attractive room awaits them much of irritable discomfort will vanish; there fore add little adornments to their rooms. A pretty work basket or small writing desk well stocked, a pair of warm bedroom slippers, a bright shade for the sewing lamp, a soft cushion or headrest for the rocking chair and, If a toste has been dis covered for reading, a small bookcase for the wall and some suitable books. Little additions to the bureau, u pair of decorated linen covers to be used alter nately, a pretty pin or hair pincushion, a brush and comb case, a whisk with orna mental holder, and as incentives to tidy habits a linen laundry, shoe or duster bag. an umbrella pocket or an ornamental scrap basket, for the servant who has uo pride in her surroundings is more liable to be care less, and less likely tospeml much of her lei sure time in her room.

Women have the same salaries and eqnal positions in the tele graph and postoflices in Norway and Denmark as men, and in Denmark may become "station masters" on the rail way, while they also figure as shorthand writers in the parliament.

MA J The hi-lemllle Mel hod lu PuUUce, True iutelloctuivl manhood hot not been nttalued until men have learned to truut nature, to test ull opinions and schemes by the touchstone fif natural Liw, and us a necessary result to despise swaddling cluthet and leading strings and all tho paraphernalia of creeping childhood or .timorous Imlvecility. We lee heforo us, as we believe, a prospect of manhood for the American jieoph) inch a manhood as they have never be fore uttuinod to ono of the chief signs fif which will be a proud confidence in themselves, and in connection and through harmony therewith a noble und generous lienring toward all other na tions. Heretofore men politically prominent among ourselves havo not been ashamed to suggest that tho best policy for us was the one that wrought most evil to otl-er countries, and hnvo thus fed and stimu lated all that was meanest and most ma lignant iu tho minds of those whom they addressed. There has thus been culti vated among a jicoplo which ought, from its advantages of (Hisition, to bo the most cosmopolitan nnd broadly philanthropic of nil nations a toiio of feeling more petty nnd parochial than couhl iierhnps he found in any other community of the modem world. Tho mark has, however, been overshot, und tho better filling nnd better senso of the American jicoplo nro now, we may trust, about to assert them selves. Popular .Science Monthly. I'erlodntes as a Cure fur Cholera. The experiments now being mnde with crystals of M-riodate and periodnte of iron for the treatment of cholera cases in the barracks of Hamburg have re sulted in n remarkable falling off in the death rate at those barracks us compared with other hospitals in thnt city. Dr. Weaver, who wns the first to use the pcriodates, claims that this method is si m ply nn application of tho principle of sanitation to the hotly, and that it is at onco preventive nnd curative as a sys tem of phvsical disinfection and cleans ing. The porimlnto appeurs to kill the disease germs instantly, yet it is per fectly harmless to the human system, even when introduced in large quanti ties. Tho periodnte of iron has been used in cases in which an unusually strong nerve or heart stimulant has been deemed nec essary, or for severe neuralgic symptoms. The powdered crystals have been used to disinfect the alimentary canal and as a water solution to wush out the stomach in cases of severe vomiting. They hnve been employed also for transfusions un der the skin or into a vein in order to re store suspended circulation of the blood. In a case of collapse the patient has been given drafts of periodate sufficient to re store the pulse and cause the heart lieats to return. London Times. Rest for m llusy Man. There need lie little hesitation In saying that, for old persona, "a day iu bed" Is a healthful measure of vast importance. If the aged person is wise, he or she will make it a regular practice to spend a couple of days per week in the repose which a sojourn in lied alone can give. Hest in a chair or on a sofa will not stifllce. These procedures are too nearly akin to the everyday practice to lie of any survice. Countless tempta tions to exertion await the person who Is out of lied, while conversely, if he is in bed, the idea of work or of labor and movement Is essentially abolished. Such repose is ah solute, and if rest is u great medicine, as all know it is for old folks, "a duy in bed," as a regular and not occasional practice, may lie regarded as invaluable lieyond compre hension. I go further In my advocacy of "a day In bed" as a health measure. I happen to know the case of a busy man whose life is one long period of physical and mental ao tivlty, anil who has found of late years that no measure possesses anything like the,recii)eratlve effects which follow adny's rest iu bed. Even iu bis holiday season this person is given to take an occasional siesta In his bedroom. Provided with light literature he enjoys bis repose as another man delights in an outing, and his mental and physical energy i recruited in an easy and satisfactory manner by this practice Hence, not for the old alone, hut for those in middle life, "a day in bed" maybe rec ommended as a measure worth trying in the light of physiological experience of its value. Health Bulletin. The flcan and Pea Weevil. It has been found by Dr. Riley that the lame of the bean and the pea weevil when hutched have thoracic feet and other struc tures which admirably serve their needs of locomotion until they enter the bean or pea, when with a cast of the sklu they are dis carded, aud the grubs assume the ordinary footless shape of larval weevils. It has long been known that the egg of the pea weevil Is laid on the outside of the pod, being fas tened thereto. While ordiuarily entering the pea directly from the umber colored egg, it sometimes enters the pod In the neighborhood of the egg, and then mines along the inside of tho pod for some dis tance, lieing quite active and moving rap idly and with ease. As In the case of the bean weevil, the young pea weevil, Dr. Riley finds, molts aud loses its legs and other post embryonic characters as soon as It has penetrated the pea. We would add that here is a clear case of adaptation to new needs induced by a new environment. Having no use f"r legs, which have been retained until just after hatching, they are cast off. Aud this con Anns our view thut the great group of weevils arc not the earliest and lowest of beetles, as Dr. Le Conte supposed, but iu reality are late, highly modified forms, which have become recently degraded by tho loss of parts well developed in ordinary beetles.

Why fif conrso I believe in them," mid Wos nciun lo a group of congenial Bohemians crowded around tho lunch counter nuuit midnight. "Thorn's u hunt now, " and ho pointed to a big black cat which st.'iilthily mado its way in tho door and under u table, out of the shadow of which ills eyes glowed red and green. "That cat' a hunt and a luiHciit all iu one. "One stormy night about four yciini !oho camo in here, and he's never been :iway since. There used to bo an old imsiclim who visited us every night Heady for years. Ho used to come iu liul low eyed mid haggard. Ho never said r. word, but laid down his money, got lilt bracer Old Tom ' gin always the tame, and went on his way. Tho tiiuo liin cut camo iu tho night man noticed that the old musician hadn't uppeuiitd. It was a stormy night, lis), just iiliout thia time, Tho wind howled nnd moaned, and tho lightning flashed in red ribbons, whilo tho thunder cracked liko the guns of battlo nnd rcverberuted iu a boom that mado ull tho dishes iu tho house, rattle. It was a luil night, too dismal by far for jienplo to bo ont in. Every body was sitting around tho stovo talk ing. Just as tho clock wns striking 12, Mr. Frnz-ee expressed wonder that tho old man, meaning tho musician, hadn't come in. At that moment tho big black cat camo in und took his place by tho stovo and never uttered a meow, and he s never been away since, and, mora tlinn that, ho never sloos. If that cut should go to slwp, I lielievo tho houso would fall down. Onco in awhilo ho gets alit tlo bit sick, mid thou everything goes wrong. "But tho Htrimgo part of tho dtovy is thut tho old musician never came back. Two days later ho was pulled out of the river deail He must have jumped in the same night that eat came. I believe the spirit of that old man is iu that cut. What nulhcs mo -believe so is thut us soon as a baud puKsc that door playing thut cut makes for tho river us fust ushu can tear. He goes away the moment any music is heard, and he doesn't tarry when lie starts. Whut he goes to the river for I don't know. Perhaps it was musio that drove the old man crazy. I've heard soma music thut would tlrivo anybody so. "Florida Tiiuos-Uuiou. Railways In the Ottoman rinptre. The continual extension of railways In Turkey In general, and especially lu the Syriuu province of the empire, is of some what wider interest than the economic Im portance of the lines built or building would suggest. The railway Kilicy of the Ottoman government has resulted so fur In the construction of three tmuk lines through the northern and central portions of the sultan's Asiatic dominions. These line embrace n railway from llaldar Pasha a suburb of Constantinople running right through the heart of Asia Minor, ami tbence dow a to the Tigris valley, Bagdad and the Persian gulf, the object being to link the latter gulf with the waters of the J olden Horn; the second, a line from Bain soon, on the Black sea, southward to Ayas, on the Mediterranean, ami so link together the thick and Mediterranean seas; third, to connect the Mediterranean sen through Damascus and the Knphrates valley with the Persian gulf. The first line has been undertaken by a German company, which has already car ried the line to Angora, 4-10 miles inland from Constantinople. A Belgian company holds the concession for the second line, and bits already completed the survey of the first portion. The third line Is iu pos session of an Fngllsh company, whose operations have already reached the point of actual construction, and this line, which passes through Syria and the Knphrates valley, will form part of the shortest route to India. London Times Universities In America In a lecture before students of the Johns Hopkins university President Gilman proved pretty conclusively that Professor von Hoist was incor rect when he stated that there were no universities in America. There are universities in this country which will soon be, if they aro not already, the peers of any iu the world. With liberal endowments many of them have been enabled to secure the serv ices of the most noted educators, and their students will rank as high as those of the older universities of Eu rope. Iu the higher education of women this country stands today far in advance of all other lands and has set the example which other coun tries now follow. Baltimore Ameri can.

SEVERE EXPOSURE Often results In colds, fevers, rheumatism, neuralgia and kindred derangements. We do not "catch cold " if we are in good condi tion. If the liver is active, and the system in consequence doing its duty, wo live in full health and enjoy life " rain or shine." To break up a cold there's nothing so valuable as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They keep tho whole system regulated in a perfectly natural way. If wo do not feel happy, if wo worry and grumble, if we are morbid, if the days seem dreary and long, if tho weather is bad, if things go awry, it is the liver which it at fault It ia generally "torpid." A common sense way is to take Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. W e generally eat too much, take insufficient exercise, by means of which our tissue-changes become indolent and in complete. Be comfortable yon are com fortable when well. You'll be well when you have taken " Pleasant Pellets." No Constipation follows their use.
