The spoilers all take their place in the line marked for first grade, each one being provided with slate and pencil, and standing facing the audience. The first word will then be pronounced for spelling, and each speller will write it on his slate. The slates are then examined by the umpire passing down the line, and each one who has mis-spelled the word is required to retire to the second grade line which is two paces in the rear. The next word is then pronounced, written down by each speller, the slates examined as before, and each one mis-spell- ing is required to fal back one grade. This is continued until the time agreed upon expires, when it can readily be seen from the grade lines occupied by the spoilers how many words he has missed, and his relative ortho- graphical proficiency is at once determined. A few will, perhaps, be found in the line of first grade spoilers, more in the second grade, and not a few in the other grades. There can be as many grade lines as desired, but six will generally be sufficient. In matches con ducted on this plan, each candi- date stands on his own merits, and no one has the benefit of an- others trials at word; and then, too, each one is put to an equal test, since they all try the same words.

 The Bank of France owns a note which is a perfect brick" at least they thought so when they paid 1000 francs for it. It was taken from the ruins of a fire, and the figures of q bank note for 1000 francs had been transferred to the brick, and burned in. Therefore the bank redeemed the brick as though it were the note.
 A duel recently fought in Con necticut, by two young men mad dened with jealousy, was brought to harmless termination by the ingenuity of the seconds, who loaded the rifles with balls made of tallow, so that only a grease spot was left on each of the prin- cipals.
