[Amerfcan journal OF Education.l

American journal Ob EIuuCtttluu'l
There is probably not a teacher who
has not sighed over the amount OF tune
which is sunk in trying to teach English
spelling, and looked with envy on the
teachers in France and, Germany, who
have no such trouble.
It is true that there are some rules
which are Of service, as, for instance,
with regard to the doubling or not doub-
ling final single consonant in mono
syllable or dissyllabic words, and the
rule with regard to the two examinations
ieue aud clue. There is some help to be
derived from even slight knowledge
Of Latin.
A pupil who had recog nized the Latin
miser in miserable" would not make
the fourth letter in it either an or
a Il, and would not spell temporal "
with an after %. In fact, much more
can be done with Latin than is generally
done, but after all, the majority OF our
words perhaps, arc seemingly caprlclons
in their spelling, and rules are Of little
avail. - =,
We are inclined often to believe that
spelling comes by grace-for there are
those who are college graduates, and
: who vet find it impossible, with ali tilelP
efforts, to be sure on their spelling
while the e are others who have never
really studied spelling lesson in their
lives, and yet almost never make an
error, or even usea dictionary to pre-
vent one.
Again, many one will spell correctly
if he speak orally, and Immediately pro-
coed to write the self-same words wrong.
The whole matter seems to be "0ne
more mystery" and we are inclined to
think that there exists q subtle RELATION
ship between the good speller and the
poet, and that the former, like the lat
tiers, is born and not made. We are In
clined to let the whole matter, as a
seDarate recitation, go by the board, and
trust that as we cultivate observation,
and as the range of our reading Wldens,
spelling will take care OF itself: we
are not sure now but that this is the
correct theory-that is to say, after the
very first years OF school life.
Il is not practically true to say that
/ If q pupil never saw word mlsspelled
| he would spell it always correctly, foI
! there are plenty of simple words which
the Lew pupil has never seen spelled
otherwise than correctly, lEG yet on
/ which he seems to exhaust his inVenttys
powers, when we ask him to write them
j One thing is certain 1t is folly te
| try and teach child to spell words, tllt
i meaning of which he dOes not eomDre

folly to expect him to spell correctly al

Standard Italian Queens.

~. E. Moore in American Bee Journall
There has been a good deal written
on this subject during the past veal, and
now are we any nearer together IN our
conclusions as to what constitutes the
" standard OF excellence in italian
queens II should order queen each
from a dozen different breeders, re-
questing them to send what they con-
sidered the standard Of excellence"
what a variety there would be as to
color, markings and size. Now, al
though there might be no two Of the
twelve exactly alike, still they might all
be pure queens. Upon testing them,
however, il is highly probable | should
find marked difference in the color Of
their worker progeny. Some would
thlow very light color, others fair
color, while some would be dark. AS
the profit of the worker bee is in the
honey they gather, the one that gath ers
the most tbe they light or dark coloredl
is the bee for the producer of honey.
Formerly | was altogether in favor of
Iight-colored workers. W. S. Barclay,
of Beaver, Pa, was, believe, the first
person who spoke to me advocating a
dark worker. did not give tie matter
much thought, however, until read Oh,
DadaDtS observations OF Italian bees
in Italy. Some time after this 1
ordeted an imported queen for dark
coloIed workers, and soon lost good
deal of my partiaiity for light-colored
workers. Still bred both long enough
to satisfy myself which was the most
profitable bee Tor me as a honey pro-

to choose the dark colored worker every
time. / saw queen and workers at W.

HydrOPh 0bia,
IN. Q. City Item, Feb. 6th.l


Yesterday morning at about lf-past
three o'clock, Cornelia Q. Lewis, colored,
aged ii years, died at her mothers resi-
from the effects of dog bite, received
over four months ago.
The child was only taken sick Satur-
day, and the events of her brief illness
will doubtless prove interesting.
On the day above IN mentioned, Cornelia
complained of feeling unwell, but was
not sick enough to take her bed. Later
in the day she attempted to drink some
water, but the instant the glass come in
contact with heriips she was thrown into
violent commissions. Recovering from
the attack, the child experienced but
little inconvenience, and with the excep-
ton of pain in her limbs, she was APP
parently quite we'll: 49,,
Her mother thinking that the child
was suffering with an attack OF vertigo,
applied the usual remedies and thought
no more of the matter. All during Sun
day il was found impossible for Corne-
liza to eat or drink, the very sight OF
Wafer throwing her into commissions !;
but after flie effects would pass off che
would be perfectly rational and could
explain all her SYMPTOMS.
With the usual superstition OF the
negro, the family thought the child was
youdoued, and was IN q state OF the
widest excitement.
DR.. P. B. McCutchen, of the Charity
Hospital, was sent for. AS soon as, the
Doctor arrived and examined the child
he inquired if she had ever been bitten
by a Jog, in reply he was informed that
in 6ctober last, while playing with q
small dog, Cornelia had been bitten OF
/, the great toe Of the left foot, but thai
she neve, suffered any from the effects
of the bite. The doctor called two
other physicians in consultation, and
| it was agreed that the childss life coul(
not be saved. as she was suffering from
