A TERRIBLE cyclone visited section
of Missouri on Sunday evening, causing
great destruction of life and property.
The cyclone was 200 yards wide and
everything in its path was leveled.-
The village of Oronoga was leveled,
brick buildings being unable to withstand
the fury of the wind. A part of Macon
was demolished, farm houses being liter
ally torn to fragments. A great deal of
damage was also done through farming
ing lands. The condition of the demol
ished villagers is said to be terrible
Relief trains were sent out by the rail-
road company, bringing physicians and
nurses. The villages were mass of
ruins, with many dead bodies entangled'
in the debris In one house where were
II persons, not one escaped uninjured.

AND now comes man from Troy, the
home of Paddy Ryan and the worst wal
loPed base ball club of the league. and
asks that his name be changed from
Matthew I. Ryan to the more elegant
because less Milesian, Millington. He
does not set up IN his petition that the
name Ryan is too suggestive of Upper
airy, but that it has grown into unenvi-
able notoriety because of one Patrick
Ryan, more commonly known as paddy
Ryan. The retired slugger has, il
seems, copy right on the name, and
there is penalty attached to its use I'm
les the redoubtable Paddy gets royalty.
Matthew T. Ryan the must be known by
that name yeti says the name displaces
him from good society and injuries him
in business. Probably, if Matthew T.
would-be- Milliugton would give good
measure and use less sand in his sugar

THE following from The Wall Street
News exemplifes protection:
After the late civil war had been going
on for six or eight months, and every
body was going for a government con-
tract and riches, President Lincoln was
one day approached by little old man,
who introduced himself as the proprietor
of second hand clothing store Just
started in Washington.
"WelI, do you want colonel's COM
mission % asked old Abe.
"Not shust now; pellet I like a gov
eminent contract"
"Oats or hay ?"
ooh, no keeps some second hand
clothing"
"And what sort of contract can you
take ?"
"Vhell, 1 doan' exactly make dot oudt
myself, but I sells members of Congress
sheaper goats und vests und bants dan
any odder dealer in der peesness. 1 like
you to pass some law to make 'em puy OF

4 SINGULAR feature of school work is
that the knowledge gained is seldom
employed in the business of life. There
is complete separation between s'book-
learning" and affairs outside the school
room. The school room is too often re-
garded as a little world distinct in itself
having no relation to, or duties connect
ed With, the world where men act as their
necessities or impulses prompt.
There is. perhaps, no man who has a
better opportunity than an editor of per-
ceiving that lack of correlation between
education, technically considered, and
action in practical life. A mastery Of

overcome errors in the use of language

Tue editor of this paper is frequently
in receipt of letters for publication from
teachers whose educational standing
should be warrant that their "verbs
and nouns should most agree" but un-
fortunately they never reduce them to
practice, and they often make use of
local idioms that give their letters gro
tesqueness which would be humor if it
were not ignorance. Some of these per-
sons are very fair spoilers when list OF
words is given them for the purpose of
determining their ability to spell. But
photography has no practical application
aud like the christianized Sandwich ISL
ander who worships the ''only true God"
when in prosperity, but when adversely
strikes him, returns to the heather d.
yinity, the average teacher spells well in
formal test, but when it comes to the
use of words in written narration, the
spelling is as uncertain as the verdict of
petit jury. AS an instance we have a
letter now before us written for publica-
ton by one who in ''spelling match"
would do himself no discredit; but here
are samples from his letter. capitals

ness, appearance, envint, and many others.
It is not unusual to receive letters con-
tanning words of three or four syllables,
each syllable being capitalized, and the
words about, again, around, against,
beside, ETC., being each separated into
two words, thus: bout, a round, be
side, etc. Some ideas are represented by
certain sounds, the writer never having
stopped to separate the sounds into dis
tinct words, written representative of
the ideas, the most laughable compound
words. conglomerations and divisions
result.
Ask some of these persons to give rules
for capitalization and they are given fully.
Let them write one page of foolscap and
they completely ignore rules. Punctua
ton marks are unknown in practice and
one has to exercise ingenuity to make
sense out of the written page.
The cure for all this is to put in prac-
toe what is learned; otherwise it ia of no
value. A person not accustomed to
writing much should write with extreme
care until correct habits are formed and
then he may relax little.

THE pope has censured Archbishop
Croke for taking SO much interest in
Irish affairs. The patriotic Archbishop
replied that he had done nothing to en-
courage revolt, but has tried to secure
right aud justice for the people. Tie
pope does not want the British govern
ment annoyed and is going TO take steps
to prevent the clergy from giving any
further assistance to Parnell. Perhaps
Gladstone will now modify his opinion
of the danger to the English government
through the allegiance OF Catholics to
the papacy. The pope seems to be
England's friend.
