often wrongly as rightly, and what is
worse, there seems to be no cure for
such mistakes
Here is a final case. with a slight
tinge of romance to it. A college-bred
man, graduate with honors, addressed
a young lady, and was referred to the

accordingly the young man wrote a

father, highly educated man. and
somewhat Of a purist, was shocked
with several bad blunders of spelling
in the letter. and he so informed his
daughter. Whether it was excitement,
or what not, could not be determined,
but the consequences to the suitor were
likely to be distressing. Subsequent
correspondence showed that the posi-

man, and matters were arranged. But
from an ''e'' out of place and a double

up an Isle" with ''cei," the fortunes
of two young people came near being
shipwrecked.
AFTER all, spelling is a mechanical
rather than mental process" say

Several years ago was at certain
railroad station in Vermont when the
track had just been completed and &
lot of ''embattled farmers" with their
wives and children, were given free
ride, which was to some, at least, their
first journey by rail. Their appearance
and more especially their customs and
habits of speech l shall never forget.
One old lord of the soil accosted an
elderly lady maiden with: wal, wal.
how be you? and how's Eben?" ''Oh,
we're WELL" was the reply. .'Got
done hayin'?" was the next question.
''Oh, yes" said the old lady, 1--WE got
done haydn last week and we've been
gaddin' ever since (Which being inter-
preted meant visiting), / tell Eben
we'd better CAD now till his oats is
ripe" ..Wal," said the man, you'd
better come up to our place and CAD a
spell. My folks would be awful glad.
Come up an CAD with u.s." ''Oh. !"

DOG-LOviNG CITIES.
A Classical Town Which Spends About
$4,000 De- Year for Dog Collars

Classical Town Which Spends About
$4,000 per Year for Dog Collars.
Boston, as before remarked, is par
excellence the city for dogs, it being
said that 4 dog of any pure breed
whatever will easily bring $50 to 800,
while in dog collars Boston spends
$4,000. New York can not show
such figures San Francisco is now
spending $4,000 in dog collars and IL
is estimated that within the next five
years this city will more than double
that amount. Philadelphia stands

simply overrun with dogs-curs and
good dogs-and the peculiarly of the
townspeople of Minneapolis is that
they all want their dogs collared. Chi
cago, too, shows well. spending great
deal of money in dogs and on their
collars. The undetermined St. Louis
is spoken of in disparaging terms.
The people of St. Louis are 10th TO
part with dollars for dogs and much
less so for collars, while Denver, for
its small size. is mentioned in terms of
respectful admiration. Kansas City,
Mo, is liberal in purchase. and it is
expected that within few years there
will be larger purchases there than in
st. Louis. The cities which spend
most in dogs and dog-collars are in
this order: Boston, Philadelphia, New
York. Chicago, San Francisco, St
