COMPLETELY OSSIFIED.
The Condition of Man Who Has Been
Bedridden for Thirty Years.

On bed in the second story of a museum
on the Bowery, saws the New York Hail and
Express, lies a creature truly wonderful To
look upon. 1t is a man-yet a man bereft of
all power of motion. Every Joint In his
body, without a single exception. has be-
come hardened, and presenting to the be-
holder form completely ossified The man
IS Jonathan II. Bass. He has laid on his
back on the same bed for the past thirty
years. he IS one continuous bone from head

but he Is the victim of disease which hiss
not only proved unique in it's kind, but has
oafied the skill Of the most eminent physi-
clans who have either treated hlm during
the incipiency of the disease or who have
seen him since he has been in the state in
which he is now. The disease, which in
reality has no name, came on when he was
boy OF seventeen. He was then living in
Dockport- y. Y, where he was born in iS31

Shortly thereafter the left foot became af-
fected In like manner. Up to this time
Bass had been an unusually strong lad. and
his feats Of lifting great weights were a
marvel to the community. The doctors who
were consulted gave it as their opinion that
the disease was infammstory rheumatism,

But the disease crept up both legs, gradual

1t was nine years before the body was en-
tirely ossified as at present. and during this
time Bass attended school. completing "A
term both at the high school OF his native
place and commercial college. He is IN

there were three bears, ali OF them dead;
but you shQuld have seen the mess things
were IN. There wasn't bed-quilt in the
lot big enough to cover old Caesar, the
bears having torn them to pieces. Besides
this they had knocked and banged almost
every thing else into smithereens. We had
to make the best of it, though. and SO we
went to work and skinned and dressed the
bears and the doe, which l brought in, and
hung them upon the trees. We then got
our supper and went to bed in the wagon
after building up big fire. In two or three
days we had built our first cabin and moved
IN. We then built log stable for our
horses next, and then began TO feel safe.
but it was long time before mother could
bear to hear any thing said about our first
day in this camp

SCIENCE OF SPELLING.
An Alphabet and System Made
for Young Children.
A Table of Classification Explaining tho
MethOd-Rules for Spelling and Pro-
nunciation-FourR Rules and What
They Produce.

Alphabets must be made for children
for young children-writes Mr.. Charles A.
Story, of Chicago, author of the Science
of Spelling. Systems of spelling must be
made for young children; because young
children must learn them. The tools must
be adapted to the little hands that use them.
S mall children must learn to spell small
words first-little words of one syllable.
This is the dictate of common sense.
The said small words must be arranged
into classes, or groups, so that when a little
child has learned how TO spell dozen words
of one class, he can spell all the rest Of that
Class in the Sdnae aody; and the rules given to
the child for him to use in spelling one pord,
must apply to al he scor1s of the same class.
This is science.
If we let aught (O) represent any vowel,
and ex tX) represent any consonant, the
following table of classification will be
readily understood. 1t furnishes formula,
or pattern,or example, for spelling all the
words of one syllable spoken by man, and
the number of letters used in each word, of
every class, and the number OF English
words belonging to each class:
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1888-01-18
ABLE OF CLASSIFICATION.
Total English words spened - 5 AGO


The foregoing totals include the plurals
of the nouns, and the present tense and
past participles of the verbs, as well as the
original words.
But before this table of formulas, or pat
terms, can be used by the children in spell
ing, science commands that the adB,es of all
the letters must be brought into harmony
with Nature, so that the spelling may be
done with the regularity and precision of
machinery in motion. Science aud Nature
dictate the following four rules-one for
naming vowels, one for naming consonants,
one about silent letters and one for spelling:
TABLE OF RULES.
Rule 1.-The sound of any vowel is the
name of that vowel
Rule 2-The sound of any consonant fol-
lowed by e, as III me, is the Rdnte of that
consonant.
Rule 3-Never use any silent letters
Rule 4-NdDle each letter in the word,
and then pronounce the word
Let the reader become a speller, and ap-
ply the four rules above to a few words of
the sixth class. Our formula, or pattern. is
xox, which means that the first letter is a
consonant, followed by vowel, and then
another conSonant-three letters in the
word, and no more, with the vowel in the
middle.
The new spelling, produced by these rules,
will be found under the head of Science. and
the old spelling under the head of Chaos:

TATERs AND PossuM FOR TWO.

Old Brown and his wife had gone to bed
A put-up Job OF Sues;
And the way look'd smooth to young Jim

Though he Dlushed way down in his shoes
The moments fed. and glided on,
The pine knot blaze grew dim,
good half hour was lost and gone
But rot word spoke jim.
Instead Of that he silently swore,
Not o. Sue, WHO had the cha ?,
But az himself who had the door;
And then he pulled his hair.
At last, but slowly, the words were spoken:
Il wuz feelin' pow'ful weak

At this. the eyes Of Susan Browa
Began % fssh with pleasure;
She felt that she had got him down,
And could finish him ~ her leisure
"An row yer feel leetel peorter,"
She quietly suggested;
"SPose yer hist an move ~ near ter

''No, thanky," said Jim; '-yye 'uus at home

And wished he'd go his way.

OF the world w5ich i SAID to dearly love

a certain poetic Boston BENEDICT now

There is man in the Kansas penitentiary
who has followed Greeley's advice, al
though he took longer time and more
tortuous route than the great editor ever
anticipated. As a boy he served term in
the New York reform school. He then
went to Sing Sing for two years for steal
ing, Not liking this fare he went to Harris
burg, Pa. where he was soon cared for and
sent TO the Pennsylvania penitentiary. He
then served terms successfully in the Ohio
penitentiary, the Michigan States prison
and the Southern Indiana penitentiary,
from which last named place he naturally
drifted into tho Joliet prison Of Illinois,
serving his time, and then he came to Kan
sas, where his industry was soon rewarded
by sentence TO the Kansas penitentiary,
where he is now digging coal for the State.

The writer has instructed little children,
five or six years old, SO that after thirty
minutes, they were able to spell, correctly,
all the words of this class, amounting to
l,140, as fast as he could pronounce the
words for them to spell. There are about
1000 or l,100 of these words in each and all
of the most cultivated modern languages.
and they are al spelled Ia the same ray
Now let the reader apply the same four
rules, and spell, in the same way, a few
words of the tenth class. Our formula. or
pattern, is xoxx, which means that there
are four letters in each word, and that there
is one consonant before the vowel, and two
consonants after the vowel
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1888-01-18

In like manner the remainder of The 1.640
words of the tenth class are spelled. Chill
dren six or seven years old have learned to
spell all the words in this class after thirty
minutes instruction. and even able to spell
them as rapidly as they were pronounced
There are from 800 to 1.eO0 words of this
class, IN each and ali of the most cultivated
modern languages. Little children can
spell them aIl-English and foreign, prompt
ly and correctly, after AN hours practice.
The same four rules apply to ali of the six
teen classes Of words. This science viii
