Smelling.

1t is marvellous. says the New Or
leans Christian AdU0cdte, how many
persons there are who, reading every
day and writing very often, do not
know how to spell a great numper OF
very common words. We never knew
how widespread was this deficiency
until we came into the editors chalr.
We get communications from all sorts
of people-from college-bred men anG
women and from those W Tho never had
other than "old field school' auVan-
tages. and the defect in spelling is
foHnd in both classes. If we were to
print some communications as they
are written, we would call down upon
our heard the tiercest tempest OF mag
nation. 1t seems that people VINO
read much ought to learn how TO spell
by the eve. Books and newspapers
thanks to the proof-reader, with dc
tionary at his side-generally nave
words spelled correctly; and a little
practice of the eye in looking at tne
spelling ought to give correctness;
Some excuse themselves on the ground
of inattention. They know how, but
thew are so occupied with the thought
that the spelling is minor considera,
ton. In answer to this, it is sufficient
to say: A thought worth putting on
paper is worthy of a becoming dress
Others say, Spelling is a natural gift,
and cannot be acquired by everybody"
A writer who has a dictionary can
learn to spell any word in the English
language. If writer has no dictlon'
ary, let him buy one before he writes
again. We are inclined to think that
a good deal of incorrect spelling IS the
result of carelessness and carelessness
in anything is unpardonable.. These
thoughts have come from the fact thai
we received the other day a communl'
cation from writer who, for large
part of his life, has been a teacher, ano
who has been a constant contributor
to the papers, and yet using the wore
''laity'' quite number of times, every
time it was spelled wrong. If we hao
published it as written, the printer
proof-reader and editor would have
been pronounced a "set OF solemn
blockheads." We lare not complain
ing, but simply setting forth the curl
GUS feet that many popular writer's arc
deficient in photography.

How my heart glows with a warm,
sympathetic feeling for those true.
hearted, noble women who are loyal
wives, and who know that if John"
does fail in his duty once in a while,
he is only waiting for chance to re-
pay all tenderness and forbearance in
a ten-fold ratio. All honor to those
who can suffer in silence, if need be,
and yet are strong to do the right
bravely, and so raise their husbands
and all who come in contact with
them to a more elevated plane OF
thought and action.
Crowds are honest. If you compli.
ment an individual man to his face
he'll pretend that he does not like it;
but tell an audience that it is with un.
speakable pleasure that you appear be-
fore such a fine-looking, intelligent
body of men, and you will be applaud
ed to the echo.
The whole secret of good manners is
to 'do unto others as you would tha,
they should do unto YOU"
Every age confutes old errors and be
gets new.

Mr., Moody told the. young men at
his Northfield meetings that they
must learn how to make everybody in
the audience listen. He said that
when preaching in England a youneg,
+. man Just in front of him began to Leaf
q hymn book. 1t greatly annoyed
him. and felt that he could not 60
on with the sermon while the man
was going through the look, leaf by
leaf.- So he said: "When l was in
America, q man in the audience who
was Just about the age of this man in
front of me who is leafing the hymn
book" That was enough. The
book was instantly closed, and the
man was one of the first to 60 into the
inauiry-room. People thoughtlessly
do many things in church which are
annoying to the preacher and to the
audience. Little children would no!
usually make any trouble in church II
it were not for the parents who devote
their entire attention to them. Put a
little child down between father and
mother, and let them watch it and
pick at it from both sides, and it is
more than most preachers and congre-
cations can endure.
SLAMMING DooRs.-One of the rud-
est habits of ill-bred and thoughtless
persons is that Of slamming doors.
Once I called with friend upon Il
sick person whose nerves had become
so painfully acute through suffering
that n ise tortured her. A screen door
opened from her room to the hall, and
as callers or members of the family
passed in or out, quick, sharp slam OF
the door followed close on their egress
or ingress. The torture of the noise
sent spasm of pain across the sick
woman's face. but she bore it uncom.
plainingly, thinking it more endurable
than flies and mosquitoes, and no one
had noticed or thought to lessen this
annoyance, until my friends kind
heart and quick eye prompted and
planned remedy. She called for
lacks, and cotton batting, and making
firm little cushions of the batting, she
tackled them up and down the casing
where the door would strike, and the
sharp m-bang was instantly soften
cd as the door swung to. The grateful
language and glance of the sick wo-
man made me wish that ], too, had
eyes that could see ways to be helpful
towards others.

Good advice and sound wisdom are
none the less acceptable when they
come from an unknown source. The
following bit of wholesome literature
we take from an exchange which
knows nothing more about the author
than that he is somebody who is
worth listening to-" Having entered
a pew, move along; do not block up
the end of the pew, as if you did not
intend to have anybody enter it, or as
if you were holding it for expected
friends. Do not rise to let others in,
but move along, and leave the pew in
vitingly open, so that they will know
they are welcome. If pew holding
six has five already in it, do not file
out in formal procession to let one
poor, scared woman 60 to the farther
end, but move along, and let her sit at
the end neXt.the aisle 1t is not neces,
sary now for stalwart man to sit at
the end, ready to push out and kill In

1 wish to say to my patrons and the
public that have associated DR.. A. G.
Lucas with me in the lola Infirmary.
DR.. Lucas is q reg ular graduate in
medicine and comes to us highly rec
ommendod by the profession and the
press. where he has done business for
many years. We trust the public will
not be influenced by blind prejudice,
but will investigate for themselves the
merits of our Infirmary before going,
or advising others to 60 to other places
where the expense will be much more
and the treatment no better. A mean
and unjust insinuation is vile island
er, and if you should hear such. please
investigate before repeating it yourself.
The many cases successfully treated
at the Infirmary in the past five years
ought to satisfy the most incredulous.
