Defective Spelling.

1t is marvellous how many persons II ere
are who, reading every day and writing
very often, do not know how to spell a
great number of very common words. We
never knew how widespread was this de-
fciency until we came into the editors
chair. We get communications from all
sorts of people-from college-bred men and
women, and from those who never had
other than sold field school, advantages,
and the defect in spelling is found in both
classes. If We were TO print some COM
munications as they are written, we would
call down upon our head the fiercest tenn
pest of Indignation. 1t seems that people
who read much ought to learn how to
spell by the eye. Books and newspapers
thanks to the proofreader, with diction-
airy at his subsequently, have words
spelled correctly; and little practice of
the eye in looking at the spelling ought to
give correctness. Some excuse themselves
on the ground of inattention. They know
how, but they are so occupied with the
thought that the spelling is a minor con-
sideration. In answer to this it is suffi-
Gent to say; A thought worth putting
on paper is worthy of becoming dress.
OtHeTS say opeillng is natural gut,
and cannot be acquired by everybody"
A writer who has dictionary can learn
to spell any word in the English language
If writer has no dictionary let him buy
one before he writes again. We are in
clined to think that good deal of incor.
rect spelling is the result of carelessness
and carelessness in anything is unpardon.
able. These thoughts have come from the
fact that we received the other day a com.
munication from writer, who, for large
part of his life, has been teacher, and who
has been constant contributor to the pa.
pers, and yet using the word 'laity" quite a
number of times, every time it was spelled
wrong. If we had published it as written
the printer, proof-reader and editor would
have been pronounced "set of solemn
blockheads." We are not complaining, but
simply setting forth the curious fact that
many popular writers are deficient in or
biography. Far be it from us to complain
of the defects of others. We have toe
many of our own. Like Paul to the Cor.
inthians, we can sincerely say: 81 write

A Magical Table.

The simplest slight-of-hand illusions
often cause more wonderment than the
most complex or difficult ones, says w. Z.
Skinner in Yankee Blade. Professional
magicians often practice some intricately
skillful feat for weeks, and, after presenting
it to the public. it does not make as strong
an impression as many Of the very COM
monest or oldest ones
The trick with numbers, given below,
has been exhibited by well-known ma
gician by means of blackboard on the
stage, and has caused many person, with
scratch of the head, to wonder how the
willy necromancer could tell the amount OF
money in his pockets, his usual time for
rising in the morning, age, or even the
number of potatoes eaten at dinner. This
number table is merely a clever mathe-
NAUTICAL arrangement.
Request person to find in what col
umns his age is indicated. You can at
once then tell him what his age is. You
can tell any number under 60 by means OF
this arranpemeut of Numbers

Kinsdom-Its Classic Capital.
The little kingdom of Greece embraces
a territory of about $4,000 square miles,
and has population of a little more than
1000, 600 Greeks and Albanians. Scotland
has about the same territory and almost
twice as many people. Switzerland has a
third less territory and third more people.
Belgium and Holland taken together have
about the same territory as Greece and five
times as many people. As for wealth,
Greece is proverbially the poorest country
In Europe. Her rugged mountains and
barren shores are hardly fit in many places
for the scantiest vegetation; she has no
rivers with fertile banks; her commerce is
still undeveloped, and she is cut off from
Europe by the treacherous Adriatic and bv
the inhospitable strip of Turkish territory
that promises to keep her for an indefinite
future from opening her railway connection

Mice in the Piano.

A curious incident came under the no.
tice of the Middletown Conn., Press re-
porter, in Portland, the other day. A
gentleman owning fine piano that had
been recently tuned and placed in first
class order was somewhat surprised at the
peculiar tone of the instrument at times.
Occasionally the instrument would be in
perfect tune, and again every note struck
would send forth discord peculiarly IN
pleasant to the ear. 1t was finally decided
that the instrument had not been properly
tuned, and another tuner was sent for with
instructions TO place the piano in order.
After a careful examination he said the
piano was sadly out of tune, and that the
instrument would have TO be taken to
pieces. lie went to work with that idea
and had progressed but a while before the
cause OF the peculiar sounds was discov-
cred. In the open space back of the keys
were found nine mice of but few days
growth. They were comfortably ensconcsd
in nest prepared by a thoughtful mother.
The nest and mice were removed, and the
piano now goes better. 1t is mystery to
the owner how they came there, as the
piano is much in use and hardly ever left

The stomach Distiis Acids.

These, if existent in natural quantity,
and unvitated by bile, play their part in
the functions of digestion and assimilation.
But the artificial acid resulting from the
inability of the stomach To convert food re-
ceived by it into sustenance, is the pro-
Queer of fatulence and heartburn, which
are the most harrassing symptoms Of dys-
pepsia. The best carminative is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Far more effective is it
than carbonate of soda, magnesia or other
alkaline salts. These invariably weaken
the stomach without producing permanent
benefit. No man or woman chrouically
dyspeptic. and consequently nervous, can
be in possession of the full measure of
vigor allowed by nature. Therefore, in
vigorate and regulate the system, and by
so doing protect 1t from malaria, rheuma-
tism and other serious maladies.

A Stubborn Brute.

A Balliettsville (Pa.) dispatch to the
Philadelphia Inquirer says: A few days
ago there died in this place James Martin,
a well-todo farmer, who, harboring resent
ment toward his daughter of so bitter a
quality that he refused to speak to her for
fifty years, perpetuated his vindictiveness
after death by disinheriting her, although
he bequeathed property to her husband
and her children. A valentine was the
cause of his enstrangement, sent to him by
mistake, and he significantly and with
keen satire left that alone as his bequest
TO his daughter, carefully tied up in blue
ribbon.
When she was Is years of age he re-
fused to purchase new dress which she
wanted. She pouted, girl-like, and APP
peared afironted. Now it happened that
it was within day or two of Valentines
Day, and when that time came around her
father looked for the usual pleasant little
missiye that he was accustomed to receive
from his daughter. In Its place, however,
came q rough caricature of miser count
ing and gloating over his money. Mr..
Martin took the girl to task about it. The
daughter at once declared that she had
not sent the valentine to her father, but,
on the contrary, had mailed him very
complimentary one, entitled The Honest
Farmer"
With the evidence of the envelope in
her own handwriting, he became so en-
ragged at her adding falsehood to her orig
inal offense that he gave her no oppor-
tunity for further explanation, asserting
that she was no longer daughter of his,
and refusing ever to speak to her again.
And, after all, he had wronged her.
1t appears there lived in the neighbor.
hood real miser, who treated his niece
shamefully. The two girls were near
friends and bought their valentines at the
same store. Miss Martin addressed them
both, but somehow directed the wrong one
to her father. while the miser received the

tried to explain this to her husband, but
he would not be convinced and remained
stubborn. In due course of time the
daughter married and had several chill

but neyermore spoke to his daughter

The Deceptions of Spiritualism.

1t must not be supposed that the errors
of mal-description and lapse of memory
thus committed are at all serious in them
selves; on the contrary, they are mostly
such as would be entirely pardonable in
ordinary matters. Mr.. Hodgson places
them in four classes. In the first, the OBJ
server interpolates fact which really did
not happen, but which he was led to be-
lieve had occurred. He records that he
examined the slate, when he really did
not. Or, for similar causes, he substitutes
one statement for another closely like it !;
he says he examined the slate infinitely,
when he really only did so hastily.
Thirdly, he may transrose the order in
which the events happened, making the
examination of the slate occur at later
period than when it really took place.
Lastly, he may omit certain details which
he was carefully led to consider trivial, but
which really were most important. Such
slight lapses as these are sufficient to make
marvel of a clever piece of conjuring
add to this the increased temptations for
mal-observation afforded by the dim light
and mysterious surroundings of the
medium, as well as by the sympathetic at
titude of the.sitters, and the wide diverg-
ence between the miraculous narratives OF
spiritualists and the homely receptions
which they are intended to describe is nc
longer mystery.-Prof. Joseph Jastrow.

MONOCULTURE.
California's Great Advantage Over the
so-called Western states.

The great work done by the California
State Board of Trade is in its wide dis
tribution of the varied resources of the
State. For considerable time the orange
did all the advertising we had, and in
thousands of Eastern minds California was
fixed as place where living must be had
by orange culture. Later on the splendid
organization of one industry by the Cali
fornia Fruit Union enlarged somewhat our
resources, and we deposited :" fruit" upon
the Eastern mind as speciality, to which
our people looked for bread and bed and
board. Now, no matter how profitable or
how pleasant single pursuit may be- a
State is not helped in the long run by be-
ing considered within the limitations i'm
piled by monoculture. Vast areas east of
the Missouri river are by climatic condi-
tons confined to speciality farming. One
crop, or few crops of the same general
character, may be produced. If an IN
kindly season fall they fail If the
weather be favorable they are pro-
duced in such abundance as TO
gorge the market and make a slump
in prices; and yet these few crops must be
exchanged for the vast variety of domestic
articles required as comforts. necessities or
Injuries. The power TO apply human
effort to diversity of productions is the
influence which has produced civilization,
because it means the gainful investment OF
labor that produces more than is needed
for daily use, and this surplus goes into
satisfying those tastes which are beyond
bread and meat.
The soil and climate Of this State per-
NIT more noble uses of the farmer than are
possible anywhere else. Here is the natural
seat Of the highest farming, and the Board
of Trade has spread this fact further than
any other effort has succeeded in carry
ing it.
It's exhibition on wheels has been visited
by hundred of thousands in the East, and
they have seen the output of our State in
all its glorious variety Minerals, fruits,
grains and grasses, HERDS and roots, flowers
and foliage-all are in that exhibit con-
densed of course, but perfect epitome Of

For the RECORD UNION.
WAITING FOR ME.

When this earth shall fade from my view,
And my spirit shall seek its repose;
When my life, with its joys and sorrows, shall
find
Sweet heavenly rest at its cose;
Will loved ones, now waiting on yonder bright
shore,
Stretch forth their pale hands with delight,
And welcome my presence to part nevermore
In that beautiful land of light?
Will loved ones now waiting in that heavenly
home,
Come to greet me as cross deaths dark tide +?
viii an anthem OF joy by angels be sung
AS silent stand by their side?
Could know that such happiness awaited me
there,
would gladly lie down to my rest,
And bid earth adieu with its wearisome care
To dwell in the home OF the blest.
When in silence I slumber no more to awake
AT the call of the weeping friends near,
Will some loved one be waiting at Heaven s
gate
And bid me to enter without fear?
Tho the waves of the river are dark and cold
We must each cross the deep flowing tide,
And among the redeemed find a haven OF rest,
If from SIN we have been purified.
