A clever Young Harvard instructor
was once heard TO say, 81 really never

'Just as l. " answered clever woman,
quickly, never dare use feeble lest
spell it fee ble!" The lady was under
the impression that the word should he

A great and universal contempt is felt
for the person who misspells. But some
Of the wissst men and the best have had
the misfortune of being unable always
TO MAJ hal their letters correctly.
A Cambridge provision dealer tells of
receiving an order for salt "mackrel"
from II Harvard professor.
A bill made out by one of the leading
pedagogues of neighboring city CON
cluded with "ballanco due" Those who
know viii tell that the sermons of dis

kind
Goblet, in his y -tiumar, loved to give
instances Of bad spelling and uugram-
matical language in kings speeches The
Father of his Country had his own sys-
tenn of spelling and his wife had another
and very different one. A brilliant ac-

One of the beauties Of the subscription

female created, comes after You in your

most secret lair, demands your piece of
money or your peace Of mind Whereas,
If the book be one of real value and in

II is said that the best walters in the
world are Englislmen, but they do not

they are not, as u general rule, so fitted
for the task as foreigners English wait.

assume grave air and are as solemn as

pence for him whom could so well have

reason why prefer the brighter Swiss
as an occasional attendant. He is suited
to a restaurant which has plate glass and

leave an oak paneled room with rusty
armor high in the solemn shadows above

1.-THE PRACTICAL EDUCATION
FOR WOMEN"
Appealing to your most candid judg-

daughters in such manner that they can
earn a good, honest living by their own eff
forts. If such thing should become neces-
sary, for little do any Of US know what Is

lishment for any lady to be able to look at
Ter her own clothing aud see that 1t IS made
correctly and in becoming style, and there
is no education that prepares dny lady for
the responsibilities and duties of life equal
to knowing how TO construct her own
clothing properly,
Ii is only the second consideration con
corning this life's goods. The first is pre-
pairing our food properly and next is our
clothing, and this IS Of the highest import
ance to all, and might mean very much to
some of our readers. IL Is an attested fact
that the Cutting School is a harbinger OF
good wherever established, and the price
of the thorough course of instructions giY-
en- is merely nominal compared with its
great value which is clearly demonstrated
by the best Judgment of some that have
already been doing good work with it, and
