ONE of the most sickening results Of
the prevailing anglo-mania is the
habit of hyphenating the names OF
fashionable resorts. There is no es-
pecial objection to the use OF this de-
vice in the naming OF any of the
numerous mushroom places OF this
class, but it is really too bad to see a
town with such dignified and purely
American history as has West Point,
advertised as West Point on-the- Hnd-

An Injustice Done to Many Young Women
by Otherwise Good Fathers.
While so many wives are still in bond
age to a husbands purse-strings, it is
perhaps idle to plead for freedom for
the daughters. But is not certain in
justice in money matters done most
girls who, after twenty-one, remain I'm a
fathers house? 1t is so hard for The
fathers to realize that the girls are
grown up. and that dependence, even
on one who loves you, has its trials.
Many girl feels keenly this bondage,
especially if, as often happens, she must
in asking tell for what she wants the
money, thus subiecting her desires TO
another's Judgment Indulgence and
justice are very different things; and in
money matters all women of sense pre-
fer the latter. A fair recognition of
claims is dearer to them than thought
less and spasmodic generosity, and the
trust involved is the sweetest cOmpli-
ment to their good sense.
Give her, then, some money of her
very own, not more than you spend on
her now, perhaps not so much at first,
since one must provide for the chance
of her spending foolishlv and needing
to be helped out of the consequences. A
little bank account; perhaps later a
small piece of property given to her to
manage, whose profits shall be her al
lowance-to many girl that would be
the sweetest proof of a fathers love.
When one thinks of women of TWEEN

it-and that, sometimes, against a par
ents wish-who are as ignorant as
children of all business ways, who ali
their lives will be in dependence on
some tried and trying relative because
of this ignorance-it seems at once a
pity and a shame. For there is an in
tellectual discipline in learning judi
cious spending. Some one calls it a final
test of character. But character does
not come in day, and experience often
charges poor women high rates for her
lessons. For ten who can earn there

How Their Fame Was Spread from One

the fifth or sixth century before Christ.

why they are so called?
Their names have been variOusly
given, but those most generally ac-

Nothing impossible to industry"

''Suretyship is the precursor of ruin"
(Thalesl. We fear Bias could not have
been a very good man himself, or
he would never have chosen such
motto. The reason why these
men were called wise is variously given
by different authors, but, according
to an article in the Pansy, the most APP
proved account tells us that as some
Coans were fishing strangers from
Melitus bought what was in the net
without seeing it. When the nets were
brought in they contained golden
tripod which Helen was supposed to
have thrown there.
A dispute arose between the fisher
men and the strangers as to whom it be-
forged. As they could not agree, they
took it to the Temple of Apollo and
consulted the priestess, who said it
must be given TO the wisest man in
Greece. 1t was accordingly sent to
Scion, who declared that Chilo was
wiser, and sent it to him. Chilo sent it
to another one, and so on until it had
passed through the hands of all the men
distinguished afterwards as the Seven
Wise Men" Each one claiming that
the other was wiser than he, the tripod
was finally sent to the Temple of
Apollo, where it long remained to teach
the lesson that the wisest are the most
distrustful of their wisdom. christian

A FREQUENT FAILING.

Misspell Simple Words.

Statesmen, Professors ana Others Who
Misspell simple Words.
A clever young Harvard instructor
was once heard to say: II really never
dare correct students misspelling till
| have looked into the dictionary"
"Just as l." answered a clever woman
quickly, ''never dare use feeble lest
spell it fe-e-ble" The lady was under
.he impression that the word should be
spelled 'feable." great and uni
versal contempt is felt for the person
who misspells. But some of the wisest
men and the best have had the misfort-
une of being unable to always marshal
their letters correctly. A Cambridge
provision dealer tells of receiving an
order for salt ''mackrel' from Harvard
professor.
A bill made out by one of the leading
pedagogues of neighboring city con-
cluded with 'ballance due" Those
who know will tell that the sermons of
distinguished clergymen sent up for
printing frequently abound in errors Of
this kind. Cobbett, in his grammar,
loved to give instances of bad spelling
and ungrammatical language in Kings
speeches The father of his country
had his own system of spelling, and his
wife had another and very different one.
A brilliant actress, whom we all adj
mire, invariably spells Tuesday Teus-
day. Napoleon was not a correct speller,
and the Iron Duke slipped often. The
misfortune is often an inherited one,
and whole families unto their remotest
branches and twigs will show the same
weakness.

''would you marry woman who spelt
affection with one {? Why not woman
as well as a man? II correct spelling
