In order thoroughly to realize our
selves, we must be conscious OF our alb
sorption, or at least of our inclusion, IN
a greater and grander system than that
of our individual surroundings; IN order
to find our lives, we must first discover
the art of losing them.

however, of en-
phonetic alphabet, in which each letter
would have but one sound, and each
sound be represented by one letter
only, the effort is now directed toward
the adoption of few definite, easily
learned, and generally applicable
rules for the dropping of supertluous
letters. The rules suggested are as
follows:
l. Drop ne at tho end of words like dia-
logue. catalogue, etc, whore the preceding
vowelis short. Thus spell demagog. epilog,
synagog. etc. When the preceding vowel
is long, as in prorogue. vogue, disembogue,
retain final letters as at present.
q Drop final in such words as definite.
infinite, lavorlte, etc, when the preceding
vowel Is short Thus spell oppost. pre-
TORT. hypocrit, requisit. etc. Whom tho
preceding vowel is long, as in polite. finite,
unite. etc.. retain present forms UNCHANGED.
j. Drop final te in words like Quartettc.
coquette. cigarette. etc Thus spell cigarct.
roset epaulet, vedet, gazet. etc.
T. Drop final me in words like pro-
eramme. Thus spell program. orilam.
gram. etc.
5. Change phi to + in words like phantom.
telegraph phase, etc. Thus spell alfabet,
paragraf. filosofy. fotograf, etc.
O substitute 4 lOF INC ulpuIHOnRS ~ ana
9 whom they have the sound of that letter.
Thus spell eolian. esthetic. darrhea. sub
pena. esofagus. atheneum. etc.
These rules, though few in number,
would, if adopted in our writing and
printing, save an appreciable percent
age OF the labor now involved. They
have the sanction of the highest schol-
arship in the United States and En-
gland, including the teachers of phi
lology lin our foremost educational
institutions. They have been com
mended by leading editors and writers,
and there is nothing against their
adoption except the disinclination to
change. Yet their use would in few
months become so habitual that every
one would wonder why they had not
been adopted sooner.
1t is proposed that these rules shall
be adopted in the newspapers of the
country at an early date, when the
eyes of reading people would soon be
come educated to the new appearance
of the words, and whence their use
would quickly extend to our books.
;his would be in the direction of the
injunction of Noah Webster, that "the
tendency of our language toward sim
plicity should be sedulously encour-
aged" The sooner they are adopted
the better.-C hicago Ledger.
That which is easy to do, though it
may be worth doing, is not SO impor-
tant as that which is hard and dis
agreeable, and which. therefore, finds
fewer workers.

How Not To Do 1t.

How often the mistake is made OF
assuming that man is competent and
grasps the responsibilities of a position
simply because some accident or lucky
combination of events for him has
placed him in it. Artemus Ward used
to speak of the right men in the wrong
places" 1t is not at all uncommon to
meet men with no natural or ac-
CURED fitness for the places they are
in. Men everywhere, especially in
political life, are intrusted with work
which requires expert knowledge to
attend to properly, and this class of
Ignorance is very costly. Ignorance is
the costliest human luxury, but it is
always in demand. It seems a simple
principle that surgeon ought to be
called upon to amputate a limb, a
lawyer to draw contract, but in the
common affairs of everyday work the
lawyer prescribes for the sick and the
minister amputates the arm. America is
that kind of paradise where men are
oftener than otherwise set to doing
work for which they have no natural
or acquired ability. altman Journal

A Monster Piece OF Granite.

Vinalhaven, Me-, claims to have pro.
duced the largest stone ever brought to
light. The Bodwell Granite Company

which is the largest piece of stone ever
quarried anywhere, and, if erected, will
be the highest, largest, and heaviest

be found. In height it considerably
exceeds any of the Egyptian obelisks.

from Heliopolis to Alexandria by En-
peror Constantine, and afterward taken
to Rome, where it is still standing, is
