IMPROVEMENTS IN ENGLISH.
Suggestions About Words That MAJ BE
Improved by Simpler Spelling.

Suggestions About Words That May Be
Improved by simpler Spelling.
We need not go the length of the fam
atics Of phoneticism (who would spell
wife yf, knee nee, and write eve in the
same manner as the personal pronoun y
to desire a change in the spelling of many
English words which are a stumbling
block to foreigners as well as to natives.
The instances of plough" though"
I" enough" borough" cough"
dough" fought" in which seven words
the letters ought to have seven different
sounds, are more thar sufficient t o prove
that a reformation in spelling is highly
desirable, and that plough out to be writ
ten and printed pillow; through, thru or
throo; enough, enuf; borough, burrow or
burro; cough, cawf; dough, doe, and
ought, aut or ort with the T quiescent.
In like manner the verb ito do" ought
to be written 'to du" or "to doo,'' and
the past tense of ito read" ought not to
be spelled in exactly the same manner as
the present tense of the same verb; but
l did read pronounced l redd) should be
written Theoretically; and / did eat pro
nounced / EFT, or / ate) should follow
the same rule. Why the double | should
necessarily be employed in the words
spell, well, bell, smell, fell, and many
others, while one | is considered suffi-
cient in rebel, propel, excel, repel, expel,
etc, is not apparent to ordinary intelli-
gence, or applicable by any pathological
and chronological reasons.
Why English writers, takers and
printers should persist in ignoring the
past lenses of so many verbs in daily use
passes comprehension, SO needless and SO
anomalous is the lazy and incorrect
habit into which some good writers, as
well as the vulgar, have permitted them
selves to fall. 81 bid him do it now" is
correct, but Il bid him do it yesterday"
in which the present tense is used in
stead of babe in the past, is an indefens-
ible corruption. Among the verbs which
have been deprived of their past lenses
and their preterites may be specified to
bet, to beat, to let, to spread, to shed, to
cut; to put and to shut.
There are no grammatical or any
other reasons why they should not have
been among the verbs which nave infiec-
tions in other languages, but never had
in English, though they ought to have
had if intelligent grammarians had had
the original ordering of the language.
Can and "must" nave not even the in
fnitive ''to can and ''to must" Can
has a past tense ~('could'), but no future,
which can only be rendered by the para
phrase 81 shall be able" or sit will be in
my power" 'Must" has neither a past
nor a future-'I must do it today has
to be put into the past tense by the
roundabout locution, 81 was obliged to
do it" or ut was necessary that l should
do it," while the future of the verb fall
loir, which, in the corresponding case,
in the more precise language of the
French, is il faut, becoming il faudra in
the%f future, is in English only to be ex-
pressed by a paraphrase, expressive both
of compulsion and obligation in futurity.

can learn this circular has not been dis
tributed.
In an interview in the Sun which some
nincompoop is alleged to have had with
Col. Miner the latter is represented as
having said: Mr.. Carroll has frequ entity
enjoyed the inequalities of my house and
has shown gross ingratitude in his treat
ment OF me in this affair. When this ar
ticle appeared l requested Mr.. Carroll to
correct it or publish my statement. This
he refused to do. | then asked him who
the author of the article was, bot could
not learn his name"
Mr.. Carroll has never accepted or en-
joyed the hospitalities of Col. Miner
house and therefore canno be accused of
ingratitude, whether gross or otherwise.
Col. Miners side of the story IF he had
any side to begin with WAS published IN
THE LEADER as first quoted above and
therefore there was no refusal to publish
his statement. Neither Col. Miner nor
any other individual has ever requested
the authorship of the article in question.
Therefore Col. Miner has either DELHI
erately falsified the plain facts or he has
been grossly misrepresented by the Sun
nincompoop who interviewed him.

The cuts printed in some of the news
papers and labeled "B. p. Hutchinson
were made from sketches taken on the
run. Not one of them does him justice,
while some of them are little less than
c~aricatures. The sketches, l dare say,
were made when he was hurrying in his
business or when he was annoyed. Mr..
Hutchinson has no photograph of himself.
Whether he ever had one made or not !
do not know. But have it from his own
lips that he hasn't a photograph, or a
painting, or a picture of any kind of him
self in existence. A gentleman asked him
n day when they were at lunch if he
had never had a picture taken when he
was a boy. Mr.. Hutchinson's reply was:
when l was n boy l had no time for n
foOlishness of that sort. Chicago Times.

A new white pitch for shipbuilders
has been introduced, which, it is claimed,
supersedes the present la~borious, expen-
sive and inefficient method of white deck
seams by working putty into the seams
with a knife. The popularity of the
white pitch is that it is the only material
hitherto introduced of a white color that
can be run into deck seams in a hot state
like ordinary pitch. The material is es-
pecially suitable for hot climates, as it
will stand a sun heat which would cause
ordinary pitch to melt out of the seams.

Four years ago Frederick Ayres, of
Racine, Wis, became infatuated with
the lady who is now his wife, but she
preferred some one else. He made way
for her more favored sutton. A few days
after her engagement she became i'll and
grew worse rapidly. 1t was finally de-
cided hat the only thing that could save
her was the TRANSMISSION of blood. Her
favored sutton was sorry, but he thought
he needed all the blood he had in his
system. Ayres offered himself, and the
operation was performed with successful
results. The engagement was broken,
and six months afterward Ayres married
the woman.-Chicago Times.

New York, March 26.-The Jury in
the superior court today gave Rev. DR..
Rylance a verdict for $40, 900 against
Nicholas Quackenboss for alleged libel.
The Judge told the Jury it was certainly a
clear case of malicious libel and the only
question for them to decide was the
amount OF damages, The court gave the
plaintiffs counsel an entra allowance of
$4,000. DR.. Rylance Is the pastor of a
fashionable Episcopal church. During
his absence in Europe last summer GER
tam slauderous stories were circulated
about him and on his return a faction,
headed by Quackenhoss, demanded his
resignation. He refused and brought

their honest duty to caution the public gen.
orally and those who may be suffering Tom
loss of manhoodo or any form OF nervous dir
eases in particular, against the numerous I'M
country who are passing themselves off upoh
the people as experienced specialists to sex
ual disorders, whereas they are generally
frauds who possess nothing but a legal d.
ploma to keep them out of prison for their
fearful medical malpractices.
We have had hundreds of patients who
after being most shamefully robbed by these
medical pirates and their disorders greatly ag-
gravated and their lives endangered, have
come to US in despair and to be cured only
with great difficulty.
than a plausible advertisement and a bogus
testimonial to really cure this class OF dis
cases and only a physician specially fitted

treating them successfully.
Many receive a mere temporary relief al
the hands of these medical shams to find out
70 their sorrow shat they are GETTING worse
than ever; that instead of being cured they
have been spending valuable TIME
MONEY in vain. After seeing that they have
most hopeless condition imaginable.
Come at once, don't delay. Avoid these
shams. and thus save your time, your health
and your MONEY. Make your case known TO
us and you shall have the full benefit OF our
scientific advice, based upon a long medical

There are no extra charges and disappoint-

valuable medical discoveries enable them to
cure many HOPELESS cases, where all others

1t has been noticed by nearly every
n that for every two men who say
coffee keeps them awake o nights there
is one man who drinks it late at night,
and takes it to allay nervousness and
headaches. This is due to a difference,
not in the men, but in the coffee. In
chickory is added to the coffee to give
it a rich color. 1t is this chicory that
destroys mems nerves. The average
s~rsISSaaack coffee" even in stylish restau-
Tiffrs, IS ryuarTv lad OF the German
prepared katie ~essen2,' which is all
chickory. Pure coffee does not look Sc
black and rich, but it leaves the nerves

Naming a race horse in New Zealand
was made the occasion of a grand cere-
mony lately in the Otago district. The
owner invited many guests to assemble
in the dining hall Of a neighboring no.
tel, and the colt was ridden into the no.
tel, where a little child named the bud
ding racer, pouring champagne over its
head, while the assembly cheered voci-
f~erously. The colt, however, objected
to the proceedings. He plunged about
so that he upset the table, scattered all
the preparations for the feast and gave
a severe kick in the face to one Of the
chief guests.

A wife who knows many wives says:
Some husbands, when they get homo
at night, tell their wives all about the
business OF the day, and about their
hank account, and about the people
they met, and about what was spoken
Of, and about everything else. Other
husbands never tell their wives about
their doings during the day, never
speak of their finances, and never refer
to their business in their households.
The wife of such a husband knows
nothing of his affairs, and is apt to be
upset by bad news or crushed by finding
out that he is on the road 20 ruin.
From what I have known through my
acquaintance with many families for
long years, I'm ready to say hat a
husband should always tell his wife
about his business and about the affairs

The increase in wine drinking and
the fact that many men drink wine to-
day who formerly drank whisky, COM
bined with the enormous consumption
of beer, mas reduced the number of de-

a Cincinnati Enquirer reporter, when
twenty years ago ! had an average Of
half a dozen cases Of delirium tremeus
to treat every week. Now / do not
have one a month. Men drink more
beer and wine these days, which is one
OF the causes of the decrease of the
number Of cases OF d.. :. Another cause"
