Spell " Puzzle"

Some of us think spelling is difficult
enough. even in these late days when
the path OF the learner is made smooth,
but it must have been very much worse
two generations ago. When our graLd.
fathers were asked to spell puzzle
they ratified off an unintelligible jun.
bic like this: 'P-U-bizzle-few-izzar
Puz: izzard-L-E -bizzle-teezle-P Puzzle"
This extraordinary way of spelling a
simple word is explained thus: P-U by
itself w. Puz; Z-L-E by itself E Zle,
Puzzle. ~ pronounced izzard.) It
seems that when vowel was not
doubled, it was always said to stand
''by itself" and was then repeated
thus, Z r. itself U; and ''by itself"
when spoken rapidly was contracted
into ''bizzle." lizard is the old name
for the letter Z.-Harper's Young Poo
pie.

Such a thing as cowardice is unknown
among them. They are ready for a
fight at a moments notice, and they
can stand the cold steel and grape and
canister longer than any white troops
was ever opposed to. They are fanat-
les to the last drop of blood, and when
an enemy fully believes that death on
the battlefield means eternal praise
for his name and eternal rest for his
soul, he becomes doubly dangerous.
In the march to Cabul, which won
laurels for the British arms only that
they might be covered with the dis
grace of bad diplomacy, we found the
Afghan on his own soil and on battle
fields of his own selection, and, though
we could drive him in every instance.
each victory cost us some of the best
blood in the English army.
One of our outposts, as the column
was encamped in the Coota valley to
recruit its strength and bring up sup
plies, was nine miles to the north.
where it covered strategic point. A
detachment of one hundred men was
kept there for fifteen days, being re-
Geved every five days, and l went out
