EdIcts Against Coal.

1t is said that when coal was first
used in England the prejudice against
it was SO strong that the house of COM
mons petitioned the king'to prohibit
the further use of the internal and
noxious fuel" A royal proclamation
having failed to abate the nuisance, a
commission was appointed to ascer-
tain who burned 'coles" within the
limits of the city of London; to punish
by branding for the first offense and
by demolition of the furnaces for the
second. Finally, when minor punish
ments had no effect, law was passed
making coal burning a capital effense.
In the records of the Old Tower there
is an account of a man who was hanged
there for no other crime than that of
using coal for fuel contrary TO royal
edict; this In the time OF Edward !.

A SPELLING BEE.

You say that you can spell, sir then be good
enough 10 tell, sir,
How you spell me parallel" sir "synthesis"
and "semaphore."
And perhaps you will try "ecstatic" and "syn.
catigorematic,"
"Homiletic" and 'bepatic," with an extra
dozen more.
Can you spell "chryselephantine," "periphras-
tic" and "Levantine,'
Or the simple 'adamantine," and the "poly.
syndetoni"
Can you tackle "anchylosis," can you spell
"anadiplosis,"
"Enthymeme," "hypotyposis'" If you can,
you're getting on
Such little words as 'grieving," "gallimaufry."
and 'deceiving,"
Oh, there's really no believing what mistakes
you sometimes see
"Pycnosty.e," ''paroxysmal, ""caryatides" and
''chrismal,"
Words like these, it's really dismal when
they're misspelt at "bee"
So you'd better learn "enclitc;" can you con-
Quer 'analy tic?'
With ''torentic" and ''mephitic." and 'pen-
themimeral" pause;
And there's 'prestidigitation," "homocercal,"
''cachina tion,"
Oh it's quite an education to learn ortho-
graphic laws!
Some long words anatomic have sound that 8
rather comic,
And for verses palindromc would be simply
most absurd.
There's the shorter "peroneus," and "palato-
pharyngeus,"
"Sterno-cledo- mas toideus;" could you choose
n simpler wordf
"Hydrostatic," "iridescent aroma tic" "adol-
escent"
"Enigmatic," "cvanescent:" tn se are easy
words you see
"Mandacution," 'inacaronfc," ''pCrtC lLtion." I"
"geoponic."
"Annuation," "antiphonic;" there's a merry

Travelling stones.

Moving stones are located In Long
pond, Me. On the easterly side of the
pond is cove which extends nearly q
hundred rods further east than the
general course of the shore. The bot
tom is clay and very shoal On the
bottom are stones of various sizes,
which, it is evident from various cir
cumstances, have an annual motion
toward the shore The proof of
this is the mark or track left behind
them, and the bodies of clay drivenshp
before them. Some of these stones
are two or three tons weight and
have left track of several rods, hav.
ing at least cart-load of clay before
them. The shore of this cove is lined
with these stones, which, it would
seem, have crawled OF !. of the water

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, aud that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflsmed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the EustaohiRn tube. When
this tube gets infsmed you have q rum
bling sound Of imperfect hearing, and when
10 is entirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
tion, hearing will be restored forever; nine
cases out OF ten are caused by oatarrh
which is nothing but an inhamed condition
Of the mucous surfaces.

users look upon the Keeley institute and
Dr.. Hibben as the agency through which
they have been restored to health and

Brief and to the Point.


the Peoples party journals and hand
them about among my neighbors, and
note one or two things which are becom-
ing more and more important for US
who wish to influence public thought, or
to propagate ideas OF any kind.
First, many writer's here in the east
who represent the old order Of thiDgs-
the democratic and republican order
have got into the way Of writing as if
people had nothing to do but to read
their ARTICLES. It takes them long
time to get ready TO say anything, and
the main quality Of their writing is q
dull, thin diffussness and proliXity. /
have been travelling in several states Of
our country recently, and have asked
nearly 300 men who take the New York
Tribune whether they read the great de-
bate on silver between Senator Stewart
and Mr.. Horr. Every one said no, and
most of them added, "There is too much
Of it," You western people may have
more time than we have, but east Of the
Hudson river nothing is read that is
long. We read paragraphs, if they say
something in a few words, and get done
with it and stop. There is very large
proportion Of the matter in most Of the
newspapers here In the east which is not
read by ssybody but the editors Of the
opposite party. The papers do not seem
to be made for the people to read, and
they do not read them, except the para
graphs and very short articles.
Second, il anybody wants to influence
the people here, he must wake up him
self, and must study the art Of brief,
clear statement. Nothing elaborate will
go. What cannot be said briefly and
clearly might as well be left unsaid. II
there is to be new movement Of import
snCe, it's pioneers and teachers will have
one mark, at lsaSt, BY which they can be
known. They viii say what they mean
in such fashion that busy men and
women-the common people-can read
and understand 1t.
There is a great deal Of heavy empti'
ness in eastern political writing, though
we have q few examples Of bright, in
cisive work in journalism, especially in
New York City. But the methods Of
writing which will beneeded for Peoples
party works, in this part Of the country
at least, will mark the beginning Of q
new era in writing for the peoples read
ing, and will produce something very
different from the matter that now fills
the editorial columns Of the democratic
and republican papers of New England.
If there is not q new departure in the
art Of expression, and in the direction Of
brief, clear statement, the new move
ment will not move very far.
Third, il there is any sign Of the decay
OF the old parties in New Englsnd, and
of the need Of new order Of things, it is
the loss of touch, and of the power OF di-
rect speech, between the old party
writer's and the mass Of the people. The
writer's are no longer really acquainted
with the people, nor with the contents
Of their minds, and what they write
sounds like a hazy speech against time,
transmitted through slong-distsnce tele-
phone. am very truly yours,
