Woes of the Exchange Editor.

The life of the exchange editor be-
comes monotonous in the course of
years; it has been said of him that he
degenerates into machine, and per-
haps he wouldn't deny it; but the ex-
change editor is nevertheless a human
being, and he has emotions OCCASION
ally, just like other people. He is ca
pable of harboring an intense and un-
dying hatred, for instance, and if you
could see some of the papers he has to
handle every day you would under
stand his passionate longing to grasp
pump handle and kill people with it.
There is one paper, that comes from a
city in the state of New York, that is
enough to make a sensitive man gnash
his teeth; it is printed with apple but
ter on hideous paper, and the machin-
cry used is doubtless an old cheese
press; the mailing clerk rolls it into an
awkward, triangular bundle, and
daubs paste and ink all over it, and by
the time it reaches the exchange edit
or's hands it is sight to behold. And
yet that suffering but conscientious
man feels it his duty to read the
wretched paper and he does it, and it
makes him old before his time. This
is just one phase of his sorrowful, dol
orous life, but it may serve to make
clear to people the reason why he
wears look of settled melancholy and
why he never whistles anything but

Strong And weak Spelling.

Speaking in a broad and general
way, and admitting that everyone is
liable to misspell word of the English
language at some time in his life,
spoilers, says the Youths Companion.
may be divided into two classes-the
@strong spoilers" and the "weak. SPELL
ers." What strong spelling" means
may be illustrated by the ortho-
graphical maxim and practice of an
excellent gentleman who is now dead.
His rule was: Never misspell word
for want of putting in enough letters. :"
Acting on this principle he spelled
girl gearle, do doe, and get gette.
This trait would seem to indicate a
liberal disposition, and this gentle
man was certainly a very literally
minded man. His strong spelling"
did not prevent him from serving the
public acceptably in several capacities.
Another strong speller always in
sisted upon writing the word "per-
haps" thus: perhapse. Though he was
frequently demonstrated with and re-
peatedly told that there was no final g
in the word he continued to spell it
that way. A thoroughly "strong
speller" always seems to be accorded a
certain sympathy and even admiration
by those who ordinarily spell correct
ly, while "weak speller" is always
laughed at.
What "weak spelling" means may be
illustrated by the case of gentleman
who recently wrote enthusiasm"
thus: entheusam, and who generally
spells suggest" sojest. Tie same
gentleman is known to have spelled
penalty pelenty, but a peculiarly of
his case is that he never mispronounces
a word. and always appears in conver-
sation what he certainly is, a cultivated
gentleman.

CARPET
At
ABSOLUTE
COST.

We find we have much too large a
stock of Carpets to carry over. In or
der to reduce it, we have decided to
make horizontal reduction that
will move them at once.
We are not prone to Indulgence in
sensational head lines or extravagant
boasting, but " at this time and place"
positively assert that we shall place
lower prices on Carpets than they were
ever before sold for in Portage County
"a bona fide cost basis.
"There is reason in all things" and
our reason for this sacrifice in price is
that we want the room for our Fall
stock.
Now is your opportunity. You will
scarcely have another such an one in
a life time to buy elegant Floor Cover
ings untainted with profit to the seller,
1t will pay you to anticipate your
purchases in the line of Carpets.
We mention in particular our large
aud superb stock of Body and Tapes
try Brussels. The prices we have
marked on them will meet your ap-
proval land cause you to willingly part
with your bottom dollar, if needs be,
in Carpet investment. Just think
of it.: An elegant Brussels Carpet at
but trif1e more cost than an Ingram.
Our Moquettes, Art Squares, Rugs,
Mattings, Oil Cloths and Linoleums
are all dumped in the cost hopper.
These prices necessitate strictly cash
sales. Respectfully,

One of Bishop Potter's stories.

A bishop likes a good story, and
Bishop Potter can tell one much better
than the average after-dinner orator.
At the Colonial Club the other night,
where this distinguished prelate re-
sponded to the first toast, "The Colo
NAL Club" he illustrated point with
this very fetching story: Some years
ago buxom lady (Mrs. Ruggles by
name), travelling in Europe, improved
her stay in Rome by visiting the art
galleries. In the vatican she was
made familiar with the great wosks OF
the master artists, and was finally
taken by the guide up to that very
perfection of manly beauty, the Apollo
Belvedere.
"This, said the obsequious attend
ant, SIS the Apollo Belyedere," giEing g
the most correct accent to the penulti-
mate of the marble gods name.
That's the whatg" querulously OBJ
served the lady.
",The Apollo Belvedere, madam,
matchless for its representation of the
male form.
"That's the Apollo Belvedeer, is iti
Well, I've heerd of it before, and she
viewed its posterior lines with inter
est.
"Yes, the Apollo Belvedere-nothine
to match it in the world, madam"
The sightseer had by this time
worked her way around to the statue'
front, and glancing from the feet tt
the thin thighs and thence to the stat
ue's head, she looked at the guide will
a deep-seated expression of disgust
and, as she turned upon her heels, re
marked:
@Well, if that's the Apollo Belvedeer
give me Ruggles."
Bishop Potter, it is needless to say

BY-ooNE SUGGESTIONS.
And Many Which Still Linger in the
Minds of the Shallow.

The ancient custom of whirling the
teacup and telling fortunes by the
dregs, seeing kiss here, ring there,
clear sky or tears, is now known as a
part of the old divination which even
the more enlightened of the heather
ridiculed; the notion of disaster with
thirteen at the table has been exploded
long ago; the idea that Friday is day
of i'll luck, that any of Gods days can
be days of i'll luck, ranks, one adher-
ing to it, as among the low and igno-
rant.
That one must not trim ones nails
on Sunday, lest one do something one
is ashamed of before the next Sunday;
that the scissors dropping into the
floor. instead of upon it, announces a
coming guest; that the rocking of an
empty chair gives spiritual warnings;
that the baying of dog at night, the
breaking of looking glass, the put
ting on of another's Grape, all proph-
esy death-the belief in these and kim
dred superstitions, and the expression
or exercise of such belief, gives one
low caste, and is no longer to be
indulged in with safety by those am
bilious of social correctness and ele-
gance.
Enlightenment has gone too far in
these days for those desiring its extern
sion to subject themselves to the idle
ness of belief in any possible power
over US inherent in any combination
of inanimate substances. We have
come out into the light, and left the
bats and owls and creeping things of
night behind US. We can not be ham,
pered by those who persist in looking
back and lingering over such dust and
ashes; we drop their hands aud go on.
1t has become the edict, not only Of
Christian faith, but even of gay So
ciety, an evidence of vulgar breeding,
both inadmissible and impossible, to
give any more heed than we should to
objects of curiosity to these notions
and fancies which are in amount the
creed of the ignorant beldams of the
dark ages.
These useless and depraving things
must all 60 together into the caldron
where the sisters of the blasted heath
performed their incantations, belong
ing to the legends of dark history and
unhappy ages. and be allowed to bear
no relation whatever to the sweetness
and light of our own fortunate days,
and those more fortunate, perhaps, to
come-H0rDeTis B0zdr

Adopting English Words.

The French Academy, jealous as it
is for the purity of its native language,
is nevertheless obliged to admit that
certain English words have obtained
so firm footing in it that it is useless
henceforth to attempt to drive them
out, says the London Daily Neq0s. NJ
Greard, chairman or "rapporteur" to
the dictionary commission appointed
by that body, has just presented re-
port full of details interesting to phil
ologists. The commission does not
attempt to justify sun five o'clock"
meaning five O'Clock tea, still less the
infnitive form, five o'clocquer,"
meaning to take five o'clock tea. and
they are silent as to meeting" "book-
maker" USUALLY written "bookmack-
cry, sportsman" (or "sportmans"),
handicap" "boule dogue," and other
words frequently heard in the mouths
of Frenchmen. What they do say is
that forms like "bifteck" (beefsteak),
"break," Spleen" and a few others
which may be said to have no French
equivalents may henceforth be consid-
cred as part of the French language.
At the same time it is recommended
that the spelling shall be altered SO
that they may correspond with the To-
cal pronunciation. Thus "biftec" is to
replace "bifteek," "brec," brake, and
"spline," spleen.
The most noteworthy of the other
recommendations of the commission
is the suppression of the circumfex
accent, leaving only two accents, the
acute and the grave.

TnE FRENCH JURY SYSTEM.
How 1T Differs from That in Vogue In
England and America.

The assize court is composed of an
assize judge and two assistant judges.
The jury are seated in the courtroom
to the right of the judge. They have
no special costume, but wear their or
.dinary dress. Sometimes they appear
in blouses. The prisoner faces the
jury. They ask no direct questions,
but may interrogate the prisoner or
Witnesses, through the Judge, on any
point likely to afford them informa-
ton, and may also demand to see all
articles offered in evidence by the pub
lie prosecutor to prove the prisoners
guilt. They hear the argument of the
public prosecutor, who pleads for the
indictment which he has prepared, and
then those of the defense, and form a
truly enlightened opinion from the de-
positions of the witnesses on both
sides.
When the trial is concluded the
judge, in the presence of the court,
reads to the jury the questions which
are submitted to them, and reminds
them of the duties which they are to
perform. 1t is usually question of
the honor or dishonor of family; of
life or death for fellowman. In the
center of the room is a long table with
six separate partitions or boxes on
each side. At the head of the table is
box for the foreman, containing a
wooden urn. From the moment the
jury enter this room they are alone.
The foreman puts the questions to
them and they discuss them.
The jury is usually divided into two
almost equal camps. There are the
indulgent ones, who answer the most
incontrovertible evidence with the
everlasting "What does that prove?"
and there are those who, even when
the crime is but Improved, declare
that Society must be rid of such peo-
ple."
The foreman finds it hard to seize
the opportune moment when the jury
are almost agreed in their readiness
or reluctance to vote one way or the
other. Then he states the question
anew. The jurymen seat themselves
at the table. each in his box, where he
can not see what his neighbors write.
One bv one they rise and place their
folded ballots in the urn. The form
of the ballot is: "Upon my honor and
my conscience | declare that" ETC.

What a Horse Can Do.

A horse will travel 400 yards in four
and one-half minutes at walk, 400
yards in two minutes at trot, 400
yards in one minute at a gallop. The
usual work of horse is taken at 22,-
900 pounds raised one foot per minute
for eight hours per day. A horse will
carry 250pounds twenty-five miles per
day of eight hours. An average draft
horse will draw 1000 pounds twenty
three miles per day on a level road,
weight of wagon included. The av-
erage weight of horse is 1000 pounds,
his strength equivalent to that of five
men. In horse mill moving at three
feet per second, track twenty-five feet
diameter, he exerts with the machine
the power of four and one-half horses.
The greatest amount horse can pull
in horizontal line is 900 pounds, but
he can only do this momentarily; in
continued exertion probably half of
this is the limit. He attains his growth
in five years, will live twenty-five, av-
erage sixteen years. A horse will live
twenty-five days on water. without
solid food, seventeen days without eat
ting or drinking, but only five days
on solid food without drinking.
There is great danger that the emi-
nent pugilists-one of whom is "cham-
pion," another was, and third would
like to be-will disable themselves by
the strain they are keeping up on
their respective, if not respectable,
laws.-PhiLadeLpItiG Ledger.
