One Mnr to Smell pntatn.

Considering the state of the crops and
the anxiety expressed by our English
cousins about our spelling, the following
exercise may be appropriate, Who invented
it is unknown to me, but it sounds like DR..
Wayland, of Philadelphia, n "fonetik par
son:" what does this spell-Ghoughphth-

Them.
Since the decrease Of farming industries
in New England many of the deserted
farmhouses in retired regions have been
bought by city people Of moderate means
for summer homes. These houses usually
lie at distance from the railroad and are
devoid Of any pretenses to smartness;
hence they may be obtained at a nominal
price and answer for purposes of summer
retirement very well even to persons ac-
customed to the modern conveniences Of
city life. To pass winter in one Of them
would be a different story, but during
the warm weather the out Of door life Is
the main thing, and in quiet country
spot the house Is little more than place
in which to eat and sleep.
