AS TO BAD SPOILERS.
It Is Not Always the Caro- Reader
Who Spells Well.

A man who is constantly reading
ought, of course. to be able to spell
the words which he is repeatedly
seeing on the page before him, says
the Spectator. Yet. as We know, it
often happens that great readers are
exceedingly bad spoilers. Why is
this? We believe it is because the
bad speller sees and reads each word
as whole, as a grammalogue, or
thought symbol, that is, and not as
SO many letters. All people, OF
course, do this To some extent, but
we believe that the educated bad
speller does it very much more than
the good speller.
The ordinary man. puzzled about q
word. writes to see how it looks; and
this look tells him at once whether
he has spelled it right or wrong.
The true bad speller is, however,
not helped the very least bit in the
world by this process. He is only
the more puzzled by the writing on
the blotting-pad. He may write the
word dozen ways and not get one
version which looks to him better
than the others. The truth Is, his
eyes have some defect, probably OF
focusing power, which prevents him
seeing clearly the letters OF the
words. When he learns to read he
learns to read verbatim and not
literatim-and hence he sees. and
has always seen, the symbol for
receive" not "r-e-c-e-i-v-e, De with
the sc" always following the sc"
and in front Of tho ii. :"
This is why bad spoilers will al
most invariably be found to have
been slow in learning to read. They
were taught to read literally. but
found great difficulty in the process
owing TO defective eyesight. and $50
had slowly and laboriously to learn
the words as symbols OF ideas, not as
compounded letters. In word, bad
spelling is a defect OF the eyesight.
not of the mind; and. in all probabll-
ity, many a case Of inability to learn
to spell might be cured in children
by the right pair OF spectacles.
1t is not short sight that makes
the bad speller SO much as oversight
and difficulty in focusing the eye.
Short-sighted people are, indeed, apt
to spell we'll They hold the book
close to the eye, and see every letter
standing out clearly; for, as is we'll
known. tho effect Of the short-sighted
eye is to magnify. The long-sighted
eye. on the other hand, sees small
print as q confused and indistinct
mass. The general look OF the word
is detected, but not the letters which
make it up.

PROF kAHLENBBRG Of the State Uni
verslty was caller at The Pilot Office on
Thursday last. He leaves this week for
Leipsic, Germany, where he will spend
year IN study upon his speciality, Chem
Istry. Prof Kahlenberg IS a striking ex-
ample Of the influence of educational
sentiment in this county. He gradua ed
at the Two Rivers high school when Mr..
Burch was principal. Considerable at.
tention was given in the school to Physics.
Mr. kahlenberg while young taught
country school and in rapid succession
took a second and a first grade certificate.
He was a constant attendant at teachers
meetings. He graduated at the Milwau-
kee Normal School and then went to the
taking chemistry as his speciality. He
became instructor III this science and
took the post graduate course. He has
already acquired distinction in this
branch and as he has also given special
attention to mathematics, he is without
doubt destined to become famous.
Another of the Two Rivers boys, a
teacher Of country school in this coun-
ty only a few years ago, and class-mate
of kahlenberg, is pursuing just the same
course that kahlenberg has, that is Her
man Schlundt. He has graduated at the
same institutions, had likewise taste
for experimental work and united the
two II making chemistry a speciality. He
is now taking post graduate course in
the University and is an instructor there.
This Is a splendid educational record
| for our sister city. But the country
schools have likewise won distinction
| through their product. The many young
men now in professional life in many of
| the large cities, and rapidly earning a
| reputation who Were only a comparative

well equipped that he is certain to make
name for himself. Fred Meisnest has
chosen teaching as his profession and is
already well known in educational circles
All these young men have worked their
own way through college. 1t was net
example which inspired them, as college
training was something outside the ex
periepce Of the community in which they
lived. 1t was not custom they followed
but they were pushed forward by the &c
sire for improvement and encouraged by
the healthy educational sentiment which
prevailed. 1t is wise 10 continue tina

FIRES.

One OF the most destructive fires ID the
history of the county occurred at Grlmms
on Sunday evening. 1t seemed for a time
as if the whole village was doomed. Peter
Hauch and Michael Watt moved out all
their goods to the fields close by. but
fortunately their buildings escaped and
! a Monday morning they were busy NOV
/ ing things back.
The fire started near the lime kilns. 1t
soon spread to the high platform and
| from there to the immense quantity of
wood which the company had piled up
| in the yards. There were 10 cottages own
| ed by the company on the street skirtIpg
the wood yard. Six of these were burr
ed, and also about 1000 cords of wood,
the lime sheds and viaduct extending
from the ridge to the kilns, and the COM
pany's barns. Six freight cars were also
consumed four of them loaded. George
Goss, the company's foreman, went to
the barns when 1t was clear the fire could
not be brought under control, and let the
horses out fifteen in all. He fought the
fire throughout, with others. and lis own
home was destroyed with all its contents.
The fire engine from Reedsvllle was
brought down and about five threshipg
machine tanks were in use. But tie
large spring in G1mms farm was soon
exhausted and the fire fighters were left
without water. They had succeeded.
however, IN saving the village from total
destruction.
: number Of picnlcs were being held
IN the neIghborhocd but all hurried TO
the fire, There were ] 900 people present
and teams were strung along the roads
for half a mile, N several directions. Twice
Louis Grimm's straw stack. fully half
a mile uway, caught fire, but fortunately
was quenched each time. Cinders were
found in Pat Longs lane % miles away.
This gives some idea of the work done
to save tie village, from total destruc-
ton.
By II O'clock at night the fire had
burned out to such an extent as to re-
move all danger of its further spread
On Monday morning the ruins present
ed desolate appearance. Wherever the
fire ran the work Of destruction was COM
plete.
The lime kilns belong to Cook & Brown
of Oshkosh. Early Monday morning
they decided to begin work at once to re-
pair damages. They issued word that
100 men could find ready employment
until the plant was again running. The
extent of the loss depends upon the in
jury done the kilns. If they are worth
the loss will be $4,000. If not it Will lie
about $4,000. Last spring the company
reduced Its insurance $4,000.
