THE NEGLECT OF SPELLING.

great interest in educational questions.
"We are neglecting spelling, and are
doing pupils a wrong. 1 believe that
there should be spelling every day
through the school course, up to the
very day of graduation. The president
of a big company in this city told me
that he had to discharge four stenog-
raphers, accurate in their shorthand
work. but who spelled SO wretchedly
that he was shaned to send their type
written letters to other business firms.
1t consumed too much time to correct
those errors. and he simply had to keep
changing until he secured one who spelled
creditably.
Something similar to this was told me
the other day by the head of a Maine
street business house that has twelve
travelling men or, the road. He was SIM

Eight out of the twelve could not write
three lines without incorrectly spelling as
many words, and the remaining four were
not guiltless of errors. He said that
some of these young men had taken
a commercial course, wrote an excellent
hand and were pushing, hustling, bus

THE FEAR OF DEATH.

The fear of death in the abstract is a
natural instinct. and. being natural, is
doubtless a wholesome one. And this
being so, a constant realization of 1t IS

questioned whether. to use the imagery

seriousness it was continually present

useful campaigner. But, in point or
fact, there is no danger. that it will be
SO. The story is told of a priest, who,
under sentence of death in days when
the penalty was more common than

to his fellow convicts in k case. It Is

One of the most exciting games ever
witnessed in Greenville was rolled last
night at Voss' alleys between the Long
Handles, the local team, and the 1nde-
pendents of Bayonne. The Long Handles
are noviees at the game and are one of
the few teams of this city that do not
claim the championship of Hudson Coun-
ty. The Long Handles, although young
iat the anne. are good bowiers, but they
wish to have it distinctly understood
that they do not consider themselves
champions. In the game last evening the
team did not roll in its usual form and
consequently suffered q defeat. The con-
test was hot from start to finish, and
when the teams lined up for the last
frame they were separated by but two
points. The visitors made a heart-break-
ing finish, however. and won the game
by SO pins. Holman of the ~Independ-
