Bad Spelling:

illiterate or cares little for books.
But neither may be the case; it
often happens that great readers
are exceedingly bad spoilers. Why
is this? We believe the bad speller
sees and reads each word as whole,
as a grammalogue, thought SYM
boil, that is, and not as so many let
ters.
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 a word, writes it to see how
it looks; and this look tells him at
once whether he had spelled it
right or wrong.
The true bad speller is, however,
not helped the least bit in the
world by this process. He is only
the more puzzled by the written
word. He may write it a dozen
ways and not get one version which
looks to him better than the other.
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 "re-
ceive," with the "e" always follow
ing the &C." and in front of the a."
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 so had slowly and laboriously
to learn the words as symbols of
ideas, not as compound letters. In
word, bad spelling is a defect of
the eyesight, not of the mind; and
in all probability many a case OF
inability to learn to spell might be
cured in children by the use of
good pair of spectacles.

DIEGO CANO'S PILLAR GONE.

Explorers Monument Moved to kiel
By the Kaiser's Orders.
Diego Cano's pillar, marking the
farthest south Of the Portuguese dis
coveries in 14S5, has been removed by
the Germans from Cape Cross in Da-
MARYLAND, South Africa, and placed in
the collection Of the Marine Academic
at Klel. The pillar consists of shaft
six feet six inches high and q foot in
diameter, with capital seventeen
inches deep, heWn out Of single piece
Of marble. On the upper surface is
the mark Of the place to which the
cross, also brought to Kiel, was fasten-
ed with lead. On one face Of the CAPT
tai are the arms Of Portugal, in the
form they first took in the reign Of
John H.; the other faces are covered
by Latin inscription in Gothic char
acters, the substance Of which is re-
Deated in Portuguese in the same char
acters on the shaft of>the column. 1t
reads: From the beginning Of the
world there had elapsed G.GS4 years,
and from the birth Of Christ LASS,
when the most exalted and most Sc
rene king, Don John IL. Of Portugal,
ordered column to be erected here
by his knight, Diego Cano." Two sim
liar columns from Punta Santa Maria,
formerly Cape Santo Agostinho, dated
1882, and from Cape Negro, were re-
moved in 1891 to the Lisbon Museum.
Emperor William has sent out TO Cape
Cross, to be erected on the spot from
which the pillar was taken, IN exact
fac-simile Of the monument, in polish
ed dark.gray granite, with, in addition,
the arms Of Germany and this inscrip-
ton In German: BY order Of his maj
esty, the German emperor and king Of
Prussia, William H., this was erected
in 1894 in,place of the original pillar,
which had become weatherworn in the
course of>years."

HUNGRY BOA CONSTRUCTORS
1ne Of Them Swallowed Another at
the London Zoo.

one Of Them Swallowed Another at
the London Zoo.
A large number of visitors went to
the reptile house Of the geological gar
dens, Regent Park, to see the nine-foOt
boa constructor who automatically
swallowed his brother, measuring eight
feet says the London Telegraph. Ii
appears he could not help it. a pigeon
was given to the long snake as an even,
ing meal, and another was handed to
the shorter one for the same purpose,
The nine-footer forgot all about IT.
Turning his head to the other side, ha
came in contact with the hind quar-.
ters Of pigeon, but was apparently
unaware that the other end Of it was
In the mouth Of his companion. He
thought it was a bit Of his own bird
which he had omitted to eat, and leist
urely began to swallow it Unfortu'
nately, his palate was out Of ORDER
and he failed to recognize where thd
pigeon ended and the other snake be,
gan, for after he had got the remains
Of the former in his mouth he calmly
went on swallowing his friend and
companion eight feet in length. 1t wa;
a case Of "put pigeon in the slot and
the serpent will eat" Never has the
principle Of automatism had a more
signal triumph. It Is a great pity the
other was not ten feet long. In that
-case-the eater would have had one foo,
to spare, might have forced himself
through the other end, and IN revenge
begun TO eat the eater until they had
consumed each other AS it was, the
victory went to the longer snake, and
the unhappy and ulsuspecting eight
footer found a scaly sepulcher in hia
friends interior. It Is not surprising
to hear that after the meal the gour.
mand's skin was for some time undulE
distended. Yesterday, however, tho
boa constructor had nearly resumed its
ordinary size and was getting on as
comfortably as could be expected un4
der the circumstances. The keepers
declare that this peculiar example Of
snakophagy must have arisen from a
mistake, because the two, during the
twelve months they had inhabited tho
same apartment, "loyed each other like
brothers"

LIVERPOOL WAKING UP.
Competition Of Southampton Forcing
Her to Be More eAccommod atinS.

ompetiticn Of Southampton Forcing
Her to Be More Accom- M odating.
The dock board Of Liverpool Is to
spend large sum Of money for the pur.
pose Of building a landing pier on the
Mersey River, at which the great At
lantic steamers may take on and dis
charge their passengers, and thus avoid
the nuisance Of the present method Of
using for this purpose small tender
steamer, says the Boston Herald. The
cost Of this landing stage will be large,
but it is realized that Liverpool must
make this effort and expenditure IN
order to compete successfully with
Southampton as q port Of arrival and
departure.
The competition between these two
scsports has been very keen Of ia+e.
The Southampton authorities, acting
with the steamship lines that have their
terminals there, succeeded first in hay
Ing special trains run from London TO
connect directly with the steamers.
The passenger on a steamer bound for
America, if he went via Southampton,
could leave London on the morning Of
the sailing day, and, running without
stop to Southampton, could board the
steamers a few hours later. II going
via Liverpool, it was formerly neces-
sary, if the steamer left on Saturday, to
leave london on the preceding Friday,
and spend the night in Liverpool; but
within the last year or so it has been
arranged that special steamer trains
should leave London for Liverpool on
the day that the steamers sail, so that
the delay and expense of past times are
in this way avoided.
At Southampton the train from Lon.
don carries the passengers directly to
the dock in which the steamer, If she
belongs to the American line, is lying,
and to Offset this advantage it is pro-
posed in Liverpool to have carriage
transfers made from the railway stl-
tions to the steamers pier without eX-
pense to the passengers, while later on
the railway trains will run to the land
ing pier. This readiness to meet the
more favorable conditions existing
elsewhere displayed by the Liverpool
dock authorities has. no doubt, been
stimulated by the belief that unless
such inducements were held out the
Cunard and White Star lines might 6nd
it expedient to transfer their services
to Southampton.

A POSTOFFICE ROBBER,
After Faithful Chase, Captured and Taken to the Scene of
 His Crime.

Dick Thomas, a white man, aged about 26 or 27 was arrested at the union depot yesterday morning by Deputy Sheriff J. L. Hocomb of Walker county ana w. A. Tanner.
 Thomas, it is alleged, broke into the postoffice at Horse Creek, Wa Ike county, on the night of December ', 1851.
 The postoffi ce was burglariz,d of $5 in postage stamps and S1. 51 cash. The stamps taken were ''due' stamp, aud lew days later wer. found in the possession of some women living iu the vicinity of Horse Creek. When questions. as to how they came in possession of he stamps the women said they had been given to them by D.ck Thomas.
 warrant was sworn out before J. K. Faison, notary public at Horse Creek, aud placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Holcomb for execution.
 In the meantime Thomas had left that community, but the officer started in pur- suit of him and located his man at Gate City Monday afternoon. When he went out yesterday morning to make the arrest Thomas had left there. He was traced to the city, and about 10 o'clock the arrest was made as above stated.
 Deputy Sheriff Holcomb left on the Kan sas City, Memphis and Birmingham train at 12:15 p. m. for Horse Creek with his prisoner. The prisoner will probably be turned over to the United States authori- ties and the state case against him mol prossed
