NOVEL SPELLING TEST.
Professor Wilmer Makes an Interesting
Experiment.

Professor Wilmer Makes nm Interesting
Experiment.
Professor Lightner Wilmer of the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania, who Is deeply In
tcrested in the science Of psychology, has
made test of the capability In spelling OF
the pupils Of the public schools. The pro-
fessor states In his report that his purpose
was not TO study the accuracy of spelling,
but TO examine the growth of thoughts and
ideas from year to year. The tests were
made among such institutions as the Con-
tral High school, the Northeast Manual
Training school, Normal school, University
of Pennsylvania and Bryn Mawr college
He states that tho test was very simply
made. He gave the pupils TO DO tested pa
per and pencil and asked them TO write as
rapidly as possible all the words they could
think of In l5 minutes, putting the words
down one under the other In vertical col
umn. The words thus written are general
ly connected In thought, but do not form
sentences. Speaking of the results OF his
Investigations, Professor Wilmer says:
'In the Northwestern Combined school
81 boys Of the twelfth grade wrote s, 170
words In 10 minutes, Of which 9S. words
In cyery 100 were correctly Spelled 86 girls
of the same grade wrote 1888 words, spell
ing 90.2 per cent correctly; IA boys in tho
eighth grade wrote 1855 words, of which
"a. 5 per cent were correctly spelled, and IS
girls wrote 2, 377 words, Of which 96. 0 per
cent were correctly spelled.
''In the sixth grade "a boys wrote 2,67c
words, Of which 92. per cent were correct
ly spelled, and 10 girls wrote 2,044, with
o. per cent correctly spelled.
"Thus In every grade the girls spell bot
ter than tho boys, both girls and boys
showing constant improvement from the
sixth grade to the twelfth. 1t will also be
seen that from the lowest grade upward
both boys and girls increase In tho number
of words written In the Same constant fash
ion from q minimum Of 107 words per
pupil, the average for girls In the sixth
grade, to q maximum of 241 words per
pupil by boys Of the twelfth grade.

solidated school oorroboratc these results In

age Of 15l words per pupil, with 97.7 per

Hay Fever.
A Discovery for This Malady at.Lasi--Re-
lief al Your Own Home.

No one but the sufferer from hay fever
knows the agony that attends this tor
turing malady. continual round OF
sneezing, eyes that are weak. watery and
i1amed, a nose tnst runs without cessa-
tioD. and grows more sore every hour,
inability 20 breathe, nights that become
hours of torture, days that are long
drawn out ans full OF sutfering-and all
this continues until che sufferer is
obliged to pack up and 60 TO some
locality where this disease does not
thrive. Formerly 1t was considered that
the only way hay fever could be relieved
was by a change of climate, the noun
tains of New Hampshire being noted for
this purpose. Now it is known by ply
sicians and patients alike that sufferers
from this trouble can be relieved at home
py the use OF XZalia. The preparation
is an entirely new discovery in medicine,
it's merits for the relief OF hay fever
only becoming known within the last year
or two.
X-Zalia is made from the sap OF GER
tain tree, COIN bined with other vegetable
ingredients found in Sew Hampshire,
and contains the necessary medicinal
properties that have made New Hamp-
shire air famous for the virtuous quail
ties IL contains for the cure OF this dis
ease. Many sufferers who were sceptical
have tried X-Zalia, and, to their surprise,
found relief. Among those who may be
referred to are Mr.. w. +. I.akin, Manager
Consolidated Store Service Company,
Fiske Building, State street, Boston;
Mr.. George L. Armstrong, OF the firm OF
Clark, Ward & Co., Bankers, Equitable
Building, Boston; Mr.. Z. II. Stevens,
Phillips Building, Boston; Mr.. Walter
l.. Frost, Congress street, Boston; Mrs.
William +. Richardson, 12 Elm street,
South Framingham Mass. United States
Senator j. III. Gall;nger, New Eamp-
shire.
1t is expensive to take a long trip to
the mountains for relief. 1t does not cost
you much to try X-Zalia right here at
home, and be convinced as to whether It
does what is claimed for il or not. Ask
your druggist for XZalia. II he does
not keep it, send II to The X-Zalia Com
pany, No. 3 Beacon street, Boston, Mass,
and they will send one of .heir largest
bottles, express paid, anywhere on line
of railroad in the United States.

The train was heavily guarded by

Oakland and quietly left the cab. His son
was firing the engine and he too left. The
company called Sam Clarke and he took
the train out. 1t was ditched just before
reaching Davis and two soldiers and
Clarke instantly killed.
The railroad discharged saulpaugh at
the time, and he went TO work on the

THREATEN 4 FAMINE,
Dairymen Dissatisfied With the
Terms of the Milk Or
dinance.
A Doctor Gives an Opinion That is
Very Unfavorab'e to the
Proposed Test.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,
90S Broadway. Aug. 3.

The City Council met tonight to con-
slider the milk ordinance. Contrary to the
expectation of the lobby the measure was
referred to the Ordinance and Judiciary
Committee. There were about score of
dairymen present and outside the council
chamber City Veterinary Pierce had a
very lively time with them. They are
very much opposed to the ordinance in its
present shape and are of the opinion that
the test by tuberculine is not as reliable as
it should be.
The dairymen base their attitude partly
on the remarks of DR.. Seifridge, who ex-
amined some of the microbes taken from
DR.. Wheeler's cow which was killed as a
test last week. DR.. Selfridge said at that
time: 81 examined a specimen taken
from the -pharyngeal gland of Dr..
Wheeler's COW, and [ found marked de-
velopments of tuberculosis. | hardly
think, however, that the tuberculine test
is sufficient warrant for the killing of
poor peoples COWS by public officers. /
am not convinced that the tuber-
culine does not provide the cows
that are killed with the tubercu-
losis that is afterward found in
their lungs or milk. To prove that this is
not so every cow suspected should have Its
milk examined under the microscope be-
fore the tubercuIine is given it and also
afterward. Under these circumstances if
no bacilh are found in the first instance
and some found in the second the tuber-
culine and not the COW IS at fault. The
disease is one lmperiling the lives of the
community, but the poor man must not
have his family support taken away with
out positive proof OF tuberculosis. When
that is found, however, the COW should be
killed at once"
The report was circulated to-day that
the miIkmen had entered into com bine
to defeat the final passage of the ordi-
nance by creating a milk famine and
turning their product into cheese and
butter.
This ordinance is altogether too arbi-
trary," said large dairy owner tonight,
'and the tuberculine test is not reliable
enough to risk the whole Eerd of man
who has invested all his capital in his
business. If it be necessary we will go out
out of the milk business and let the in
spector carry on his experiments as he
pleases. Pierce is a man of very limited
experience, and while no one wants to own
diseased cow we do not want cow to be
diseased by tuberculine and then killed,
which would have been all right if left
