WAR ON "cOMPTROLLER."
A Form of Spelling That Has No Au-
thority of Meaning or Derivation.

From the New York Advertiser.
There is to be war upon the awkward
word comptroller, which has come down
TO us as a memento Of the pedantic igno-
rance OF the middle ages, when some bump
tious clerk. proud OF his smattering Of
Latin and wholly ignorant Of etymology,
thinking that the idea Of counting was
some way mixed up with the word, intro
duced the supernuous and wholly incorrect
mp. as II the first syllable must be compt
or count.
AS any dictionary will show, the word
count comes from the Latin computare
and IN early English count was spelled
compt, In fact II and its derivatives, as
counting house. we're so spelled down 70 a
recent date. But the term controller did
not come from computare. and there Is no
reason, therefore. for the superfiuous y
and the incorrect m. Prof. Lounsbury Of

In the Cars Country There Are Many
Journals with Odd Names.
Newspapers printed in the Russian
language arc not circulated nor read
generally in the United States, and any
one who has ever made even cursory
examination Of Russian newspaper
printed in Russian characters can see at
a glance why, as far as this country is
concerned, they do not "fill "A long felt
want
In the naming of Russian newspapers
such journalistic titles as Sun, Gazette,
Press, Observer, Star, Courier, Bulletin,
Advertiser and Eagle do not prevail,
hut in place of these more descriptive
titles are used. The humorous newspa-
per Of ST. Petersburg is called The
Weekly Schut, or, translated, Tho Fool
The medical journal Of ST. Petersburg
published under authority of the wal
Office, is The Russian Invalid. Tho Off
cial morning newspaper of Moscow is
The Viedomosti Gorodskoo Politsii, 9th
erise The Police Gazette. The Russian
newspaper best known IN this country
il the daily Novoyo Vremya, or The
New Times. of ST. Petersburg.
One Of the illustrated St. Petersburg
wecklies is called The Neva, after the
river which flows through that capital,
and two weekly newspapers longest es-
tablished in the city of Moscow are The
Boudiluik and The Krougozor, other
wise The Alarmer and The Horizon.
For some reason which is not very clear
the word "wiedomosti meaning
news" is popular as q newspaper de-
signation in the city Of Moscow. There
arc four daily newspapers in Moscow
having this titlc-The Russian News
Modern News. Moscow News and Ql,
News. Tho Old News is maintained to
the republication Of articles from othci
newspapers There are perhaps som'
newspapers in the United States worthy
of being called Tho Ola News. but il is
certain that there is no newspaper IN
tho United States which formally and
voluntarily would assume that title.

The NntrItious MARROW.

A grateful mother has just told of the
almost miraculous are of her grown up
son by the very simple means advised
by an eminent physician. IL was a cnse
of debility and omaciation that nothing
could seem to reach until the physician
in question prescribed q remedy that he
has found remarkably efiicucious in
treating weak inyalids and delicate chill
dren. This was nothing more than the
eating of an unlimited amount Of mar
row. Every day q large quantity of the
bones containing marrow was ordered
from the great markets. Tho only pep
aration necessary was to warm the
marrow sufficiently to enable it TO be
easily spread on bread. Then, with the
addition of a little salt 10 render il
more palatable, it was ready to do its
work Of regeneration. Under this treat
ment the patient mentioned gained dur
ing tho first two weeks ten pounds Of
flesh and strength in proportion and
afterward continued 70 gain steadily
until health and strength were quite re-
stored. Philadelphia Press

a nnnrcrnns YIow nf 10.

We are constantly confronted with
tho fact that neither material advan-
tages nor intelligence nor education nor
even a good moral record is proof
against disloyalty to life. Many causes
are adduced, grief, shame, remorse, de-
spair being among the most numerous.
But perhaps the foundation cause
which underlies all others may be said
to be tho common habit of thinking that
life is to be valued only for tho happi
ness it yields Many people grow up
with the idea that if personal life be
not personally happy tits useless. Thus.
when they como 70 sono epoch when
sorrow triumphs over joy, failure over
success, pain over pleasure, life loses all
meaning to them and is easily parted

sixty Thousand seeds 70 tho Plant.

The common purslane is ono Of tho
wonders Of botany, as far as seeds are
concerned at least. A single seed of this
plant will produce about 20 seed pods
in season. The average number Of
seeds in each Of these. by actual count
is 5000, making 10000 in all. AS far
as we have been able to learn there is
no instance of similar fruitfulness in
any plant found growing in this coun-
try. A single plant Of either the James
town weed C''jimson"D, the butter
weed, the rag weed and some of the
vervines produce an enormous number
of seeds, but it is doubtful if any one Of
them produces one-fourth as many in a
year as the purslane does. st Louis

story about hinG
"Bill oncesat on a jury in one Of my
first cases 1t was an assault and bat
terry case. TIE trouble came up over the
attempt toJuild a fence across a high
way. There were two defendants and
four prosecuting witnesses. The trial
was held at the home of the justice Of
the peace, a olapboard little house right
out in a cornfeld We couldn't find IL
men in the township, so we agreed to
jury Of six. The Justices wife stood in
the doorway during the trial and die
tated all the rulings.
"They didn't make any case against
us-my partner and l appeared for the
defense-but we knew the jurymen
wanted their fees, and they wouldn't
get any if the defendants won. So we
were not very hopeful.
''The six jurymen went out into the
cornfeld to deliberate. They were gone
about two hours and then brought in a
verdict Of guilty and fined each of the
defendants 50 and COSTS The jury was
about to be discharged when my partner
jumped up and said to one of the jury
men: Say, who are you? 1 don't re-
member seeing you before. Then the
foreman spoke up and said: That's all
right. Bill Traynor couldn't wait. He
went off home, and we got Joe here to
take his place.
That's fact Bill had put in a
subs titute on the jury after they got out
in the cornfield. The justice said il was
all right anyway, so long as there was
a majority of the jury present, but 1
got up and threatened to sue him on his
bond, so he got scared and set aside the
verdict and discharged our clients.
"After l came on the bench Bill
Traynor was up before me for stealing
a steer, and | made the instructions to
tho jury rather favorable TO him, and
he was acquitted. You see. l had a
friendly feeling for him becauso he had
helped me to win one Of my first cases -
