Ideal spelling Cenrse.

First, as to oral and written. column
and sentence spelling, 1 shall say only
this that the wise teacher will acouaint
herself with as many methods and de-
vices as possible, and change from one to
the other, in order to relieve the tediuml
and to meet the needs of Individual Chill
dren. Before all, she will beware of run
ming off at d tangent with any particular
method, because none yet discovered has
proved a panacea. Second, under no cir
cumstances should more than fifteen
minutes daily be devoted to the subject.
Whatever benefit the pupils receive from
their instruction in spelling will be OBJ
tanned within this period Third, I would
recommend that the words be carefully
graded, not only in regard to- ortho-
graphical difficulties, but in accordance
with the vocabulary of the child as we'll.
IN this way, the course in spelling might
become as systematic as in other sub
Jects. Fourth, precedence should be given
TO common words, while technical and
unusual words should be taught itlcf-
dentally, BY excluding words of the lat
ter classes, the course would be materi-
ally. abridged. and the chancesAo pro-
ducing good practical spellers pr bortlon-
ately increased, Fifth, the course should
that contain no catch, l. o., words which
naturally spell themselves. My researches
an this point would indicate that more
than half the common words Belong to
this category, and consequently need not
be studied. The ideal ground to be COW
cred in spelling would be represented.
therefore, by carefully graded list of the
common words most liable to be mis-
spelled, The number of words in this list.
according to my estimate. would be be-
tween six and seven thousand, Forum.

The Central Vermont and Rutland rail
roads, in conjunction with other roads OF
the country, have been given two years
more by the interstate commerce commits
sion in which to adopt the automatic
coupler in accordance with an act of Con
gress. Something like 20 per cent of the
cars of the Rutland road are now equipped
with automatic couplers, and by another
year all of its cars will be so supplied The
Central Vermont has also already equipped
a large percentage of its rolling stock.
AT the recent hearing given on this mat
ter by the interstate commerce commits
sion at Washington it appeared from the
evidence that the percentage of cars in the
country SO old as to be not worth equip
ping with couplers was about ten. The
total number OF cars owned by the roads
which filed petitions for an extension was
l,O69, 7O4, of which those owning 28S, 2S0
cars had between 70 per cent and 100 per
cent OF their cars equipped, those owning
394,3l2 cars had between so and 70 per
cent equipped and those owning 23O,27l
cars between 20 and 30 per cent equipped
and those owning 156,s4l cars below 20
per cent.

MISS DORA CRAY AS AN ACTRESS.

Highly Complimentary Notice of Her
Appearance I'm an Amateur PrOduc-
ton at LIttIetOn, N. II.
The many friends of Miss Dora Cray of
this town will be interested to learn of q
very successful appearance she recently
made in Littleton, n. H., in amateur dra-
matte work. Lydia in "A Husband in
Glover" was the part in which she appear
ed and the play was given in aid of one of
the church societies there, j. N. Cooper, q
well-known amateur, being the other per
former. This dainty comedietta received
a very successful introduction TO the pub
lie in Keiths Boston and New York thea
tres last spring and made favorable i'm
preston upon the good people of Little
Ton
OF Miss Cray's acting the local paper
says: at was a remarkably clever exhibit
tion of versatility and dramatic knowl-
edge. To simulate in succession a loving
wife, poetic and sentimental life partner,
a woman of passionate and jealous tenn
permanent, and a stylish and masculine
woman of the world, requires something
more than mere acting it necessitates an
intimate acquaintance with human charac-
ter. But each role was portrayed with
skill and genius and with the lack of that
ranting style the amateur is so prone to
make use of. while the delicate by-pfay
that characterized her acting was a source
of much congratulation afterwards from
her friends. Miss Cray has most pleas
ing presence and stage personality, and in
gesture and movement was as graceful as
if she had done nothing else but tread the
boards all her life. In conclusion we can
only add that we hope TO have the pleas
ure of seeing this talented young woman
here again at no late date"

GOOD NEWS FOR BRATT1EBoRo
The Lyons Granite Company Have
Large Contract In sight which VIII

The Lyons Granite Company Have a
Large Contract In sight which win
Mean Busy work for Months, with n
Large Force of Men at the quarry.
The George +. Lyons Granite company
have in prospect a contract for large
amount of stone for the new dam which is
in process of construction by the Holyoke
Water Power company at Holyoke, Mass.
The original contract for the granite for
the dam which was taken by st. Louis
man. has been given up by him after sink
ing $4,000 or 100000 in it. A New
York concern has taken the contract of
his hands and will divide II among several
granite concerns in order to secure prompt
delivery of the stone. The Lyons com
pany is offered a share of the contract
which will amount 10 1000 or 5000 tons
nearly all of it dressed stone-which will
be used on the facing OF the dam. Much
of the granite will be in large blocks
weighing six and eight tons each.
The only question about accepting the
contract is with regard to the transporta-
tion from the quarry to Brattleboro. f.
F. Brooks of the granite company was in
New London yesterday, accompanied by
George Flynt of Monson, a member of the
W. y. Flynt Granite company, to consult
with the officials of the New London d.
vision in regard TO this matter.
1t is hoped that if the contract is taken
the Central Vermont company will lay a
third rail on the narrow gauge road from
Brattleboro to the quarry. In the present
unsettled condition Of the Vermont Cen
trail affairs, however, this cannot be assured
though the New London officials will use
all their influence to have the improve
ment made. All the repair work which
has been done between here and the quar-
ries during the last four or .s- years ha.
had the third rail in view. All the new
ties which have been laid have been Of
standard gauge length.
The company will decide within a few
days whether to accept the contract. 1t il
practically assured that it will be taken,
because a large amount of stone could bt
handled protitably with the present faclli
ties. At comparativly small expense new
cranes and other improved transfer ap
paratus can be put in. II the contract il
closed work al the quarry will begin soor
and as much as possible will be done
during the winter
A large amount Of preliminary work ha
been done on the new Holyoke dam during
the past two years. The foundations ar,
now practically all in. When work is re
sumed next spring it will be pushed rapid
| ly and if the season is favorable the dan
will probably be completed before anothe
winter

adjoining towns, to whom he is owing some

River year or two ago. Greenslet bought
apples on commission at the railroad yard
during the past fall and did a large bust
ness. He gave the farmers five cents more
per hundred pounds than they could get
from local concerns. The apples were
shipped to Boston. Greenset had man
stationed on Main street who hailed all
farmers as they came into town, and told
them of the prices which were being paid
for apples. Some of those who sold ap-
Piles followed Greenslet sharply and OBJ
tanned their pay. Greenslet may return
