ADescription of JOwett.

In "The Life and Letters of Benjamin
Jowett" everything relating to the master
of Ballot is presented. He was born at
Peckham in 1917 and educated at st.
Pauls school. In 1885, when he was Is,
he was elected to scholarship at Ballot.
The family were without means, and
young Jowett may have felt the stress Of
poverty. But he was n Woodworking man,
soon obtained fellowship, and then there
followed tutorship, and matters were i'm
proved. Jowett's appearance then Is thus
described:
"His personality was very impressive.
The look of great refinement, yet of manly
strength, of subtlety combined with sim
plicty, his unaffected candor, tempered
with reserve, could not fail to attract,
even when it baffled observation. His
soft, wavy locks were already touched
with gray, beginning to recede from the
temples, so as to make more prominent
the expansive brow, I'm which phrenolo-
gists would say that idealism' was bal
anced with comparison and causalty.
His full gray eyes spoke of the clearnoss OF
the mind within. yet had dreamy. visit
full look, sometimes increased by slight
twitching of the eyelid. His mouth In re-
nose appeared full and slack, but the ex-
pressive lips were under absolute control.
He was always clean shaven, except the
scanty whiskers and the small chin seemed
hardly to promise the strength of yolition
which lay concealed within"

SHINTO OFFERINGS
Peculiar Gifts With Which the Japs Dec
crate the Shrines of the Gods.

The influences of the nineteenth century
have little affected the real spirit of Shin
to, if they can be said to have done so at
all, in any part of Japan. The faith re-
mains not less earnest, though its mani
festations often assume u character pecul-
lar to the Meiji era. The offerings to the
gods are as numerous as ever, but many
of them are strictly modern and some
quite occidental. At the great shrine of
Kompira, for example, you will find
curiously modern eX voto-a life preserver
bearing in English letters the name of the
ship Tosa, to which it belonged and You
may notice there also among old fashioned
ex voto pictures of junks saved from wreck
by divine power new pictures of steamers
and modern schooners similarly rescued
by the god
At nearly all of the greater temples and
at many of the smaller ones you can see
spols of the war with China. Among
these are gatlng and armstrong guns,
canister shot ana 22 centimcter shells,
mannlchGr rifles and martins, colt re-
yolvers and winchester repeaters, not to
speak of Chinese banners uniforms and
lances-a vast part of the captured arma-
ment having been thus disposed of. The
soldier of Meiii indeed salutes the gods rs
he salutes his commanders, and the officer,
unsheathing his sword, presents arms be-
fore the Shinto shrine in western military
fashion. But the reverence expressed is
the reverence unchanged of Il thousand
years ago.
The festival for the military dead is cele-
brated now with horse races and with
modern gymnastic games. But the old
belief in the real presence of hero souls
makes the same appeal as in other days to
| the heart of camps How little also the
| influence Of Buddhism has been weakened,
! even in the military world, may be OWNED
! from the fact of the great festival held in
| 1896 OH behalf of the spirits of the cavalry
horses that persisted in the war.-Lafcadio
| Hearn in Atlantic.

Grants Tribute to McPherson.

In his Campaigning With Grant, IN
The Century, General Horace Porter says;
In the battle of the 22d General McP herson
was killed. When this news reached Gen
eral Grant, he was visibly affected and
dwclt upon it in his conversations for the
next two or three days. Mcpherson, "
he said, "was one of my earliest stall ofli-
GERS and seemed almost like one of my
own family. At Donelson, Shiloh, Nicks-
burg and Chattanooga he performed splon-
did service. l predicted from the start
that he would make one of the most bril-
liant officers in the service. was very
reluctant to have him leave my staff, for
disliked to lose his services there, but l felt
that IL was only fair to him to put him In
command of troops where he would be In
the line of more rapid promotion. l was
very glad to have him at the head Of my
old Army OF the Tennessee. His death will
be a terrible loss to Sherman, for l know
that he will feel 1t as keenly as 1. Nc
Pherson was beloved by everybody In the
service, both by those above him and by
those below him."

PLAIN RULES FOR SPELLING.
The Use of the Letters "ei' and sic" In
Different Words.

The Use of the Letters "ei" and "ie" In
Different Words.
The spelling of words in ie and ei causes
q great deal of trouble in the world, and |
have thought it would be useful if form
Jila could be got up which should cover all
such words in an easily remembered jim
gle. Such "a rule would perform the same
sort of service as the ever useful Thirty
days hath September
The object of the jingle is to state every
case in which the seq comes before the
81" In all other cases the ''i' comes first.
1t thus becomes very easy matter when
in doubt TO run through the verses and de-
eide at once what the spelling in any case
is. The rule may at first seem mixed and
not plain. But it is easily understood, and
person who commits IL to memory never
need have any further trouble on the score
of eli or lie. 1t is simply to be noted that
there are five cases in which sc" comes
before "i:'
First When the sound is long ga. "
Second.-When the sound is long 81. "
Third-After the letter sc"
Fourth When, with four exceptions,
the sound is short.
Fifth. In "a list of IL words not includ
cd in the above four cases.
In all other cases 'i'' comes before sc. F"
When sound is like long or i,
Or after letter c;
Save mischief kerchief friend and sieve,
When like short or G.
In either, neither, seignor, seize,
Obeisance and in sheik,
Inveigle, leisure, weir and weird,
In tell, and also cleik.
Reasonable pains have been taken to
make the rule comprehensive, but as there
| Is chance that some exceptions have
failed to be noticed, "a few remarks may be
J necessary.
First.-It is understood that the rule
does not apply to words ending in lie, &c
participles in led, or to plurals in les. These
hardly give trouble in spelling.
Second. There are great many Scotch
words in eli which are pronounced long re, y
but many of them have variant forms, and

THE MEDICAL STUDENT.
Pow He Got His Education In the Oiden
Dayg.

In the old days, which many Of our still
active practitioners well remember, the
medical student was registered with prac-
tiLing physician, who more or less intelli-
gently din ected his reading, and sometimes
took him on his rounds as n sort of private
a-istant, giving him fitful glimpses of pa
tients. He attended rarely three, some
times two, often only one course of lee
lures in medical school, hearing the same
lectures over again each year. The only
thing which he ever learned actually to do
with his fingers in the medical school was
TO dissect the dead subject, and here his
experience was not usually large. He
made careful notes of many views regard
ing disease and its nature, and usually
stepped out upon the arena with general
idea that disease was thing which got
into tie bodies of certain unfortunate peo-
pie, and which he was 10 drive out If he
could with some one or more of his prccep-
tors prescriptions, which he had carefully
copied in small compass ready for emer-
gencies.
When he had discovered the proper name
to attach to his patients malady, the rest
was largely a matter of an alphabetical
index Of remedies and calm abiding of
the consequences. IT should not be inn
agiped that the practitioners of medicine
in the old days were necessarily lacking in
wide views, practical knowledge and great
Skill but when this was the case, it was
usually owing to a training which they
had secured after and not before they be-
came doctors of medicine.
The medical college consisted of a group
of medical men who obtained charter,
hired a building, partitioned off among
/ themselves the subjects which were deemed
essential-anatomy, physiology and posi-
, bly, chemistry, materia medica, pathology
and the practice of medicine, obstetrics
and surgery. Each day the students sat
upon hard benches taking notes for dear
life while the subject matter of these
themes was let loose upon them in swift
! succession, for better or for worse through
| five long hours. Perhaps there was Il
clinic in the afternoon, perhaps not. There
were no laboratories, for practical work,
either of chemistry or physiology or his
tology or independent subjects, was un
known. A great many lectures, a little
dissecting, few clinics, possibly some
\ quizzes, Il final examination, and the de
gree of NJ. ID. was won.-Columbia Uni
versity Bulletin.

A Social Business Man.

One young business man in New York
has succeeded in making himself valuable
to his employers in peculiar way. lie
started in mercantile life with firm that
has large number of employees, and the
indications were that progress along the
ordinary lines of the business would be
very slow indeed 1t was only by accident
that an opening suddenly came which
made this particular man almost indispen-
sable to his employers and the recipient of
n salary proportionately large The firm
of which he is member happens TO have
important social relations with many of
its large customers who live in different
cities over the United States. There is
scarcely day that does not bring one of
these customers to call on the firm. One
day this young employee was called upon
to attend TO such visitor, and he did it
with tact and completeness that showed
his Unborn aptitude for such transactions.
Gradually other duties were handed over
to him, and before long time had passed
he was relieved from other work in order
that he might devote himself exclusively
to what might be called the social end of
the firms business. His salary has been
raised several times in view of the capable
manner in which he attends to these trans
actions and takes the burden off the prin-
cipals in the business He represents the
members of his firm at funerals weddings
and all social functions, travelling some
times to remote points for the purpose, and
as his utility to his employers grows daily
greater they hold him in proportionately
higher esteem. His case was one instance
in which certain unusual talents asserted
themselves and won the success that comes
from the ability to fill particular sphere
