A Matter of Spelling.

1t is one of the curious facts that
many of the brightest writers spell
atroclously. That in itself goes a
long way in the practical denonstra-
ton that illiteracy does not connect it
self with the art of spelling. An ex-
cellent article that recently passed
through editorship in this Office con-
tanned the words, village" Chi
neese, ''prarie, parallel" failure, .
Portuguese, and loose" for '1ose." 1t
was an admirable paper of choice lit
erary quality, and yet, had it been
printed as it was written, the proof
reader would have been open to sum-
mary discharge for obvious and hope
less incompetence.
That the humble minister would have
been declared too illiterate to read
proof Going backward one step, the
copy-reader that let such manuscript
pass without alteration would also be
open to discharge. Why? For illit-
eracy. And yet the literary quality of
the illiterately written article was fine
and evident.
People are very sensitive about their
looks and their spelling. Next in grav-
ity to the charge of being homely is the
charge of being unable to spell. That
seems TO carry with it sort of proof
that bad spelling is discreditable. And
yet people whom the charge most hurts
are those of whom it is truest. To be
able to write without being able to
spell is like being able to run without
being able to walk. Those who do II
are a wonder to those who look on

SalicyIates and Rheumatism.

DR.. T. H. Baker, a prominent Ken
lucky physician, who has made this
subject one of extensive study, states
in a publicly read communication that
he does not remember of ever having
seen the slightest benefit result from
the salicylates unless the muscular
trouble was complicated with joint af-
fections. His general conclusions are
that, in acute cases, the salicylates will
cure a larger number in fewer days
than any other known mode of treat
ment; in chronic cases the salicylates
are unquestionably serviceable, either
alone or in combination with other
drugs; While the salicylates neither pre-
vent nor ameliorate the cardiac COM
plications, except by lessening the num-
ber Of days the patient is exposed, they
certainly do not produce or aggravate
such complications. Under the salicyl-
ate treatment relapses are not so fire.
quent as in other modes, provided the
administration of the drug is not sus-
pended too suddenly after the cessation
of the pyrexia and articular symptoms
AS from 80 to 90 per cent of all cases
of rheumatism are attended by cardiac
complications, the proper protection of
the heart is of first Importance.

But the rule of repeal by implication

If there is not irreconcilable conflict
the laws may exist together. AS we
have already seen, there is certainly no
irreconcilable conflict Even if there
was more conflict in their language
more in the purpose-this would have
to yield TO the Interpretation of the
time and manner of their passage. The
Suspension Act was reported to the
House of Representative by the same
committee which reported the Dingley
bill-was considered and was passed
while that Act was in memory. 1t
passed the Senate while the Dingley
bill was pending in consideration, and
was approved by the President on the
same day as the Dingley bill A knowl-
edge of it's relations to that bill and
its effect on it must therefore be at
tributed to the Legislature. 1t may be
it was the later bill. for the Congress
sional Record shows that the Presi-
dents approval of it was communicated
to the Congress subsequently to that
of the other.
Even more extreme position might

nall and others (l5 Wisconsin, 1859, that
! where the provisions of statute
which relates to a particular class of
| cases are repugnant to those of anoth-
er statute approved the same day,
which is of a more general character,
the former must prevail as to the par
ticular class of cases therein referred
to. (See also Endlich on the Interpre
tatiOn of Statutes Section, 216, and
cases cited.)
1T follows, therefore, that Section
422S was not repealed by Section y,

ELKINS WROTE THE SECTION.
WASHINGTON, Sept p. - Senator
Stephen B. Elkins of West Virginia ac-
knowledges he is the hitherto unknown
author of Section %, the mysterious
paragraph in the new tariff bill, put
ting penalties upon goods carried into
the country by foreign transportation
companies. Senator Elkins, in speak
ing of the section, said to-day:
Il am not ashamed Of the part have
played 1 am proud of it. The section
would have meant for the ocean what
the tariff does for the land l think it
was American, and for that reason 1
pushed it.
This country is bound to be the mis-
tress of the seas just as soon as we get
time to attend to it. 1 wanted to hurry
it along. There was no trick about 1t at
all. I simply worked to succeed. Of
course, I was not going to tell those
opposed to the scheme all about it.
During President Harrison's admin
istration we came very near reaching
this end. Secretary Window, two days
before he died, drew up a resolution in
pencil with this end in view. Had he
lived, it would have been pushed. I am
going to push it now.
Il shall be sorry if Attorney General
McKenna finds fault against the dis
eliminating clause. Should he do so,
think he will give Americanism and
American shipping a setback of twen-
ty-five years.

rived freely of late, and the market is

Yellow Corn has arrived. both large and

no changes. Rye is firmly held at the
quotations: offerings are small; the de-
mand however, is easily satisfied.
All fruits are in ample supply for the
demand. Table Grapes are in over-sup-
ply and do not move at all. Wine
Grapes clean up well, but receipts are
small as yet. Strawberries and Rasp-
berries are weak; a few Blackberries
came in to-day. Fancy wrapped Pears
are doing better Melons are weak and

choice Apples. The first new crop Cape
Cod Cranberries arrived during the week.
Dried Fruits are tritie quiet at the
moment, but prices show no material fall

Butter market is about steady: the
tendency, however, is downward prices
of fresh goods have gone above what
the trade will pay, and there Is slack
ing off noticeable in the demand. Cheese
is steady; during the week the market adj
vanced a trihe. Eggs are firm: some

side figure; small sales of selected ranch

FIRE IRONS AND CURB.

ing room should have light, elegant
structure and the bedrooms something
quite simple in character, The expense
Of real wood is considerable, and com
promise may be effected by having pine
stained to the color, which, il slillfully
managed, gives very much tho same ap.
pearance ut onc.half the cost. 1t is also
possible and advisable to have pine
mantelpiece painted to match the wood
work of the room, and in rooms where
white paint is to be used it is the best
way Of proceeding. The painted pine
mantelpiece is the most appropriate for
bedrooms, and for moderate sum we
may have it both well made aud pretty
in appearance. Tiles are another i'm
portart consideration. Too often they
are not sufficiently in harmony with the
wall paper, or they are covered with dis
torted figures Where it ia possible the
tiles should be Of the same tone az the
walls, or they should at least harmo-
nize.
With regard to curb and fire irons,
there is choice galore in brass, copper,
steel and wrought iron, all beautiful in
their way. In this labor saving age the
