Hal Spelling IA Brain Disease.

A medical authority claims that bad
spelling is caused by disease. In GER
tain conditions of brain and nerves the
patient frequently writes "ot" instead
of "to." In another slightly varying
form, instead of the" the first letter
is omitted, and so in many other short
words. The malady usually affects the
brain only in connection with words Of
one syllable, but cases have occurred
where longer words have been so dis
torted that it was difficult to get their
sense. 1t is a question whether one
would be comforted by being told that
bad spelling was caused by mental dis
ease, or whether one would prefer to
have this lack of accuracy set down to
ignorance or carelessness. That is not
always proof of defective education is
quite. certain.-Pbiladelphia Ledger.

was a plain case that they had gold as
most other people had iron, and they
used it for bullets, and that night they
must have shot away $1,000 worth,
counting what went into our timbers
and the men that we lost. Nobody could
tell how much they had fired at game

there wasn't any reason for believing
that the island wasn't full of ii, and the
fool natives didn't know any more what
II was than to trade it off to us by the

indians, but not the kind of greasy
cid women, with fed shawls over their
stout shoulders Jhd odors more numer-
Gus than pleasant emanating from their
bodies. 4 pictufe of the Tarratine type
hangs in the reception room of the Tar
latinc club in Bangor, and is dedicated
to the red arH unwrinkled dame who
posed for it Molly Moasses-who died
at the modeft age of 1870 years, accord

There are jother squaws as dark of
skin, eyes and hair, but graceful, self
possessed agile in movement, fluent in
speech, and who speak pure English.
Prominent among this class is Mrs.
Martha Nicolar, of Old Town or, more
properly speaking, of Indian island.
She is the wife of one of the leading
men of his tribe, Horace Nicolar and Is
the first president of the Wa-ba-na-ki
club, of which a dozen of her Tarratine
sisters form the membership.
Mrs. Nicolar, the clubs first presi-
dent, is n descendant of high Indian
blood, while her husband comes from
equally pure Tarratine stock. The Soc
cabasins came straight down from old
Peter SOCIALISM,, who, at the age OF
1O6, wandered away from the island and
persisted in the great north woods be-
fore he could be found 10 Nicolar, an
other father of club women, was the
historian of his tribe and constant
opponent of marriages between girls
of the tribe and white men. In spite
of him the young folks have welded
where they would, and some OF the
white blood is in the Wa-ba-na-k club
to-day. This club will do great work
for its tribe. Its first purpose is the
establishment of an Industrial school
on Indian island, and they will hold a
sale soon in which their own handi'
work will go to swell the fund which Ii
to be put into the new institution. The
club members have deep appreciation
of their mission. They are fully awake
TO the need of reforms in the socia
conditions of their people. Besides set
, ting the club work a-going in the tribe
! these women will apply themselves tt
Q the collection of the history of the Tar
c ratines.
