The Smelling Lesson.

The following illustration of a child's
spelling lesson and her apt conclusion in
regard to the photography of the English
language is taken from the New York
Times:
"Spell toes" said the mother, who was
teaching her little daughter, years old,
to spell.
"T.o-z g" answered the child.
"No, dear, that's not right. Toes
spells toes
"But it sounds like t-o-z-e"
~ know it, but you cannot go by the
sound"
Then, in order to enforce the PROPOSE
tion the mother called upon her daughter
to spell froze
"F-r-o-e-s," said the child.
"No; your wrong again. This time
we do use the and spell the word
fr-o-z-e."
"Huh" exclaimed the child.
"Now spell rose, said the mother.
The child hesitated. Finally she said,
81 don't know whether to say r-o-z-e or
r-o-e-s"
"Spell It ROSE" said the mother,
"though there is another word pronounced
Just like it that's spelled r-o-e-s. That
word is the name of the spawn of fishes "
The child looked perplexed.
"Just one word more, +" said the mother
"Tell me how you spell blows"
"Well, I" said the little girl, who had had
quite enough nonsense as she viewed it,
from her mother and had suddenly made
up her mind to pay back in kind, ~ spell
it three ways. spell it b-l-o-s-e for break
fast, b-l-o-e-s for dinner and b-l-o-ze for
supper"
~ spell it blows" said the mother.
The child was silent for minute as II
wrapped In thought; then, looking up, she
solemnly remarked, II think, mamma,
that the English language was made for
persons very, very well educated"

A Big Price For a Ride.

In The Century there is an article on
"The River Trip to the klondike" by
John Sidney Webb. The author says of
his trip to the mines:

Archbishop Temple.

Speaking of Archbishop Temple IN
fine Lambeth conference, The st. James
Gazette says: ut is we'll known that
the utmost good feeling and unanimity
prevailed at that historic gathering, but
it is not perhaps surprising that some
of the exotic prelates were at first a 1T
tie astonished at the blunt, plain spoken
straiehtforwardness Of the archbishop.
No doubt sometimes their lordships
were told exactly what they had to do
and how they were to do it with an ab
sence of circumlocution which was en-
tirely new to them, and one OF the
American bishops summed up his feel
ings upon the perhaps rather more than
military decision of the present successor
of st. Augustine in highly successful
epigram. Il love that old man, he SAID,
with the characteristic Yankee draw
which even bishops upon the other side
Of the Atlantic rarely quite lose, bus

Can't Tell Their Husbands Apart.

Jim Hisey, aged AZ, is a prosperous
grain dealer in Yale. He has a wife,
two sons and daughter. Will Hisey,
aged 4S, his brother, lives at Sparta.
He is also married. The two men are
twins, and all through life have been
the living duplicates of each other. So
near alike are they even their wives
cannot tell them apart. They dress
alike, their voices are alike and their
hair and mustaches have the same color
and curls. When boys, they had to be
tagged so that their parents and teach
ers would know the difference. When
Jim gets crick in the back, Will is
liable to have the same complaint, and
when Will gets the rheumatism Jim al
so gets it precisely in the same place.
They were formerly both engaged in the
milling business and served an appren-
ticeship under the same man. They
were born in western Ontario, their
parents being Jacob and Betsy Hisey.
Jim's wife has only one way in which
she can tell her husband from his broth
er. He has slight curve in one of his
fingers, which has to be held up in full
view. Then he must give a password
before he il received into full fellowship
of the home circle. Many amusing in
stances Of mistaken identity are told of
the two. Detroit Tribune.

wawl,ns, wowiing. Caterwauling.

The word "wawling" and its variants
"wewling" and "wowling" are fairly
common in modern folk speech. Up here
in Northumberland we have 1t "wowl-
ing;" in Bucks and Oxon / have heard
both "wawling'' and "wewling" applied
to the plaintive or wailing cry of little
children. When the English Dialect
Dictionary" extends to "W," Professor
Wright will no doubt show the range and
nuanoes of the term, as he has already done
with "bell" and "belling." Shakespeare
makes use of "wawl" once at least. See

tells Gloster:

The Triumph Of Danny.

Several years before the discovery Of

Oarthy and his son Dan came to this
country from the Emerald Isle. Dan
was young man of 30, but his father
looked upon him as q mere boy and
seemed to take delight in ridiculing
him before people.
"Yis Dan is d good by" he would
say sarcastically, "bnt, Danny, me by,
yez'll niver set the river ON fire.
This was his stock witticism, and it
annoyed Dan very much, but he did his
best and soon surprised the old gentle.
man by securing lucrative job.
"Yis, Danny has a job all right" no
said. "It's $3.50 day, but the b'y'll

When oil was found at Pithole, Dan

A few days later q food wrecked one

GODS LITTLE GIRL.

She left her home in the starry ways
And reached our arms in the April days.
We thought to keep her and hold her here,
And our little girl we called the dear.
One pleasant eve when the sun had dipped
Out of sight, and the stars had slipped
Silently back to their wonted ways,
She turned her face with a wistful gaze
Up to the blue Of the arching skies.
We knew by the look In her pretty eyes
And the smile that frightened her small
face SO
1t was time for Gods little girl to go.
A kiss we dropped on her curly head.
HSweet little heart, goodbyi" we said.
Then unafraid, though the way was dim,
Gods little girl went back TO him.
