The Mysteries of Spelling.

1t is said that the Russians are the
greatest of modern linguists, for the sim
pie reason that their own language is so
difficult that once having mastered it, all
other tongues are child play. But sure
ly English spelling can not be outdone in
its contradictions by any language upon
either continent The Philadelphia Times
says:
English Is one of the hardest languages
in the world for a foreigner to master
This is due to its wants of analogy, to the
varying and sometimes directly opposite,
signiication of some Of its words, and to
sameness of sound given to many different
letters
You have all heard, perhaps, of the
! labyrinth of bewilderment into which the
word fix, led Frenchman; and of the
Italian who said that he would squeeze
Il certain man to consent to something, not
being able to appreciate the nice distinc
tion that we make between that word and
press or urge.
Here is striking Illustration of the con
fusion caused in a young mind-and it
would be the same in that of foreigner
by the sameness of sound to which We
have referred:
Spell toes, said the mother, who was
teaching her little seven year old daughter
to spell
"T-o-z-e," answered the child.
N, l.,r tI,t'. n,t riylt II n a
spells toes
But it sounds like t-o-z-e"
Il know it, but you can not 60 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, you re wrong again. This time
We use the and spell the word f-r-o-z-e, -
.Huh = exclaimed the child
Now spell rose, said the mother
The child hesita,ed Finally she said,
Il don 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 : spelled r-o-e-s. That is
the name of the spawn of fishes
The child looked perplexed.
Just one word more, said the moth
er, Tell me just how you spell blows. -
Well. said the little girl, who had
quite enough nonsense, as she viewed it,
from her mother, and had suddenly made
up her mind to pay back in kind, II spell
it three ways spell it b-l-o-s-e for
breakfast, b-l-o-e-s for dinner, and b-l-o-z-e
for supper.
Il spell it blows, said the mother.
The child was silent for minute as if
wrapped in thought then looking up, she
solemnly remarked
Il think, mother, that the English Ian
guase was made for persons very well ed

A Lamp of Mercy.

In the courts of Venice, when pris-
oner is about to be condemned to death, a
tall and ghostly looking individual dressed
in black gown, walks majestically to the
centre of the courtroom, bows solemnly to
the Judges and in a caveruouS voice pro-
nounces the words, Remember the bak-
er Then he bows again and stalks
away
Just three hundred years ago baker
was executed in Venice for a crime of
which he was not guilty. When his in-
nocence was established the judges who
condemned HIM gave a sum of money to
the city, the interest on which was to be
devoted to the setting up and perpetual
burning Of lamp, known as the lamp of
expiation. in the Palace of the Doges
And SO, to this day, before criminal is
condemned to death, the ghostly looking
official enters the court, and in sepulchral
voice warns the judges that human justice,
unlike the divine, is liable to error, and
that the innocent were sometimes con
demned in place of the guilty
