Principal Robinson Discovers Where
His Pupils Are Deficient.
Principal Robinson has just found out
that the students of the Central high
school do not know how to SPELL. He Is,
therefore. preparing to give them thor
ough drilling, and. as a result there is
an unusual rush for dictionaries and
spelling books among the students.
The principal noticed some time ago
that many Of the papers submitted by the
students contained misspelled words. To
test the ability of the classes as a whole,
he gave them a hundred simple words
to spell, and the showing made. accord
ing to the principal, was far below ex
pectations. He now proposes to take rad
ical action. He has already organized
one spelling class and will organize 9TH
ers if necessary. The entire school will
be examined in spelling every montl,
from now on.

The special committee, Howard

of the opinion that the price asked both
for gas and arc lighting IS too high, but
as the gas company is alone in the field
nothing can be done.
As retaliatory measure for the high
price maintained for gas. it was pro-
posed to substitute large numbers of in
candeseent gasoline: lamps for many Of
the gas lamps. but as the price is the
same. 500 per lamp, no saving could be

The manila market is unsettled and.
there is a disposition among twinc man

the general to the Saltwater Gazette. In
dications are that the manila fiber trust

Gen. Reeve studied the situation with
considerable care. There is no indica-
ton yet as to what the tendency in
prices will be for twine or materials.
At present the state prison is making
mixed Irvine and it is possible that
pure manila Irvine viii be made here If
the prices for raw materials rule lower.
Eastern factories guard their factories
with sufficient care to keep outside
people from learning much about their
methods, a policy different from that
pursued at the prison here where any
one may inspect the manufacture of

THE CARE OF THE FEET.

Those having the care of children should realize the absolute necessity of providing them from earliest infancy with the right kind of shoes. Shapely, unblemished, natural feet are to-day the exception to the rule in either sex, prin- cipally instead of being properly clothed when growing, the feet were thrust ''in- to any old thing" somewhere near the right size without regard to fit, shape or material and to the infants feet, soft and delicate in structure and yielding easily to the slightest pressure, has brought ir- retrieveable injury and in many cases amounting to serious deformities. Fit" ting shoes is an art. The c. H. Bennett Shoe Co. of Bridgeport seem to have mastered it. They say, "You bring the feet and they will do the rest" They sell the proper shoes for you, when walking or on the bicycle. See their ad- Yertisement.

bought him for service. I am afraid Neighbor Taylor has not read all the edi- torials, pro and con, as to the natural gait of the horse, I was not behind pac- ing gun, but rather in front of some able editorials, from which I took my sug- gestion. We do not judge of the natural gait of the horse from present observa- tions, all the horses in existence during the historical period are really consider ed in large sense, very modern. The horse had existed probably many years before there were any historical records. The geological records are many times older than the historical records and dur ing that period his gait was either form ed or forming.
 MT Taylor says there are two kinds of pacers, the trottiDg bred snd the thor ouehbred pacer, but the trotting Ebred pacer is the best as his legs do not have
 to be tied together. Now let's see, am not gong to take space to argue the
 hopple question, as we all know that 8
 few breeders, who were preiudiced against them, tried to abolish their use,
 but they soon found they could not do
 so and today the hopples are admissible
 at all tracks. I will just take one case
 to see how Neighbor Taylor's theory stands. Star Pointer, the fastest light harness horse in the world, the only horse that ever drew 8 sulky better than two minutes. He is a thoroughbred pacer because he has no trotting blood
 and has lots of thoroughbred blood. Now
 his legs were not tied together and as tc
 his action, well, think that's all right too. If he will name faster trotsiDR bred pacer then I will think better of his argument. Thoroughbred blood has been much more potential with the pacers than with the trotters. It is g singular fact that while the cross of the thoroughbred in the trotter frequently results in the destruction, more or less complete, of the trotting procliYity, that the same cross in the pacer does not gen. orally result in the same way. In case of cross between the pacing and thor
 oughbred, the gait of the pacer general. ly predominates and this sort of crosG
 is usually great deal more successful
 than that between the trotter and thor
 ouGhbred. This is fact that has long 5 been discovered aud acted upon by prac. tical breeders,-LC. G. P.
