(From the Boston Herald.)

Spelling reform Is no new kink. The fact is
recalled that ever since the twelfth century we
have been scolded for pronouncing words in one
way and spelling them in another The first
former a monk Of the north Of England,
called Ormin. This monk composed long
ligious poem and wrot- it in spelling of his
own. whereby he hoped to indicate its pronun-
citation beyond mistake The 1000 lines of hero
gyphics which lie has left long sup

The Finger NniIs.

IN days when superstition was more
prevalent than it is now the shape and
appearance of the finger nails were
considered to have reference to ones
destiny. To learn the message Of the
finger nails it was necessary to rub
them over with Il compound Of wax
and SCOT and then to hold them so that
the sunlight fell fully on them. Then
on the horny, transparent substance
certain signs and characters were sup
posed to appear from which the future
could be interpreted. Persons, too,
having certain kinds of nails were cred
itcd with the possession Of certain
characteristics. Thus Il man with rcd
and spotted nails was supposed to
have hot temper, while pale, lead COL
orcd nails were considered to denote 4
melancholy temperament. Narrow nails
were supposed to bctray ambition and
il quarrclsomc nature, while round
shaped nails We're the distinguishing
marks OF lovers OF knowledge and peo-
pie OF liberal sentiment. Conceitcd,
narrow minded and obstinate folk were
supposed to have small nails, indolent
people llcshy nails and those Of 4 gen
tic, retiring nature broad nails.

One Was Enough.

That illustrious astronomer, Profess
or Simon Newcomb, in an article on
"Science and the Government" in The
North American Review, gives an
amusing instance Of the ignorance even
of the most prominent politicians re-
garding the work Of the greatest scieQ-
fists:
ut is said that some 80 years ago tho
British academy had printed few cop
les of an important work for presenta-
ton to some foreigners who, from their
prominence in the scientific world, were
best entitled to be honorcd with the
gift. Professor Airy, the astronomer
royal, was requested to make selec-
ton of the names. 4 few days after
he had sent in his list he was Informed
by the secretary Of the admiralty that
my lords were struck by the number
of unknown names included and that
they wished to make an inquiry on the
subject. Airy asked the secretary for
some specifications as to the names re-
ferred to.
"Well, as an example, said tho sec
retary, here is the name of Professor
G. T.. Gauss Of Gottingen. WHO is hes'
":.:Gauss is one of the greatest math-
ematicians of the age and stands
among the two or three most eminent
masters in physical astronomy now liy-
ing. Who else do you wish to know
about?
No one else. That will do replied

The Arabs Little Game.

In The Agricultural Journal of the
Cape Of Good Hope appears an article
on the vitality Of wheat from Egyptian
mummy cases. 1t is often asserted that
samples Of wheat from the same crop
as that which Joseph stored in Pha-
rnol's sranarics has been taken from
mummy wrappings and, when planted,
has grown. This is very likely erro-
ncOus, as the Arabs have habit Of
selling to tourists samples Of grain
which have in all likelihood come from
the nearest field instead Of from the
ancient tonbs. Indeed in many in-
stances this "mummy grain" has been
corn, and, as corn was not known until
it was brought from America, the
fraud is apparent
