told that for twenty years past she
has not visited her next neighbor.
She cannot even be induced to visit
one of her daughters who was mar

In 1889 the Swedish academy pub
l'shed Il list Of words to show how
they should be spelt. Shortly after
wards royal rescript recommended
that spelling to the public educators.
But since that time the king has re-

reformed spelling in school, and at the

the same service as the coal fields of
England and other countries.

to cut down the value of the property
to modest fraction of the above
amount.
