Miiady is very fond Of her two

peace, though Paddys back humps
aud her tail grows az large as mi.
lRdy's fur boa when he sees those
French bulldogs, says the 81. Louis

Paddy has no high pedigree. but he
Ia perhaps as high ia the favor of
milady as the two CANNES, due In a
measure 10 the old love which milady
bore 10 Paddy's grandmother. who
loved Ia romp and play when she was
a kitten.
Paddy and the Frrnch bulldogs have
peeuiiarities, aud that Ia the reason
this story Is written.
Paddy does not encroach upon the
territory Of the bulldogs, and the lat.
ter do not invade Paddy's baillwick.
but there Is neutral ground The
neutral ground Is the first floor OF
milady's home. Paddy rules the
basement and the subcrllar; the dogs
have the bedrooms. They sleep on
the beds and sofas and chairs in the
daytime, much to the disgust OF the
chambermaid
The interesting time comes when
miindy sits down az the piano and
plays selections from the masters.
The lively melodies set the tails of
the French bulldogs In whirl. The
tails spin numerous circles aa,- the
music rolls forth. The dogs are In

Later

Later returns show that the Re.
publicsns retain a working major
ity in Congress, but the Democrats
have cut their majority of As down
to about %. n considerable gain
for the Democrats. The present
Congress stands POI Republicans
and l56 Democrats; the next Con.
gress 204 Republicans and l70
Democrats, with three doubtful
districts. The outlook is that the
Republican majority in the Senate
will be cut down also. Ii stands
at present "a to 80, aud the new
Legislatures 10 elect Senators will
probably make it SO to 81.
More definite returns tend TO
largely increase the Democratic
plurality in Missouri. Secretary
Sam h. Cook places the plurality
at 40. 600, and j. NJ. Seibert at not
less than $4,000. The House Of
Representatives will have n Demo-

Under the new methods Of teach.
ing correct spelling appears to he IA
declining accomplishment. Re.
Gently l4l students from the pub
lie schools of New York took an
entrance examination in spelling
for the Northwestern University.
OF this number 81 missed 20 or
more words out of a list of $50
which was fairly selected without
special search for the unusual and
difficult. The comment of Prof.
Clark on the showing is; As long
as the word method of spelling il
taught in the public schools, just
so long will boys and girls enter
college unable to spell correctly. -
There is no roynl road to the ac-
complishment of correct spelling.
II is something that must be drilled
into the pupil, aud for this pur.
pose there is no better method than
the old one of having the boys and
girls stand up aud spell the words
as they are given out, properly di.
viding them on the syllables; or
having them write the words on
slate or tablet, then have the pu-
pills exchange states and spell the
words and mark the misspelt ones |
1t is remarkable how many pOorl
spoilers there are even among
teachers. A piece of manuscript |
Of a College president recently |
came under our observation. aud
we were surprised to note the many
misspelt words il contained. |
Among them the simple word ty-
rant was spelt ''tirent +" Such
things are a disgrace, aud are
largely due to the so called word"
spelling system in vogue in pres
ant-day teaching. There is mach
10 be commended in the improve
meuts in pedagogical, but spelling
Is not one Of them. Better col
back 10 the old method. even IL II Il
g sort Of drudgery for the teach
&c aud takes time and patience.
,orrect spelling is principal stone |
n the foundation Of a good eduea-
ion. and II should be carefully |
nd firmly laid.
