| Few people can spell we'll nowadays
 and those who cannot are much encour-
 aged by the growing notion that accur-
 ate spelling doesn't amount to much. As
 there is nothing new under the sun so | it is not new to spell in a go-as-you- please way. Dr. c. W. Bowen of Ran dolph- Macon college points out that it was not long ago when spelling was
 even more varied and picturesque than | it Is now. Recede, for example, is found | in writings very few centuries old under the forms receed. receede or re- lceede--all equally good. Shakespeare
 had no fixed practice in spelling his name, but cultivated variety. Even as Hate as Washington's time much lati- tude was allowed to eminent statesmen in their treatment of King Georges lan-
 guage. The establishment of rules of spelling was, in fact, a gradual process,
 and the spelling of certain words, Dr.
 Bowen tells us, "has never really be-
 come fixed.' There are many words
 with respect to which the opinionated
 writer can take his choice and still stand well with orthoepists.
 The children in the modern schools
 are certainly initiating illustrious ex- Iamples in their spelling. And it is fair
 to say that occasionally the children furnish illustrious examples themselves.

This glamor of colonial religiosity is due to the natural tendency to glorify the past. irrespective of the historical facts of the case.
 This is decidedly interesting, and per- haps it is as true as most things are nowadays. It will give a chance for old inhabitants to remember what their grandfathers and grandmothers said about the matter, and what they said may shed some light on the situation.

Henry Bordewich, United States con- sul-general in Christiana, Norway sends the following to the State depart ment: Trials have been made in Nor way at different times and by different manufacturers to make use of reindeer hair for the manufacture of textiles. The fiber has been tried, both separ- ately and in connection with wool, but 1t has been found worthless for the pur- pose. Not even in the coarsest fabrics, such as door mats, rugs, inside soles in shoes, etc, is it available. The reason for this is it's brittleness. Every hair is diminutive cylinder. The only parts of the reindeer with different covering is the front of the head and the lower parts of the legs. The skin from these parts is used for shoe laces, caps and mittens The hair from the reindeer. is largely used in Norway in the place Of cork for filling in life belts, cushions and mattresses for use on board ships. The buoyancy of the hair is said to be greater than that of the best cork.

Panama, the new republic, has aI- ready it's coat of arms, showing an att tractive and comprehensive design. It consists of a shield surmounted by an eagle, in whose beak is the ribbon upon which is written the motto of the State: "Paz, Libertad, Union, Progresso" CtPeace, liberty, union, progress). Be- low, on the upper part of the shield, side by side, are the implements of war and of peaceful occupations. Below this, occupying the central place, is a land and water view, the site of the canal; the fruits of the harvest and a rushing train on track fill up the point of the shield. Flags drape it on either side, and stars surmount the eagle.

slough away another game to the
Champions. The visitors started out
well, securing a lead of three runs,
but they stopped sharp off, and even
Centralia could have defeated them
after the first inning.
st. Vrain was on the slab for the
autocrat, while Thielman and lberg
did the twirling for Dugdale. Errors
behind the pitcher, however, were
responsible for the loss of the game.
The Tigers dropped down a few
pegs in the batting column yester-
day. Doyle faced Dugdale's pitcher
FIVE times, but failed to connect safe
ly once. Sheehan did little better,
and Lynch, Hogan and st. Vrain were
negative quantities. Lynch was cut
off at the home plate for the hun
dredth time in the second, when a
fast base runner could have made
the station by mile. The score:
