OUR BAD COLLEGE SPELLING.

Much is said in tie papers about
college English The people within
and without college walls declare
that students write badly. But there
is a thing more fundamental than
their poor English style; it is the mat
ter Of their spelling. Many college
men, as proved by their essays, can
not spell They frequently make the
mistake Of Transforming writing into
writing, and Of dining into dining
an echo probably Of the noise Of a col.
lege dining-rOOm-
But poor spelling is not confined to
college students. College professors
are not free from the blame A let
ter lies before the writer in which the
distinguished head Of a most import
ant department in an American col
Iege declares that a certain candidate,
whom he has recommended as com
petant" A New England college pro-
fessOr has recently said that in max
ing applications for a place in Eng
lish several candidates wrote Of the
salery. OF course, also, q man may
lack culture and spell correctly. Spell
ing is more or less a matter OF an ar
bitrary bit Of knowledge. But what
ever may be the psychological rela-
lions Of the art, the schools should
teach boys and girls to spell By in
correct spelling the higher ranges Of
learning are rendered less impressive.

QUALITY OF PATRIOTISM.

A New York paper tells a story OF
a japanese cook When his mistress
spread a newspaper on the kitchen
floor, for cleanliness sake, he hastily
snatched it up and carefully busted it.
Upon being asked the reason he point
ed to a picture Of the MikadO and
said, in a voice fearful with pride:
MY King" The paragraph closed
with the extremely witty remark:
Wouldn't that make you laugh"
The person who wrote this would
doubtless approve Of a big placard
that may be seen on local biIlbOards
depicting the American flag waving
over a bottle OF a certain brand of
whisky, which is surrounded by typi-
cal veterans Of the Rebellion. We
might with advantage absorb a little
Of this japanese patriotism and rev
erence for the national emblem.-LOs

Pretty New ceIers

New cOlOTs are continually making
their appearance and many OF them
are very attractive. Onion is the name
given to one Of the new cOlors. It is
a creamy white tinged with gray and
green GOOseberry green is another
new shade, and pale blue and laven-
der combinations are quite as popu-
lar as they were last season. The
new shades and cOlors are a source
Of inspiration to milliners. For ex-
ample, q hat Of pale blue silk has the
crown covered with little enomines in
all shades Of lavender and knots OF
deep purple ribbon are the only other
trimmings. Orchids decorate pale blue
hats, and pansies in puppies and Law
enders embellish both light and dark
blue straWs.

DO WE EAT TOO MUcHf

Psychologists say that the Japa-

sique Of any race in the world Most
OF the diseases common to the Occi-
dent are unknown among the sub

condition they themselves attribute
to the fact that they eat sparingly
and only Of plain, nOBrishing food. A

CURLING LAWYERS vERsosrrY

court warns attorneys that the

enormous size Of the paper books
submitted to it tbs a warning per

sanctions, if it does not require, as
lawyers so often insist, is a source Of
infinite WEAKNESS to laymen. To

well worthy Of being passed along
down the line OF states It is not so

A pair Of lace medalliOns, left over
from the summer frOck, can be put to
excellent use in trimming stockings
to match the gown.
For instance, with a pongee gown
piped with lace medallions, a plain
pair Of tan Isle stockings were made
very smart by the use Of lace medal
lions, one just above each instep-
They were first appliqued on the
stockings with silk thread, in very
fine stitches, then the Isle beneath
was cut away, and the edges Of the
stocking buttOnhole stitched closely
and finely to the wrong side Of the
medallion. Worn with brown suede
shoes, they gave P dainty finishing

INTERNATIONAL QUESTIONS.

Every war brings 10 the front new
questions Of an international charac-
ter to be passed upon by the different
governments and to add new chap
tiers TO international law. Already
two such questions have been
brought out by the war between Rus
STA and Japan. One Of these involves
the treatment of the wireless system
Of telegraphy, the other the use Of
floating mines at sea. These are two
Of the new problems which the pres

theory that when Asiatics accomplish
anything striking it must be done
under the leadership Of a European,
but the japanese have upset all these
theories They have shown that skin

you that, after all, at q. it is hardly

CONSUMPTION as it is now practiced
in Europe is q modern development
Of the Roman military system, and
while it has been adopted in one or
another form by all, it has reached its
most drastic shape in France and
Germany. 1t was the terrible power
Of cOnscriptiOn that enabled NapO-
leon TO carry on the gigantic wars
which placed all Europe at his feet.
Prussia's ingenuity in evading the
hard conditions imposed upon her in

short term and reserve system"
was the foundation of the practice by
which entire populations pass under
military training, and by which Eu-
