did it ever strike you that the

first time in it's history? The Eng

OF course he hadn't half the stock.
1t was just that the scattered English

violation of the rules, It will be al

was student at Andoyer when Stuart
was a professor there, and by Rev Dr
Charles Ray Palmer and Judge Simeon

This Is the Record.

During the past three months Il great
many people residing in Waterbury
and vicinity have been benefited and
cured by the Radio Chemic physicians.
Many cured patients testify daily to
the merits of their treatments and
remedies. Their grand success is GER
tain and the permanency of their Local
ton here is assured. Many reports
have been circulated which were in
tended to shake the confidence of the
public in the X-Ray doctors. In spite
of the opposition of certain people who
are ignorant of the methods of the
Radios hemic physicians they have
made wonderful record for curing
difficult and distressing diseases. no
correct the many conflicting stories
circulated the following figures are
submitted. They indicate a wonderful
amount of good done in surprisingly
short time. In three months $3.50
people have been given an X-Ray ex-
animation by the Radio-Chemic physi-
clans; 4,973 have been treated for
some serious complaint; 421 have been
refused treatment as incurable; 1888
have been cured and there are at pres
'ent 2, 199 patients under treatment.
The X-Ray doctors point with pride to
their grand record of people cured by
their magnetic treatments and potent
vegetable remedies. Waterbury peo-
pie and those coming from a distance
obtain from these eminent specialists
skillful and scientific attention.

ABOUT SPELLING.

DIR Arnold Tompkins is profess
sor of pedagogy, but it is impossible
to learn whether he speaks in an of
fetal or Il private capacity when he
says that culture and good spelling
seldom go hand in hand. Besides
this he says in substance, but with
fault in grammar which we correct
as probably the fault Of the copyist,
that the higher the education the less
one cares about spelling. 1t is prob
ably true that those who know most
about the peculiarities of the English
language are more tolerant than 9TH
ers of mistakes in spelling, that is,
deviations from the forms recognized
by the dictionaries. But there are not
many highly educated people" who
are Indifferent to their own perform
! ance in this way Culture involves
a knowledge of the manner in which
those most familiar with the subject
do certain things. Besides this, good
spelling is to a certain extent a guar
antee of faithful and careful study,
and its lack usually indicates an in
difference to exact learning 1t is too
| much to say that one who cannot
spell ought not to write, but it sug-
gests part of the truth at least. 1t
would be interesting to know whether
IT 1oIhpklnS can Spell or not. we
have our misgivings. But it would
be unfortunate that what Mr. Squeers
always called "an instructor of youth
should be deficient in one of the three
Rs, and it comes pretty near that not
to be able to spell With reasonable ac-
curacy in these days when so much
mas been made of the art for good
many years. 1t is true that as high
an authority as the late Professor
Hadley used to say that he never liked
to speak of bad spelling, and preferred
to call 1t unusual spelling but he could
spell English himself; if the case had
been different we should probably
4 have heard less of his tolerance for
the eccentric ways of others in this
matter. Let us hope this is also the
case with the Chicago professor of
pedagogy Hartford Times.

In case one of the minor parties
should secure enough electoral votes
to prevent any candidate receiving a
majority of the college, the election
would be thrown into the present
house of representatives. In that
event, each state has one vote, the
majority Of the congressman from the
state deciding for whom the vote shall
be cast. In the same way the vice
president would be chosen by the SEN
ate, voting by ballot.
The present house of representa-
tives, before whom such a contested
election would be thrown, stands 2O7
republicans and 1T democrats, with
two or three vacancies. Voting by
states, the result would be % republi-
can to 10 democratic, the vote of
Rhode Island being tie. The present
senate stands 81 republicans and SO
democrats.
1t is interesting to note that in the
makeup of the electoral college the
four large states of New York, Penn
sylvania, Illinois and Ohio have 113
votes, or two more than twenty-five of
the smaller states.
Considerable speculation is heard as
to the total of the popular vote. This
will depend, of course, on the interest
taken in the contest. In 1892. it was
12,O59,351. In 1896 it sprang to the
phenomenal figures of 1923, 102, and
in 1900 was 13,959.673. A similar aver
age increase would put it well up to
the 100000 mark this year.
