Cbe Passing of Cwo Old- -Cime Favcrites

Federation teaches spelling. One of the strongholds of power of the old "Blue-back Speller," was the artfully contrived columns of words, whereby reiteration was easy. I have known many a spelling lesson to be studied over in the "blue-back" days more than a hundred times, duly counted. before tine recitation. Every faithful votary at the blue-back shrine could, at the end of the session, safely claim to know every word in the book. All the "th"es and the 'ph's and the "ei's" and the "ie"s were firmly fixed in the mind forever to remain. No s" had a chance to masquerade as a "c" or It" with any of those earnest disciples. nor could an "a" slip in to do duty for an absenting "e." From ''bad" and had" the caravansary would onward to 'Indivisibility' and "incomprehensi- bility." with military exactness and without mercy to the incapable.
 Good spelling was the rule whenever Websters blue-back spelling book had right of way. This faithful bri- gade major who long and successfully drilled American youth into good spelling, deserves to be held In eternal remembrance,

Of the Wonderful Remedy Science Has
 Given to Their Sex.
 Women everywhere are talking about Feminala. Especially those who have felt its matchless virtues.

 Nothing for such diseases now known to medical science will afford more speedy relief. nor in greater number of instances permanently cure. than Feminala. and it is not only natural but highly desirable. that one woman should tell another of its marvellous beneficial and curative powers.

Better than a savings bank, because you will not check on 1t when some little need for money arises. Banks pay 8 per cent, diamonds fully 10 per cent a year.
