During Lord Roberts tour in South

on his seventy-second birthday, and
the people Of that city presented him
with a pair Of diamonds. One Of the
"siege babies" a boy Of four years.
made the presentation speech. During
the siege Of Kimberley by the Beers
about fifty babies were born. Lord
Roberts had his photograph taken in
the midst Of the 'siege babies" on the
steps Of the town hall. Most of the
Siege babies" bear names recalling the
war. Thus. while French" Butler"
'Methuen,' .Bobs" and "Kekewich"
were used, Rhodes" was even more
frequently used. and "Siege" seems to

a Defsnse In . London Paper -
American Spelling.
A United States citizen of consider.
able scientific attachments was good
enough to give to a representative Of
the Daily Graphic what may be called
the American view of British spelling.
II ses," he remarked, that some Of
the correspondents Of the Daily Graph.
70 have been complaining Of the dis.
dgurement Of English books by Ameri-
can spelling. I should like to tell you
that we think our way is right and
that your way Is wrong, and perhaps
your editor will not mind II l venture
on a few remarks In defense Of our
corrections. For example, we write
favor and honor Well, favor and
honor are nearer the Latin original
than favour and honour which have
acquired their unnecessary VI by CON-
ing through the French"
"But II they have been spelled hon
our and favour for centuries, why
change them nowY
"Why not? They were as often SPELL
ed favor and honor in S~hakespeare's
day as favour and honour You must
remember that spelling was extremely
uncertain in those E%lizabethan days,
whence we are believed to have drawn
the well of English indebted. Ben
Jonson and Shakespeare, for example,
spell 'recede' in four other ways-'re.
cead,' 'receade.' 'receed,' 'receede.'"
~ stT ~ 20 loorn Nhn~1,,~S uo-x II
defend '%centerT"
why should you spell it i11ihtre'
when you write 'perimenter' ana tdi-
ameter' and when Shakespeare wrote
'scepterY By history and analogy cen.
ter is more easily to be justified than
centre Then again." continued the
United States citizen, warming up to
his subject you write 'criticise,' and
we write criticize but our version
harks back to the Greek original; you
write almanac but why don't you
write 'almanack,' which Is more ar
chaic? You blame us for program but
you put down dram without q scruple.
Many English people write tyre for
tire which any phililogist knows to
be a gross error, and almost every Eng.
lishman, for no reason whatever, writes
Wagon instead of wagon You
know what Horace Greeley said when
he was %reproached for making that
mistake. He said he had been taught
spelling in the good old times, when
people built Wagons heavier."-Lon-
don Graphic.

TOM SHERIDAN.
1hs handsome, Witty and Spoiled
Son of Richard Brinsley.

Son of Richard B~rfnsley.
At the ast orner OF Bolton street
(now 81 Ficcadilly) there iourished
when the nineteenth century was still
young a club devoted to dandyism, d.
ners de luxe and high play, or, to speak
cynically, the ruin Of mind, body and
estate. 1t was called Walters. Its
presiding genius, OF perpetual presi-
dent" was Beau Brummel, famous for
his cravats, his quarrel with the prince
regent and his phenomenal good luck
at the then fashionable game Of ma
Gao. One evening he found the gam
Ing table so full that there was no
room for him, but seated there was q
friend of his whom he knew to be too
poor to play for the e%xtravagant stakes
affected by the habitues and who prob
ably would not have been there at all
but for the rosy influence Of a good
dinner with plenty of Wine. After a
word or two the friends changed
places, and before long Brummel rose
the richer by f1,5OO. This sum he
faithfully shared with his friend, say.
Ing, There, Tom, go home and give
your wife and brats n supper and play
no more" The action was kindly and
the advice good, and, though the words
lacked somewhat respect, the pill vas
well gilded. Tom was the handsome,
witty, spoiled son of Richard Brinsley
Sheridan. OF Tom it has been said
that he was endowed with all the wit
Of his father, all the charm of his moth
er and the good looks Of both. Few
men seem to have been more universal
ly liked, and when George Colman
wrote, II love and esteem Tom Sherl-
dan heartily and wish success to any
scheme In which he is interested" he
only expressed a general sentiment.
A few specimens of Toms wit have
been preserved. None is better than
a reply to his foolishly indulgent ia
ther when demonstrating with him for
some imprudence. The father ended
by saying, "Why, Tom, my father
would never haye permitted me to do
such a thing" whereupon Tom replied
in a tone Of assumed indignation, "Sir,
would you dream Of comparing your
father to miner Longman's Maya
zine.

Q matter of absorbing amusement and
attention. for it entails a thread gath
