Reformers Congratulated.
BROOKLYN Eagle.

The real arbiters of popular SPELL
ing are the newspaper offices, where
compositors and proof readers spell &C
cording to certain rules laid down.
Each office aims to be uniform through
all it's departments, but there is a
wide divergence among the newspa-
pers Of the country, each adopting
such simplifications as appeal to it's
editors. Many of the simplificatiOns
urged by this committee are already
in very general use. We congratulate
the spelling reformers. Their latest
convert is a trump card, indeed. Last
week they were laughed at as faddists,
Next week they can proclaim their
style" as the official spelling of the
United States government, or, at least,
of a part of it so militant and ag-
gressive that other departments will
be driven to Carnegie themselves
for the sake of a quiet house.

We Are Moving Rapidly.
Wall Street Journal.


Modern commerce carried on by
banks and corporations, has indeed de-
veloped new modern sins of a type
not known to our forefathers. But,
how marvelously sensitive has become
the modern conscience to those new
sins, how quick the disclosure, how
swift the condemnation by public
opinion.
If ever you are overwhelmed in pes
simism by the muck rake revelations
open the books of history and biogra-
ply. Study the conditions existing
when your father and his father, and
fathers father lived Take note of
how much better off you are than your
ancestors, and then do your part to
make the world still better for those
who come after you. Remember, also,
how fast progress is made nowadays.
The Thousand years that are as one
day" have become as even one hour.

The Game of the sheen.

Among the gypsies of Bosnia there
IS a curious game called ''the game Of
the sheep"
You know they skin sheep or goat
in the east by dragging the skin off
whole over its head. This skin the
Bosnians drip and grease most care
fully. Then they tie up the four legs
and the neck and blow it full of air, so
that it looks like very greasy, badly
shaped sheep. This is thrown in the
middle of ring, and each man in turn
jumps on it with bare feet until one
succeeds in bursting it, The lucky one
then gets purse. Such a funny sight
as it is to see them jump and sprawl,
for of course if they do not strike it at
just the right angle they slip on the
greasy surface as if it were a toboggan
slide and go sprawling.

that the Oldest trade routes were Gre

A story of Edwin Forrest,

Edwin Forrest, the great actor, was
at Columbus, O., ON one of his tours.
1t was in the railroad station at mid
night. 1t was cold, bleak, biting wealth
er, and the old fellow hobbled up and
down the platform, but there was mai
esty even in his very hObble An IN
dertaker's wagon pulled up at the sta
ton and a corpse was removed from
it. The baggageman carelessly hustled
the body into his dray and wheeled it
down the platform. As he halted. old
Forrest broke out into the most hor-
rible cursing and with his tongue lash
ed the baggageman for his careless
handling of the human clay. Then he
turned, approached the corpse and
broke into the Grafton of Mark Antony
over the body Of Caesar. No one was
there but the frightened baggageman
and a handful of actors. The great
actors voice rose and fell and the sub
tie tears and resolute thunder of the
Grafton awoke the echoes Of the station
as a grand organ in majestic cathe-
dral. He read every line Of the grafton
and said in an aside speech as a climax:
There. take that, you poor clay In the
coffin. I'll be dead myself inside a
year." And he was.

During the reigns of William Rufus,

continued in spite of the maledictions
