A SPELLING REFORM
ANDREW TO HAVE A HAND IN
THIS TOO.
The New Movement for Simplifcation
of the English La1guage-For-
eigner's Difficulties-English
Universal Tongue.

When one reads that the indefat-
able Andy was up and at another phil
anthropy-or public benefit, or what
ever you may please to call it-one
laughed at this new form of Carnegie
energy, this new means of getting rid
of Carnegie superhuous wealth. And
then little questioning into the man
ner, and one thought that after all 1t
was not so ridiculous, that the new
movement was pretty carefully studied
out, had some very authoritative folk
backing it.
1t seems that several years ago Mr..
Carnegie remarked to somebody that
he believed the English language was
destined to become world language,
that world peace would be furthered
thereby; and the Scotchman with the
interests of the world occupying his
horizon, added he thought if our Ian
guage were simplified the time might
be fastened for its use as universal
tongue Several of those interested in
simplification heard of this remark OF
Mr. Carnegie's and sought opportunity
to discuss the matter fully. Mr.. car
negie promised to assist in a simplifi-
cation movement if the persons inter
ested could secure the signatures OF a
score of recognized authorities on
English to an agreement to use the
l. simplified words adopted in 1898 by
the National Educational association
Seven hundred names were secured,
and list of 80 was sent to Mr.. Car
negie. He concluded to make the Of
fer of $4,000 year for five years to
carry on a campaign for simplified
spelling. 1t is thought more money
will be forthcoming at the expiration
of this period if the experiment shall
have proven success.
Various efforts have been made
from time to time to reform English
spelling, which really is the abomina-
ton of complexity and inconsistency;
but ever the reformers were regarded
by the public as cranks or as those
attempting the palpa oily impossible.
The movement is of different char
acter; as Prof. Brander Matthews, of
Columbia university, puts it: Those
now working for a change in the way
of simplicity are "accelerators' rather
than "innovators." The changes sug-
gested but in line with those that have
been slowly making ever since our
inconsistent and unscientific orth-
ography," was inflicted. Prof. Mat
thews tells us English spelling as it
exists to-day, is a compromise ar
rived at by the printers and publishers
of London early in the eighteenth cen
fury, men ordinarily ignorant of the
history of the language" And then

share of the blame, DR.. Johnson with
his misleading dictionary.
So the reformers make declaration
of independence of printer and die
tionary maker, and they bid all schol-
ars and all sensible, hard headed bus
mess men join hands with them to do
away with our time-wasting ana i'm
possible word architecture. Statistics
are gathered to show the waste of time
of school boy and girl, of the waste in
business life, and this appeal is of the
kind to influence a large number OF
people. If the proposed reforms car
ry there will be an enormous saving
in press work, the price of books
very considerably reduced.
The words adopted by the National
Educational association in 1898 we
have become more or less familiar
with; they are program, tho, altho
thoro thorofare, thru, thruout, cata-
log, prolog, decalog, demagog and ped
agog. These have lost their strange
ness to many of us, and are blessedly
easy to write.
If the reformers succeed with the
English spelling, assuredly the Eng
lish school children shall rise uI
and call them blessed, the English
business man find his letter files
less bulky, the "outlander" looL
with more favor on the English
language.

Three FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

FTRsT.-That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements
of the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation in the stomach,
bearing down pains, nervousness, dig
illness and sleeplessness.
SECoND.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1T regulates, stree CITIZENS and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, infiam-
nation of the female organs, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
Invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
THIRD.-The great volume of unso-
1icited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb
Solute evidence of the value of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkziam's Standing Invitation
teWomen.--Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter.
in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for
twenty five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been adj
yising sick women free of charge Outot
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich OF
poor, is very foolish if She does not take
advantage of this generous offer Of
assistance.

An Nj. p. who WIN Be Missed.

Everything political in England is
not cut and dried, as is shown by the
career of Henry Labouchere, member
of parliament for Northampton, who
retires at the age of seventy -four, after
serving. with one or two short gaps,
since 1865. Labouchere, or Labby,
as he is Familiarity known, has been
conspicuous in politics and journalism
and to some people has been very
unpleasant person, because he hasn't
hes!tated to be on the unpopular side
and to speak or write the truth. His
London paper, Truth, is loyal to its
name and hits right and left.
Labby has always had opinions
and the courage to express them. He
was warm supporter Of Gladstone,
favored home rule for Ireland, asked
some awkward questions for the
Rhodes party as n member of the
jameson investigating committee and
took the side of the Beers in the late
war. His activities will be missed in
the new parliament, marked as they
were by fearless honesty, earnestness
and plain speaking.
