That Smelling Reform.

To the Editor of Journal and Courier
 That the spelling reform is a long, strong and glorious leap forward in the right direction, many will admit unhes- itatingly. It Is strange how anyone can think otherwise, London Standard included; and President Roosevelt and MT. Carnegie are to be congratulated on making pillar of themselves of energy and common sense in the mat ter and will make a monument unto themselves that will not soon crumble or fall, we trust, by uniting in the effort of reform.
 Scholarly and cultured Americans sacrificing the history and the meaning of the language? Yes! let us hope they will!
 Orthography and etymology to the wind, inthis spelling reform! They have been burdensome enough. We are living In the twentieth century. and want to drop all the burdens we can, and we should be proud that Americans are in the lead along all lines, and that the load of useless letters in her lam guage is no longer to be forced into the education of her children as 1t has been in the past, because no ono had tho requisite energy and common sense to arise before, and say 1t should rot be done.
 Think of the long years in which We have known the shaekles of abjec. slavery in the matter of sp9Nlhg. md of the sighs and grolas of ihe mil- lions that have been heard tnroukh il; then, of the joy of the children of com ing generations who will escape It.
 There is scarcely another lesson in tho schoolroom that holds so much of dread in it for the child as spelling; but teachers and scholars alike must submit alike to the arbitrary rules of the forefathers, the one to jam and the other to be crammed with all the meaningless uselessness of just SC many letters in a word, anyhow and believe a strain has been put upon many a child that has remained through long years from just that cause alone.
 How refreshing it will be when we can spell tugglng without Juggling in that extra g, for instance; and the countless other such useless letters in other words.
 To think that the little child of the future witt never have to grapple with that rulo again is joy.
 it Is not always the namoer of let iers in a word that makes 1t dli1oult but the useless cramming them in when the sound does not In the least or renotest way call for them, but because our old forefathers said they I ust be the:e, and there they have tc go If the brains burIt to get then there, and because 1t Is, or was, called rule of pure good English,
 Take for another example the word ncomprehenslbility- word of nine teen letters, and yet each letter is 8 star, and the whole glowing constel- lation. because they follow each other in common sense way, and are as musical as the waters of a singing brook. And why not make all words as musical, and 1 think they will bt when this glorious reform gets into th' nation, and that blessings will descend upon the heads of the great plonee champions of the movement, Roosevelt and Carnegie.

 The Japanese are showing their smartness and greatness in every pos sible way. Therefore it is not surpris- ing to read that they are more and more appreclating Woman. They have apparently come to the conclusion that women make better teachers than men, Fifteen years ago the women preparing for the profession of teaching in Japan were ol'ly twenty per cent. of the total number. To-day they constitute eighty five. The demand for women as in- structors is much greater than that for men The number of girls who receive a regular education is eight times what it was a decade ago There is also an ever-increasing invasion of business of fees; in some of the largest houses in Tokio and other cities most of the clerks are now women.
 This movement does not indicate that the women of Japan have suddenly be- come fnannish. They have from time immemorial done the hardest kind of drudgery, such as weaving, coal-heav- ing and tilling the soil. Now they are getting up where they belong, and where they will shine. And if they can drive the Japanese man back where he belongs they will be in line with their progressive western sisters.

HARD TO TELL.

If we only knew when to get scared! Right after the San Francisco earth quake pr. Frederick Becker, of the United States Geological Survey, point ed out that the faults of the formation of the western coast of North Ameri- ca were characteristic of the western coast of the Southern continent, and that earthquakes would, in all serious probability, follow along the line of the belt of the faulty formation. It was the suggestion of one in all respects authorized to speak on the subject, but it didn't attract much attention.
 The observers in charge of the Chil- can Naval observatory predicted the visitation of the earthquake two full days before Valparaiso and other Chill can cities and towis were wrecked, with a loss of life far in excess of the loss of life in the greater city of San Fran cisco. Not only was the prediction made, but it was published in the news papers of Valparaiso and Santiago The public had full warning, but not one of the thousands of citizens availed hinself of the warning, and not one fled for safety.
 It is hard to tell when to get scared. The end of the world has been predict ed so many times without arriving that predictions of minor disasters don't get full credit.

A florist in Fairmont, West Virginia, gets heat and cold from the same mine. In the engine room of his plant tun- mel 4x4 feet leads into a coal mine. It is provided with track and train of cars, and thirteen cars of coal are knined by the engineer every day for the boiler. In this same tunnel is the cold forage plant. Not one pound of ice is ised by the florist, yet flowers go to the customers in perfect condition. The ex- cavated chambers of the mine furnish ideal cold storage. The little railroad runs through the greenhouses and fur nishes transportation facilities for this department. The temperature is never less than 45 degrees, never more than AS degrees, and does not vary much at any season. Cut flowers will keep perfectly for thirty days here.

Crowds Watch the Carriages.
Up to II o'clock there was little to

which by this time was quite dense.
One of the first carriages to arrive
