For Nature Students.

William Archer, the English critic,
said at one of the meetings of the re-
formed spelling board in New York:
81 have been rather surprised, here
in the states, at the general ignor-
ance of what we spelling reformers
are trying to do. Our aims are not
at all understood. We have no idea
of going to such ludicrous extremes
as many people think
''In fact, the average mans idea
of reformed spelling is a good deal
like the two young women's idea of
animal anatomy.
"'What part of the animal does
the chop come from?' asked the first.
Is it the leg?'
"'Oh, not at ALL said the other,
laughing. The leg! how ridiculous.
1t is, of course, the jawbone. Have
you never heard of animals licking
their chops?' New York Tribune.

Nephews of Mrs. Harris, OF Cincinnati
Will Contest Her Will.

Cincinnati, Aug. 29.-The will of
Mrs. Catherine Harris, who left near
ly half million dollars to q half
brother residing in Topeka Kan, is to
be contested by her nephews. it was
announced Wednesday.
Mrs. Harris Was the widow Of Col.
Leonard Harris, former mayor and in
ternal revenue collector and a strong
political leader, and managed her
own estate.
The appraisers reported Wednesday
that no part Of the estate is taxable,
that it does not own a single bit Of
bad paper, real estate nor a bond. A
remarkable fact in connection with
this estate is that it does not yield a
cent of taxes for the public treasury,
as Mrs. Harris bad invested only in
non-taxable stocks and in securities
that stood far above par.

and then went to Derby, England. 1t
was while at the latter place that ne
made his first appearance as an actor,
filling the role of Shylock in class-day
