IN THE DAYS OF sASSAFRAS.

A man in Joplin, Mo-, says that he has lived to be 92 years old by drink ing sassafras tea.
 We have lived in Missouri ourself, and, worse than that, we have tasted sassafras tea. We don't envy the Joplin gentleman in the least. Our father always liked sassafras tea that is, he always liked for us to take 1t. He said it thinned the blood in the spring. Then he would catch us. hold both of our hands, and proceed to thin our blood.
 He would pour the tea down our throat and hold our nes until we had to breathe and swallow it. We would yell at the top of our voice and tell him we would rather have blood like molasses than take any more of that tea, but he would only reach for an- other cup and our nose.
 Mother would stand there sad, but cheering us by telling us how much better we would feel after our blood got thin, and how all growing boys needed it, and how Susan took it with out a word.
 If you would listen to father you would think that our blood was as thick as sausage and that we'd never see May flowers unless he held our nose twice day. Father was good at that. He didn't know anything about jiu-jitsu or half-nelsons, but when he reached for us to have our blood thinned we couldn't lift an eye brow until the last bit of sassafras

Miss Haynes, a Boston school teach CT, should have a monument raised to her memory by the boys and girls of the world. She has devised way of teaching spelling without drudgery" Her pupils range from five to six years, and she has made each one of them to represent a letter of the al. phabet, and the class spends it's time in playing a game called putting the letters together" The consonants are all cousins, and the vowels are either shcrt brothers or long brothers, repEe- senting the different pronunciations of the letters.

CARELESS WITH SHIP NAMES
Extraordinary Ways, According to Critical Traveller.

'Is it not curious that some stand ard of pronunciation of names is not adopted in New York, particularly in hotels?" asked a traveller the other day. 'I have in mind, particularly, the pronunciation of the big Cunard- CT that docked I had friends arriv- ing on her, and I had occasion to make many inquiries about when they would probably reach the hotel. I have iotted down the various pro- nunciations I have heard in the last twenty-four hours in this hotel. Each time I pronounced the name correctly In making the inquiry.
 One room clerk made it Mewre- tania. Another called it Mauretanny. tn information clerk dubbed 1t Marytanny A porter spoke of the ship as the Mowretania. The head bellboy was authority for Murrytania, The head waiter talked about the Mortianna, and, I assure you, 1 have heard at least half a dozen other variations or combinations of these.
 When I was in Paris last sum-
 
 Lazare to take the train for the Olympic at Cherbourg, I asked man who was obviously an American which steamer a lot of people were going to take who were standing near another gate.
 "The Sicily he said, or what sounded like it. I could not think of any ship of that name, unless new Italian vessel had come out, and 1 could not imagine how an Italian ship could be sailing from Cherbourg It was not until I had seen the name on baggage label that I realized that the other crowd was going on the Kronprinzessin Cecilie. We Amer jeans are so careless in our pronun. citation of proper names"
