A CHAMPION sPELLER.

Horace Greeley Was q WondSF When
Only Elk Year, ct Age.
No champion Of the old time spelling
matches, Derhapa, ever exeelled Horace
Greeley. He was, in fact, . spelling
prodigy. What would the boys and
girls Of today, who grumble over their
daily stint Of twOnty words, think Of
a child not yet sig years old who could
actually spell every word In the Lam
guagel That is what the young Horace
10 said to have been able to do.
His schooling began In his fourth
year, and the art Of spelling at once
becare a passion with him. In school
and out he kept necessarily at its
study. Hour after hour he would lie
on the door. spelling over all the dlha-
cult words he could and In the few
books that the family owned.
The fame Of his prowess spread.
Naturally Horace was the hFst one
chosen at spelling matches. he had q
lisping, whining voice and spelled his
words with the utmost confidence.
Sometimes In winter. when the snow
drifts were 30 deep that one OF the
big boys had to take him to the school
house on his back, the little white
haired fellow would drop asleep be-
tween turns. When his word anne
round his neighbor would nudge him
a~nxiously. He would wake, spell his
word and drop asleep again at once.
So great was the boys reputation 10
a student Of unusual powers that the
selectmen OF a nelghboring town, In
passing a rule forbidding the attend
anc at the local school Of any pupil
from outside the township, honored
him by adding the clause. Excepting
only Horace Greeley."-YOuth's Com

USE OF TURKISH" WORDS.

ottomans Themselves Don't Know the
Meaning Of Them.
Sublime porte" is one OF those Eu-
ropean expressions for Turkish insti-
tutiOns which are never used by the
Turks themselves. The Ottoman gov
ernment's official title for itself Is HUI
kyumeti-seniye, the glorious govern
ment.
Turks do not speak Of "the sultan"
but OF the ~"padishah." a Persian term
meaning the father Of mOnarchA.
Turkey is a geographical expression
used outside the land II denotes, but
unknown to those who dwell In 1t.
The Turks talk Of Roumelia AnadoL.
The foreign residents may speak OF
Anatolia, Albania or the Lebanon.
They will tell you they live at Emyr-
ma, Saloniki or Beirut or elsewhere,
but the word Turkey never crosses
their lips. In the realm itself there Is
no collective name for the territory Of
the sultan.
Albania, Bulgaria and Roumania, al
though contiguous to one another,
speak three totally different languages.
The Bulgarian tongue Is that Of an
cient Russia, and Roumanlan resembles
that Of ancient Rome more closely than
modern italian does. Albanian has no
marked affinity with any other Ian
guage, though philologists have dis
covered in It some slight traces Of
Basque and Hungarian influence. -

His plan, as IL pointed out By George

his factory a single huge machine. In
