A CHAMPION SPELLER.
Horace Greeley Was a Wonder When
Only Six Years Of Age.

horace GFeeIey was a n "neu
Only Six Years Of Age.
No champion of the old time spelling
matches, perhaps, ever excelled Horace
Greeley. He was, in fact, a spelling
prodigy. What would the boys and
girls of today. who grumble over their
daily stint Of twenty words, think OF
a child not yet six years old who could
actually spell every word in the Ian
guage! That is what the young Horace
is said to have been able to- do.
His schooling began in his fourth
year. and the art of spelling at once
became a passion with him.. In school
and out he kept necessarily at its
| study. Hour after hour he would lie.
on the floor, spelling V all the diff
cult words he could find in the few
books that the family owned.
The fame of his prGwess spread.
Naturally Horace was the first one
chosen at spelling matches. He had a
lisping, whining voice and spelled his
words with the utmost confidence.
Sometimes in winter, when the snow
drifts were so 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 came
round his neighbor would nudge him
%anxiously. He would wake. spell his
word and drop asleep again at once.
So great was the boys reputation as
a student of unusual powers that the
selectmen of IL neighboring town, in
passing Il rule forbidding the attend
ance Mt the local school of any pupil
from outside the township, hOnOred
him by adding the clause. Excepting
only Horace Greeley."-Youth's Com
paniOn.

almost exactly like the lovely hats
depicted by Winterhalter in his paint
ing of the Empress Eugenie and her
attendant ladies. And side by side
with these wide-brimmed hats we find
the quaint Vatican shapes which seem
like a fat plateau and which are
raised to an extraordinary height at
the hack.
In the sketch you will find a beauti-
full model of Watteau hat. The orig
lnal model was made of fine tuscan
with wide band of black velvet rib
bon passed over the fiat crown, and
at the back, where the brim turned up
very sharply, there was a large cluster
of silver gray marabout feathers.
These fiat Vatican hats can be

and original in outline. but with sum-
mer gowns of lace or fine muslin they

pretty designs are practicable and
much used. Old fashioned braided rugs
are also in vogue, while jute or grass
rugs, besides being pretty. are easily
kept clean.
You probably do not care to go to
the expense of buying expensive cur
tains. but take down the heavy ones
you used in the winter and then. after
you have packed them away where you
can't get at them, you will have to get
new ones. No living room seems
honey without curtains. but draperies
can be made Of muslin. scrim or even
cheesecloth.
Now take every unnecessary piece
of furniture out of the rooms. SO they
won't appear hot and stuffy. The por-

Don't Boil Vegetables.

Food experts long ago pointed out

carrots are boiled they lose about half
OF the small amount OF mineral con-

30 per cent. Of its mineral constit-

Many clever persons who consid-

through the summer and autumn !;
that the big picture hat was deed!
This is of course pure nonsense.

they adopt fashion which IL insult

originally conceived was a smart little

1t came down closely on the head.
1t permitted enormous fur stoles and

clung to the hair in a gale OF wind.
In short it was thoroughly suitable

not be blamed IL the close-fitting hat
was made ridiculous by ignorant per
sons who did not know how to make
1t and by others who did not know how
to wear 1t.
With the return of summer has come
the inevitable return of the wide
