TEACHING PUPILS TO sPELr
New York Newspaper Thinks That
Possibly There Is an Error In
tho Present Process.

So much has been said and printed
about the very Independent way pupils
in school now spell-of course. there
were always bad spellers-that the
reason for 1t should be known. A
dozen or more years ago new
method of teaching spelling was de-
vised and from one end Of our educa-
forbidden country to the other was
practiced and favorably reported on. 1t
was called disqualification" and meant
that a mental picture was certainly
impressed on 1.-The childs" mind by
merely looking at the word. 1t never
occurred to the visualizers that the
child" had always looked at the word.
and that the drill they proposed to do
away with was all there was to the
spelling lesson.
Many a leafned-sounding word has
been of service to expert educators in
this way. Interallis. laboratory, eff

which condemns these practices.
To encourage pupils is laudable. but
to tell them they are right when they
are wrong, even though we may rec
ognize degrees Of wrongness in words
as in eggs. is certainly not commend
able. The action OF educator Sweet

Find the Harbor of Pompeii,

The ancient harDor of the buried
city Of Pompeii. which was filled with
lava when the great eruption of We
suvius destroyed the city, has been
discovered by the sculptor Cozza. 1t
is expected that many interesting OBJ
jects will be laid bare during the ex'
cavation, as it is recalled that at the
time of the eruption a large number
of the inha bitants fed toward the har
Dor, carrying valuable jewelry and
money with them, but their escape
was cut off by the rush Of lava and
they persisted there, the Roman fleet
under Pliny being unable to give them
any assistance.
The harbor is 2,225 feet beyond Ma
rine Gate and 1850 feet from the pres
ent shore line. Twenty-four feet OF
lava, and ashes cover the site. Cozza
has uncovered a portion Of a deeply
rutted paved road leading from Marine
Gate to the harbor and portions OF
stone landing stages and quays as well
as q breakwater.

False Teeth an Italian Invention.

False eetn an ItaIian INVENTION.
No doubt the statement Of firm OF
manufacturers that they sell over T.,
100000 false teeth year, is well
founded, since everyone uses them
these days. 1t seems, however, to re
call to memory the fact that the us'
of artificial teeth is just little over
a hundred years old.
The first successful maker was Gius
sepangelo Fonzi. an Italian dentist
who started practice in Paris in 1898,
and, thanks to his skillful treatment
of Lucien Bonaparte, soon made his
way. After years of experiment he
discovered the substance from which
artificial teeth are still made. and re
ceived the gold medal Of the Frenci
Academy of Science. One of the earl
est persons fitted with false teeth wa
the empress Of Russia. After Water
loo Fonzi migrated to London. ant
then to Madrid, where Ferdinand VI.
of Spain. rewarded him with a year,
pension Of a thousand ducats for (
set Of false teeth.

Colds Are Natures
Danger Signals

It is what colds lead to that makes
them dangerous. Even slight cold
or couph-if not checked in time
NAV have very serious consequences.
Every time you cough some part OF
the delicate lung tissue is weakened
and forms breeding ground for the
germs of consumption CIubercle
Bacilli).
This is what makes the use Of sAch a
remedy as Bears Emulsion SO partic-
ularly valuable. The usual cod liver
oil emulsion upsets the stomach and
throws the system out Of order. But
Bears Emulsion is a natural mineral
product (not animaD. 1t nourishes
and tones the system, while it soothes,
heals and relieves the tissues. Very

also does expectoration.

Music to Lure Fish.

Two Pennsylvania disciples Of Izaal
Walton have just invented a mus
cal minnow for bass fishing. The new
device is described as wooden min
now, and instead Of the usual spinnei
in front there is carved out the face
Of pretty girl. In front Of the face
is q miniature electric light. the pow
er for which is furnished by a dry b;i,
terry carried in the pocket Of the fish
ermen, to throw light on the bait
which hangs on the under side.
The minnow is painted red, and
within 1t is tiny musical box, the
playing Of which is regulated by the
fisherman before he casts his line
The inventors say they adopted the
idea because they have found while
fishing that bass are attracted by the
ringing Of q COW bell.-Evening Stan.
