Why They Can Spell Il.

Before l went to Europe" said the
school teacher, ut was one of the
mysteries of my profession how every
British child enrolled in our schools
came to be authority On the spelling
Of chilblains. Teachers might heir
tate over one II" or two, the children
never. They might make photographic
mess Of the simplest one syllable
word, but the tiniest tur from the
British isles went to the head of the
class on chilblains every time. Ons
wintry month in those same islands
told mo why. 1t Is the word they saw
oftenest. In drug stores, in clothing
stores, In shops Of all kinds cures
aud rreventives OF chilblains are uni
versally advertised Owing to the
exigencies Of the climate there is
regular chilblains literature present
ed for those children's absorption. SO
no wonder they know how to spell
