Dean Briggs, of Harvard Univer.
sity, says the average citizen Of the
United States is poor speller, and
thinks the time is ripe for an uplift
movement along this line. He ad-
mits that many men who have at
tanned prominence in various walks
Of life have been poor spoilers, and
were deficient in their knowledge of
English grammar, but their achieve
ments in other directions were so
notable that lapses in spelling and
in writing correct English were ov-
erlooked.
To the young man entering upon
a business or a professional career,
to say nothing Of the artisan, there
is no greater asset, in the present
era, than knowledge of the rudi-
ments of English literature and the
ability to spell and write correctly.
Every line Of human endeavor is
being advanced to a higher plane,
and with this advancement every
body must keep pace who expects
to be contender for one Of the
prizes of life.
Correct writing and spelling stamp
a man as not only being educated,
but thorough. Those who sit in judg-
ment on him when he writes letter
applying for a position are as in
flexible as Minos. There must be no
mistakes in spelling, no errors in
grammatical construction. Profc-
iency in these esstials appeals to the
employed, chiefly because it reflects
the thorugh mantle man who is
careful. And, in the tenets of
trade, the man who is thorough in
little things is not likely to be SLOW
emily in matters Of greater moment.
Perhaps, as Dean Briggs observes,
there is not enough care paid to
teaching spelling to the young to-
day; but If this detail Of ones edu-
cation has been neglected, self-edu-
cation should correct it. 1t is easy
enough, with a little application, to
become a good speller, and one
doesn't need a preceptor standing
over him to master the rudiments of
grammar. Self-analysis will show
whether there is deficiency in these
branches, and if it be discovered that
there is one may become his own
teacher even though school days

Move the Carpet.

Every now and then, instead OF
allowing the stair carpet to remain
in exactly the same position as first
placed. the tread of the carpet
should be moved a couple of inches
or so either up or down. This has
the effect Of keeping the pile of the
carpet in a uniform condition, and.
besides retaining the fresh appear

much longer than II would il left
