Why They Can Spell Il.

Before I went to Europe" said the
school teacher, 1T was one OF the
mysteries Of my profession how every
British child enrolled in our schools
came to be authority on tho spelling
OF chilblains. Teachers might hesi'
tate over one II" or two, tho children
never. They might make photographic
mess Of the simplest one syllable
word. but the tiniest tot from the
British isles went to the head Of the
class on chilblains every time. One
wintry month In those same islands
told mo why. It 10 the word they saw
oftepest. In drug stores. In clothins
stores. in shops Of all. kinds cures
and preventivss Of chilblains arc uni.
versally advertised. Owing to the
exigencies Of tho climate there IA 4
regular chilblains literature present
Cd for those children's absorption, &c
no wonder they know how to spsiI
their universal af1iction."
