Spelling Needs Improvement.

The present generation does mot
produce the type Of spoilers Of the
old school, says the superintendent q
the Wheeling schools. Those who have
to handle correspondence are aware
that there are many poor spoilers
whether there are more than former
ly. If there is Jess ability N spell
ing it may be due to less attention
being given that branch. When read
in 'ritin' and 'rithmetic were the three
studies regarded as essentials, spell
ing was given far more attention rela-
lively than now. In the old country
schools going through" the spelling
book once was not enough. The spell
ing book was in the hands OF he pu-
pill from entrance until he quit be-
cause too big to go to school longer.
Besides that. the spelling scnool was
one of the chief social diversions u
the rural neighborhood and tha prize
spoilers on such occasions enjoyed 10
slight distinction The system gave
little or none Of many things now in
the courses of study in all schools, but
it did tend to make good spoilers Of
those who had any aptitude for spell
ing. There were some who could not
learn and such never tried. They we're
satisfied to stand at the foot of the
class because they did not have to
move when they missed
1t is singular, though, that many
who spell incorrectly are not aware Of
the fact, or. If they do know it, are
incapable OF improving. Though they
may observe that their spelling has
been altered they will repeat the same
mistake. Yet, it is not astonishing that
there are poor spoilers when so often
there is little relation between the
spelling and the pronunciation. In
fact, accurate spelling consists mainly
in close observation of word and a
retentive memory for that sort Of
thing. The oid-time pupil was drilled
and then drilled again in spelling. He
could hardly help learning. Possibly
the present day schools do not have
time to drill so thoroughly as was
once the case. While one may pros
per, doubtless, without being a good
speller, ii is desirable that one pos
sess qualification in that line, if one
Is to subject his ability to the scrutiny
Of strangers. A badly spelled letter
may have disastrous effect.--pitts-

/ SAWED WAY TO FREEDOM.
Four Prisoners In the Orleans County
Jail at Newport

Newport, July 24.--Before daybreak
Saturday morning, four prisoners ef-
fected their escape from Orleans jail
at Newport, With Joseph Roberge, =
notorious Chinaman smuggler as
ring leader, the quartet made their
escape by saving the iron bars which
had kept them from their freedom.
The other three men who escaped
are Max Bawner, who occupied the
same cell as did Roberge, William
Anger, and Elzear Carrier. Hack saws
which had been secreted in Roberge's
cell were used. Roberge is said to
have first sawed the iron bars
that enclosed him in his cell Once
out in the corridor with his companion,
Bawner, he sawed the bars that per-
mitted- egress to an outside window.
William Anger and Elzear Carrier
were not locked in, their cells and
Joined Roberge and ) Bawner when
they had released themselves from
their own cell. Then Roberge, it is
said, hacked away at the bars over an
east window that opened out toward,
the postoflice building. Finally the bars
over the window were sawed and
pulled apart and all four men made
their way to freedom.
The alarm was given by Charles
Cote, himself prisoner. He shouted
until the break was discovered. Cote
could have made his escape with the
quartet but refused to go with them.
He is serving 30 days. sentence.
Frank f. Kinney, acting chief of
police at Newport in the absence Of
Ora a. Sweet, who is away on his
vacation, made the rounds soon after
] o'clock but did not discover any eff
fort to escape.

Of lrishman Made Hit With
English Hosts.

Jack Dcmpsey's recent visit to
London was brief one but 1t AZ
forded him time enough to establish
a brilliant reception az an after
dinner speaker. Several London news
papers, in fact, declared him to be
Il better after-dinner speaker than

Jack made his reputation Mt a
luncheon given in Shis honor by Lord
Northcliffe. All England's greatest
statesmen, artists and millionnires
were gathered round the board. When
the young champion was called on for
a toast he rose and said:
II am good deal like the freshman
who attended dinner where every
guest had to make speech. sing a
song or tell story. When the Irish
mans turn came he got up und snld:
81 can't make speech, or sing \
song, or tell story. but III fight any

FREEDOM FROM

Discovery BY Scientists Has Replaced

Pills and salts give temporary re-
lief from constipation only at the ex-
pense of permanent injury, says an
eminent medical authority.
Science has found q newer, better
way-a means as simple as Nature
itself.
In perfect health q natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this nat
ural lubricant is not sufficient. Medt'
cal authorities have found that the
gentle lubricating action of Nujol most
closely resembles that Of Natures own
lubricant. As Nujol is not laxative
It cannot grippe. It is in no sense a
medicine. And like pure water 1t Is
harmless and pleasant. -.
