PUZZLES IN SPELLING. They Are Liable to Caleb You In a Moat Mysterious Way. What queer quirks a good and obedient mind will sometimes take! A clergyman of exceptional scholarly attainments tells me that he once wrote what he nt the moment conceived to be the word “righteous.” The nature of his calling ought to suggest that of all words this one should be among the most familiar to him. and indeed it was. Yet when lie had written it it did not look right. After puzzling over it for some time he concluded that it must end witli “ions" instead of "eous," as he had written it. Finally in a mental muddle lie went to his unabridged dictionary, lint was amazed nt finding no such word there. Deferring further search for the nonce, he completed his letter and then opened the dictionary again. This time he found the word all right and in its proper place, a fact which, he said, would have been a warning to him if lie had been a drinking man. The explanation of it was that by some unaccountable freak he had got it into Ids noddle that it was spelled “ritcheous.” He had spelled it so in his letter and had of course looked on the wrong page of the dictionary for it in the first instance. By the time he looked again the crotchet was out of •us mind, and he knew how to spell the word as well as Webster did.—Brook lyn Eagle. Scholarly Men and the Pnlpit. If scholarly men more and more reject the church as the means by which they will influence opinion and con duct and replace It by educational, editorial and administrative agencies, the next century may be altogether guided In its Intellectual decisions and in those of its actions which depend on Intellectual judgments by forces out side the church. Our grandfathers looked to the minister for advice not only upon religious beliefs and moral practice, but also upon most matters outside their own direct acquaintance. The minister prescribed for the education of sons, solved social problems and acted as the source and judge of truth in matters of general knowledge. Our sons seem likely to regard the ministry ns a body of men fitted to deal with men’s religious welfare, but less fitted to be generous mentors In others. The direction of the people in other than purely religious activities may pass wholly out of the hands of the church.—Professor E. L. Thorndike in Century. A Traffic Wedding Hing. A tragic story of a forgotten wedding ring Is told hi the "Lives of the Lindsays.” He should have been nt church when Colin Lindsay, the young Earl of Balcarras. was quietly eating his breakfast in nightgown and slippers. Uemindcd that Mauritla of Nassau was walling for him nt the altar, he hurried to church, but forgot

the ring. A triend present gave "him one. which be. without looking at, placed on the bride’s finger. After the ceremony was over the countess glanced at her hand and beheld a grinning death's head on her ring. She fainted away, and the omen made such an impression on her that on recovering she declared she was destined to die within a year, a presentiment that probably brought about its Own fulfillment, for in a tew mouths the careless Colin was a widower. Irritation and Tain. A sharp definition should be drawn between irritation and pain. Irritation is not pain, but only a frequent cause of it. Thus a crumb lodged in the larynx near the vocal cords produces violent Irritation and prolonged coughing, which often result in actual pain. So. too. a speck of dust in the eye se’s up violent irritation and inflammation, followed by acute pain. (Jf the surface of the laxly the linger tips and the end of the tongue are most sensitive—for instance, a burn on the fingers is much more painful than one on the back would be, while one on the tongue would be more painful still. Heep wounds are not painful, as a rule, save as regards the surface injury. Treex nt Europe and North America. Forest vegetation is much richer in North America than in Europe and comprises 412 species. of which 176 are native to the Atlantic region, 106 to the Pacific, 10 are common to both, 46 to the Itocky mountain region, and 74 are tropica) species near the coast of Florida a« against 158 species in Europe. Six North American species of forest trees the Judas tree, persimmon. hackberry, plane tree, hop hornbeam and chestnut—are also in digenous in Europe, all now growing there naturally south of the Alps. Nature's Toilet. The West Indian negro need not buy soap. He picks a bulb from the "soap tree” in the Jungle, which makes a beautiful lather. If lie wants a shave, he uses a piece of sharp cocoanut shell or broken glass and it answers as well ns a razor. To clean his teeth lie picks a twig of "chewstick.” which Is better than the best camel's Imlr brush and dentifrice. The Correct Reply. At an examination held nt the ng rlciilturni college the question was put. "When Is the best time to sow barley?" The "exnmlnate," n sharp coun try hid from the district of Altenburg, promptly replied: "Three days before a gentle rain, sir."—From the German. A Leinlrr M<> Longer. "Never I nd Burroughs any money?" "Never did." "But you have.” “No; used to think 1 did, but found 1 was making a gift every time."— t.
