SPELLING KEFOItM TENDENCIES.

k STUDY of selling reform by F. Sturgis Allen

shows that there is less evidence of change of spelling in liritish usage than there Is in American. Shall we spell "aesthetic" or "esthetic?" Drltlsh publishers do not take to the latter. On the other hand, "American publishers who publish for the Hrltlsh s

well as the American market," Mr. Alle tells us, "find that adopting the e (which Is considered an AmericanIsm) tends to Injure the sale of their books to the British trade." Considerable changes, he adds, are taking place In American usage In th? direction of returning to British usage; as, for example, ''honour" for honor, "centre" for center and "traveller" for traveler. After all, American publishers who want the widest market for books of a certain class have to consider the fastidious buyers In Australia. Canada, South Africa and other British colonies as well as In the United States. It thus happens that the personal Interest of many bookmakers In this country run counter to the project of extended 'spelling reform" endowed by Mr. Carnegie. The typewriter and typesetting machines seem to be chiefly responsible for the common substitution for the dlpthongs, as the machines would become much more complicated If they provided for them. "Should the dictionaries," Mr. Allen asks, "give the preference to 'e' forms when usage does not, without Indicating that usage prefers the dlpthong forms in those c. ses?" Usage, after all, is and should be th. master. T'a time Is past when dictionary makers could undertake to dictate. Baltimore Sun.

Professor Xakamura, of, the Imperial University of Tokio, the architect sent by Japan to inspect conditions at San Francisco, reported some time ago that one of the great causes of damage bad been the poor quality of mortar and the faulty construction with the use of hollow tiling and fire blocks Instead of concrete. lie gave the San Francisco people formulas for the kind of mortar

consequently, the annual college addresses afford a distinct guide to what the leaders of thought really think. ' Those addrts? this year were remarkable for their cheerful optimism and for their faith in the honesty and uprightness of the men of the present generation. There were some exceptions, but the rule was that the young men about to begin the struggle for survival were told that the old-fashioned virtues have not gone out of style, that honesty and uprightness are still highly prized, that greed for gain Is as despicable as it has always been, and that the road to success lies along the straight and narrow way which has commended Itself to men by centuries of experience. . This word Is needed. It Is Important that a true and wholesome standard shall I held up for admiration at the time when young men begin to find a standard necessary.

Youth's Companion.

Old soldiers could tell you of many cases in which men who were supposed to be brave and stout-hearted behaved

like a frightened schoolgirl at the first sound of the enemy's guns. I have a story of that kind to tell you, but It Is of a boy, not of a man, and you will read It with no less interest when I say that It is true. I was a captain In the army during the Civil War, and among the members of my company was a boy of sixteen, who had obtained the consent of his parents to enlist that being necessary on account of his youth. He was a strong, sturdy fellow, full of life and spirit, and obedient, Intelligent and faithful In the performance of his duty. I noticed him often, chiefly because he was the youngest . member of the company, and also because he showed great aptitude in learning the duties of a soldier. He seemed to take a positive interest In every thing connected with camp life, and I frequently told myself that Johnny Bates, as he was called, would soon win promotion and distinction. One night this little idol was shattered into a thousand fragments. We had beeu ordered to the field, but bad not yet had an engagement with the enemy. A , soldier's first battle Is a trying episode In Lis life. I believe that seventy-five men out of every one hun

dred would turn and run at the first volley from the enemy were It not for

J the moral support given by the presence

3f their companions.

But Johnny Bates gave way before

his first battle came. Our regiment was encamped well toward the front of our line, and we knew that the enemy was

not far off. In fact we were gradually approaching each other and a great jattle could not ba delayed much longer. About 12 o'clock one night the long roll was sounded and our regiment was roused and soon formed lato Jine of battle, where we were to await further orders. A sentinel on one of the outposts had fired his gun and we thought the enemy was upon us. That was my first experience of the klnu, too, and I shall never forget the itrange feeling that came over me. There we stood In the darkness and silence, not a man daring to speak, waiting for tho expected order to march to

Suddenly, right behind iue, I caught

the souad of a boyish volco whimpering

and crying. Amazed beyond expression I turned and saw Johnny Bates. He was crying like a baby. When I sternly ordered him to stop, he burst out worse than ever, apparently overcome by uncontrollable fear. He begged me

most pitifully to allow him to leave the line, claiming that ho could not possibly stay there; nd thct he was 111, weak, tremuilng like a leaf and utterly una

was false and we were ordered back to our quarters. The next day I sent for Bates to come to my tent When he entered his face was full of shame and repentance.

That softened me somewhat and I de

A Halle vxltH the Sea. No engagement of the Civil War was carried on with more heroism aud endurance than that fought by the Forty ninth United States colored troops af ter hostilities were over. The Magazin of American History contains an account of the tussle ia wh.'ch the black soldiers bore themselves so bravely. Tin steamer Merrlmae, loaded with cotton left New Orleans for New York, carry ing, besides her regular passengers thirty officers and nine hundred colored privates. . For several days all went well. Thei the vessel sprung a leak, fire? wer dampened and the alarm spnad. I: was found that the Iron supply pip through which the water for.,m denser was taken from the sa taj broken, and the place of leakage cou!i not be reached. The passengers wen panic stricken. One small fat Genua: went about wringing bis hands and crying: "Ach! We are at the bottom of th

sea! If we gets pack to New Orleans will dey glf me pack my monlsh?" The water gained fast The only hop lay In keeping afloat until a vessel could be sighted. The colored .l-oopj were pressed Into service, and provei themselves the heroes of the occasion A line of men was established from tb hold to the deck, and buckets were pass

Two days passed, and the drlnklnj water gave out Then they could nc longer sing, and their parched throat! were eased only by a scanty supply ol oranges and . lemons. But still the.? worked. On the third day the lights oil a steamer were seen only half a lulls away. Rockets were sent up, anü'wltli great difficulty, on account of her wet Ammunition, a gun was fired. To the dismay of all. the steamer passed on. Quickly the soldiers formed a line one more and the wearisome labor t-egar again. After s'xty-five hours of bucket pass Ing a steamer was sighted which responded to the call for help, and tht water-logged Merrlmae was towed Intc harbor. The men who had sung so cheerily lr the midst of hard labor and In the fac
