i — SIMPLIFIED SPELLING. The One Thing Needed to Make Eng lish the World Language. Having been for years a teacher of Euglish to forelgners and to high school pupils as well as u student of modern languages, the subject of an international language {interests me greatly. Certaluly of the four important mod- em tongues Engllsh Is the easlest and simplest in grammer, having no awful genders such as German aud no dread ful verba such as French and Italian It has no baffiing depths and subtletles as the last two wentioned nor any tmpossible pronunciation as the frst. Yet, in spite of its simpliclty, it is a very hard language for foreigners to master. This iy due, 1 feel, solely to 1ts antiquated method (or lack of wmeth- od) of spelling. The ditficulties arising from the differcnce between the spell- ing of English words and thelr pro- nunciation are almost lnsurmountable, fatal to its unlversal diffusion. How many natively English speaking people do we know, educated, nay, intellec- tual, who slmply cannot spell, who bave given up trylng? All over the coutinent one hears re- terated with boring wonotony: "1 lke to read the English, but not to speak it It is too ditficult to pronounce. 1 can never tell how a new word should be said.” In French and German cer- tain letter combinations tuvariably rep resent certaln sounds, while [tallun Is absolutely phonetic. In Itallan schools there' 1s no such thing as a spelllug lesson. Think what a saviug of tiwe, temper and grey (or I8 it gray) matter this 13 to the growlng child! It 13 all very well to {nsist upon the classic origin of our orthography, but compare it for one moment with the near and aristocratic parent of the Ital- fan. Yet Italian does not hesltate to discard all artiticiality. 1 feel sure that only one thing will make English, which stands today as the easlest and most conclse of lau- guages—only one thing will make it the universal language, and that s sim- plified spelling.—J. H. Harris in New York Times. BRAVERY OF A TOREADOR. Remarkable Display of Nerve by & Spanish Bull Fighter. The famous BSpanlsh toreador Re- verte figured In one of the most thrill- ing incidents ever witnessed in the bull fighting arena. It was at Bayonne. After disposing of two bulls Reverte had twice plunged his sword into & third of great strength and ferocity, and as the bLeast contin- ued careering wildly the spectators be- gan to hiss Reverte for bungling. Wounded to the very quick of his pride, the Spaniard shouted, ‘““The bull i slain!” and, throwing aside his sword, sank on one knee with folded arms in the middle of the ring. He was right, but he had not al- lowed for the margin of accident. The wounded beast charged full upon him, but the matador, splendid to the last, knelt motionless as a statue, while the spectators held thelr breath in horri- fled suspense. Reaching his victim, the bull literal- ly bounded at him, and as he sprang he sank in death, with his last effort giving one fearful lunge of the head that drove a horn Into the thigh of the kneellng man and lald bare the bone from the knee to the joint. Btill Reverte never flinched, but re- malned kneellng, exultant in victory, but calmly contemptuous of applause, till he was carrled away to heal hlm of his grievous wound. Indian “Moons.” Time is calculated among the Red Indians by moons instead of months. January is called the "hard woon,” February “the raccoon moon,” March “sore eye moon,” April “the moon in ‘which geese lay eggs,” May “the plant- ing moon,” June “the moon when the strawberries are red,” July “the moon ‘when choke cherrles are ripe,” August “the harvest moon,” September “the moon when rice lg lald up to dry,” Oc- tober “the rice drylng moon,” Novem- ber “the deer killing moon” and De- cember “the deer moon.”—FPhiladelphia Inquirer. Denmark’s Soversigns. Denmark has had a most curlous ar- ray of soverelgns, the Blue Tooth, Forked Beard, Simple, Hungry, Hare- foot, Lamb, Plous and Cruel belng among them. This latter, who was Christian I1., belled his real name by galning the additional title of the Nero of the North. There was probably little hap. pinéss in Denmark when he sat upon the throne.—London Mall. A Money Saver. “You are foollsh to buy your furni- ture on the instaliment plan. You have to pay nearly twice as much as you otherwise would.” “Yes, but look at all the money 1 save on moving expenses.’—St, Louls Post-Dispatch. Charaster Analysis. “Bliggins goes around asking so much advice that he never accomplish- es anything.” “Yes,” replied the man whose mind Hngers in thé past, “not enough inftla- tive and too much referendum.”— ‘Washington Star. , A Toast.
