Richard Grant White once said that a radical reform in English spelling is, first, unneécessary; second, undesir- able, and, third, impossible, thus - re- calling the story of the old Scottish preacher who, upon meeting one of his hearers after the services, in- quired how he liked the sermon. *“I didna like it,” he said, “for three ris- zens—first, ye read it; second, ye dinpa read weel, and, third, it wasna worth readin.” Blessings of a Diet. : Nowada¥s it's a godsend for a man to get rheumatism. Instead of filling him up with salicylic acid, fodine of potash and other atrocities to tear out his insides, intelligent physicians put him on a diet.

Fold a towel round the mouth of the jug, leaving a small aperturs. in the cen- ter to allow the steam to escape, and take long, deep breaths of it into the lungs.
