Two years ago, he says, he met a high school girl who was reading “Lucretius" for recreation, but she failed lamentably when he asked her it boil a potato. Quite possibly Sir Jamel would have been equally unfortunate had he been asked to boil the potatt himself, or, to cite a more mnsouiim employment, to hitch up his own horsfi It is impossible for one person, whether man or woman, to acquire all the ac- complishments, but if a woman unc- coeds with her higher education, in many of them have succeeded, she can afford to paylor having her potatoes boiled.

Nev- srtbeless the proposal that all these doubtful spellings should be determined has met with most vigorous opposition from men of letters und students of the English language. Scholars like Profew or nicest strongly object to any attempt to further ha a system of spelling which wnuot be defended on uny rational or scientific grounds. To it good many people. who as girls and boys were taught to regard correct spelling as almost more important than correct speaking, this «locationing of the whole bone of our orthography will come with a shock of surprise. It needs. , however. only a little careful reflection to enable one to realize that the schol- ars are right. The popular notion that our speaking indicates the etymology of Words. and that this is a task which i spelling ought to perform, will not bear serious examination. All that our spoil— ing really does is toretuin archaic forms 1 of words which are now in use with a changed pronunciation. But these forms were themselves changes from some- thing that had gone before, and if we consider the profound antiquity of the language it is ensy‘to nuderntund.tbut the assistance Whit-lb philologists can got from an Eli abethun or a Georgian spelling is practically worthless. As a matter of fuel, bowuver, many of those older spellings are positively mis- leading. In the last century. for exam- ple, our ancestors spelled lantern, lun— thorn, not because they so pronounced it. but bocauio some ingenious person thought that the sides of n lantern bad 1 originally been made of burn, and that 1 the name had thus arisen. The word, of : course, comes from the French lanterns. : This particular instance of poduutio folly ’ tho present generation has dropped, but Wu i still, for example. how rhyme. us if the i wordwero connected withrhytbm,whilc, [in fact. it is nothing but the French g riiue. Could is another absurdity. Tho ' word never in and never has been pro. 1 nounced with an i. Ila old English or Anglo~Suxon forms are coud and combo, and the 1 has crept into the modern ' spoiling solely from fulso analogy with ; would and should. Yet a girl who left 1 out this unbistorio and unnccurute l in. y an examination paper would probably be ! ridiculed. In other cases modern spelling, though ;not absolutely inaccurate, is still mis- leading. The word debt is u case in , point. Here the insertion of the silent 3 b obscures the foot that the word comes ; in us through the French detle. and not i direct from the Latin. Our French . neighbors, by the way, have little more ; reason to be content with their spelling [ than we have, though our blunders am not ulwaysideutical. We, for instance. spell marriage with two r's, and they, more correctly, with only one; but, in irevcnge, we have only one t in litera- i turn, while they have two. The truth of g the whole matter is that our spelling, : like most of our institutions, has grown ! up entirely haphazard. ignorance play- : ing at least as great a part in its formal- tion as learning—London Queen. i l . om Welsh Walls. i 0n the Wc‘nh border there were sev~ , crnl walled towns—landlow.

In Wales Edward I I built wulls round Conway, Carnurvon and Boaumaris at the some time that i be erected his splendid castles there, and , there were walla round Curmartben, ‘ Montgomery and Tenby. The wall round Conway is 134’ miles in length and 12 foot wide, and has 21' strong semicircular towers along its length, and it has three noble gateways with towora, besides minor entrances. As at Chester, Bcrwick rind York. the summit is used as n promenndc. From it may be seen the wide, winding waters whence the pearl was lunch that Sir R. Wynne pre— ‘ tented to the queen‘ of Charles II, and that now adorns the crown of England; the irregular configuration of the town, always compared to that of the national burp; the adjoining castle. the adjacent woods, and the surrounding hills. The wall mundCurnarvon is nearly ontirc, though oniyn portion of it is opon for public enjoyment. We may see it almost exactly us Edward I saw it when Henry le Bhutan. master.mnson, and his workmen and the conquered Wolsh peasants delivered it and the great castle into his hands, finished, or. as his queen. Eleanor, saw it when she took up her residence in the castle that her babe might be born in Wales.
