Napoleon's Magic Table.
Napob-on's magic table is one of the
fjrotitevl curiosities from the time of
the grand emperor, who had it iu Ids
study at the castle of St Cloud. After
tbe dentil of Napoleon It was lought
in London by Karon ltehaiisen, Swed
ish ambassador to tbe court of St.
James at that time. It is now owned
through Inheritance, says the Strand
Magazine, by one of the foremost fam
ilies of the Swedish nobility.
' Itisble the drawer of tbe table Is
pasted an old slip on which Is printed
a. description, , which In modernized
English reads as follows:
'Tbe Emperor Napoleon was highly
delighted with this extraordinary work
of art. It formed the surface of one
of tbe tables lu bis study, and was
always shown to nil foreigners of dis
tinction who visited tbe Imperial court.
It is a painting, whose resemblance

OPINIONS OF GREAT PAPERS ON IMPORTANT SUBJECTS
Bad Spelling.
QM.Y rG out of HI freshmen at the Northwestern Uni
versity were able to pims an examination in spelling.
-They .wet tested with ordinary words, not wilb -difficult
slid perplexing ones; and the test was too much for most
"f tliem. Prohubly similar examinations at almost any
American university would show substantially the same re
siilis. Spelling is not uu accomplishment in which college
youth excel. Nor do tbe graduates of the common schools dis
tinguish themselves in this useful, but now soniewhut super
ciliously regarded branch. The letters of the average public
st'hiiol graduate or university graduate are likely to be prolific
in bad spelling.
I'rof, Clark, of the Northern University, says the trouble
is with the so-called "scientific" method of teaching spelling.
The public schools turn out graduates who have learned with
grest pains how not to spell. The undergraduates and gradu
ates of the colleges probably spell a little or considerably worse
than the public school children.
Hut the great thing is the method. Nothing can ecpjnl the
pity which the enthusiasts of the new method bestow npon
children who have learned to spell without reliunee upon it.
KpHling is nothing; method is everything. I.et us remember
that, when we come across a fantastic or blundering speller.
The worse he spells, the more superior is the method by which
he came to that pre-eminence as a muddler nd twister of
orthography. New York Sun.
The Bible-Reading Habit.
THE Huston Herald, speaking especially of New Eng
land, says that not many years ago "orators could make
no point more certain of instant appreciation than one
which turned on nn illustration from the Bible, even
from its least rend portions. Nowadays it is hardly safe
for a popular orator to venture on any allusion outside of the
gospels and the Psalms." The reason why it is "hardly nafe"
is that Hible rending has become obsolete in many families, so
that quotations from the Scriptures are not recogniz'-d by the
musses. We siistiect there is much truth in that statement.
The exodus of the native stock contemporaneously with the
itillux of foreigners has caused many changes in New England
and is largely responsible for this one.
Hut that is not the only explanatory fact. Formerly the
average family had but few books anil no daily papers. This
gave the Hible a better chance than It hns in these days of
elieap printing, free libraries, a multiplicity of newspapers,
an infinite variety of weekly and monthly publications all at
itisigiiilicant prices and a vastly improved postal service. The
nailing of the good old habit of rending the Hible is regretta

Universal language Again.
N the Educational Science Section of the Hritish Association,
Sir Frederick Hramwell took down from a high Bhelf that
out-worn di'ba's'ig society topic, "A Universal Language,"
dusted it carefully, and tried to set it In a new and attractive
light. The learned baronet eschews Volapuk, and that must
ite accounted unto him for wisdom; but in point of practicality
his suggestion that England, France, Germany and the United
States should agree upon one language, such as Italian, for
universal use in commerce and literature, is not very much in
idvance of the proposal that the nations should discard their
own tongues in favor of s common gibberish, however scien

INIIAH1TEI) KltllKJE IN THE K WANG TUNC PROVINCE.
At Chau-Chau Fu, in Kwaiig-Tung, there Is au extraordinary bridge, which at
once attracts the rare tourist who finds his way to the town. For one tiling It is
mi inhabited bridge, and the inhabitants have not only chosen a site iu which
ihey obtain more fresh air than is usually to the taste of a Chinaman, but have
embellished their ramshackle box dwellings with lit le pot-gardens. A market,
tin), is regularly held on this bridge. Hut the greatest peculiarity alsuit the stnic'
urc Is the pair of hurdles which we see suspended in mid air. At nightfall
they are let down, like a portcullis, to the level of the stream, not ns you would
imagine, to bar the passage of stray cattle, but to keep devils from going through.
The Chinaman, though described often as a materialist, has a profound belief that
the air Is full of wandering spirits, and the notion that foreigners are a kind of
devil is due not only to their light hair and un Chinese features, hut to the very
fact that they have wandered awny from home.

The Demon of Worry.
worry seems to invade almost every home,
Iand more frequently seeks out as its victim the mother
of the family, with all her cares and vexations. Worry
leaves the system exhausted, and the mind suffers loss
of vigor. The habit, however, may be c.ured, if only one
to assert the fact and then keep to it
There iw many practical ways in which this can be done. One
is to restrain the outward expression of the feeling itself. We
may not he able at once to say, "Peace, be still." to every anx
iety that wells up within us, but we can by effort repress its
exhibition. We need not pour out our fancied woes into
another's ear; we need not cirry a dismal countenance with
which to stllict our neighbors; we can at least keep our worries
within our own breasts, and as a plant that is shut out from
fresh air will soon wither, so these anxieties and fears, if de
nied an outlet, will lose much of their innate force. Let us
encourage the cheerful smile, the frank, clear look, the hearty
hand grasp, the cordial interest in those we meet, and while
shedding brightness upon others, we shall find many of our own
worries slipping away even from our own anxious hea.-ts.
