My Uncle John is well preserved, Though he is over fifty; Of sturdy build and iron nerved Is he. and very thrifty, lie will let nothing go to waste, Especially his victuals; He carves a fowl with style and taste While to the bone he whittles. But that does not explain his vim Nor all his actions youthful; His foodstuffs are preserving him, To be exact and truthful. The milk contains forniladehyde, As chemists oft have noted; The bacon with which he's supplied Has all been creosoted. The jelly that he buys contains Some salicylic acid; This stops all his rheumatic pains And makes my uncle placid; The maple sirup for his cakes Saves him from qualm and quiver Sulphate of soda in it makes For him a healthy liver. The clams he eats may have been dug Back in the age Jurassic, And still are fresh through some such drug As acid that boracic; The soups he sips he knows are canned, . But takes them like a stoic ; They have been most precisely planned Their acids are benzoic. Corned beef you see my Uncle John Is quite a hearty eater Is fit for him to fatten on, 'Tis doctored with saltpeter; Canned peaches, pickles, vinegar, Ice cream and wine he's sated With things extracted from coal tar And spirits methylated. If he should be downtown for lunch His menu is the snuggest; He merely takes the time to munch Some things bought from the druggist. And so you see my uncle is Preserved as nature planned him; The drugs affect that frame of his As though some one bad canned him. Chicago Tribune. Secret of Greatneas. There's just one thing You must acquire, If you would set The world afire. And that's to know The thing to do To make the world Run after you. Gertrude Robinson in JV. Y. Sun. SOME SPELLING TRAPS Handwriting experts have so frequent ly been proved to be mcorrect in their de ductionsnotably in the Beck case that juries seldom convict prisoners on their evidence. Curiously enough, however, although the handwriting test has been proved to be unreliable, the evidence of faulty spell ing has never failed to bring retribution to evildoers. It appears that forgery is comparatively easy, and that even an expert can be readi ly deceived by a forged document ; but it seems almost certain that if an adult, even of good education, misspells certain words it is almost impossible for him to spell them correctly from dictation, unless aided by a dictionary. This strange fact was vividly mani fested through the acumen of Justice Darling during the hearing of a breach of promise case recently at Birmingham The plaintiff relied upon certain letters, which she stated were written to her by defendant, to establish her case. The man, however, denied the authorship, and there was considerable doubt expressed, which the judge shared, as to the incrimi nating documents being in his hand writing. "Gross perjury is being committed in this case," said Justice Darling. And then his lordship thought of a new test. "How do you spell the word 'awful' ?'' he inquired of the defendant. "A-w-f-u-1-1," was the response. "That's how the word is spelt by the person who wrote this letter," observed the judge. And it was this fact that procured the plaintiff 100 damages. The political history of the last 15 years has been determined by a mistake in spell ing. The fact that an "e" was used in stead of an "a" rendered the claims of the Irish party to home rule and other reforms possible as constitutional questions to the imperial parliament. It was at the period when the gravest charges were being made against the late C. S. Parnell and other members of the Irish parliamentary party that "The Times" electrified the world by publishing a letter, purporting to be from the Irish leader, approving of assassination. The majority of the British people at the time believed it to be authentic. At the famous "commission" of threejudges, that was held to investigate these terri ble charges, hand-writing experts swore that this letter was in Parnell's handwriting. Despite the searching cross examination the late Lord Chief Justice Lord Kussell, of Killowen (then Sir Charles Russell), subjected them to, it was impossible to shake their evidence, and most people were convinced that Parnell had penned this terrible document. Then ajournalist named Richard Pigott entered the box. "Write on a piece of paper the word 'hesitancy,' " said Sir Charles, suddenly. The witness did so, and handed the paper to the counsel. The word was spelled "hesitency," which corresponded to the spelling of the same word in the incriminating letter. Triumphantly Sir Charles pressed his point, and in a few moments the wretch ed Pigott admitted that he had forged the letter, and sold it to the Times for a large sum. In a similar manner, a mistake in the spelling of the French word "resplendis sant" was instrumental in proving that the unfortunate Marie Antoinette had never ordered . the "famous diamond necklace" that has figured so largely in romance. The order in question was undoubted ly written by the Countess de Lamotte, whose education was defective to a degree, although her manners were charming and her conversation versatile. This in cident was one of the principal causes of the queen's unpopularity, and indirectly was the means of bringing her to the guillotine in the stormy days of the French revolution. riiAW ui:. touiody.
