An Income of at least *1.500 annually la the first inducement bachelors with an inclination to leap Into the matrimonial aea with an Omaha co-ed most make.

Oompleta tabulated returns of the state-wide gpelllng contorts In which State Commissioner Finley was so much Interested show that In tha 10.600 schools where “bees” were held, the girls showed generally the greater proficiency In spelling, and that of the silver medals awarded to county champions only 30 per cent go to boys.

The boy or girt or man or

who mart rarely misspells a word U fortunate rather than admirable. The memory visualises the printad form which reading has made familiar. And this was tha aecret of the way our grandmothers and grandfathers got a mastery over the old blue ■peUlngbook. Doubtless the pre-Free-bri-Wsbstor” book. Uks aU otter books used for the purpose, helped visuallxatioo by concentrating attention. We are Inclined to believe that the _ rerage school girt reads more than the average school boy. After school the boy’s Interests are outside Interests. He la fishing or skating or playing ball. We would not have him otherwise for aU the spelling la the world. After ell the learning of thing! Is better than the learning of symbols, and words are nothing but symbols. They aid In writing and In speaking. But 1c the education that leads up to doing things one hour In mathematics or chemistry Is worth more than - bun-' dred hours of spelling.—^Brooklyn

QUAINT OLD ENGLISH CUSTOM On »t. Thomas' Day Custom Allowed Poor Children to Solicit Alms

From the Rich.

Ij former times there were many qealnt customs connected with BL Tbbmas' day, the twenty-first of December, but roost of ttfcse have now died out. In “Merrie England" the children and young people of the humbler classes were licensed by custom go begglrg at the homes of the wfcO-to-do and the rich. This custom was called “going a goodlng” or “going a corning." and was usually accompanied by a general merrymakJng and the ringing of songs suited to the occasion. In some remote parts of England poor families are still permitted to make the rounds In quest of alms on Bt. Thomas* Day, but It has now become a deadly serious buxines*, and not the gay affair of former times whan youngsters went about ringing: sail, wassail through tbs town.

GOLD FROM FLOOR TO CEILING Wonderful Accumulation of Yollew Metal Stored In ths Assay Office

at New York.

The New York assay office la now the most Important Institution of ths kind in the world. There Is more gold stacked up In boxes and kegs. In bricks and bars. In bins and bags, than ever before In the history of the country. The assay office, says the New York World, is the purchasing agent for the government. Foreign gold, consigned to banks and trust companies, la “cashed In" through the assay office. British sovereigns, packed In boxaa. are piled as high as the celling. Dodging that golden bulwark, the visitor Is likely to bump Into the cases full of French twenty francs that arc piled on the other ride. Turning to reach the elevator, he skirts s row of gold bars, packed five ten-thousaud-dollar bars to the keg. In sawdust, and stretching slong the well twice the height of a All gold, of whatever nature, la melted and refined to a fineness of 666.6,

or finer, and cast Into bars of standard

The value of each bar la expressed In United States dollars and cents. Every bar and coin has to stand

There are 15 big melting pots at work on gold exclusively. It i most brutal to see the workmen scoop shovelfuls of gold pieces from metal boxes and dump th«n, one after another, into a pot until It Is full and then clap on the lid and wait for them
