IMPROVEMENTS IN ENGLISH. t May Bs w SprlllnC. We need not go the length of (lie fanatics of phoneliclam (who would spell wife yf, knee nee, and write eye in the aame manner as the personal pronoun I) to desire a c)ian£e in the spelling of many block to foreigners as well as to natircs. The instances of “plough,” “though," “ enough.” “ borough,” “ cough," “dough,” “ought,” in which seven words the letters Might to hare act sounds, are more titan sufficient to prove that a reformation in spelling is highly desirable, and that plough out to be written and printed plow; through, thru thiuo; enough, enuf; borough, burrow or burro; cough, cawf; dough, doe, and ought, aut or art with the r quiescent. In like manner the verb "to do” ought to be written “to du" or “to doo," and the past tense of “to read' ought not be spelled inexactly the same manner the present tense of the same verb; but I did read (pronounced I redd) should be written phonetically; and 1 did eat (pro1 1 elt, or I ate) should follow le rule. Why the double 1 should lily bs employed in the words spell, well, heir, smell, fell, and others, while one 1 is considered sufficient in rebel, propel, ogoel, repel, expel, etc., is not apparent to ordinary intelligence, or explicable by any philological and etymological reasons. Why English writers, talkers and printers should persist in ignoring the past tenses of so many verbs in daily use passes comprehension, po needless and so anomalous W Uie laxy and incorrect habit into which some good writers, os well as the vulgar, have permitted themselves to fall. “I Md him do it now,” ii correct, but “I hid trim do it yesterday,” in which the present tense is used instead of bade in Uie past, is an indefensible corruption. Among the verbs which have been deprived of Uielr past tenses and their preterites may ho specified to bet, to beat, to let, to spread, ‘ cut, to put and to abut There are no grammatical or any other reasons why they sliuuld not hare been among the^erfas which liavo inflections in other languages, but never had in English, though they ought to have the original ordering of the language. “Can” and "must” have not even the infinitive “to can" and “to must.” “Can" has a past tense (•'could”), hot no future, which can only be rendered by the para phrase “I shall be able” or “it will be in my power." "ifusl” has neither a post nor a future—“I must do it today" has to bo put Into the past tense .by roundabout locution, “i was obliged to do it,” or “It was necessary that I should do it;" while the future of the verb falloir, which, in tbs corresponding case, in tlie more precise language of the French, is il faut, becoming U faudra in the future, is in English only to be expfesreB by a paraphrase, expressive both of compulsion and obligation in futurity. •—Nineteenth Century.

Cream strawberries are the newest sweetest things In the candy market The luscious red berry is first dipped in cold water and then plunged in to a cream bath of rose, lemon, vanilla, orange or pistaclie flavor, the stem and little green leaf remaining.

It is a well known and generally accepted fact that the aggregate results of a year's labor will 1« greater Ju the case of tbs man who works ten mnntha and plays two in the year than ia the case at the man who works twelve straight months.

J do hot mean for you to g< tshionable summer resort, have your , mail come from the city every day, and indulging in dancing, bathing, dinners and all other sorts of social diwdpoiions. This would only be jumping from the frying pan into the fire. What I mean is to go to some quiet farm house in the mountains, or with your family or a few jovial friends go and camp oat in the pine wOods, on the luniks of a dear pure spring or lake, where you can get good felling and hunting. Take along your rod and reel, gun and dog; leave behind your mail and all huainew matters.

The Nice police a fcS weeks ago caught another spy, this time said to be in the military service of Italy. He was brought up for trial before the tribunal, when be gave his name as Feter Contin, and said that he Was born at Agram, Austria- The police alleged, howevi that his real name was Cuntini, and that he was an officer in the Italian resen About twenty wituesaca were called prove that ha had pasaed himself off sometimes as an Kngliiliirmn. at others as a Swiss, and as an Austrian; that ha had followed the autumn maneuvers of the French troops, and had been seen making drawings of the fortifications of Nice, Toulon and Marseilles. Some of these plans, together with technical descriptions, were found in his boxes, and lieu. Gamier due Gareta. commander of the Nice garrison, said they would bo of the greatest value to an enemy.

A soda Fountain Norally. The roost startling soda fountain city, though, is “crushed violets.” The sirup is manufactured under a patent by a Philadelphia firm, and when served up with the usual carbonic fixx makes a delicately flavored, sweetish drink, which is host described as tasting exactly violets smell. The socret of the flavor belongs to the manufacturer. It is not derived in any way from violeta—that is quite certain. The violet, when crushed, gives forth none of that grateful perfume which U somehow manufactured within the veins of the plant and exhaled from the blossom. None of the odor of violeta ia obtained from the flowers. A distillation of their juice gives an acrid compound of no pleasant odor. The perfume is all manufacture.! artificially and orris root is its base. Probably orris root is the base also of the flavoring which enters into this new drink.—Kansas Citv Globe. A Bad Doe'.
