They had been discussing that ever
lasting scivant probhin. which ran al
ways bo depended upon to furnish n
topic for conversation when threo or
four women ore gathered together. Each
bad told of her experience with lier
"help," when one of them raid:
"My new housemaid is tbo greenest
girl you ever saw in your life. Her ig
norance is n perpetuul sourco of wonder
to me. The day after I got her I went
out shopping and told her if any ouc
called during my nbsruco to Ray I w as
out and ask bin name. Thcso scented
pimple instruction, but I thought iho
would need tin in.
"When I returned, I asked if any
body hud called.
" 'Yes, mum; they did,' the replied.
" 'Who were they?'
" 'They wouldn't tell their names,'
she answered.
"Wouldn't tell their names I' I ex
claimed in surprise.
'"Yes, mum; but I think ouo of
them said "bananas" and the othn
"rags."'
"I demanded further particulars.
"'I tried to tell them yon was out
and ask their names. You hadn't been
gone very long when one of them cnnin.
It was the man who called "banauus."
I rcmembtred what you said, mum, and
I went after him and told him you was
out Ho asked me if I wanted nny bu
nanus, and 1 told him no; that you was
out, and asked what was his name,
But ho wouldn't tell cue. It was the
name with tho other person who called.
Ho called "rags" and only laughed at
me when I ran after him.' "Chicago

Teach Spelling- Prom the Blackboard.
A revival of the old fashioned spelling
school has been tried in some localities.
but only to prove that it does not, as a
rule, reach the poor spellers. They stay
away from it they are not wonted in a
spelling match. The spelling school was
lor the glorification of the good spellers.
It did something, no doubt, for depraved
bruin cells before such mysteries were
ever heard of in connection with spell
iug books before physicial inertia
could be charged to weuk valvular heart
action, and ugly tempers to microbes,
and all tho rest. The spelling school be
longs to a past dispensation, says my
friend, hut it suggests whut might do
much for orthography, if the blackboard
were made a conspicuous feature mid
the uttentiou concentrated upon the
reading and writing of sentences, of
which the following might be un exam
pie: "Mr. Wright, the wheelwright,
does not write rito rightly, with help.
ful stories occasionally like thut of tho
teacher who wrotu upon tho bourd the
tliree words, "Boys, bees, beur, " asking
the children to construct und write i
sentence in which these words would b
used intelligently, one boy giving at
oiieo, "Boys bees bear when they goes
in swimming. " Jane Mursh Parker in

Argentina Railroad.
In the Argentine Republic the service
of trains is appallingly irregular, chief
ly owing to the bad state of the perma
ueut way, which, when once laid,
left to take care of itself. The perma
nent way in some parts of the line is in
such a dilapidated condition that al
most every train is thrown off the rails.
This astounding fact is contained in a
recent report of the railway concerned.
1 he rate of traveling, too, ia astonish'
iug. At one spot, on a go as you please
local line, no train ever travels faster
than miles per hour. One may vary
the monotony of the journey by getting
out and taking a quiet stroll along the
