Revising the Dictionary.
New York Commercial Advertiser


But the work that most needs doing in the
case Of Websters Dictionary is of more radical
kind. The original compiler of that work was a
man with mission. He wanted to reform En-
glish spelling, and he conceived it to be the
function of dictionary not merely to represent
usage, but to make law. He wanted to spell
bridegroom" without the T in the second syl-
liable, and Feather" without the a. He put all
his fads into his dictionary and some Of them
have been accepted, while others have been res
olutely rejected. 1t has been the policy of later
editors to remove from the work those forms
that have been generally rejected, but they have
done that too sparingly and the result is that, in
many respects, Webster's Dictionary even in its
latest editions is at variance with the usage of
scholars and educated people generally. But
the schoolmasterS of the country insist upon
Websterian spelling SO strenuously that no
school book in which such forms as height"
mould, etc. appear can make its way into
the schools. AS a consequence, orr children are
carefully taught many forms which they must
make an effort to forget in order to write the
language as educated persons usually write it.
1t is of the utmost public consequence there
FORE that the editors of Webster shall recognize
the truth that a dictionary is properly not
statute book but record Of usage, and shall
remove from it all those forms which scholars and
educated persons do not generally adopt. 1t is
no great matter whether the form height" or
the form hight" is to prevail nor is it Of much
consequence whether traveller" has one or two
Is; but it is pity to teach boys and girls to
write hight when educated persons usually
write height" 1t is pity to make them learn
things that they must presently unearn

The Best Wine Last.

So Cana said but still the first was good.
For skillful Nature wrought her very best;
Turning the sunshine into hues of blood
Bringing the ripened clusters to be pressed.
But this the Master brings: His silent eye
Flushes the sunshine of lettering year;
Be STILL guests, for Heaven is passing by!
Bow down, . Nature for your God is here!
And it is always so. Earths joys grow dim,
Like waning moons, they slowly disappear;
Our heavenly joys fill up the widening brim,
Ever more deep and full, more sweet and clsan
Sweet were His words, when DER the mountair
slope
He breathed his benedctons on the air;
Waking the sleeping angels, Faith and Hope,
Bidding them sing away the grief and care.
And yet, nethinks He speaks in sweeter tones,
Out of the shadow of the nearing cross;
Telling the mansions and the heavenly thrones,
Which soon shall recompense for earthly loss.
The good. the better and the last the best,
Ills is the order of the Masters wine;
More than the yesterdays to-days are blest,
And hfeS to-morrows may be more divine.
And what beyond! All! eye hath never seen,
Ear hath not heard the wonders that awaits
Earths lights are paling shadows to the sheen
OF untold glories just within the gate!
We bid Thee, Master, come and be our GuesM
life's common things Thou turnest into wine;
Our cares, our woes, our bitter tears are best,
1t only Thou dost cause Thy face to shine'

"NO ONE TO LOVE-"
The Author of This Song Lover Who
Wouldn't Run from Bullets.

The Author of This Song Lover Who
Wouldn't Run from Bullets.
Washington Letter in Boston Traveller
heard a curious story yesterday in regard to
the well-known song:
No one to love. none to caress!
Travelling alone through life's Wilderness. etc.
The author of this song lives here in Wash
ington and he boards at hotel within a square
or so of the White House. He is now man of
perhaps forty, and he wrote the song many
years ago He was in love with beautiful
girl and the day was fixed for their marriage.
In the interval between the er gagement and this
listed. He was on the field when the time ap-
preached for his wedding. 1t was on the eve of
a great battle, and that the first battle in which
the young man was to take part He wrote
to his sweetheart asking her to postpone
the day of the marriage until after
the fight This she refused to do,
and said if he did not return and keep his part
of the engagement she would consider the en-
gagement off The young man preferred to
trust to luck in regard to the engagement to be-
ing considered coward in running away from
his first battle, and remained on the field. His
lady-love, however was SO piqued at the refusal
that she persisted in her rejection of his suit and
married another man. Inspired with the feel
ing of the desertion, the rejected wrote the song
which had such wide run.
He not only wrote the song, but he remained
true to his first love, and for some time
the story goes, he has been living here with his
mother Not long ago. however, his loves hus-
band died, and since that time he has renewed
the acquaintance of the widow, who,r though
older than when he went to the war, is still
charming The old flame has, it is sad revived
in the fair widows breast, and there is a fair
prospect of mash.

Digging Up the Garden of Eden.

New York Correspondence st. Paul Pioneer Press.
The religious ardor of Miss Catharine Wolfe,
the wealthiest maiden lady in America takes
curious bents sometimes; but, as she dispenses
charity with a liberal hand, her eccentricities
are easily forgiven. A year ago she made up
her mind that the site Of the garden Of Eden
ought to be decided to a certainty. She believed
that, by excavating on the spot, something or
other would be dug up to settle all doubts of
the Adam and Eve story. She was will
ing to devote a hundred thousand dollars
to this object, more in case the early
results warranted further effort. She talked
with number of clergymen, antiquarians and
geographers, and for while got little encourage
ment for her scheme They told her that in all
probability the garden of Eden lay in what is
row known as the Chaldean country, but they
did not think that exploration would settle the
question beyond dispute. At length she found
the Rev. Dr. Hayes Ward man capable and
willing to carry out her project ] met him to-
dav after his return from a ten months visit to
the Euphrates and Tigris. This has been pre-
liminary Journey. The Turkish government
hindered him, and the few Baylonian bricks
cinders and tablets which he may have brought
back had to be smuggled from the country A
big expedition is now contemplated by Miss
Wolfe.
''Now, doctor honest and true said, "do
you believe there IS any prospect Of discovering
the garden of EdeEF
Il have honest hope of throwing more or less
light on the subject" was the reply. Even on
this tour we made important geographical dis
coveries in the region of Chaldea, south of
Babylon. We settled authoritatively the sites
Of several ancient cities. The best encourage
ment however, was in locating the original city
of Sppopa. on the banks of the Euphrates. 1t
was here that according to ancient Chaldean
history, Noah was commanded to bury all the

HOW NOT TO SMILE.
Trouble Which Actors Endure in Keeping
Their Faces Straight.

Baltimore Herald.
isn't it marvellous" said one man to another
at the Academy one night not long ago, chow
that fellow on the stage can say such ridiculous
ly funny things without allowing a ripple Of a
smile to creep across his countenance"
No, not marvellous, exactly" replied the
other, who was an actor, languidly lowering his
opera glasses and curling his mustache senten-
tiously, ''but it requires immense amount of
practice. 1t is one of those arts
which the public never appreciate until
brought into contact with some chattering idiot
who always laughs first at his own jokes. Then
the otfense become appalling. 10 keep from
laughing before an audience is difficult thing
to do, and often battles the most desperate
efforts Of lecturers and actors. To save their
souls they cannot choke off the miserable smile
that will come sneaking over the face at the
wrong time. Some of the funny men have spent
months of practice over this thing. Mark
Twain explains that he doesn't smile when
cracking jokes because saying funny things al
ways makes him feel sad.
1.-The most successful humorst on the stage is
he who has an expressive face which he can
settle into position Of calm and mournful de-
spair the moment the joke leaves his lips. The
more solemn the humorist the greater the effect
of his words Nothing pains or dampens the
enthusiasm of an audience so much as to dis.
cover that the funny man knows that he is
funny. When he laughs it makes them feel as
if he is simply inviting them to do likewise in a
They pay their money to see the show, and they
love to delude themselves with the idea that
they are actually discovering the humor them
selves, and that they are laughing spontane-
ously.
MANY devices have been put in use by actors
and lecturers to keep from smiling, but the
simplest and most effective is to put small
wooden button in the mouth and bite down on it
every time the impulse to laugh makes itself
manifest Some grit their teeth or cringe their
toes, and Hughey Dougherty, the famous min,
strel, for a long time resorted to the scheme of
sticking pin in his thigh. People who have
not been on the stage cannot imagine what
agony it is to attempt to keep from laughing.
For this reason they cannot sympathze
with that graceful fellow up there as he glides
about with sinuous motion alive with suggestive
gestures and drops one excruciating funny thing
after another Perhaps he is hardened and can
hold his skin taut but ten chances to one at this
very moment he is nervously clutching his
fingers, his leg muscles are contracted his scalp
is itching with suspense, and he would give one
thousand dollars could he hold board up in
front of him and indulge in a good square
smoker"

The Consolidation of Weak Churches.

Western Christian Advocate.
There is not city in America which has too
many churches; and we are satisfied that the
theory of consolidation of weak churches in
orner to build up strong organizations. is false
and dangerous thory. Suppose many congrega-
tons are small, and that some have become so
weak as to be unable to support pastors. Let
the strong churches come to their help. Make
missionary appropriations to them. By some
means keep all the churches open, and see
to it that the gospel is preached in
them regularly and earnestly. Congrega-
tons in South America are small,
but we push the battle there. Why
build churches in Rosario and sell churches in
Cincinnati? Why call it great success if we
get twenty five converts in Lucknow, and call it
q failure if we have hundred communicates at
Mclean Chapel! We have been following de-
iusive theory, and we must abandon it or suffer.
1t would be strange thing if, while we are
converting Asia. the cities Of America should
slip from our grasp. And yet they are doing it,
Cincinnati's hilltop resorts are crowded every
Sunday, but her churches not. Saloons null
hply while sanctuaries decrease. We must
awake from our lethargy one day we will find
sur large cities practically heather.

What is the process of embalmirg?r
''It depends on what disease the person to be
embalmed has died of. In case of drowning it is
necessary first to empty the stomach of water,
then with the trocar the gases are let out of the
abdomen. This, the stomach, and other cavities
are then filled with the fluid, after which the
point of the injector is inserted into the femora

afterward the brachial artery or if it is very
bad case the carotid or femoral artery. In

quarters of the Boston fish bureau, which were

since half century before the soldiers of the
Revolution filed in front of it, and which was
the scene of the literary labors and congenial
gatherings of such men as Hawthorne, "Old
Cakes" and Forrest the first mentioned of whom
wrote beneath its roof the Scarlet Letters"
The house was built in 1925 Of solid hewn
timbers. and so substantial was the work that
the timbers appeared as goodas new when taken
down some months ago. Some of the wood has
been fashioned into material for souvenirs of
Hawthorne and his colleagues, which will be
used in the new building.

Concerning Wrinkles.
Boston Jour


An authority discourses fuently upon the sub
iect of wrinkles. 1t may be said generally that
wrinkles are much more frequent IN men than
in women. The former are more exposed to the
sun, and take fewer precautions to protect the
complexion from air and light; they undergo
more muscular exerton, and are generally
thinner Nervous men have wrinkles sooner
and deeper than others; as have people who
have passed through alternate periods of
stoutness and emaciation. against certain
wrinkles there is no remedy, preventive or cura-
tive. Many would wish to arrest the flight of
time, but the Spanish proverb is still true: "El
dente miente, la cana engana, perro la arruga
desengana" tthe teeth may lie, white hairs de-
ceiye, but wrinkles never There are defensive
