An Enlarged vocabulary Needed,

The teacher needs an ever enlarging voca-
bulary. The pupils use Of words and idioms
depends largely upon the teachers use there
Of. The teacher who never uses new word,
who never expresses himself in an unexpected
way. will not develop his pupils in the use Of
many words, will not impart a love for the
discriminating use of words. Without a
special study Of ones self, one would be sur
prised to find how completely he has ceased
to enlarge his vocabulary. It needs feeding
for growth as much as lad Of 15 Ones
style must bc given new words. One does
not need to be searching for strange words
they should rather be avoided; he does not
need to search for words that are new, but
merely for those that are new to him.
Extemporaneous speakers who remember
their experiences in having an address repro
duced by a stenographer, especially if they
studied all its weakness, know very well what
we mean when we say that the teacher before
the class needs especially to introduce into
his own speech words to which he has not ac-
customed himself. A school committee could
do the schools no greater service for the
money than in employing an expert steno-
grapher to take every word of teacher and
pupils for one day. 1t would he aluost cruel
to put such linguistic photograph on record
as an examination Of teacher. but it would
show the teacher how valuable would be an
extension of his vocabulary.-Journal Of
Education.

only indication Of his years. He has the

Of his glances might almost be called furtive.
In speech he is impulsive, showing his hot

nounced German accent and finds difficulty

When Spreckels was poor he married
German girl who was employed as domes
tic in the family of large eastern sugar re-
finer. His family relations are understood
to be very pleasant Mr.. and Mrs. Spreckels
have four sons and a daughter. Their chill
lren have had every advantage in education,
and the daughter Is very accomplished. The
sons are all fineslooking young men Of pol
ished address and have Travelled great deal
In Europe. The father and mother, however,
it is said, do not aspire to shine in high life
Mr.. and Mrs. Spreckels visit their old associ-
ates and leave it for their children to mingle
with California millionaires.
A few years ago an unpleasant incident oc-
Cured to mar the comfort of the Spreckels
family. Young Ado1ph B. Spreckels shot
Michael H. De Young, the editor Of The San
Francisco Chronicle. He gave as cause for
the shooting an article in De Young's paper
as to the collapse of the Hawaiian CONNER
cial company which was controlled by the
Spreckels family. De Young's life was saved
by some books which he had in his arms
Mr.. Spreckels' interest in Hawaii Is very
considerable, consisting not only Of sugar in
terests, but anainterest In King Kalakaua, to
whom Mr.. Spreckels has loaned s., 10000
If the kings fortunes do not mend more rap
idly than they havo during the past fey
years..it is probable that Mr.. Spreckels' loan
win prove permanent investment.

Adultcration of Olive Oil.

Cottonseed oil enters even moro largely
into the adulteration of olive oil than OF
lard, of which, as now put upon the market,
it constitutes fully 40 per cent, according to
Mr.. Fairbanks recent testimony The reiin-
ing of cottonseed Oil is now carried to great
perfection, and so clear is the color thus III
sured that in using it for the adulteration of
olive oil there is no longer any reddish tint
to Indicate its presence, which can only be
proved by chemical analysis. The extent of
this admixture is sometimes found to reach
and even exceed Is per cent. One mode of
readily testing for this adulteration is by the
use of nitric protoxide of mercury, the yel-
low simple basic salt of this chemical combi-
nation being employed About ope-seventh
to one-sixth of an ounce of this is dissolved
in cylindrical test glass in about one-sixth
to one-fifth of an ounce of nitric acid
On this solution the oil to be tested is
poured in such quantity that the test glass is
about two thirds full; the two fluids are then
shaken together for about five seconds, the
changed in color being at once noticed.
Treated in this solution cottonseed oil be-
comes dark brown or almost black, but after
a short time tho solution becomes colorless
and clear. Pure olive oil has greenish or
light yellow tinge, while the solution under
the layer of oil assumes q dark red or brown
color. Mixed with 50 per cent of cottonseed
oil the olive oil assumes in this process brick
red to a browish red tinge, and mixture of
Is per cent. makes orange yellow to red yel-
low.-Chicago News.

Advice to Young Men,

And then, remember, you have to work.
Whether you handle pick or pen, wheel
barrow or set of books, digging bitches or
editing paper, ringing an auction bell or
writing funny things, you must work. If
you look around you, you will see that the
men who are most able to live the rest of
their lives without work are the men that
work the hardest.
Don't be afraid of killing yourself with
work It is beyond your power to do that.
Men cannot work SO hard as that on the
sunny side Of thirty. They die sometimes,
but it's because they quit work at 6 p. m. and
don't go home until 2 a. m. It's the interval
that kills. Work gives an appetite for meals;
it lends solidity to tho slumbers; it gives the
appreciation of a holiday. .
There are men who do not work, but the
world is not proud of them. It does not even
know their names; it simply speaks of them
as old So-and-So's boys. Nobody likes them,
nobody hates them: the great, busy world
doesn't even know that they are there. So
find out what you want to be and do, take off
your hot and make dust in the world. The
buster you are the less deviltry You will be
apt to get into, the sweeter will be your
sleep, the brighter and happier your holi-
days, and the better satisfied will tho world
be with you.-Burlington Hawkeye.

Latest Thing in Prison Reform.

The latest thing in prison reform is the
''fanily" system. Rochester, N. Y, is try
ing to introduce the family system into its
house of refuge, where the usual prison
method has proved failure after many
changes and frequent revolutions. This plan
was started at Herne, Germany, copied at the
Mettray and found successful through the
ten years past at Meriden, Conn. It slbsti-
tutes for I'LL the usual prison paraphernalia-
window bars, iron doors, armed watchmen-

Gernany's Two Armies.

The German army, when it is OH a war
footing, is divided into two principal parts.
First, the field ermee, or campaign army, and
second, the Bezatzungs arnee, or garrison
army, which remains in the country 1t is
made up from the different organizations at
the moment of mobilization.
The field army comprises the troops of tho
standing army placed Oh a war footing; the
field reserve troops arc organized at the mo-
ment Of mobilization, with the rcservists still
disposable, and the best elements Of the land
wher, with three special field formations ex-
clusively destined to the artillery and en-
gineering service.
The garrison army has three divisions, those
intended strictly for garrison duty, those in
charge OF depots, aud troops of the land
sturm. These two armies have each all the
necessary machinery of armament and SER
vicc, such as transportation, rations and halt
ing places, and they arc furnished at the mo-
ment of mobilization with commanders, staff
officers and everything necessary to their
proper administration.-Berli Cor. San

words. Some of them smiled q day or two
ago when Senator Riddleberger asked the
chair if there was any precedent for GER
tain action that had been taken, and Mr.
Ingalls, promptly replied that he knew of no
such precedent. These senators were no
wider apart regarding the pronunciation of
this word than other senator's are on many
other words. For instance, there are four
distinct senatorial ways Of pronouncing the
word finance. Mr.. Sherman says finance.
Joe Brown calls it fce-nance, Senator Nor
rill pronounces it fin-ancc, and President In
gals comes out ep,phatically with finance,
putting the accent :lpon both syllables. Mr..

all, the correct one. At any rate, when be
