THE eca.selpent season opens unusu-
ally brisk this year. a Philadelphia
schooner has sailed into port with the
heads and skins OF two monsters he
states were killed by him. The most in
teresting part OF the Captains story is
that the crew ate tho serpents and rel
ishcd the food. This will do
for a pointer for the seaside hotel
man. He can not only advertise
the annual appearance OF the sea
serpent at his resort, but can make his
serpentship doubly attractive by placing
him on the bill OF fare.

FRIDAY FINDS CRusoE.
Strange Meeting between wild Man and
His Master.

His Master.
A strange scene occurred the other
day in one Of the booths at Paris fair.
The great attraction" was an uncivil.
lied individual described as a bona fide
savage Of extraordinary ferocity."
This parsonage, who rejoices in the
name OF Colo" was squatting in cage
provided with strong bars and bolts, and
the inhabitants of tho Western town
we're streaming into the booth to con-
template his visage and acquaint them
selves with his manners and habits,
when his stern gaze was suddenly seen
to relax.
Tears soon flowed down his sable
cheeks, and, sobbing violently, he
rushed to the door Of his cage, and,
pushing back the bolt, threw his arms
round gentleman who had just walked
in. At first 1t was imagined that this
Child OF Nature" had taken leave of
his senses, and the spectators started
back in fear and trembling, expecting
every moment to see the stern wild man
throttle the person he had singled out
from among the company for his atten-
tions.
Soon, however, their apprehensions
we're dispelled. for the gentleman was
also noticed to betray symptoms Of emo
tion. II turned out that "Colo" had
been in his service for some time in
Martinique, and that four years ago he
had come TO France in search Of his
master, to whom he was much attached.
The faithful creature had proceeded
from one town to the other exhibiting
himself at fairs with this one object al
ways in view.
His master was so much touched al
this proof of affection that then and
there he took "Colo" once more into his
service. Paris Letter.

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
without Participates and the Like II Con
tains Forty Thousand words.

without Participates and the Like II Con
tains Forty Thousand words.
An interesting question suggested by
an ancient waif Of book is the number
OF English words now existing. Con
siderable difference OF opinion exists on
this point. Mr. George 7 Marsh an
American author of repute, in his
Lectures on the English Language, +"
estimates that the number (in 1861
probably does not fall short Of 100, 000;'
and large additions especially in art
and science, have como into use since
that date. Other writer's, however,
come TO different conclusion, and think
that 40, 900 would include the whole. 1t
depends good deal on how calculalio
are made II all the subsidiary words
-participles and the like-are to be
taken into account it will swell the
sum total very considerably.
Taking the first three words that 90
cur at random, we find that from de.
monstrate," in one of our modern die
tionaries, there are thirteen deriva.
tives; from the word bright there are
twelve, and from deplore" there are
ten. There is also redundance in other
forms In one Of Todd's editions of Dr.
johnson there are upward of eighty
words, with the prefix ''all"-all-com-
plying. all-diyining, all-drowsy, and so
on-a very notable instance OF diction-
airy padding. In ways like these the
vocabulary may be indefinitely in
creased. Probably, If we take lead
ing words and all their deriva-
tives, the number at the present time
viii exceed Mr. Marsh's estimate. An
approximate veriiication of this may be
found by multiplying the number OF
pages in any good modern dictionary by
the average number of words in a page.
Shakespeare's works, it is believed,
include about fifteen thousand separate
words, and Millions about eight thou
sand; but from these figures we have no
criterion of the extent of the actual
English vocabulary. 1t may be
cram has only about seven or eight
thousand words, there are in Bailey's
Dictionary approximately about thirty |
six thousand, and in Johnson's not more |
than that In some of the larger
modern works, again, the figures, as
has been said, reach to upward of one |
hundred thousand.
In DIR. Johnson's vocabulary many |
technical and scientific terms were |
omitted, and in his original preface he |
excuses himself in a very naive and
fashion. II could not"
he says, visit caverns to learn the
miners language, nor take voyage to
perfect my skill in the dialect of nav
igation, nor visit the warehouses OF
and the shops of artiticers to
gain the names of wares, tools and op-
erations of which no mention is found
in books" An adverse critic might be
inclined to ask: Why not2 But all the
same, it viii be readily conceded that

"HlLT HER HOLT"



She never had any children Of her
own; but 10 several generations Of
Sandy Ridge young folks she has been
Aunt Jinsey.a Her life has been
narrow, and her experience limited In
its range Until last year, the events
which made epochs in Aunt Jinseys
experience were tho completion OF her
first quilt, her baptism In Tussahaw
creek, her sighting Of Deacon BARNES
three-months' widower whom she was
sixteen, her marriage four years later 70
Jabez Golightly, and the winning OF a
blue ribbon on her fortieth birthday by
her Jersey heifer at the country fair.
But last year she saw wonderful new
phase OF life. In July, Uncle Jack be-
gan to get ready for their annual visit
TO his brother David who lives fifteen
miles distant However, instead OF
driving there along the chaming coun'
try road, as has been their want for
forty years, starting in the early morn
ing, beneath pink sunrise skies, jogging
along past dewy fields and just awaken
ing woods, arriving while the morning
glories yet held out their red and blue
cups, the old couple decided TO make
the trip in a way novel 10 them both
This decision brought to both Of then
much trepidation, but more eagerness
On the appointed day, they drove, with
quickening pulsc-beats, the long ten
miles to j., a small station on the
railroad newly constructed through this
section of the East There they took
the cars for ride OF seven miles to
tank, whore an obliging conductor was
in tho habit of letting passengers off.
This tank was only two miles from
David Golightly's.
Aunt Jinsey lived through IL, though,
from the moment when the locomotive
screeched and pulled off at J. until
It stood stone still at the tank, she did
not expect to.
Yes, Dave" said Uncle Jabe, a few
days after, ''we'll be obliged ter you ter
send MS home behind yore ole mare
amt or honin' so powerful pertielsler
ter be whizzed inter turnal lSyos by thet
thing"
And his good woman added: "Yes,
Dave; the ole mares sartainly prop
erer critter TO pull us home than thet
whoopin injine."
But it was an experience that actual
ly enriched existence for these two
kindly souls. When the apple-ckeeked
Sandy Ridge girls and boys cluster
around Aunt Jinsey now to hear her tell
the marvellous story of her tour, and
when she has graphically described the
hooting and the roaring, the wbirring
and the buzzing, the shaking up and
the shooting wildly through space, they
always ask hreathlessly;
"And what did you do, Aunt Jinsey?n
She wipes her face with her clean
checked apron and, drawing deep
breath, replies: Law, law, my precious
