Searching Out Word Meanings.

A work which is expected to revolution
ize the system Of dictionary making at
present in vogue is just being published at
Paris by Delagrave-the "Dictionnaire
Generate de la Langue Francais," of which
the late Professor Arsene Darmesteter, Of
the College de France, and Professor HAITI
field are the authors. 1t represents the first
attempt in any language to trace the his
torical development Of the various mean
ings of words and to reduce them to one or
two primitive Specifications. The word
''bureau," for example, is provided with a
complete pedigree, the new dictionary
showing that it was applied originally to a
particular species Of wooden stuff named
bure, with which desks and tables were
covered. Then it came to be attributed to
tables themselves, afterward to the room
in which the table was placed, and finally
to the persons assembled in the room at
the table in question. ~

AN UNFoUNDED REPORT THAT THE
COFFEE PLANT IS DYING OUT.

The Ceylon Source of Supply May Have

IL Prepared for Use. ~
Copyright by American Press Association
Somebody livingin Colombo, Ceylon, has
written to m American friend, and it has
been freely given to the press, that "the
time Is not far distant when coffee will
have ceased to be the beverage of the peo-
ple." he gives as a reason that a parasite
has attacked the plant and is gradually
killing it, and that the planters in Ceylon,
seeing the berries die, nave found a substi-
tute in tea, the export Of which has in
creased rapidly from 5000 pounds per year
to 60,0OO,00O pounds"
The statement was of such Importance as
to warrant an investigation, and it has
been promptly met by the assurance on the
part Of some Of the best representatives Of
the coffee market-men like Maj. John G..
McNulty and Mr.. F.. B. Thurber-that the
crops Of Central America and Brazil,
whence we derive our largest supply of
coffee, are rs per cent. larger than they
have been for several years past. In fact

The Story of a Young Actress
With Great Aspirations.
SHE Is LIKE THE GREAT RACHEL,

Judith Berelde's Career on the Stage
. Grew Out of Her Resemblance to the
Famous Actress Who Lived and Died
Long Ago.
Sixty years ago two little girls wandered
about the French city Of Lyons, singing in
squares, on doorsteps and before the open
entrances of the taverns. Now and then
they were given a centime or two for their
erouble, but oftener they received nothing
but harsh words. One day when the num-
Der of coins tossed to them had been smaller
even than usual the two sisters stopped be-
fore a house where a gay party was gath
cred and sang their best. That best was
30 good that NJ. Choran, an eminent mas
Ter of singing who was n of the listeners,
was impressed by it. When they went
home that night they had a double hand
full of centimes and a gold piece or two as
well.
A few days afterward NJ. Choran found
his way to the squalid lodgings where the
sisters lived with their father, a Hebrew
peddler named Felix. He made a PROPOSE
ton to the peddler, and some shining coins
passed from the pocket of M. Choran to
that ofhis listener. When M. Chcran went
out into the streetagain he led by the hand
the younger of the two sisters, who looked
almost too insignificant to be named Eliza
beth Rachel Felix.
M. Choran trained the voice of the little
Jewess with great care and it developed
rapidly. Before long, however. he realized
that the girls great talent was not for
singing, but for acting. By this time she
was IA or Is years old and very beautiful.
N. Choran went with her to the dramatic
school of M. Pagua St. Aulaire. If her
progress in singing had been rapid, her
progress in acting was phenomenal.
In 1887 she appeared at the Paris Gym
nase in LA Vendee." Her failure was
complete. In 1888 she appeared at the
Theatre Franchise in lies Horaces." Her

TEXAS PROGRESS.

BEEvILLE, Aug. 5.-Many improve
ments continue to be made in Beeville
and the country around, and q great
deal of land Is being sold to actual set
tiers to be improved next winter. The
great improvement in this southwestern

CENTRAL AMERICAN STATUS.
An Indefinite Struggle Looked for Unless
the United states or Mexico
Interferes.

PANAMA, Aug. Sit is believed here
that Salvador is now IN a most precarious
situation. Her whole available strength
of 20, 900 troops has been thrown into
Guatemala with reported success. This
little army growing smaller with each
engagement is pushing forward into the
heart of the enemy's country. II is to
be feared, however, that when Gaute-
mala and Honduras have modified
their forces they will overwhelm the lit
tie army which seems to have already
wandered beyond the lines of possible re-
treat. 1t is feared in that event Saliva
dor will be able to make but poor show
of defense when the tide of in
vasion returns. Then It is thought
win be the time for Nicaragua
and Costa Rica to take the field.
Even then however, unless means comes
TO the aid of the smaller states the prob
abilities are that Guatemala will be en-
abled to impose her rule upon the entire
country aud substitute q centralized
military government for the proposed
Federal union. Meanwhile Guate-
mala has to settle serious &C.
counts with the United States on
account of the seizure by Guatemala at
San Jose de Guatemala on the 18th inst.
of war supplies on board the Pacific mail
steamer Colima, legally shipped ut San
Francisco for San Salvador. No intima-
ton had been given of a
state of siege having been declared
before the Colima sailed. It is
understood here that Mr.. Blaine
has taken prompt action in the matter.
Aside from this episode strong hopes are
entertained among a large circle that
the United States will put forth Its best
endeayors to smooth over the quarrel
and stop the war ere il goes too
far. As long, however, as Salvador,
Nicaragua and Costa Rica have a SOL
der left to take the fields, they will be
satisfied with nothing less than q posi-
tive abandonment on the part of Guate-
mala of her projects for extending her
title throughout Central America. II
Uncle Sans friendly offers can't
bring this about the only hope will
be in the direction of Mexico,
whose interests would always be threat
ened by a strong republic in Central
America, which, under the rule of
Guatemala, would always be hostile
u sighbor. 1t is also question whether
Colombia would relish such neighbor
any more than Mexico. That she would
actively interfere, however, is not at all
likely. That is about the situation just
at present. What the future develop
ments will be it is impossible to foresee,
the possibilities as indicated being SO
various. The only certainty is that the
final denouement is ependent on the
ultimate success or reverses OF the Sal
vador arms.
