Estimates of Different Authorities and .
Comparison of dictionaries

Estimates Of Different AutlsritIes and .
Comparison of DIctIonaries.
An interesting question suggested by
an ancient waif of q book Is the number
of English words now existing. Con.
siderable difference of opinion exists on
this point. Mr.. George p. Marsh, an
American suthnr of repute, in his Lee
lures on the English Language" est
mates that the number (in 1861 prob
ably does not fall short Of 100000" and
large additions, especially in art and sci
ence, have come into use since that date.
Other writers, however, come to n differ
ent conclusion, and think that 40, 900
would include the whole. 1t depends o
good deal on how calculations are made.
II all the subsidiary words-participles
and the like-are TO be taken into &C
count, it will swell the sum total very
considerably.
Taking the first three words that oc-
II at random, we find that from dem
onstrate," in one Of our modern diction-
aries, there are thirteen derivatives;
from the word e" 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 ''alln-all-comply.
ing, all-divining, all-drowsy, and so on
"A very notable instance of dictionary
padding. In ways like these the vocab-
ulary may be indefinitely increased.
Probably if we take leading words and
all their derivatives, the number at the
present time will exceed Mr.. Marsh's es,
tjIn9sa An approximate ~verifcation
Of this may be found by multiplying the
number of pages in any good modern
dictionary by the average number oil
words in a page.
Shakespeare's works, it is believed, in
clude about 5000 separate words, and
Millions about 5000; but from these fig
ares We have no criterion of the extent
Of the actual English vocabulary. 1t may
be mentioned here hat while Cockeram
has only about 1000 or 5000 words,
there are in Bailey's Dictionary approx
imately about @ 5000, and in Johnson's
not more than thht. In some Of the
larger modern works, again. the figures,
rs has been snid, reach to upward of
$1,000.
In DIR. Johnson's vocabulary many
technical and scientific terms were omit
ted, and in his original preface he ex-
cuses himself in a very naive and char
hcteristic fashion. 81 could not, he says,
visit caverns to learn the miners Ian
guage, nor take a voyage to perfect my
skill in the dialect of navigation, nor
visit the warehouses of merchants and
the shops of artiicers to gain the names
of wares, tools n operations Of which
no mention is found In books. An ad-
verse critic might be inclined to ask:
Why not? But, all the same. it will be
readily conceded that he did n great
work according to his lights. The science
Of philology has been revolutioniEed since
his day, but his labors largely contrib
uted to tho earlier stages Of its progress

At the surgical congress Mt Berlin Pro-
fessor Gluck, of Berlin. gave an exhibi.
ton showing a most valuable advance
in surgery-nnmely, the successful sub
%stitution of catgut, ivory and bone freed
from chalk for defects in bones, muscles
and nerve sinews. The juices of the
body are sucked up in the inserted ma
t@erial, thereby establishing the junction
of the separated ends, without any short
ening of the part. He presented the
cases of patients in whom there had
been an insertion of from six to ten cent?
metres of catgut to supply defects In the
leaders of the hands, to which complete
mobility had been restored. This case
had previously been impossible. In the
case of another patient Professor Gluck
removed n tumor from the thigh, caus-
ing a considerable defect In the bone.
He inserted ivory, and no shortening en-
sued. In another case he removed a
large piece of nerve in the groin and in
serted catgut, and the functions re-
NAMED completely satisfactory. These
hre considered wonderful achievements

The most convenient and Immediately
affective is the ancient Japanese or Chi
nese headache cure called menthol, or
camphor of peppermint. It should be
rubbed upon the head and face all over
the region of the fifth pair of nerves,
avoiding the eyes, until there is an agree
able sensation of refreshing GOODNESS. II
properly used thus, and its fumes in
hailed, which it gives out when heated
by the hand, the relief and comfort is
immense. When there is a general SEN
sation of exhaustion five drops of pure
chloroform and a t~easpoonful Of red
lavender, mixed in a glass Of cold water
by a druggist, is excellent; follow it as
o as possible with some light refresh
ment.
When the system needs immediate
n~ourishment, drink a glass Of milk made
as hot as it a be swallowed, taking it
in long sips. Phosphates, in addition to
the hot milk, will feed the brain tissues,
and, taken persistently, will enable one
to do a vast deal of work without e1-
haustion.
Egg yolks beaten to a cream with pow
dered Sugar. and the whites beaten to a
froth, and both shaken thoroughly with
cold milk, refresh ane sustain during
night work.
The various c~ryscsflized fruits, espe-
cially cherries and r~aisins, and such
thoroughly cooked sweetmeats a jams
and jellies re good. OF course, none Of
these sweets are to be eaten as they arc
at the table, but rather taken as distrao-
tons to the tense system.-Cor.

Fourth of July has been made of late
years the excuse for So many tiresome
oratorical efforts of fervid patriots who
have spread over the national holiday so
many sentimental apostrophes upon free
dom, liberty, universal suffrage and other
blessings which have long ago been ac-
cepted as part of our political existence,
and taken as matters OF course. that any
attempts to draw new lessons from the
day are often put down as bulcombe.
But as today recurrence of the ma,
tional holiday marks for US in Wyoming
the commencement OF a new political ex-
i~stence, with responsibilities in many re-
spects similar to those assumed by the
men OF the earlier days of the nation, a
retrospective glance today is not out Of
place, and there are lessons in the history
of the days of &c which are strkingly
applicable to Us now.
Even when the battle for liberty had
been fought and won, there were, the
history of the times tells US, men who
bAGAANAt4 hAHAHAGA lol AhL INV AtlubllD-
There were not wanting the usual per-
centage of pessimists who predicted high
taxes, poor crops, hard times and general
decentralization when the fostering care of
the rich mother country was wholly with
drawn and the new nation left to its own
There were those who pre-
dicted bankruptcy and ruin for their
adopted country and to escape the coming
evils returned to England. Had the men
whom we have honored in story and
speech for nearly a century been influenced
by these croakers the birthday of the
nation would have been deferred many
wears. Happily for us they were not so
influenced and with faith in their country
and themselves they laid the foundation
for this great nation
If there are any in Wyoming, as we
are about to assume the higher duties
and responsibilities of a new political ex-
i~stence. who are narrowed by visions OF
future disaster, today is afitting time for
them to look backward over the history
of the times a hundred years ago. If in
the history of those times they find moth
ing which stirs within them n determine
ton to put forth every effort to aid in the
builiing up Of a great commonwealth in
Wyoming, then there is something radi-
cally wrong in their mental makeup. If
the lessons of the early days OF the re
public fail to brace up their hopes for
Wyoming's future, the sooner they de-
eide that they are not in accord with the
environments OF the West the better it
will be fer themselves and the community.
To those who have faith in the future of
the new state and who mean to stay with
it in Its building up, the lessons of the
day, hackneyed though they NAV be with
repetition, will be a stimulous to patri-
otto effort which will not fail Of ultimate
and merited reward.

n Sooo DOG, ana weighs 100 rounds.
A well known resident of Oakland haA
a large Newfoundland dog that is a Won
der in his way-and he weighs about 100
pounds. The gentleman walked into
the business Office, accompanied by his
dog, and purchased an additional paper
to mail to a relative in Illinois. This
paper was wrapped up, and after placing
a 2-cent stamp on the wrapper and ad-
dressing 1t the gentleman gave the pap0
to the dog.
The owner got into his buggy and
drove to the postofice, the dog running
alongside the horse. At the p~ostoffics
the gentleman stopped, but the dog
didn't. He mounted the steps, trotted
down the corridor TO the receiving boxes,
and, taking hold of one end of the paper
In his teeth, he inserted the other In the
opening into the paper box, and with his
nose pushed it through the hole. He had
no hesitancy about brushing his wet
coat up against the light check trousers
OF several young men standing near this
box, and when one of them wanted to
help him to push the paper through thu
opening he growled, as much as to sag
he new his business and could get along
without outside assistance.
After depositing the paper in the box
the dog bounded out again to his master
who was waiting for him. ct took ms
two weeks to train him to do that trick.

The following mixture has been used
with the greatest possible success for the
cementing of iron railing tops, iron
gratings to stoves, etc; in fact, with such
effect as to resist the blows of n sledge
hammer. This mixture is composed Of
equal parts of sulphur and white lead,
with about o~ne-sixth proportion of borax,
the three being thoroughly incorporated
together, so as y form one homogeneous
mass. When the application is to be
made of this composition it is wet with

oddities of the Egg Market

A leading commission merchant saidi
"The egg business is the most annoying
one in the world. During the cold weather
In the winter the hens quit laying, but
everybody wants to eat eggs. Conse-
quently they go so high that the grocers
can't keep pace with their customers. In
the spring, just as soon as eggs get plen-
tiful, people quit eating them, and we
have to sell them to packers, who pickle
them for consumption later on. Thes
Eggs that are packed are not liked by
consumers, and SO you see the egg dealer

Colorado"
Even If the public were disposed to
overlook Colorado it would be impossible
to do so. because OF the continued and per-
sistent self assertion of its papers. Our
remark concerning Wyomiug's resource
was made in cold blood and it is now
reiterated with all possible emphasis.

mr. p@LUNKETTN LETTER.


An interesting letter will be fouDd in
another column rom mr.. rioracs prank-
EFT, author OF an article on The Work
ing of Woman Suffrage in Wyoming in
the May number OF the Fornigiay Re
Uieto.
In a notice of the article in question
The LEADER, speaking of one portion,
said:
His information is not always accurate,
as, for instance, when he says. In Wy
oming the male canyassor who makes his
terms with the party organizer is not
without his counterpart III petticOats.
Rat she deals chiefly with the u%nfortu.
nate class, who are not IN practice. and in
the light of day, quite such an important
factor as is generally supposed.
Although unintentiOnally so, this is a
gross libel upon the women of Wyoming.
Never in the history of Wyoming has n
political bargain been made by the women
with the unfortunate class" Such bar
gains have. however, been made by the
male politicians.
1t is gratifying to learn hat the mean
ing Mr.. Plunkett intended to convey by
the sentences in question is not what an
inter probation of the words themselves
would suggest.
During the twenty years test Of The
woman suffrage question i'll Wyoming, no
word could ever be truthfully said reflect
ing upon the purity and honesty of Wy
oming women in political matters, and
this fact sweeps aside one of the common
arguments against the system made by
theorists.
Any semblance Of a slur or misstate-
meut upon this particular point, even
though made unintentionally or arising
from an unfortunate use of words. will
be taken exception to without hesitancy
here where there is naturally a sensitive
ness on the question that does not exist
elsewhere.
