A discovery in chronological and Ma

in Lebanon Mr. Smith was admitted to
the most secret intimacy with the Druses
for having saved the life of young man
by sucking the venom of a snake bite
from his body, He was initiated into
the Druses' hitherto unknown mysteries
and in these the natives started him as
a Freemason by using the most charac-

The Pennsylvania State Teachers Asso-
ciation will hold its next meeting at Mauch
Chunk on July 8, o and 10. The Executive
| Committee consists of Supt 7, A. Sny der,
Lehlghton; Prof. H. w. Fisher Pittsburgh
Supt. M. j. Brecht, Lancaster; Supt. A. G.
z. Smith, Media; and Supt. II. Hugus,
| Greensburg. The President of the Asso-
citation is Supt. r. M. McNea Steelton.
These names are a sufficient gurantee that
good programme will be presented, and
an interesting meeting may be looked for.
The local arrangements are under the gener-
al management of Supt. Snyder, who has a
corps of able assistants to aid him in the
work. Carbon county is willing and able
to take good care of the Association, and
we are sure that her teachers, who are de-
voted to their profess ion, will haYe a harty
welcome for the teachers and friends of
education from all parts of the State
The town of Mauch Chunk Is situated in
gorge formed by nature for the passage of
the Lehigh river through the mountains,
The surrounding region is famed for the
grandeur of its scenery. Lofty hills rising
into mountains haYe caused it to be known
very widely as the Switzerland of Ameri-
ca" The Switchback Railroad leads up
from the town to the top of Mount Pisgah,
some eighteen hundred feet above the river.
The distance over which the cars run by
gravity is about eighteen miles, and to
make the trip is an experience never to be
forgotten. The views from the car as 1t
speeds on its way through the mountains
are at times magnificent. Altogether this
is one of the most famous plesure.roads in
America, and many thousand tourists and
visitors are carried over It every season.
Glen Onoko, with its shady hooks, its
pictureque retreats, Its charming waterfalls
admirably supplements the Swltchback as
an attraction ofthe locality, ana is per.
haps even more enjoyed by the average
tourists and sight-sesr.

HOW MANY woaps M ENGLISH.



Fstimates of Dineront Authorities and q
Comparison OF Dictionaries.
An interesting question suggested by
ON ancient waif Of a book is the number
of English words now existing. Con-
siderable difference of opinion exists ON
this point Mr. George p. Marsh, an
American author of repute. in his Lee
lures on the English Language, esti-
mates that the number din iSGl) prob
ably does not fan short of 100000" and
large additions, especially in art and sci
ence, have come into use since that date.
Other writer's, however, come to a differ
emit conclusion, and think that 1900
would include the whole. 1t depends a
good deal on how calculations are made.
IL all the subsidiary words-participles
and the lil1e-are to be taken into ac-
count, it win swell the sum total very
| considerably.
Taking the first three words that oc-
cur at random, we find that from dem
onstrate, in one of our modern diction-
aries, there are thirteen derivatives;
from the word " bright" there are
twelve, and from "deplore" there are
ten. There is also redundance III other
forms. In one of Todd's editions of DR..
johnson there are upward Of eighty
words with the prefix al" -all-comply-
ing, all-divining, all-drowsy, and so on
"a very notable instance of dictionary
padding. In ways like these the yocab-
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-
innate. An approximate verifcation
of this may be found by multiplying the
number Of pages in any good modern
dictionary 10y the average number OF
words in page.
Shal5espeares works, it Is believed, in
clude about $4,000 separate words, and
Millions about 5000; but from these fig
ures we have no criterion Of the extent
of the actual English vocabulary. 1t may
be mentioned here that while Cockeran
has only about 1000 or 5000 words
there are in Bailey's Dictionary approx
imately about 86, 600, and in Johnson'i
not more than that. In some of the
larger modern works, again, the figures
as has been said, reach to upward d
100, coo.
In DR.. Johnson's vocabulary man!
technical and scientific terms We're omit
ted, and in his original preface he ex
cuses himself in a very naive and char
acteristic fashion. 81 could not, he says
"visit caverns to learn the miners Ian
guage nor take voyage to perfect m,
skill in the dialect Of navigation, no
visit the warehouses of merchants anC
the shops of artificers TO gain the name
of wares, tools and operations Of whicl
no mention is found in books. An ad
verse critic might be inclined to ask
Why not? But, all the same, it win b
? readily conceded that he did a grea
work according to his lights. The scienc
of philology has been reyolutionized sine
his day, but his labors largely contrib
uted to the earlier stages of its progress

The phonograph people have property
which grows more valuable with the
lapse Of every year. Many cylinders are
slowed away with marvelously interest
ing records upon their waxen surfaces.
The Gladstone cylinder is exhibited only
on rare occasions and to distinguished
guests. 1t is already an extremely valu-
able record. and at Gladstone's death II
will probably be worth 81 600. A cylin-
der containing a few sentences by old
Gen. Won Moltke, now 80 years Of age,
can also be heard. The squalling Of a
baby can be taken by the cylinder, and
when its producer has reached mans es-
tate he can listen to his own infantile
voice If he has any curiosity that way.
Funny stories by Eli Perkins, songs bv
well known singers and short passages
from well known plays, spoken by emf
nent actors, are all on storage in phono-
graph cylinders These lose nothing IN
clearness and volume from the lapse OF
years, but, of course, may be worn out
from use. 1t is believed that a record
taken today and carefully preserved can
be reproduced 250 years hence New

From the Phila. Prssi 26th inst
The ticket nominated at Harrisburg yes
terday is one which all Republicans can
support That It is the strongest which the
convention could have submitted 10 the peo-
pie we do not believe, but majority Of
$4,000 is mighty and must prevail.
That Senator Delamater will make an
able and efficient Governor no one ques-
tions The opposition to him vas based
almost wholly on doubts Of his ability TO
rally the full Republican vote Now, that
the convention has in manner resolved
these doubts, we look TO see all the candi-
dates and their friends turn in and give him
their hearty allegiance. The success Of the
Republican party is of far more conse-
quence than the political fortune of any
lndiyidual, and It is only when this is fully
realized and accepted by every division Of
the party that It's success is assured.
The nomination Of Louis A. Watres for
Lieutenant Governor is an acceptable and
strong nomination In itself, and insures the
Senate an experienced parliamentarian in
its chair during such times as the Lieuten-
ant Governor shall see fit to preform the
duties of that position. The denomination
of the present efficient Secretary of Intern.
al Affairs, Thomas ]. Stewart, was unop
posed, and completes a ticket on which the
Republicans of the State may be expected
to unite cordially after the first feeling Of
disappointment on the part of friends O
rival claimants has abated. The utmost
good will seems TO haYe prevailed in tn,
conyention-an earnest of good feeling an,
harmony with which the party at arg,
may be excepted to receive the convention

wonderful Surgery.

At the surgical congress at Berlin Pro
fessor GlucS, of Berlin, gave an exhibi-
ton showing a most valuable advance
in surgery-namely, 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
terial, 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 am 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 u tumor from the thigh, caus-
ing 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-
manned completely satisfactory. These
are considered wonderful achievements

Ex-Governors OF Pennsylynnln.

Ex-Governor Pollock was the oldest
ex-governor of the state alike in years
and in service. He was elected in 1854,
and was succeeded by William f. Packer,
of Lycoming, who died years ago.
Packer aud Pollock each served only one
term, and Packer was succeeded by An
drew e. Curtin in 1861, who served two
terms, and who is yet living, and now
the Oldest ex-governor in both years and
service. Curtin was succeeded by John
W. Geary in 1867, who served two terms,
and died soon after his retirement.
Geary was succeeded by John F. Hart
ranft, who served two terms, and who
died in 1899. Henry M. Hoyt succeeded
Hartranft in 1879, the first under the pro
vision of the new constitution that made
the term four years, and made the govern
or ineligible for reelection to immediate,
ly sncceed himself Governor Hoyt is still
living, and one of our active members of
the bar. Governor Pattison succeeded
Hoyt, and is now at the head Of an i'm
portant financial institution in this city.
The death of Pollock leaves only three
ex-governors of Pennsylvania among the
living, Messrs. Curtin, Hoyt and Patti
son. Curtin's election goes back to 1850,
Hoyts to 1878, and Pattison's to 1882. -

equal parts of sulphur and white lead

and State Senator again from 1888 10 1895.
Census enumerators in Pennsylvania have
discovered that thousands of workers in
that State are without names. They are
known industrially only by numbers. It is
inconceiveabe that such coalition of things
should long be permitted to exist In this
country. rhe Pennsylvania laborers may
be poor, Ignorant aud unfortunate. but they
are free workingmen. The practice of des-
troying their lndiYidualitles under the con
