Alone in the World.

The man who has no family ties, no sym
pathizing companions, no geuial relations
with his fellow men is verNproperly said
to be "alone in the world" But such ut
ter isolation can only be the result Of vo-
lition. Even the unfortunate who has out
lived all who were nearest and dearest to
him, and can say with athe lone Indian"
Logan, Not drop of my blood runs inthe
veins of any living creature" may find
friends who will, in part, at least, supply
the places of the dead.
We hear sometimes of people, who have
been soured by misfortune or injustice, re
firing from the world. The more fools
they The world can do without them,
but they cannot so well do without the
world. The more they NOPE in solitude
the more unhappy they must necessarily
become, for man is constitutionally gre
garious and social, aud cannot live u her
nit life without violating the conditions
upon which his mental health depends.
The most terrible punishment which the
law can inhict upon n criminal is the liv-
ing death Of perpetual solitary confne-
ment. What downright idiocy, then, it
must be to seek in loneliness balm for
sorrow. New York Ledger.

A prairie burner for burning fire brakes
has been patented in Canada by e. c. Rice,

The walls Of the spacious rooms of the

Insurance building are covered with oil
portraits Of distinguished New York mer-
chants who have passed away. There are
about 200 pictures and some Of them are
invaluable because of their historic associ
ations a few were painted more than 100
years ago. This extraordinary art gallery
is viewed by hundreds of visitors in the
course Of year. The other day a rural
party, consisting of two SWANS and three
or four lassies found their way into the

about for an hour in Il state Of half dazed

Growth OF tho rnalish LANGUAGE.

1t takes a child several years to acquire
1000 words. The average illiterate person
never uses more than from 1000 to 1000
words. Intelligent persons, even those en-
gagged in the learned professions, do not
make use of more than from 5000 to 5000
words all told, although there are properly
belonging to the English language over
225,O 900 OF course this is exclusive of the
Latin technical words, which are not, prop
erly speaking, English, although they are
used as a part of the language,
There is n large number of words which
until recently have escaped the attention
of photographers. In the text of the En-
cyclopedia Britannica there are 10000 words
which have never been formally entered
and defined in any dictionary. In the Cent
ury Dictionary there are 70, 600 words found
in no other. This fact shows the unrealized
wealth of the English language And, by
the by, here is statement which is not
without interest. There is not today any
man living who is sufficiently learned to
write one average page of the 1000 pages
of the Century Dictionary. DIR, Cones in

The "Argouauts' had several routes
