A Strike by Women.

An actual "strike Of a sex" has
lately taken place among the women
of the Akona tribe in Western Africa.
According to the Woman's Herald,
they protested against the treatment
to which their fathers, husbands, ard
brothers subjected them. Rennon-
strances being Of no avail, they tried
a stronger measure. A neighboring
tribe, with whom the Akonas were
not on good terms, was appealed to,
anil it agreed 10 take ia all the dis.

one morning to find all its women and

sent after the women with instructions
to grant their demands in full.

COAL.

An Exceedingly Versatile Commodity
Which Yields Drugs, Fruit, Heat.
Light, Etc.
Very few people have any idea of
the almost numberless products of
common coal, and least of all that
essence of fruits, drugs, and even
wines are found in the ordinary,
every day fuel of the time. Yet such
is tho fact; coal has many uses be.
yond the mere giving of heat and
light. These last have only been dis
covered of late years, although pit
coal has been known hundreds OF
years. Even illuminating gas was
unknown a century ago, petroleum
has been ia use scarcely 40 years, and
it is hardly more than so since some
one discovered that stone coal was
inf1ammable. NJ rly all other pro.
ducts derived from soft coal have
been discovered and applied in the
interest of science or Of fraud within
the last rs years. Some of them
seem almost magical.
Brsid.s heat and tight, there are
obtained from ordinary coal the means
of producing over 400 shades of colors.
Among the chief are saffron, violet
blue and indigo. There are also OBJ
tanned a great variety of perfumes

Tho World Enriched.

The facilities of the present day for the
production of everything that will con-
duce to the material welfare and comfort
of mankind are almost unlimited and
when Syrup of Figs was first produced
the world was enriched with the only
perfect laxative known, as it is the only
remedy which is truly pleasing and re-
freshing to the taste and prompt and
effectual to cleanse the system gently in
the Spring time or, in fact, at any time
and the better it is known the more pop
nlar it becomes.

A Wonderful Transformation.

A tadpole, the larva OF frog, has a
tail and no legs, gills instead of lungs,
a heart precisely like that of fish, a
horny beak for eating vegetable food
and spiral intestines for digesting it.
With the approach of maturity the hind
legs appear, then the front ones; the
beak falls off, the tail and gills waste
away, the lungs are created; the digest
i've apparatus is changed to suit the ami
NAL diet; the heart becomes septilian
in type by the addition of another suri-
ole; in fact skin, muscles, nerves and
blood vessels vanish, being absorbed
atom by atom, while pew set is being
substituted.-St Louis Republic.

very easily cured; no medicine is neces-

put an end to them without further

tate recovery. A bowl of thin cruel for

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
without Participates and the Like 1t Con-
tains Forty Thousand Words.

without Participates and the Like 1t Con-
tains Forty Thousand Words.
An intere-s;ng question suggested by
an ancient wait Of a book is the number
OF English words now existing. Con.
sidera Bile difference Of opinion exists on
this point. Mr.. George p Marsh, an
American author OF repute, in his
Lectures on the English Language,
estimates that the number Tin 1861
probably does not fall short OF 100, DOC;
and large additions. especially in ART
and science, have come into use since
that date. Other writors, however.
come to different conclusion, and think
that 4O, 900 would include the whole. II
depends a good deal on how calculations
are made. il 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 oc-
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-divining, all-drowsy, and 80
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
will exceed Mr.. Marsh's estimate. An
approximate verifcation Of this may be
found by multiplying the number Of
pages III any good modern dictionary by
the average number OF words in a page.
Shakespeares works, 1t 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
mentioned here that while Cock
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 DR.. Johnson's vocabulary many
technical and scientific terms wore
omitted, and in his original preface he
excuses himself in very naive and
characteristic fashion. 81 could not, :"
he says, visit caverns to learn the
miners language, nor take a voyage to
perfect my skill in the dialect OF nav
igation, nor visit the warehouses Of
merchants and the shops of artiicers TO
gain the names of wares, tools and OPP
erations of which no mention is found
in books" An adverse critic might be
inclined to ask: Why not? But, all the
same, it will be readily conceded that
he did great work according to his
lights. The science Of philology has
been revolutioniLed since his day, but
his labors largely contributed to the
earlier stages Of its progress--Cham-
bers' Journal.
