WORDS. WORDS, WORDS.
Tho New Dictionary Define Ten Times as
 Many as Educated Men Use.

Professor Elliott Coues, of the Smith, sonian Institution, who is one of the editors of The Century Dictionary, " has been engaged for nearly six years upon the department of biology. which was assigned to him, says q writer in the New York Tribune. He says that the new dictionary will contain some POO. 900 words. The Webster's Una bridged Dictionary, in its later editions, contains about l30, 900 words. The 70, 900 additional words which will be found in The Century Dictionary" come from the thorough definition of all scientific terms and the words which have been added to the language through new discoveries in science
 The professor says that in the de- partment of biology alone there have been added since Darwin's discoveries some twenty odd thousand new words. He said that it was n we'll educated man who could use 15, 900 words, and then it would be some specialist who was familiar with science. The most highly educated and the most widely read of scientific specialists occasionally reached the actual knowledge of 40. 900 words. He knew of no one who had ever gone beyond that. So. to find definitions for the POO, 900 words 1t has been necessary to employ q great many individual specialists who are authorities in their particular de- partments. The additions to the lan- guage year by year arc great. All of the words of current slang will be found in the new dictionary.

PRETTY GIRLS, ETC.
A Comparison Between Men and Women
 on the Question of Looks.

It does not matter much to q boy whether he is good looking or the re- verse. He is not obliged to wait for matrimonial prospects don't appear to s.ffer any serious discount from per- sonal shortages that would send a girls stock away down below par, or even put her out of the market alto gether. One never sees man so hid eous or repulsive but that some woman Is ready to marry him. if he will only ask her; but men are less philan- thropic, and so the ugly girls are gen. orally left to run to waste as unappro- priated blessings.
 The handsome is as handsome does" theory won't hold at all after we get out of the nursery, and a little ex- perience soon convinces us that it is a fraud and delusion. like that other domestic fiction about the drumstick being the choicest part of the fowl. with which our elders used to impose upon the unsuspecting childhood.
 Indeed the responsiveness of being an ugly girl is one of the worst things about it; there are no perquisites We get nor of the plums out of life's pud- ding, for under present conditions men do the carving, and as one of them says, "All the fine things we think and say about women apply to those only who arc tolerably good looking CT graceful"
 Now, suppose the same rule applied to men, and that only the good-looking ones could hope to attain to wealth and distinction; suppose, for instance. that that famous wart on Oliver Crom- wells nose had been sufficient to con demn him to obscurity, as it inevitably would have done had he been woman; suppose Grover Cleveland's too ample girth of waist had kept him out of the White House. as it certainly would have kept Mrs. Cleveland out had she been the unlucky possessor of that in convenient superhuity.
 And in fact isn't it just little hard that anybody's destiny in life should be made to depend irretrievably upon an accident over which they have no control such as having been born with a red head or a pug nosee But this is the law under which women have lived since the beginning of time, and it doesn't give the ugly girls fair chance.

4 STRONG CHARACTER,
Cowboy Mary's Appearance and Her Devil
 May-Care Philosophy.

CoWDoy Mary's appearance anu Her Oevu.
 May-Care Philosophy.
 Disheveled hair. and face harden cd by reckless life and bearing evil dences of continued dissipation, dark, bright eyes that have a keenness in them still, dress the worse for wear, that is shiny with age and soiled with stains of liquor, tall form, careless gait, a matter -of-fact way sometimes and frequently an exhibition of devil- may-care philosophy, voice rather harsh than musical-that's Cowboy Mary, as described in the Seattle Tele- graph. This woman has been brought rather prominently before the public, and that will serve as an excuse for again putting her on the news boards. Her surroundings are like herself rough, with no regard for appearances "a mean hovel in bad locality.
 A man died at Cowboy Mary's house the other night--a poor, wretched opium eater-Tamale Pete. A re- porter accompanied by stout police man. went in to learn the particulars of the mans death. He had taken his own life by swallowing powerful big dose of "venshee.n

 What was the mans name?"
 "Name? 1 never asked him. and didn't care to know. anyhow. 1 called him Pete and he me Mary He never knew my name either. Still we were well acquainted, and when he came down to my shack and wasn't turned away.
 Il guess he just thought, seeing he was on deaths road, he'd shorten it up a little, and so he concluded that he could get a room to die in at my house, and so he came in and died.
 He was an opium-smoker all used up with the poiSon-and was dying by inches and l suppose he was right in helping himself of with the least pos 5ible trouble You see he had reached that point where he wasn't of any use to himself or anybody else, and l think that when a man hasn't got any excuse for living he might us we'll go off and croak V

How the "Rum Biossom'. Dieoms.

The circulation is through two sets of blood vessels arteries and veins both obtaining their motive power from the heart acting as a force pump. Alcohol increases the pulsations, and, as the blood is sent from the heart to the extremeties faster than the veins can take it up again to return it, con- gestion results, and the nose. being a remote portion of the circulation, rcd dens and finally becomes diseased. This, however, is not different from other organs of the body; all are con- gested and similarly diseased by the use of alcohol.

They Give Their Hraius.

A new society of scientific research is the American Authropometric so- ciety, lately formed in Philadelphia. Each member will bequeath his brain to the organization for examination in the interest of science and humanity. One purpose of the society will be that of studying the racial features of the brain, as in the case of the North American Indian. the Chinese and the African. as we'll as the cerebral con- volutions of the famous thinkers.

care Of Cut Flowers !.

for cut flowers. Many dollars are speD.

The Chicago News says roses should
always have the end Of the stem clipped
off with . pair Of sharp scissors, and
some Of the pretty green leaves taken
of. Do net crowd your vases. Give
the flowers plenty of water, and change
the water daily.
At night, put all the stems neatly to-
gether and roll newspaper about the
upper part Of the bunch, leaving no
open space for the air to get in. Then
plunge the flowers into deep pitcher
or jar full Of water nearly up to their
heads. and put them in the ice-box. If
you have ice. or in any cool place
where they will rest all night.
Very dropping roses will thus come
out fresh and stiff stemmed 10 the
morning. Some varieties of roses will
keep a week if put to bed in this way
each night. Another good way is to
shut them up in high pail, with water
to come up TO their heads, the cover
carefully closed, and the pail put in an
lie chest or some other cool place.
Lilies are more easily kept. They
only need plenty of fresh water, good
light, and to have the ends Of the stalks
clipped slightly from day to day. The
writer has never failed to make lily
bud open (bloom), no matter how green
and small it may have been, and has
several times had bud open after three
weeks Of waiting.
Forget me-nots win last from two
to four weeks if once well started, but
the pretty leaves must nearly all be cut
away, and the stems put deep in the
water; then the stalks will grow and
every tiny bud blossom beautifully. A
clear glass is the best to put them in.
