Prof. Max Muller thinha~a farm

ucated man, who has been mt the

together with circulating library
books, seldom uses more than 1000
or 1000 wordsin actual conversation
A contributor to CasselI's Saturday
Journal has been nc considerable
pains TO check these theories, and
the conclusion he arrives at is that
the figures given are too small.
Farm hands, he finds, are able TO
name all the common objects OF the
farm, and to do this involves the
use of more than The entire number
of300 words allotted 10 them. Then,
excluding compound words, be
found that there were under the let
ter "s7 alone 1.018 words that are
TO be found in ordinary peoples vo-
cabulary. II would be nearer the
truth, we are told, TO say that The
agricultural laborer uses 1900 words
and knows or can guess the mean

gent farm hands and artisans COM

Congressman Hutcheson, of Tex

Mr.. Hutcheson said. however, that
when Reed was speaker, Reed had
abused the rule. The rule OF count
