Some French statIstcian has turned himself
loose the subject OF wasted words and letters
The French and English languages are, as he
proves with many figures. especially open to crit
lcsm In this matter. AMI money Is lost every year
by lack OF verbal economy. The French language
contains 10 per OF useless letters. There are
$500 Journals published In the language. and they
prln, 1903 00e1000O letters every year. that 4.2
10000 words are printed. not because they are
needed, but they have come to be used In tho
French language as It In spoken. The writer COM
putes that 81 5000 is the annual cost OF this use
less expenditure OF printers ink In France alone.
OF Journals printed In the English language there
are 1900. and they are larger Twelve per cent

the Royalists. Those OF the latter who took the

The British Museum has Just made noble ac-

ment very proud and happy. They have pur-
chased, by special grant of the Treasury, the
whole Of the magnificent collection Of drawings,
etchings and engravings by the early masters,

amounting to about nine hundred OF the former
and $50 OF the latter. Two years ago Colonel
Malcolm, the son Of the collector, deposited the
whole with the trustees as a loan. and shortly
afterward several hundred of the most repre-
sentative specimens were selected by Mr.. Colvin
and placed on view In the exhibition galleries.
The intelligent public soon found out what was
already well known to the experts, namely, that
the drawings and prints bought by Mr.. Malcolm,
whether long ago under Sir Charles Robinson's
advice or In later years on his own initiative,
were among the finest and most important Of
their kind. No museum in the world possesses
