Transferring Newspaper Pictures.

Many boys and girls will be interest
ed in a method Of transferring newspa-
per pictures to the fyleaf of book or
any other paper without the necessity
of cutting the newspaper The Chicago
Record says any boy or girl can make
the recipe, which is as follows: First
dissolve a small piece of ordinary yell
low soap in pint of hot water and
add, when nearly cold, ga fluid ounces
(you can measure with an ounce bottle
to be obtained at any drug store) of tur-
pentine. Shake the whole thoroughly
This fluid is applied literally to the
surface of the printed matter with a
soft brush or sponge (being careful not
TO smear the ink, which soon becomes
softened) and allowed to soak for few
minutes. Then dampen the plain paper
on which the transfer is to be made,
place it upon the picture and subject the
whole to moderate pressure for about
one minute. On separating them a
transfer will be found ON the paper.

Enid,emic of PAPER Pillows.

The latest health fad, according to
Good Housekeeping, is paper pillows.
The paper is torn into very small pieces
and then put into pillow sack of drill
ing or light ticking. The pillows are
very cooling in hot weather and are said
to be superior to feather ones. Newspa-
pers are not nice to use, as they have a
disagreeable odor of printers ink, but
brown or white paper and old letters
and envelopes are the best The finer
the paper is cut or torn the lighter il
makes the pillow.

1885, He was educated at the Ohio
Wesleyan university, and had already
entered the ministry when the war broke

THE GREAT ENGLISH DICTIONARY.
Heavy Expenses That Threaten q Suspen-

Heavy Expenses That Threaten Suspen-
sion OF Work.
A crisis appears to have arisen in the
fortunes OF that great pathological
work. the New English Dictionary,
edited by DR.. Murray and published by
the Clarendon press. Fifteen years of
work have now been devoted to its pub
LEGATION, and the question has arisen,
Will it be necessary to stop the enter
prise? The following outline Of the stu
alton is printed i'll the London Daily
Chronicle Of April go:
"The completion Of the New English
Dictionary OH the elaborate scale hither-
to followed is by no means certainty.
For several years the work has been
carried on at high pressure, especially
in the department under DR.. Murray's
personal control. Yet, despite this fact,
the end Of D has not been reached, and
though E has been completed by Mr..
Henry Bradley, f is not yet finished
that is to say, since 1884 only four let
tiers of the alphabet and portions Of two
others have been settled with. At this
rate of progress it is hard to see how we
can expect the last number of the die
tionary under quarter of a century
hence.
meanwhile, the great expense to the
Oxford University press continues, and
it is quite within the bounds OF posi-
bility that a stcppage may take Place.
Much as this would be regretted, it is
doubtful whether such a course would
not be pre- liable to the continuance OF
the work on hasty and incomplete lines
That some scheme of crrtallment has
been mooted is evident from the recent
action of TIE Clarendon press delegates,
who have offered few suggestions to
the workerI. Their recommendations
point to the need of more concise treat
ment in all the departments-as, for
| instance, the elimination of much OF
the genealogical matter usually insert
ed, in some cases as much as One-half
the quantity being regarded as unnec-
essary. The definitions too, they would
have in much less profusion, and when
we notice the immense amount OF SUBJ
division in the treatment Of the COM
moner words of the language (the word
and alone has 13 main and z subordl-
nate senses) there does appear posi-
bility of pulling in. The greatest part
of the space in the dictionary is taken
up by the quotations. These the dele
gates would lessen considerably, sug-
costing that the word modern should
be used in place of many citations OF
later date Recent illegitimate extern
sions Of meaning they would omit alto
gether.
"a few other suggestions for special
kinds of words have also been made,
and it remains to be seen whether the
editors will be able to fall in Herewith.
That this will be found extremely diff
cult will be felt by any one who has
had experience of dictionary making or
any other form of compilation in which
close attention to detail is necessary. In
the case of the New English Dictionary
the difficulty is heightened almost to
impossibility by very reason of the 10
years work already performed in one
method. 4"

A Lively Literary Career.

Abel Hermant, the author of La

ha, had lively literary career. FIRST
he wrote a story Of college life, which
was publicly burned by the students of
the Ecole Normale. Then he wrote a
story Of military life, which was burned
in the presence of the regiment by its
indignant colonel, while in due course
all the officers challenged the novelist.
And already the new play has provoked

The gold standard makes it easier for
a few to buy silver or difficult for the
many to buy. The few who are benefit

your mills with customers, and the more
