A Waste of Words.

There is tribe of Indians in the Northwest
whose language consists of only ninety six
words. Thoughts that cannot be expressed
by their words are communicated by signs.
The Century dictionary gives something over
200, 900 words. One would think that with
such richness and variety every thought could
be expressed, but such is not the case, for
there is large number Of words not found in
scene character, in constant use by certain
class of persons. The greatest number of
words used by our best writer's and speakers
do not exceed $4,000, and only a very few
writer's and speakers do not use over 5000
and among the educated people not engaged
in literary work the number varies between
5000 and 5000. The number Of words used
does not exceed 1000. Since we can express
our thoughts with less than %, 900 words why
have 200,0 COO? Then again many Of the words
use could be replaced by numerals, and
our thoughts expressed more emphatically. /
walk out and meet my friend and ask him:
'How are you today?" and he replies: II am
