Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1897-05-14

Few people realize how limited are
their vocabularies, despite the many
thousand words in the English Ian
guage. 1t is said that person of edu-
cation generally gets along very COM
fortably with vocabulary of less than
1000 different words. On the other
hand, uneducated people manage to
express their ideas all their lives with
the use of but a few hundred words,
repeating one or two of these, however,
a great many times. A recent expert
ment proves how apt our minds are
to run in grooves. Twenty-Five men
and twenty-five women, students in a
psychology class, were hidden to write
down at full speed one hundred words,
all chosen at random. They did so,
with the curious result that out of a
total of 5000 words there were only
1856 words which occurred but once;
5000 of the remainder being repeti-
lions of 1853 words. OF the 1886 writ
ten only once TAG were set down by the
men, against $40 by the women. Of
the 1853 articles Of dress enumerated,
224 were found in the women's papers,
while of the 237 articles Of food, they
claimed 1863.

Of place we were shipwrecked
on, and what chances of escape
were open to us. A brief recon-
noitre convinced me that this would be
the work of days. 1t was necessary
that l should make myself acquainted
with the nature and resources of the
island, and l selected two of the stead
lest of the crew to accompany me in
my explorations, and told the main
body of men that we should be absent
probably week. Before doing this
I had satisfied myself that those I;left
behind would have no difficulty in OBJ
tanning food. The rocks and shore
abounded IL shell fish, and Tom Wren
had already succeeded in sharing doz-
en- or 30 birds, spurred on thereto, as
rightly enough devined, by desire to
obtain something palatable and tasty
for little Pearl. He having prepared
the birds, was roasting them before
the fire. while l was engaged giving
the men instructions as to their con-
duct and proceedings. Having been
appointed commander l was resolved,
for all our sakes, to enforce some kind
of discipline. I hesitated as to whom
I should delegate the command while
l was away, and my choice fell on the
oldest man in the company, James
Bowden. l placed in his hands the
list of names l had written down on
the previous night. He stared at it
| with puzzled looks and shaded his eyes,
and turned the paper round, and upside
down.
Cant read, perhaps?" said l.
Right you are, skipper" he replied.
l took the paper from him, and
looked from one to another; and in a
comically sheepish way every man in
the company strove to evade my eye.
James Bowden gave consolatory
chuckle.
They're all in the same boat, skip
per-" said he. You're the only schol-
ar among u.s."
Pearl, naturally weak and low after
her long peril in the sea, was lying
on a bed of leaves and dry moss. A
happy thought occurred to me.
"You can read. Psarl?" l asked.
She nodded, YES"
"Then 1 appoint you commander in
my absence. and you, Bowden, her
lieutenant. Men, place our little girl
in your charge, and you in hers"
A flush of pleasure came into Pearls
cheek, and 1 saw by the mems faces
that l had done the right thing. The
precise kind of moral restraint re-
quired by the men was now supplied
through their affections, and I was
satisfied that all would 60 we'll dur

strangely the place dominated the peo-

Rod this great somber pile. He looked
up and noticed door that had escaped
his observation in the afternoon. He
tried the handle, then cold shudder
went through him as he turned from it
and crossed the immense room, only
dimly lit by candles that spluttered at
intervals. He glanced again at the
locked door. What miserable hole
they had consigned him to! A wild
desire to sneak away elsewhere became
almost irresistible.
Unable to rest, he flung himself out
of bed, stirred up the fire to blaze,
and lit every candle in the room. AS
he held the match to each one he
looked with renewed fear over his
shoulder. Then he placed chair near
the fire, yet facing the dreaded quar-
ter, and sat down, determined to watch
till daybreak. But with inactivity and
the dead silence and the blaze Of light
the strange incomprehensible terror
returned doublefold. The sound of his

THOMAS HUGHES SURPRISE.
At Seeing Northern and Southern Men
Reunited.

At Seeing Northern and Southern Men
Reunited.
About fifteen years ago / visited
Lookout mountain with party Of gen.
tlemen and stood with them on the PIN
nacle overlooking the beautiful valley
of East Tennessee and range after
range of mountains visible from our.
point of vantage, from the Great Smo-
kies of North Carolina to the Cumber-
land of Kentucky, says the Century.
The battlefield of Missionary Ridge
formed the immediate foreground OF
this vast panorama. In our party were
men who had served with distinction
as officers in the opposing armies in
that battle, and naturally the incidents
of the conflict formed an interesting
subject of conversation between them,
with much good-humored badinage and
friendly interchange of views. Mr..
Thomas Hughes, the author of Tom
preston Of surprised interest to the
conversation between these friendly
foes, turning to me, said: "Why, this
is acknowledgement extraordinary"
"What?" l asked. why, that these
men, standing in full view of the field
where, only few years ago, they were
trying to STAY each other, should be
discussing the incidents of that battle
calmly. kindly might almost say in
a brotherly spirit-with no trace OF
bitterness or ill-feeling. Now, 1 doubt
II we in England could discuss the wars
Of the roses or the Cromwellian wars
with such an entire freedom from an
tagonism." Could Mr.. Hughes have
witnessed, few years later, the funer-
al cortege Of the great general who
had hurled the successful columns
against the southern lines along the
crest of Missionary Ridge, and who had
brought final defeat to the Southern
arms in Virginia, his establishment
would. have been greater and his pride
III the "kin beyond sea" would have
increased on seeing that there were
no more sincere mourners than the
Southern generals who came from far
away homes to pay last tribute Of
friendship to the memory of Grant.

The powerful chemical effects of the
sun are felt even by precious stones.
The ruby, sapphire and emerald suffer
less than other colored stones in this
respect, but it has been shown by
experiment that ruby lying in a shop
window for two years became much
lighter in tint than its mate kept in
a dark place during that period. Gar
nets and topazes are more easily af-
fected. Pearls are said to show de-
terioration with age, but If they are not
worn constantly they will recuperate
wonderfully during brief vacations
spent in quiet and darkness. The only
species of unluck which the practical
person believes the opal will bring to
it's owner is that of loss If the stone
is exposed carelessly to- heat. 1t is

pally of silicic acid. with a small pro-

CRUSADING AGAINST VICE.

All over the world, almost ever since
the earliest records of the race, there
have been societies and associations
and enthusiasts who work early and
late, ceaselessly, tirelessly, and with
the utmost singleness of purpose in
crusading against vice.
While these people deserve the high
est praise, while their conduct and aims
are commendable in every sense, it
cannot but occur to the practical man
why they do not, to use an old and
homely phrase, lock the barn before
the horse is stolen. Looking after the
little ones and bringing them up with
correct ideas of life, teaching them the
evils of drink, bad company and dissi-
patton of all sorts, would be, in the
long run, much more effective than try
ing to reform those who have been,
possibly for many years, given over to
vices Of all descriptions. There is al
together too little attention given to
the training of children in morals. To
bring them up honest, upright, clean,
industrious and painstaking is to create
a state of society that will leave phil
anthropy very little to do. This class
Of persons would go out of business
f child culture were properly attended
to. To be sure, there are people who
appear to be inherently vicious, but, on
the other hand, it is claimed that this
need not be If the training were cor
rect. There is very wide margin be-
tween inherited tendency and day-by-
day influence. There are many per-
sons who do not believe in heredity,
and very excellent reasons they give
for it. With others it is almost like
one of the articles of faith.
The need Of the world to-day is
perfectly organized, fully equipped sys-
TEN of protection and training for
children. Almost every child has
dread of criminal association until he
becomes familiar with them. 1t rests
with parents, teachers and friends to
cultivate and foster this and kindred
sentiments. Children know that false
hood, deception, theft and all acts OF
this nature are wrong. They learn it
with their earliest breath, but as they
grow older and come in contact with
the world they are thrown under influ-
ences that counterfeit this early train
ing. They lose their dread of evil, then
learn to tolerate 1t, and finally adopt
evil habits Of all sorts.
The career of the crusader should
begin with the child in the cradle
not a series Of naggings, fault-fndiAgs,
grumblings and punishments, but
steady, gentle and comprehensive
training that never for one moment
loses sight of the ultimate result-that
of building in a clean, symmetrical
and healthy body, a clean, symmetri-
cal and healthy mind.

A Cemetery for Dogs.

One of the most curious sights in
England is the cemetery of the Ouch
ess of Newcastle's favorite dogs at Oat-
lands Park, Surrey. There are now no
fewer than sixty burned there, and her
ladyship has honored each dog with a
separate tombstone and inscription.
