Words People speak.

Few people realize how limited are
their vocabularies. despite the many
thousand words In the English Ian
guage. 1t is said that a person Of edu-
cation generally gets along very COM
fortably with a 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 few hundred words.
repeating one or two of these, however,
a great many times. A recent expert!
meut proves how apt our minds are
to run in grooves. Twenty-Five men
and twenty-five women, students in a
psychology class, were bidden to write
down at full speed one hundred words,
all chosen at random. They did 30.
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-
tions of 1858 words. OF the 1885 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 169.

A very considerable revival in rail-
way building is now In sight. Since the
hrst OF the year the Railway Age has
been notified of a considerable number
OF new undertakings which promise to
begin work soon: while still larger
number of enterprises carried over
from previous years. and on some of
which work has already been done, ap-
pear now to have secured the means
for going on. Thousands Of miles of
lines can be enumerated for which
room and need seem apparent on an
intelligent study of the situation, and
whose construction. therefore, is mere
iy question of better times. For a
few of these contracts have already
been let, while the promoters Of others
are sanguine that they will get under
way this year. II Besides the legitimate
enterprises there are various paper
schemes. such as that of new trans
continental line, which have little like
lihood Of accomplishment; but alto
gether there is already better out
look for railway building than has
been observed for several previous
years. -t

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. It was necessary
that should make myself acquainted
with the nature and resources OF the
island. and ! selected two Of the stead
lest OF the crew to accompany me In
my explorations. and told the main
sbody of men that We should be absent
probably a week. Before doing this
l had satisfied myself that those I left
behind would have no difficulty In OBJ
taining food. The rocks and ahore
abounded In shell fish, and Tom Wren

rightly enough devined. by a desire to
obtain something palatable and tasty

the men instructions as to their con-
duct and proceedings. Having been

for all our sakes. to enforce some kind

I should delegate the command while

looked from one to another; and in a
comically sheepish way every man in
the company strove to evade my eye.

my absence. and you. Bowden, her

A flush OF pleasure came into PEARLS
cheek, and l 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 go well dur

England and Germany seem likely to
get into dispute over the Transvaal.
The Globe OF London says 1t has good
authority for saying that the secretary

ger strongly worded protest against
alleged breaches OF the London con-

troops to southwest Africa at the end of
April, and. that a special German envoy
will be sent to interview President
Kruger of the Transvaal and President

elsewhere reported that owing to the
preparing for eventualities in the
Transyaal, the arrangements for the
Anglo-Egyptian expedition to Khar-

Precious stones Fade.

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 1t has been shown by
experiment that a 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
its owner is that of loss II the stone
