stallments Buys IL.

Every person that can read should
own a dictionary. Every one that owns
a dictionary should own the very best
dictionary. Until quite recently there
had been very wide divergence OF
opinion as to the best dictionary. We
believe that the advent of the Standard
Dictionary settles the question for a
century to come, at least. It's claims to
superiority over other photographed
and pathological works may be briefly
summed up as follows: ID 1t is simple
in its explanations and is not burdened
with encyclopedia information. (2) It
defines the word first and then gives
the derivation. 90 1t gives the COM
mon meaning first and follows with the
historical order, according to usage at
other periods. (4) 1t locates the au-
thority on which judgment is based.
(5) Disputed pronunciations and SPELL
ings are settled beyond doubt. (6) It
contains illustrations to enable the stu
dent to gain clearer knowledge OF the
words. CD It reduces the compounding
system common to other dictionaries.
(S) Obsolete words are omitted, except
in rare instances. (9) 1t groups handi-
craft and terms under one heading. (10)
1t gives antonyms as well as synonyms.
(11) 1t capitalizes proper names or
proper terms only. az 1t contains over
100000 words-more than any other
dictionary extant.
AS whole the Standard Dictionary
is colossal triumph Of the best schol-
arship of our times. Its editors include
many Of the most learned men Of the
century. The cost Of producing such
a work must necessarily run up into
the millions.
II one copy only had been printed and
sold, and at small profit, the publish
ers would have to charge at least ST.
1000 for it. Yet all this valuable
information has been placed easily
within reach of the most humble.

J. W. Mallet, professor of chemistry
In the University OF Virginia, In COM
munication to the current number or
the Scientific American, says with ref
erence to cigarettes Of American man

Ignorance OF easily ascertainabls

enough, as is often illustrated by the
brown, oily material formed in the
smoking OF tobacco being pointed out
as nicotine, though In reality this IN

SO that it looks. In this darkened con-
dition, something like the tarry matter
which soils q smokers fingers or
handkerchief through which tobacco
smoke is exhaled, or is often noticed
as deposited in the stem OF a pipe.
This tarry deposit has nothing es-
sential in common with nicotine, and
contains but traces Of this alkaloid,
when any at all.
"a part, but only small part (about
onc-seventh in the experiments or
Melsens), of the real nicotine OF to-
bacco is volatilized without decompo-
sition; the remainder is burned and
destroyed in the process Of smoking"
The simple facts are, that such cigar

a large part of those in general use
throughout the United States, are
made from pure, light-yelow tobacco

special soils, prominently in certain OF

A BALLAD OF DECORATION.

In the garianded grass where the multi
tudes plod.
And the splendor OF spring overhOws,
The souls of the heroes climb up thro'
the sod.
And smile in the cheeks of the rose
We turn back the leaves OF the ledger OF
doom
And trace thro the stains of old tears
The story that closed mid the grief and
the gloom
OF the wearisome, war-shadowed years.
We stihe sigh as we trample the clay
Where the ranks of the pale legions
And we dream. as we turn from their
tablets away,
That for freedom tits glorious to die.
The teeth of Old Time on the granite may
crate,
Till the proudest shafts crumble and
fall
But Remembrance will stand with her
flowers at the gate
Till the trumpet is loosed on the wall.
All. sweet is the breath of the roses, and
sweet
Are the light and the laughter of May;
But the Past. like a specter, is chained
at our feet
In the flash OF his martial array.
The chaplets OF love we may bind on the
urns
or the Blue and the Gray with our
tears,
But the wrong of rebellion still rankles
and burns
Like fire in the heart of the years.
The Shrek OF the bondmen, the clank OF
the chain,
Are hushed as a tale that is told,
And the clouds that once hung like q
pail Ger the plain,
Have swept by. and the skies are as
gold

Good morning, Aunt Ruth. You

tagion of the bright May morning.

Miss Bosworth, Aunt Ruth" as she
was more Familiarity known-was one
of the oldest inhabitants of Pleasant
vile, a sleepy little town nesting
among the Berkshire hills, its quiet
undisturbed save by the buzz of the
sawmill, and, in summer, the busy
hive of workers at the canning fac
tory.
Everybody knew Aunt Ruth, and
none knew her but to love her. She
was one of those elderly women-shall
we say rare?-who had preserved a
sweet, happy nature, free from disa-
greeable habits both of speech and
manner. Although over 60 years old,
she still possessed that blessed faculty
OF adaptability which made her a COW
eted companion Of both young and old.
Children were attracted by her cookie
jar and a fund of delightful stosies,
while those Of maturer years were
charmed with her personality and her
entertaining conversation, which ever
sparkled with subtle humor, despite an
unmistakable undercurrent of sadness,
which at times betrayed itself in her
face.
Antoinette Rathbun was particularly
fond of Aunt Ruth, and many happy
hours they spent together, reading or
discussing the various questions of the
day.

engineers, has been asked to lose no
time in leaving for Honolulu, in ad-
vance of his command. Being skilled

survey of the harbor and plan in a su-

be erected at once. The defenses are to

meanwhile steps Will be taken so thai
the city will not be open to attack. a
reservation will be secured by the
