Tie Greatest Dictionary Now Printed -Sa
Our Language. ( -
Viewed from the standpoint of the
critical student of the English Ian
guage the Standard Dictionary is a
guide and reference work sans pareil.
1t sanctions only the best forms of US
age, giving a full characterization Of
variant forms, tabulating words as for
eign, dialectic, provincial, colloquial,
vulgar or barbarous. The Importance
Of this cannot be overestimated, as it
at once relieves the mind ofHthe stu

to be one or more terms applicable, to

resentatively defnitive; verifying all
definitions by the etynolog sense,
in a comprehensive, accurate and sim.
pie manner Great care has been exer-
cised in the gathering into the lam
guage Of new words; provincialisms
h which are and have been migrating
themselves into the English tongue are
collected and defined; scientific and.
handicraft terms are likewise treated,
and technical terms not in common use
among technicians, are vigorously ex- -.
cluded, thus doing away with a great
amount of useless bulk. But the crown
ing glory Of the Standard is its persist
ent and consistent simplifcation OF
spelling-the elimination Of the diph.-,
thong being not the least. As a dean li:
tive work it stands supreme. Detn1-
tions are given in groups as members .l
under generic heads, etymolog icallly
verified to elucidate meaning 8 liustrat-
ed copiously and aided by synonyms
and antonyms. It's full and intelligent
system OF comp ding, scientif ally
arranged. is a noble stride il the path

Three Women Relieved Of Female
Troubles by Mrs. Pinkham.

From Mrs. A. w. SMITH, SO Summer
St., Biddeford, Me-:
"For seve raj years I suffered with
various diseases peculiar to my sex.
Was troubled with a burning sensation
across the small of my back, that all
gone feeling, was respondent, fretful
and discouraged; the least exertion
tired me. I tried several doctors but
received little benefit. At last I de-
cided to give your Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound a trial. The ef-
feet of the first bottle was magical.
Those symptoms of weakness that
was afflicted with, vanished like vapor
before the sun. I cannot speak too
highly of your valuable remedy. It is
truly boon to woman" -,
From Mrs. MELISSA PHILLIPS, Lex
ington, Ind, to Mrs. Pinkham:
"Before began taking your medicine
I had suffered for two years with that
tired feeling, headache, backache, no ap-
petite, and a rundown condition of the
system. I could not? walk across the
room. have taken four bottles of the
Vegetable Compound, one box Of Liver
Pills and used one package of Sanative

intended for the use of members of the
federal Legislature, the congressional

1t would seem, therefore, that a cata-

to the general readers. Such is not
the case, however, as congressman only
have access to the catalogue, says the
Philadelphia Record.

STEALING TRADEMARKS.
American Manufacturers Are Made
to Suffer Under the Laws
of Denmark.

The trademark of Boston firm ha
been appropriated in Denmark, and

owing report of the case to the state
department.:
The said firm has, for over quar-
ter OF century, been selling it's goods
>peerless gloss for shoes) in Denmark,
and has built up quite q large trade,
'i'c article now being for sale in almost
every shoemaker's store throughout
Tie kingdom. A Danish manufacturer
iii the same line of business, recently
thought it a good idea to initiate the
,Hbels and also the bottles used by tn,
american firm, having found out that
it had not registered it's trademark
here, although it is registered in the
United States and Great Britain. The
labels used by the imitators are in
Danish, and bear his name, but other
wise they are identical with the Amer
lean firms labels and bottles. This
counterfeit was registered here at the
Danish trademark registration Office,
and, according to law, duly advertised
in the Danish newspapers. No objec-
ton was raised within the four months
after registration, as stipulated by law,
and the said trademark is now the Dan
ish manufacturers property" ....
Mr.. Blom also states that the Ameri.
cans wishing to register their trade.
marks in Denmark must be represented
there by an attorney. A Danish consul
i'll the United States must witness the
signing of a power of attorney intended
to be valid in Denmark.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3G.-H Clay
Evans, commissioner of pensions. has
made statement denouncing pension
attorneys. His denunciation is sweep
ing and comprehensive, and he con-
demns them as a class
He charges that pension attorneys
are alone to blame for frauds on the
roll of honor; that they pose as
patriots at s25 for every successful
claim made. and he winds up by de-
manding the enactment of a law
which will stop the payment of fees
to these attorneys
He says: 1.-THE most demoralizing
feature of the pension system is the
existence of 50, 600 pension attorneys
The ordinary pension attorneys worse
than the most pestiferous 'varmint'
that ever invaded hen roost.
1.-The government has continued to
pay pension attorneys for soliciting
business for thirty years Enough of
this has been done. A law should be
passed that in future no fee should be
paid to any attorney or claim agent
for any claim fled for pensions That
would put an end to the pension
scandal
