tTo BE Continued,
Words People Sneak.

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 vocabulary of less than
1900 different words. On the othe.
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
1886 words which occurred but once;
5000 of the remainder being repeti-
tions of 758 words. OF the 1895 writ
ten only once, TAG were set down by the
men, against $40 by the women. OF
the 353 articles of dress enumerated,
224 were found in the women's papers,
while of the 237 articles of food, they
claimed 1859.

MRS. LowNDEssurrERs BREAD
She Is Kept Busy Because of a Curious
Fancy.

Fancy.
Mrs. Lloyd Lowndes, wife of the gov
ernor Of Maryland, is engaged in the
benef1cient work of curing whooping
cough at Annapolis, says the Baltimore
Sun. 1t would be better, perhaps, TO
state that Mrs. Lowndes is kept busy
responding to the appeals of curious
folklore fancy Of southern Maryland.
In the household philosophy Of that
section it is gravely stated that if the
mother Of twin children will butter
piece of bread for a patient suffering
with whooping cough the little one
will be speedily relieved upon eating
it. Two Of Mrs. Lowndes' sons are
twins. Whooping cough is now prev
alent at Annapolis. These two state
ments give an index to her present
troubles. Anxious mothers of late
have been appealing to the lady of tho
executive mansion in season and out
of season. No social function is too
important to be interrupted by them.
The door guardian is constantly bring
ing in Macedonian cries for pieces Of
buttered bread. Mrs. Lowndes is too
kind-hearted to refuse to respond 10
this curious superstition, and has used
in this way many pounds Ct the de-
licious butter that is brought to the
executive mansion from the governors

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 it has been shown by
experiment that ruby lying in shop
window for two years became much
lighter in tint than its mate kept in
dark place during that period. Car
nets and topazes are more easily at
fected. Pearls are said to show de-
terioration with age, but il 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 If the stone
is exposed carelessly to heat. It is
liable to crack, being composed princi-
pally of silicic acid. with a small pro-
portion Of water.

of a 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
body 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

abounded in shell fish, and Tom Wren

appointed commander was resolved.

OF discipline. hesitated as to whom
should delegate the command while
l was away, and my choice fell on the
Oldest man in the company, James
Bowden. I placed in his hands the
list OF names I 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.
Can't read, perhaps?" said I.
Right you are, skipper" he replied
I 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 a consolatory
chuckle
They're all in the same boat, skip

ar among u.s."

her long peril in the sea, was lying
on bed of leaves and dry moss. A
happy thought occurred to me.

She nodded, eyes,
"Then 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 saw by the mems faces
that 1 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.

as the Labrador current. It makes its

Had had my right senses I should
have known instantly-having seen
such things in other places-that what
I was looking on was seaweed that had
grown In great strong masses among
the rocks, and was eternally tossed
hhher and thither fantastically by the
action Of the waves; but was in so
nervous condition that my magma
ton colored everything before my
eyes. and made it different from what
1t was.
Knowing that if wished to keep
my reason must school myself into a
calmer state, I sat down on a rock,
with the intention of giving myself a
chance of sleeping. My tired body,
grateful for the opportunity, may have
slept, but my mind was so excited by
recent events that no effort on my part
could scothe or quiet it. Every moment
. new picture presented itself had
given no thought to the tide coming
in. and it was the rising of the waves
that, after the lapse of know not how
many minutes, aroused my body to
consciousness. At that moment was
enacting in my dreams the scene of
the burial Of my poor little Bob. The
men were standing around the grave
with the lighted torches in their hands,
and was speaking from what I re-
membered of the service of the dead:
81 am the resurrection and the life,'
saith the Lord; he that believeth in
me. though he were dead, yet shall he
live; and whosoever liveth and be-
lieveth in me shall never die"
