Sometimes when we are in a poetical

somewhat irritated by the advertise

with many staring posters. But when
we remember that each of those signs
represents some great industry. which,
in turn, is one of the financial pillars
of our great nation, and that same in

gaudy signs wear quite a different
aspect to us.

Weddings In Australia.

In Australia there are so few natives
left that anything but white mans
marriage is a comparative rarity. The
curious difference, however. between
weddings there and in the mother
country is that here we license the
place FOR the solemnization of the cere-
mony, and at the Antipodes they Ii
cense the man who performs the rites.
Marriage can be performed at the reg
istrar's office for a guinea, but if a
minister knowingly marries a minor
without her peoples consent, he is
liable to Imprisonment and a fine of
81 500. If, however. the contracting
parties have taken the oath that they
are of age, he is safe. though it has
happened more than once that young
lovers have gone TO the registry office
and obviously perjured themselves on
the age question. A smart but very
young-lo looking girl in Australia who
was once asked: Have you the written
consent of your parents?" responded:

said was accurate enough, for she had

AN ORDINARY VOCABULARY,
A Man Can Converse With as Low as
500 Words.
New York Times.)


Some one has asked what is meant
man can converse with a vocabulary of
only 500 different words" The Fort
nightly Review some nine years ago
said that the number of words in use
among the Russian peasantry did not
exceed from 100 to 200" This state
ment we should deem incorrect. How
ever. we have an authority who writes
that "a Russian peasant is verbose
when he has a vocabulary of from 800
to 400 words
1t has been stated over and over
again that in English there are 100000
words. and the philologer adds that
this large number is the accumulation
of many centuries, and that nothing
like that number could have been
kept except through the influence of
literature" Now, it is highly possible
that the English words, by an adopt
i've process and natural causes, will not
diminish but increase. Are we to in
clude in these 100000 words dialectic
English? Somebody asks, Does any
body know all these 100000 words %
Shakespeare's count of words shows
$1,000, and of these 500 or 500 are obso-
lete. 4 Chinaman, so we are told,
passes a brilliant examination when he
is the possessor of 5000 words.
If in New York you can use with
discrimination 1000 words you are eX-
ceedingly we'll to do in your lingual
possessions. That exceedingly sound
authority. Skeat, said, when combining
himself to primary words he tackled
some 1880. He found there were 1000
of Teutonic origin, 5000 French, 200
Latin, 400 Greek and $50 of Celtic and
other sources. IF, therefore, we con-
fined our attention to that portion of
English which is Teutonic, we find that
English proper consists of 1000 indie
pendent words"
Milton. we may remark. was satisfied
with 5000 words. Nevertheless, if we
have dictionary fitted for the require
ments of today, it must have in it
every English word sanctioned by us
age. past or present. 1t would never
do for the modern dictionary maker to
follow DR.. Johnson, who wrote: Il
could not visit caverns to learn the
miners language, nor take a voyage
to perfect my skill in the dialect of
navigation, nor visit the warehouses of
merchants and the shops of artificers
TO gain the names of wares. tools and
operations of which no mention is
found in books What could Johnson
know about steam and its many APP
plications? Take the one topic, cleo
tricity. A half century ago the whole
extent of the subject might have been
covered in dictionary by three or four
words and their definitions.
A vocabulary might be called a per-
sonal idiosycrancy, which in cultured
persons yAries with the individual. The
superior intelligence is shown in the
selection of the words used and in the
nicetv of handling them.

Belief That the Service Can Be Great

from This Part of the Country,
Taking Them to San Francisco

Washington, May 1S.-Secretary of
the Navy Long is deeply interested in
the result of an experiment which is TO
be made under the direction of Captain
John NJ. Hawley for the enlistment OF
800 or $50 men in the middle west and
west. 1t is believed western enlistments
will quicken that sections interest In

Many inquiries have been received py
the department from the west by young
men of adventurous spirit who would
like to Join the navy, but who cannot
afford the expense of travelling to New
York or Boston, with the chance OF
rejection after their arrival. 1t Is pro-
posed, therefore. to send a recruiting
officer through the west next month TO
gather in 300 or $50 recruits.
Only bright and promising American
citizens between the ages OF 10 ana 20

war as commander of the auxiliary
yacht Vixen, which was attached to
Schleys flying squadron.
In addition to the recruits she Will

If this experiment is success. as
Captain Hawley confidently expects, 1t

BROOKE DISREGARDs ORDERS.
His Actions Create CONSERVATION In
War Department.

New York, May ia special to the
World from Washington says:
General Brooke was instructed by the
president TO insist that the arms of the
Cubans be turned over to officers of the
United States army. Instead, General
Brooke agreed with General Gomez that
the arms should be surrendered to the
mayors of the Cuban cities.
General Corbin left for Hot Springs
tonight to learn from the president
whether or not he viii insist upon his
original order to General Brooke being
carried out.
Officials of the war department re-
gard General Brooke's disregard of the
presidents instructions as a moral vic
tory for General Gomez and the dissat-
isfied Cubans.
Secretary Alger is highly indignant
over General Brooke's surprising, disre-
gard of the presidents strict orders. He
has telegraphed to the president full
details.
1t is generally conceded that these de-
velopments in Cuba will greatly delay
the distribution of the $4,000. 900 to the
Cuban army.
