TO ACQUIRE A GOOD VOCABULARY.
Read Good Books and Listen While Well.
Educated People Talk.

GA good vocabulary is acquired by
reading good books, as well as by hear
ing the talk of those who express them
selves in the speech of educated peo-
Ple," writes Margaret f. Sangster, in
the September Ladies' Home Journal.
Thought lies back of speech, and the
more subjects interest us the more
command of language we shall have in
which to describe them. They who
read scientific books will have a grasp
OF scientific terms. They who dis
criminate nicely and use the very best
word to say what they have in their
minds will consult a dictionary and
see what are the similarities or the con-
trasts of certain words; will choose, as
among gems, the fawless ruby or
crystal; will not be satisfied except
with the exact word which can express
precisely the meaning they wish to
convey. The reading of good authors
lifts our vocabulary from meanness and
meagerness to nobility and splendor,
enriches our speech with words which
are like beautiful embroidery on the
garment of daily life and furnishes
us with illusions, quotations and
phrases which are picturesque, ap-
posite or convenient for illustration. .

TOWNSEND HAS BUSY POLITICIANS.
Candidates Have Large FOIIOwings and Heavy
Voting viii be the Result.

The local political pot is now boiling
at Townsend and the various candi-
dates are unusually active at this time,
there being SO many men, seeking the
various offices. The fight for the
county commissionership is being Wig
orously waged by John Seemans of
Blackbird, James Moore of Port Penn,
Daniel Cochran of Middletown, and
John Armstrong of Odessa. 1t is nip
and tuck with them, but at present
James Moore of Post Penn looks a
winner.
The other candidates are popular all
through the hundred and in conse-
quence there promises to be large
vote polled by each man on Saturday
The contest among the Democrats
for Legislative honOrs is equally inter
esting. 1t is among William Duhad-
daway, Henry NJ. Smith and John
Stats, the chances of Mr.. Duhaddaway
being favorable at this time. For the
assessorship nomination. Nathaniel
Vanhorn is known to be leading at a
lively pace. His nomination was con-
ceded at Townsend.
Smyrna times., 1900-09-12
American Coal in Bavaria.

American coal has been tried on the
Bavarian State railways. 1t was found
superior to German coal, but this is
offset by its high price. 1t costs per
ton delivered at Munich 26 marks (S6-
49,, while the Ruhr coal can be held
for IS marks ($4.2S) per ton. There is
also to be considered the fact that the
American coal, during its four weeks
journey and repeated transhipment,
loses a considerable percentage. At
the mines it is loaded on cars, at the
seaport it is put on shipboard, at Ham
burg or Bremen it is again loaded into
cars-by all of which is broken and
suffers a considerable loss in weight.
In consequence Of all these disadvan-
tages the general use of American coal
on German railways is under present
conditions impossible.
