WHAT THE TOURISTS SPEND.
Many Millions of Dollars Are Left
Annually in Switzerland and
the Riviera.

An astonishing contrast is apparent
in the sums of money spent by the
average visitor to these two world
famous pleasure resorts, says the
New York World. In the season of
1898 about 100000 tourists visited
Switzerland. They paid TO the land
lords of 1900 hotels and inns a lit
tie less than $25,OOO,OOO. The aver
age hotel bill was, therefore, only
about 81. In addition to this, about
5000, goo was expended for trinkets
and mementoes.
These two items, in addition to
comparatively small outlay for horses
and carriages, form the principal
means of subsistence of the vast num-
Der of people whose livelihood is de-
pendent on the natural features OF
the playground of Europe"
The figures for the Riviera are very
different. In the first place, a sea-
sons visitors are not to be reckoned
bv millions. A recent estimate puts
the annual number at 10000, OF
whom 10000 were English and 10000
Americans, and the money expended
at about $6O,OOO,OOO, or 1925 for the
average visitor.

NO ONE KNOWS THEM ALL.
No. More Than One-Fifth of the Eng
Iish Words Are Used by
Any Writer.

The growth of the English language
is so enormous that it would be prac-
tically impossible for the most learned
man to be acquainted with every
word. Intelligent persons, even those
engaged in the learned professions
do not make use of more than from
5000 to 5000 words all told, although
there are properly belonging to our
language over 100000. The famous
writer or authority of to-day, wheth'
or he uses words to express nice
shades of meaning or as technical
tools of thought in his own depart
ment. must have at his command
vocabulary of from 10000 to 4O'oVo
words. the latter being the maximum
acquired by any man now hVlhg'
There is a large number OF words
which until recently have escaped the
attention of photographers. In the
text of the Encyclopedia Britannica"
there are 10000 words which have
never. been formally entered and de-
fined in any dictionary. In the Cen
tury Dictionary there are 10000 words
found in no other, and it has been
said that there is not to-day any
man living who is sufficiently learned
TO write one average page OF 1000
naqes of this dictionary. To give
some idea of the tremendous growth
of the language the words and phrases
under the letter A have increased in
20 wears from 1000 to nearly 10000.

WHAT THE CENSUS TELLS.

What does the census say7
Study the figures WELL
Hundreds of thousands of hurrying men,
Each with story to tell
Each with a heart and each with soul,
Each with his joys or cares,
Each believing that he, somehow,
Should weigh In the worlds affairs.
What does the census show?
Hundreds of thousands of men
YEARLY quitting their tasks tonight
To toll tomorrow again;
Hundreds of thousands of people, each
Faithfully hoping away
For a glimpse of the chance for the lucky
strike
That each is to make, some day.
What does the census tell?
Does it tell of the eyes that ache?
Does ii tell of the wreath on the little
mound
Does it tell Of the hearts that break?
Does il tell us a story of brotherhood,
OF help for the halt and blind?
Does it tell Of the proud who ride in front
And the weary who trudge behindY
What does the census show?
Hundreds of thousands of hands.
Knotted and rough and white and soft,
Filling the worlds demands;
Hundreds of thousands of sons of God
Toiling in hope, in doubt,
Each with his woes or each with his joys
That the world cares nothing about!
What does the census say?
What do the figures mean?
Hundreds of thousands o'eT whom the
grass
Will some day be growing green!
Hundreds of thousands of bubbles cast
About on a troubled sea-
Men in myriads hurrying past
With never a thought of me!

ALWAYS BE HONEST.
A Good Name Is Worth More to a
Farmer Than to a Mnn Engaged
in City Business.

AS rule the farmer is honest. Some
are so eager to get rich that they are
not very honest with themselves, and 1t
is hardly to be expected they will be
with anybody else. In discussing this
topic. writer in the Homestead right
w concludes that farmer can be the
most dishonest man in the world, if he
desires to be. All the good of every
thing can be put in the top Of the heap
if he is inclined, and there is room in
so many places to be dishonest, but as
class they are not dishonest. The
best man in every special line likes
to make his packages good in quantity
and appearance. He will and should
put few of the best in the top of the
package, but all in the package should
be merchantable. 1t is the honest
farmer that prospers. The dishonest
NAV prosper for a time, but he will lose
the respect of his neighbors and friends
and sometimes even that of his house
hold, The dishonest farmer is trusted
by nobody, and everybody will soon
learn of his tricky ways, and even If he
should feel like doing the square thing
at any time, he will be watched. Get
good name and keep it. 1t is worth
everything to man.
