tarantula was once a notorious pest
in the region about Taranta that the
magnetic property was first noticed
in iron ore dug in the neighborhood
of Magnesia; that parchment was first
made at Pergamus. cambria at Cam

If the dictionary told us no more
than this it would be worth reading.
But 1t does more. 1t is more than a
history of usage; 1t is more than a
history of language. 1t contains, in
brief, and with many gaps, some of
which cannot now be filled, all the
annals OF the human race. 1t exhibits
the beggings, borrowings and steal
ings of our language from others; 1t
is a record of the commercial spirit
and indefatigable business energy of
the Anglo Saxon race. There is not
a commercial nation on the earth
which has not been forced to stand
and deliver to the English language
such words as the English-speaking
people needed in their business. Nor
is that all, for 1t bears testimony to
the fact that when we need a word
and cannot find one to suit. we do
not hesitate to make one. Verify, he
who buys a dictionary buys the sum
total of what the English language
has to offer in history, in art, in sci
ence. poetry and philosophy, for all
are concentrated in this one book.

July Out of Town.
According to the figures given out
by the car lines, $4,000 people spent
yesterday at the resorts.
The Tybee Railroad carried $500 to
the seashore, the Thunderbolt line ham

Avondale, and for the Wilmington and
Warsaw steamers; the Isle of Hope
and Montgomery lines $500, and the
West End line 5000 for Lincoln Park,

1t was gala day everywhere except
in the city. Everybody seeed to have
gone somewhere. In town there was an
almost total suspension of business. In
the wholesale section the stores were
closed all day. In the retail section
nearly everything closed at noon and

Not in years has there been such
a general observance Of July 4, devoid

the satisfactory way In which the
crowds were handled by the car lines.
The Tybee Railroad moved the nearly
1000 people who visited the seashore

SHIRTWAIsT IDEAS.

Linen collars, says the New York
Sun, are worn by the few and not the
many, but for those who must have
the severe effect there is the stock of
white pique and linen with the tie and
short bow or crossed ends fastened
with a fancy pin. The tie may be in
color if you like. In general, how
ever, the stiff stocks, so uncomforta-
BILE and injurious to the neck, have
gone of fashion.
Bands of fine linen, in white or color,
joined with fancy stitch, or narrow
lace insertion and inset directly in
front with a medallion of lace, make
very attractive stocks.
The blouse which bags all around is
very smart, but it rather needs an
elaborate surface decoration to make
it effective. Absolutely plain material
made in this way is not pretty.
In heavier linens there is a style
called the 'pajama blouse" very plain,
very broad on the shoulders, and fin
ished down the front with genuine
pajama frogs. The seams of these plain
waists are made daintily with bead
ing and it is useless to add that they
are much more becoming to young
slender girls than to any one else. All
the heavy materials, whether mercer
lied or not, are distinctly smart if
made up plain. A stitched band, or
two stitched bands, outlining the
shoulder seam and pointing bit over
the sleeve, are very effective as a
means of giving the long shoulder eff

pet has been taught to perform mar
velous tricks. More than this, the ed
ucation of cats has produced develop
ments of the feline skill that up to
this time were unheard of.
The perceptive faculties, which lie
close above the eyes in the forward
part of the brain, grow to unusual
size through education.
The bumps of memory and locality,
which are we'll in the front of the
head, also increase in size, while the
organ of self-esteem is noticeably de-
Veloped.
chronological examinations of a
number of highly trained animals
show just how the various faculties
of cats intellect are increased by the
training which hitherto was deemed
impossible.
Students of the intellectual life of
the lower animals have always held
that cats are stupid, and that IL is
impossible to teach them anything. In
scientific works relating to mammals
very little space is devoted to this do
nestle animal, while pages are given
to the thinking apparatus of dogs and
monkeys.
But the perseverance and patience
of Joseph Coleman, an animal train
er, has resulted in the discovery of
the natural aptitudes of the cat and
of the best means of stimulating their
ideas and leading them on to better
things than warm spot near the

Halbmann, of Heidelberg, who declared
that cats are incapable Of learning any

These cats, selected when very young
and put through a course of training
that has lasted in some cases for years,
have brains that are developed far be-
yond the normal. To speak of them
as abnormal is incorrect. but through
active use of the natural talent these
cats are able to think more clearly and
recollect more distinctly than the or
binary animal.
Among those who witnessed a recent
performance of these cats at a local
theater was the noted phrenologist, DR..
John L. Capen of Philadelphia His
first view of their tricks awakened

Coleman, the trainer, readily acqui-

the benefit Of the scientist.

Sweet Polly-she can shine at night,
A star of purest splendor,
With jewels blazing in her hair,
And eyes serene and tender;
But never is she half as sweet
In all the light and luster,
AS when she wears her sweeping cap
And yields her feather duster.
Such little scolding curls peep out
Beneath the caps wide frilling,
The grinning mandarin she dusts
With rapture must be thrilling.
A king must step from off his throne
And with his life would trust her,

WORDS AND THEIR ORIGIN.
Much to be Lenrned From study of
the Dictionary.

the Dictionary.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
In an important sense the dictionary
is the sum total of all human learning,
the aggregate of all human experience
In the ultimate analysis the unit of lit
erature is the word and a collection of
all the words of language is a record
of all that men have thought learned
or experienced A word now passed
into common usag e may be an unrec-
ogniZed relic of great historic event;
it may record a long-forgotten custom;
II may tell us of peculiarities of char
actre or oddities of habit now unknown
save to him who studies the dictionary,
for in the words of a language are Of
ten crystalized no small share of the
past of the people who use them. The
arts, the sciences, the religions, the SUI
perstitions, even the rogueries and de-
ceits of the past are embodied in our
words. A sincere man is a man with
out deceit The word was once APP
piled in commentator of Well-made
furniture. In the good old days we
read about cabinet makers manufac-
turing their wares of honest, flawless
wood Then came rogues at the bus
mess, who filled up knotholes and
cracks with wax. Sine cera, which
means without wax, was soon con-
tracted into sincere, and sincere fur
niture, therefore, meant the best that
could be made.
The dictionary tells us Of the origin
of things familiar, and in it's pages
we may learn that the bayonet was
first made at Bayonne, France; that
damask and the damson came orig
inally from Damascus; that coffee first
came to Euprope from Kaffa. and cop
