DAILY TIMES RECORDER: DNEsDAY DECEMBER 10 ian2
LEARNING A LANGUAGE.
1t Is Comparatively Easy to Acquire
a working Vocabulary.

at doesn't require any great length
of time TO learn a language if one has
/ patience" said a man who has mas
tered several languages, land when |
/ hear man regret that he is not able
to sneak French or German or Spanish
/ or some other language unknown to
him / cannot conceal my amusement
/ Tn nine eases out of ten l might say
/ that the men who express regret Of
/ this sort handle English very poorly
I if that happens to be their language.
THE chances are that their vocabu-
larias are extremely limited, and it
would probably surprise them to know
that despite the advantages of birth
and education they could not command
more than 600 or 700 words in English
if their lives depended upon it. Yet
they are able to carry on intelligent con-
versation, and many of them may be-
come forcible and even automatic in
their savings, and they plunge into dis
cussions of literature, art, music and
other subjects of such fine elegance
and do it rather successfully too.
''Now, how long ought it to take for
a man to learn 600 or 700 or even 1000
words in any language? Certainly it
ought not to take any great length of
time, and from my own experience l
know that it does not. OF course I am
not speaking now of mastering so that
one can get the full benefit of all the
refnements of speech in a particular
tongue
But | have in mind the idea Of
speaking intelligibly in a given Ian
guage and being able to understand
perfectly what is said in return. have
a system which have worked out, and
it has been Of vast benefit to me and
has enabled me to learn a number of
languages. 1t occurred to me while /
was in Mexico a few years ago on i'm
portant business.
q could not speak a word of Spanish
and could not understand the language
I concluded that l would learn the Ian,
guage. My plan was simply this: /
made up my mind that l would not re-
tire at the close of any day as long as
/ was there without learning at least
three words in Spanish, how to pro-
nounce them and what they meant.
That would give me ninety words per
mouth, or something over 1000 in
years time."-New Orleans Times
Democrat.

her husband, you know when | say

Perhaps the city girl in the following
story, told by the Philadelphia Tele-
graph, allowed herself a similar lati-
tude Of expression:
She was sitting on the porch, lazily
rocking to and fro and watching the
firedies fitting about through the
shrubbery. Suddenly she turned to
her companions and said in a musing
tone:
Il wonder if it is true that firedies
do get into the haymows sometimes
and set them afre."
Everybody laughed at what was ap-
parently a pleasantly, but the young
lady looked surprised.
"Why." said she, sit was only yester-
day that l saw in the paper an article
headed Work of Firebugs.' 1t said
they had set a barn on fire. Really"

A Forbidden Topic.

"There is one topic peremptorily for
hidden to all well bred, to all rational,
mortals," says Emerson, namely,
their distempers. If you have not slept
or if you have slept or if you have
headache or sciatica or leprosy or thun-
dcrsToke. | beseech you by all angels
10 nald your peace and not pollute the
morning, to which all the housemates
bring serene and pleasant thoughts, by
corruption and groans. Come out of
he azure. Love the day"

it is TO be an invalid, it may prove al
NEST as painful to be an invalid's

TO MEASURE COST OF SHIP.
Careful Method by which fhe Gov
ernmenf VIII Follow COnstruc-
ton of BaftIesbip.

Accurate comparison Of the cost of
a battleship built by the government
and of those which will be constructed
by private shipbuilding firms is to be
made by means of a plan submitted by
Rear Admiral Bowles, chief CON
structor, to Secretary Moody. The sub
mission of this plan was made stimuli
taneously with preliminary steps
taken by Rear Admiral Bowles to OBJ
tain for the government 5000 tons of
structural steel to be used in the con-
struction of the proposed government
built vessel.
In the action he has taken Rear Adj
miral Bowles has sought to insure the
department obtaining the material at
the same price as it is furnished to
private shipbuilders. While it is inn
possible for the navy department to
learn exactly the cost of ship to a
contractor, it will be able to estimate
the value of certain work when pay
ments are made. 1t will be possible,
under the plan of Rear Admiral
Bowles, to compare the estimates thus
made with the prices which will be
paid on groups of articles of the same
character.
Rear Admiral Bowles proposes that
all plumbing shall form a special
group; that structural steel will be
grouped together; electric light plant
will form a separate group and en-
gines and boilers win be considered to-
gether. The expense incurred by the
government for employing officers, in
spectors, and labor employed direct
ly in constructing the ship, and in run
ming off the trial trip will all be esti-
mated. Secretary Moody has referred
Rear Admiral Bowles' plan to the sew
eral chiefs of bureaus with a request
for their views.
