Origin of words.

Tn the latest volumes of the New English Dictionary pr. Murray and MT Henry Bradley give some very interest ing examples of how words have come into the language It is curious to see how a new discovery extends our vocabulary. For instance, the dls covery of photography has led to %34 words being added to the language Dr. Murray fixes March IA, 1889. as the birthday of the word "photography." It was on that day that Sir John Hers chel used it in a paper he read before the Royal Society. The new word took root in France, and two or three months later when Argo made his re- port to the chamber of deputies con corning the pension of MT. Daguerre, he quoted photographic" as generally accepted word.

Morgan Active ot Seventy.

Newspaper readers, perhaps, have an idea that MT. Morgan is always re- tiring from Wall street and entering the arena again when he feels that he is needed. This is due to the fact that every time the bears have had to man ufacture news on which they could base their selling of the day or hour have sent out the bulletin that Nor gan has retired from the street" Then would come back this bulletin from the opposition: Tt Is said in well in- formed circles that there Is no truth to retire"
 The truth is that at seventy years MT. Morgan is still active in the coun- try's financial affairs, although he no longer leads the strenuous life that he did a few years ago. There Is still a Morgan at his desk in the banking house every day but it is younger Morgan-J. P. Morgan, Jr.-whom H. nanciers look upon as his fathers ul- timate successor. But if the "old man" as he is known, carries out his pres ent plans, he won't retire until forced to- Not long ago a banker. whose fa- ther was a leading banker before him, went to talk over a business matter with MT. Morgan. He found the "o1d man" at his desk wrestling with mass of papers just as he did in his younger days.
 Are you ever going to relax this pressure?" the banker asked.

An Arapahoe began shooting at
him. Suddenly Catches Eagles
