MAKING A DICTIONARY.
The Colossal Task Of Selecting the

The Colossal Task OF Selecting the
Words 70 Be Used.
One OF the men who compiled a big
dictionary talks as follows about the
way the work was done:
From the largest dictionary Of the

copied. aud then each of The smaller
dictionaries was checked Off I'm turn
against this growing list When the
dictionaries had been thus exhausted
all the living authors of works that
had an undoubted standard value were
secured 10 contribute from their works
such words as they had used that were
not found in the general dictionaries.
In addition 10 this. the services Of
about 200 readers were Gtilized, among
whom was distributed all the standard
literature from Chaucer to the present
time. These readers were instructed
to report such words as seemed to bc

who passed upon the eligibility Of each

The conservative care exercised IN
determining the scope and limits Of n
vocabulary can be Inferred from the
fact that IN one Of these offices. after
a "dragnet" had gathered over 100000
words. more than 100000 were finally
rejected. These included words that
were still too completely foreign TO
merit a place in an English vocabu-
larry, all the used but once" words,
considerable slang language and many
technical terms that had good reasons
against them. The fixing Of a date be-
fore which words should be excluded,
except on certain conditions, resulted
In throwing ont many.
When words have been selected for a
dictionary, several distinct things must
be done with ihem. They must be III.

Mr.. Hammerstein will sail next
Tuesday for Europe. where he will en-

al additional stars. He has arranged
for conference with Nine. Cosima
Wagner, to take place at Baireuth on

of the two potentates is awaited with
much interest here. Several singers
will be there at the recommendation
of Nine. Wagner and the rotund Oscar

Mr.. Hammerstein declares that he
intends to add to his already brilliant
array of artists number of famous
singers that will make Herr Conreid's
company at the Metropolitan appear
cheap and tawdry. If money can ac-
complish such an end Oscar may sue

Metropolitan will be doing business at
the same old stand for many years
to come. New York is quite big
enough for both.
Julian Edwards new cantata, 1.-THE

Mr.. Edwards first effort of this kind,
