day, one of which asked for the author
Of Drink to Me Only With Thine
Eyes" So far Mr.. Jordan has found
no correct answer to the question.
The superintendent believes that it 10
not unusual that no one Of the fifty
applicants should know that Ben John

put to music.
According to the present plan the
members of the state board ask var
ious college professors over the state
to submit questions and ~ a conse.

that members of the advanced classes
in the colleges are not able to answer
them. After grading the present list

ever convinced that some change
should be made.

A FatefuI Breach Of Etiquette.

'S1SH OF GefQOOSeSs
Under the third empire in France
Sainte- Beuye brought disgrace upon
himself because 1t breakfast ut the
Tuileries he careiessly opened his nap
kin and placed it over his two knees
To this lie added the crime Of cutting
his egg in two ut the middle. Court
etiquette prescribed that the half fold
ed napkin should lie on the left knee
and the top Of the egg was to be mere
~ broken with the edge Of the spoon
and drained with the tip Of the spoon.
For his failincs in these respects
Sainte Beuve's name was stricken of

Constantly Add to Language.

The number of words In the English
language has never been accurately
estimated. 1t would be almost impos
sible to do so. for the language Is be
ing constantly enriched by the add.
ton OF new words. The Standard die.
tionary is said to contain 800. 900
words and the Century 225,000. In his
various plays Shakespeare used about
$4,000 words. Milton used only about
half as many In his writings. A per.
son OF culture and education has a
speaking vocabulary of about 5000
words, an ordinary person uses from
1000 to 5000 words 1t Is said that
every person has three vocabularies.
The largest is the reading vocabulary
which Is the words OF which he knows
the meaning and which convey ideas
TO his mind when seen in print. The
second largest is the writing vocab
plary, or the words he uses In written
thought. The smallest is the speak
ing vocabulary, or the words he uses
In conversation
