An aching back is instantly
relieved by an application of
Sloan's Liniment.
This liniment takes the place
Of massage and is better than
sticky plasters. It penetrates
without rubbing through
the skin and muscular tissue
right to the bone, quickens the
blood, relieves congestion, and
gives permanent as well as
temporary relief.
Here's the Proof.

BY ADAM c. HAsELeARrH.

New York.-How large is your vo-
cabulary? How many different words
can you summon to mind and write in
one hour, two hours or five hours, with
only your memory to guide you? Mil.
toms vocabulary is said to have been
5000 words; Shakespeare's $4,000. It
has been estimated that an illiterate
person uses from 500 to 1000 words
and that well-educated person to-day
knows perhaps as many as $4,000 and
uses $4,000 to 10000 in conversation.
Even person who cannot read may
command 5000 words, according to
writer's. Yet, only seven years ago,
Prof. William Swinton said that for
the ordinary English conversation of
adults 1000 words is liberal esti.
mate. The Century dictionary is said
to contain about 225, 900 words and the
Standard lays claim to more than 3OO,-
600. How many of these words do you
know?
Sitting one day with some literary
friends who were discussing the vo-
cabulary question, one of them in
CURED how many words l thought I

statement. That fixed my determine.
ton to try it. l volunteered to go to
a desk, write for the prescribed period
trust only to my memory and submit
the papers to them for decision with
out counting the words myself. The
afternoon of the next day was appoint

I1OOLO your sweetheart
IMI@NEI seem to fix her mind
IAN8 rather upon her Easter
1S&&&)G hat than upon the Easter
~ sermon, please do not
show your ignorance by
accusing her of vanity. She, no
doubt, has delved deep in old-time
lore and puts full faith in the ancient
belief that one must wear some ar
ticle of dress for the first time on
Easter Sunday to insure good fortune
IN love affairs through the year.
Also, young women with Easter hats
have been known to weep because of
rain on Easter Sunday. However,
the cause of this phenomenon has alb.
solutely nothing to do with the effect
of rain upon ribbons and feathers.
These maidens believe, no doubt, with
the good folk of Sussex that the
crops are sure to fail if it rains on
Easter Sunday, for rain on that day
portends rain for every day in the
following year.
So you see there are good and suf1.
Client reasons for the annual fuss and
trouble over the Easter hat. AS an
outward and visible symbol of the in.
ner joyousness it is almost as Chris.
tianity. OF course the connection be.
tween inner joyousness and a mon.
strosity that looks like an old wooden
chopping bowl sprouting forth a
small truck garden may not be an.
parent to all. We must leave that
point to the owners of the hats who.
Prof. Munsterberg tells us, are not so
intellectual as men but are more
subtle in reasoning powers. It is to
be hoped that the professor knows
what this means.
After the Easter bonnet, the most
widely known Easter symbol is the
colored egg. The presence of the
. egg In our Easter celebration has been
accounted for in a variety of ways.
With Its wonderful dormant germ of
life 1t Is truly marvellous thing. It
Is found In every oriental cosmogony
and 1t Is not at. all surprising that the
early Christians adopted it as a sa-
cred symbol, for 1t is a perfect and
apt emblem of the resurrection. At

This custom Of coloring eggs is
older than Christianity, for it is
known to have been common among
all ancient people. The Parsees dis
tributed red eggs at their spring fes-
