New York.-How large is your vo-

can you summon to mind and write in
one hour, two hours or five hours, with
only your memory to guide you? Mil
tons 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 a 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 a liberal esti-
mate. The Century dictionary is said
to contain about 225 1000 words and the
Standard lays claim to more than 800.

know?

friends who were discussing the vo-
cabulary question, one of them in
