A Three-Year-old Boy With a vocabu-
larry of 1,77I Words.

In The American Magazine for No
vember Prof g. M. Whipple Of Cornell
writes an account OF his son, entitled
"A Three Year old Boy With a Vocabu.
larry of LII Words" He writes:
The truth is, | believe, that most
parents greatly underestimate the num-
Der Of words that are used by their
children. The only way TO get childs
speaking vocabulary is to 90 after it
with pencil and paper and religiously
to set down his words, one by one, not
for day or for several days, but for
several weeks. When, during the course
of a dinner table conversation. [ asked
how many words an ordinary, every
day three-year- old boy could use, the
first of my friends guessed 100 words /;
his estimate was greeted with derision
by the other, who declared; oh, pshaw;
fifty words would cover the vocabulary
of the brightest three-year-old you ever
knew Needless to add that my asser-
ton that my own youngster at that age
actually used, by count, LII differ
ent words was the occasion Of polite
incredulity and iocose, commiseration Of
the fond but deluded parent.
However, this vocabulary is on record
in detail Pedagogical Seminary, March,
1907. and the inquiaitiye reader may
learn there that it is by no means the
largest vocabulary that has been report
ed, though, to be sure, probably above
the average performance In the TWEEN
ty odd published vocabularies. we find
that children from sixteen to nineteen
months are using from 60 to 232 words,
that -yearold children are using
from lis TO l,227 words and that the
vocabulary increases rapidly from that
time on. 1t is perfectly safe to assert
that the average three-year-o child
makes use of 900 words. This holds
true at least for the child who has an
ordinary quantum of curiosity and
normal tendency toward linguistic imita-
tion and who Is in daily contact with
parents or older children who are ready
60 name situations for him as fast as
they appear"

TESTS OF STRENGTH
Coming at the Meetings Of the National
Grange.

Columbus, O., Nov. l7.--Lines were
drawn up for conflict between the so
called reactionary and insurgent fac
tions Of the national grange at yester,
DAYS sessions. Both sides promised
that the supreme test of strength of the
factions will come when committee re-
ports are proposed on nominations fof
officers or membership on committees
are suggested.
Members Of the new so-called "middle
OF the road" group, organized by Ia
masters in secret session Wednesday
declared that this element would hold
the balance of power in the sessions
of the grange.
This group, il was found, has a mem
bership, the majority of which is also
listed among the membership Of the So
called insurgent faction.
Yesterdays sessions were for the most
part given up to organization, in which
the contest for control was waged furi-
ously.

BIRD sANcTUARIEs.
The Fifty-two National Preserves Main
tanned in This Country.

Inc fIfty-two national preserves MAIN
tanned in This Country.
The National Association of Audubon
Societies is the pioneer Of bird protec-
tion in this country. Through its eff
forts ffty-two national bird reserves
have been set aside and maintained, and
many places have been supplied with
wardens to protect the birds during the
breeding season.
Germany has preceded us in the CON
servation of birds, as well as of the for
ests, and has done much to supply in
artificial ways what has been destroyed
through carelessness or by widespread
cultivation of the land. They are grow
ing hedges where certain birds can nest,
cutting oil the tops of trees in places
so that they may spread out lower
branches, thus forming the thiekets that
birds love and that have been too thor
oughly done away with by civilization.
They tie bushes together to make bet
ter shelter, hang skinfully constructed
boxes everywhere possible to take the
place of dead trees. The Grand Duchy
of Hesse installed $500 of these boxes in
the government forests that were all in
time discovered by the birds and taken
possession Of The government has also
ordered the old trees to be left standing
in the crown forests, that the natural
nesting places be not all destroyed.
Baron Won Berlepsch, called the father
Of modern scientific bird conservation,
has equipped his large estate at Seebaeh
as an experimental station for bird pro-
lection. His methods OF feeding, his
skill in initiating the natural holes
found in old trees that birds use for
nesting purposes, his clever and sym
pathetic way of making birds that nest
in the grass, bushes, thickets, tall trees,
dead trees, clay banks, etc, feel at home
are copied by many other land owners
And the wisdom Of his protection has
been thoroughly proved, for at times
when adjoining estates were ruined by
insect pests his were fresh and I'M
harmed, an undeniable proof Of the serv-
ice the birds render mankind when per-
mitted to do so. His orchards furnished
with nesting boxes are free from cater
pillars when all the rest of the neighbor-
hood suffers from these pests.--From the
Craftsman.

Don't Wait for the Fatal Stag
es of Kidney Illness Prof.
it by Lexington Peo'
ple's ExDerience,

Occasional attacks Of backache, ir-
regular urination, headaches and diz-
zy spells are common early symptoms
of kidney disorders. It's an error to
neglect these ills. The attacks may
pass off for a time but return with
greater intensity. If there are symp-
toms of dropsy-puffy swellings below
the eyes, bloating of limbs and ankles
or any part of the body, don't delay a
minute. Begin taking Doan's Kidney
Pills, and keep up the treatment until
the kidneys are we'll, when your old
time health and vigor will return.
Cures in Lexington prove the effective
ness of this great remedy.
Mrs. Myrtle Harling, Factory Hill,
Lexington, S. c., says: 81 can highly
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills. for I
have observed the good results that
have followed their use. A member
of my family had kidney and bladder
trouble and his back achcd intensely.
He used Doan's Kidney Pills and they
gave him immediate relief. We don't
think there is better kidney medi-
cine to be had.'

"Why, no." said the old lady. I
hadn't heard o. that. Won't there be

the reply.

When you pull down the town in
which is your home, you ale pulling
down yourself, and when you build up
you are building up yourself and your
neighbor. Try and Danish from your
mind the mistaken idea that all good
things are off in some other locality.
Give your town all the praise it can
legitimately bear. 1t certainly will do
you no harm and will cost you nothing;
but above all patronize your home
institutions.

Think Happy Thoughts

Think happy thoughts!
Think always of the best,
Think of the ones that you love, not
those that you detest;
Think of your victories, and not your
failures here,
The smile that pleases and not the
hurtful sneer;
The kindly. word and not the harsh
word spoken,
The promise kept and not the promise
broken;
The good that you have known and
not the bad,
The happy days that were and not the
sad;
Think of the rose and not the withered
flower,
The beauty Of the rainbow, not the
shower.
Think happy thoughts!
This is true happiness!
That life is sad that feeds on it's dis.
tress;
That mind is gloomy that subsists on
gloom,
And is as dismal as curtained room,
Where daily comes the sunshine but to
find
It cannot enter through the close
drawn blind;
Fling up the curtains of your mind to-
day
And let the morning sunshine in to
play;
Dwell on the joys and not the sorrows
here,
Master your thoughts and you have
mastered fear.
Think happy thoughts!
