HAS A LARGE VOCABULARY
Number Of Words Used by Small
Child VIII Surprise One Who
10 Not a cioso Observer.

How many words does the ordinary
child know? Fifty? Wrong. A hun,
dred? Wrong again. Five hundred
for a wild guess? A little nearer, but
not much. The truth is that people
underestimate the number Of words
their children can speak.
Take a paper and pencil. follow the
child for several days. several weeks,
putting down every new word that ID
uttered. You'll find out some things
that win surprise you. And when the
word child" Ia used, IL does not refer
to o boy or girl OF seven or eight, but
one Of three.
An investigation recently made by
following q child at that q and not.
ing every word that was used, showed
that 1t had memoriEed 1,TT1 different
words. They covered practically
everything with which the child came
in contact, and were words the child
had never heard before.
Another investigators of words used
by children between / year and 10
months old showed that the lowest vo.
cabulary that was reported included
the use Of go words. The highest was
2s2 words. From two years on, the
vocabulary Of q child increases rapid,
~, until at three years the average
child has q vocabulary OF at least 1000
words.

HIGHER THAN EIFFEL.
5uenos Ayres Proposes to Build .

5uenos Ayres Proposes to Build a
Tower 1873 Feet in the Air.
New York Mail: Buenos Ayres is
contemplating the erection of an Eiffel
tower which will beat the real Eiffel
tower in height by 1S9 feet, being 1,173
feet high. The preliminary steps
have been taken for the erection of
this tower in the metropolis of Argen-
tina. f
1t is to be called the Tore Rivadi-
via, in honor of President Rivadivia,
the Washington of Argentina. The
main tower is to be LOST feet high,
the additional figure being attained by
a 106-foot statue, which win carry at
its top a one million candle power
electric light.
The tower is to be of steel construc-
tion and to have facilities for social
gatherings, cafes, restaurants, library,
billiard rooms, gymnasium, as well as
a wireless ~telegraphic station and a
meteorological observatory. 1t is also
contemplated to install an immense
electric clock.
The Eiffel tower in Paris, by the
way, is not constructed of steel, but OF
iron. 1t is a back number. Argen-
tina's Rtvadfvfa tower will be up to
| date.

How ARMY FIGHTS FIRES.
Method of Preventing and Handling
a lesson 70 fha NATHAN

SN'Nt
Perhaps the low percentage of fires
in the army is directly due to the fact
that guard duty is never suspended.
In daylight n dark. during peace
or in time Of war, armed sentries walk
their posts scattered everywhere over
the g~arrisons. Failing asleep while on
guard is a serious offense. Therefore
the guards are always alert. Never is
a sentry mounted on a post without a
caution to look out for fires.
One of the first charges in a guards
general orders is one in which he is
cautioned to keep a sharp watch for
fire. His first duty, in case a building
Is occupied by humanity, is to warn
the occupants. Next he turns in a
general alarm. And when fire call is
blown by the trumpeter at the main
guard house every male member Of the
garrison, except the guard, is COM
PEELED to hurry to the scene Of the
fire, no matter where he is, and no
matter how he is dressed.
1t Is not necessary that a man
should be in regulation uniform to re-
spond to a fire call. Military fires DO
not wait for antagonists in full dress
parade costume, n more than city
fires procrastinate while the members
of the department make careful toilets.
Once a week, sometimes oftener, in
every military garrison, large or small.
throughout the country, and there are
several hundred at home and in our
possessions. a fire drill is held. Not 81
soul save the commanding officer Is
advised of what hour Of the day or
night or on what day of the week a
fire call will be blown. AS fires do not
give warning of their coming, writes
Monroe Woolley in Insurance Engi-
neering, it is obviously advantageous
that a fire drill should be as uncertain.
When the fire call goes, either for
drill or for a fight for life and prop
erty, the soldiers rush out of their
quarters, leave their posts in the com
pany kitchens and on the drill
grounds, picking up fire buckets and
fire axes as they go in the race for
the fire station. Some may be hatless.
some coatless and others shirtless. But
1t is an honor to be among the first 70
take hold of the fire equipment.
All the officers dash for the fire
house, too, and the highest ranging Of
f1cer present assumes the duties of fire
chief. A run is made with chemical
engines n hand drawn hose carts
n hook and ladder trucks for a
building designated as the scene of the
fire. When the equipment is out for a
fire drill the men take advantage of
the occasion and play water on the
windows of buildings, giving them a
good cleaning.
The amount of fire fighting D
tus furnished the posts by the govern
ment for their protection is regulated
of course, entirely by the size and
needs of each post.

LITTLE DEMAND FOR LEEcHEs

Forty years ago there were q
Paris clone 10 Wholesale dealers In

500 ,00e and 100000 lsecRes monthly,
for which they received on an aver
age about $50 . thousand.

In former times the Paris poor law
administration purchased 10000

was in the sos and '40s of the 18th
century; the administration o W ENDS
itself amply supplied with $40 worth

The great breeding ground fol

around Bordeaux. A poor peasant
named Bechada was the greater 81
the industry. He rented q tract 81

War Correspondents Become Agents.

New York Times: Colonel Roose-
welt has observed what newspaper
men AVE known for some pears past
that the status of the war cor
respondent is much changed from
what It used to be, and that the OBJ
stacles now interposed by govern
mental n military authorities be-
tween the correspondent and his work
are now so great that he can do little
more. promptly, than telegraph to his
paper such information, true or false,
as those authorities want him to pub
lish. Against this, to him. almost in
tolerable control he is still struggling
desperately, and every now and then
he gets through" some real, that is
some uncensored, news, but for the
most part he is sternly kept so far
back of the firing line that he can see
nothing for himself, and he can escape
from his humiliation only by suffer
ing the greater one of letting himself
be used as an instrument to further
the designs of the side to which he
happens to be physically attached.
There is excuse for this treatment
of the once great man, for were he al
lowed to use freely the modern faciI-
tiles OF communication, he could, and
in fact sometimes does, seriously in
~terfere with the successful conduct of
military operations. Hence his great
and growing disfavor with army off,
GERS and their evident desire to sup
press his activities to the greatest pos
sible extent. The result is that the
public has to balance the inspired and
~disingenuous official or semi official re-
ports that come from the opposing
camps, n from it's own conclusions
as to what is going on with such help
as the hampered correspondents can
give. The truth always come out in
the end, and the correspondent gets a
little consolation in telling it in detail
after he gets home, but that is not his
real mission in life.
Colonel Roosevelt, in the paper read
at the naval war college, suggested
tina in the public interest there should
DE more cooperation between com
manders and correspondents. That
sounds well, but how there can be CO.
operation between one man who wants
to tell everything and another who
wants nothing told is not quite clear.
The chances are that the greater
giories OF the war correspondent have
forever departed. He can still get ma
terial for a book, but as a surveyor of
news he tends to become more and
more with every war the humble press
agent OF a general who will permit
criticism as little as the premature
disclosure of military plans. Thus
passes q most picturesque figure.

LIBERTY SELLS LAST cLANe.
Lost It's Voice in Rinsino for Wash
inston's Birthday in 1S43.

Philadelphia Ledger: Seventy
years ago. Feb. %. the Liberty Bell
was ing for the last time. This IS
contrary to. the popular belief.
The usual theory put forth is that
the old bell was cracked in 1885 and
ceased to be rung after that time. Part
Of this notion is correct and part is
wrong.
On the morning of June 8, 1886, the
Liberty Bell, which was a century had
been the city's greatest instrument for
showing joy or grief, vas being tolIed
for Chief Justice John Marshall.
On that occasion 1t was badly
cracked. But, broken as 1t was, the
bell was afterwards rung on great oc-
casions although the tones were but
sorry reminders of the one powerful
sound. So it happened that seventy
years ago Washington'S birthday
1S43--the old bell was once agar
tolled in joy. At that time, however
the previous crack became SO wide
that the tones were completely broken

day, and for seventy years il has re-

ROSE EASY.

Day Gone by When This Mas for
the Rich Only
Harper's Bazaar: There was a time
in the olden days-when there were
few varieties of roses, and but the
three families, and it was the custom
to plant the roses Unfortunately
about the garden, JUST as ones fancy
dictated. But today with the large
number of families and the innumer-
able varieties We have reached the
place where we make whole gardens
Of this one flower. This is the best
way when there is sufficient room so
to do, as they are best appreciated
when one family or variety comes
with others.
The principal rose families are the
following: Tea roses, Hybrid Tea,
Bourbon China, Polyantha, Tea-scent-
ed Polyantha, Climbing Tea, Climbing
Hybrid Tea, Hybrid Perpetual, Hybrid
Rugosa, Moss, Hardy Climber, Wichu-
raiana, Hybrid W~ichuraiana, Hybrid
S~weetbriers, and the real wild rose.
From this list of families, each of
which is divided into thousands of
varieties, we a make a selection of
any reasonable number for almost any
purpose to which it is possible to put
a growing rose.

A DANGEROUS CLASS.
The People Who Refuse to Obey a Law
They Do Not Happen 70 Like.

Ohio state Journal: There was a
great deal of horse race gambling at
Mineral Springs, Ind, and Governor
Marshall ordered the authorities in
that region to obey the law and stop
1t. But they paid no attention to the
governor. Breaking the law was of
no consequence to them. The law
didn't suit them and they kept up
their gambling.
Then the governor arose to a su-
preme sense of duty and sent the
militia down there to enforce the law
and he did it. He didn't intend that
a lot of gamblers should violate the
law any Eore than he would q con-
spiracy OF burglars or i~ncendiaries.
AS governor he regarded the law as a
sacred institution and as chief execu-
tive, sworn to enforce it, he would
do 1t If it took every bayonet in the
state.
There is probably no more danger
Gus class in a community thar that
which refuses to obey a law that they
don't happen to like. It is an ATTACK
on the civic welfare from all sides

there is the law, obey it or I'll SHOOT
