Misusing the Dictionary.

1t is not the use, but the misuse of
the dictionary that is deplorable,
writes Robert ]. Menner in The Allan
tic. When one happens upon a strange
word it is quite natural to refer to
the dictionary, both for it's meaning
and it's pronunciation. The pronun-
citation of technical terms of an art or
science with which we are unfamiliar
can often be learned in no other way.
But when the dictionary is appealed
to as an infallible however unreason-
able judge, when monstrosities and
century-old fossils are exhumed from
It's pages to be f1aunted in the faces
of our friends, it is time to recall it's
true function of mere recorder
If we should use our energies, spent
in this pleasant but absurd revival of
antiquities. in occasionally noticing
pronunciations which, though COM
mon, slight reflection would prove to
be at least extremely careless, we
should appease the goddess of ortho-
epy in much more satisfactory man
ner.

READING REALLY A FINE ART
Aim Should Be to Extract Best From
Book Without Having to
Read II "Throuqh."

The duty of taking the reading of
the run Of books, old and new, more
seriously, and going through the
whole with grim determination, rests
heavily on the consciences Of many.
We do not here refer, says the New
York Times, to reviewers, or the old
jokes about their preserving critical
impartiality by not reading the works
of which they write notices. The
question is, rather. of those who read
for pleasure, or to amass information,
or to keep their intellectual interests
alive. Must it be woe to them if they
do not read each volume to the bitter
end? The best answer is to be had
from the great readers. Macaulay
could dispose of half dozen books
in his cab on the way to the house of
commons. Naturally he did not read
them through" But if there was any
thing in any of them that he wanted,
his unerring eye hit upon the passage.
That was enough for him. He had
he care about the pulp? DR.. Johnson
had similar habits. Adam Smith said
of him: johnson knew more books
than any man." yet, Immediately aft
er recording this tribute, Boswell
wrote of his hero: "He had a peculiar
facility in seizing at once what was
valuable In any book, without submit
ting it to the labor of perusing it
from beginning to end"

WITH EYE TO THE DIVIDENDS
Conductor Felt Obliged to Charge Pas
senger for Rent, II Not for
Transportation.

They jolted along for about two
blocks after the man paid his fare;
then, with a mighty jerk, the car came
to dead stop. When it had stood
motionless for over half an hour the
man conceived the brilliant idea of
trying to get uptown by means of
some other line, and he approached
the conductor in a friendly manner,
and asked him to give him his money
back. The conductor did not re-.
spond in like fraternal spirit.
Cant do It," he said.
"Oh, now, see here" the man ar
gued. This is not right, you know.

he said Amt you been sittin here
In the car for the last half hour, and
amt you willin' to pay for that? You
can't go in any place in this town
without payin' rent, and you might as
well pay in nice, comfortable street
car as any place else"
well, I'm blessed" said the man,
and the idea of paying rent in a
street car as being so novel and so
thrilled him with such appreciation
of favors received that he went away
without even thinking of his nickel
again.-Chicago Record-Herald.

Dead CITY of Asia,

Of the seven cities Of Asia, perhaps
Sardis has the most interesting and ro-
mantle history, and yet, with all it's
wealth, its famous rulers, it's wise
counselors, it's victorious armies, 1t
was the greatest failure of them all.
The richest man in the world, Croe-
sus, was king OF Sardis; the wisest
man, Solon, was her guest, and yet,
through overconfidence and lack of
watchfulness, time and again it was
surprised, conquered and all but de-
stroyed, until at last the disintegrat-
ing rock and soil from It's own citadel,
loosened by the winter rains, and
hurled down by destructive earth
quakes, buried the city 80 feet deep
from the sight of man. 1t became a
dead city, and it was buried by the
forces of nature.-The Christian Her
aid.
