PROFIT IN STUDY or WORDS

The study Of words; it may sound
to you a dry thing, yet | promise
you it is not--very far from it. And
this brings me to suggest that the
habit of one Of the great writers of
studying carefully from a good die
tionary five words each day is one
from which we might all of us get
good deal Of profit. Or, take a good
book Of synonyms, for instance, and
learn from it each day five words
somewhat similar, comparing and
weighing carefully the meanings and
values of them. Notice the degrees
of force in the following To dislike,
to hate, to loathe, to detest, to alb
hor-each note struck is a little
stronger, higher, we might say, like
an ascending crescendo scale. So,
to instruct, to teach, to educate are
each quite different in meaning, with
great nicely of difference. So, re-
buke, reprimand, censure, blame are
all Of one color, but of how different
shades of meaning. So, too, misfor-
tune, calamity, disaster; so, weak,
feeble, decrepit; and what delicate
difference between fame and renown,
or feminine and womanly and WON

Substitutes for Daylight,

As substitute for the ordinary
glass lamp-globe, there has been in.
troduced in Germany a globe made of
thin, translucent marble.
The light produced from this globe
is declared by experts to be almost
the exact counterpart of daylight. An.
other German novelty in illumination
consists Of screen coated with an
aluminium powder which. when placed
before a light, transmits a glare ex.
actly like daylight, by means of which
even colors can be judged with perfect
accuracy.

prove to be all that has been claimed

REGARDING TURKEYS

The Information we get from many
sources is to the effect that in all
Northern Sections, Turkeys. are less
plentiful than last year. Kentucky,
however, appears to have a plentiful
supply and at Thanksgiving, Ken
tucky is most important of all the
western Turkey raising states.
Aside from the quantity nf Tur-
keys available for Thanksgiving trade
there are many factors that influence
prices and it is our opinion that Turkeys
will rule lower this Thanksgiving than
last. All other kinds of poultry at this
writing are cheaper than they have
been.
