able interest just what the outcome OF
oeneral Harvey's discovery Of the
muety statute will be.
The statement that compulsory mill
!ary' service cannot be required by law

against the British to the north of the

although necessarily slow, against

Use Comparatively Few Words.

Prof. Max Muller, one of the great
est English authorities on language
study. says: "A well-educated per
son in England, who has been at pub
lie school and at the university, who
reads Shakespeare. the Times and all
the books of Nudes library, seldom
uses more than about 5000 or 1000
words in actual conversation. Accur-
ate thinkers and close reasoners who
avoid vague and general expressions
and wait until they find the word that
exactly fits their meaning, employ a
larger stock; and eloquent speakers
may rise TO command of 10000. The
Hebrew testament says all 1t has to
say in 5,642 Words Millions works
are built up with 5000 words; and
Shakespeare, who probably displayed
a greater variety of expression than
any writer in any language, produced
all his plays with about fifteen thou
sand words"
