on wildwood have been famous for
the best deep-sea fishing in the coun-
try.
Wildwood is always cool in summer.
1t is practically surrounded by water.
On the east and south is the broad

Secretary III. H. Hart of the State Board of
Corrections and Charities says: that the number of
paupers reported in the in December, 1890,
1850; the total number in 1891 was 6,281, a
decrease of ,169 instead of increase. The cost
of caring for paupers for 1890 $304638, and for
1891, $308,085 1t will be seen that increased ex-

Increasing the Vocabulary

When you read book and come to word
do you pass it by or turn the dictionary to learn
it's meaning?
An extensive vocabulary is one of the best indi-
cations of education and culture and careful reading
is one of the most effective ways of adding new
words The use of the dictionary should not be re-.
garded as task but pleasure to be resorked to
upon every convenient OCCASION Some people make
a daily study of the words.
The ordinary individual of fair education. we
are told, controls from 5000 to 5000 words. A
modern encyclopedia says that this estimate is too
high, even in America. An English farm hand, it
says, has vocabulary limited to 800 words
