OUR FIRST DICTIONARY.

The first Dictionary published IN
the United States by an American
author was THE School Dictionary:
Being a Compendium of the Latest and
Most Improved Dictionary. The
compiler was Edward O'Brien, of New
Haven. Conn, and the work, which
bore no date, is thought to have been
issued in that town in the latter part
of the year 1898. Only two copies OF
it arc known to be eXtant: one, IN
perfect condition, in the British
Museum. London, and one, lacking ten
pages. in the library of Yale UniVer-
sity, New Haven.
Mr.. OBrien was born in New
Haven on March 10, 1857, and died
there on August 20, 1886. He taught
in the school in Guilford.
Soon after the publication of the
Dictionary MIR. O'Brien and Rev. John
Elliott u75S-1S24, great-great-grand-
son of John Elliott the Indian apos-
tle) prepared the second American
Dictionary, which was copyrighted IN
June. 1899, and published in January,
1900.

MONKEYS ACTUALLY AT WORK.

@y Monkeys actually are made to WORK
in Malabar, India, which is perhaps
the only place in the world where they
earn their salt The Malabar monkey
is of the fine species known as the
langur. 1t is very warm at Malabar,
and there is a fan called the punka,
which used to be kept in motion by a
slave.
It required a slave to work each
punka, but now every punka in Mala-
bar is worked by a monkey. 1t was
an English officer who, conceived the
idea of making the langur work in
that manner. The fan is a movable
frame covered with canvas and sus-
pended from the ceiling. The motion
is caused by pulling a cord. The OIL
Ger tied the hands of langur to one
of the cords. and then by means OF
another cord put the machine in mo-
ton.
Of course, the monkeys hand went
up and down, and the animal won
dered what sort of a game was being
played. Then the officer patted its
head and fed it with candy till soon
the langur thought it fine fun to work
the punka. The experiment was sue
cessfuf, and now thousands of mon
keys are in harness..

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
A FATHERS SPLENDID ADVICE.

General Robert E. Lee once wrote
to his son at school:
You must study to be frank with
the world. Frankness is the child of
honesty and courage. Say just what
you mean to do on every occasion and
take it for granted you mean to do
right. If friend asks a favor you
should grant it if it is reasonable; if
not tell him plainly why you cannot.
You will wrong him and wrong your
self by equivocation of any kind.
Never do a wrong thing to make a
friend OF, keep one; the man who re-
duires you to do so is dearly pur-
chased at such a sacrifice. Deal
kindly, but firmly with all your. class
mates; you will find it the policy that
wears the best. Above all do not ap-
pear to others what you are not. If
you have any fault to find with any
one tell him not others, of what you
complain; there is no more danger
Gus experiment than that of under
taking to be one thing before mans
face and another behind his back.
We should live, act and say nothing
to the injury of anyone. 1t is not
only best as matter of principle, but
it is the pass to peace and honor

THE MOTHER-EN-LAW.

No moment in a woman's life is
oufte so difficult as that in which she
meets her sons future wife for the
first time. Perhaps the moment is
almost as difficult for the tiancee, but
she possesses the glorious self-conh-
dence of youth, she cannot quite
grasp the viewpoint Of the woman
who knows that the marriage OF her
son means her loss. A mother rarely
loses the love and friendship OF
daughter who marries, but when her
s03 weds she irstinctiVely commits
one of two possible great errors
she irritates her daughterin-laW by
meddling in the affairs Of the new
little home, or in her anxiety not to
seem interfering, she stands aloof and
apparently Indifferent.
The force of convention makes it
O2rtfCuIarlv difficult for a woman to
play successfully her role Of mother
in-law. Tradition says that all moth
ers-in-law are disagreeable, officious
creatures.
IL
YOU that ne is engaged to the dear
est little woman in the world make
uD YOUR mind that you will, so far as
il is possible, treat her as an equal
in experience and judgment. PROB
ably she has a mother of her own to
guide and help her if she needs help
and guidance, and if you attempt to
mother her, be it ever so kindly, she
may resent it in the fear that your
maternal attitude is but the prelude
to the conventional mOther-in-law at
titudc. Young Brides are always
making Fascinating plans; one of the
most delightful aspects Of marriage
to many girls is their freedom to do
exactly as they like in their own little
homes.
If you are a mother-in-law, or
about to become one, don't criticize
the home ideals of the woman your
son loves. She'll find out her mis-
takes soon enough. Treat her, as you
would q friend, and your sons bride
will love you and bring you much
happiness. Once you show her that
you mean to be her pal the rest will
be easy. Whatever happens, don't
let yourself be jealous Of her. Re-
member the time when, dearly as you
loved your old home, you left it to
marry a man whom you perhaps had
not known long Your mother was
not jealous of the husband who took
her place in your life.
If you are a wise woman, you will
let your sons wife see that you are
SO sure of your boys love that you
can gladly welcome his bride without
a twinGe Of jealousy. Where there
is perfect love there is no room for
doubt or mistrust.

BEFORE DAYS OF PRINTING.

The differences between script and
print are to be referred to a date long
before the invention of printing We
must not suppose that the ancient
scribes, in writing papers Of but tenn
DOrary value, would labor to follow
the same alphabet that the carver en-
ployed upon the monuments of stone
destined for all time. AS far back as
records have been preserved there was
in existence a cUrsiye style of writing
Instances have been preserved abun-
dainty in Pompeii OF random remarks
by the ordinary citizen scribbling idle
sentiments upon the walls
The alphabet of the monuments was
commonly the model for the writer's of
formal literature, professional penmen
who looked forward to the library
preservation OF the works upon which
they were engaged. Business men
used the cursive script, which was far
more readily and correspondingly
more rapidly written. The monu-
mental and manuscript hand has
served as the parent of the printed
letter; the cursiye hand is the an
cestOr of penmanship.

Il ruined away from Lena" it an
nounced gleefully. 81 bad.
How he and Lucy had laughed as
together they carried the small run
away. upstairs, it had happened in this
very room. But that was twenty years
ago, and now his boy had gone to
France! He looked up at the portrait
over the fireplace and for the first
time he was glad. Men are made of
stener stuff; but Lucy had been such
tender little mother, SO loving and
happy with the boy, that she could
not have stood this parting.
The governor dreamed again, pictur-
ing the boy in his first long trousers,
amusing in the conceit of his youthful
importance, and for the first time look
ing on girls as other than incum-
brances necessary to be borne. And
then the terrible night of the accident
came to him, when Lucy and he, fear
full and trembling, hung over the bed
watching for signs of returning con.
seriousness.
A charred log falling in the CRATE
reused him; the room was cold, and
he felt lonely and old. AS he stopped
to replenish the fire the thought of the
Irishman on the dock came to him. He
had not prayed for long time, but
now he fell on his knees and buried
his face in his hands.

REDUCING THE "oVERHEAD."

When business man refers to his
Overhead" he means the amount he
must spend for lighting and heating,
the salaries of his employees, the cost
of his supplies, the interest OF his fix
lures or equipment, and similar items
which he must Pay to run his bust
ness" One of his chief problems is
how to reduce this overhead" so that
he can save or make more.
Similarly every household has an
overhead" of money that must be
spent for help, coal, laundry, breakage
and repair. In any plan of household
thrift, therefore, the housewife, too,
must see where leaks occur and where
she can cut down her household "oVer-
head"
In the first place, there is the big
point of marketing. These sugges-
tons will help her:
Shop personally, not by telephone,
except of necessity.
Buy staples, especially flour, dry
groceries, potatoes, etc., in quantity
when possible.
Study more about cuts of meat and
food values.
Patronize the cash and carry
stores, and carry your own parcels.
BY following out these five sugges-
tons you will save time, run the mar
keting more smoothly and be saved
the many carfares which too frequent
shopping entails.
Another household item in which a
saving can be effected is the cost of
cleaning. Although she may not re-
alize it, the average housekeeper is
forced to pay large per cent of her
budget for the cleaning of curtains,
furniture, rugs, and to spend consid-
cradle sums for cleansers, powders,
soap, polish, oils, etc.
1t is not necessary to lower high
on this item; it is only necessary to
lay aside, or perhaps modify, some of
the home furnishings. Lace curtains,
for instance, which drape the floor,
cost several dollars to clean or many
hours to wash, starch and pin the
points on a stretcher. A simple scrim
curtain hung only to the sill, however,
will remain clean much longer and
represents no cleansing expense. Sim
ilarly, fancy pillows, portieres and
hangings mean constant expense, to
keep them attractive, whereas there
are simpler furnishings which look
just as well, but do not cost SO much
to keep clean.
Elaborate furniture and bric-a-brac
also mean the services of an extra
maid or worker by the day. Some
homes have as much silver as will re-
quire half days work to polish.
Too many housekeepers spend too
large portion of their time cleaning
and scrubbing and doing up not
necessary articles Of furnishings, but
the fancy doilies, cloths, covers, tides,
bric-a-brac, etc. Now it is possible to
lay away, or at least not purchase,
more Of these superfuous things,
which require extensive service to
keep them in good condition, and still
have our home attractive and pleas

FOR THE SON OF FRANCE.

The hall clock struck eleyen-SloW,
silvery, vibrant tones-and the COVER
nor, reused from his reverie, shifted
uneasily in his chair, then sank back
again to his old position and continued
to gaze into the fire. He had not real
lied that it would be like this-the
oppressive loneliness, the peculiar and
almost fearful stiffness that pervades
house when one loved member is
absent. To speak Of his boy as a sol
der had seemed a fine thing-in fact
a privilege; but now-Why, it could
not be possible that the boy was real
ly gone, and gone with so much he had
wanted to tell him left unsaid! Words
of affectionate advice that he had
manlike, put off until the last mo.
ment, and then had no chance to ut,
ter-the ships whistle had cut that
short. Just Goodbye, dad, old pal!
Don't forget to keep me in smokes y
and he was gone.
With the privilege accorded his of
fee, the governor and his secretary
watch the ship go out-the governor
keeping in view one khaki-clad figure
until it merged into the brown of the
numberless soldiers about it. An old
Irishman, busy with the ropes, had re.
lieved the tension of the parting and
furnished much amusement.
Goodbye, boys, the best of luck to
We ALL" he shouted. Give the kaiser
a. good one for me, the Backyard!
Sure, I'll be right here on this dock to
welcome We back, and I'll be praying
for livery mothers son of ye."
Don't forget me, Pat" called one
'curly-haired youngster, leaning far
over the rail; and me, too-me, too,
Pat" came in a lusty chorus.
The governors lip curled in an
amused smile at this bit of by-play
and the secretary, ever eager to curry
favor, put the big mans thoughts into
words. -644
Why pray?" he remarked flippant,
ly,8 his eyes on the grey troop ship

The night was bad-damp and cold,
with subdued mutterings giving hint
of an approaching storm. The house
was very still-no laughter in the
halls, no. whistling on the stairway,
no slamming of doors until the very
windows ratified. The governor smiled
in spite of himself. His boy would put
those Germans on the run! The storm
increased in violence, and the wind,

FIRE ENGINES OF ALL SORTS.

Il The first fire engine seen in America
was received in Boston in 1879 1t
was made in England, and was of the
type called hand squirts. The in
strument required the labor Of three
men, one on each side to hold the ma
chine steady and to direct the nozzle,
while the third man worked the
plunger. I
This continuance was not much of
an improvement over the "siphons

Hero of Alexandria in his work on
pneumatics, written about $50 1B, G..
At the close of the seventeenth cen

NeWham's improved engine, patented
in England, which consisted of a
strong cistern of oak, mounted on
wheels, and suction pipe of leather.
Steam fire engines had their begin
ming in England in 1880, when Braith-
waite built an engine of six horse
power, weighing 5000 pounds. Though
its performances we're highly spoken
Of, this attempt to apply steam to fire
engines cannot be said to have been
successful, owing to its great weight.

Actions done through caprice, or
simply from inclination, custom, hui
man respect, hypocrisy, ostentation, in
terest, are not only fruitless for
heaven, but often result in burdening
the conscience.
