Murray's Great I tulurtakinc. r The year 1897 was a marked year for the groat dictionary of tbe Phil ological society. Tbe third volume was completed, and Queen Victoria was pleased to sanction the dedication to her majesty of tbe Oxford English Dictionary on tbe sixtieth anniversary of her accession. The formal adoption of the work by tbe great English university was further marked by a “dictionary dinner” in the hall of Queen’s college, at w hich tbe vice chan cellor of the university entertained Dr. Murray, Mr. Bradley and others concerned in the production of the “New English Dictionary on Historical Principles,” now fairly christened the Oxford English Dic tionary. This is the fortieth year since the Phil ological society began Its work upon the dictionary. It is the twentieth save one since Dr. Murray took it in band. The dictionary is now printed as far In the alphabet as the groat German historical dictionary was printed at tbe death of tbe last tit the Grimms, and it has treated 100,000 words. A generation of workers prepared materials. Tbe loaders of a sec ond are growing venerable In the middle of their work. When the literary workers are named there are always some Ameri cans mentioned with thanks. In the early period G. P. Marsh and B. Grant White; in the later the Bev. J. Pierson bad long since sent in 86,000 quotations, Professor Phillips of West Chester 10,000, while Fltz •dward Hall ranks with Mr. Furnival in tireless all round help from first to last. The dictionary is pronounced “the greatest effort probably which any uni versity, it may be any printing press, has taken In hand since the invention of print ing, a labor beyond the scope of private enterprise. It will not be the least of the glories of the University of Oxford to have completed this gigantic task.” Volume 8 consists of words In D and E, 720 pages in D, 488 in E. The whole number of words in D is 19,051, against 2,684 in Johnson’s Dictionary, 10,705 in the Century and 11,181 in the Standard. The number of illustrative quotations is 85,446. More than 2,000,000 slips of them had been prepared when Dr. Murray be i gan his work. He announced in volume 1 that In tbe next three years 1,000,000 more were furnished. The preface to volume 8 mentions many new names of readers, Al bert Matthews of Boston heading the list with 28,000 quotations, and Halkett Lord of Scotch Plains, N. J., following after with 4,000. Some of these words In D use up heaps of the quotations. Do, for example, is the roost formidable word In the language, as Dr. Murray says. The article upon it rep resents “the distilled essence of 12,000 quo tations.” They are classified and analyzed and finally arranged under 134 subdivi sions of sense, idiom and construction, and fill 16 columns of the great pages of the dictionary. There Is, besides, a full discussion of the original of the verb in the Indo-European parent speech, and a deduction of the forms in our sister speeches and in tbe earliest Anglo-Saxon. —lndependent. His Royal Driver. A few days ago, says one of the south German papers, a soldier was returning to the barracks of Ludwigsburg (Wurttem berg) from an excursion to the suburbs. It was near the time for evening drill, and he was in fear of being late. Suddenly a small vehicle, driven by a man in civil ian ’s clothes, appeared. “May I not take the vacant scat at your side, sir?” asked the soldier. “I am late for drill.” “I’ll be glad of your company,” camo the reply. The trooper took the seat. A few min utes later, looking at his watch, he grew pale. “Pardon me,” ho went on, "but might I ask you to drive faster? I have great fear of my captain, who is a strict disci plinarian. If lam a minute late, he will put me in the guardhouse.” “To what barracks do you belong?” “The K barracks.” “Yery well. We shall arrive In time. ” The driver whipped up his team and In a short time drew up before the gate of the barracks. “Thank you, sir,” said the soldier in descending. While the son of Mars was still bowing his acknowledgments the officer on duty at the armory had ordered the guard to present arms. The driver of the vehicle was the king of Wurttemberg. New Title For Reed. It not Infrequently happens that mem bers become confused in addressing the presiding officer of the house. In tbe heat of debate it is sometimes “ Mr. Chairman’ 1 and sometimes “Mr. Speaker.” The vote to go in the committee of the whole house, the presiding officer of which is chairman, also tends sometimes to confuse those who participate in the proceedings. There was a laugh on General Walker of Virginia for a slip of this kind, although he ad dressed Mr. Heed neither as Mr. Speaker nor as “ Mr. Chairman. ” Tbe general is a lawyer by profession and has been a prominent figure in the courts of the Old Dominion, so when be and Representative Mlers of Indiana were having a heated ar gument concerning their agreement on the time for presenting a minority report on the Tborps-Epes contested election case it can be readily understood why the general happened to break in on the Hoosier with an impassioned wave of his hand toward the speaker, following this with, “If your honor please”— Mr. Beed smiled. The general corrected himself and proceeded with a statement of his side of the case.—Washington Post. Jerusalem's Water. The scheme to bring pure water Into Jerusalem has been abandoned. “As all visitors know, ’ ’ says The J ewish Chronicle, "the inhabitants of that city, of every creed and nationality and particularly the poorer residents, suffer untold hardships In consequence of the scarcity of drinking water. At the present time they depend principally upon the supply collected in elsterns from the rains which fall during the rainy season from December to March. Some of the water flows, in the first place, through the streets of Jerusa lem, before reaching the tanks, which are above the houses. Thence it trickles down Into underground cisterns, where it stag nates and breeds all sorts of insects and Impurities. And this is what the major ity of the people have to drink 1 Even if filtered and boiled, it would scarcely be safe to Imbibe such stuff. And by tbe end of June even this supply is often exhaust ed.” An Odd Coincidence. The calendar for the present year exact ly reproduces that of 1887. Each year com menced on a Saturday, has a 28 day Feb ruary and in both years Easter falls on April 10.
