consumption,” writes R. R. Lips

ordinary person uses from 2,(XX) t<
3,000 words, ft is said that every
person has three vocabularies Th:
largest is the reading vocabula
ry, which is the wordsof which
he knows the meaning ami which
convey ideas to his mind when
seen in print. The second largest
is the writing vocabulary, or the
words he uses in writing. The
smallest is the speaking vocabu

His Conundrum.
“What is the difference,” asked the
num with the erratic eyebrows, “be
tween a i«ll, stout num whose wife
hns purchased for him n pale pink
smoking Jacket willl yellow facings
and a pocket that Is utterly out of con
venient reach at a dry goods store
late in the afternoon of I lie day before
Christmas, after having put off the pur
chase for two weeks because she had
to attend half a dozen bridge parties,
and a large, Jovial Russian nobleman
who has been convinced of the broth
erhood of man and who is devoting
himself to Hie laudable work of con
verting the people on bls estates?”
“How’s that?" asked the man with
the dilatory mustache.
The man with the erratic eyebrows
repented the query, and the other man,
of course, refused to answer, saying
that If he replied to hypothetical ques
tions he must demand an expert’s fee.
“Oh, well,” explained the man with
the erratic eyebrows, “It is simple
enough. One pays for the present and
the other prays for the peasant.”—Chi

A Martyr to the Fox.
A fox can climb almost ns well as a
cat and will often be found lying In
trees nn<l on the top of Ivy covered
walls. High walls covered with Ivy
often surround private residences In
hunting districts. Ono of these do
main walls caused the tragic death of
a hound In the south of Ireland n few
years ago. There was a belt of trees
with thlckish undergrowth close up to
the wall, and the hounds were running
a tired fox hard through this belt.
Suddenly the cry ceased; there were
the unmistakable growling and worry
ing which proclaim a kill. The mas
ter Jumped off b's horse and pushed
bls way through the undergrowth. On
getting to the pack, Instead of finding
a dead fox he saw to bls horror one
of the best hounds torn to pieces. It
was easy to understand what had hap
pened. The fox had got over the wall
by the help of some Ivy, and the hound
had tried to Jump over after him. but,
falling back among the others, had
been killed before they realized their
mistake. London Standard.
