There* have been placed upon the market
several cheap reprints of an obsolete edition
of “ Webster’s Dictionary.” They are being
ottered under various names at a low price
dry goods dealers, grocers, agents, etc., and
in a rew inst ances as a premium for subscrip
tions to papers.
Announcements of these comparatively
Worthless
reprints are very misleading' for instance,
♦hey are advertised to be the substantial
equivalent of a higher-priced book, when in
reality, so far as wo know and believe, they

print, and binding to these imitat ions, being
then a work of some merit instead of one
Long Since Obsolete.
The supplement of 10,000 so-called “new
words,” which some of .hose books are adver
tised to contain, was compiled by a gentle
man who died over forty years ago, and was
published before his death. Other minor
additions are probably of more or less value.

Badly Out of Tune.
Piano tuners have their trials along
with the rest of humanity, and the
experience of a Philadelphia tuner,
the other day, goes to prove it. He
was sent into a suburb to tune a piano,
which he found practically as good
as new. He put the Instrument In
proper shape, and felt well satisfied
with his work until a day or two
later he received a note from the
owner, saying the piano had not been
properly turned. Thereupon he made
another journey, tested every note,
and found no fault. He told the lady
so. "Yes,” she said, “it does seem
all right when you play on it, doesn’t
it? But as soon as 1 begin to sing
it gets all out of tune again.”
Stone Sllngers of the Nile.
When the wheat is growing in the
fields near the banks of the Nile,
Egypt, great quantities of birds of
every kind pounce down upon the
tender grain and would soon destroy
the whole crop were it not for the
watchful “stone sllngers.” These are
men who stand all day perched on lit
tle platforms here and there through
out the fields with slings and peb
bles, shooting any bird that comes
within reach. The work of a stone
slinger is a regular profession in
Egypt, though a poorly paid one, it
being thought that simply standing
all day is not very hard labor. It is
only for a -few weeks twice a year
that the stone slinger can find em
ployment.
Says Women Should Study Alone.
Prof. Ludwig Stleda, probably the
most famous anatomist in Germany,
recently published a powerful protest
against the movement among the pro
fessors of medical faculties in Ger
man universities for permitting wom
en to attend medical lectures in the
same classroom with men. He ex
presses the opinion that the presence
of women must have an injurious ef
fect both on the professors and on the
women themaelves. Prof. Stleda will
not exclude women from medical '
study, but it is absolutely necessary,
he says that they be instructed in
anatomy in separate classrooms.

Gen. O’Connor, who seems to be

During the second siege of Paris,
brought about by the commune, he
was aide-de-camp to Gen. De Galliffet,
who was the first minister of war
under the recent Waldeck-Rousseau
administration. He has also cam
paigned in Tunis and commanded the
