The Value of Short Words.
Does the man say he can not write a
book or article with little words?
Then he is very wrong. If he knows
how many little words there are in the
speech of this land he would not say
that he can not find those small words.
And it may be said that these small
words have more force than the big
words, because the soul of the tongue,
or it would be more fit to say tbe
speech, is to be found in the short
words more than in the long. In this
all the men who write on words think
as one. ihey feel that the very life of
the thing is shown in the short word.
There is no long word that will take
the place of buzz, bang, rough, smooth
keen, blunt, thin. Each of sour, roar,
splash, acid, scrape, cough, whiz,
these words is like the thing which it
sets forth, and so it is more strong and
helps the brain iu its work. If one
were to try to put a long word ir the
place of the short one iu this sense ho
would have to write more than one
word to reach the same idea. Short
words do not drain the strength of the
mind. They leave it free to work in
other ways. The mind is not able to
cope with the thought and the mode of
6peech at the same time. Hence, when
we try to use our mind on two themes
we find that it loses much of its force.
But the chief beauty of the short word
placed side by side with the long word
is that the short word is known by ev
erybody that can read. The long'word
is not Known, only those who study
can know the long words.
If the man who writes does his full
duty to the people who read, he will
write for the great mans of the people.
The man who writes a book, or who
writes for any kind of work or anv
kind of print, should feel that he teach
es as well as writes. Ho should feel
that he writes to put ideas into the
minds of all. How can the mass of the
people get these ideas in shape so that
iney can leel their full sense if they
can not know them? The idea is not
worth the thought Thev can not do
do it. Again, lonr words are. weak.
Short words are stroiifr. There are
some places where a long word shows
the idea more than tho short one. I
will cite to prove this any place where
one seeks to show a largo thought. In
that case a long word is much more fit
than a short word. To show by the
use of a long and a short word: "Stu
pendous" brings to the mind a more
full idea of the thing shown ihan tho
short word "vast," "ma?,iificent" than
"grand," "dLseustinsr" than "nast.v."
but in most cases it is wiser to use the
short word than the loner. The great
writers of the language a,u those whose
works have the charm of simplicity.

If it were true that the viler a
journal is, the greater are its chances
of securing a large and -profitable cir
culation, there would ba good reason
to despair of the world. Human so
ciety would be utterly rotten, and in
an employments scoundrels would
have the advantage. But there is not
in the world an examDle of a newsnn.-
per which has made a largo and per
manent success by catering to vicious
tastes purely. Tho newspaper of
greatest circulation in the world is the
Petit Journal of Paris, and it is pub
lished in the country which has tho
reputation of being most toleranf of
literary indecency. Yet there is no
paper anywhere which is more careful
to preserve a high and pure moral
lone. The circumstance that such a
journal is demanded by the great body
of the French peoole furnishes con
vincing proof that French society is
sound at the core, despite the talk to

' The Man Who IHsagre?.
There are many men in the world
who emulate the gentlemau who rose
at a meeting and exclaimed. "I don't
cire what the motion if, I'm agin it!"
They are "agin" anything and every
thing. You venture an opinion on
every subject, and with "There is
where I differ with you he crosses
his legs and goes off in a mental ram- j
ble as eratic as the a"Ul oi a
without a t-iil.
A knowledge of the subject under
discussion is not necessary; the less he
knows about it the more he talks, and
as he talks, a thick dark weariness net
tles down over his hearers and their
fingers twiehed nervously as though
longing to grasp the hand-piece of a
club and lull the chronic dissenter to
rest The man who disagrees with I different
you honestly and has solid sense w ith
which to back his arguments against
you, is an educator and you draw wis
dom from him. but the man who
always disagrees for the sake of disa
greeing, and who can always disagree
fluently on either side of a question,
bah! He is worse than tho man who
always agrees with everybody.
The man whose disagreement is
chronic, is generally ignorant, and he
thinks by disagreeing, to impress those
around him with a sense of his wis
dom, and therein he fails, for by that
course is his ignorance the more glar
ingly displayed. His menial status is
bound to be found out. as was that of a
bov whose employer Ind occasion to
leave alone in his office a short time.
"Now," said he, "bit down here and
keep quiet; don't say a word; if you go
to talking, folks will find that you're a
fool." The boss had been gone but a
short time when two gentlemen en
tered, looking around they saw the
boy. "Where is Jlr. Blank?" No re
ply from the bov. Again, "Where is
Mr. Blank?" The boy looked at them
but kept silent. Finally one visitor
turned to the other and exclaimed
"That boy is a fool'." A few seconds
later tho man returned and the boy
exclaimed, rattier puzzled, '-Boss, they
found me out and I did n't say a word."
In this case silence did not work extra
well, but in most cases it would cover
H vist amount of ignorance, if the man
who always disagrees would give it a
fair chance. Texas Siftings.
COLD AND HOT DRINKS.
Trio FormertheOnty Ones Used lr
a State of Nature.
Dr. .arah E. Post discusses th
question of cold drinks in tbe current
number of the Sanitary Era. Cold
w;.ter, she says, apparently stimulates
gastrte secretion. It products a tem
porary contraction of the blood vessels,
kite but this is almost immediately loiiow
I ed bv dictation, which persists for a
considerable time. On the otuer nana,
the application of hot water, while it
produces momentary dictation, is
followed by contraction. These are
familiar facts as applied to the skin,
and Dr. 1'ost thinks there is no reason
to believe that the effect upon the mu
cous membrane of the s:omacb is at all
Hence hot waters may ie
beneficial in cases or catarrh l ino
stomach where the vessels are urinat
urally diiated. and contraction is the
first step toward cure. Hot water,
however, is not harmless, and its use
should be regulated by tho advice of a
physician. Dr. Post thinks that the
indiscreet use of hot drinks may have
some relation to the prevalence of
American nervousness. '
As to cold drinks, they are the only
on used iu the state of nature. Ani
mals in winter drink from a hole in
the ice, and children do not care for
hot drinks i:ntil a t iste for tnem is ac
quired. Ices may b found very s. rv
iceable in ra-es of worry and coiifusiiei
resulting from excess of blood in tho
braiu. In such a ease ice-cream, wa- ;
tor-ice, up ice-water may be taken to '
advantage. Where there is a detlcien. ;
cy of blood iu the brain hot drinks an)
beneficial.

A WONDERFUL
ItClves Birth to Two Limbt and a

The Noise of '1 humler.

considerably increased. The column
of ga thus suddenly heated and ex

noise bursts at onec from the whole
