Then be went back to . the palace and, atter brushing biruselt carefully, went to bid his grandmother good by. On reaching Marlborough House a short time later, hie discovered that he hind lost the sovereign; but he knew that, if he told anyone of his loss, be should. have to tell how he had been amusing himself. l -Ie decided to say nothing about it. A week later his grandmother went to Marlborough House, and King George was sent down from the nurse- ry to see her. "And what did you buy with the sovereign. I gave you, Georgie?" she asked. "Nothing, grandma," the prince re- plied with a sinking heart. "You are keeping It teen, I hope, 1}ntil you find a really useful way of Mending it. " Limited Range of Your Wards. Now many ililTerent words do you use in your daily conversation? Be- tween 1,000 end 2,000, but it is dif- ficult to arrive at an ;accurate esti- mate. In country districts from 500 to 70D words are enough for the ordin- ary needs of conversation, white habi- tual readers of newspapers and good books collect a vocabulary or from 2,000 to 3,000 words. Trades and professions may greatly increase the vocabulary a the per- sons engaged in. them. Thus, some 4,000 words have been added to the dietionary to describe electricity and its Iciudred occupations. Artists and doctors use technical and scientific' terms that increase the number of the wards tliey use by 500 or 1,000. Authors often use 5,000 wards or More. There are only 6,000 different words in the Old Testament. The poet Mil- ton used only 8,000, and Shakespeare in all his works employs between 15,- 000 and 16,000 cihfferent words. What They Called Him. A little girl was sitting on the doorstep nursing her infant sister, when a lady passing by stopped to speak to the child. "How is baby to -day?" she asked.

Are horses peculiarly gentle with babies? It seems a fair question. Cer- tainly the horses in this acaountewhich a contributor sends us, were almost humanly solicitous,,of the welfare of the two.young ohildren who came into contact with them. Our neighbor, says our contributor, had a field one corner of which Came up to his dooryard. One day while he was ploughing he stopped when he reached the corner and, leaving the horses standing in the furrow, went to the pump for a drink. .As soon as he returned he took up the plow handles and spoke to the horses. They did not move. He spoke again, sharply. Still they did not move. Astonished and vexed, he struck them with the whip, Still they stood immovable; and then he realized that something must be wrong. He went to their heads, and there in the furrow in front of them he saw his toddling baby bay! The two-year-old daughter of a friend of mine had an experience a good deal more astonishing than that of the baby boy's, The little girl man- aged to stray away from in front of the house where she hadbeen playing.

It has been estimated that the loss suffered yearly through the decay of wooden surfaces is rar rn excess of the annual fire loss. The best ex- amples xamples of the value of Paint as a pre- servative are the many farm buildings' still existing throughout . the country' which are over a century old and are still in splendid condition. It is ' actually true that wood will last in-' definitely if kept well painted. Paint saves by protecting and at the same time it fosters self respect, through improving the appearance of our property. • Farmers who doubt the value ot Paint may gain enlighten- ment from the fact that bankers will loan from 10 to 50% more on land where farm buildings are well painted and kept in good condition than on land where they are not. The bankers' action is based ..not m_ely on the simple idea that the farmer's house and barns are likely to last longer through the use of a protective coating but upon the truth that the man who uses. Paint and Varnisih gives clear evidence that he is wise and thrifty and, therefore, a good risk. Business Methods.
