The Chlnene Language.
The Chinese language is derived
from 214 root-words, which expand
into 4,000 or 5,000 words of daily use
and the thirty-odd thousand of the dic-
tionary. It requires 11,000 spaces to
hold a font of Chinese type. The large
cases, or false partitions, are ranged
about the Chinese composing room,
! and divided into spaces for each indi-
1 vidual type, each a word complete in
! itself. A Chinese printer, it is esti-
mated, can arrange 4,000 characters a
day.

and her intolerance of her husband's

when angry she raised it almost to a

Fight Ing Smallpox 111 Cannda.
The hea th authorities of Ontario are
j trying to keep smallpox out of their
! lumber camps, where the disease
, makes terrible ravages once it gets
' a foothold. Already the owners of
! forty-two camps have arranged for
medical attendance and have erected
suitable buildings in which to isolate
the patients in case smallpox appears
in the camps. The disease is scattered
through a large part of Ontario and
the other Canadian provinces and the
->recautions are well considered.
