The words are ar- ranged according to the alphabet. The definitions are given wusuall in the historical order. That is, the oldest meaning is fixes first and then the later ones. The Standard Dictionary reverses this order and gives for con- venience the latest meaning first. So if you are using any dictionary other than the Standard, remember that the meaning given last is the correct one, while in the Standagd, the mean- ing given first is correct. fhe dictionary also tells us if the word begins with a capital letter, if| it has a hyphen, how, to pronounce it, how many syllables it has, what they are, what its history or etymology is, and what are its synonyms or other words with the same meaning. In it, too, are found the explanation of the noted ters of fiction, legend, and mythology, such as Rip Van Winkle, the Argonauts, and Achilles. In the front of the dictionary, is a history of the English language with rules for spelling. In the back is a gazeteer, Pris is a list of geographi cal places. Tt tells us where the place is, how large it is, and how the name should be pronounced. In the back, too, is the biographical dictionary which contains the names of thousands of famous persons, a slight descrip. tion of each, and the dates of birth and death, - If the date of the death is missing, it means that the person is still living. There is also a section in the back called Pictorial Illustration which * contains pictures illustrating certain subjects such as architecture, war, mechanical devices, and many others, Spend your next idle hour with the dictionary. You will be surprised to find how interesting it is. (Next week: few To Study That History Lesson.) co 3 ris' Newspa rice Bs 1819, by J.

I went out tobogganing last Tues- day night after school, and bad a glorious time. There were a number of girls in the party, and we took turns at pulling along the teboggan, while the others stood upon-it. It was snowing hard, but we stayed out for one hour, again some other night if the snow continues. We are glad to see t snow again, but we will like it better when the ice comes and we can go skating.--Mary T. Somerville, ee. got sn, Tom Sawyer, The most interesting part, to me, of the story of Tom Sawyer, is the part where Injun Joe died. Tom Saw- yer and a number of other boys and' girls had gone to Becky Thatcher's party, and while playing 'Tom and Becky got lost in a cave. They were in there for about four days, and were ravenously hungry when they seen Injun Joe r did not mention this, because afraid the treasure would be d Meanwhile Mr. Thatcher had put a big door on the mouth of the cave, 80 that no one else could go in and get lost. When he told this to Tom. the latter gage a great gasp. Mr. Thatcher 'asked: him what was the matter, and Tom told him of seeing Injun Joe in the cave. A crowd of men went up and opened the door, and there, on the floor, lay Injun Joe, Beside Mm was his knife, with which he had been hacking at the door, and all arotind were the bones of bats, They buried him at the mouth: of the cave, and there were more men, women aiid children at the funeral than if he had been the great man of the village.--Harry Mc uire, ---------- Tommy's Army, I've got two hundred soldier boys, And don't they look Just fine; I only pretend they are marching boys, Far they are made of lead, En And they're dressed in' blue and red, They are real big soldier men, There are fifty clean white tents. And a half & dozen forts, And twenty bright brass cannon, And all of different sorts, And they march, march, starch, My Sturdy soldier men. I'd like to be a soldier boy, And wear the red and blue. HOMAGE TO WRITERS WHO FELL IN WAR Prizemen at the French Aca- demy Include Some Who Were Killed. =f Paris, to writers who fell on the hatiefsia during the war at the annual publ meeting yesterday of the French Academy. Frederic Masson, perpet- "al secretary of the Acadely, read the list of prizéemen for th year, which included many who had fought and 8 of whom were killed in the war, Eugene Brieux, the dramatist, oading his report on the "Prize Ver 'ue}' eulogized those who died for France, declaring "the great laur- Nov. 29 -- Homage was paid | sate this year is the pollu of the "arné, Champaigne and Verdun." sometimes comes in the school room and goes around looking for his owner. The teacher lets him stay around, because she thinks he is too nice a dog to send away. One day, Jock went upstairs and knocked, or rather rattled at the door. It sounded so. human that one of the pupils opened the door and We are going ony swovk strolled in. Another time Jook went up the fire escape, trying to get in at the windows. The first time he tried it he was very much frightened when he looked down and saw 'the ground 80 far beneath him. He began to howl, for he wondered how he was going to get down again. One day at recess Jock came into the room look- ing for his master. He went up one aisle and down another till he found him, One day he got up on the seat and sat there as if he knew all the teacher was saying.~Ross An- gus, senior fourth, Senior Third Class News, We have a large class and a pleas- t school-room. We ought to work rd, but sometimes we do not. We have a nice Victrola, which #8 usual- ly played on Friday: afternoon, if we work well. If we do not have music we have some other amusement of some kind, and so the afternoon. is made a pleasant one. On November 21st we organized a club, known as the Honor Club, which meets every Friday afternoon, We have regular officers and a committee. This was organized to have the class properly managed. We are pleased to know that one of our boys, Cleon Woodside, who has been ill in hospital, is recover- ing. We expect he will soon be hack to school. We also have five "'sharp- eyes', which help to look after the school and keep it as it ought to be. 'We hope, that with all these aids, our school will soon be one of the best.--Carmel Murphy, barents was born in - Lorraine on January 6th, 1413, When she wag thirteen years old, she thought she heard voices biddin her to be dilj- She rode in front of the French army on a white horse, From May 4th to May 8th, 1429, she gained victories at Orleans, Af- HE CROWNETH THE YEAR.
