in and rest herself? Well, the lady
didn't know; she was just passing,
and she thought she would ring and
see how all were getting along but
in she went, and presently grand
mother was admiring baby as it sat
perched. bright and buoyant, upon
the lap of the lady. At this juncture
the baby displayed the most exquisite
diplomacy. 1t boldly held out its
dimpled little arms to its grand
motherand was soon nesting against
her motherly bosom. 1t laughed and
crowed and cuddled, and when any.

found a place in his strong arms and
hid its little face in his coat collar.
The grandfather was captivated. He
tossed and dandled the baby, and
fondled it in a way altogether unusu-
al. Then the lady was asked whose
baoy it was. Her position was EN-.
barrassing. She had no idea OF the
result. but she made bold to tell the
TWO old people that it was their
daughters child. With this the
grandmother fell to weeping and
clasped this wonderful baby to her
breast. and the grandfather walked
nervously around wiping his eyes
and wondering why he was so fool
ishly happy. Nothing would do these
two old people but their daughter
must be sent for, and such another
reunion and revival as was held over
that baby has never before been seen

try. There have been three great
epochs in which all the educated men
talked Greek, Latin and Frech res
spectively. Now we are entering the
epoch of English. The Greek world
was too limited in both area and age.
The Latin world was larger than the
Greek, but its field--politices-was
too narrow. The French epoch was
diplomatic. Now the English. or
rather the. Anglo-American, epoch
will embrace the whole world. The
English speaking nations lead the
world In the higher politics and in
industry and trade, and they are un-
surpassed by any nation in scientific,
religious, or philosophical thought.
Our German friends object to English
on the ground that it is in their opin-
Ion not an original language, being
rather d mixture of German and Lat.

advantage. for English is not quite a
foreign tongue to Germans and to the
nations of Latin origin, and so much
the more easily can be adopted by all
of them. ."-Ne,0 York Sun.
