AnglO.Sax0n.

The time when Latin and Greek
formed the chief essentials of learning
is fast receding into the past, and these
languages are having place assigned
them more consistent with the necessi-
ties Of the modern world, which is not
tolerant of the acquisition of q kind of
knowledge that in great part is archaic
and useless. Under the influence of
this change our own language is rising
into an Importance which it could never
attain so long as it was regarded SIM
ply as vulgar tongue, and the historic
al study of English is becoming one of
the most popular rs well as one of the
most useful pursuits of our philologists.
The great English dictionary of the
Pathological Society is only one evi-
dence of this; for individual scholars,
dnring the last twenty years, have done
not little to lay bare to us the inner
structure of our language, and the
changes and notifications to which it
has been subjected in the course of its
long descent.
Anglo Saxon literature Is the oldest
of the vernacular literatures of modern
Europe. The materials of this early
literature are found chiefly in written
books and documents: :but they are found
also in such subsidiary sources rs in
scriptions on churches and church
towers, sun-dials, crosses, and even on
iewelry One of the most remarkable
in this last category is what is known
as the Alfred Jewel. Itwas discovered
in Newton Park, near Athelney. in 1898,
and in 171S had found its way to the
Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, where
it still is. 1t consists of an enamelled
figure enshrined in golden frame, with
a golden back to it, and with thick piece
of rock-crystal in front, to serve as a
glass to the picture. Around the
sloping rim the following legend is
wrought in the fabric: Elfred mec heht
Gewyrcean (Alfred me command to
make>. The language of the legend
agrees perfectly with the age of King
Alfred, and it seems to be the unhesi-
tating opinion of all those who have
investigated the subject that i was q
personal ornament of the great West
Saxon king.-Harper's Weekly.

How Wild Turkey Should be Served.

This anecdote is told the army and
Nary JourGL by Ca valry officer. AT
his post several English noblemen ar
rived with letters from General Sher-
man and General Sheridan. The locker
was Just then empty. and no cook avail
able but an enlisted man. So s hunting
expedition was sent out, which returned
loaded with game. Among the trophies
of the hunt were several wild turkeys.
One of these turkeys was entrusted to
the enlisted cook, who served it up
withou. cleaning it, The first cnt re-
vealed crop well stuffed with grass
hoppers that spread themselves over
the platter. With an apology to the
chief lord, whom he was about to help,
the post commander and carver in chief
sent the first cut to the lieutenant at the
other end of the table on the plea that
he had Just recollected that it was his
favorite portion. He supplied the plate
literally with grasshoppers, saying at
the same time in his most significant
manner: "Mr. -, of courseyou will
take some of the grasshopper dress
ing?n This the unlucky lieutenant
dare not deny, in face of the look which
accompanied the question. Then carv-
ing for the chief guest what he had in
dicated rs his preference, the captain
asked the same question. swell, ah;
really, ah," said his lordship, .'is grass
hopper dressing usual in this country?"
(but for politeness he would have said
.'blarsted country.'D "Quite SC" was
the ready reply, 1--WE always serve wild
turkey with grasshopper dressing" So
his lordship took his unsavory dose as
meekly as possible, mentally resolving
that he would Immediately organize 3

his trip.-Army and Nary Journal.

The Oceans Wealth.

Seldom or never has the enormous
importance of the harvest of the sea
been more forcibly represented than it
was the other day by Professor Huxley
in the address which he delivered at the
International Fisheries Exhibition. An
acre of good fishing ground. he pointed
out, will yield more food in week than
an acre of the best land will in a year.
Still more vivid was his picture of the
moving '.mountain of cod," 120 to $50
feet in height. which for two months in
the year moves westward and south
ward past the Norwegian coast. Every
square mile of this colossal column of
fish contains 120,000,0O0 fish. consul
ming every week, when on short rations,
no fewer than Si0,0O0.000 herrings.
The whole catch of the Norwegian fish
cries never exceeds in a year more than
half a square mile of this 'cod noun
tain," and one weeks supply of the
herrings needed to keep that area OF
cod from starving. London might be
victualled with herring for year on a
days consumption of the countless
shoals of uncaught cod.-N 7. Herald.
