How to Learn q Language.

The Volapuk craze seems to have run
it's course and died, and everybody has
made up his mind that we have not yet
got the world language. If people only
knew how easy it is to learn French or
German Or Italian there would be less Of
these foolish attempts to force an IN
known tongue upon the world. To get
along as we'll as there is any necessity in
a foreign country you do not need moro
than 1000 or 1900 words. Think
how easy it is to get these words in
your memory. That means less than
the number of words in an average
newspaper column, and it is really the
fact that you can get enough Of French,
say, to get along with as easily as you
can memorize a column in the daily
newspaper. 1t is so with German and
with Italian. You get the grammatical
construction and then all you have to do
is to make yourself vocabulary.
The trouble is that people imagine
learning strange tongue is SO hard that
they will not attempt it in a common
sense way, but they shrink from the DIFF
fculties which only exist in their own
imaginations. Cardinal Mczzofauti
could take grammar and a dictionary
of strange language and hear confess
sion from it in three days. hold that
the average man can do partly as well
as that, anyhow, if he applies himself in
the right way. There is no reason why
every educated man should not lie equip
ped with at least three modern Ian
guages, and six months of his spare time
of the hours wasted on novels and
trihes-would do the work.-C. II. De
Ligne in Chicago News.

Gladstone Fifty Years Age.

The following is description of Glad
stone, published in a London paper Of
1888, the date of his marriage: "Air.
Gladstone's appearance and manners are
much in his favor. He is fine looking
man. He is about the usual height and
of good figure. His countenance is mild
and pleasant, and he has highly intel
lectual expression. His eyes are clear
and quick; his eyebrows are dark and
rather prominent. There is no dandy in
the house but envies what Trufit would
call his fine head of jet black hair. 1t
is always carefully parted from his crown
downward to his brow, where it is care
fully shaded. His features are small
and regular, and his complexion must be
a very unworthy witness if he docs not
possess abundant good health. New

informed that if they did not come to
their senses they would be logged with
rods by the troops. The fear of this
punishment had the desired effect. With
other epidemics of the same general
character, however, all remedies failed.
Of these was the SO called dancing
mania, when tens of thousands of people
went leaping, dancing and singing
through the streets in procession, aban-
doning business, domestic duties, every
thing, to indulge in this singular eccen-
tricity.
The history of the Flagellants, who
walked in procession, each rank tlogging
the one in front and being flogged by the
ono behind, is of the same order. This
epidemic spread until it had covered all
Germany and Italy and had invaded
France. Both the dancing and the
Flagellant manias affected children as
we'll as grown people. Numbers of the
victims persisted miserably, for process
sions We're arranged to traverse the coun-
try, and this they did, wandering about
without any commissariat, trusting to
charity, until the nuisance grew so form
liable that cities closed their gates
against the pilgrims and drove them into
the waste, where thousands died of ex-
posure and privation.
Hecker, the historian of the epidemics
of the middle ages, had curious theory
to account for them. They occurred in
the period of the Black Death, when
pestilence stalked over Europe and swept
away millions. Hecker held that the
plague was caused by certain changes in
the earth's magnetism, and to support
this he cited many reports of strange at
mospheric phenomena, foul odors arising
from the ocean and saturating whole
continents, and other indications of all
normality in the telluric conditions.
Hecker's hypothesis has not been ac-
copied by modern science, but his facts
are trustworthy. The extensive cpl
denies of nervous mimicry which he
chronicles have certainly not been paral-
leled since the middle ages, and perhaps
we should look for the explanation of
this to the magnitude of the advance in
the standards of living and in the aver
age of health. The most striking recent
instance of nervous mimicry is the case
of the Convulsionnaires of st. Madard,
many of whom were unquestionably
cataleptics. With the spread of educa-
ton and a better regimen of. diet the
tendency to nervous epidemics has plainly
diminished. 1t is, however, by no means
outgrowing, as the Wilkesbarre episode,
cited at the beginning Of this article,
shows, and as was proved by the occur
renee of q similar outbreak among the
girls in Brooklyn factory not long ago.
Today these strange affections are recog-
nized as neurotic, but the precise mode
of their dissemination is still an unsolved
problem.-New York Tribune.

IonSest Piece of Ordnance.

A correspondent of The Army and
Navy Journal asks: "What is the longest
piece of ordnance that has ever been sue
cessfully fired?" and receives the follow
ing answer: eff you include in the term
ordnance everything that carries pro-
iectile, we should answer fourteen miles.
This is the straight tube conveying
natural gas from Murrayville to Pitts
burg. To clear this tube out, a projectile
known as the gum BALI was inserted in
the end at the gas well, closely fitting the
interior. The gas was then turned on
full force and the gum ball fired through
its full length, coming out at the further
end in few minutes. "-Scientifc Amer

CURIOUS NERVOUS DISORDERS.
An Interesting Glass Of Affections-Strange
CONTAGIOUS Manias.

Contagious Mantas.
A curious incident is reported from
Wilkesbarre, Pa. One of the young
women employed in silk mill at that
place was seized with an epileptic fit.
The other girls crowded round her,
alarmed and excited. ''Suddenly," says
the account, tone of them gave wild
shrek and fell over in violent Mysteries.
The excitement increased, and in a
minute or so another young woman was
seized with hysteria. The girls were
now almost wild with nervous excite
ment, and one after another were seized
with hysteric commissions" Eighteen of
them were affected in this strange way,
and they all had to be sent home after
medical aid had been summoned. The
case belongs to by no means uncom-
mon but very interesting class of nervous
affections. Neuro mimesis, or nervous
mimicry, has been at the base of great
number of puzzling outbreaks, many of
which were at the time of their occur
renee attributed to supernatural causes.
In the Fifteenth century a nun in a
German convent suddenly began to NEW
like a cat. In short time the infection
had spread until all the other nuns were
mewing in rivalry with her. The new
ing epidemic was carried to other con-
vents, and for time the religious au-
thorities were in CONSERVATION. In the
same century a strange biting mania de-
veloped in a convent, and soon all the
nuns were biting one another and all
who approached them. This outbreak
was cured by terrorism. A regiment of
soldiers was drawn up in the court of
the convent and the biting nuns were

THE METROPOLITAN BANK.
President Means Arrested for Mis-.
appropriation OF Funds.

Cry TNNATI, Feb. 7-Wm. Means,
President of the Metropolitan National
Bank, has been arrested for violating the
national banking law. The warrant was
issued this morning, but was not served
in the usual manner, out of regard for
Means. District Attorney Burnett notified
him after twelve o'clock of the issuance
of writ and arranged for Means to go
voluntarily with his bondsmen to the
commissioner Office at two O clock His
arrest caused a decided sensation. Means
has had a leading position among bust
ness men for number of years and has
been reputed to be quite wealthy He
served term as mayor. He was elected,
not by party vote, but by a combination,
whose support was compliment to their
candidate. To have man of such
prominence put in peril of Imprisonment
causes profound feeling. At this time it
is not thought other arrests will be made,
but of this no one can speak with GER
tainty, because there has not been time
for thorough examination of the bank
affairs President Means appeared this
afternoon at the office of the United
States Commissioner and gave bond for
his appearance In the SUN of twenty
thousand dollars The charge against
him in the warrant is misapplication of
upwards of two hundred thousand dollars
of the funds of the bank.
