Not Dead Languages.

Greek, then, and Latin are two
members of that great family of Ian
guages Of which our own and most of
the other languages of Europe are also
members, writes Professor Freeman,
in Macmillan's Magazine. They are
the two which were the earliest to
stand forth in the record Of European
history. They are the two which for
many ages stood side by side without
fellow as the two civilized tongues of
Europe. They are the two which
have had, each in its own way, the
greatest influence over the kindred
tongues which came on the field In
later times No tongue of Europe, no
people speaking any tongue OF Europe
could have been what it is If the
Greek and the Latin tongue had not
been there before them.
One has sometimes heard the claims
those tongues pressed on the ground
that they are dead languages. Their
real claim rests on the ground that
they arc not dead languages but the
most living Of all The tongue of the
Hittites and the Babylonians are dead
languages; they are most proper sub
jects of special study for specialists
whose tastes lead that way; but be-
cause they are dead languages, they
are therefore unfit to be insisted on us
as essential-in the schoolmaster's
phrase 'compulsory"-subjects for
whole university But the tongues of
Hellas and Latium, the tongues which
have affected every stage of European
history from Its first beginnings till
now, the tongues which still abide, In
one shape or another on the lips OF
great part of Europe, are tongues
emphatically living. Each has had
its influence, but the influence of each
has been of a different kind. The in
fuence Of Greek has been for westerns
mainly indirect; it has been an In
fiuence of example and analogy, an
influence working largely by the help
OF Latin. The influence Of Latin has
been direct and universal; it has
touched and modified everything.

the door opened and couple of men
with light entered.

AL and the major untangled them
selves to explain and ask protection of

bloody as they were, each recognized

and AL. The major was the first to

were about TO renew hostilities. when
the man with the lamp interfered.

That cooled them down somewhat,
and muttering vengeance upon each
other, AL paid the twenty-five dollars
and they sneaked away Each was
firmly convinced that the other was in

They took the same train to Phil

thought the affair over he began to
fear tho exposure that he knew Al
would make, and he began to suspect
that AL might be victim as

The (aianf,s Chair.

In Dolgelly In the North of Wales
there is a mountain celebrated in folk
lore poetry and song as Cader Idris,
or Idris' Chair. The hollow, couch
like excavation on the top OF the
mountain has given the peak its name;
according to the Welsh bards the de-
preston was caused by the Giant Idris
long using 1t as chair. There Is O
local tradition In North Wales that
whoever passes the night In the Giants
Chair will be found in the morning
either dead. crazy or endowed with
the highest poetical inspiration.
Idris Is variously represented in
Welsh tradition as prince. magician.
sorcerer and astronomer, the only
thing on which all authorities agree
being his immense stature. The Lake
of the Three Pebbles" which lies at
the foot of the Giants Chair, contains
three large blocks Of stone. which
Idris is said to have once poured out
of his boots. The smallest OF these
stones will weigh ton and half.

A STORY OF LINCOLN.
How Pennsylvania Soldier Had His
Wants Supplied.

Wants Supplied.
In the latter part of 1862 the One
hundred and Fifty-seventh Pennsyl-
vania volunteers were stationed at
Washington, says the Detroit Free
Press, preparatory to moving toward
Richmond. For some unknown rea-
son their salaries had been delayed for
two months, and the boys found them
selves strapped" pretty closely for
money.
Among the members OF company d,
was wild. harum-scarum sort of fell
low, hailing from Lancaster county.
For about week he had been without
an ounce of tobacco. From everybody
he questioned he received the same
answer; Haven't an ounce. Money
all went month ago."
The poor fellow endured the agony
for while, but finally, becoming des-
perate, he got leave of absence from
camp one morning and started off up
G street in the direction of the white
house. Arriving there he stopped for
while looking over the fence into
the grounds surrounding the executive
mansion and presently caught sight OF
the president walking along the path
in front of the house. just then a
bright idea struck him. mastering
up his courage he stalked into the
garden and presently neared the presi-
dent.
Good morning, Mr.. President" he
said. touching his cap.
Good morning my man." replied
"Old Abe" what can l do for youp"
The soldier hesitated for while, but
noticing the presidents kindly look
finally said:
THE fact OF the matter is, Mr.. Pres
ident. we haven't had any money for
two months now. and every one of us
is dead broke; and I'm almost dead
for chew of tobacco"
A smile lit up the face OF the great
war President as he received this In
formation, and then his hand went
down into his pocket. Drawing forth
silver dollar, he handed 1t to the
''broken" volunteer and said:
1T shan't be said that one of my
soldiers died for the want OF some TO-
bacco. need his services too much
for that. Buy some tobacco with this,
and l think by the time it is gone you
will have received all the money that
is due YOU"
With a gratified thank you. Mr..
President" the soldier lifted his car
and passed quickly out of the grounds.
The back salary was paid shortly after
the occurrence.

and all woman's ailments are cured

For all functional irregularities,
periodical pains, organic displace-

positive remedy.
And guaranteed one. If it
doesn't give satisfaction, in every
case, the money paid for it is re-
funded. No other medicine for
women is sold on these terms.
That's because nothing else is

dealer will offer something that's
"better." He means that it's bet
