When some ingenious people devoted
their energies a few years back to the
task Of manufacturing a brand new uni
versal language, impartial observers
were prompted to offer the obvious criti-
cism that il would be more sensible to
let the question settle itself. The vota-
ries Of Volapuk were not, however. TO
be dissauded from their enterprise. But
after awhile internal dissensions have
arisen amid the disciples OF the new lin
guistic cult.
AT the same time a striking and
wholly unexpected testimony to the
claims Of English to the premiership Of
languages mas been paid by an old
French Canadian priest, Father Chini-
guy. His grounds for supposing that
English must prevail in the long run
are based on his practical experience in
Canada-wLere, according to his ac-
count, French is everywhere disappear.
ing-and above all on the genius Of the
language itself "Your expression" he
said to an interviewer, sis more direct,
your syntax is more simple and the
sounds of your language more forcible. Z"
Father Chiniquy exempliied his mean
ing by contrasting the expression "Fire"
'Ready" and |'All aboard" with "Feul"
'Pret" and "Embarquez." Such pho
netic considerations are undoubtedly of

tons that, in order to lead a moral life.
it is necessary to observe a certain Sc
quence In good actions; that if a man is
serious in his aspiration to lead good
life the practical manifestations of that
desire will necessarily unfold themselves
in certain order, and that in this order
the abstemiousness (self mastery is the
first virtue which he will have to cult
vate. In the pursuit of the virtue of alb
stemiousness he must again observe a
certain definite order, and the first step
therein will be abstemiousness in food
fasting.
In the practice of fasting the first
thing from which he must abstain. if he
really and truly aims at leading a good
moral life, is animal food, and this for
the Ineligible reason that, not to speak
OF the passions it engenders and fosters,
theconsumption of animal food is plainly
immoral, because it demands an act
which does violence to our moral senti-
ments-yiz.. mnrder-and is encouraged
and kept up only by mems greed of gold
and their appetite for savory food. The
reason why the first step in fasting and
In right living is abstinence from animal
food has been admirably formulated,
not by one man only, but by all man
kind in the persons Of its most accredited
representatives during the course of hui
man history.
But why, one may ask, if the illegality
II. g, immorality-ofc consuming animal
food has been recognized by mankind
for such long period, have people never
theless persisted down to the present in
ignoring this law? This question natu-
rally suggests itself to those who are
prone to be guided less by the light of
their own reason than by public opinion. |
The answer to the question, however, is |
that all moral progress (and moral prog |
ress is the essence of all progress what
ever) is work Of time, is accomplished |
slowly, but that the sign of genuine
as distinguished from casual
advance, is its uninterrupted continuous
ness and its ever increasing rapidity.
The vegetarian movement ought to fill |
with gladness the souls of those who !
have at heart the realization of Gods
kingdom upon earth, not because vege-
tarianism itself is such an important
step toward the realization of this king
dom (all real steps are equally important
Or unimportant), but because it serves
as a criterion by which we know that
the pursuit of moral perfection on the
part of man is genuine and sincere, in
asmuch as it has taken that form which
{ must necessarily assume, and has truly
begun at the very beginning.
1t is impossible not to rejoice at this,
Just as it would be impossible for people
lot to feel glad who, after having vainly
'ndeavored to reach the top of the house
~ attempting to climb up the walls
rom various sides, at last meet at the
'ottom step of the staircase, and crowd
ng together there feel that there is no
way Of reaching the top except by as
ending that staircase and beginning
With this first and lowest step.-Count ,

Some Old Newspapers.

The first Dutch newspaper, which is
still continued under the name of the
HARLEM Courant, is dated Jan. s, 1856.
1t was then called De Weecketycke
Courante van Europa and contained two
folio pages of news. The first Russian
newspaper was published in 1903. Peter
the Great not only took part personally
in its editorial composition, but in COR
recting proofs, as appears from sheets
still in existence, in which are marks
and alterations in his own hand. There
are two complete copies of the first
years edition of this paper in the i'm
perial library of st. Petersburg. The
first newspaper established in North
America was the Boston News-Letter,
commenced April "a, 1904. 1t was half
q sheet of paper, s by 10 inches, and
having two columns ON page. II sur
vived for seventy-two years and advo-
Gated the policy of the British govern
ment at the outbreak of the Revolution.
None of these newspapers ever said
anything about baseball, but they make
very interesting reading these days
nevertheless, and if you ever come across
any of them in your cellar, or under
your parlor carpet, or indeed anywhere,
yon will be a very wise person if you
take the best possible care of your find,
for single copy of any one of these pa
pers is worth quite hundred times the
price of copy of today's paper, or to-
morrow's either, for that matter.-Har-

FLIES AND HUMAN BEINGS.
War to the Death Has Been waged for
Centuries

War to the Death Has Been waged for
Centuries
It is not generally known, except by
those familiar with the literature of the
Fourteenth century, that the month OF
August is dedicated to Beelzebub, the
Interpretation of his name being Father
of Flies. Flies appear earlier in the
season, but it is in August that they
take possession, says writer in the
New York Evening Sun. Bacon quotes
King James as saying, "Haye l not
three kingdoms for you to expatiate in,
and you must needs fly in my eyer" SO
1t seems flies occupy the earth. There
Is but one known spot where flies are
not found. That is Mount Carina, in
Gambia, where honey is produced so
abhorrent to flies that they avoid the
place. The estimate of Spencer's mag
nation has been measured by his apos-
trophe to the silver winged possessors
Of the empire of the air. Flies, in fact,
have no sense. There is scarcely an
insect that has not at times been trained
or shown intelligence. There is no such
record of the fly.
The peculiarities of his structure, his
machinery OF locomotion, his uncon-
seriousness of the laws of gravity have
been Of interest both TO scientists and
poets. Theodore Tilton's well known
ode 10 the fy has been set to music, and
is on countless lips in kindergartens and
nurseries. OF this nothing is owing to
the fly himself.
The enmity between man and flies is
historic, but the warfare continued
through long ages is feeble, though I'M
remitting. The Cape Colonists, it is re-
lated by James Payn, dip long wisps of
straw in milk and hang them up. When
the flies have settled down on them they
draw a sack over the wisps. They often
bag in this manner as much as bushel
Of flies IN day. The fashion of poison
ing flies with Aypaper has gone out, the
paper being too easily dissolved into a
summer drink for ones enemies.
The flies, moreover, had an uncomfor- |
table habit Of leaving their corpses on
the dishes and tablecloth. Farmers
wives pleasantly lure the fly into glass !
cisterns Of sweetened waters, where it |
can die like a rose in aromatic pain. The !
latest method Of fly catching is by mears
of pitch coated papers. Lured by the
resinous odor the fly lights. Sheets of
this paper, looking like huckleberry
tarts, are shown in druggists windows.
But while the fly sticks to the paper the
paper sticks 70 everything else, and IN
suspecting members Of the family are
likely to serve as a walking morgue for
flies.

It's medicine for you-tired, run

and women; for you sufferers from dis

its chance is with every one, its season

fountain of life-the blood--upon which
all such diseases depend. The medi-

Discovery. The makers of it have
enough confidence in it to sell it on
trial. That is, you can get it from your

claimed to do, you can get your money
back, every cent of it. That's what
makers call "taking the risk of their

| A WORD TO MOTHERS, AND WE CLOSE THIS
LECTURE.
Your sons are liable to become
drunkards while q licensed saloon for
regular drinking remains on American
soil, and your daughters are equally
! liable to become the victims of the
drunken sons of other mothers. Would
you save your sons from the blight
and doom of the drunkard, and your
daughters from the curse and woes OF
the drunkard's wife !? IL so, enlist,
and put them to work in organizations
that will throw around them the strong
est safeguards that human agency af-
fords. Train them to hate the saloon,
to work against the saloon, and to vote
against the saloon, and so instill into
them all of the antagonism to it that
political party utilization can engender.
In doing that you instill into them
correct ideas of the Fatherhood of God
and the brotherhood of man in govern
ment, and make them better practical
Christians as we'll as better citizens.
You bring their religion and politics
in harmony so that the one may
strengthen the other; and as these are
the two most powerful agents in mould
ing the character and shaping the des-
tiny of the young, you almost insure
in them the development of the very
highest type of Christian manhood
and womanhood. In fact, the equal
of the Prohibition party as temper
ance society, outside of it's direct war
on the sin of legalizing the traffic, has
never before been dreamed of.

The agricultural States of the South,
the West and the Northwest must come
together and stand together. know
there are men in the South some
through the force of association, some
through patriotic motives, and some
through lust for spoils who would
still crouch at the feet of Wall street.
With me this Is the alternative pre-
sented. Should the South continue
to lie supinely in the octopus arms of
great autocratic money power, with its
fentacles fastened in her very yitals,
until Il sucks the last drop of her life
blood; or should she accept the out
stretched, fraternal hand Of the great
Northwest, whose interests are her in
terests. and making common cause,
wrest the government from the hands
Of plutocrafic power and place it in the
hands Of the people T. L. Polk.
