All in the Bringing Up.

Eyes, darter," piped the feeble voice
of an old woman, in answer to hel
dutiful daughters address, and she
pushed her way feebly through the
crowded shop, keeping the girl in
sight.
But the crowds, the elevator, and
the cash runners were too much fo1

an hour, and when the girl came got
up cheerfully and went out with her.

clerks.
"Yes," answered another, "if you

THE public hears very little about
yolapuk, the so-called universal Ian
guage, nowadays, but, according to a
recent account by writer who has
kept its progress in view, over 200
societies for its extension are in eX-
istence, 900 persons are engaged in
teaching it, its grammar has been
published in tWcnty-One languages,
and the last edition of the dictionary
contains over 20, 900 words. Two or
more reviews are published in it, and
it is claimed to have several hundred
thousand adherentS. Notwithstand
ing this, it is in the highest degree
improbable that volapuk, or, as it is
now briefly called, "vp," will ever
come into general use as an inter-
national tongue The writer who
gives the facts relating toits progress
comedies this. and makes the sensible
and practical suggestion that English
be adopted as Il common language and
studied in all foreign countries, not
with view of substituting it for the
native speech, but as a means OF
communication with other peoples.
French was once the court language
in European countries, and was per-
haps in more general use for business
purposes in civilized nations than any
other, but English is now the most
widely diffused by far, and is said by
linguists to be much more easily
learned than either German or French.
though this is contrary to the popu-
lar impression. Probably English
will, in the natural course of events,
become the accepted international
language, but that desirable end
might be fastened by systematic ef-
fort and agitation of tho subject.

Without a Pedestal.
A bronze statue of William Henry
Harrison, ninth President of the
United States and grandfather to the
present occupant of the White House,
was recently received at Cincinnati.
When it arrived the statue was
placed upon a wooden pedestal in the
armory of the First Regiment, for
there was no pedestal prepared upon
which to place 1t in one Of the public
parks of the city, and in the armory
it will probably remain until the
Legislature Of Ohio appropriates
money sufficient for the purpose.
The statue represents "Tippecanoe"
dressed in the garb of an officer of
the United States army Of 1912.

why Brick-laden Vessels Founder.

Cargoes of brick have to be slowed

Philadelphia Record, or else the YES
sells carrying them will founder in the
mildest weather, owing to the strong
tendency of the brick to absorb the
water caused by the leakage which
necessarily occurs on all wooden yes
sells The brick will absorb the water
as fast as it runs in from an ordinary
leak, and the increased weight Of the
brick causes the vessel to settle until
she makes the final plunge; and the

Protection Triumphs.

Republcanism has won the opening
battle of the Presidential campaign OF
1892. The forces of protection and free
trade have again met as they met in Ohio
last fall. In Rhode Island, as IN Ohio,
the cause of American industry and hon.
est money has triumphed. The men who
were working in the interest of foreign
manufactures have been defeated. The
men who have upheld the rights of Amer
can labor have been sustained. The Dem
ocrats boldly proclaimed the contest the
beginning of the great national conflict.
The Republicans accepted the gage OF
battle and appeale to the voters of the
State to declare whether they were for
America or Great Britain whether Rhode
Island would maintain or repudiate the
policy that has made her workers prosper
Gus and her domain a center of renumer-
alive industry. Rhode Island has replied.
Her answer will ring from Maine to Cali
fornia. 1t will be heard in free trade
England. It's significance will be noted
in every ciyillzed land. The great little
State Indignantly Iepels her culminstors,
condemns the advocates of free trade and
takes her rightful place in the front ranks
of the Republican column.
