Though he is still young man, being
only 81 years of age, Mr.. Page has been
singularly successful. He is a native of
North Carolina and was one of the first
fellows of Johns Hopkins university
when that institution opened in 1876.
He is now president of the Johns Hop
kins Alumni association in New York.
His special studies have always been
concerned with the large social problems
of the day, and he had gained consider
able reputation as q writer on sociolog

the magazine was in a business capacity,
but he assumed the editorship about
three years ago on the retirement of Mr..

One is glad to learn that the French
Academy contemplates making some i'm
portant changes in the spelling of the
French language. These will be in the
direction of simplifying French orthog-
raphy. For foreigners it is more diff
cult to write French words than even to
pronounce them. because the spelling
and pronunciation are to anybody but a
FrenChman so wide apart, and because
% the silent letters. We are given to
understand that many of these silent let
tiers will be dropped, which is good news
to those who would like to learn French.
A knowledge of it is necessity to one
who travels.
In America, when we want to adopt a
new word or change its spelling, we
simply do so, and that is the end of it.
In this way the language has been per
manently enriched by the addition of
many a good, expressive word But
they do these things differently in France.
There no word, no phrase, no matter
how admirable, can be adopted without
the sanction of the French Academy. A
committee of that august body mus
wrestle with it, examine it, sit up nights
with it and think over it before it can be
come n part of their precious French
speech. In this way they believe they
preserve the purity of their language
and perhaps they do, but it is certain
they miss good deal of fun

Yellow fever must not be allowed to
spread; neither must cholera. Medical
science in this age should be able to van
quish all contagious diseases among civ
ilized men. 1t is a reflection on the
knowledge and skill of our scientific
doctors when they cannot meet and
cope with any plague that can now visit
enlightened countries. Meantime Sur
geon Murray, U. S. A, believes he has
a mode of treatment that will save the
life of any one attacked with yellow
fever. So much faith has he in his
method that he desired his own little
children to come to- Brunswick that
they might have yellow fever and get
over it, and thenceforth be ''immunes."

Far from the Madding Crowd.

A newly-married couple boarded the
train at wayside village. The groom
was strapping young fellow, with sun
burnt face and hands and BEARS grease
on his hair; while the bride might have
been "hired girl" on the same farm.
They had no sooner taken seat than he
put his right arm around her and began
to caress one OF her hands. A voice in
the rear of them cried out "Spoons !" but
the bridegroom gave no sign. Pretty
soon he pulled her head on his shoulder,
and there was litter in the rear of the
car. The head stayed right there, how
ever, and Josh got both her hands in his
paw. Three or four voices called out
"Oh!" and "Ah!" but it was fully two
minutes before he tenderly pushed her
away and rose, looked around, and said,
"We are married" Another litter went
round. "We spanked for four years.
She's my violet and Pm her towerin' oak.
We've got one hundred and ninety miles
to go, and we are goin' to spoon every
rod of the way, and if there is any critter
here who thinks he can't stand it he can
get out and walk. Toronto Globe.

From Montesano Vidette:

From Montesano vidette:
The marriage of Miss Mary Sargent,
who resided in this city for some time,
and Sidney Stringer of Olympia, took
place yesterday evening.
The residence of F. M. Wilson caught
fire yesterday from the stove-pipe, burn
ing quite hole in the roof, but was dis
covered in time to prevent serious dam
age.
Our farmers should read OF the big har-
vest in hops and the prices being quoted
for the product. What can be done in
other portions of the state can be done
here.
A gentleman of this city wants to know
why we reduced the size Of our paper.
We are surprised at such question.
Look at our advertising columns for the
answer. No paper in the state gives more
home news for the amount of advertising
carried than does the Vidette.
One thing is certain-the farmers have
had abundant crops, and even if they
should not be able to market much OF
their produce they will have plenty to live
on this winter. But it is likely that even
if times should continne dull, hay and
grain will bring good price.
Last Saturday Daisy Draggoo, whose
parents live at Oakville, started out for
a horseback ride, when the horse became
frightened at something, throwing it's
rider and dragging her some distance by
her foot which had caught in the saddle
stirrup, breaking her leg and badly bruis-
ing her about the head and shoulders.
From two to three dollars day may be
earned in the hop fields of King, Pierce
and Yakima counties for the next five or
six weeks. What pity it is that Cheha-
lis comfy has not the same proposition
to make to labor. It is hoped that in a
very few years this county will be pointed
to as one OF the banner hop-raising Sec
tons of the state. f ss1 seq
Fred A. White will leave for Southern
California, in short time, where he will
remain at least for some time. He will
have charge of the state high school,
located at Elsinore, to which position he
was elected short time ago. He visited
that place last spring, and was SO charmed
with it that he readily accepted the fiat
tering offer mentioned above.

In School Again.

Certain boys and girls are at this mo-
ment, perhaps, thinking of going back to
school with somewhat of the same feel
ing with which convict who has escap-
ed and been recaptured thinks of being
taken back throug the prison door.
If these boys and girls were to be told
that they had been going to school all
through their vacation, and were now
about to enter upon long period of
agreeable entertainment, they would
probably think that some sort Of riddle
were being propounded to them.
But, since the educational play-spell
called vacation is now passed, the boy or
girl with ''level head" will seek to i'm
part something Of the recreative spirit in
to the long work-spell before him. By SO
doing he will not only acquire knowledge
but enjoy acquiring it.-Ex.

Take Care of Your Ewes.

The way people abuse their eyes is
amazing. They try them, strain them
and overtax them in all manner of ways.
And when their eyes begin to weaken
with i'll usage and age they are too proud
to give them the aid of glasses which
they crave. Furrowed cheeks, sallow
compilations and white hair can be hid
den under enamel and rouge and dyes.
but there is no fashionable nostrum that
can cover up weakness of eyes. Spec
tacles proclaim the defect which they
mitigate and are looked upon by those
whose minds are as weak as their eyes
as a badge of infrmity, and sooner than
saddle their noses with them they saddle
their lives with semiblindnesS.-Ne

In the province of Alsace a few years
ago little girl was seen playing with a
doll, which was dressed in red. white
and blue. The suspicious of the official
were aroused, for it certainly was dread
full to see the power of the German en-
pire so boldly threatened. The child
was tracked to its home, and there the
officer found that the doll was present.
He went Immediately to the lady who
had given it to the child and obtained
the address of the store where the danger
Gus plaything had been bought. 1t was
a modest little place, but the officer
found it at last and then discovered that
the doll had been made and dressed in
LEIPZIG! This was a surprise, but the
matter did not end here, for the manu-

and blue dolls to Alsace. Exchange
