rhe German Favor the General study OF
the Coming Language.
In an article on the importance oil
introducing into the schools the study
of universal language (Weltsprache).
which recently yappeared IN the Preus'
sische Jahrbuecher, DR.. Schroer ad-
vocateS making the study Of English
obligatory, not necessarily to the ex.
rlusion Of the classical tongues, but
at least in conjunction with them.
This" he says. "is not a question
1f taste or rivalry between the mod
ernS' ana the 'ancients;' it is simply
a historical necessity" The learned
professor properly condemns all at
tempts, however scientific, to con-
,trucI all artificial world-speech-like
Eolapuk. In his opinion language
which Possesses neither literature,
historical development nor linguistic
relations cau never serve as medium
0: general communication. for the
reason that no one will take the
trouble to acquire 1t, merely as a
tool OF trade" until 1t becomes unl'
yersal. Such attempts, however, a!e
not only aimleSSs, because they can
never obtain the general consent Of
mankind, but they are needless, for
there already exists universal lam
guage--L. e., a language which, by
its spread over the whole earth, and
by the ease with which it may be
learned, has gained such a long steE
in advance that neither natural nor
artificial means can deprive it OF It's
assured position as the future medium
OF international intercourse. And
this language is the English.
Prof. Schroer is careful to warn HI
rca iers not to set their aim too high,
for to learn to speak and write
auent'v aud correctly language
which holds so high place in tho
scale of culture and refinement as the
English is difficult; but for the aver
ace man this is not necessary, 1ol
even the acreage En2lishGan las but
I, limited command OF his mother
tongue, and the daily intercourse OF
life requires but a small and easily
acquired vocabulary. This is true OF
every language, but the absence OF
puzzing gender5 and infections and
;Yntactical forms renders the English
easy il comparison with others.
.'The English language" concludes
Prof. Schroer, sis the World-speech,
and will, to all appearance, become
more and more SO every year"
During the present century the En-
gllsh-speaking population OF the
world has increased hve-fold, from
possibly 25, 0OO 900 at its beginning
to at least 1880, 00O. No ether
language has ever been so rapidly de-
yeloped, no fact in civil history is
more significant than this. In every
quarter Of the world English is the
conquer ng tongue. The wide spread
! Of the British colonial system, tho
marvellous growth Of The United
S1ates and the facility with which it
absorbs every foreign element bear
witness to this great fact. and our
cousins in Germany are of too prac'
tical turn Of. mind to be Jealous "
rorgetful Of it.-Baltimore Sun.

The Nose Out OF joint

With the advent Of baby number
two world oI sympathy gees forth
to the little one whose place IS taken
by another. and who finds that
mothers care and greatest tender
ness is for the new conner. It is pitt
iful In many instances to see the way
that child 10 more than a baby
itself is cast aside IN order that the
little stranger may be properly at,
tended to.
Many a toddler accustomed to al.
The attention. looks on in grieved
surprise when the kisses and careSses
that were once all his ownsare trans
ferred TO little sister or brother. a
child is too Young to reason, but not
too young to feel. and many baby's
heart has been wounded by this lack
of attention, and many an evil
thought has come into little minds
that never would have found place:
there had not wounded feelings been
the IrsJ seeds OF a jealousy that
grows with It's growth aud crowds out
all The aIecuOu that should he 1Cs-
tered ia its breast for the new addl-
ton 10 the family,
q Mothers, friends, and relatives are
Generally to blame for this state OF
,affairs. With the glee that small
boy tortures a NY they tell No. l
,7at It's nose is out Of Joint and at
once brush it to one side regard lesS
Of all that it has been before No. =
arrived. They are not Intentionally
cruel, but nevertheless they are, and
it would be well if conscience would
b.t speak plainly to these individuals
who err through ignorance rather
than intention.
It should be the duty Of all the
household who have been 10 the habit
of betting number one to let that
small person understand that its place
is cot taken by the new oaby, but
that it has found dear little sister
or brother. and that the love can be
Iir.ded between the Two, instead OF
shifted from one to the other. Child
ish hearts are quick to feel and child
i,h minds keen 70 appreciate, and
with little gentle management the
advent or nun ber two can De made
an occasion for rejoicing, rather than

This style Of photograph shows the
position that should <bs taken for
bronzes Of reduced size.
An original IDEA is that showing :
person in a bottle. The person rep
resented has hrst been photographed
Upon scale sufficiently reduced to
allow him to enter the bottle. This
pose has been made by arranging
mask around the Subject-that Is,
making a screen with an opening
similar to a Russian background, but
this is only done to mask the ground
1t will perhaps be preferable to have,
the subject step uponss stool c9geseg
with black cloth. Whichever <Wa5gfs,

taken there is nothing more to de

Systematic Rest.

10 understand the way to rest Is
Of more importance than to Kno"
how to work. The latter can lie
learned easily: the former 1t takes
years t. learn. and some people never
learn the art OF resting. 1t IS simply
a change Of see :es AID activities
Loattng may not be resting. Sleep.
ing is not always resting. Sitting
down for days with nothing to do -
not restfuL. 4 change IS needed 10
bring into play different set O.:
faculties and TO turn the life into =
new channel. The man who work
hard tnds his best rest in playing
hard. The man who IS 5urdenei

Columbus.

The belief In Chinese Colum-
bns was hrst allowed by scholars
only about fifty years ago: The
claim is that a Buddhist priest Ia
the 11th century crossed the Pa
cifc to this continent and returned,
making a written report Of his dis
co7ery. The report still exists. It
Wis translated into French IN 1871

distance meant by 20, 900 II. The
priest may have reached only some

LIIMPRICHT,
The Arizona sentinel., 1893-09-16

MUCH space and attention is be- ing we'll devoted by the press to the exposition of the swindling operations of Walter J. Raymond, in his nefarious land schemes in California, one of which is located near Yuma. The letters publish ed in to'day's SENTINEL, show up the swindler in his true light.
 Encouraged by the success of Raymond, it is stated upon good authority, that a kindred scheme has been put on foot in Los An geles, to dispose of some school sections situated in the sand hills, along the line of the s. P. R. R., between El Rio and Indio in Cali fornia. The land if there is any, is covered with sand from 10 to 100 feet deep. That section of the des- ert has enough to contend with, without any such frauds to iniure if
