which gave very speedy relief. We re-

This certainly is the best medicine ever

vOLAPuK HAS A RIVAL.
Esperanto Is the Name OF This New Uni
versaI

Esperanto Is the Name OF This New Uni-
verssI Language.
Esperanto is not the name of a new
liquor or of new appetizer. nor that
of comic song. bu. ii is the name of
an artificial language, which is fast
gaining adherents in France, and mat
is already able to boast of many fol-
overs in Europe, .he United States,
and even in some parts of Africa.
Among those most proficient in the
language is Frenchman, bearing the
aristocratic name of D'Eyssautier. He
says that Esperanto is by no means a
new language. nor even a recent dis
covery. This international language
has been in existence nearly ten years,
and there are at least 10000 adherents
In different parts of the world.
The author or originator of ;Esperan-
to is Russian gentleman, DIR. Eamen-
hof, of Warsaw. He says that one may
learn it's grammar in an hour, and all
it's vocabulary of words in few days.
The official organ of the language,
the Esrerantisto. is utterly opposed to
the yolapuk organ, for it has literary
tendencies.
The fact is, Esperanto hopes TO de-
throne yolapuk altogether. Verses
may be written in it, and translations
of the Had and Hamlet have been pub
lished.
Like all artificial universal Ian
guages, the roots of Esperanto are de-
rived from the best known of modern
tongucs-English, French and German

students

gays the Milwaukee SSrtinel. 1t Is q
tree which grew from apple seeds plant
cd by ex-Gov. James Duane Do;y. When
Mr.. Doty was first apo. nted territorial
Judge of Wisconsin by President Fill
more, and was about TO leave Washing
ton, the great Daniel Webster shook
by, at the same time handing him q
large red apple. Webster Their split
the apple in two and he took one-half
and Doty the other. The seeds from
Doty's half were brought TO this place
and planted, and all there is left now
is an old, withercd tree, almost ready
to fall.
The Doty homestead across the river
still remains, and is in a good state of
preservation. 1t is an old log house,
and before the new Roberts summer re-
sort was built it was used as a sum-
mer hotel. An old registry which was
used in this hostelry is still preserved
by Mrs. Roberts. and on its title page
are the autographs of some Of the

CLEVER SHAMMIN0.


Paris.Housekeepers wlT.Now Look Askancs
at Sanitary Experts.
One of the knights of industry" Who
abound in Paris accomplished very
sharp theft recently, says Paris let
ter. He walked around to newly
constructed house on the Boulevard
Henri Quatre. which had lately re-
ceived some tenants, and pompously
represented himself as the special ar
chitect of the board of health, sent
to inspect the sanitary arrangements
of the new dwellings. The concierge,
deeply impressed by the grand appear
ance of the man. and believing in his
official character, admitted him to tine
rooms of one of the tenants. who hap
pened to be connected with the Lyons
railway. The occupant of the fiat was
out, as the sham architect took care
to ascertain beforehand.
The sharper sent the innocent con-
cierge Downstairs for measuring rod.
and Immediately set TO work to force
open safe. whence he took packet
of railway shares and City of Paris
bonds. amounting in value to over
6 600. The safe was firmly closed be-
fore the return of the concierge, who.
suspecting nothing. accompanied the
sharper around the apartment. After
the sham architect had finished his tour
OF inspection. he politely departed.
When the official of the Lyons COM
pany came home at noon he discovered
his loss, and entered into immediate
communication with the police. who
are now looking for the sham archi-
teef
