derstand the ancient Indian books OF
philosophy and theology. When,
however, the children appeared be-
fore the Emperor, every one was as
tonished to find that they did not
speak any language at all. They
had learnt from their nurses to do
without any, and they merely ex-
pressed their thoughts by gestures
which answered the purpose of words.
They were SO savage and so shy that
it was work of some trouble to tame
them and to loosen their tongues,
which they had scarcely used during
their infancy"
If we are to believe Lindsay of Pit
scottie in his Chronicles of Scot
land" then Scotland, the land of le-
gend, of poetry and of song, is not to
be outdone in this matter. In an
account of James ~. he relates that
"the king also caused tax ane dumb
woman, and pat her in Inchkeith,
and gave hir in all necessares thingis
PERTAINING to their nourischment, de-
string heirby to know quhat langua-
ges they had when they cam to the
aige of perfyte speach. Some sayes
they spake guild Hebrew, but | know
not by authors rehearse," etc., etc.

most of their privileges, enjoying one OF
those "rarest days in June" when James
Russell Lowell says:
"Heaven tries the earth If 1t be In tune,
And over 1t softly her warm ear lays;
Whether we look. or whether we listen.
We hear life murmur, or see it gisteD.'
1t is not in the heart of 1899 to give
the scratch Of pen to deprive the great
population of cities of this weekly oppor-
tunity for enjoying the worlds best art,
it's literature, or it's beautiful, green.
growing, blooming. singing things, which
make the city park such privilege and
pleasure to those who, perhaps. seldom
darken church door.
If the other things. the Sunday ex
cursion, Sunday theatres and open sa-
looms must have their fling, let US all
encourage these higher privileges, show
ing the multitude better way.

tial sermon to our church in Springfield,

FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY.
Mrs. G. B. Lupton, clerk of the church

B. Linell was the first pastor, and he
was followed by Revs. HI. Clifford, D. r.
Biddlecombe and others whit have passed

invitations extended to former pastors,
and that the services may be instrument
tai in arousing new interest in behalf
of our church in that community.

JAPAN'S NEW STEAMER LINE.
Will II Make Its Terminus ON the Sound
or at san Diego.

Tacoma. March Especial first
steamship of the Imperial japanese
steamship line will sail from the river
Thames the latter part of March for ia
pan. This, the first authentic Information
regarding the new vessel was brought by
tho officers of the Northern Pacific liner
Victoria. which arrived here at 80
O'Clock last night. Two large and hand
somely equipped steamships have been
under construction on the Thames for
several months past, and one of them Will
be launched and ready for service within
the next three weeks. or at the outside
month.
Both the vessels will he OF 5000 tons
register. and will he fitted with the most
elegant and modern passenger acconmo-
dations SO anxious has the japanese
government been to have the new ocean
liners finished. that work on them has
been rushed night and day.
The terminus of the line on this contin-
ent has not been determined as yet II Is
understood. just how the Japanese gov
errment regards Puget sound in this con-
nectiOn cannot he ascertained here. but
the advantage in time possessed by this
route between the Orient and the Allan
tic coast is believed 10 be an argument
strongly In favor of having the line es-
fahlished TO the Sound. II is known. how
ever that San DienCo. Cal, Is making
every EFFORT possible to have the terminus
of the line located there. and Is holding
out attractive Inducements in the way of
subsidies and advantageous traffic ar
rangemenis with the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company. II the line Is 10 he
loo atei on Puget sound. some rapid and
effective work will have TO he done.
The chief advantage possessed by San
Diego is proximity Of cotton belt. and to
New Orleans. the cotton shipping center
OF the United States. Japan is receiving
great quantities Of machinery via the
Northern Pacific line. and will some day
supply a large portion Of the markets of
the world with cotton fabrics and prints.
The cost of shipping cotton from New
Orleans TO Japan. with short rail haul to
san Diego would be much less than via
Puget Sonnd. and thus materially lessen
the cost of the manufactured goods.
