COUSINSHIP OF LANGUAGES

The Literary Digest (September)
publishes translation. from Revue des
Deux Mondes, of an article by Michel
Breal, explanatory of thenew science OF
semantics, which means, he says, "the
Sef5 Seispss Ga fgnsatl0ns II II fEom ne
.nhonetics.' the science of sounds" W.
quote the following interesting para
graph from the article referred to, III
which M. Breal considers the relative
intelligence of nations as reflected ir
their languages:
Is any one European tongue more
favorable than another to intellectual
progress? In the main we may answer
mo-" They all, or almost all, have
the same origin and are built on the
same plan. We are capable
of expressing the same things, although
within the limits of their relationship
it may be possible to observe special
aptitudes. But If we wish to feel the
assistance that language gives to the
mind and the particular bent that 1t
imposes on it, we must compare with
our own some idiom of Central Af-
rica or some native dialect Of Amer
lea. In Brazilian the word tuba
means: ~ "his father" (2) "he has a
father" (3) 'he is father" In reality
tuba means "he father" This is the
speech of child. In Chinese the
phrase "sin he thien" may be trans
lated: ~ "the saint aspires to heaven"
(2) "he is saint to aspire to heaven"
(3) that man is a saint who aspires to
heaven" These Chinese words mean
simply, saint aspire heaven" The
service that our languages render us
is that of imposing form that forces
us to be precise.

twice as large as the year lmmedi-

DEPRESSION IN AGRICULTURE.

Fin its recent report on the causes
of agricultural depression in Great
Britain. the royal commission of four
teen of the most eminent men of that
country, said: 1--WE cannot doubt
that to some extent, and possibly to
a considerable extent, the prices of
agricultural produce have been affect
ell by increased production, but it
must also be remembered that dun
ing the same period the population
of the world has immensely increased,
and an enormous increase of produc-
ton has necessarily been required for
them; and although some witnesses
have urged that the fall in prices is
largely due to production, we
have had no evidence, and we great
ly question If such evidence could
be adduced to show that compared
with the increase of population, the
food products of the world are ma
terially greater than they were before
the fall in prices commenced"
This conclusion stands to reason,
says the spokesman Review. TAX
ing one year with another, the world
consumes all the food by it pro-
duced. There is a better method of
distribution, under which the coun-
try having deficiency draws upon
the country with the surplus, whereas
under cruder means of transportion
the people of one country went
pinched for food, while food prod.
ucts perished in other countries.
OF wheat the commission says
Speaking broadly, the figures clear,
ly suggest that the decline in wheat
during the last twenty years is not
due to any great growth of produc-
tion, In excess of the growth of the
consuming population. The facts
are rather the other way; the growth
of the acreage under wheat has Jagged
behind the growth of population"
These conclusions are supported
by the government figures of produc-
tion and population in the United
States. According to the official
Statistical Abstract, the United
States in 1880 produced 8 47-5C
bushels of wheat per capita. In
1890 the production had fallen &c
Z 52-62 bushels per capita. Yet the
United States is held up as the CHIEF
wheat-increasing producer of the
world.

piers and abutments for the new Port
land & Kumford Falls railroad bridge
which Is to span the Andgrosooggin just
above Chisholm's Mills on the extension
from Gilbertsville to Livermore Falls
were completed the 18th of this month
but the iron which is on hand ready for
the bridge men will not be PUT on until
after the ice goes out this spring. )
The building OF the two abutments,
both monuments to skilfull workmen,
WAS not very difficult trick for expert
enced men with good crew under them,
but with the piers 1t was different and in
the construction of them the contractors
experienced one of the most difficult and
hazardous jobs ever undertaken in Maine
and the completion of these piers without
any serious accident happening is re-
garded as almost miraculous
The bids for an underta king 10 hazar-
dous were rather slow In coming in, but
the job was finally undertaken by the
we'll known contractors, MARS & Lewis
OF New York, who are now putting in
the piers for the Tukey's bridge so
called, from Portland to Deering.
