Voiapuk Is Vanishing.

In the later part of the seventies a
German linguist, Johann Schleyer,
was at work on a world language-an
artificial language made out of the
principal languages of the earth. In
1879 he issued grammar and vocab-
ulary of the language to which he
gave the name of Volapuk. Volapuk con-
sisted of IA, 900 words, of which about
1300are root words, q third being taken
from the English, ,one-fourth from the
Romance, fifth from the German and
the remainder from other languages.
It's grammar was it's chief advantage,
being very simple and regular through
out, was designed to be useful COM
mercial language. Its introduction
marked the beginning of craze. Ten
years after the language was presented
to the public there were no less than
twenty-three qualifications appearing IN
this tongue. In America paper pub
lished exclusively in this new lingo was
established and 5000 copies of Hand
book of Volapuk" were sold. But the

Chrstianl is held on charge OF attempt
ing to strike the President.
President Loubet remained all the Wnlie
quite unmoved, talking to tho Premier,
while the officers OF his military household
were defending him against violence.
Finally, the Project OF Police ordered the
Republican Guards to surround the Presl-
Dental stand.
Demonstrations and counter.demonstra-
tlons continued until NJ. Loubet lett the
race course. The mounted guards with
difficulty opened passage through the
crowd, the President being pursued to the
last with boots and yells. Even eggs were
thrown.
1t was noteworthy, however, that the
people generally cheered him loudly, the
cheers increasing as he drove toward the
Elysee, which be reached safely.
A special Cabinet council was summoned
to consider the situation. A semt-ofhelal
note hns been issued, which 'says: "Ihe
Government will act with the greatest
energy and will impose respect for the
President and for the State"
The Race Course Committee apoloGized
to NJ. Loubet, who replied that he could
not think OF holding them responsible. He
remarked to an important parsonage that
be did not intend being intimidated into
resignation.

Tho Byacintll Fields OF HARLEM.

Holland is still the bulb-grower OF
the world. Supremacy in hyacinths
and tulips is the one distinction left,
which gains a niche for Holland among
the world powers. No one who is ac-
auainted with the figures OF the Dutch
bulb trade ami has watched the in.
sinuatlon Of the hyaciuth into the
forbidding corners of English urban
life will doubt that Haarlem's industry
is a world power. Ought not then
every Hollander to be proud of Haar-
lem? Should OF he take of his hat
to every byacinth bloom he passes?
And if he is not skilled to bow with
grace the flower will teach him, for
the humility of natural beauty invari'
ably saves the hyacinth from any
arrogance OF bearing. True, it has
not the singular grace of the daffodil,
which learns the lesson of humility
and bends it's head just at the crisis
of it's glory; still, the upright hyacinth,
left to its own devices, is never stiff.

fad is dying out rather rapidly, though
the activity of some of its friends, es-
pecially in the Volapuk academy IN
Russia, show no signs of decreasing.
The obstacles in the way of its becom-
ing a world Language are numerous.
1t is not at all adapted to those who
speak the Polish and Hungarian Ian
guages for instance; it's great deh-
cheney was its inability to render the
idiomatic expressions of the various
living languages; while the idea OF in.
ducing billion and half of human
beings to give up their mother tongue
for an artificial language is hardly con-
ceivable at this day.
