guistic Unity.
: The Chinese minister is profoundly
affected as we all are, by the result OF
the building of Babel. The numerous
languages and dialects of the world
hinder seriously, he thinks, the prog
ress and unity Of mankind, says the
London Spectator. We are not so sure
about the progress, though we admit
the unity in great part. Those who
have studied most profoundly the his
tory of an important part of mankind
we think, naturally, the most i'm
portant-viz., Europe, have been of
opinion that the diversity of Europe,
has been its leading progressive ele-
ment. Suppose that at the overthrow
of the western empire some one of the
great Teutonic tribes had imposed it's
language on Europe, or that the de-
based Latin of the fifth century had
been received and assimilated every
where. Europe might have been in
consequence unit today, but the rich
and varied growths of European litera-
ture would not have existed. Uniform

pact of mind on mind, of race on race,
Of speech or speech, of thought on
thought, would have been lost to man
kind. Think of a Europe in which
French, English, Italian, Spanish and
German literature had never come to
the birth, but in which some one great
tongue had tried in vain to express
mans varied mind. The Chinese min
lister, coming from a vast and COM
paratively uniform empire, can per-
haps scarcely realize with adequate
force what we in Europe should have
lost. Nor are we quite sure that the
unity would have been gained in any
thing like the degree supposed. Unity
and uniformity are very different
things; and the profoundest unity ever
effected, or that can be e.Iected, was
produced by religion which was de-
Veioped in great cosmopolitan cities
where scores of languages were spoken
by its converts. We remember OF
course, the great aid rendered by Greek
to Christianity, but it was an aid per-
haps more on it's philosophical side
than on the side of everyday human
speech. Racial unity is the next great
uniting bond, but racial unity is
not the same as linguistic unity;
and we see today people - like
the Belgians and French, the Italians
OF Italy and those of Switzerland. the
English-speaking dwellers in the Unit
ed States and Canada-living close to-
gether, speaking the same language,
and yet not fused or completely united.

Justice Brewer as q Story Teller,

Associate Justice Brewer, of the
United States Supreme court. is one
OF the best anecdote relaters in Wash
1ngton. and frequently tells stories on
himself. Here is an amusing one:
When he was studying law in New
York city he evinced some interest in
the municipal campaign then on and
was invited to make a speech ON
certain occasion. He accepted and
carefully fortifying himself with in
formation on the subject and other
wise preparing for his part of the pro-
gram he appeared on the platform in
ample time. When he got up he made
an eloquent depletion of the virtues
OF his party; he made deep draughts
on simile and metaphor; his sentences
were exquisitely rounded and it was
a mastery example of a class-da ora
tion. The audience sat unmoved. an
occasional man alone greeting what he
said. The next speaker was an un-
kempt individual, careless of grammar,
who committed a wholesale slaughter
of the English language. But he made
several good points in a crude way
that appealed to the crowd, and when
he ended the applause was deafening.
AS the then would-be lawyer with the
fine periods passed out a man behind,
not recognizing him, whispered in his
ear: Il like that second feller better:
he talks sense"

Father Needed Attention.

II he had spent all his life in a su-
burban town, where people always eat
on the jump and dash off to catch the
train with the pastry course in their
hands The child watched with grow
ing disfavor the way he made things
fly. At length she turned to her
mother. Mother" she said in her
shrill, high, carrying voice, cant you
do something to father to make him
stop eating so fast? You spanked me
for It," And fathers dinner suddenly

Mortality.

One Of the counties of the state OF
Connecticut once boasted of Judge
who, though poorly furnished with
those little reflnements usually met
with in polished society, was an ener-
getic, shrewd man, and a promising
lawyer. A neighbor of his was about
to give away his daughter in marriage,
and having a deep-rooted dislike to
the clerical profession. and being de-
termined, as he said, "to have no par
son in his house." he sent for his
friend the Judge, to perform the cere-
mony. The judge came, and, the can
didates for the connubial yoke taking
their places before him, he addressed
the bride: you swear you will marry
this mani" Yes, SIR" was the reply.
And you addressing the bridegroom)

Tuesday, the 14th. when all the

very gay. He whistled bits from The

Just before noon tall, narrow youth

1t was half-past Tuesday afternoon

A successful business man said that
thens were two things which he learned
when he was eighteen. and which were
ever afterward of great use to him
namely: Never to lose anything, and
never. to forget anything"
AN old lawyer sent the young man
with an, important paper, giving him
definite instructions what to do with it.
But" inquired the young man, sup
pose that l should happen to lose it,
what shall l do thenT
You must not lose it," said the law

man, but suppose l should happen

"But say you must not happen to. 1

occurrence. You must not lose it,
This put new train of thought into
the young mans mind, and he found
that if he was determined to do a thing
he could do it. He made such provis-
ion against every contingency that he
never lost anything.
He found this equally true about for
getting. If a certain matter of import
ance was to be remembered he pinned
it down on his mind. fastened it there,

When man tells me that he forgot

Railway Pensions,

Two great railway corporations recently
made an announcement that is decidedly
interesting. One company in America and
another in Argentina have stated that they
have decided TO adopt new policy respect
ing the treatment of employees who have
worn themselves out in the transportation
service. They will establish a fund from
which a faithful servant who has been
identified with the corporation for a GER
tain number of years, and who has reached
an age where he is incapacitated from fur
ther labor Of an exacting kind may draw
sufficient annuity for his support, the spec
fled sum being a percentage of the wages
received by the beneficiary while actively
engaged.
At fFst sight this apparently purely
benefcent Innovation might appear to be a
contradiction of the modern adage that
corporations have no souls. but a careful
examination of the proposition will prove
that it is directly in the line Of economies
and not entirely sentimental or charitable
in its origin.
The land transportation service is one
crowded with responsibilities for the man
agement. There are several essentials for
the successful operation of railway line:
it must be run efficiently; it must be AS
