 In a few days the English language in accordance with the decree Of Sep tember 10, is to be made obligatory

 practically. The decree says: Tne
 professors of the English must give
 all preference to teach the disciples to speak that language. and to fn- struct the students in the acquisition of . vocabulary and phraseosogy TOT xx daily use and for the expression of ordinary events and general neces. sities." The decree defines the oral system as that which must be follow ed in the class and that no language must be spoken during the lesson 1 hours other than English It is De ginning to be considered that the Eng fish is necessary for business in Mex leo as well as Spanish. It is only about eight years since Preident D1az

KIPLING ON HIS OWN PRIVATE KOPJE.

BILE toughness by himself as a broiler. Re-
turned to Bologna and took up experimental
ton in "Lessology." Inside of a year he
had discovered a method of making a pig
less sausage that has since become a most
attractive edible. although the exact secret
OF the recipe has never been divulged.
In the rext year his energies were devoted
to the Marconi system of language, and
the several little textbooks. "Frenchiess
French" 'Spainless Spanish" and Germ
less German or How to Be Silent in
Twenty Tongues have been of inestimable
service to linguistic students. 1t sl&,uld be
said here that he was not the inventor or
'viceless singers" these having been the
discovery of the late Colonel Mapleson, and
improved upon later by AIR. Grau and Mr..
Hammerste.n.
To amuse a small boy in a semiscientifc
manner. one winters day he ran about the
child's nursery shuffing his feet along the
carpet for a few minutes. and then sug-
gested touching noses with the youngster.
The electricity generated by his activity
created a spark. which. before the noses
touched, formed a link between them. The
discovery flashed upon him instantly. 'If,"
the young man reasoned. I'VE can project a
spark of electricity a sixteenth of an inch
between two unconnected nasal poles. what
IL to prevent our sending it 500 miles
through the air without a wire?" 1t was
as simple as Newton's discovery of the law
of gravitation. Experiments folio wed. In
side of six weeks the young inventor was
able 10 elicit a response on the wireless
method from a galvanized dog standing
eight feet away from the keyboard. Later
the distance was extended further and fur
ther. until 1902. when the letter 5. licked
off in the British Isles. Kissed through the
ether and soughed sibilantly upon the top
OF the trolley pole in Newfoundland.
Upon this Marconi's claim to immortality
now stands. but 1t is expected that he will
not rest TRANQUILITY upon laurels already won.
an expectation which gains reasonableness
from the rumor that he Is perfecting a
method by which suspension bridges may
be built without cables. as well as a wire
less wire mattress. by the use Of which a
tired person may lie down upon nothing at
all and sleep the sleep OF the just. The

late to save himself, the heroic fellow
folded his arms and stood still until tho.
structure under him gave way and sank'

That only means" said Mr.. Hay, that
We have two heroes to honor instead %

A little later he added:

and said: I ought to know you and you

In the course Of further conversation Mr..

GIRLS PRAY
FOR HUSBANDS

Special Correspondence Of The Sunday Republic.
New York. April 25-Husbands of the right
kind are needed in Hoboken. and the young
women of st. Joseph's Roman Catholic
Church have completed a nine days period
Of prayer that lords and masters may be
sent to them. The Reverend Father Nc
Avoy. pastor of the church. had viewed
with ALARM as a campaign orator would
say. the fact that in the last two or three
years the number OF marriages had fallen
off to a startling extent. He noticed that
the young women and the young men did
not seem to be especially interested in each
other and that the church lacked In social
activities.
whereupon the priest delivered sermons
upon matrimony.
There must be-" said he. more marry
ing in this parish. 1t is not good for the
young men to live alone. or for the women
either. for that matter. The church will
lose influence without homes"
ut is not our fault" said the young wo-
men. I'VE are willing to marry. IL the
right men Will ask us. but where are the
eligibles?'
The Reverend Father McAvoy reminded
them OF the efficacy Of prayer. and as q
result there was q novena held at which
the young women offered up their suppl
cations for husbands Of the right kind. In
eaCE case the Ideal OIL u HusOdHu WIS uil
ferent, yet there was in the minds Of the
fair petitioners the thought that there was
no place better adapted for prayer for the
increasing of matrimonial prospects than
the Shrine of ST. Joseph. patron saint of
matrimony.
1t Is expected. too that by June there
will be several weddings. although at pres
ent the young women are keeping their own
counsel. There Is no doubt of the fact.
however. that they prayed without ceasing
at st. Joseph's Church. They have with
them small leaden images OF St. Joseph
concealed in their pocketbooks. These are
about an inch In length They are inclosed
in tiny leaden cylinders and carried as
cnarms to bring about the wishes of the
petitioners husband Of the right kind.
The Reverend Father McAvoy took a
deep interest in the attendance. Of the
young women, and it is said that the rev.
erend MATCHMAKER secretly gave advice to
the young men hat they should try in ev-
cry way to live up to the ideals Of the
women. The priest is encouraged over his
campaign. and when the period of roses is
at hand 1t is likely that he will have rea-
son to feel stin more satisfied as to the
results Of his advice.
