The swiss Language.

We sometimes hear that the French
language has less vitality than some
others. and 1t is in particular pointed
out to what an extent It is giving
way to English and German. says the
London News. Some figures Just pub
lished do not, however, bear out this,
In the case. at any rate. of Switzer-
land. where French. German and
Italian are all spoken. In 1888 the num-
ber of persons speaking German in
the Helvetian republic was 2,0s3, ,097;
those speaking French 634.613, ana
those speaking Italian, 155.130. At the
recent census 1t was found that the
position had changed considerably.
There are now, according to the off,
cial figures. 2.319.105 persons whose
language is German. 7S3,220 who
speak French. and 222.2%7 who use
the language Of Dante. Certain can
tons appear in particular to be giving
up the use of German. In Nsufchatel,
where formerly $4,000 persons spoke
that tongue. there are now only 1900.

Conscience of Theological Student Has

Conscience of Theological Student Has
sudden Awakening.
At certain university in this state
the game of hearts has been exceed
ingly popular among the students the
last winter. A group of them, accus-
toned to meet In one Of the fraternity
houses to play. included theological
student. who, although a member of
one of the stricter denominations. did
not fnd 1t against his conscience to
be an ardent devotee of the game.
which, however-at least when he
made one Of the party-was never
played for money. Even when chips
were introduced for counters. as be-
ing an easier method of keeping score
than the tiresome tally with pencil and
paper. the theologue did not balk.
But there came an evening when
his sense of the fitness of things re-
ceived q rude shock. The pile of
chips in the middle of the table had
reached rather large proportions, and
one of the players, inspired by de-
sire to make the prospective winnings
still more worth while. remarked.
Lets have the next a jackpot"
The effect of these words on the
theological student was electrical. He
knew of their being associated with
only one game. and that scarcely to
be mentioned in highly moral circles.
"A jackpot" he exclaimed mechani-
cally. Then guess I'm through with
this game" and he rose and walked
out. No amount Of explanations or
apologies was sufficient either to re-
instate hearts in his approval.-New

miserable mistake. on my part trust
you will forgive me-" he said.
Charlie saw he was sincere. ana as
his indignation passed away he unbent
hts dignity.
Then you know n was Miss Airline
Brand. and not the Countess Isolde.
whom assisted into a carriage at
the Steenf" he asked. eagerly, deter
mined to put his fears to the test.
Yes; she has assured me she never
saw you. save at distance" returned
the baron.
Then 1t is all right. Now I am
ready TO leave here and go cut with
you. baron" he said, smiling.
ITO breakfast with me. / hope"
Charlie hesitatsd.
True, he anticipated more or less
pleasure in his coming Interview with
Airline. There would be much to hear.
and some surprising things to tell on
his part.
But these would keep a little longer:
besides. 1t is sometimes exceedingly
pleasant; to anticipate a feast.
He had something which he wished
to relate to the baron. seeking in re-
turn his advice and material aid.
Whenever men went to the desperate
length of contemplating crime: in order
to secure wealth. as the so-called Capt.
Brand and his confreres had certainly
done when they purposely abandoned
the young girl among those awful
passages amid the Steen dungeons. It
was time the stern arm os the law was
invoked In order to bring them up
with a round turn.
And to whom could he go with a
better show of results than to the
baronf
So. arm in arm. Charlie and Baron
Demetruis Peterhoff sauntered out Of
the prison.
II was about eight in the morning.
Charlie could imagine the young fell
low standing on the deck of the ves-
sci bound for London. and swapping
his fingers at the baron's dragnet
He was determined not to give tho
slightest clew to his companion con-
cerning Alexander Brand. his plans or
present whereabouts
A vehicle stood near.
Into this Charlie was shown; the
baron followed. and presently they
drew up before palatial abode. where
the widower baron resided In great
style, as became a man OF his immense
means.
And over the elaborate breakfast
Charlie found chance to spin his
little story. the baron proving greatly
interested. as the sparkle in his eye at
tested.
He could read Charles secret as
easily as though the other carried the
story on his brow.
You have done excellently. Charlie,
my boy" he said. finally: but 1t is
Just as we'll you ask my assistance in
unmasking this unholy fraud. He
and his unprincipled accomplices
might be too much for you. Depend
upon 1t, shall tear the mask from his
face. and that right speedily"
