No Language of Their own.

NO LANG Oh O"h.
Among tie peoples of the world the
Swiss are alone in having no language
they can call their own. According to
recent visitor to the little country,
about thrCe-fourths of the people of
Switzerland speak German, while the
remainder divide four other languages
among them. mainly French and ltal-
ian, the languages varying as rule
according to the proximity of the PEG
pie to each country whose tongue they
speak. Public documents and notices
are printed in both French and Ger
man.
In the Swiss congress, or rational
parliament, the members mat their
speeches either in French or German.
for nearly all THE members understand
both languages. The orders of the pres
ident are translated by an official in
terpreter and furnished to the newspa-
pers In both languages.

There is grace Of kind listening as
we'll as grace of kind speaking. Some
men listen with an distracted air
which shows that their thoughts are
elsewhere, or they seem to listen. but
by wide answers and irrelevant qucs-
tons show that they have been occu-
pied with their own thoughts as being
more interesting, at least in their own
estimation, than what you have been
saying. Some interrupt and will not
hear you to the end. Some hear you to
the end, and forthwith begin to talk to
you about similar experience which
has befallen themselves, making your
case only an illustration Of their own.
Some, meaning to be kind, listen with
such a determined, lively, violent at
tention that you are Mt once made I'M
comfortable, and the charm of con-
versation is at an end. Many persons
whose manners will stand the test Of
speaking break down under the trial
of listening.
