Another Universal Language.

From the London Globe.
 Never do six months pass by without some attempt being made to do away with the disadvantages of the diversity of tongues. but so far success has not at- tended any of them. Struggle as they may inventors of universal languages cannot get away from Latin and the latest attempt. that by Professor Peano of Turin, resolves itself into Latin with out infections Phe professor proposes to do away with cases. numbers, genders and persons and also with lenses and voices, using the ablative in the case of substantives and the infinitive minus re or Fl for verbs. In fact hIs system IS the evolution of the Italian tongue car ried to its logical conclusion. Nearly everyone learns Latin more or less. and it is difficult to see why the simple Latin of the middle ages without any straininS after Ciceronian elegancies should not suffice for all our international needs during the few years which must pass before all the world speaks English

st. Louis, Mo.

From Harper's Weekly
 A veteran clek in the government ser vice tells this reminiscence of a young applicants who was being put through a severe examination by the civil service commissioner. The examiner asked many questions some of which seemed to the applicant decidedly irrelevant to the posi- tion for which he was trying to qualify.
 Finally a question was put to him which seemed so remote from the matter in hand that he rebelled. It concerned the distance of the sun from the earth, and the applicant answered promptly and to the point.
 T don't know was his reply, "how far the d--d thing is in feet. but I'll tell you one thing-it isn't near enough to in- terfere with this job if I get it.
