Latin has been the language Of civil
izstiOn since before the Christian era,
and contains about all the intellectual
treasures Of the world till the six
teenth century. For a thousand years
Hearly all who wrote had to write in
Latin to get readers, and nearly all
who read had to learn It in order to
Know what was written. Before the
Latin, the Greek was the principal
language Of civilization, which grad
ually passed into the modern Greek,
while the Latin passed into the Italian,
French and Spanish, forking into three
principal branches 1t ceased to be a
spoken language in the seventh cen

guages have sprung up largely de-
rived from the Latin) the
German, French, English and Russian,
which now contain the worlds intel
Iectual treasures, so that there is moth
ing more written in Latin or Greek
and about all that is valuable is trans
lated into modern languages. Latin
and Greek are still indispensable to
specialists in history and archaeology,
but are each year becoming less 50 &c

ADVANTAGES of Infrmity.

Senator DeDew says that the most
interesting instance of true optimism
that ever came TO his notice was that
afforded by an old man living near
.Peekskill, New York.
This old chap. who could give Mark
TapIey points on how to be cheerful
under adverse conditions, was a char
acter in his way, and nearly every
one in PeekskiIl enjoyed drawing him
out
He suffered from q combination Of
Easy and St Vitus dance; and when
he would painfully duck his head from
side to side in the manner peculiar to
his complaint the effect was most dis
tressing.

TEARS SHED BY ANIMALS.

Monkeys and Elephants Frequently
Observed When Weeping.
There are many scientists and men
who are accustomed TO deal with ami
mails who give authentic instances OF
having seen animals shed tears as a
result Of some strong emotion.
Humboldt relates that he had a
monkey which wept when it was
seized with fear Rengger says that
he has often seen the eyes of a small
South American monkey I'LL with tears
when ne was deprived Of some coveted
object or made very much afraid Of
something Darwin cites the case Of a
monkey from BOTneO in a geological
garden which was frequently moved to
tears when grieved or pitied.
Elephants have also been known to
show their grief in this way During
an elephant hunt in CeylOn one Of the
spectators relates that many Of the
elephants when bound showed no feel
ing except grief and remained perfect
" mOtiOnless while the tears streamed
from their eyes. Female elephants are
often affected in the same way when
their young are taken from them.
