LanCuaGe III France.

There are several districts in France where the very ancient tongues stlii survive Basque is spoken hy about 100000 persons. who are naturally proud of q language that is their eX- elusive possession, for it is unlike ev- cry other spoken tongue. and the as sertion is commonly made that to un- derstand it one must have learned it in the cradle. This peculiar property gives in the mind of the Basque people support to their belief that it was the language of Adam and Eve. The same claim is advanced, though, for Breton. The Romans when they conquered Gaul compared Breton to croaking of ravens. About million people speak Breton Then there are Flemish, still spoken by a comparatively small mum.

 Carpenters knocked off the weather boards. Shingles fell i'll showers about her. The sound of hammer and saw rang in her ears, and still she sat there. apparently oblivious to everything.

Ancient Roses.

Flinders Petrie, the archaeologist, while excavating among some ancient Egyptian tombs, found a wreath of roses which had been bound into a garland and buried with the dead thou' sands of years ago. M. Crepin, the bot anist and microscopist, made a care full examination of this queer find and prepared a paper on it which he read before the Royal society of Belgium, Froln this paper it appears that in places where the flowers were matted together they still retained their color as we'll as very faint odor.

DR.. CELLS LECTURE
ON HEATHENDON
HIS TRAVELS IN cANNIBAL LANDS
PLEA FOR MISSIONARIES.

MORGANToWN. Oct. 16.-Dr. vii.
liam Edgar Cell, of Philadelphia; well
known as an author and explorer, lee
tured last night in commencement hall
before large audience. He spoke for
an hour and a quarter on The Destruc-
ton of Cannibalism.
DR.. Cell has just returned from
five years trip over the world, most
of the time being spent in those sec.
tions Of the world least known to
civilization.
His lecture was on the foreign mis-
sion fields and was a scientific study
of missions.
During the evening he cOverer Ha-
waii, Samoa, Fiji, China, and Africa,
telling Of these different countries, of
their peoples, and what missions had
done for them. He extolled the mis-
sionary efforts put forth in all those
countries and was most emphatic in
denouncing those who scoff at for
eign missionary work.
One instance of the power of mis-
sionary endeavor he cited in the Fiji
Islands. Forty years ago large,
fat. juicy man could be bought for
81 and one could use him for roasts,
or soups, and no questions were ask
ed. Now the most scrawney, puny
consumptive in these islands could
not be bought for $1.OOO,0OO. This
remarkable change in conditions has
been due altogether to missionaries.
He spoke in most emphatic manner
against the inhuman treatment Of
the Syrian leper who has been buffet
ed about this country recently. He
4aid that the missionaries in foreign
fields cared for leper patients and had
no fear whatever Of the disease,
Or. Cell concluded his lecture by
a brief description Of the pygmies
found in Africa, He became great
friend of those people and they call
him their big white brother He
said 1t was his interest In and love
for these people who made friends
SO easily that led him to deliver this
lecture.

United States Bureau Of Labor Is of
interest at this time for the reason
that 1t shows that wage earners are
obtaining a full share of the unpre.

The Investigations Of the Bureau as
to wages and hours of labor covered

mechanical industries of the United
States for theRstxteen years from
1890 to 1905, and the prices Of food
are given for the same period.
The first years covered by the re,

prosperity when measured by stand.
ards of the past. Then came the de.
preston of 1898 and the succeeding
years followed by the wave OF pros.
perity that is now sweeping over the
country and that is rising constantly
higher. An excellent idea of the effect
of this revival of business on wage
earners is afforded by a comparison
Of the statistics Of 1905 with those OF
1894. Such a comparison shows that
the average wage per hour has in.
creased 21.5 per cent. while the aver
age hours worked per week has de.
creased 3.9 per cent. So that the av-
erage workman, working shorter
hours than in 1894 earns 16.7 per
cent. more per week. During this
same period there has been gener'
EaIi advance in the pi4ses 81 most com,

prices has been much less than the

tho price of food, weighted accord

the families of 2,567 worklngmen, has
amounted to only 1921 per cent, and
