But they went first to the parasol
counter, where Uncle Jack bought an

two. You need them to match dresses
as much as Marion does. And to think
that you've 'a-wishcd and a-wished for

even guessed it,!
Then they found mother and told her
all about it. And as Elossie, sitting up
very straight in Mrs. Andrews car

girl in all the world was so rich and so
happy as herself
But she did not guess for good
many years that Uncle Jack paid for

An International LANGUAGE

For considerable number OF years,
linguists have been striving to formu-
late and adopt an international Ian
guage, which shall fill the place that
Latin held so long and so honorably
but which shall be far less complicated
in its structure and far easier in its &C
QUESTION. Esperanto is the latest re-
suit Of such desire and effort, and its
adherents claim for it all the requisites
of universal language--its vowel
sounds are known everywhere; its ac-
centuatlon and rules are regular, and
its plan OF word formation and SEN
tencc construction is simple.
The language was begun, rs years
ago, by DR.. Gamenhof, of Warsaw,
who devoted himself to it for nearly
six years before publishing his first
book. Interest in the language and
knowledge OF it have grown slowly but
steadily. At the present time, it is
said that there exist three hundred Or
gained societies, twenty Esperanto
journals and thousands OF classes and
individual students. Among the parti-
sans OF the language are persons of all
sorts and ondtions-soldierS sailors,
business men, mechanics, teachers,
writer's, preachers. Many advocates
of International Peace, are advocates
OF Esperanto. The members Of the
Red Cross Society endorse it; Social
lists and Christian EndeavOrers alike,
commend it; the London Chamber OF
Commerce advises it. At a convention
held last Autumn, in Geneva, repre-
scntatives were present from every

country from Iceland to South Africa
Last Friday an interesting debate
occurred i'll the United State, Senate
as to whether the phraseology War OF
the Rebellion is the correct nomcn-
claturc ior that grievoua strife. Aiter
various opinions had been freely eX-
pressed, the questionable words were
eXpunged from the Bill, then pending,
and Tor them, was substituted the term
Civil War" to be pcrpctually used in
such connection.
The Southern States have always OBJ
jectcd to the term, Rebels" as APP
piled to themselves, because its use
seemed to imply denial OF the consti-
tutional right OF the Confederate States
to withdraw from a Union OF States,
into which, each had voluntarily enter
ed. AS a matter of history, this right
was not denied or questioned in the
early days OF the Republic, and the act
OF secession was seriously considered
and openly threatened by some oi the
New England States

FIOsSie's
"Besf Wish"
BY ANNA DEMING GRAY.

1t seemed to Flossie that she had
longed for il for years and years.
Every birthday and every Christmas
she hoped that somebody would think
OF it. She never watched one gy tlut-
tcring by in the hands OF happy little
maid, that she did not give sigh OF
ecstasy and longing Aunt Marion had
no less than three herself, to match
her different dresses.
And yet with three big brothers,
mother, father, grandmother, Uncle
Jack and Aunt Marion to give her
things, FloSsic had grown almost to
the age OF SIX years without owning
one. She was quite sure that lew little
girls had so large or 50 delightful a
family, yet none OF them had ever
guessed this wish hidden away i'll the
heart OF the little girl with the thistle
down hair, which had won for her the
pet name OF l'lossc. 1t was strange
that she did not tell some OF them
about il, but she did not. For you
just can't hint to folks about presents
she reasoned to herself. That wouldn't
be a mite nice. But il ever do grow
up and be a young lady with my hair
done up high. and have a watch and a
hopra glass, like Aunt Marion, the very
first thing I'm going to do is to buy

They will feel that after all, It is
