Volapuk.

A few years ago Volapuk was the
order of the day, and we are only re-
minded of its erstwhile fame by read
ing an account In Paris contempo.
rary of the death Of its founder. He
was an ecclesiastic named Schleyer.
and his method was to constitute a
universal language by borrowing
freely from the Roman and German
tongues. The proposal received a
great deal of attention from serious
writer's. and 1t goes without saying
that it came in for lot of ridicule
The effort might have succeeded had
1t not been for Esperanto. The old
priest watched the rise and decline OF
his proposal. and he lived to see its
fall. The thought that must suggest
itself to all who give the matter con
sideration is: Why should there be a
new language? Why not teach boys
to write Latin as q universal Ian
guage? An effort In this direction Is
being made In Germany.

Motor Maps.

In countries like France. where
roads are good and cross roads nu
merous, travellers by automobile have
frequent occasion to consult road
maps, because they go so fast and
change direction SO often that topo
graphical information is for them, q
continual necessity.
To meet this there has been invent
ed an automatic chart that unrolls IL
step with the advance Of the carriage
SO that the chauffeur has always be
fore him map Of the route he is to
pursue. When the road is about t.
turn sharply an electric bell gives
wafnang 900 meters in advance. An
other attachment to the chart regis
ters the distance traversed. The
whole apparatus is moved by gearing
connected with the wheels Of the au
tomobile.

Death the Great Democrat.

"The man willing to die becomes
the master of the world. This is an
overture of universal emancipation.
1t excludes. no one. The beginning
Of liberty is the discovery of the beau
tifulness and the infinite succor OF
death. There can be no freedom
among men who are afraid to die;
and people to whom success Is nee

York, London, Paris-are provincial;

Unless They are Right,

Just a few words to those desir-
ing mason work done of any kind.
The bottom has fallen out Of the
prices you used to pay. You can
now have your houses plastered
for 8 cents per yard, two coats,
and your sidewalks, the old style
with cheap John bottoms and a
top one-half sand and one-half
cement for Z cents per square foot
or the better one for 10 cents a
foot. That is, made all alike from
the top to the bottom, and no top
to scale off. Get good one once
and you won't have to build again.
Cellars conareted very reasonable
and other kinds Of mason work,
such as stone, brick or concrete
foundations, bungalows, chimneys
and cisterns, so any one can have
a good one and anybody wanting
a square deal call on K. S. Honey
well. / will tell you what 1t L
worth to do your work whether
do the job or not.

Prayer for Country Community.

In the American Magazine the following
letter IS published:
Il see that Professor Rauschenbusch
says. IN the preface TO For God and the
People that he will welcome suggestions
from anyone. AS one who has been great
~ helped by these prayers as published
month by month ia your magazine, L
would Ike, through you, to suggest a
prayer for a country community. 1t might
run something like this:
Our Father, we invoke Thy blessing
on every member of this community. We
thank Thee for the opportunities FOR
healthful work and simple living which
HE IN the country affords us. Help us
to take full advantage Of them. Grant
that we may appreciate the privilege We
enjoy in living and working in the midst
OF the natural beauties with which Thou
hast filled the earth. May our sense of
this beauty not be dulled by use, nor our
work become a monotonous, s~oul-deaden-
ing round, but may our beautiful sur
~roundings be to us new every morning and
fresh every evening. Give to the farmers
or this country a realizing sense OF the
blessing they enjoy in being masters OF
themselves I'm their daily labor. Give them,
too, breadth OF mind to realize the basic
Importance OF the service they perform for
Thy great family OF humanity and to seek
ever new and better methods OF work,
that they may make their service OF the
greatest benefit.
save the women OF the country from
the physical strain of oyerwork. and from
the nervous strain Of loneliness and iso-
lation. Put into the hearts OF the men
or their families a willingness to tighten
their daily burden of toll by the supply
or labor-saying conveniences and by
thoughtful consideration May their labor
be sweetened by the spirit Of love, and
sunobled by the consciousness of the great
service to the world they may perform In
faithfully following their monotonous
round OF daily drudgery."

New Zealand Teaches Justice.

From the Hartford Times.
1t is the fashion In some quarters to
sheer at New Zealand experiments in
government and administration. Wei
established modern politicians natur
ally dislike a system that is meant t.
hamper the activities in which they
delight and find profit. They say tina
at any rate New Zealand is a peCulia.
country and that even IL the theorie!
developed there work well in New
Zealand they are not suitable
for great countries or grea
cities. Yet New Zealand and Australi&
have contributed much to the real ad
vance in the conditions Of popular gov
eminent in this country.
The New Haven Register hits the
point when ii describes the government
there as a government with a con-
science and it makes a fortunate H.
lustratiOn when il compares a recent
event in the United States with 4 Of
a similar nature in New Zealand. In
our case a man had been wrOngfully
convicted of murder, but not sentenced
to death. After serving 20 years in
prison the truth vas established n
the man was 'pardOned.' The state
which had done this great wrong-un-
consciously OF COurSC-COuld do no bet
ter for hin thar to pardon him for a
crime he had never committed. He had
