Belgium is literally torn asunder by the rival
claims of the Flemish and the French speaking prov
inces for the official supremacy of their respective
languages OF the population OF near 100000, 81
per cent speak Flemish and the remaining 4S per
cent. French and each moiety insists that It's IAN
guage should be the national tongue. So bitter has
the fight become that the king has even been called
upon in parliament at Brussels to consent to the par
titon Of the country into two separate and indie
pendent states the one embracing the Walloon, or
French-speaking provinces, and the other the Flem
ish provinces each having its own autonomous form
of government, and united only by dynastc ties, In
the person of the sovereign. This fight about the
languages in Belgium is perpetual source OF po-
iitical discussion invading every form and walk in
life and has contributed than anything else to
obstruct legislation, and to interfere with the prog
ress of this amazingly rich little kingdom.

met under the premiership of General Bratlie. In
deed the last general election in Norway was fought
mainly on this issue Of language, and resulted in an
overwhelming victory of the left party, which is
committed To the reform OF the vernacular.
Perhaps the word reform, used in Christiania, is
misleading. For the measure now in process of
adoption is not the revision of the existing language
namely, Danish, butsthe adoption of entirely diff
ferent one, known the Landsmaal 1t was invent
ed toward 1850 by the eminent Norwegian philoogist
Ivar Aasen, who in its construction embodied much
of the ancient Morse of the Sagas well of
the dialects of the remoter regions of the kingdom,
where the peasantry have chung through the four
centuries of Danish domination to the tongue spoken
by their forbears in the days of the Vikings.
Employing these and other materials, adapting
them to modern requirements Ivar Aasen succeeded
in evolving melodous and poetic language
that the vast majority of his countrymen,
Ing with the rural population, have accepted it for
their songs their plays their sermons, their schools,
and their vernacular. 1t has caught their fancy it
appeals to their pride In the romantic past when
sway Of the Morse Vikings extended Scandi-
nayia, northern Germany, Russia, and the greater
portion Of the British sles and it has become denti
fed in their eyes with Norwegian nationalism.
The spurious Danish-in which Ibsen wrote and
which has been the official language Of the Nor
wesians for more than 400 years-recalls to them
those centuries of Danish oppression and persecu-

"Fish with hydrophobia," is the
caption on a report in the German
Anglers News of an extraordinary
mania affecting the huge pike in the
River Sieg and other continents of
the Rhine. The pike rise 10 the sur

excitement, which bears all signs of

SaYE3 LIFE ZY MARRIAGE
Man Whose Goodness Caused Girls
Collapse Weds Her, and All
Is Happiness.

Miss Mildred G. VOORHEES, and
Earl T. Schaacr were married by the
Rev. j. B. Sweet in the belief that
the young woman's marriage was the
only sure method of restoring her
mental balance and saving her life.
She had been at the point of death
since two weeks ago, when Mr.,
SchatTer informed her Of his inten
ton to break their engagement.
The young woman, who was prom
inent in religious and social work, be-
came unconscious at that time, and
when she was aroused was delirious,
calling constantly for her fance. As
a result the doctors insisted that Mr..
Schatfer sit constantly by her bed
side in the hope that if she regained
consciousness his presence would re-
store her mind. She became con-
scious about a week ago, and the
sight of SchatTer seemed to restore
her mind. The physicians then an
nounced that the only certain means
of keeping her from collapsing again
was for him TO keep his promise to
marry her. This he did.-Bingham-

WHY FISH HAVE no EY-LI1S
Unnecessary ~Arpe1taces, and All
Wise Mature Has in Consequence
Eliminated Them.

Have you ever noticed The vacant
stare Of a fish and wondered why
they have no cyclids? If you have
not it will be interesting the next
time you visit an aquarium to note
closely the eyes Of the fish and OBJ
serve how they are compelled, either
in their sleeping or waking hours, to
peer constantly out through the wa
ter.
As a matter Of fact, fish have no
need of cyelids. 1t would be viola
tive Of the economy Of nature for
them to be equipped with such a use
less appendage. In the water there
is no dust to get into the eyes, moth
ing to scratch them or maj them
with blows, and the great cushion of
water that forever surrounds them
protects them from many other dam
gers which confront land animals.
1t will be seen, therefore, that ma
ture did not merely neglect to fit fish
with eyelids, but apparently did so
with the purpose of conserving the
energy that would be needed in
maintaining them for use at some
more important part.

REAL OBJECT OF FEMINlSM
To Make Women Stockholders With
Men In the Business Of Life,
Says Writer.

To meet life undaunted to labor,
to succeed or to fall, as human indi-
yiduals, not by men; to seek their
own success in ~self-chosen, appropri-
ate paths unhampered by laws or
conventions from which men are ex-
empt-these, we take it, constitute
the ultimate object of the revolt of
the women.
And that sums up feminism, con-
sidered as a great instructive human
movement. 1t is another and a very
great step toward the realization of
human freedom. Freeing the women
follows naturally, and in civiliza-
TONS own good time, upon freeing
slaves.
Fcminism, then, is in essence and
feet a spiritual attitude. But it fol-
lows as the night the day that, to be
effective, there is involved the power
as well as the principle Of freedom.

A Sewerage System
W A, DENDY

The city fathers have decided
to submit to the voters the ques-
ton Of issuing bonds to con-
struct a sewerage system in this
city. For some time there has
been talk Of this move and sur
veys have been made to ascer-
tain the cost of such a system.
So the fathers now have the in
formation necessary to enable
them to act intelligently and to
be able to inform the voters just
what they may expect in the
way of increased taxes provided
they decide to invest in this i'm
provement.
To our way Of thinking there
is nothing money could be spent
for that would bring greater re-
turns than for this one purpose.
Present Gay community life in
cities Of this size demand sewer
age as a mere matter of conven-
fence. The general public ex-
Iects to find such public utilities
when they visit a community Of
this size, and it's a very poor
name the community gets when
the absence of these are noted.
Besides, as a matter of santa
ton, such a system would make
a paying investment. Typhoid
fever has been present in this
city nearly all the time for more
than two years. True, not very
many cases have developed be-
cause of the skill with which
they have been handled, yet this
skill has not been sufficient to
stamp out this most dreaded
malady, and it is in the bounds
of the possible that the infection
brought here more than two
years ago has fingered uutil this
good hour, and still fingers.
Had the death and suffering
caused by this one disease dur
ing the last three years beer
caused a accidents ON the Mobile
& Ohio railroad this old reliable
line would have paid out enough
money within this time as dana
ge to have constructed a sewer
age system more than sufficient
to meet the needs of the city
yet we, the people of OkoIona,
lave caused this death and SUI
fering by our own filth, and
many of US feel little or no re
morse for so doing. Each in
dividual, perhaps, feels that he
las done his duty to prevent the
spread of the disease, yet the

lowed this malady to remain
