THE ONE GUIDE POST.

When the fathers reared the fabric
Of their little republic here in the
new world wilderness, with the equal
ity of men as its foundation, there
was not a state anywhere which
rested on that principle. On the con-
trary, 1t was denied by every other
nation. A few philosophers had
dreamed Of such a country, but 1t
had no existence outside of books
until adopted here.
And it was not put in practise even
here until years after it had been
proclaimed as the ideal toward which
the infant republic was striving. There
was no political equality in any one
Of the 13 original states, and negro
slavery continued for 80 years to
mock the first principle of the Declara-
tion of independence. But 1t stood.
and It ever stands, as the guidepost
on our only path toward progress. We
have denied 1t and turned back: de,

BABY LANGUAGE MADE STUDY
Declaration by Expert win Make Him
Unpopular With the Fond
Mother.

Baby language is the latest study.
The child first uaes its voice, says an
expert, to exprenH hunger. temper and
feelings Of pleasure. Noises alone
suffice for such expression. Then the
baby utilizes its voice as a plaything,
and afterward as a recognized mode
Of expression.
Trilling Of lips takes place only at
teething time. Gradually there is less
variety of sounds, as the child learns
definite associations with definite
sounds. Some little people can hum
tunes perfectly, yet are too young to
pronounce the accompanying words.
On the other hand, they are often
credited with words they never say.

strongly the need Of legislation and

The secretary said:
"our citizens have been drowned

cause the United States government

secretary said the plan of discovering
rocks by running vessels on them was
still IN vogue and had become such a
common practice that rocks we're
commonly named after the steamers
which hit them.
