Benual and Its Lanuuaue.

The people Of Bengal number seven
ty millions and boast Of perhaps the
best culture in India at the present
time. The language as a written lam
guage is only fifty years old. Though
for over thousand years 1t has been
dialect. there Is In Indian history
unfortunately no trace of Bengali hav-
ing been an important literary tongue.
The language originates from San
skirt. the mother tongue from which
every other Indian language has Dor
rowcd its alphabet, grammar and vo-
cnbulary; but. unlike others. Bengal
never shrinks from gathering new ma
terials. There are numerous Persian
French. Arabic and English words in
corporated In it. and the wonder of it
is that, instead of having been de-
graded into some vulgar form like pid-
gin English, Bengal has become the
most literary, scientific and perhaps
the most philosophic of modern Indian
languages.

North British Manners,

Travelled upon the top Of car the
other evening, says correspondent in
the Glasgow News. with man who
seemed to have strong views upon the
subject of good manners and polite ad-
dress. He was accompanied by his
daughter. pretty little girl of about
five years of age, who was thirsting
for information.
The proud parent was explaining at
some length that car conductors do not
retain the whole contents of their bags
for their own personal use, when the
little girl interrupted him with an In
terrogative "Eh?"
"Wha' learned you tae say 'eh'Y"
asked the father In reproving tones
when you don't hear whit onybody
says you should not say 'eh'; it's no
polite; you should say-'whit'

True. 1t does sometimes seem as If
the world were going to the bad, II
we judge from the daily news. But
we must consider the enormous in.
crease In population. the fact that
many are running to and fro;" that
there is no corner of the earth so dark
or distant that the searchlight of mod
ern enterprise does not find it out
and explore 1t: that human nature re-
mains unchanged amid all these chang
ing conditions, retaining still its weak
nesses and passions as well as its
grand and noble impulses
To sum 1t all up:
This world Is not so bad world
AS some would like to make It;
But, whether good or whether bad,
Depends on how we take 1t.
And, taking 1t from the viewpoint Of
one feminine mind, there was never a
generation better worth living in than
the generation of today. Mary f.

Along Life and a Broad One.

An English doctor recently said that
ambition to live to great old age isn't
a good one and doubted whether con-
slant efforts to lengthen the average
life are for the good of the race. He
apparently favors n short life and a
merry one. Perhaps 1t isn't long life
that makes the world happy. but broad
life. Thirty full, energetic years may
be better than sixty years of common
place drudgery. But why not sixty
full, energetic years? Who knows
what the world loses when man dies
at thirty? So much has been accom-
plished by men who have reached sixty
and even seventy and eighty that it
seems good policy to keep all persons
on earth as long as possible. The
man who honestly disapproves efforts
to prolong life Is rarity and 1t Is
lucky for the world that he is.-Savan-
