Linauistic Barriers.

1t is generally accepted that the adoIe tion of universal language. purely spoken. is handicapped by the fact that 1t is confronted with physical imlossi bilities In the first place. the vocal or gans are so entirely dissimilar in differ ent races that language will change too much for the various people using 1t to understand each other. If the Italian language could be given to the Chinese or the Russians 1t would change so that in few years no one would recognize it as the same. This disability may be accounted for by the fact that the people in the chilly north speak with the lips nearly closed and those living in mild climate give free articulation by opening the mouth.

Younq's Impromptu.

To most persons Edward Young Is the author of Might Thoughts" and nothing more. but be was also man of the world and shrewd and caustic wit as well as the rector of St. Mary's church at Welwyn.
 It was there in the garden of the rec tory that he composed some of the best impromptu verses known. He was walking with two ladies when some one summoned him to the house. His companions were agreeable. and he was in no haste to leave them. Turn ing as he reached the gate, he said: Thus Adam looked when from the garden

HORSESHOE CURRENCY.
Curious Shaped Money In Use on the
 West Coast of Africa.

Curious Shaped Money In Use on the
 West Coast of Africa.
 Among the strangest coins in the world are those used in certain out of the way towns and villages in south. west Nigeria, on the west coast of Af rica. and called "manillas."
 In shape they resemble horseshoe with the two extremit1es fattened out like came's foot. Being made of solid copper. three e-eighths of an inch thick, they weigh over eight ounces each. In face value" seven of these queer coins are equivalent to one guar ter, so that dollars worth would be an uncomfortably heavy load.
 Not only are these "manillas' used among the natives. but white traders accept them as legal tender for goods sold at the various stores. at one time this strangely shaped money had quite circulation in certain parts of the coast, but it's use Is now restricted to few bush towns and one or two of the smaller seaboard places. including Bonny. Brass and Akassa.
 "Manillas" are now very difficult to obtain, and curio collectors value them not solely by reason of their scarcity. but because of the novel serviette rings they make when silver plated.-Wide World Magazine.

They Shatter the Nerves of soidisrs
 They Do Not Even Scratch.
 It has been proved that the compara- lively harmless bombarding, so far as wounds are concerned, of a besieged town Is terribly demoralizing to the bravest men.
 When shell bursts near a group of twenty men 1t may kill one and wound two. while the remaining seventeen es- cape without a scratch. It will be found, however, that many of these are never the same men again. No matter how iron nerved they were be- fore, they are now irresolute and timid and all their faculties are weak. ened. Very often they are jeered at by their comrades because of this change But this is utterly unjust-fn fact their brains and spinal cords have been injured by being violently shaken against the walls of their bony cavities.
 The same thing occurs in railway collisions. People who were robust be come quite feeble and nervous, though they may not have received a scratch
 This curious state in the case of sol diers is well recognized by doctors un der the name of the mental injuries of explosives. The injuries are really quite as physical as shattered leg, for they consist of kind of bruising of the very delicate tissue of the spinal cord and brain.-London Standard.

of islander and calumny. They scorn the niceties of human intercourse. These very Japanese themselves, 70 scrupulous of courtesy to brave foe, are caricatured in Germany as mon- keys and nick-named "yellow-bellies."
 But we shouldn't be too severe on the Japanese. Just give them time. If they associate long enough with the Christian nations of the Occi- dent, they may outgrow this heredi- tary taint of chivalry-Ex.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1915.
OUTDOORS.

Maybe we have been exaggeratin=, the hardships of the soldiers on the firing line in one respect, at least. French physicians say that the worst suffering of wounded men occurs the first night after they reach the hos pital, and that it is caused chiefly by the intolerable confinement of sleeping indoors after weeks or months spent altogether in the open air.
 It is the common experience of ex- plorers that when they return to the comforts" of civilized life they feel cramped and suffocated by four walls, and even walking through city streets seems to hinder their free breath.
 The cold and rain of the battle zones are disagreeable; but if the cold is not too intense and the wet ness is not too prolonged, men seem to thrive under them. Working or fighting in the free, open air and sleeping under the stars is a whole some business, as long as man avoids getting shot. And no doubt the enforced fresh-air life is large ly responsible for the amazingly rap id recovery of most of the wounded. It is observed, too, that the poten. tial curative effect of fresh-air life increases with the length of time spent outdoors. Hardened veter- ans" get over their injuries quicker than recruits. Scottish Highlanders and French soldiers from the Alpine districts are discharged from the hos pital long before soldiers from cities or mines are cured.
 This is obviously powerful argu- ment for open windows, sleeplng porches, ventilated cars and outdoor exercise, but doubtless most of us will continue our customary opposition to fresh air-Ex

Turks Burning Villages.

PETROGRAD, Jan. 29-The reports reaching here from Asia Minor are to the effect that the Turkish troops are slaughtering men, women and children in the villages in southern Caucasus. Villages are being burned and the privation of the inhabitants has been frightful.
 Deny German Report.
 The Russian general staff denies the report from Berlin to the effect that the Russian offensive in East Prussia and central Poland have been dropped to meet the enemy's Galician operations. The staff insist that the Russians continue to pound away at the German line in Poland and Prus- sia and are meeting with success.

CHIVALRY IN WARFARE.

Japan still has much to learn about civilized warfare. That benighted country, in it's conflict with Ger many, has shown little conception of the military methods of enlightened nations. The belligerent Jap betrays a most absurd respect for alien life and property. He cant seem to get it through his head that morals and courtesy have no place in modern war.
 When the Mikado's government po- litely advised" Germany to give up her Chinese stronghold of Tsingtau, it permitted the German merchant vessels in Japanese ports to get away safely instead of seizing them as prizes. When Tsingtau was captur- ed, and lantern processions were held in every big city in the empire to celebrate the victory, the authorities saw to it that no demonstrations were made in front of German shops and houses. The paraders in some cases avoided whole streets in order to avoid humiliating the German res idents.
 Throughout the war the Germans in Japan have been as free as ever to transact business and go where they pleased. German teachers and professors in the schools and colleges have continued their work without hindrance, and the ministry of educa- tion has ordered the students to be particularly careful to show them no lack of respect. There are no pris- on camps for the enemy. There s no discrimination whatever against Germans.
 Japan should know better than this, after half a century of contact with Christian civilization. Certainly in the present war she has had no lack of excellent examples of how bellig. erent nations should treat each oth' 1T. Does she see any such chivalric behavior in Great Britain, Germany, Russia and the rest? These Chris. tian peoples know how war should be waged. They destroy each others commerce, they kill non-combatants, they pen up in concentration camps alien civilians who happen to be with in their borders, they refuse to pay debts due innocent individuals of a hostile nation, they discriminate against all of the enemy's blood, ev' en among their own citizens, to the second and third generations. They hate, and they preach hatred. They reinforce their guns with broadsides
