A Nation With No Language.

The Swiss alone, of all the peoples of the world, may in a sense be said to possess no language, fact that is the more surprising when we consider that there is no people showing more in- tense patriotism.
 The official languages of the little re public are French and German The public documents are published in these tongues, both of which are spoken by many Swiss. Roughly speaking, how ever, about 75 per cent of the popula- tion speak German, while the remain der divide four other languages among them, mainly French and Italian. These tongues vary, as rule, accord ing to the proximity of the people to the country whose language they speak. In the Swiss parliament members de- liver their speeches either in French or German, for nearly all the members understand both tongues.

Paper From Wood PuIo.

The idea of making paper from wood originated in Germany in the early forties with Gettfried Keller, tradition having 1t that he in turn received his inspiration from wasps' nest. Keller colIaborated with a manufacturer of machinery, Heinrich Voelter, in whose name the patents were executed.
 It was not until 1886 that the pos abilities of this invention in this coun- try were recognized, when Albrecht and Rudolf Pagenstecher induced their cousin, Alberto Pagenstecher, to build a mill in this country and financed the purchase of machinery and the build ing of mill.
 The choice of location fell to Curtis vile, now Interlaken, Mass, where the outlet of Stockbridge bowl seemed to supply an adequate amount of power. The mill was built and on March 5, 1867, the first ground wood pulp was produced. York Globe.

poina it tlre Riqht Way.

For every right way to do thing there are ninety-nine wrong ways.
 Take the apparently single matter of loading sugar in cars or putting it in storage houses. The difference be- tween any one of the ninety-nine wrong ways and the one right way is a sufficient reason for the worlds big gest sugar company to issue book about it.
 An amateur wouldn't dream there could be so much science in rolling 15O barrels of sugar in a box car. But this little book. filled with diagrams, is a school of instruction for all em- ployees. There they learn to do it the right way and to avoid the ninety nine wrong ones.
 The fellow who learns to load sugar the right way soon finds out that the thing contains higher mathematics, chemistry and finance
 The American people eat just about their own weight fin sugar in year, and even the tiniest saving on each pound achieved by this scientific han ding is quite enough to pay all salaries
