Value of Language.

Language Is the amber in which n thousand precious and subtle thoughts have been safely embedded and pre- served. It has arrested ten thousand lightning flashes of genius, which, un- less thus fixed and arrested, might have been as bright, but would have also been as quickly passing and per- lshing as the lightning. Far more and mightier in every way. is langua$e than any one Of the works which may have been composed in it. For thRt work, great as 1t may be, at best ern- bodies what was fin the heart and mind of a single man, but this of Q nation. The "Iliad" is great, yet not so great in strength or power or beauty as the Greek language. Paradise Lost" is n noble possession for people to have inherited, but the English tongue is a nobler heritage yet.-Trcnch.

ZACH GIRLS RAIL WAY WORK

Fourteen young women have been Zen into the construction department |the Santa Fe railr6ad,. and are be- ] paid $50 month while the rail- fd trains them to become efficient kughtslmen and construction engi- fgs.
 This radical step has been taken by
 railroad because of the large num- l of engineers who have been called assist the government war work. D s. Rice, assistant engineer of con- hction, says ofsthe innovation:
 Thirty-sevep years of practical ex- ience during which time I have ex- imented more than once, has taught
 that if the right kind of a girl is en chance she will make good, ny girls who are drudging away IT. lives behind counters should be ding better positions. Usually the pale is of finer clay than the male

 Technically trained men often fail practice. Human weakness is just

Personality.

The two great obstacles to the healthy development of personality are jealousy and fear, and they are as high and terrible in business ns in any other department of life's activi- ties. So long as man harbors envy for any one of his fellows, more es- pecially his competitor in business, so long will he be devoid of that elixir which personality advertises. Being jealous of some other man does not harm the other man; it only injures the jealous one. Ard if the jealousy be openly expressed, the extent of the damage increases, whilst the object of the envy receives an addition of benefit and value for himself through the gratuitous advertisement. A man occupied ill envying another is using up power which he could better apply for his own progression.-Exchange.
