A Nation With No Language.

The Swiss alone, Of all the peoples
Of the world, may in 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 IS per cent Of the popula-
ton 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.

When "oId Women Abounded.

In the eighteenth century women
soon grew old, says an English writer
At the age Of twenty-nine Marie An
toinette, the wife of Louis XVI, grave
~ discussed the question with her
modiste, Rose Berth. She would soon
be thirty. Her idea was to change her
manner Of dress, which inclined too
much to that Of extreme youth. In
consequence she should wear no more
flowers or feathers. The glorious
Georgiana, the duchess Of Devonshire,
complained to the French ambassador
that she was already seven and TWEEN
ty years old Consider" said the
glorious one, what an age that isr'
to which the ungallant ambassador re-
piled that '1in France at seven and
twenty a woman was considered elder

Papsr From Wood Pulp.

The idea Of making paper from WOOD
originated In Germany In the early
forties with Gottfried Keller, tradition
having It that he in turn received his
inspiration from a wasps' nest Keller
elaborated with a manufacturer OF
machinery, Heinrich Voelter, In whose
name the patents were executed
II was not until 1896 that the pos
sibilities Of this invention In this coun-
try were recognized, when Albrecht
and Rudolf Pagenstecher induced their
cousin, Alberto Pagenstecher, to build
a min In this country and financed the
purchase of machinery and the build
ing Of q 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 8,
1867, the first ground wood pulp was
produced.-New York Globe

~M.dr6L Not SO Ancient.

Madrid Is not a city Of great an
tiouity. Many efforts, It Is true, have
been made to trace its history back
into classical times and even beyond,
but the first authentic mention OF the
town occurs In the Arab chronicles.
and this does not carry one back far
Their than the first half Of the tenth
century. The place was, Of course,
occupied by the Moors when they were
the dominant power Of Spain, but was
finally taken from them by Alfonso
vi. In 1888. Henry ~. used It as
hunting seat, but 1t did not attain any
Importance until the reign Of Charles
", who made 1t place Of residence
and was wont to visit 1t occasionally.
It was In the reign Of Philip II. that
at last it attained to the dignity Of a
capital city. He created It bis capital
and unica corte, or only court, In 1880.
and 1t has remained the capital OF
Spain ever since In spite Of occasional
efforts on the part Of sundry kings to
transfer the government to Valladolid
and Seville.-National Geographic So

PHONES FUNERAL SERMON.
Preached at Long Distance Because
Storm Held Up Railways.

Fond du Lac, Wis. funeral by
long distance telephone was conduct
ed the other day when the body Of the
Rev. Frank Millar Of Oakfeld was sent
to its last resting place through the
drifts about the village where Mr.. Mil
lar had been pastor.
The storms tied up all railroads lead
ing to Oakfeld from here, a branch line
OF few miles in length, and with the
main line in trouble no effort was
made to resume traffic. The country
roads were also drifted so deep that
the village and countryside adjoining
had been isolated for half a month.
The Rev. Robert s. Ingraham of this
city was to conduct the services over
the body Of his Methodist colleague,
Ingraham being the district superin-
tendent. Trying to reach Oakfeld by
road, he was stalled and worked his
way back to the nearest farmhouse,
where he arranged to read the service
by wire. A listener at the Millar home
took his words and repeated them to
the mourners.

Rldht Way.

For every right way to do a thing
there are ninety-nine wrong ways.
Take the apparently single matter OF
loading sugar In cars or putting 1t In
storage houses. The difference be-
tween any one Of the ninety-ntne
wrong ways and the one right way Is
a sufficient reason for the worlds big
eest sugar company to issue a book
about 1t.
An amateur wouldn't dream there
could be- so much science In rolling 1oO
barrels of sugar in a box car. But
this little book, filed with diagrams,
is a school of instruction for all en-
ployees. There they learn to do 1t
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 In sugar In year,
and even the tiniest saving on each
pound achieved by this scientific ham
ding is quite enough to pay all salaries
and leave q snug margin to boot.-Gi-
rard In Philadelphia Ledger.

the fund of $4,000 for the construc'

International hospital has been com
pleted at a luncheon given by the Jap
anese advisory council. The japanese
contributed $4,000, including $25,OOC
from Emperor Yoshihito. The remain

pledged in the United States.
The proposed hospital will replace
the present st. Luke's hospital, which
was founded by the American Episco-
pal mission many years ago and which
has achieved a reputation throughout
the far east. DR.. r. B. Teusler, les
present director, will have charge OF
the enlarged institution, work upon
which will be started as soon as a
proper site is decided upon. The hos
pital will be international In scope
1t Is hoped later to add a training de,
partment for doctors and for nurses
and to that end an effort will be made
to secure further assistance In the
United States.
The proposed hospital will probably
be the most complete modern medical
institution in the far east.

RULING FAVORS TEACHERS.
Justice Levy Sets Basis of Pay @Dock-
inq" For Absence.


New Observation-Disclosures absent
from work in the past have been
"docked" one-twenty-ffth of a months
pay for each day lost. Justice Aaron
]. Levy of the municipal court ruled
that the proper basis is to deduct 1865
Of a years pay for each days absence.
His decision was returned In the case
Of Mary 4. Broughton, teacher In
public school 1913, who lost eleven
days work because Of illness In Octo-
Der, 1915. The decision also holds the
signing of receipt for pay ''in full
is no bar to action for recovery.
The battle is an old one which the
teachers and principals have been
waging against the board of education.
Years ago they were "docked" only
one-thirtieth of a months pay for each
day lost.
William G. Wilcox, president Of the
board, pointed out that under the Levy
ruling the teacher could be absent 100
days, full school year, and still de
mand almost half years pay.

the Pacific about midway between
Panama and New Zealand, is to re-
ceive mail from the United States

steamship Australplain will sail from
New York on or about March 10, 1917.

land, being due to arrive there within
twenty-five days Of the date Of sailing.
He issues this notice in order that the
patrons OF the postal service may take
advantage of this unusual opportunity
for the expeditions dispatch OF mail
for the place named"
1t is not likely that the mail to Pit
cairn island will be heavy one, since
only one Pitcairn islander, Miss Emily
Mccoy, has ever visited the United
States to make friends here. Miss
Mccoy left the island about fifteen
years ago to study nursing. Probably
she will be the only person in the
United States to whom the mail serv-
ice to Pitcairn island will be Of inter-
est. There are about 10 men, women
and children on the island.

however, its disadvantages. In one

The Greek killed troops, the Evzones,
bear a variant Of a name which was
given to troops in the days Of ancient
Greece. Euzonoi, meaning well girdled
and so grit up for exercise as Killed
men are, were light troops or even the
heavily armed hoplitai, but without
their weighty shields. At first, how
ever, the term, as in Homer, was used
only regarding women, the zone" be-
ing the lower girdle worn by them
about the waist, but by an easy and
natural transition this came to mean
a mans belt Then, as the belt sup
ported the short skirts, killed men
were called well belted.

Ruth Cruger, pretty high school girl,
was sought by the police. Leaving her
home, happy and contented, she was
swallowed up in the swirl Of the great
city and no clews to her whereabouts
had been unearthed. Because her fam
lily is of prominence and because Of her
fathers insistence the case was widely
discussed and given much publicity,
but the case Of Ruth Cruger was only
one Of hundreds.
Every year there are $500 missing
persons In New York, according to po-
lice estimates Most of the missing
persons are girls-pretty, happy girls.
youthful and Of good home training.
They are swallowed in the highways
and byways of the mammoth city.
Most Of them never return, and the
public hears Of the disappearance Of
but very few.
Dorothy Arnold went shopping on
Fifth avenue one afternoon in 1910.
No one saw her leave a certain shop

answered an advertisement. Her bat
tered little body was found days later,
and a ne'er do well, WOlter, was later

The hacked up body of Anna Aumul-
