South Berwick and Eliot seem to
have some rivalry in regards to
which town has the oldest buildings.
The Jewett mansion of South Ber-
wick. the home of Sarah Orne Jewett,
a writer Of some note, who wrote The
Tory Lover, Strangers and Wayfar-
ers, ETC.. was built by John Higgens
in 1774, and today, although 145 years
old, it is in the finest state of preser-
vation. 1t is situated in the central
part of the business section Of the
town, surrounded by beautiful
grounds, and shaded by some fine old
and well preserved trees.
Theodore F. Jewett, an old sea cap
tain, together with William Jewett,
were managers of system of trade
doing business with ships in the West
Indian trade. The Jewett mansion
came into the possession OF Theodore
F. Jewett some 80 years ago, and is
stiIl in possession of the Jewett FAM
lily, Miss Mary Jewett being the pres
ent occupant.
The interior of this building is in
the same shape and finish as when
built, all hand worked finish and
beautiful stairways, and on some of
the rooms the same wall paper that
was placed there in 1890. 1t is very
doubtful if the wall paper mahufac-
turers of today could Manufacture
paper that would stand such a test.

Beach correspondent of the Courier
Gazette. It is hard to find the stake
and stones 20 (and in some cases
over 50) years after the lines are run
off. It is a very common thing to
get 80 or 40 feet away from ones
line and cut wood that doesn't be-
long to you. In fact I have known
the old-timers to build stone walls
more than so feet over on the other
fellows land, and nothing much said
about it.

Scientific Discussions
by Garrett P. Serviss

There is again much talk about
the adoption. or creation. OF an in
ternational language" and we are
told by the advocates of such
schemes that never before has the
civilized world been so greatly in
need OF a common language, to be
read. spoken and written with equal
ease on every side OF the globe.
It surely would be a great con-
vcnience to have such a language in
universal use, After 1t had once
spread all over the earth It would
be as easy to acquire as is what we
now call ones native tongue" for
then 1t would itself be a native
tongue for everybody, and in some
cases 1t would probably drive the
local language into the background,
If not into a state of virtual ex-
tinction. like that OF the present
dead languages" of whose dis
jecta membra the colleges and uni
versities seem so anxious to dis
embarrass themselves.
To be of the greatest possible use
the international language would
need to be learned, as indigenous
languages always are, during child
hood. and, that being the case, there
would be instances in which the for

the requirement of two languages at
the same time demanding too much
mental effort and too great an cx-
penditure of time.
There would thus come to be, in
various lands, a literary language
treasured by the native inhabitants,
and also a world tongue, a mere
linguistic machine, without artistic
value, in use by everybody. This
would be the inevitable result II the
international language were a manu-
factured article. such as. for instance.
'-volapuk," having no literary past.
OF the three rival plans that have
been proposed, 1t seems to me that
the third is the only one that is
likely ever to be carried out Here
are the three:
(1) Make a new language, either
out of whole cloth or by stitching
together fragments of old ones
This is the 'volapuk" plan, a typi-
cally German product
tz) Select one of the old dead"
languages, such as Latin. and give
II some undermining touches. This
plan appears to be favored in Italy.
(3) Take one of the modern "Iiy-
ing" languages, and make no changes
in IT that are not really necessary.

guage would have q great advantage
in the fact that those who. for lack
of time. or other reasons, failed to
acquire the native language OF their

language would still be in possession

those who acquired both would have
