The Trogreee of Volapah*
It I* ft very interesting fact that th®
world language, Volapuk, ia not only
coming to be spoken conversationally by
its enthusiastic votaries, but is to be
made a medium of interlingual commu-
nication at the World's Columbian fair.
A complete record of progress made in
spreading Volapuk since that delightful
national convention of its votaries was
held in Boston, considerably more than
a year ago, would astonish all but the
fevr who keep closest watch on the move-
ment. A significant circumstance is
that recently the Young People's Society
of Christian Endeavor of the People'*
church, Boston, formally adopted Vola-
puk as a study for that organization,
and a class of forty members (expected
to double shortly) was formed, to meet
each Monday evening in the church's
reading room for instruction.
Other noteworthy instances are as fol-
lows: The peoplo of Newton, quite
their own request, are to have a lecture
on Volapuk under the auspices of a
ladies' association there. Salem and
Gloucester are to have lectures in Janu-
ary, and the interest all over the coun-
try is similarly manifested. Newspaper
lessons, published simultaneously all
over the maritime provinces, Canada
and the United States, have been given
weekly since Oct. 10. The students
write out the exercises of the lessons and
Bend them to convenient points, as desig-
nated, for annotation, and immense

"After the train had progressed half
way to Dover one man in the compart-
ment said: D—n this railway service.
Here 1 got a headache, the first in my
life, through the ventilation.' Another
also complained of a headache, and by
the time we reached Dover there were
seven very ill men in the compartment.
"I was ill, too, but I knew the cause.
It was the fumes of nitroglycerin.
"At Dover as we got on the boat there
was another narrow escape. A stupid
porter seized the Gladstone bag and
tried to balance it on his head. I res-
cued it in time.
"We got aboard the boat at Calais all
right, and I sat pensively watching that
infernal bag, which rested quietly, as if
it had not been fiiled with dynamite
enough to blow up the ship, within ten
feet of me. The passage, thank heaven,
at i was smooth, but I felt pretty well done
up. I left the bag ard walked down into
the cabin thinking of the custom house
officers who were awaiting us on the
other side. At last I saw a man—an in-
terpreter, a Frenchman—and I decided
to make him help me. I sat down in
the cabin and began to weep—it isn't
hard if you know how. He said, 'Does
monsieur require anything? I looked
up, wiped away my tears and told him
my sorrow.
"It was to the effect that my wife was
dying in Paris. She had telegraphed
me, and I was about to soothe her last
moments by my presence. Ho became

The Spread of Influenzae
Tho outbreak of influenza is spreading
fast, with its customary concomitant of
a highly increased mortality from res-
piratory affections. In the metropolis,
for one week, thirteen deaths were at-
tributed primarily to influenza, the total |
death rate being 19.9 per 1,000, or slight-
ly less than the preceding week. It may
be noted that the death rate at Plymouth
for the week ending Nov. 28 was 38.3,
or precisely double what it was three
weeks previously. There has also been
a rise in the death rates of Newcastle-
on-Tyne and Sunderland. Influenza con-
tinues to be very prevalent in Scotland;
it has appeared in a severe form at
Sandy, one of the isles of Orkney. In
Glasgow it is said that it has never been
so widespread and severe as at the pres-
ent time, and almost the same is true of
Edinburgh. In both places the resources
of the profession have been severely
taxed.
Abroad the accounts are of like im-
port. At Berlin it has been prevailing
during the past month. It has been
very severe at Hamburg and Dusseldorf,
and is also spreading rapidly in the Sile-
sian provinces and Schleswig-Holstein.
It has appeared again in Paris, where
Professor Brouardel has stated that it
was responsible for 100 deaths during
one week. The Australian mails bring
accounts of the deaths of several promi-
nent Melbourne citizens from influenza,
and our New Zealand correspondent
also speaks of its prevalence.—London

Gallantly Rescued.
Five days ago pretty Kittie M. Hall,
of Mayliews. aged eighteen, came to
Sacramento. At a social party she me*
Edward J. Farmer, a prepossessing
young man of twenty-one. The liking
was mutual. Miss Hall said she had
left homo temporarily to avoid the im-
portunities of an aged lover, who was
distasteful to her, though favored by
her parents because of his financial
ability.
"I'll help you out of your difficulty,"
said the gallant young man.
"How?" she asked.
"I'll marry you myself, if you say the
word."
She flushed shyly, asked for a minute
in which to reflect, gave him permission
to obtain a license and became Mrs.
Farmer.
The ancient suitor arrived soon after
the ceremony was performed. He went
straight to the county clerk's office, and
when informed of what had happened
said, with some show of chagrin, "That
settles it," and walked out.
Farmer and bride were invisible. He
is a clerk in a dry goods store on a mod-
est salary.—Cor. San Francisco Chron-
icle.
Area of the Canudiao Dominion.
In the last issue of the Statisti-
cal Year Book of Canada, com-
piled by Mr. Sydney C. D. Roper
of the statistics branch of the de-
partment of agriculture, we find that
the total area of the dominion is com-
puted to be 3,456,383 square miles. In
this estimate 140,736 square miles are
assigned to water and 3,315,647 to land
surface. The table which yields this
total is said to be an entirely new one,
having been specially prepared at the
request of the compiler of the Year
Book by the Topographical Survey
branch of the department of the in-
terior.
"The measures have all," we are told,
"been made anew and checked, and
may be depended on, in so far as war-
ranted by the present geographical
knowledge of the country. No change
will be made in these figures unless
based upon new information." As this
is a question on which there has been a
good deal of discussion and much differ-
ence of opinion, it is satisfactory to
receive this assurance from what we
may regard as tho highest official and
professional authority.—Montreal Ga
zette.
Dr. Taluiage's New Year's Maxims.
Make it the best year of all your life—
the brightest, the happiest and the best.
Imbue your heart with the freshness of
the morning, your soul with the sparkle
of the dawn. Resolve by good deeds
and thoughts to make this the most tri-
umphant year of your life. As a series
of short maxims to carry with you
through this year, let me give you these:
Make every day begin and end with
God.
Be content with what you have.
Have a hearty, joyful family altar in
your domestic circle.
Fill your home with as much good
reading and bright music as your means
will allow.
Think ill of none, but well of all.
If fortune favors you, think of others.
Don't sham; be real.
Keep busy and yon will keep healthy.
Respect all sacred things.
Love God.—Dr. Talmage in Ladies'
Home Journal.
Something That Has Keen Needed.
For some time past the public have
been looking for an adjustable grille,
with shelf attachment, upon which to
place bric-a-brac, the whole to be ar-
ranged over windows or doorways to re-
lieve this portion of a room, which is
usually dependent upon a curtain pole.
The great trouble has always been that
they had to be made to order, as win-
dows and doors vary in width. Now,
however, a device is made narrow enough
to go into the narrowest doorway. It is
in two sections, running upon a sliding
top bar. By drawing these pieces apart
they can be extended to the width of
the door, and the open place left in the
center of them is furnished with a short
drapery.—Philadelphia Upholsterer.
Death in a Big City.
The shadows of metropolitan life could
scarcely have a more ghastly illustra-
tion than in the case of the corpse of the
old man at a Greenwich street window
staring into the windows of the elevated
cars for two days, the butt of the train-
men's Christmas time humor. A little
while before was the killing and man-
gling of another man on the elevated al-
most immediately opposite a window
where sat his wife and child looking in-
nocently out and wondering who it was
being carried away under the protecting
blanket.
We are wont to look upon the extraor-
dinary situations created by the novelist
and playwright with satirical severity,
bat the pen of Sue, Dumas, Dickens and
of a host of imitators never conjured np
from imaginations vivid with research
and practical observation a more pa-
thetically impressive picture than is pre-
sented in the dead man at the Greenwich
street window. Yet such things are so
common in New York that they are
swallowed np in the great maelstrom of
metropolitan events—forgotten in ft day.
—New York Herald.
Tlie Boys Did the Job.
An East Dover (Me.) fanner had a
mare something over 20 years old, and
not thinking it advisable to winter
her, spoke to some boys to take her out,
shoot her and bury her for a money con-
sideration. Boys No. 1 and 2 did the
job all right, but No. 3, not knowing the
mare had been killed, went the follow-
ing day to the farmer's barn, and find-
ing an animal in the stable, took him
out and led him down to a piece cf
woods, shot and buried him. Imagine
the farmer's surprise on coming home to
find that boy No. 3 had shot and buried
a nice 5-year-old, worth in the neighbor-
hood of |300.—Boston Transcript.
Big Coon, Big Tree, Small Man.
A party consisting of D. M. Rawlins,
H. C. Brown and others, of Brown's
Mill, went out coon hunting the other
night and caught the largest coon and
cut down the largest tree yet on record.
The coon weighed twenty-seven pounds
and the tree was nearly fifteen feet
across the stump. The tree was very
hollow, and Mr. Nathan Singletary, who
is not a very large man, went into the
hollow of the tree and came out at a
knot hole.—Cor. Atlanta Constitution.
immediately interested and begged me
to cheer np. I agreed to do so on condi-
tion that he would join me in a bottle of
champagne, which ho did gladly. As
we walked I slipped two Napoleons into
his hand and saul:
"Now, I want to get away quick on
the first train. I've nothing but a satchel,
and don't want to be detained by the
customs house at Calais. Can you ar-
range matters? He swore that he would
and kept his word. When the boat
landed my satchel was carried trium-
phantly ashore on the shoulders of my
friend, the interpreter, and 1 passed the
customs house without a moment's de
lay.
"And so wo went to Paris—the Glad-
stone bag, filled with nitroglycerin, and
myself—and in course of time arrived
at the Gare de Nord. I hailed a passing
cab and directed the driver to my a<l
dress, but cautioned him to avoid the
rough streets on the journey. Like all
Parisian hackmen, he did just the oppo-
site till I stopped him. 'My friend,' said
I, 'do you know what's in that satchel
you have between your legs on tho box':
Well, sir, there's enough dynamite to
blow your whole outfit to the devil, and
if you don't drive quieter the chances
are against you.' You never saw a
more careful driver after that in your
life.
"Finally, I arrived at my rooms, and
the next day got up early (for I was be-
ginning to get afraid of that infernal
satchel by this time myself) and went to
Versailles, where 1 stored the stuff safe-
ly in my laboratory and exploded it at
my leisure.
"I wrote to Majendie in London after-
ward, telling of my success, and re-
ceived a short reply saying that I ought
to be in jail this minute.
"Funny, isn't it, these English of-
ficials have no sense of humor?"
And here the colonel lit another cigar,
while I watched the Gladstone bag re-
flectively.—Philadelphia Times.
