No matter where you* rove. Fix your mind on duty. And fill your heart with love; Sing a song of cheerfulness, Trusting God above. ?John A. Simpson. The English Language. Philologists may not agree that lCuglish Is the best tongue for uni versal use, but their opinion counts for little In the world of trade, I where eniiiDetttion decides matters of world Import. England lias com mercial supremacy, and with the ad vantage of the support of the United States the language of Shakespeare bids fair to become the means of communication of the world. French is no longer the language of court and diplomacy as It once was, for now a diplomat need not be versed In any tongue but that of this coun try to make a success. Statistics show the growth of Eng lish. In 1801 English was spoken by 20,000,000, Krench by 31,450,000, and iiuKsian by 30,770,000. In 1901 Eng lish had grown to 130,300.000, Krench to 52,100,000, German to 84,200,000, Spanish to 46,500,000, and Russian to 85,000.000. The proportion to the whole shows that English increased from 12.7 per cent to 29.2 per cent, that French showed a relative loss of nearly 50 per cent, Spanish a heavy loss, and that German and Russian stood still. Since 1901 the spread of the Eng lish tongue has been proportionately greater. Japan is a new factor in the world game, and there English is spreading faster than Is any other foreign language. German Influx in: to the Latin-American states will work to the advantage of English, in that it will bring a language for vlrade other than Spanish to the <*?0. Thus, In the triangular contest, k'Sllsh will win against a divided fol^\ whereas Spanish might have heldVi own had it been opposed by but o^y other. Our Wstltutions, laws, and cus toms not antagonistic to other peoples, uVd as we stand In the fore front of 'nterprtae, all nations are watching .K. They cannot but ap preciate thii our language is not a handicap, ant despite their love of mother tongue, are villing to learn English sufficie.tly to deal with us in the marts of he world. Anglo Saxon should liec*me the dominant speech of the word, nnd the next few decades will dec\de for all time. Efforts to establish Vohipuk, Esperan to, and other so-called Universal tongues have not met with Success. English is good enough for al pur poses and for all occasions.?WiVhing ton Herald. SNOW COVERS TEXAS. The Blizzard That Has Been Rag ing Two Days Subsides. Austin, Tex., Oec. 19.?The bliz zard which set in 48 hours ago and covered two-thirds of the area of Texas spent Its force at noon to day In the more southern portion of the state. The sleet covers the ground to a depth of three Inches In Central and part of South Texas, while a heavy blanket of snow covers the western and northern portions of the state.

Yonkers Statesman. OVERCOATS ALL STYLES AND prl ces at N. B. GRANTHAM'S. MOW LITTLE WE KNOW. In Spite of all We Remain as Chil dren Crying for the Light. We do not know much. Win u wo look at the swltchbourd of a cen tral telephone exchange te are very -sure that u.an hats l< arned a great deal about the conductivity and r< - sistivlty of wires, and we are awe struck at tlie human oraiu that plann ed and wrought out that complicat ed network of circuits and plugs and insulated clews to a great section of the hemisphere. But when it is a matter of the twitching threads of nerves that carry messages from our own brains to the tips of our fin gers and the bottoms of our feet, we find that the doctors can prescribe rest and a glass of milk with a raw egg in it, but they can tell us very little about these astonishing tele I graph and telephone systems that monopolize our own bodies and make our lives either "one grand, sweet song" or a long-drawn torment. We look at a locomotive furiously running, and we say again, "What [ hath man wrought?" as we think of the mechanical development since a man in England watched the steam j lift the lid of a kettle. (Gladstone said that to him the locomotive and the violin were the standing marrels. \ I Even the designer of a "Mallett compound" must wonder at the fin ished product as it charges past him with a string of laden freight cars in Its wake as long as a com et's tall. Hut when we have stood j nnd i'i ti u/zindoprTKint at f hu In. comotlve, and have patted *'aeh oth- ' <t on the head for the very fine fel- ! lows we are to have thought of such j a thing without any help from the j j Creator, we do not know what makes a man get up in the morning or cause a baby to crawl about the carpet and finally to stand and to walk. ] We read the riddle of steam; we cannot solve the enigma of human life. Or perhaps we thrust in our heads impertinently at the window of the ship's cabin, where the wireless ope rator with his vibrant earmuffs par ries and thrusts sunlight or the screaming gale. And we say, "Sure ly nothing can be more wonderful than that," and then some know-it-all at our elbow turns and supercilious ly explains to the girl beside him just how it is done, and how forty nine or sixty-seven other men were the real Inventors, but Marconi was lucky enough to get the credit and the patient for an idea which was floating about in the air subject to anybody's capture. And so, thanks to the supercilious young man, we know Just how words can be thrown 3,000 miles and caught on attenuated aerial clothesline as nearly as a lacrosse player traps in his racquet the ball that is flung clear across the field. When the mystery of the wireless is as an open book, that he who travels by land or sea may read, two people may stand the width of the world asunder and one of them knows what is In the mind and the heart of the other?and how is that done? "Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, unuttered or expressed," and the spiritual aspiration may find out another human being, or it may mount to heaven, and no man has anything to say about the mystery of its itinerary. We are as children crying for the light when it comes to the question of understanding the mode of intercommunication between a soul and a soul.?Philadelphia Pub lic Ledge*.

On the night of November 27. the death angel came into Mr. George Woodard's home and claimed his young brother. Daniel, 28 years old. He had been a sufferer two years with Uiat dread disease consumption, and while every thing was done for him that loving hands could do, death conld not be stayed. Daniel was a good kind boy, al ways ready to do all he could for his friends or any one that was in distress or needed help. He ex pressed his willingness to go at his . heavenly Father's bidding and was patient and resigned to God's will May God bless and draw his loved ones on to meet him in that better land where partly is no more.

Yet whose utterances prudence girds. Beautiful hands are those that do Work that is earnest, and brave, and true. Moment by monent the long day through. Beautiful eyes are those that show Like crystal panes where hearth fires glow, Beautiful thoughts that burn below. Beautiful feet are those that go On errands of mercy to and fro? Down lowliest ways, if God will so. ?Annonymous. Points on the Tariff. We collect a duty of nearly two cents a pound on refined sugar in or der to protect the iufant industry of sugar refining from the competition of "pauper labor of Europe." Inci dental to the sugar fraud disclosures, the public learned that the United States are purveyors of sugar to Italy, and the latest report on our foreign commerce shows that in ten months of this year we exported 73, 000,000 pounds of refined sugar, a gainst less than 20,000,000 pounds in the corresponding portion of last year. The announcement In The New York Journal of Commerce last summer that the Trust was selling sugar for export at two cents a pound less than the New York price probably explains this sudden in crease In the exports. wnen me rauroau managers mane up their minds to increase the freight rate on a certain product they do not always deem it wise to effect their object by direct means. They attain their object Indirectly by a change of classification. The same oblique method was pursued by the tariff sharps who manipulated the changes made at the extra session in the Dingley rates. Under the preteuse of reducing the duty on sawed lumber, hewn, sided or squar ed, from 1 cent to % cent a cubic foot, It is now found that by crafty exclusion of lumber squared by saw ing the duty on such lumber has been increased. In a like sneaking way the duty on structural steel, on certain cotton products and on lead imports was advanced. The mischiev ous color classification in rating im ported sugars was also retained for the benefit of the Sugar Trust. As long as we have protective tarlffsl we shall have manipulated thieveries as a result of calculated rascalities in rate making.?Philadelphia Record.
