THE LANGUAGE OF EDEN.
Said br IllshlnmUTn to llnvc llpen
CSnrllc.
The Scottish Highlanders have al
ways been firmly convinced that Adam
and Eve used "ta Gaelic:" and it is
jrratifyinjr to ilnd that nhiioloiris's, as
they grow wiser, are coming lom.tl to
the same opinion, says the iv-ottish
American. It is true that they have
made no express admission to this ef
fect as yet, but there is evidence that
we are on the eve of an nektmwledg
n.ent that Gaelic was the original lan
guage of the human race.
The latest deliverance on the subject,
if it does not altogether silence these
skeptics and scoffers who derided this
article of Highland faith, ought to at
least make them give pause. Dr. l.eit
her. a distinguished German orientalist
and .philologist, has declared Gaelic to
be a "contemporary or derivative of the
l'rakit, closely allied to th.- spoken lan
guage and out of which Sanscrit be
came a written language." He even
goes so far as to assert that there seem
to be in the. Gaelic "certain survival's
of a prehistoric language."
Clearly this point in the direction of
the Highland contention, and the pres
ent acknowledgment, therefore, al
though tardy, and not, perhaps, quite
so full as might be desired, will no
doubt be welcome.
Hut Gaelic has another distinction.
It is, as even the Sassenach knows, the
language to swear in. The distinction,
however, is that one does not quite har
monize with the theory of its Para
disaical origin.
TWO BROTHERS.
A TouchltiK liixtnm-t- of True Ilrotli
erly I.ove.
Here is the story of two brothers
who stuck to one another through life,
and in death were not divided, says Les
lie's Weekly. They were past til) years
of age, and. being reported ill and des
titute in the old house where they
lived alone, were removed to liellevue
hospital. Each, though helpless, was
anxious to take care of the other.
When asked if they had any friends,
both gave the same reply: 'L'he best
friend 1 have in the world is my brother
here."
On their cots side by side they lay
dying, yet neither appeared to have any
thought of his own suffering, but asked
continually that something be done for
his brother. The elder one died first,
saying: "Gootl-by. John, dear. God
bless you!" Less than four hours af twr
this farewell John breathed his last.
The next day it was the day after
Christmas the two brother.- lay side
by side in the morgue, where an aged
woman, who had been their friend,
came and identified the bodies, promis
ing to notify relatives who would see
that they were buried together.
Such is a real incident from the great
epic of daily life in the metropolis, and
it points its moral better than some
fiction.
EXIT THE ARCTIC WHALE.
I'nrsult liy Mrtn Hum Virtually Uxtin
KUiHheit the Deeii-Seii .HonHtt-r.
Whalers, and especially the mar. with
the harpoon, have always been popular
characters, and, indeed, the perils and
exploits of their trade form not the
least stirring chapter in tfie romance
of commerce, says the London Graphic.
It will, therefore, touch most of us with
some slight sense of loss to learn as a
correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette
assures us that, as far as the arctic
seas are concerned, that chapter is
closed. This is a prosaic age. and the
results of that famous corporation of
whalers, the Dundee Arctic Fisheries
e.-.mpany, limited, for the last two years
have, it is said, not only not satisfied the
shareholders, but have resulted in a
heavy loss. The right- whale, which
provides the famous bone, has become
ho scarce that a ship is nowadaj's lucky
if it be rewarded by even one small one
a.- the reward of a whole season's
struggle with arctic fog and ice. A
parallel might be drawn between the
pursuit of the arctic leviathan and the
African behemoth, the elephant. Mod
ern improvements in weapons of de
struction have so thinned both their
tribes that, as objects of profit, they
have almost ceased to be worth the
seeking.
Sol veil the .MyMtery.
A man in Paris has been making a
good deal of money exhibit ing a curious
animal in the cafes ehantnnt and such
places. It was a very queer little ani
mal, and the alert Parisians were will
ing enough to drop the petit sou for a
sight of it. Still, look as they would,
none could determine the creature's
species. It was interesting, but it was
baflling, and the exhibitor coineii
money. One day, however, a dog
chanced to follow a curious beholder
into the cafe chantant. Immediately
'he wondrous animal humped it back
like n diminutive camel, and liegan to
hiss and spit.1 The mystery was solved!
I was a shaved cat!
Ai-rlnl Trolley.
C'hllkat's aerial trolley road, eight
miles long, is not an experiment, as the
system has been tested in other parts
of the world. The cars, holding two
passengers and a grlpman, travel ijnder
tier two ropes suspended in the air,
with another cable underneath to con
duct the power, the capacity of the
line will be 120 tons dally, equivalent to
200 miners and their outfits. The con
struction of the road is simple, and it
will probably be running by April.
Just as
Good
as Scott's and wc sell it much j
cheaper," is a statement sometimes ,
made by the druggist when Scott's j
Emulsion is called for. This shows
that the druggists themselves regard '
Scott's
Emulsion
of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypophos- ,
phites of Lime and Soda as the ,
standard, and the purchaser who.,
desires to procure the u standard
because he knows it has been of !
untold benefit, should not for one .
instant think of taking the risk of
using some untried prepa
ration. The substitution
of something said to be
"just as gcxxT' for a stand
ard preparation twenty
five years bn the market,
should not be permitted by
the intelligent purchaser.
He sure vou cei SCOTT'S Emulsion. See
that the man and fiah are on the wrapper
tec and Si.uo, all druggists.
