" Comment ing on tho "dash and eagerness" of the American Midler the Ottawa Cit izen thinks that "even in Germany it must bo known that the 'pinch hitter' generally wins the game," "Every adult in Canada has friends and rel atives in the United States and they were never prouder of them than they are at this moment," remarks the Windsor, Ont., Record, which adds: "Canadians don't ask what the United States is doing. We know. And when the Uernians are licked there will be no quarrel about the honors. There will be glory enough for all.

The earliest known Inscriptions belong to about the fifth millennium B. C, but It Is reasonable to assume that these were antedated by many different languages which had a great antiquity. The script of the Sumerlan, Baby lonian (or Accadlan) and Assyrian was the cuneiform. Chaldean, the lan guage used generally as the diplomatic language about the time of Belshazzar, Is what we now know as the Aramlc language. Archeology has thrown no light on the subject of the confusion of tongues. Abraham very probably spoke the Arairuilc, the language of Aram. In Canaan his descendants ap parently used the language of tho land, which was that of the Ammon ites. This Is whnt we now know as Hebrew. It would seem that the Isra elites retained while in Egypt the lan guage familiar to them, but archeol ogy has thrown no light upon the sub ject. Nothing has been discovered which can be determined as antedi luvian. Babylonian legends mention several cities as existing before the flood, and Arabic tradition says Haran was the first city that was rebuilt af ter the deluge, but archeology has Offered no certain data as yet on the SUbJeCt. ONLY BIT OF PINED WALL All That Remains of Castle That Was the ' Birthplace of Scotland' Hero, Robert Bruce, ' Turnberry cnstle, on the const of Ayrshire, Scotland, now but a bit of ruined wall near the lighthouse, was the birthplace and early home of Rob ert Bruce, whose father and mother "combined in themselves the earldoms of Annandale and Cnrrlck or royal lineage the titles still being retained by the present royal family of the United Kingdom." In ancient times this eld castle was large and strong. In the early part of Bruce's career Turnberry was held by an English force. Bruce through a mistaken signal, came to take the old familiar place, though his men were many too few for the task. Dis daining to give it up, however, he kept up an irregular war, sometimes being driven to refuge in the mountains or even In the wilds of a distant loch. At length he gathered together enough men to take Turnberry castle, which act was the beginning of his triumphant progress through Ayrshire and Stirlingshire, which finally ended with Bannockburn's tremendous vic tory. It is bard to realize the oldtlme Im portance of Turnberry, now that tho visitor must search long before he can come across Its few battered remains. Card of Thanks. Card of Thanks.

HAD KNOWLEDGE OF GERMS Abundant Proof That Anclenta Were Aware of the Existence of Little Demons of Disease, That the ancients knew the microbes of diseases Is Impossible to Imagine, yet It Is certain thnt ninny of them un derstood that there were such things. Dr. Jonathan Wright of Pleasantvllle, N. T., quoted in the Scientific Monthly from many Roman, Arabian and other writers extracts that prove this. Vurro and Columella, In the first century after Christ, ascribed the dis cuses of Rome to little animals which live lu the swamps. And the Egyptian and Assyrian cen sers, thousands of yenrs before Christ, burned resinous drugs and let loose the smoke of ethereal oils to exercise the little demons of disease precisely as our board of health doctors until very recently fumigated our houses to kill the germs of contagion. How effi cacious either method may be Is nei ther here nor there, the essential fact being thnt the undents, without micro scopes, had discovered the great truth upon which modern medicine Is based.
