The EU lists 24 official and working languages. The England is the only country that gives English as its official language. On leaving will they take the language with them? The Republic of Ireland gives Irish Gaelic as its official language, and Malta gives Maltese. How will we communicate with the EU, as most of us do not know Irish?

Mr Walter, M.P., recently stated in the House of Commons that he had had a promising young friend who smoked, and who died of paralysis, at an early age, in consequence. This is not the effect of tobacco on all. John Nerlioff, aged 105, who lives in the State of New York, was recently interviewed. Here is his testimony in regard to tobacco.

A good tale is told of Colonel X., who was at the time in the 60th, under a Colonel Kerry. X., though reputed a good scholar, and familiar with several European languages, made horses a perfect hobby; so much so, that he usually himself groomed his own stud.

Pope Leo XIII is by no means an idle man. He rises very early, and after hours of private devotion is always present at the first mass celebrated at 7 a.m. At eight he takes a cup of chocolate mixed with coffee and reads the letters and despatches that have arrived for him: At nine he receives the Secretary of State, and afterwards prefects and secretaries of congregations in rotation. At noon His Holiness receives the princes and ambassadors. At one o’clock he goes to prayer and devotional reading, after which he takes a very frugal dinner. It is calculated that though the Pope receives something like L 360,000 annually for the expenses of the Holy See, his own food only coats about 2s a-day, everything included.

Anyone interested in the temperance question should read Mr William Gilbert’s tearful book, “Legion, or the Modern Demoniac.” It is enough to make the smallest imbiber of spirituous liquors renounce them all on the spot.

As the world economy has globalized, the risk that a new infectious disease can break free of regional quarantines has increased. Epidemics have often occurred in other historical eras of expansion, such as the smallpox plagues that afflicted the Roman Empire.

“Every man I meet is my master in some point, and in that I learn of him.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everyone is better than you at something. This is a fact of life. Someone is better than you at making eye contact. Someone is better than you at quantum physics. Someone is better informed than you on geopolitics. Someone is better than you are at speaking kindly to someone they dislike. There are better gift-givers, name-rememberers, weight-lifters, temper-controllers, confidence-carriers, and friendship-makers. There is no one person who is the best at all these things, who doesn’t have room to improve in one or more of them. So if you can find the humility to accept this about yourself, what you will realize is that the world is one giant classroom. Go about your day with an openness and a joy about this fact. Look at every interaction as an opportunity to learn from and of the people you meet. You will be amazed at how quickly you grow, how much better you get.
