THE THREE GREAT LANGUAGES.

Comparative Importance of the English
Over the French and German Tongues.
The language in which Shakespeare
and Milton wrote was the language of
but five or six millions of people in their
day, and as late as one hundred years
ago English was spoken by not more
than fifteen or sixteen million people,
says the Paris -1nertcan RcgjSter. AT
the same period French was the mother
tongue of at least thirty million people,
and German, in one or other of its
forms, was the language of from thirty
to forty million people. This state of
affairs is now completely reversed. Be-
tween forty and fifty years ago the En-
glish language eqUaled the German in
the number Of those who spoke it, and
now the latter is left far behind in the
race. German is spoken by 10000, 600
persons in theAustra-H Hungarian empire
10000, 600 in the German empire 10000
in Belgium, :. 900, 600 in Switzerland. and
the native tongue of some 1000, 600
in the United States and Canada This
gives total Of about sixty million per-
sons who may speak German.
With French the case IS much the
same. but the gain during the past CEN
fury has been smaller than that of Ger
man. French is now spoken by the
$1,000, 600 people of France, by 2,250,-
600 in Belgium, POO, 900 in Alsace-Lor-
raine, 100000 in Switzerland, 100000
in Canada and the United States, 600
600 in Hayti. and bv / 400 600 in AL

GlBRALTAR'S STRENGTH.

Military Fertilization.

The Siege and Capture of the Famous
Military Fertilization.
French and Spanish troops, 10000 in
number, for four long years, from June.
1919, till February, 1888, beleaguered
the fortress of Gibraltar, then held by
General Eliot, with a garrison OF 1000
men. The enemy erected batteries
right across the sandy isthmus, while
in the bay they held forty-seyen ships Of
the line and ten "battcring ships be-
sides countless lesser craft One night

or little chair, and thence to the signal
station, where they slew the guard.
There they awaited reinforcements
from below; these, however, were de-
layed and the garrison meanwhile
were aroused, and sallving forth drove
back the invaders. The Silletta was
Immediately filled up and the path
utterly destroyed and made inaccessible.
and the siege wore on through weary
months. At last furious general
attack was met by an incessant
fire of red-hOt balls on the
enemy's fleet Give thousand were
thrown in one day, till at length the
battering-ships took fire, as, owing to
the thickness of their timbers, the red
hot balls sank deep into the wood and
could not be d islodged. The scene that
ensued in the darkness of that terrible
night must have been awful indeed; and
so fearful were the groanS and shrieks
of the wounded and dying that brave
Englishmen forbore to let their foes
perish in the flames, and yentured to
their rescue, the marine brigade being
foremost in this work of mercy. which
added fresh laurels to their victory. 1t
was said that in this engagement the
Spaniards lost three thousand men, while
the garrison had only sixteen killed, and
the damage done to the fortress was re-
paired in a few hours. A few DAYS later
formidable English fleet came to the
Telief of the town, the siege was raised,
and Britain once more left in undisputed
possession of the stronghold, which in
the days Of Queen Anne she had ac-
quired AS a sort of luckpcnny. while
fighting on behalf of the Archduke
Charles, in whose name it had been
seized by Sir George Rookie, July y,
1904, who surprised it when garrisoned
by only eighty men. OF course, our
holding Gibraltar is an arrangement
about as pleasant for Spain as it would
be to England to see a French garrison
in full possession of Dover castle and
terrifying impregnable galleries in
Shakespeare cliff, beneath the protec
ton of which all manner of smugger-
might find safety, whereas any rasl
revenue cutter venturing within rang
would be forthwith fired at and proba
bly, sunk No wonder that Spain would
fain reclaim this heaven built bulWark
Of her shores.

1t makes one feel folish enough to
have a horse snap at him on the public
throughfare. OF course he isn't afraid,
but he jumps, nevertheless, with
scared look oyerspreading his features;
then he looks silly, and laughs an in
sipid little little laugh, as he reflects
that everybody is looking at him; and
it doesn't help the matter when some
body observes, as somebody inevitably
does, that the horse was deceived by his
greenness, and took him for grass. The
only reason why he doesn't commit
capital crime then and there is because
he doesn't know whether to kill the
horse, or the man who made the verdant
suggestion. -BOSton Transcript.
