ENGLISH AS A UNIVERSAL Ian.
GUAGE.

ENGLISH AS A UNIVERSAL LAM
GUAGE.
Prof. F. A. Marsh some time ago wrote
an interesting article on the subject of
language growth, in which he asserted
that as a universal language must be a
growth, some national language would
expand until it would cover the whole
earth. ta.. ...sfa a.E. ~ .. ..
OF late years the English language
alone has been much spoken Of as likely
to grow SO great. Hardly any philo-
sophie linguist attempts to forecast the
future without some discussion Of the
destiny Of English; and De Candolle
calculates that within a hundred years
English will be spoken by S60,OO0,OO0 of
men, German by 124,OOO,OO0, and French
by 100000. At present the popula-
tions either speaking the English Ian
guage or under the denomination of
English-speaking peoples number more
than 31S,29S.OO0, Of one-fourth the popu-
lation of the globe. The English-speak-
ing races occupy one-fourth of the dry
land Of the earth, and own nearly two
thirds of the tonnage Of ships. They
live in all regions; they handle all arti-
cles of trade; they preach to all nations;
they command one-half of the worlds
gold and silver, and distribute more than
of the Bibles and Testaments.
More than one-half of the letters mailed
and carried by the postal service of the
world are written, mailed and read by
English-speaking population. f1eA,
The expectation that English will
come into universal use is not based
upon anything in the nature of the Ian
guage, but rather on the character and
circumstances of the people. The Eng
lish people have been the great colonizers
If modern times. They have taken pos
session of America, of Australia, of
South Africa, the regions which are to be
The seats Of new empires, and they con-
and assimilate the populations
which flow into them and which grow
lp In them, All the modern languagesl

Yesterday the Montana Union began
work on the contemplated improvements
at Anaconda, and it is anticipated that
within a week 400 men will be at work.
The Anaconda works are to build for the
repairing of all Montana Union material
on this part of the road. These works
will add greatly to the prosperity of this
part of Montana. Had Butte offered the
proper inducements the works would
have been located here.

OF civilized nations have grown up I'M
der influences which have led to differ
entiation OF the meaning Of words, to
extension of vocabulary, and to COM
preston and simplicity in the forms of
words.
The languages thus change from what
are called synthetic languages to analy-
tic languages. Collision and mixture of
races promote this process. The English
language is the most perfect illustration
of it. It, begins its historic career as
the literary language Of the Teutonic
tribes Of Britain, a mixed nation Of
Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. We find, by
comparing it with Gothic and Old High
German, that it had already lost a large
part of it's infection endings. A COLI
sion and mixture with the Danes follow
ed; and then the Norman Conquest. This
was the most important event in lin
guistic history. 1t brought together
picked men of the two great modern
stocka, the Germanic and Romantic, IN
der the most favorable circumstances
for the development of language. There
are, perhaps, 10000 words Of Anglo
Saxon origin in our present English; we
have $4,000 words in all. There is also
a condensation of ldiom. Direct and
compact phrases and sentences are gath
cred and remembered and make part of
the wealth Of the language.
Such is the process Of growth which
the students of language look for in the
universal language. Our present Eng
Iish is q type Of 1t. Jacob Grimm, one of
the most profound historians Of language
and an enthusiastic lover Of his native
German, says:
"The English speech may, with full right,
be called q world-language. 1t will 60 on
with the people who speak it, prevailing
more and more to all the ends Of the earth.
In richness, reason, and comprehension no
living speech can be put beside it; not even
our own German, which il torn, even az we
are torn, and must FIRST rid itself OF many
defects before it can enter boldly into the
as a competitor with English"
Language proper, which grows, is the
means of communicating the whole
man, his needs, his wishes, his joys and
sorrows, loves and hates, hopes and fears,
passions and thoughts. Objects are
named from the way they affect us, not
from their essential qualities. Then
shapes the words to beauty; the
poet, the orator, arouse to heroic acts or
record heroic achievements in language
in which sound and sense have been
fused. They add the powers of music to
those of sensible signs and of the natural
language of the emotions, and produce
idiomatic combinations rejecting and
expressing with strange perfection the
most complex and subtle states of mind
and heart. 1t requires many genera
lions of great speakers to originate the
idioms of a speech like English, and
they can be mastered only by wide &C
luaintance with its literature.

Harrison has appointed Parsons, the
man who engineered the recent "White
Mans Party" movement in Alabama,
United States Attorney for the Northern
and Middle district Of that state. On the
face of it this looks like a back-set fo1
the negro, but when the fact is known,
as it is generally there, that two Of the
most prominent negro Republican poll
ticians in the state of Alabama were in
Washington for some days actively work
ing in behalf Of Parsons, the setback is

For Chicken Cholera.

Common baking soda is unques'
tionably good preventive, and even
cure for chicken cholera. Two
years experience in the use OF it
proves its value to our satisfaction
Hfs-sl sleesteG1 2eA1HsseeG glA Inls~ssaSa1-o:
the year and earlier as a preventive,
full teaspoonful to a pint of corn
meal dough. AS cure, after fowls
are already affected, give stronger
doses-a half teaspoonful to as much
dough as hen would eat. Force it
down them if they decline to eat. In
this way we have saved hens that
were too weak to stand, while the
death rate in the yard was fearful.
The disease is now we'll known as
resulting from the growth of mi
crobes in the intestines of fowls.
Any strong caustic Of metallic sub
stance, as soda, lime, bluestone, cop
peras, may be regarded as destroyers
of microbes, some substances being
more poisonous than others. Soda
has, in our experience, given the best
results. II is safe to use it literally
as a sanitary agent, even where chol-
era has not made a start. We would
suggest trial of it for hog cholera
also.-Cott0n Plant.
