WOMAN'S WORLD.
PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR
FEMININE READERS.
hIBnons ZOE su,nlER wEAR.

Every week shows more plainly the
great efforts which are being made by
ribbon manufacturers TO keep this article
in front and to make it as attractive as
possible. This, of course. is the only
way of capturing woman's fancy and
we must say that foreign and domestic
manufacturers know how to do 1t.
There is a ribbon with straw effect
which Is splendidly adapted for orna-
menting straw hats. The body is double
faced satin and the border hemp, inter
woven with small satin stripes in differ
emit colors. The fabric can be had in all
colors which assimitate with any straw
shade.
Another new material conveys the idea.
of two ribbons, and is called the two-
ribbon effect. One side is a gros-grain
with a satin edge, while the other side
shows a plain satin effect. The color
combinations are numerous, but we find
that in this fancy fabric all ribbons Of
dark colors are prettier than those of deli
cate shades.
The ruban bayadere is a high fancy
material and one of the prettiest in tho
market. The weave of the body is tus-
sab, with bayadere stripes, while the bor-
der is satin. The colors of the stripes are
in the most delicate shades, and thus a
gaudy effect is avoided.

PRAYING AGAINST Time.

An undergraduate in one of the uni
rersities not SO very far from New York
tells the following story OF how one of
the Greek letter fraternitie1 in the insti-
tution recently captured the presidency
of on6of the literary societies at time
when the office was, forsotne reason, par
tcularly to be desired;
Il ssFirst we made coalition" he said,
sswith the fraternity whose man was al
ready in the chair. Counting their fell
lows and our own and the fellows of an
other fraternity, we found that we had
lust one man more than the opposition
party. But whea the society met on its

be called to order, and the first business
would be the election Of officers. The

and on and on; thirty minutes passed.

he began a prayer. lie was a good fell

And such diffused and capable praying I
never heard. By this time the opposi-
ton were beginning TO see through the
Tuse. He was praying against time while
the missing man was being hunted up
and brought in TO vote. But there was
nothing to be done--there was no pro-
vision in the constitution for calling a
man to order on devotional exercises So
he prayed on-hs prayed for the Society,
for the University, for the Government,
for the heather, he put a complete sup
plicatory belt about the earth-he prayed,
in fact, until there came a light tap at
the door and the sergeant-at-Arms opened
it to admit the missing man guarded by
the fellows who had gone to find him.
We got our man in as President, and by
my watch that fellow I'VE call him Dea-

Spread of the English Language.

At the opening of the present century
there were, in round figures, 25, 500, 900
people who spoke the English language.
They were chiefly in England. We
were only few millions in America.
The French-speaking people at that time
numbered about 81, 500, 900, and the
Germans exceeded 30,0O0,OOO. The
Russian tongue was spoken by nearly
81, 900, 900, and the Spanish by more
than 26, 600, 900. These four languages,
French, German, Spanish and Russian,
were, therefore, very nearly equal in the
number of their users, and were all far
beyond the English in that regard.
Even the Italian had three-fourths as
large constituency as the English, and
the Portuguese had three-eighths as many
users. OF the 161, 800, 600 people who
are estimated to have been using these
seven languages in the year 1901, the
English speakers were less than 13 per
cent, while the Spanish were 16, the
Germans 1874, the Russians 1879 and
the French 1916. This aggregate popula-
ton has grown to nearly or quite AGO.
600, 900, of which the English speaking
people number close upon 1875, 600, 600.
From ID per cent. we have advanced to
81 per cent. The French speech is now
used by 90, 900, 900 people, the German
by about 7O,0OO,OO0, the Spanish by
somewhat more than 40, 1000, 900, the
Russian by about 10000, 900, the
Italian by about 80, 900, 900 and the
Portuguese by perhaps 10, 900, goo. The
English language has enormously out

nearly twice as many people as any one
of the Others, and its relative growth Is

Learuing 10 Talk at Thirty-six.

The students at the College of Physi-
clans and Surgeons are talking about a
wonderful bit of surgery recently per-
formed by the magic knife of DR.. Nc
Burney, in the amphitheatre of Roosevelt
Hospital. He had perfectly restored
speech to man of thirty-six, made
dumb by an accident, and, if the present
promises in the case are carried out, it
may be the means of bringing back his
organs to a normal state.
The patient is a well known doctor of
Rochester, N. Y. In August last he was
thrown from buggy, landing on his
head. He was made unconscious by the
blow, and when the doctors brought
him to it was found that his right arm
and leg were paralyzed, and though he
could understand what was said to him
he had lost the power of articulation.
Under medical treatment there was a
partial restoration of the use of his arm
and leg, but he was still dumb. He was
finally brought TO Roosevelt Hospital
and placed in the care of Drs. McBurney
and Starr.
After long and careful study in the
case they came to the conclusion that h,
