Spread of the English Language.

At the opening of the present century
there were, in round figures, 20, 100000 peo-
pie who spoke the English language. They
were chiefly in England. We were only a
few millions in America. The Freneh speak
ing people at that time numbered about 81,
SOC, 1000, and the Germans exceeded 81, OOO, 200.
The Russian tongue was spoken by nearly
81 ,OOO, 900, and the Spanish by more,than q,
100000
The French speech is now used by SC, 900, :
900 people, the German by about Il, 0O0, 900,
the Spanish by somewhat more than ~, %,
600, the Russians by about 7O,OOO, 900, the
Italian by about 10000, 900, and the Portu-
guese by perhaps 100000. The English
language has enormously outgrown its COM
petitors. 1t is used by nearly twice as many
people as any one Of the others, and its rela-
tive growth is sure to continue
North America alone will soon have 100.
100000 English speaking people. There are
&C, 0O0, 900 In Great Britain and Ireland. Aus

Knew When to Get OF.

He was a muscular countryman, and his
greatest talent lay in the direction of riding
untamed horses 1t was a Texas pony, full Of
the characteristics of that renowned breed,
and standing listlessly by, awaiting the ar
rival of some one to try his mettle.
He found the animal without man daring
enough to mount it, and at once asked for the
job, saying that he had never yet heard Of the
horse that could get away from him.
The owners consent was given Immediately,
and the bold man sprang into the saddle, and
the pony sprang into the air, bounding of
like a rocket, with the man clinging to its
name.
Straight down the street the animal sped,
and probably the man would have main
tanned his reputation had the pony not taken
a sudden notion to turn into a cross street.
This idea occurred to it, and without con-
sulting the rider the Dony wheeled into the

Mr.. KellY's .IOke.

"a funny accident occurred to me" said
Helen Barry, lat the Globe theatre, London,
where | was playing at the time my well
known character, Arkwright's wife, 1t was
in the first act, poverty scene, with an old
kitchen table in the center Of the stage with
a drawer in it. Back of the drawer facing
the audience | was standing, when, to my
horror, l felt my underskirt was slowly but
surely slipping down. | could not leave the
stage, so, quick as thought, l stopped, and
with a backward clutch caught hold of the
scarlet undergarment, brought it on a level
with the table drawer and stuffed it fran
tically in without any one in the audience
seeing it. then continued my acting, which
was to weep and get around to front of table
to a chair on my left. Now, imagine what
my feelings were, when there, staring me in
the face, was my scarlet petticoatl Mr..
Kelly, now dead, was Arkwright. He alone
had seen my action, and, being a humorist,
he could not resist playing this trick upon
me, but so cleverly did he arrange the offend
ing garment that it looked like a three cor
nered shawl, and the audience never saw
from whence he took it or what it was. The
whole thing was the work of an instant, but
stood gazing upon it, petrifed for mo-
ment. Poor Mr.. Kellyl He was a good ae-
tor. This was Ellen Terry's husband. New

Remember, my son, you have to work,
whether you handle pick or pen, wheel
barrow or a set of books, digging bitches or
editing paper, ringing an auction bell or
writing funny things, you must work. II
you look around you will see that the men
who are most able to live the rest Of their
DAYS without work are the men who worked
the hardest. Don't be afraid of killing your
self with overwork. They die sometimes,
but it's because they quit work at 6 p. m. and
don't go home until a. m. 1t is the interval
that kills, my son.-Robert ]. Burdette

Tie Love Of an Old Umbrella.

Umbrellas repaired while you wait" is the
seductive advertisement Of Fulton street
dealer who sells new umbrellas, as we'll as
mendinS old ones.
"Oh, yes" he said yesterday, 1--WE get
plenty of tinkering work to do. A great
many men regard an old umbrella with af-
lection. Their fingers become accustomed to
the little grooves in the handle, and they
would feel bewildered and uncomfortable if
they grasped new stick. Here, now, is an
umbrella that Frenchman brought to me
yesterday. There was hardly vestige of
a cover left to it, and told him it could not
be repaired He was disappointed, but final
ly he ordered new cover. The handle is not
worth ten cents to anybody except himself
and could have given him brand new UNI
brella for the price l charged him for the
silk; but that would not have suited him at
all. SO long as he could clutch the old handle
he felt at peace.
occasionally a man wants a new stick put
into an old cover, for a stick, if it is broken
in the middle, is not easily mended. Gener-
ally the handle is piece distinct from the
rest of the stick, and when the fracture is at
the joint we have no great trouble in mend
ing it, Frequently the owner Of an umbrella
tells me, when he wants me to close a hole in
it, that it has been in his possession for
twenty years. As a matter cf fact he hasn't
owned it for as many weeks A new stick
put under an old cover, and month later
the old cover replaced by fresh one, make a
new umbrella, don't theyi Well, that is
what he has had done half dozen times. ~

WHITING CHIPS.

Chubby hands so brown and small
Weld the blade and sSantling,
Chips, like driftlets, fly and fall,
Wasteful litter one and all
IN flakes about the bant.ing
Seventy springs their seed have sowr,
Still with knife and single
The ckild, white haired grandsire grown,
His life dream, his memory flown.
Sits whiting by the ingle.
Yet the past held busy years,
Works of wondrous glitter,
But many loss brought burning tears,
And many gain regretful fears,
At best useless litter
And SO methought the hopes and schemse
OF many worldly willing,
When all is told, are idle dreams
That lure men on with golden dreams,
Mere chips Of mortal whiting.

An Eventful Life.

Few women have had a more eventful
life," says The Edinburgh Scotsman, than
Mrs Mary Ann Allan, who has just passed
away at the age Of 10 She was a child Of
the regiment, born in a convent at Lisbon,
and while yet mere infant she scaled the
walls of Badajoz, strapped upon her mothers
back. With her mother she was also on the
field of Waterloo. Her girlhood was spent
in barracks, or in the baggage wagon, and at
the age Of II she became the wife Of Color
Sergeant Allan. Her family, consisting OF
nine children, were born in different parts Of
the world-Canada, India, the West Indies
end Ireland"
The Comfort OF Ugliness.
Give men or women minds big enough and
they will not think Of and the world will not
worry itself about their faces, though they
may be as plain as Charlotte Cushman, as
rugged as Ralph Waldo Emerson, as ugly
as George Eliot. Poor, little misshapen Pope
said: The minds the standard of the man."
and the world said "Amen!" He had the
mind 1t is useless arguing with, young
girl that beauty is not blessing 1t is in
her nature to want to be pleasing and adj
mired She sees roses loved and worn be-
cause they are beautiful, and she would be
of them and with them in the rose leaf long
ing times of her spring in the world. Homely
girls have sat up nights to cry and, thinking
of fairer faces that have been more courted
because fairer, have fallen asleep on pillows
wet with tears that have come from kindly
eyes and dropped from homely cheeks in SYM
pathy. Tell them that beauty is only skin
deep, and that it brings unhappiness, and
they will still sob: "Give me the beauty" Its
like telling a poor, tired, overworked man
that great wealth only brings misery" He
will still wish to take the chances on a little
wealth But all the same there is lots of com
fort for the homely. They can be good and
wise and, having much time away from their
mirrors and their flatterers, can think and
do great things--New Orleans PirsvunA
