pictures aud had the vocal organs neces.
sary, he would cause words 10 express
these ideas. He then related the strange
story of family living in the deep Wild
erness of Minnesota. The father and
mother are mutss. the three children had
not seen, only occasionally trapper for
a few moments, any human being. and
yet when discovered they were using over
100 words. mostly names. expressing cor
rectly the pictures of things around
them.
From many illustrations given we were
led to understand that il parents knew
the meaning of the names given their
children they would in many cases make
different selections. Five hundred years
before Christ the Arabs taught language
more wisely than we do now; for they
taught the beginnings of words, while we
toss to our children words without num-
Der that. to them, have no meaning. TIE
original source of language cannot be de-
termined, but 2.200 years ago the priests
in the temple at Banores chsnted the
hymns of the Vedos. The English sol>
diers broke into this temple and carried
large fragments of these hymns to Lon
don where they became the wonder of
philologists from every nation, and it
was soon discovered that here was per.
feet language; so it was called sans ript.
The audience was interested in learn
ing that the human tongue is the only one
SO constructed as to articulate sounds,
and that Darwin had to confess publicly
that that fact broke his charm of evolu
ton. this ply. ical characteristic clearly
proving that man is an individual species.
According to the speakers view there are
six languages only, three being feeble and
three strong. In order they were given:
Chinese. language of China. Japan, etc. !;
Hamitic. language of Africa. and Oceanic,
language of Australia and adjacent ISL
snds. The strong ones are, American,
Semetic and Argsn.
The American language is the one
spoken by the Indian. the Seme,ic tie
one spoken by the descendants of Shem,
and the Aryan the language spoken by
the people Of India and Europe, being
composed of the Sanscvit, Latin and
Greek, with the subdivision, Celtic,
Angles Saxon and Norman. Through
the Norman We get our Lltin words,
which make up two-ffIhs of the English
language. TIE other three-fifths come
from blending Of Angles and Saxon,
which gives the name Anglo Saxon.
For several centuries after the Nor
man conquest, French was the only re
spectacle language in England, and in
the time of Henry VII even. penalty
was laid upon teaching anything but
French. There was originally but one
Language, and that that condition of
things. the speaker held, would again be
seen.
The ladies were told that they must
form clubs for the study of languages,
for it was fashionable.

WORD WONDERS.
An Int eresting Lecture at the High
school Last Evening.

An Int eressfng Lecture at the High
school Last Evening.
The assembly room of the High schot |
was well filed with teachers and pupils
last evening to hear Prof Bixby lecture
on the Beauty and Wonders of Words
He was introduced at Sis. and for an
hour. by his entertaining manner and
rare enthusiasm, held his audience The
lecture was more valuable as an incentive
to thorough study of language, than as
an addition to knowledge.
The speaker went on to illustrate how
many words were formed from a single
root. He said there are only 497 differ
edit root words in all the languages. yet in
the English language alone there are A.
600 words. He made the statement also
that it is possible for the human voice to
express 46 distinct tones, and the best ed
ucated English scholar never uses more
than 10000 words. He further said that
words ought always to represent ideas. or
pictures in the mind, and that whenever
human being became pos sessed of those

A DREAM OF HAPPINESS

May be followed by a morning of La Grippe
Easily, and whys Because the displacement Of
covering in bed, a neglected draught from partly
c'o-ed window, an open transom come ted with
a windy entry in hotel, may convey to your nos
trils and lungs the death-dealing blast. Terrible
and swift are the inroads made by this new des-
troyer. The medicated al oholic principle in
Hostetter's stomach Bitters will check the dire
complaint. Apersistence in this preventive OF its
further development will absolutely checkmate
the dangerous malady. Unmedicated alcoholic
stimulants are of little no value. The Just me.
dunn is the Bitters. No less scous is itin cases
of malaria, billiousness, constipation rheumatism,
usually those upon who disease fastens first

The Observation-Disclosures.

The news of the London's misfortune
detailed in last nights ARGUS was re-
ceived everywhere with expressions of
surprise intermingled with profound re-
greet. while the hope was generally ex-
presst G that the enterprising proprietors
might so arrange their affairs as to again
resume business. The failure of such
business house is source of regret
alike TO all classes of business men, for
the London's method of advertising has
helped every class of business in Rock
Island, and the business man who talks
against the company talks against his
own interests and the. interests of the
city.
This morning large NUM- Der of addi-
tiousl attachments were filed, the total
liabilities now sggregating something like
