English Speakers of the World.
Leisure Hours.
In conversation with DolIipger
shortly before his last illnese Prot.
| II ne, Of Rochester University, New
England, repor is that the venerable
doctor spoke with much anxiety
about the tone of modern Englis h
! literature. He explained his anxiety
by expressing his belief that at no
distant time the English tongue
would be pre-eminently the language
of all civilized nations. The greatest
works of English literature were
worthy of being ever popular. From
a German, this opinion about the
spread Of the English tonguewas full
OF interest. 1t is computed that at
the opening OF the present century
there were about 21,O00,000 people
VINO spoke the English tongue. The
French speaking people at that time
mum bered about 81 5000, 600 aud the
Germans exceeded 30,000,000, The
Russian tongue was spoken by nearly
81 600, 900, and the Spanish by more
than 90, 000, 900. Even the italian had
three-fUurths as large q constituency
as the English, and the Portuguese
three Fights. Of the 1852, 100000 peo-
pie, or whereabouts, who are estima-
ted to have been using these seven
languages in the year 1901, the Eng
Isb speakers were less than Is per
cent, while the Spanish We're Is, the
Germans Is. 4, the Russians Is 8,
and the French 10. 6. This aggreg gate
population has now grown to 400, 000,-
900, of which the English speaking
people number close upon $4,000, 600.
From Is per cent we have advanced
to 81 per cent. The French speech is
now used by $4,000, 600 people, the
German by about 70,0O0,0OO, the
spanish by 40, 100000 the Russian by
100000 eco the Spanish by 10000 900,
and the portuguese by about Is, 0O0,-
600. The English language is now
ured by nearly twice as many people
as any of the others, and the relative
growthis almost sure to continue
English bias taken as its own the
North American Continent and near.
ly the whole of Australasia. North
America alone will soon have 100, 0O0,-
600 OF Engllsh-speaking people, while
there are AZ, 10000 900 in Great Britain
and Ireland. In south A frica and
India also the language is vastly ex-
tending.

Fate of Man VINO Did Good for
His Fellows.
Died in the poor house.
Such has proven the fate of a man
who spent q fortune Tor the good of his
fellow beings.
Perhaps this country will neveragain
see a man whose character can COM
pare in noble qualities with that Of
George Wheaton Allen. who forever
closed his eyes 10 the light of an un-
grateful world in lonely cot in the
Franklin county (Oh;o) infrmary
last week. Allen was in the s3rd
year of his life. He was born
in Connecticut in 1909 and moved to
Ohio in 1890. He engaged in peddling
and the auctioneer business and soon
amassed a fortune. On his peddling
wagon. which he drove through the
country, he had painted the notices:
Homes for everybody" THE gov
eminent lands belong to the people,"
and Government lands to actual set
tiers" He advocated the passage by
Congress the present homestead law,
and while travelling through the States
addressed Legislatures and public meet
ings in an effort to create public senti-
ment in favor of his bill He spent
100000 creating sentiment among the
people, State Legislatures and Congress
in favor of his proposition, and lived to
see thousands of his fellow-mrn bene-
fitted thel4by.
Although a man of considera BILE abil-
ity, he lacked the ability to manage
his own affairs. aad years ago became
a charge on his friends lie owned a
little cabin and few acres of land in
Plain township, Columbus county,
where he lived alone, but about three
months ago it was sold for taxes for
the third time. and on account of his
helpless condition he was sent to the
poor house.

place with necklaces. For the long

placed. The design tepered on each

with jewels. Lace patterns worked
out in jewels and tape like designs
brought out in stones are also seen.

The Female Dancers Temperament.
New York journal.
To be good feminine dancer one
must have a soNl so quick to feel
that all her sensations are
Immediately reflected in artistic,
graceful movement What poet
says in words she N ust express in
motion. Her rhythm should be as
| perfect as his, her thoughts as beauti-
July expressed. Not every one who
can take pretty steps and is lythe an d
graceful can be dancer. An artistic
temperament is required aud love for
the beautiful in art and music, q
rounded mind, in which there are no
angles or rough corners, to find their
correspondence in her movements,
are necessary. She must be highly
imaginative and have q deep sense of
reverence.
She could also be emotional; cold
nature would CONCEAL o delicate
thought before 1t could become crys.
tallized into motion.
For that reason, in Europe the wo.
men of the Latin races have ever
been considered better dancers than
lDOS6 ITODl the NOEbl, auSs the 6ACSl-
lence in tepsichorean art is supposed
to increase in the same ratio as we
penetrate into the Orient, where per
lection is at last reached by the
Nautch girls in the celebrated Aimee
dance.
I his is true but only in q limited
sense. Northern women are accredit-
ed with Il don't say they hsve) more
solid natures. There is no reason
why an English woman may not
dance as we'll as n Spanish woman,
provided land here lies the secrecy
she has the necessary requirements.
Poss essipg Them, it is impossible
to say 10 what degree of perfection
dancing may be brought.
Perhaps to its ancient glories, when
Jewish naidens praised the Lord
with cymbals and In the dance, when
danced before the king, and
when the Pyrrhic dances were not
considered by the Greeks unworthy |
homage to offer their dlvinities.
