NOT DEAD LANGUAGES.

| Greek and Latin Living Tongues If There
Is Such a Thing.
Greek and Latin are two members of
that great family of languages of which
our own and most of the other Ian
Guages of Europe are also members,
writes PROF.. Freeman, in MacmiIIan's
Magazine. They are the two which
were the earliest to stand forth in the
record of European history. They are
the two which for many ages stood side
by side without fellow as the two civil
lied tongues of Europe. They are the
two which have had, each in its own
way, the greatest influence over the
kindred tongues which came on the
field in later times. No tongue of Eu-
rope, no people speaking any tongue of
Europe, could have been what Is is If
the Greek and the Latin tongue had not
been there before them.
One has so metimes heard the claims
of those tongues pressed on the ground
that they are dead languages" Their
real claim rests on the ground thatthey
are not dead languages, but the most
living of all. The tongues of the Hit
tites and the Babylonians are dead lam
guages; they are most proper subjects
Of special study for specialists whose
tastes lead them that way; but, because
they are dead langua ges, they are there
fore unfit to be insis ted on as essential
in the schoolmaster's phrase com
pulsory''-subjccts for a whole univcr-
sity. But the tongues OF Hellas and
Latium, the toayu,s which have affect
ed every sj1ge. of Ear ope an history
from its first beginnings till now, the
tongues which still abide. in one shape
or another, On the lips CT 4 great p2rt
of Europe, aro tonEJe3 cmDhaticaily
living. Each has had Il; Influence, but
the influence Of each has been of g dif-
fcrent kind. The iRiiEcnco Of Grcell
has been fop las westerns mainly indi-
rect; 1t has been IN influence of exam
pie and analogy, ~ influence working
largely by the help of Latin The in
lucncc of Latin has been direct and
it has touched and modified
everything.

FAMOUS FARMER BOYS.
IIustrious Men Who Were Raised Upon
EarmE.

ulustrious Men Who Were Raised Upon
Farms.
There are some people foolish enough
to laugh at the hOmely virtues of farm
life. They are fortunately few and
they are fortunately growing fewer.
But it is well sometimes to look at the
list of great men who came up from
the farm-not all of them, for that
would fill a thousand volumes, but some
of the most able ones that flash into
mind in a moment. Nearly three
fourths of the men who have been
chosen by the people for the great
offices of the nation are men who were
early familiar with wooded hills and
cultivated fields, says the Kansas City
Times, for example: Lincoln, Grant,
Garfield, Hamlin, Greeley, Tilden,
Cleveland, Harrison, Hayes, Blaine and
many others almost equally conspicu-
Gus in current events or living memory.
Among journalists, Henry Watterson
spent his early life in rural Kentucky
and Alurat Halstead was born and
lived on a farm in Ohio. w. II. Wander
bilt was born in a small New Jersey
town and early engaged in the business
of ship chandlery; Russell Sage was
born in New York village; Jay Gould
spent his early years ON his fathers
farm in New York state. Ingersou
first saw light in a country town in New
York, Talmage in New Jersey village
and David Swing, though born in Gin
cinnati, passed his boyhood on an Ohio
farm. Whittier and Howells spent their
youth in villages, the former dividing
his time between farm employment and
his studies. Follow the list out YOUR
self and see how long it will become.

II IS always a delight for the Syrians
to gather in some public cafe and enter
tain themselves with pipes and tiny
caps Of black coffee, writes Frank
Stiles Woodruff in st. Nicholas. At
such times the professional story teller
Is welcome. Some winter night we
look in upon such 4 scene. a score Of
men sit about On low stools, while at
one end Of the archcd room sits the
story teller. Sometimes he recoUats
very wildly tho Valorous deeds of his
warlikc ancestors; now he speaks of
love, throwing into the form of verse
his visions of beauty and gcntleness;
now the intent listeners forget their
pipes as he brings back to their minds
scenes of 1860, when feuds between
Druzes and Maronitcs had sprinl1led
the sides of Lebanon with Christian
blood. Between the stories the low
gurgle of the water pipes sounds a
musical applause, and we westerners
realize that we are, in very truth, in
the land of THE Thousand and One
Nights" listening to the magic Ian
guGge of Aladdin" and "Sinbad," and
the Forty Thieves"-the much-loved
language that the Arabs call 1.-THE
tongue OF the angels" Finally, at
late hour, there are signs of breaking
up The story teller is rewarded with
a copper bit from each of the company,
the host is paid for his evening pro-
vision of pipe and coffee, and the men
retire to their homes.
The next morning our friend, the
cafe keeper, washes out his pipes,
places them in order on long shelves,

THINKING ALOUD.
Peculiar Adventure OF an Earl In Car
riaEe-Hi5 Own Medicine.


The habit of talking aloud was a pc
culiarity of one of the earls of Dudley,
and of this habit an amusing anecdote
IS told in the Sheffield Telegraph. Lord
Dudley, being invited to the house Of a
friend, had ordered his carriage at an
early hour, having some miles to travel
before he could obtain his accustomed
repose. To his modification, after re-
peated inquiries for Lord Dudley's car
rage, it had not arrived.
One of the guests, seeing how much
his lordship was disconnected by the
event, very politely offered him seat
in his.
The gentleman in question had to
pass his lordship's house on his return
home, and, though he was almost
stranger to Lord Dudley, his rank and
position in the country were, of course,
well known to him. Nevertheless, they
had not been seated in the carriage
more than twenty minutes when the
peer, who had up to that moment main
tanned most perfect silence, observed
in low but distinctly audible tone Of
voice:
I'm very sorry accepted his offer.
I don't know the man. 1t was civil,
certainly; but the worst is, I suppose
must ask him to dinner"
He then relapsed into his former state
of taciturnity, when, after few min
utes, the gentleman, pretending to be
afflicted with the same failing and inn
itating his lordship's tone, observed:
Perhaps he'll think did it to make
his acquaintance. Why, 1 would have
done the same to any farmer on his
estate. hope he won't think it neces-
sary to ask me TO dinner, for shan't
accept his invitation"
Lord Dudley listened to him with
earnest interest, Immediately compre-
hended the joke which he himself had
provoked, offered his hand with much
hearty good will to his companion,
making every proper apology for his
involuntary rudeness, and from that
night the travellers became inseparable
friends.

SILK FROM SPIDER WEB.
And from the Output of other Animals
Besides silk Worms.

And from the output OF Other Animals
Besides SILK Worms.
There are a number of animal fibers
other than that OF the silk worm which
have been tested at various times IN
weaving. Practical attempts have been
made by different persons to weave the
web of the spider, but the spiders web
is so much finer than the web of the
silk worm that such efforts have at
tanned no mercantile Importance.
The web of the spider bears the same
proportion to the web of the silk worm
in strength that the latter does to a
broomsticls, explains the Cincinnati
Commercial. The spider makes thou
impediments in the way of weaving il
many yards of spiders silk have been
woven, and an entire dress of this silk
was presented to Quccn Victoria 4 num-
Der of years ago, when experiments
were conducted on 4 somewhat extern
sive scale in weaving the web of one of
the tropical spiders, which promise
more than do our ordinary spiders of
the temperate zone.
But the experiment was finally Gban-
doned. Another creature which has
furnished exhibits of silk to curiosity
hunters is ''pinna," that weird silk
weaver of the ocean, which weaves a
byssus of silken threads by which it at
taches its shell to the rocks. This is a
huge mollusl1 which is found in the
Mediterranean. The silk of the pima
cannot become of practical Importance
because of the difficulty of promulgat-
ing the creature or of obtaining sufi-
cient material from it.
Another difficulty in the way of the
practical use of this silk of the sea lies
in coloring it. Like most things of the
ocean, it resists all efforts to dye it.
