The English, Language.

Professor Vambery has been, lecturing
on the Fashion, of Languages" before
the Ruda-Pesth English club. English,
he said, may now be called the most
fashionable language IN all the five parts
of the world. It began to spread in the
first decades Of thecentury through Eng
isls literature, and in.Asia by means Of
accelerated communication. Steamers
were the wings, of the English language
in the far east. and its spreading from
India and the straits settlements to Chi
ma and Japan is sAnply miraculous.
There is no exaggeration in saying
that the number of English speaking
Asiatics amounts today to 5000, 900; that
of Europeans tomore than 1,000, 900, and
these, added to the 10000, 900 Anglo
Saxons, give total of English speaking
men and women of 10000, 900. Should
the increase continue in the same proper.
ton, the middle of next century will
have 200, 1000, 900 English speaking per.
sons, and the English will have no rival
In the world besides the Chinese.
Phonetically English is unsuitable fol
the foreigner, and the lecturer declare.
he always suffered acute pain in the jaws
when speaking publicly in England and
trying to initiate genuine English. The
phonetic difficulties are, however, amply
rewarded through the expressiveness, thu
rare precision, vigor and exactness il
which English surpasses all other Euro
pean tongues.-London News.

An Intelligent Cat.

A proof that animals can reason has been
brought to the attention of the rambler.
The animal in question now is a cat, and
for that reason the circumstances are all
the more notable. Poor Tabby has always
been given back seat by scientists on the
basis of intelligence. This Brooklyn cat
early developed signs Of intellectually.
Tabby's mistress was fond Of singing when
she was the performer. AS is not unusual
with cats and dogs, the high notes of the
human voice seemed to distress her great
deal. Tabby's mistress had for some time
been trying to teach Miss Cat the pretty
habit of oscillation, but without success.
On one occasion the singing was I'M full
sway when the cat jumped into her mis-
tress' lap and kissed her with extreme
vigor.
The act was so pretty that the singing
was stopped for the purpose of romp with
Tabby This was enough for Miss Cat.
She had found that kissing stopped the
singing once, and she remembered 1t. The
next time that singing was the order Of
the day the cat put her reasoning powers
to work, and recalling her first success she
rushed up to the singer and repeated tha
action. OF course the singing stopped
again. Now when the singing is not
stopped at the first request of Tabby sh'
will repeat the operation, and if that fall
she will add a gentle bite on the cheek te
emphasize the protest. - Brooklyn Eagle.

Rather Fond Of Ice Cream.

Frank Wilson, ths clothing man, is pas
sionately fond Of ice cream. One day last
week he and friend went into restaurant
and ordered dinner. While waiting for the
viands te,be served he was called aside by
a friend. They got into discussion about
Rushville real estate. Frank got SO en-
thusiastic that he forgot about his dinner.
His friend, who, sat at the other side Of the
table, decided to- play joke on him. he
ordered the waiter to take away Franks
dinner, which had become cold, and ordered
three plates of ice cream instead. Frank
soon came back in heat, He began to de-
vourthe icecream while his friend chuckled.
Afterward Frank complacently lighted q
cigar His friend did not know whether
it was Frank s great liking for ice cream or
that he was absorbed by real estate. Atany
rate Frank came to his friend the next day
about noon and said:
''Say, Henry, let's go for dinner the sams
place we were yesterday; that was one Of
the best dinners ever ate. "-Cincinnati

It is quite certain that free wool and
low duties on woolens would seriously
injure if it would not be the death Of
the shoddy industry in this country.
This fact is being made clearer every
day.
Mr.. F. Muhlhauser Of Cleveland, the
proprietor of the largest shoddy mill in
the world, replies, in The Wool Reporter
of April 9, to letter in a previous mum.
Der from "certain Mr.. Osborne Of
Wyoming, who claims that protection
made wool cheaper"
Mr.. Muhlhauser not only gives the
certain Mr.. Osborne" a fearful drub
bing, but laughs at the Reform club and
the members of congress who are at
tempting to revise the tariff downward
He says "this whole question will turT
out the greatest farce of the nineteenth
century,"
Now, it SO happens that the "certair
Mr.. Osborne" is not only the governor
of Wyoming, but is large woolgrower
who favors free wool. to provide better
markets for American woods. tits pre-
sumed that Mr.. Osborne understands hil
business as Mr.. Muhlhauser understand
his shoddy business. There is confict
Of interests Mr.. Muhlhauser wants
the importation of foreign woods pre-
vented SO that our manufacturers vii
be compelled, in order to give their cloth
a soft finish, to mix shoddy instead O
foreign woods with our own woods. Mr.
Muhlhauser does not dare to give his ex
act reasons for favoring high duties Of
woods. He knows it would injure hi
cause, just as the circular letter of tn
shoddy and rag men in 1888, declarini
for high duties and for Harrison an,
Morton, undoubtedly opened the eyes 0
many woolgrowers, though not in tim
| to turn them against protection until th
elections of 1890 and 1892. Mr.. Muhl
hauser, therefore, takes pains to max
his plea in the interest of woolgrowers-
sort Of shoddy wolf masquerading i
sleeps clothing.
Take off your wool mask, Mr.. Muhl
hauser, and let the people see your shoe
dy suit. If they then prefer your indul

clear shoddy suits to cheap all wool suit
they will stand by you and your bogu

whore the Telegraph Is Least Used.

The four countries in the world which
possess the smallest telegraph facilities
are Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay and Per-
sia. In the first named there are only SO
telegraph offices in the whole country
and but 1900 miles of wire. In the ter
ritory of Paraguay there are only $40
miles Of wire in operation, and the entire
telegraphio service Of that country re-
quires the services Of but 23 persons.
One line of 800 miles, owned and oper-
ated by the government, runs from AS
uncion to Paso de Patria, the limit of
Paraguayan territory, and the other 100
miles by the railroad from Asuncion to
Pirapo.
Owing to high water and forest fires
in that country the line is often inter-
rupted for a days at time. At Paso de
Patria the line breaks, there being no
cable-ov the Alto Parans river, which
| ia three miles wide. Communication is
therefore by canoe. which takes mes
sages over in the morning to the Argen-
tine side and returns to the Paraguayan
side atnight. An important telegram Is
