The Languages of the World.

Some interesting statistics have been
compiled by Frenchman respecting the
different languages spoken in various
parts of the world. He states that the
language in which Shakespeare and Mil
ton wrote was then that of less than six
millions human beings. French was
the mother tongue Of at least thirty mil
lion people at time when English was
spoken by less than sixteen million, and
SO, 900, 900 of French speaking people
were living when the Revolution broke
out in 1889. Between forty and fifty
years the English language equalled the
German in the number of those who
spoke it, and now the latter is left far
behind. German is now spoken by TO-
600, 900 in the Austro- Hungarian en-
pire, by 46, 900, 900 in the German en-
pire, by 1900, 900 in Belgium, and by
about 1000, 900 in Switzerland. German
is also spoken by about 100000 per-
sons in the United States and Canada,
giving a total of abont $4,000, 600 who
use the German language. French is
spoken by the 3S, 900, 600 inhabitants of
France, by $500, 900 people in Belgium,
by 200, 600 in Alsace-L Lorraine, BY 60O,-

there is attached bit of the twig on
which the fruit had grown. Ycu will
then get fruit that is not overripe and
that will last for few days at least.
Picked and packed, the fruit is sent
from here in carload lots, and nearly all
that finds its way to the Eastern market
goes over the Ocean Steamship Line from
Savannah, which has steamers running
to New York, Boston and Philadelphia.
This line takes to New York about
10, 900 boxes week during the season,
which lasts from the middle of Novem-
Der until about the middle OF April or
the 1st af May. Other lines of steamers
take from here about half that quantity,
SO that there is little wonder that the
market in New York City is occasionally
overstocked, as the line OF steamers re-
ferred to supplies all that the markets in
Boston and Philadelphia can use direct.
Chicago, st. Louis and Kansas City are
the great distributing points in the West,
and to those points about as much fruit
is shipped weekly as to the Eastern mar

Spirit!sm Among Savages.


The New Zealander is certain that the
soul leaves the body while he sleeps, and
that his dreams represent actual scenes
lived through while away from the body.
The Greenlander believes that the soul
at night leaves the body and hunts,
dances and makes calls. An Indian of
Guiana gave one of his slaves solid
thrashing in the morning because he
dreamed the slave had offended him in
his sleep. Many savages are afraid of
calling anyone who sleeps, because they
fear sudden awakening might not give
the soul sufficient time to return to the
body. Even the Japanese believe that.
Not only does the savage believe his soul
leaves the body while he sleeps, but that
it receives visits from other souls, SINH
larly away from. their bodies, not only
in sleep, but permanently separated by
death. This belief is only an enlarge
ment of the first, and very rational one,
too. It is modern spiritism exactly.
The modern spiritists are people upon
the same mental standpoint as the saw
ages. They are unable to discriminate
between subje :tive impressions and OBJ
iective realities. To the unsubstantial
imagination of their sleeping and waking
dreams, they give the form of reality.
They are not conscious of the deceit, but
unable, from lack of mental criticism, to
see the delusion. 6piritism is the saw
ages theory of soul in new dress. -

Do Not Waste the Fragments of Time.

More may be learned by devoting Q
few moments daily to reading than Is
commonly supposed. Five pages may
be read in fifteen minutes; at which rate
one may peruse twenty-six volumes OF
200 pages each in a year. You say you
have none to guide you. The best
scholars and men of science will tell you
that by far the most valuable part OF
their education is that which they have
given themselves. Volumes have been
filled with the autobiography of self
taught men. Think of Franklin, the
printer; of Lime, the shoemaker; of
John Hunter, the cabinetmaker; Of
Doland, the weaver; of Herschel, the
astronomer, of Turner, the painter; of
Burritt, the blacksmith. Love learning
and you will become learned. When
there is will there will be way. Be-
gin at once; take time by the forelock,
and remember that it is only the first
step that costs; and, having begun, re-
solve to learn something every day.
Strike the blow aud avoid the weakness
of those who spend half of life in think
ing what they shall do next. Always
have volume near you, which you may
pick up at such odd minutes as are your
own. 1t is incredible, until trial has
been made, how much real knowledge
may be acquired in these fragments OF
tune. Detroit Free Press.

Foreigners are sometimes inclined to
twit Americans about their pride in the
mightiness of Yankeeland; but that
pride has broad and very solid founda-
tion, boasts the New York News. Rail-
way expansion has been the great BAR
ometer of National progress during the
last seventy years. Measured by this
guage we find that the United States
comes very near beating call creation, =
for we have more miles of railroad than
all the old world combined. The rail-
way mileage of Europe, Asia and Africa
now aggregates 159, 655 miles. The rail-
sways of the United States reach 16S,-
597 miles. We have 44.18 per cent. of
all the railroads on earth, the fraction
needed to make up the majority being
within the bounds of our American
neighbors.

A Wonderful Bedspread.

During recent afternoon and evening
there was on exhibition at the residence
of Miss Alice r.. johnson an exquisite
article of fancy work. 1t is the property
of Mr.. and Mrs. Austin M. Lawrence, of
Montague, Miss, who are both well
known in Hartford. 1t Is bedspread,
knit entirely by Mrs. Lawrence. As the
writer was among those fortunate enough
to be of the spectators, he feels that the
ladies of Hartford will be interested in
pen description of it.
1t is not crocheted, but knit, of No.
80 "Glasgow" Connecticut thread-and
it required twenty-five spools. of 800
yards each, to complete tt. There are
thirty squares, of $4,000 stitches each,
uniform in size and design-an intricate
pattern of futing and raised work in
leaves, etc. These squares are 'tsashed
together" with 25 -incn wide satin ribbon
with watered edges, which blend with
the web-llke texture beautifully. These
sashes form loops with ends finished with
pearl ornaments having pendants.
Around the spread is an edge four in
ches wide, knit to correspond with the
designs of the squares.
At the center top of the spread is an
Alsatian bow of the sash ribbon, requir.
ing several yards. the ends, nearly three
feet in length, being finished with pearl
like the sashes.
1t has taken Mrs. Lawrence year OF
constant work to complete thiss marvel,
for which she has recently decliaed an
offer of $500. Hartford Conn., Times.

A paragraph is now going the rounds
to the effect that in Shakespeare's day
there were less than 5000, 900 English
speaking people. This is printed as
something remarkable, states the New
York Advertiser. But it is not so won-
derful as the spread of the same tongue
in the present century. In the year
1900 English was spoken by 20, 600, 900,
and to-day it is the common tongue of
more than liz, ,000,O 900. At the same
rate of increase Gladstone estimates that
before the close of the coming century 1t
will be the language of 1000, 900, 900
people.

Why the Mulberry isn't Popular.

We have never seen any variety OF the
mulberry in the markets of this city and
doubt very much if they would sell If
sent here. Many years ago the Downing
mulberry was highly extolied as dessert
fruit, and while it is probably the best
variety in cultivation, it does not seem
to find its way to our markets, probably
because there are far better berries and
these less troublesome to gather aud
prepare for the table. In picking null
berries the stem always adheres firmly TO
the fruit and this must be cut OF with
knife or shears before the berries are
cooked or served on the table. MuI-
berries are excellent fruit for birds and
children, but are not likely 20 be placed

The passport bureaus are all under the
police in Russia, says Frank G.. Carpen-
ter. Every man and every woman in
Russia must have passport, and if they
move from one place to another or from
one house to another this passport must
be vised by the police. If a husband
goes out of the country and wishes his
wife to follow him he must arrange so
that she can get a passport from the
police, and this will be granted her
only on the application of her husband
md will not be given without bis per-
mission. Every large hotel of Russia
has its passport bureau, and you hand in
your passport the moment you arrive and
the hotekkeeper has it vised for you and
gives it back to you within an hour or
so. In leaving the hotel you will not
need to have it again vised without you
are going out of the country, but the
landlord always asks you where you are
going, and the moment you leave word
is sent to the police as to the date of
your departure and the place Of your des-
tinatioD. Landlords are compelled to at
tend to such matters, and they are fined
if they do not send in the passports
promptly. have heard of the necessity
Of one always having passport with
him, and since have been IN Russia
have carried mine constantly in my left
breast pocket. I have never had it called
for. however, but it is, am told, nec-
cessary if one would get checks cashed
at the banks or letters at the postoffice.
The policemen of Russia are not very
we'll paid and salaries are very low
throughout the Russian Empire. It is
the same with the soldiers. The Gear
has something like million men in his
army, but these do not receive as much
as postage stamp day for their work,
and the ordinary policeman only gets
$12 month. The Chief of the Police
Districts here receives only $1250 a
year, and in the interior policeman often
receives no more than $3.50 month
and pay their own expenses.

The Loon and Her Young.

Hon. Lewis M. Lellan, of Gorham,
Me-, while fishing for iand-locked salmon
in Scbago Lake, was surprised to see
loon with her young one near his canoe.
The anxious mother was employing
every artifce to call her child away, but
the little one swan so near the fisher
that he easily took him aboard in his
landing net, and holding him on one
knee gently stroked his downy coat to
the little fellows evident satisfaction.
Meanwhile the mother was in an agony
of distress.
At first. forgetting her native wildness
and timidity i'll her mothers love, she
boldly approached the canoe, and, rising
in the water till she appeared to stand
upon it, furiously tapped her wings,
uttering menacing cries. Finding this of
no avail she pretended that she was
wounded, rolling over IN the water, and
finally lying still as if dead, evidently to
attract attention to herself and from her
young one. The fisherman, touched by
these displays of motherly affection, put
the young loon into the water. The
distressed mother instantly came to life
and again tried to entice her little one
tc go with her, but he liked his new ac-
quaintance so we'll that he remained near
the boat, until the fisherman rapidly
padded away for considerable dis
tance, when he waited to see the out
come OF this adventure. AS he with
drew the mother with cries of JOY swan
to the little one, dived beneath him, and
taking him on her back quickly bore
him to safe distance, when she stopped
aud seemed to be talking to her truant
child in very different tones from the
s.wild. strange hoarse laughter by day
and the weird, doleful cry at night,
which John Burroughs attributes to this
bird. The fisher says he never imagined
the loon could produce such soft, sweet,
melodious notes as he then heard. -

American Children.

We keep our children with US all we
can, and if they have to study away from
the mothers eye it is felt as a necessity
that cannot be overpowered, and as soon
az study is over the children are back
with their parents. They eat all to-
gether, and when guests are present the
children, being accustomed to their
presence, do not act either rudely or self
consciously. The manners Of our chill

That 10, 900 Boston women took the
trouble to register SO as to insure theii
right to vote on school matters this year
is, in the estimation of the New York
Press. an encouraging indication that
women are more and more interesting
themselves in questions related to the
education of their children.
