It Is Built Upon Two Languages We
Should BE Familiar With.
In a very recent volume, Race and
Language, Prof. Andre Lefevre, OF
Paris, has presented a critical study OF
the origin of language, showing in a
mastery way how the evolution OF
tongues is related to the evolution OF
man. Some of his statements with ref
erence to our own language are ex+
ceedlngly interesting, quoting, as he
does, statistics collected by different
individuals, Turner among them.
The Saxon element has to some en-
tent given place to the German and
one thousand words used by King Al
fred one-fifth are now obsolete. Ithas
been shown by actual counting of the
words by NJ Thommerel that out OF
forty-three thousand words thirty
thousand come from the classical Lam
guages and thirteen thousand from the
German.
Now of those thirty Thousand

Hence there is an infinite wealth OF
synonyms-that is, of expressions ap

predominates in all that relates to the
product of nature, minerals, plants
living animals, to the structure of the
human body, to temperature, to at
mospherical phenomena, in the name:
of utensils, furniture and tools. Al

Saved BY His Mileage Ticket.

Mileage tickets in Berlin go by the
name of ''kilometerheft," and the
stamped stubs show exactly when and
where the holder Of the ticket was at
any given time and place. This is
what saved the drummer from a Carls-
ruhe firm the other day in predica-
ment. Just as he was climbing into a
train leaving for Mannheim he vas ar
rested. An awful crime had been COM
mitted a few hours before in the
Haardt forest, not far away, and the
minute description of the perpetrator
tailed exactly with the appearance OF
the unfortunate drummer. Then the
ticket came to his rescue. That fur
nished an undeniable alibi for him, as
it showed him to have been one hun
dred miles from the scene of the crime
at the time of it's occurrence. The
proof was furnished SO promptly tina
the drummer did not even miss his
train.-Boston Transcript

HER EYES.

GSeom her eyes the 'prisoned sunbeacaR.
Shining bright,
SC j their message to the dark soul.
Through the night.
Till the encircling gloom is pierced,
And there is light
But within the deep recesses
OF those eyes,
Beyond the sunbeams' realm,
A shadow lies.
NO loving ones sad
Yet sweet surprise
For sympathy is deepest
Where the pain
Eas passed from soul to soul,
And back again;
The comfort like the sunlight
After rain
AS underlies the sweetest song
The saddeSt strain.

There were in all 430 deaths reported
from sixty cities, towns and villages and
sanitary districts, aggregating population

sive of that of San Francisco, which has
not been made for the past month.
Reports from twenty-eight localities out
side of the larger cities and towns show
that the most prevalent diseases are bron-
chitis, dysentery, diarrhea, measles,

the State Board of Trade and A. Gorman'
the representative here of Mrs. s. Z. Dooley,
there is no foundation whatever for the
stories of a clash between the board ana
Mrs. Dooley over the California building at
the Atlanta Exposition. Mr.. Fucher salo'
yesterday afternoon:
"There is no friction at all. In the
absence of any State appropriation or
other public assistance Mrs. Dooley simply
went ahead, as a matter OF private enter
ise-public-spirited enough, too-anc ar
ranged for the construction of the building
at the Atlanta Exposition to be known as
the State of California building. She did
not make any proposition, as stated, to the
State Board of Trade for space at 81 per
square foot; neither were we informed
that there was no other available space.
1.-THE fact is that Director-General J. ";
Collier has given to us CONCESSION OF ooUo
square feet of space, and if the various
county Supervisors of the State, at their
convention on the oath inst, do something
toward covering the expenses OF making
creditable exhibit there, our State Will Dc
well represented.
''From the reports to us by General
Passenger Agent I. II. Goodman ana zen
eral Travelling Passenger Agent 0. 7. Nc
Carty of the Southern Pacific, the latter
having paid a visit to Atlanta, and also
from the examination of the subject made
by W. H. Mills, the chairman OF our speclal
committed we feel that our State ought to
make good showing. .
nThe management of the exposition is
holding out the best inducements to US
and I have no doubt that we will have
creditable exhibit. Under the law the
Supervisors of the State can spend sol ,5Oo
in the aggregate per annum for che adver-
Using of its resources, and this Is Just
about as good a way as any to advertise"

VIEWED BY A RETAILER
The Effect of PatroniZing Home
Industries and Home
Dealers.
F, w, pohrmann Makes Many Valu-
able Suggestions Of Interest
to Californians.

Already the effects of the great meeting
of the Manufacturers and Producers AS
ISOLATION, held Friday night at Metro
politan Temple, are becoming apparent.
More interest, it is very plainly to be seen,
is taken in the agitation of the home
product idea than has been manifested at
any time, and retailers and jobbers who
have to certain extent taken only pas
sive interest are now awakening to proper
sense of the benefits to be derived from en-
couraging the development of home manu-.
features.
Frederick w. Dohrmann, president OF
the Merchants Association, said last night
on this subject:
Looking at this movement from the
standpoint of retailer 1 would say that
it NAV be assumed that the retailers do not
favor dealing in home manufactures, at
least that has been charged. 1t is a great
mistake since every dollar kept here will
circulate through the retailers hand
number of times. Besides the prosperity
which home manufactures bring to COM
munity they constitute the very element
which enables the retailer to make his
profit.
| alt is daily occurrence with every mer-
chant doing business with our Weather
| classes, to have customers come in to
| match something which they themselves
| i'm ported or brought from other cities,
only to find very often that they could
| have done as we'll at home. 1t seems that
very few people realize-the wife of the
| capitalist, for Instance-that her husbands
| tenants cannot pay good rent If she
| spends her money in other cities in place
of disbursing it here.
Besides making home productions
popular, 1 would suggest that the Manu-
| facturers' and Producers Association take
| an interest in every movement that tends
to increase the number of consumers on
the coast. l have in view the pleasure
! seekers, health seekers and home-seekers-
| the latter principally.
81 spent a few weeks in Southern Cali
| fornia lately, where it seemed to me every
thing and everybody was catering to these
three classes, and 1 must say very success
| fully so.
"Fully 20 900 strangers visit our southern
neighbors annually. Assuming that each
one spent $1C0 there it makes total of
| 50, 100000 a year. Looking at the fine
| houses, many of them just being built,
and inquiring who was building them I
was nearly always told some man from
| Kansas, or from Nebraska, and l set down
another million as the annual addition to
the capital of our neighbors.
'tWhat have we done here by compare
son? Why are not San Jose, Santa Cruz,
| Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley, ETC., as good
cllmatlcl resorts as many of the southern
cities?
.'Why are not our watering-places and
mineral springs the places for health
seekers?
"Why are not the San Joaquin, Sacra-
mento, Napa, Santa Clara and other val
leys and the foothills surrounding them
the ideal places for home-seekers p"

to the British Consul

The funeral of Walter Armstrong. who.
committed suicide because of financial
troubles and also because Mrs. Nellie
Hughes no longer loved him, took place
last Friday. In response to a cable sent

brother sent $3.50 through the London and
San Francisco Bank, and the interment
took place in Cypress Lawn Cemetery.
Mrs. Nellie Hughes attended the funeral
ceremonies and laid a very handsome
floral wreath on the casket.
Vice-Consul Moore did not feel satisfied
In carrying out the wishes of the deceased
in regard to cremation, but he has for.
warded all the particulars to Mr.. Arm
strong In England, and if he wants the
ashes of the dead the ceremony will take
place and they will be forwarded.

LETTER FROM TURKEY.

We are enabled to give our readers
the following extract from letter,
written Nov. II, at Haskeng by
Miss Martha Gleason of McIndoes,
now one of the American Board mis-
sionares in Turkey. 1t gives a
graphic picture of the terrible times
in that barbarous country.
| wish | had something cheerful to
write you but have not felt so troubled
since these dreadful times began as | do
now. We learn of massacre after masa-
ere and there seems to be no end to it.
A plot to dethrone the sultan was dis
covered and the ministry changed. There
is no boubt the government will be over
thrown and good may come of all this
bloodshed, but just how it is to come
about is what worries us very much. A
great uprising is feared by many, but we
hope this will not come. | have some
flags to hang out so there will be no
danger for us. hear the English fleet is
to come in tomorrow but we have heard
this so many times we cannot hope it is
true. Why they are so long coming we
cannot understand. The English papers
are seized and not allowed to be dis
tributed. Lord Salisbury's speech must
have been strong against Turkey. They
have done enough talking, It's high time
they acted. We are SO out of patience,
of course we cannot understand all that
is involved in their coming here. The
| poor Armenians have been misrepresented
by those who say they began the troubles
They endured till they could no longer
and now they are struck down with no
opportunity to defend themselves. Mr.
Poets says there must have been as many
as 10000 killed the past three weeks, A
man coming from Erzroom says all the
way to the sea is desolated, every AR
menian village burned to the ground
The missionaries are in great danger
though the sultan has promised to pro-
tect them. They cannot come away, it is
so dangerous to travel and then it woulC
be cruel to the Armenans, who look tC
them as their only help and comfort, tC
run off and leave them. We have had {
great time deciding what was best to do
| oituutNu ao many vi lISlil arc III lh'
midst OF great dangers, and we have de
cided with them it is best to stay in tn,
place where Providence has placed then
and to stand by the Armenians, be al
the help and comfort we can to them

week things will be arranged but how
long they drag on. We keep right OF
