A REMARKABLE LINGUIST.
She Can Speak Eleven Tongues, But
Spends Her Life at the Washtub.

She Can Speak Eleven Tongues, But
Spends Her Life at the Wnshtub.
Braddock Pa.) Cor. of the Boston Ad-
vertiser.
There is a woman here who can read,
write and speak any language from San
scrit to hog Latin. The faculty comes
to her as naturally as swimming does to
a duck.
Her knowledge is not the result of teach
ing, but of association with people of every
tongue. She speaks eleven languages flu
emily, yet she struggles over the washtub
in order that her six children can go to
school.
Mrs. Julia Antonishin was bora at
Arosamos, Hungary, thirty years ago.
Her parents were Germans. When she
was years old they moved to Aninina,
Germany, where she attended school for
six years, this being the limit of schooling
provided by the government.
Aninina was town of factories, where
people of every cline were employed. 1t
was like the Babylon of old, so great was
the confusion of tongues.
The children were strangers to each 9TH
er because of this barrier of misunder-
standing. Eventually the little ones sue
ceeded in mastering the languages of their
playmates. In the schools at Aninina they
were taught the German and Magyar
tongues.
Nine languages I picked up with the
children" said Mrs. Antonishin. Some
were easy and some were hard. / was not
the only child to do it, The slavish, Hun
garian, Polish, Russian. Bohemian, Rou-
manian, Servian, Magyar and Croatian
languages are much the same.
THAT is the letters are the same, but
of course you do not speak them alike
To-day I can speak, read and write eleven
To, ~,
call me to interpret.
1T is not enough. I must work to get
education for my children. My husband
labors at the Carnegie furnace, but he
does not make enough. l want so much
to get to be Interpreter In the courts.
"Then ! could educate my children.
Some tell me to get a petition for all the
'squires and people to sign, and then send
1t to the governor Is that right? Is that
the way TO get to be an Interpreter to edu-
cate your children"
Mrs. Antonishin was ironing Her hands
and face, the stoop of her shoulders and
the appearance of her kitchen testified to
her labors.
Her youngest child is years old and the
eldest 16.
Susie the eldest, and John, aged IA have
the mothers faculty for picking I'D for
eign tongues. With the exception of the
baby all the children attend the Braddock
schools.
George Antonishin came to Braddock
from Germany nine years ago. His wife
and children followed two years later. For
four years before her marriage and for
six years after Mrs. Antonishin was en-
ployed in the German postofice service.
where her knowledge of language brought
her great prestige.
When Mrs. Antonishin is not washing
she Is ironing, and when doing neither
she is trying to figure out an economic
policy that will give an education to her
children.

Train stops a Dog and Coon Fight.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
Pete the famous coon dog belonging to
Tom Leonard, of Lawrenceburg, Ind, was
killed recently in an unexpected manner.
A coon was seen upon the railroad bridge
over Tanners creek, and Leonard with his
dog and crowd of persons, went to the
place. The hunters hallOoed and threw
stones at the animal until it descended
within reach of the dog, and then ensued
a terrible fight between the enraged
brutes. Both fell from the bridge into the
bed of the creek, forty feet below. The
immersion into three feet of water forced
them TO release each other and swim for
their lives to land. The coon started for
the bridge, but was caught by the dog
on the railroad track, and the fight renew
ed Until too late the spectators did not
realize an approaching passenger train.
The dog held its enemy between the rails,
and made no effort to get away. The train
struck the animals and passed over their
bodies, mangling them to death

negro, Sam Nelson, of stealing $3.50 and

amount being in full settlement Of wages
due the negro. This made Mr.. Bradley

the negro Nelson, and when payday
came, he, according to Mr.. Bradley, went
TO the merchant, and paid him the order
of $3.50, which was due, and deducted IT
from the amount of wages that the negro
had earned, while working for him, tell
