The Number of Languages.

The least learned are aware that there
are many languages in the world, but
the actual number is probably beyond
the dreams of ordinary people. The
geographer Bald enumerated $50 which
are entitled to be considered as dis
tinct languages, and5, 5,Co0 which may be
regarded as dialects. Adulguns, an
other modern writer on this subject,
reckons up 1864 languages and dialects
existing, and which have existed. Even
after we have allowed either of these
as the number of languages, we must
acknowledge the existence of almost
infinite minor diversities; for almost
every province has tongue more r less
peculiar, and this we may well believe to
be the case throughout the world at
large. It is said there are little islands
lying close together in the South seas,
the inhabitants of which do not under
stand each other. Of the $50 distinct
languages enumerated by Baldi. SO be-
long to Europe, ia to Africa, 1913 to
Asia, All to America. 1T to Oceania-
by which'term he distinguishes the vast
number of islands stretching between
Hindustan and South America.-Lon-

Great Strength of the Hair.

1t is interesting to others than stats
ticians to know that the hairs of our
heads are numbered. Certain scientific
men have laboriously calculated the
number of hairs on a square inch OF
heads of different colors, and by esti-
mating the total area covered have ar
rived at aggregate numbers. which may
be taken as fairly correct. To show the
well-intentioned accuracy of those cal
culatiens head of hair consists of 143,-
Oc0 hairs. Dark hair is coarser and only
totals 10000; while those who boast a
poll of red must be content with q
total of 29,200. 1t is estimated that the
hairs on fair head" would support
the weight OF 500 people.-Boston Trav-
eler.

blood and nerve remedy, which did, and
in six weeks | was we'll woman. AL
though it is four years ago, have had no
return of the trouble.
"My sister also was troubled with
rheumatism and advised her to try DIR.
Greene's Nervura, which she did, and re-
ceived great relief from it. l consider
DIR. Greene's Nervura godsend to me
and gladly recommend it."
We would say that Mrs. Duggan's ad-
vice as nurse is endorsed and approved
by physicians. DR.. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy is indeed won-
derful discovery and of incalculable and
inestimable value to the sick everywhere.
1t is the surest known cure for rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, headaches, nervous weak
mess and debility, weak, tired feelings,
and all affections of the blood and nerves.
1t has been proved over and over again,
in thousands upon thousands of cases,
that it does cure, that it makes the sick
we'll.
Physicians know of its great value, for
they have seen it perform wonders in re-
storing health, and they, as well as nurses,
recommend it freely to the sick because it
is the prescription of the successful ply
