Cermanic Speech

AS many as 100000 Germans have
removed to the United States since 1920.
In 1880 the population Of the German
empire included 2.Seo.Ooo of Polish
speech, 100000 of French. 10000 Of
Danish, 10000 of Lettish, $4,000 Of
Wendish, and $4,000 of Czecksh or Bo-
hemian. There are at present in Eu-
rope over 100000 Of Germanic speech,
IL the 100000 Dutch and Flemish
speaking inhabitants of the Low coun-
tries be included. The Teutonic ma
tionality has doubled in Europe since
1910: but the increase has been almost
entirely in urban population, which adj
yanced from 14790,0O0 in 1871 to 1870
600 in 1880, while that Of the rural dis
tricts remained almost stationary dur
ing the same period, 26.219.0oo and 26,-
513. 900 respectively.

out of his brain, and he could half
rise from his pillow. No one was to

to him to show pity. The tears rained

PART II.

That night the wind had a Dreadful
soughing in its voice-a lamentable
voice that came along the rain-wet
face of the hills, with a prolonged
moaning and sobbing.
Down in the big room that was
kitchen and sitting room in one,
where Gorromalt sat,-for he had risen
from his bed, for all that he was so
weak and giddy-there was semi-dark-
ness. His wife had pleaded for the
oil lamp, because the shadows within
and the wild wind without-though, I
am thinking, most of the shadows
within her brain-filled her with dread;
but he would not have it, no, not
candle, even. The peats glowed, red
hot: above them the small, narrow
pine-logs cracked in a scarlet and
yellow blaze.
Hour after hour went by in silence
There were just the three of us.

fore the Board Of Directors Of the peni-
Tertiary at their regular meeting yester-
day afternoon and requested that the
quarantine IN force at the institution be
relaxed in regard 10 the admission OF
ministers and Sunday school workers.
This quarantine was put into force some
weeks ago. in view OF tho prevalence OF
smallpox at certain points on the sea-
coast OF Virginia. IL was made general
because visitors are constantly coming 10
the prison from an parts Of the state,
and it was not thought wise 10 undertake
10 make any discrimination as 10 visi-
tors The board. however. informed the
ministers yesterday that they were mad
vertently included in the order and that
the rule as to them was therefore amend
ed last week and that they would be adj
mitted hereafter.
