THE LANGUAGE OF THE EsQUi.
 MAU.

It is Spoken By the Inhabitants of
 More Than Ten Thousand Miles of
 Coast Land.
 The Esquimauan language, which is spoken at the extreme north of this hemisphere, Is also found in the north of Asia. The people have been called Orarlans, that is, Jewellers on the shore" They inhabit a narrow strip of country around the margin of Greenland, and to the west of Baffin's Bay, around all the great islands and down the coast to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, on the western shore of Hudson Bay, and about the bays and straits to the north; then to the west around Alaska. and still further along the Arctic shores of the eastern con- tinent. They thus extend along the winding island and mainland coast for more than ten thousand miles, in- habiting narrow fringe of country by the sea, and obtainig their livelihood therefrom. More than ten thousand miles of coastland are occupied by a people who speak one language.
 But in Newfoundland there are tribes which speak another tongue mixed with the Esquimauan, while on the southwest coast there are other tribes speaking mixed tongues; and the same is true of tribes inhabiting the northern coast of Asia. If we call these tongues Esquimauan, then the principal tongue is still homogeneous and a common medium or the com- munication of tribes occupying, as have said, more than ten thousand miles of the most difficult coast known to mankind. While there is inter- communication, 1t is infrequent be- cause of the difficulties and perils of Arctic navigation. Thus, in all that stretch of country there Is but one language. What are the conditions under which this language has been preserved in its integrity and homo geneity? Simply these: The territory occupied by the people speaking this language is cut off from the interior by an uninhabitable belt of glacial land, so that the means of communication are to be found mainly on the seaward side. The inhabitants, having been distributed over this enormous belt of coast from primitive tribe having one language, have preserved that lan- guage through all their vicissitudes and stages of culture; while in the south east, where the Esquimauan territory joins territory occupied by tribes having other tongues, we find mixed languages. The same facts ap- pear on the southern coast of Alaska, in languages differentiated from the main stock by admixture with other languages. With the exception point ed out, the Esquimauan language is the purest language known on this hemisphere. So far as they have been studied, all other languages are com pounded of at least two, and usually of many.-Forum.

THE INSURANCE ADJUSTED.


 On Even Mcintyre & Co.'S Damaged
 Stock-Mark Down Sale Opens To-
 Morrow.
 Ewen Mcintyre & Co.'S big dry goods store in the Hubinger building will be closed to business to-day in commence ration of the Washington's birthday. The regular force of no clerks will be kept busy, however, with 75 extra help marking down the goods damaged by the fire and smoke on the occasion of the fire Saturday night in the Bow ditch building. which adjoins the store. Forty of the seventy-five additional help required had been secured before 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. This force of 1855 persons will be pusily engaged all day marking goods and arranging for the great mark down sale which opens at 8 o'clock sharp tomorrow morning. The insurance adjusters were busy looking over the damaged stock yesterday and finished their labors at 5:3O o'clock, having adjusted the loss satisfactory to all parties concerned. The adjusters were John c. North of this city and three gentlemen from Hartford.
 The sale of the damaged goods which opens tomorrow morning will probably be one of the biggest sales of the kind held in New Haven in many years and will present rare opportunity to se- cure good bargains in goods damaged slightly, but not so badly as to impair their real value. The three gentlemen who assisted MT. North in the adjust ment were MT. Williams of the Aetna, MT. Stone of the National and MT. Fur ness of the Commercial Union.

BOHEMIAN FORESTS.
They Are systematically and Care
fully Protected by Govern
ment Regulations.


United States Consul Mahin writes to
thestate department. from Reichenberg;
bohemia is one of the most populous
countries on the globe. Its climate is
relatively cool, with rather severe win
ters. Therefore, much fuel is used and il
is largely taken from the forests which
cover the mountain sides. Yet, after the
many centuries during which these
forests have furnished fuel and build
ing material for a dense population,
they retain nearly their primeval area.
This is due to the forethought of the
government in ordaining that as trees
were cut down others should be plant
ed to fill the vacancies. Vast stretches
of dense forests cover the mountain
slopes of this district. The wood is
mostly pine. Trees are constantly bc-
ing cut, but wherever a clearing is
made, small trees are planted the next
spring. What at distance may APP
pear TO be bare spot in the forest,
on near view is seen to be covered with
little trees set out in symmetrical rows
and varying in height according to
the length of time since they were
planted. These new trees are raised
frorA the seed in small Enclosures scat
tered in the mountains, and are thence
transplanted. A similar custom in the
United States might yet avert the Sc
rious danger threatening at least the
western part of our country"

DANGEROUS FOR LOVERS.
A SERIOUS Warning 10 Those Who Are
In Love Regarding Nom
senHical Talk.

I don't know why the simple fact of
being in love should deprive people Of
the vestige of common sense with
which nature, never oyergenerous with
that rarest blessing, has endowed
them, but all my observation tends to
confirm me in the opinion that it does,
says a writer in the Washington Post.
For example, a man / know is en-
gagged to a Georgetown girl. That is,
he was engaged to her up to a quarter
TO ten o'clock Thursday night, week
before last. He went out to call on
her, and-but first must tell you that
she belongs to a Georgia family, and he
is from Boston, and both of them are
exceedingly proud of their birthplace
and ancestry. After few prelim-
inaries, said she to him: "Oh, let's hear
how fast you can say: "She sells sea
shells"
So, of course, he said: 'Se shells sea
Shells" and "She shells sea SELLS" and
"She sells she Shells" and "She sells
she SELLS" and goodness only knows
what till his tongue was so tangled up
that his mouth was full of knots. And
she began to laugh, &hd he told her
to say it herself. Then they both
went at it, and midway of their sybil-
lant mouthings somebody's temper be-
gan to get frayed at the edges. She said
that Boston people speak abominably,
anyway, and he retorted tn quoque,
about the Georgia dialect From dis
cussion of speech they came TO dis
cussion of manners, and things were
said which it were painful to repeat
The engagement was broken, as said
at 9:45 o'clock, II has stayed broken
ever since The rupture bids fair to
be permanent. And all this misery be-
cause-well, because two ordinarily in
telligent persons happened to be made
temporarily feeble-minded by mutual
affection.

PEOPLE WHO DIE.
Consumptive Travellers Are Not Want
ed by the Riviera Hotel Pro-
prietors in France.

The hotel proprietors in the south of
France and the Riviera, that land OF
sunshine and roses, where happiness
and holidays are the business of life,
will not take in a traveller who has the
appearance of being i'll or is consump-
tive looking. They would rather have a
fire than q death in the house any time.
For q death is the worst luck that can
befall them.
People go to the Riviera to enjoy
themselves, and anything which re-
minds one of the dark side Of life acts
as an effectual damper to gayety. 1t
was found some seven years ago that
hotels where deaths took place got a
bad name and did not prosper.
So at the present day when, not
withstanding all precautions, death
does happen to occur at Riviera hotel,
the corpse is taken out the very next
night by the back entrance and de-
posted in the nearest church or ceme-
tery. No mention is made of the death
by any of those who are aware of it,
and if one of the attendants should
chance to whisper a word of it to an
other It means instant dismissal, never
mind how old servant he is of the
hotel.
A very grewsome sight II is if you hap
pen 10 be returning late to your hotel,
and chance TO meet one of these silent
professions bearing q corpse to the
neighboring church. And under no
conditions can you find out whose body
IL is, as strict silence is observed by the
bearers.

tested in q tank at Haslar. The models
are from u TO "a feet long, and the tank
