Many Widely Dtmerent Tongues Sp0s

In the Austrian Alps tho local dialects
60 vary as to DO unintelligible from one
district to another and yet have been cul-
tivated in passion plays and popular
poetry. Over and above these dialects are
Internationally In lower Austria, but
even round Vienna-Slav colonies, Czechs,
Slovaks, Croats In Vienna itself tho
Czechs claim to be 100, 900. Slovenians
spread over three crown lands-Styria,
Carinthia and Carniola-and dominate In
the last, which contains also Uscoks, Ro-
man Catholic Serbs; but the Slovenians
seem to be rotreating before tho Germans.
or these remarkable group occurs In
the barren Gottschoe country, southeast Of
Laybach, only inhabited since the four
tenth century. Here again we find q
dialect unintslligible to other Germans,
yet rich In tales and poetry. Strange to
say, the reawakening Of the Slovenian
race In the course Of the last hundred
years seems to have been determined by
the first Napoleon, who replaced German
In the normal schools Of the 30 called
lllyrian provinces (six In number) by
Sloyene and called forth the passionate
admiration Of the Slovenian poets. Tyrol
and Vorarlberg again, are divided be-
tween Germans, Italians and "Ladins"
(Latins), the SO called Romansch Of Swift
Eerland.
In the Tyrol also each valley has Its own
pronunciation, Its own accent, its express
sions unintelligible few miles off The
Ladins were predominant in tho sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries. Toward the
eighteenth century the Italians got the
upper hand, but seem now to be becoming
gradually outnumborcd by the Germans.
The Ladins form curious little group OF
from $1,000 to 20, 900 in Tyrol, with near
ly $4,000 in Friuli (besides the 10000 OF
the Grsons). Their language is nearer to
Provencal or Californian than to Italian.
They chiefly inhabit the valleys, while the
German climbs the mountain sides, Just
as he has done in Bohemia, the Czechs
mainly occupying the plains.-London

The Street and Sewer Depart
I ment gave Ash collectortsStidham a.
rap last night. 1t hard come to the
attention of Mr.. Webster that Mr..
Stidham had not been removing
ashes in certain parts Of the city on
time, which proved a nuisance to
those families so inconvenienced.
Mr.. Simmons favored action COM
polling the contractor to do the
work on time but it was not taken.
Mr.. Stidham was notified, however,
that if he was not properly equipped
to do the work by next Monday, the
department will take charge of the
work and hold his bondsmen respon-
sible for the expense.
Secretary Wiley reported the re-
ceipt of 80, 1913, payment in full
for street paving for which the COM
pany owes. Action on the request
Of the Delmarvia Telephone Com
pany to erect poles on Silverbrook
streets, was postponed because of
Mr., Webster's objection to the work.
City Solicitor Conrad gave the
board an opinion as to how much Of
the depth of lot can be assessed
for sewer purposes. He decided
that if a lot runs through an entire
square an assessessment can be
made for $50 feet and the balance
collected when the sewed is used.
Residents of Seventh and Ninth
streets sent petition to the board
asking that William Grantland be
reinstated as street cleaner on those
two streets. The petition was re-
ferred to Street Commissioner Nc
Closkey.
Director Webster called attention
to the fact that many persons have
failed to pay attention to the notice
that the department had given to
repair sidewalks. He was in favor
of doing the work and charging the
property owners. Director Sim.
mons said that the funds of the de-
partment would not warrant doing
the work, for persons who failsto
pay attention to notices to pave
would not pay the bills when pre-.
sented and the board would have to
wait more than year before legal
steps could be taken to collect tho
bills, The board will endeavor to
find some way to compel the prop
erty owners to pave.
A communication was received
from the Wilmington City Railway
Company in reference to a disputed
matter and the Board decided to
meet the representatives ofthe COM
pany at an early date and talk 1t
over.
Director Webster called attention
to the fact that a number OF busl-
ness houses have replaced the avn
ing flaps. Upon his motion the Sec
rotary was instructed that as soon
as complaint is made of such flaps
to have warrants issued for the Of
tenders. 1t is expected that officers
of the department will make a tour
of this city, and wherever such flaps
are found make complaint. Arrests
will follow.

To Cure Creaky Shoes.

"Cheap shoes are not necessarily OF poor

"Creaking often accounts for tho low
price. Cheap double soled shoes nearly
always crcak, and the reason is that the
two soles do not quite fit or ono Is of more
pliable material than the other, 80 that
they rub against zach other. Among tht
remedies usually tried is soaking the shoe

However, there Ia one certain and simple
remedy. 1t is to drive three little wooden
