The Laden Boughs Present a Picture
of Grandeur at Farvicw.

The hilltops of this vicinity present
an exceptionally picturesque appear
ance, but never before has there been
such a scene of grandeur as now meets
the gaze at Farview. The ice-laden
boughs of that altitudinous summer re-
sort loom up like lodges of adamant and
glisten as a mountain OF the rarest
gems.
Humidity and cold have converted
twigs of lead pencil size into limbs
inches in diameter, borne tree tops to
earth and made weeping willows of
veritable monarchs of the forest. Tele-
graph and telephone wires in that
vicinity have been snapped by the
weight of the ice collection and all
nature is in the icy grasp of the Frost
King.
The surprising beauty of Winters
handiwork will repay anyone for TAX
ing a trip over the far-famed gravity.
Several persons of this city will visit
Farview this morning and if this
weather should continue another day
or two it is fair to presume hundreds
will avail themselves of this unusual
privilege.

ENGLISH SPOKEN AND WRITTEN
Two.thirds OF the Correspondence OF
the World Done in That Language.

From the New York Sun.
At the recent Postal congress atten-
tion was called to the fact that two
thirds OF all the letters which pass
through the postoffices of the world are
written by and sent to people who
speak English. There are substantial
ly 5OO000,000 persons speaking col
loquially one or another of the ten or
twelve chief modern languages, and Of
these about % per cent, or 125, 900, 900
persons, speak English. About 9O,00O,-
900 speak Russian, 75.000000 German,
55,00O,O00 French, $4,000 900 Spanish. 35,-
100000 Italian, and 100000 Portu-
guese, and the balance Hungarian,
Dutch, Polish, Flemish, Bohemian,
Gaelic, Roumanian, Swedish Finnish,
Danish and Norwegian. Thus. while
only one-quarter of those who employ
the facilities of the postal departments
OF civilized governments speak as their
native tongue English, two-thirds of
those who correspond do so in the
English language. This situation arises
from the fact that SO large a share
Of the commercial business of the world
is done in English even among those
who do not speak English as their ma
tive language. There are, for instance,
more than 10000 postoffices in India,
the business of which in letters and
papers aggregates more than 10000, 900
parcels a year, and the business of
these offices is done chiefly In Eng
lsh. though of Indias total population,
which is nearly 300,000,000, fewer than
100000 persons either speak or under
stand English.
Though 90,000,000 speak or understand
Russian, the business of the Russian
most department is relatively small.
the number of letters sent throughout
the Cars empire amounting to less
than one-tenth the number mailed in
Great Britain alone. though the popu-
lation of Great Britain is considerably
less than one-half of the population of
Russia in Europe. The Southern and
Central American countries in which
either Spanish or Portuguese is spoken
do comparatively little postoffice bust
Eess, the total number of letters mailed
and collected in year in all the coun-
tries of South and Central America
and the West Indies being less than in
Australia. Chilli and Argentina are, in
fact, the only two South American
countries in which any important post
al business is done, and most of the
letters received from or sent to foreign
countries are not in Spanish, but in
English, French, German or Italian.
