THE WORLDS MAIL IN DETAIL.

At the beginning Of this century
about twelve per cent. of the civilized
world spoke English. at the middle OF
the century it was nineteen per cent.
and now, at it's close, it is thirty per
cent. The increase in letter writing
has been far more rapid than this, and
now out of the enormous number OF
1O,640,O0O,000 letters posted last year
S.000,000.000 We're written in English.
The march of intelligence headed by
the English speaking races, the won
derful decrease of illiteracy among
them, and the demands OF commerce.
with these same races in it's van,
have brought this result. Commerce
has extended the post office system to
all parts of the globe. into every nook
and corner of the civilized world, and
it's language has been evolved from the
English tongue. All races that enter
into commerce of necessity learn more
or less of the English language, and to
some considerable extent carry on
lish. Any one WHO fHr5y7s6BapaasflRGes 6aSp aasflRGes in Eng
tive merchants Of Hong Kong will be
impressed by this fact.
If you move with the world you must
do it in English. Then. English speak
ing persons write more letters because
more of them know how to write, for
while ninety-One per cent of them have
this accomplishment, but little more
than One-half of the persons speaking
other modern languages can write
their names. This is why the mail
matter of the world for last year held
thirty-One letters for each English
speaking person. German came next
with twenty-fOur. and French followed
with seventeen for each person.
Next to the English. with it's 8,0OO,-
100000 letters written last year, comes
the German with 1900. 600. 900: French,
1000. 100000: Italian. 220.OO0,OO0; Rus
sian, 1S0.0O0,0O0; Spanish. 100000. 900;

ENGLISH AS 1T is WRITTEN.
Half as Many More Letters in That Lam
gusgs as I'm All Others Combined.

Half rs Many More Letters in That Lam
gusgs ~ In All Oi hers Combined.
English is written more than any
other language. Statistics for 1898
emphasize the fact that more letters
are written in English than in all
of the other languages together.
To be more exact. three-fourthS OF
all the letters that go into the mails OF
the world are in English. This remark
able fact is the more impressive when
we remember that only about one
fourth of the civilized world speaks
our language. There are substantially
50O.0OO.0O0 persons who speak the ten
chief modern tongues. and of these
150,000.0O0 speak English. But the
number is increasing rapidly-beyOnd
all proportion as compared with the
growth of other languageS-and as the
English speaking people increase in
numbers, not only do the letters in the
language increase, but the number OF
letters per capita also increase.

Unlike the Brooklyn Bridge or the
Suspension Bridge at Niagara, these
Abyssinian engineers had no cable. no
scientific bands of steel Instead they
had only natures growth with which
to withstand natures force. But in
genuity succeeds in the absence Of
other resources.
1t is built upon the suspension plan,
hung from big cables made Of twisted
creepers; from these depend the up
rights bearing the floor supports. The
roadway Is very narrow for no one
ever travels across the hills except
with caravans Of porters bearing trade
goods.
The skill with which the bridge Is
,uilt is something marvellous.

Mexico.
WATER IS NOT NEEDED.

Thomas A. Edison. 1.-The Wizard" pro-
poses to work wonders from the sands

York published In the st. Louis Republic:

time this gold has had no value to man.
Mines could not be worked in that region
without water, and the csst Of getting u
dollars worth Of gold from this land by
former methods would have exceeded the
value OF the metal.
Thomas A. Edison, however, comes to
the front now with all electric apparatus
which promises TO clear up the problem
Of how TO get this valuable ore from the
sands OF New Mexico and other no TIL
western states and territories. y k.

HISTORY Of The PALLIUM.

ceremony October 4.
Bishop Mstz, OF Denver, has consented
to take part In the pallium ceremony,
aud will probably be selected to confer
the pallium upon Archbishop Bourgade,
says the New Mexican.
The history OF the pallium, though some.
what obscure, IL most interesting. IL
originally wa the Roman toga. which.
especially during the latter ages Of the
Roman empire, became a symbol OF high
official and even OF imperial dignity. At
the liturgical yestments werenot materi-
ally different during the early centuries
OF the church. from the garments worn
by philosophers, teachers or magistrates,
Il was natural that the cloak worn at
that time almost exclusively by those
high In authority should have been
adopted by the church to distinguish the
chief members OF the hierarchy.
The pallium In the course OF time I'M
derwent many notifications ~ 10 Its size
and shape. In Its present form II Is q

white lambs wool and worn on the shout
der by the pope. pstrisrchs and srchbish.
ops. Two pieces OF like material and
width depend from IL on the breast and
back OF the wearer, and worked on Ii are
crosses OF black silk into which are in
serted gold pins.
Much importance IL naturally attached
to the outward symbols, which typify q
grand idea or which designate dignity,
office and rank. Ii IL an outward sign OF
spiritual loyalty on the part Of the pre-
late invested with II to the see OF Peter a
mark OF high dignity to which he has
been raised. aud a reminder Of grave re-
spOnsibilities which the office entails.
The pallium Ia blessed by the sovereign
pOntif or by a delegated cardinal on
the eve OF the feasts Of Saints Peter
and Paul. laid on the tomb Of the prince
OF ap0stOles, and sent TO the patriarch or
archbishops who have been newly ap.
pointed to rule dioceses throughout the
church.
This sac red ornament thus taken from
the tomb OF st. Peter. and sent by his &C.
clesiastical successor to more firmly and
lovingly bind the recipient to the center
OF Catholic unity, Is the badge OF pOnti.
fetal power In its fullness, for when In.
vested with II, a patriarch, or archbishop
acquires the plentitnde OF that jurisdic-
tion In his diocese. province or patriarch
ate. which the laws OF the church direct
he should possess and exercise. This vest e
meDt OF white wool worn on the should
ers, IL an emblem OF the good shepherd,
who. after having found the lost sheep,
carries II back 10 the fold.
The last time the pallium was con-
ferred, was upon Archbishop Louis
Chapelle. October II, 1895.
