SOME FAMOUS LlNGUISTS.
Men Whose Attachments May be Mem
toned with those of MezLofanti.
(From the Albany Argus J

(ffOm Upe AlDany argus
There are said to be $50 distinct Ian
guages spoken by peoples now living in
the world, and about 5000 dialects. or
the various languages, 80 are allotted to
Europe, l23 to Asia, ia to Africa, III to
America, and All to the islands of the
Pauitlc oceans. No one man could ever
learn all these languages, however, great
his powers of memory might be, but
there have at all periods been some ex-
ira ordi narily gifted persons who &C
quired many tongues
DIR Gottlib William Leitner, who died
at Bonn, in Germany, last March, WAS
| the most noted lingust Of this genera
ton, speaking and writing fifty lam
guages. He was interpreter to the British
army in the Crimean war. and was es-
peoially learned in the Oriental Ian
gusges. The most famous linguists of an
tiquity were Mithrldates, King of Pontus,
who is said to have been thoroughly con-
versant with the languages of the twenty
live nations over which his rule extended (;
and Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, of whom
Plutarch says that ''she spoke most Ian
guages," and that "there We're but few of
the foreign am bassadors 10 whom she
gave audience through an interpreter. -
The ancient Romans do not seem to
have excelled as linguists, few of them
having added TO their native Latin the
know ledge of any other language than
Greek. In the middle ages, the wars OF
the Crusades gaye new impulse to the
study of langua ses, and the German En-
peIor Frederick II. spoke tluently six.
Archbishop kin enes OF Toledo, in the
thirteenth century, spoke ny, least seven
| languages and probably more. lico della
Mirandola, an Italian born in li63,
learned twenty-five languages. William
Postel. Frenchman born in 1910, was
| familiar with fifteen languages. l., j.
Soaliger. another anon French scholar,
born in 1854 spoke thirteen languages
aud Claude Duret acquired seventeen.
Eusebius henaudot, born at Paris in lG4j,
also mastered seventeen languages. b
! bulgaDce tIesrel had the reputation Oi
knowing twenty languages.
One OF the must ceie bratSd inguistS o!

THE TRAVELLERS AID.
How the y. ". q. A. Cares for Young
Women Travellers.

Quietly and faithfully has the Young
women's Christian association been doing
a work in Portland, which is at yet little
known. At 10 A street there Is Home
under the care of railroad matron EN-
ployed by the association. AS the Young
Mems Railroad Branch ministers to the
en- ployes, the Travellers Aid extends Its
hospitality to the patrons of the railroad.
Situated near the Union station. the
matron meets the through ira ins Of the
Boston and Mai ne and OF the Maine Cen
trial, and wearing as she does the badge OF
the Y. W. G. A. no woman would hesi-
tate to ask assistance of her--for the asso-
citation extends its sympathy to women
OF all creeds and to those Of none,
The Travellers Aid started about
three years ago when the work was pre-
sented to the association, at that time IN
It's infancy, by a commercial traveller
who had seen the idea successfully carried
out in other places. The plans wheh
brought before the railroad companies
were so warmly endorsed that thsJ agreed
to assist in It's support, and as the WORK
grew their assistance became more gener-
Gus for there is no branch of the Port
land Y. w. c. A. work that appeals &c
the business man as this practical service
in Christ's name Obligations to patrons,
recognized as such by the corporations,
are met; and tine eity's hospitality to
strangers Is enhanced.
Much emphasis could be given to the
necessity for this work by considering the
needs of the women who avail themselves
of the Home. Young women unused to
travelling, uusnphisticated in the ways of
he world, with means insufficient to go
to q hotel, reach Portland at night to find
there are several hours to wait or that
they have missed their connection entire
ly. We're 1t not for the Travellers Aid,
these young women would necessarily
wait during this time in the station. The
physical strain, the anxiety of mind, the
temptations, the often objectionable
familiarity are all avoided in the quiet of
the Home Children sent in care OF con
ductors, girls unabls to speak English, or
those from the Provinces seeking employ
ment in n strange city, young women not
having calculated on the difference in
time of Sunday trains, women whatever
their needs are welcomed here. BY the
payment of twenty-five cents, nights
lodging may be procured. At present.
there ara but three rooms fitted up IA
sleeping rooms, but as means are pro-
vided to enlarge the work and to add
more comforts to the Home. greater will
lie Portland's opportunities to shelter the
friendless and entertain the strangers
within her doors.
