BRlTONS WHO BAR ENGLISH.
Thousands of Native Inhabitants Can't
Speak Their Own Language.


Speak Their Own Language.
Not everybody is aware of the fact
that very considerable percentage of
the native born inhabitants Of the
British Isles cannot speak English.
In Wales, according to statistics, there
are 500, 036 persons who speak only
Welsh. Again, in the Highlands of
Scotland, Gaelic is the colloquial Ian
guage of 43, 73S persons, who are able
to speak nothing else. In Ireland
so, 121 sons of Erin can speak only
in Erse, the native Irish tongue.
That Erse is being displaced by the
tongue of the sister isle is made evil
dent by the fact that Rev. Joseph
Bosworth, writing in 1S48, gave Irish
as the commonly spoken tongue of
nearly 5000, 900 inhabitants. At that
time Welsh was spoken by 1000, 900
persons,
Strangely enough, while in Wales
fewer people speak both English and
Welsh than Welsh alone, in Scotland
almost five times as many people use
both languages as those who speak
Gaelic only, and in Ireland the pro-
portion is still greater, being twenty
speaking both to one who is able to
speak Irish only.
Manx is spoken in the Isle of Man.
The population of the island is So, 59S
The people are of Celtic extraction,
with an intermixture of Norwegian.
The island was under the rule of Nor
way from $40 to 1868 A. ID. Both
Manx and English are used in the pro-
mitigation of any new law in the
island.
The Channel Islands have popu-
lation of about 80, 600, and the Ian
guage spoken is French. Thus six
languages are used in the British Isles.
There is,it may be mentioned, Gel
tic dialect spoken in Brittany called
Armorican, or Breton. 1t is largely
of the nature of Welsh, and is the
last member of the Celtic group, five
of which are mentioned above.

An Amusing Story That Is Being Tol of
President arthur.

An Amusing story That Is Being Tol of
President arthur.
The Washington correspondent Of
the Chicago Record says; An amusing
story is being told of President Arthur
regarding an occurrence which hap
pened during the last year Of his oc-
cupancy of the White House. Hew
one of the most princely chief execu-
tiyes who have filed that high Office.
lie entertained lavishlv and dined out
quite frequently. President Arthur
kept late hours, and the ushers who
were on duty at the White House at
times went to sleep, depending on the
noise of tue carriage wheels and the
horses hoofs to wake them before the
president could reach the door. One
night a dinner was given in General
Arthur's honor by the governor Of the
Soldiers home, and 1t was 2.3O III the
morning before he returned. The four
ushers and policemen went to sleep,
three of them in an anteroom just east
of the private diningroom, and the
fourth went to the basement to in
dulge in a short nap.
While the guardians Of the peace
were asleep snow began falling, and
the presidents carriage sped noise
lessly to the mansion, and, of course,
the ushers slept on. No footman was
on the box, and on finding the doors
locked the president rang the bell, but
failed to receive any response, After
trying for several minutes to arouse
one he raised one of the windows and
climbed in. Finding the men asleep
the president took the carriage robes
and spread them over the men and re-
tired. Before daylight the slumberers
awoke and were startled to learn the
president had found they were negli-
gent.
1.-The jig is up, boys, remarked one
of them, as they anticipated dismissal
when the president reached his desk.
Finally they mustered mp courage
enough to apologize, to which Cen
efal Arthur replied:
Things are coming to apretty pass
when the president of the United
States is compelled to climb in the
window of his own house. Return to
your duties and do not let it happen
again" The fourth man, who wanted
to square himself, entered the presi-
dents office with great trepidation aud
hhmbly apologized, 80 you were
asleep, too, were you? ! did not know
it, but as long as you are manly
enough to confess l will overlook 1t

There had been a brilliant company
at the home of society leader, a

than for his mental attaiuments.

local creators, who made the noun
tains and rivers.
The principal goddess around whom
their tales centre was Pele, who ruled
over the volcanoes. She was brilliant
and powerful, and capable Of wreak-
ing great destruction. The people
think the eruptions occur because
Pele is angry, and they seek TO pro
pitiate her in many ways. In folk
lore tales she is called a woman. She
is won by suitor and married, then
becomes lady bountiful, and is del
fe after death. Maui was the fire

sembling in character Hercules Of the
Greeks. He was accredited with hav-

The religious system Of the Ha-
waiians gave rise to an organic church

is very strong. All, this, however,
only came about through the general
uplifting of civilization and the over
throwal of "Tabu, " which was accom-
plished about 1917. 1t came as a re-
suit probably of observances among
Europeans, and at time when the
people were rife for a change. When
it was found that there were no evil
results the change was greeted with
great joy, and the idols which were

ODD FISHING IN CALIFORNIA,


and Ink From Fishes.
eli, there!' shouted a boy, very
much out of breath, who had run up
from the beach at San Diego, Cal.
where the big rollers were piling in
with mighty roar.
"What is it?" yelled stableman.
"Squids, millions of 'em; they're
just in the surf. Can't you lend me
a horse?" gasred the boy.
''Is that SOP" said the man. "Why,"
looking around, ''here's couple Of
ponies waiting; jump On and I'll go
with you," and foyewith the two
sprang into the saddles and dashed
down to the beach.
"You can hook 'em right ashore" "
said the boy, and leaping off the pony
he picked up from the beach, where
he had previously laid it, a bamboo
rod about nine feet long that had
large hook at the end. Thus equipped,
he moved down to the waters edge.
it had been blowing a heavy south
caster, and great waves were coming
in, piling up long black masses of kelp
that wound away like serpents over
the sand. Here and there, Just on
the borders of the waves, were stran e
uncanny-looking creatures, six or
seven feet in length, with long finger
like tentacles and black, staring eyes
Some were high, dry and helpless;
others were half in the water, waving
their sucker-like tentacles as though
imploring aid, while out in the waves
others could be seen, either driven in
by some large fish or beaten in by the
sea-
"What good are they?" asked the
stableman, who had never seen the
animals.
"Good?" repeated the boy, "why,
it's fun catchin' 'em, and | can sell the
eyes and pen for fifty cents. Jest look
at 'em, will your and, digging his feet
into the reluctant bronch =, lie urged
him into the surf, where, reaching
down, he hooked on to something. A
big wave splashed over his back,
drenching him from head to foot, but
he held on to the sluid, and the bron-
cho, though yisibly alarmed at the
hideous-looking creature, dragged it
out high and dry ON the beach, where
it lay pumping ink and water, its long
arms coiling about like snakes.
After various excursions into the
surf the boy, having with the aid of
the stableman haulel the animals
above high-water mark, began to
secure his treasures. Each squid had
pen long, opal-tinted, translucent
object, the model Of huge pen and
holder eighteen or twenty inches in
length. This was found extending
foom the tip of the tail to the neck of
the animal, and served as a support,
something like backbone, But the
squid is a squid, not a backboned
animal. Next the huge eyes were
taken out and the eyeball secured,
which, after drying, resembled pearl
almost as large as marble. Then the
young fisherman produced a bag of
ink from the body of the animal, which
he said was India ink This was true,
and at one time this sepia was the
only India ink known. The pen of
some species of the animal is the
cuttletish bone of commerce, given to
canary birds. These treasures the
young fisherman later sold to tourists
and curiosity dealers.

A WOMAN'S WORD.

etange, amt it, how a woman's word,
Her answer, yes or no,
Can plunge a heart by passion stirred
In ecstasy or woe?
An that's JUS what's a-botherin' me
I'd give a world to know
Jes' what her answers goin' to be-
I'll bet she says 1t SLOW.
I'd rather hear the DOOM O. death,
'Twould be no harder blow,
Than ies' the simple whispered breath
Her little answer, NO"
But then upon the other side,
Altho' dare no guess,
Yet there's hint she doesn't hide
b'lieye she'll answer "Yes."
