English Tongues Supremacy.

Two thirds of all the letters which pass through the post offices of the world are written by and sent to peo- pie who speak English, says Brad streets. There are substantially 50O,- 100000 persons speaking colloquially one or other of the ten or twelve chief modern languages, and of these about 25 per cent, or 125,000,0O0, persons, speak English. About 100,0O0,00O speak Russian, 15,000.O00 German, 550OO,0O0 French, 45,000,0Oo Spanish. 35000,000 Italian, and 12,O00,000 Portuguese, and the balance Hungarian, Dutch, Polish, Flemish, Bohemian, Gaelic, Rouma- nian, Swedish, Finnish, Danish and Norwegian. Thus, while only one-Guar- ter 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 lan- guage. There are, for instance, more than 10000 post offices in India, the business of which in letters and papers aggregates more than 300,000,000 a year, and the business of these offices is done chiefly in English, though of India's total population, which is nearly 300, 100000, fewer than 300,000 persons either speak or understand English.

CONVENIENT SHOE FASTENER.

One of the important considerations which guide some people in the ques- ton of selecting q pair of shoes is the manner of. fastening them on the feet. for when a man is in q hurry as most men are in this century, he does not want to consume any more of his time in dressing than is necessary.
 Tn the accompanying drawing is shown what is probably the most rapid shoe fastener yet placed on the mar ket as there is but one motion of the hand necessary to complete the work of securing the edges of the uppers together around the ankle. One ad-

One of my favorite trolley rides in Denver had as its terminal road lead ing to q country village. The latter was perched nest-liEe on the summit of a lofty hill and was reached by prim- itlve horse car. With many q weary step and many groan,' modern Sisy- phus disguised as Il Il rse enjoyed all the rapture of toboggan into the vii lage. But once there, think of his re- ward. When the time came for the return of the car he was unfastened from the harness, walked quietly round, boarded the rear platform, and. while his head and tail extended fun nily from either side, the grip was re- faxed, the car sped down the hill by it's own velocity, and the horse enjoyed all the rapture of a toboggan slide. which he apparently appreciated to the uttermost

vantage of this invention is that 1t can be used in connection with a shoe originally intended to be secured with laces, the labor of making the altera- ton being inconsiderable.
 As illustrated in the drawing, this fastening device consists of a series of projecting studs arranged on either edge of the upper with telescoping slide arranged to engage the studs and draw the edges of the upper toward each other as the actions are expanded. It will be seen that by grasping the outer section of this fastener and giy-
 ing it an upward pull the inner sections will arrange themselves from the bot tom to the top of the opening, drawing the edges together as they rise. The two sections are shown in the picture to- gether with views of the shoe opened and closed. As the fastener is made of spring metal it will allow sufficient movement of the ankle to prevent bind ing, having In this an advantage over lace or button shoes. John r. Hawkes.. of Jersey City, N. J., Is the inventor.

LEARN TO SHOOT A RIFLE.
Canadian Miiitiamen Appreciate the
 Value of Good Craftsmanship.

Canadian Miiitiameu Appreciate the Value of Good Marksmanship.
 The lessons of the boer war have not been lost upon the Canadian militia. The superiority of the Dutch as rife shots gave them an immeasurable ad- vantage over the British invaders in many occasions and cost the imperial army the lives of thousands of brave men. The Canadian government is therefore encouraging the development of craftsmanship to an extraordinary degree. The result is surprising. Ev- cry village in Canada sports a rifle range and every province Is a school for sharpshootes. It is not fad but has seized upon the Canadians with a frmness that promises to leave an in- delible stamp upon the people for a generation. Of Canada's 6,OO0,00 of | people there are more than 500,000 capable of bearing arms. This vast army is developing into fighting ma chine of colossal proportions.
 The conflict on the South African welt indicated with frghtfu force just what a body of sharpshooters can do when opposed to armies trained in the old school of war. Imagine an army of 5Oo,OOO Canadians invading the | United States every man of them ca pable of doing execution that Cronje and his hoer warriors wrought along the Modder river. at Colenso and the other death traps of South Africa.
 The annual competition on the Onta- rio rifle range was indulged in by men from every part of Canada. They shot for three days. The result forms an interesting study for the Ameri- cans. More bulls eye shots were made than any other, and the extraordinary | record was made of not n single shot that would not have struck the vitals of man had he been the target at which they were shooting.
 The CanaadianS have not only copied largely in this respect from the sturdy warriors who so long defied old Eng lands sons, but these marksmen are copying the style of fighting they were taught was so effective by the boers. In truth, the fighting force of Canada to-day, with the extraordinary prof. clency with the rifle, Is a formidable thing, regardless of any support they might receive from the mother coun- try. England, 1t is now claimed, can draw sharpshooters enough from Can ada within year to Overwhelm any ordinary European army.
 They will be almost wholly men who, when in the field. will conduct them selves as the boers did. Besides the Lee Metford service rife, they are be- coming equally expert with the six shooter-that weapon that has proved so deadly In the hands of expert marks men of the cavalry forces of the 1 United States It Is no secret in Can ada that the Northwest police, a force of 2,000 expert horsemen, are the chief reliance for fast work with the pistol in the event of an emergency call for | fighting.

HONESTY IN WALL STREET.
How J. P. Morgan Taught a Lesson to
 Some Shrewd Brokers.


 Some Shrewd Brokers.
 A few weeks ago a Wall street firm was agent for coterie of street rail road capitalists in Philadelphia. The agents held about G0.OOO shares of stock for the capitalists on margin-shareS that the Philadelphans were under moral obligations to control. One day the agents sent word to the Philadel- phians that those shares must be taken up at once or they would be thrown on the market. The New York men knew that it would be impossible for the Pennsylyanians to take up those stocks on such short notice. Anticipat- ing their failure to do So, the New York agents had agreed to sell at d tow price far more of the stock than they had held. They expected that when the GO, LOO shares were cast upon the market they would be able to buy at a still lower price all that was needed to fill their own contracts, and that q heavy gain would be made.
 This was q scheme that in other years would have worked, and to the serious injury of many more than those imme- diately concerned. But new power had come into Wall street. The Phil adelphia men took special train to New York and went to J. Pierpont Nor gan. Tiny informed him of their pre- dicament Tell tn. Sc fellows to send that stock in to me- replied MT. Nor gan at once. The agents were in de- spair. They were forced to ask for the twenty-four hours allowed by the Stock Exchange in such emergencies. Next morning the agents said that by mis- take in bookkeeping it had been thought that securities were in New York which were really in London. and they could not be delivered for a week or more Meanwhile the stock was largely bought on the Stock Exchange, the the price went up and the agents were forced to buy at very high prices in order to deliver the 6O0O0 and other shares they had agreed to deliver at reduced prices The agents had eX- treme difficulty in retaining their seat on the exchange, and some very' salu- tary advice was administered before the incident was closed.-Worlds S Work

On day early in June of this year a man named Hawkins committed 2, crime at Marysville, Mo-, and then tried to run away from 1t. Hawkins was a real estate dealer and left the town because he had forged paper to the amount of 5000. When he left Marysville, Hawkins was a fine-lcok- slightly tinged with gray. At the end of two weeks he came back a white haired, broken-bodied old man. In the interval the man had wandered from place to place pursued by the hourly fear that he would be tracked by bloodhounds. The fear deepened into an overmastering terror. He hid him. self in the woods. Finally the fear be- came unbearable. He returned to Marysville and gave himself up. Twen- ty years, he said, had been added to his life In less than twenty days. He well comed the penitentiary as blessed re- lief. It is the old story. In seeking to dodge financial trouble he took upon his shoulders a greater one. The new trouble was so heavy that a prison seemed heaven of rest after the hell into which he had plunged. When will men learn that justice is never cheated? That every crime brings its penalty, soon or late? When will men learn they are not smarter than fate? There are other bloodhounds than those of flesh and blood that pursue the man who breaks the law. The bloodhounds of conscience will ever bay deep-mouthed to the soul that sinneth. Whatsoever a man soweth, that also shall he reap" That Is the inevitable law. If man sows to the flesh he shall of the flesh reap corruption. And he will reap more than he sows. The law of increase holds in the devils domain as 1t does in the fields of God.

Much has been said of the audacity of man in building his home in spots so dangerous as the slopes of Mont Pelee have proved themselves to be. Yet all history affords illustrations of the calm forgetfulness with which the race erects its dwelling places on the sites of the most dreadful catastrophes. Ve- suvius still smokes over beautiful Ma pies. Lisbon rises, beautiful and i'm posing, where a ''convulsion of nature once brought unutterable fright and desolation. The Japanese still crowd the coasts of their tide-swept islands and the Chinese huddle along the banks of the HoangHo. It is not very many months since Galveston was overwhelmed by flood, yet new Gal weston is being built on the dangerous site of the wreckage and the people of the city are ready to take their chances of a similar disaster in the future. There is absolutely nothing to prevent a second tidal wave from the Gulf, yet the city pursues its daily task, appar- ently unafraid.

Prophecies of gypsies, astrologers and other readers of the future, foretelling the calamity that recently befel King Edward, are being resurrected, or man. ufactured after the event, and present. ed to the credulous with becoming gravity. These pretended prophecies are reminders of the pagan past, when the gods took an intimate and respect full interest in the fate of kings. Por- tents were seen In the skies warning men that something dire was about to happen to his Majesty, and when he died earthquakes and storms testified to the sympathy of nature with an event so tremendous. Those were the days when king was king and very few had any doubt of his divine ap- pointment to office. Now only the sort of minds capable of crediting gypsy prophets can look upon monarchy as heavenly institution. Peoples no longer exist for their kings, but kings for their peoples. The old-fashioned despot is the dodo of politics. Respecting those veStigial remnants of the superstitious past, the prophets, it is obvious that their self-denial Is even more wonder ful than their powers. It perhaps has not occurred to those who still take them seriously that if there existed class of men capable of foretelling the date of kings death months or years in advance of its occurrence little thinpS like tba oIltpnma of hOrSe races and the ups and downs of the stock market would be as clear as print to them. In that case of course, they would soon own the wealth of the earth. But as prophets-gypsies, as- trologers, clairyoyants and the rest are never billienaires, it follows either that they are frauds or the most un- selfish beings in generally selfish world.
