Languages spoken In Chicago.

In pamphlet entitled "a Sketch Of
the Linguistic Conditions of Chicago"
Prof. c. d. Buck, of the University Of
Chicago, says that 40 languages are
spoken in that city, which is more cos
mopoltan in character than CONSTANT
nople or Cairo or any other city of the
past or present. Fourteen tongues are
spoken by 10000 or more persons each;
newspapers appear regularly in ten
languages, and church services may be
heard in about 20 languages. "Chi-
cago," says the professor, "is the sec
ond largest Bohemian city in the world,
the third Swedish, the third Nor
wegian, the fourth Polish and the fifth
German, New York being the fourth"

NEW ZEALAND II. P.'S.

Predecessors.

The name of one of the four Maori
NJ. P's just elected in New Zealand
revives historical "reminiscences. He is
one Hone Heke. Nearly 60 years ago
there was a great fighting Maori chief
by that name, fanatical opponent of
the British colonization of New Zea-
land On one occasion he literally
drove the British into the sea. captur-
ing a fortified settlement and compel
ling military and civilians alike to take
re- dge on ships in the harbor. The
British soldiers roughly Anglicized his
name into Johnny Hickey" and hence
arose a legend that be was really an
Irishman in the guise of a Maori.
The Maori NJ P.'s are now a superior
and well-educated class, says the Lon
don Chronicle. Their predecessors o.
the SOS and 7O's were decidedly uncon-
rcntional and primitive in their tastes
and habits. 1t was nothing unusual 10

exodus of white members in his vicinity
the shark had not recently been
caught As they know only their own
language, each sentence Of their
speeches had to be translated by an
official interpreter, and this was a
dreary business.

Cures
DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION,
AND STOMACH TROUBLES.

The tolturcs and evils Of dyspepsia and
Indigestion are experienced by thousands at
this time. The dyspeptic's train of evils
may be enumerated as follows feelings OF
dizziness, languor, nervousness, sleeplessness,
headache, dislcnsion Of the stomach, loss of
flesh, difficult breathing, and the action of the
heart is seriously affected.
All forms of dyspepsia are quickly banished
by the Use of Paine's Celery Compound.
The use Of this marvellous medicine allays the
inflammation Of the nerves centred about the
stomach; it opens up the sewers of the body
and removes all waste matter; it cleanses the
blood; it makes new nerve fibre; it restores
digestive power, and promotes bodily strength
and activity. Mr.. Fred. Ross, Clarendon,
Iowa, briefly writes about his happy expert
encc with Paine's Celery Compound as
follows:-

merits Of Paine's Celery Compound. l can

The little
Florist
THEY were neighbors.

THEY were neighbors.
He was a florist, and had hopes
Of making a good living. She was max
ing prosperous living by managing an
inherited nursery. He was young. She
was younger. There similarity ceased.
He was rugged, uncultured, plain,
though with a certain charm OF virlle'
forceful LONELINESS difficult TO analyze.
She was pretty, college bred, ariSto-
cratic. He believed in Drawn and brain.
She believed in blood and breeding.
They were not neighborly. She
called herself "horticulturist." He
was merely a florist. Of course, Dick
Russell was a bachelor, and in love.
"Why don't you stick up house on
your grounds?" asked Uncle William
one night as he and Dick sat smoking
a goodnight pipe in the porch.
Cant afford it," said Dick, CURLY.
"I'm putting every penny can raise
into that gas MACHINE I'm building IN
the nursery"
Foolish, tool" grunted Uncle Will
liam.
"Mebbe So" assented Dick, grimly.
The months passed.
Dick said little, but read great deal.
One day he Mortified Uncle William by
requesting permission to put in tele-
phone.
what for?" demanded he in a
breath.
"Cause want it," said Dick.
So, in spite Of opposition and dire
predictions, the telephone was in
stalled, connecting the house with the
distant village of Prittlewell. His
point won, and his crop money safely
deposited in the bank, Dick threw him
self heart and soul into the compile
ton of his queer gas plant. He bought
miles of slender iron piping, and many
tons of hard coal. He dug bitches and
laid a portion of the piping around his
orchard and at regular distances
across it, until the ground looked like
a gigantic gridiron. The unused pip
ing (by far the larger portion) was
stored away in the gas house. When
the work was finished and the bitches
filed in, curious neighbors comment
ed on the queer MOBILES" which showed
above the ground atintervals along the
straight rows of buried pipes
Coin to irrigate?" they asked.
"Mebbe," said Dick, grimly.
How're you goin' to plow an har-
row with them things a-Etickin' up in
that way?"
The gas machine itself, situated in
the center of the orchard, was, by aid
of a stout building, stout shutters and
portly paddock, made curiosity proof.
No one went into this building except
Dick and two trusted workmen.

Interview In New York on Return
From Bedside Of a Sick
Relative.

A dispatch from New York last night
says: Miss Mae C. Wood, to whom has
been attributed the purpose OF fnstituting a
suit for breach Of promise against Senator
T. c. Plat, on the eve Of his marriage to
Mrs. Janeway of Washington, arrived at
the Manhattan Hotel this afternoon from
Ontario county, N. Y, where she had been
at the bedside of a sick relative. Miss
Wood expressed herself in terms Of indig-
nation regarding the published rumors and
said she was not interested in any persons
matrimonial affairs. The only people who
are apt to get into trouble, she added. are
those who are at the bottom Of these silly
rumors.
When asked IL she knew Senator Plat
she said: 'Of course. know him. have
known him for several years. He has al
ways been friendly to me, and I esteem
him highly. I regret the publication Of
these ridiculous stories. as very unfortunate
and distressing"
To a reporter Senator Plat said: II have
seen the statements about Miss M. G. Wood
in the newspapers. and regret that any
thing should have been published to her
discredit. OF course. all the suggestions in
regard to lawsuits are absurd and ridicu
lous. 1 have known Miss Wood for long
time, and, with the senators from her own
state. recommended her for a position in
the Post Office Department. So far as
know, she has performed her duties satis-
factOrily. regard her as a lady Of fine at

The engine was accidentally stopped

order to start it this morning, the

called several men to his assistance.

Order took hold of either the belt or
the wheel on the side that was mov-
ing downward. 1t is believed that
the steam had been partially turned
on or had leaked sufficiently so that
as soon as the crank was turned off
the center of the wheel gave sudden
lurch and jerked young Van Order
down.
He fell either between the belt and
wheel or else between the belt and
the ground. the eye witnesses falling
to agree on this point, and was drawn
down until the pressure again stopped
the engine. The men realized at
once that an awful accident had
happened and turned the wheel back
as quickly as possible, though with
considerable effort. On drawing his
body away from the wheel it was
discovered that his skull was fractured
and his chest crushed in.

Brain.food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind of food is
needed for brain, another for muscles,
and still another for bones. A correct
diet will not only nouriSh particular
part of the body. but 1t will sustain
every other part. Yet. however good
your food may be, its nutriment is
destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia.
You must prepare for their appearance
or prevent their coming by taking
regular doses of Green's August
Flower. the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to
healthy action, purifies the blood, and
makes you feel buoyant and vigorous.
You can get this reliable remedy at
all drug stores. Price 25c and 75c.

Welded In Youth.

rom Milwaukee Journal.
ST. PAUL, January 17.-Papers have
been filed here in peculiar divorce
case-peculiar not from the grounds
alleged, but because of the youth of
the contestants at the time of their
marriage. Frank n. Walden alleges
in his complaint that at the time of
his marriage at Grand Rapids, Wis
consin, he was II years old and his
wife was 7. They are now 3S and 81
respectively.
The principal allegation against the
wife is that she lived at Duluth with
another man from April until October,
1897.
We have been unable to verify the
above statement with any facts
obtainable here. Perhaps Michigan
is meant instead of Wisconsin.
