CROW AND JAP TONGUES AKIN.

The Two Languages Have Many
Words in COmmOn-HOw Is 1t.
1T is not generally known that the
Grow Indian language is very much
akin to that Of the Japanese" said
Col. S. G. Reynolds, government agent
at the Grow Indian Agency.
THAT an Indian tribe 1000 miles
from the coast should have many words
in common with a nation on the other
side Of the earth is most remarkable
and opens line of theory and research
upon which ethnologists and linguists
can spend much time and study.
"Over on the Crow reservation, near
the Custer battlefield, lives a negro
named Smoky Smoky was born on
the reserve and has been adopted into
the Grow tribe, so he is an Indian.
He talks the Indian language better
than he does English. Smoky always
works around the agency, and usually
for the Indian agent
Last year l had a Japanese cook
at the agency. Several days after he
came to work for me three Jap Sec
ton men from the Burlington rail-
roads gang came one evening to see
my cook. They were in the kitchen
jabbering away when Smoky came in.
"a few minutes later the negro came
into my library and told me the 'Japs'
were talking Grow instead Of their
own language. At that time 1 could
speak Indian only in a limited way,
but I went into the kitchen and asked
my cook (who could speak English
about it. To my surprise 1 found that
Smoky was partially correct, and that
many of the Japanese words were used
in the Grow language with identically
the same meaning. 1 am not enough
of an ethnologist to say where these
Identical words came from, or whether
or not the Grows and the Japanese had
a common origin, but it is curious fact
that these languages are very much
alike. New York Times.

TRAVELLING IN ENGLAND.
w. H. HOweIIs the BcautieS OF
Chester in Old World.

w. II. HOWeIIS on the Beauties OF
Chester in old World.
Because Chester is the handiest piece
of English antiquity for new Ameri-
cans to try their infant teeth on, | had
fancied myself avoiding it rs unworthy
my greater maturity. 1 had not now
landed in Liverpool, and often rs I
had hitherto landed there, had proud
~ disobeyed the charge of more inn
perfectly Travelled friends to be sure
and break the run to London at Ches-
ter, for there was nothing like it in
all England, writes w. ID. Howells in
Harper's. Having INDUCED my naughty
spirit for nearly half 4 century, one of
the sudden caprices which undermine
the firmest resolutions determined me TO
pass at Chester the day which must in
tervene before the steamer | was going
to meet at Liverpool was due. Natural
ly l did everything l could to differ
ence myself from the swarm Of my
crude countrymen whom I found there,
and l was rewarded at the delightful
restaurants in the Rows, where l asked
chest tones, with pot of the odious
Oolong which observation has taught
the Britons is most acceptable to the
palate of our compatriOts, when they
cannot get green tea or Japanese tea.
Perhaps it was my notifying failure
in this matter which fixed me III my
wish never to be taken for an English
man, except by other Americans whom
it was easy to deceive.
The Americans abounded in Chester,
not only on the present occasion. but in
my three successive chance visits to the
place; and if they were by an immense
majority nearly all of the same sex,
they were none the worse for that By
pretty twos, by pretty threes, yet by
larger lovely groups, and, in serious
middle-aged instances, singly, they wan
dered in and out of the plain old ca
thedraI; they strayed through the rows
or arcades by which Chester distin-
guishes herself from other cities in hav-
ing tWo-storied sidewalks; they clus-
tered in the shops where the prices
were adjusted to their ignorance of
English values and they could pay as
much for pair of gloves as in New
York OF Chicago; they crowded the
narrow promenade which tops the city
wall; they haunted the historic houses,
where they strayed whispering about
what they had read of English history
and attentive to the instruction Of the
custodians; they rode on the tops Of
the municipal tram cars with apparent
" no apprehension from their violation
of the sacred American principle Of cor
porational enterprise in transportation
they followed on foot the Wanderlngs Of
the desultory streets; at the corners
and before the quainter facades the sun
caught the slant of their lifted eve

in the case Of William Rockefeller
Three months ago Mr.. Rockefeller, who

JacksOn's schooling was the rudi-
ments of the three Rs, and scanty
enough at that. He never learned to
write English correctly; but in the
hard school of the frontier he learned
courage and dauntleSsness, ana under
his mothers tutelage lie learned honor
and honesty.
1t was in the Revolutionary War
that his mother and his two brothers
died from the hardships entailed upon
them. Jackson was taken a prisoner
by the British and nearly starved to
death, as well as brutaIly treated.
At the end of the war the boy, then
entirely alone in the world, was APP
prenticed to saddler But his ambi-
lions were for public life. The gate Of
entrance was the practice of law. At
the age of IS he entered law Office,
and although he never had 4 really le-
gal mind, he mastered the necessary
knowledge and started in his profess
sion. Nearly the whole course of
Jackson's life was a breaking down Of
barriers Of one kind or another.
