The Universal Language.

An interesting Canadian writer has
been looking up the matter and finds
that English is coming into such wide
use that before long our tongue may
be regarded as a world language.
Certainly the figures he gives are
suggestive. Summarized, they show
that from 1900 to 1900 the number of
persons speaking English increased
from 20,OOO,O0O to 135,00O,00O, or SIS
per cent; French, from 34,000,000 to
100000, or Al per cent; German,
from 35,OOO,00O to 7O,00O,O0O, or 100
per cent; Russian, from 100000 to
sO,O0O,O 900, or 200 per cent; Spanish,
from 30,0OO,OO0 to 100000, or so
per cent; Italian, from 100000 to
100000, or n per cent, and Portu-
guese, from 100000 to 100000, or
62 per cent The absolute accuracy
of these figures may be open to some
question, but there is no doubt as to
the remarkable gain in the English.
speaking population Of the earth. And
the United States furnishes the larger
proportion.

French View Of Marriage.

The French. guided by reason, as
they would say, regard the institution
of ma,rimuuy as a rational regulation
Of the TACT OF sex, rs a compromise
between the rights OF the individual
and the rights Of society. The man
obeys bnt under protest; he is will
ing to sacrifice his liberty So tar, but,
beyond that point. he regards self
abnegation as fanatical asceticism.
Marriage, under French usage, says
II. ID. Sedgwick in Atlantic, is a part
nership, in which such matters as
character. tastes, education. birth and
property are to be considered; con-
tracing families scrutinize the pro-
posed bride and groom as IL coming
up for admittance into a club. They
look at our custom Of marrying for
love with amazement, as we should
look at a grocer's cart that started
on its rounds at 80 miles an hour.
Our system confines its view to the
rom; ntic dreams Of youth, and re-
CARDS matrimony rather as holiday
cruise than u voyage of life. We may
err in our endeavor to regard men
and women as disembodied spirits;
and yet We cannot but think that the
French err in their resolution to be
sensible and regard men and women
as animals taken in the tolls of soci
ETY.. Our theory may look too far
into the future; theirs fingers loo faI
In the brutal past.

Mans Span Of Life Lengthenins.

According to Sir Lauder Rrunton'
writing in the Lancet, the average
length OF life has rapidly become
greater. There has been a con;in-
uous increase in the expectation Of
life from u little under 40 years in
1854 to a trifle less than As years In
1900" A gain of eight years in half
a century appears tremendous, but
the figures could be, Of course, more
significant still if We applied the COM
parison to two periods separated by
several centuries. Here is rather
intangible, but certainly important
element, that should enter into all our
attempts at formulating historical
perspectives. However unconscious
the average medieval man may have
been OF what his worth as an insur-
ance risk was at any particular time,
his acts and thoughts must have been
profoundly influenced by the fact that
he had on an average l5 years less TO
live than his successor of the nine
teenth Gentry, says New York Post.
The violence of primitive civilization
may be due to the instructive desire
for getting as much satisfaction as
possible out of a brief existence, Pos
sibly, we do not live longer in the
twentieth century because we fight
less; but we quarrel less because we
live longer. Leisure is necessary for
altruism. Just so people step on each
others toes and scowl during the
halfhours eXpiation in the subway,
but are polite and form lasting friend
ships on the commuters train to and
from New Brunswick.

Where Some Writers Fail.

The most frequent defect in fiction
submitted for magazine use and, we
might add, in most Of the fiction that
somehow gets published in book FORM
is its lack of spontaneity in construc-
ton and expression, says Harpers
Magazine. The writer OF this manu-
featured fiction has a certain precalcu-
lated effect in view, with reference to
which he ambitiously contriyes every
incident and situation of his story
The harder he tries the more surely
he fails of any genuine appeal to his
readers. If he DISCUSSES his labor by
q facile mastery of dramatic material
and expression. he may succeed in
reaching crude sensibilitics and, be-
cause of his lower aim, may outsell
his betters. The multitude Is easily
captiyatcd by splendid artiiicc, which,
in exceptional instances, has COM
PEELED the admiration of even the jul
diciCus. We shall find, however, upon
close examination, that in such in
stances the writer has not, by his
strenuous effort, wholly closed the
door against all spontancity, In
our day polite literature must appeal
to human sympalhics, and the
writer's fertility Of invention is Of
little service.

young men were observed who were

were neatly arrayed in most respects,
but when they crossed their legs the

that they wore no stockings. 1t looked

English Dukes Patriotism.

The British nobleman responds to
the demands Of imperial patriotism
when they are called to his attention.
The duke of Westminster is the latest
of them to use his immense wealth
in assisting to make the distant pos
sessions of the empire British in fact
as we'll as in name. Two or three
years ago his interest in South Africa
was aroused by persons who thought
that more Englishmen ought to be at
tracted to that part of the world. The
duke bought 10000 acres of land in
the Orange River Colony, built IS
farmhouses and the necessary farm
buildings upon 1t, erected school
houses and other public buildings,
and sent out all the machinery and
tools needed to till the land and to
prepare the crops for consumption.
Eighteen families have been put in
the houses, and are now cultivating
the soil and attempting to establish
a center of British influence and the
nucleus of a large British settlement.
If the enterprise proves successful the
duke does not expect to net more
than two per cent. interest on his in
vestment But when the Orange Riv.
err Colony is thickly settled the new
district of Westminster-it is named
after the duke-will yield large re-
turns to future dukes.

proof of this is furnished by the re-

government telegraph system in the
territory. Receipts during the last
few months have ranged from so to

the facilities are SO inadequate that
additions are imperatively needed.
The system includes more than 5000
miles of cable and land lines, supple
mented by wireless apparatus which
bridges a gap of more than hundred
miles. The lines are being extended
in various directions, and before a
