We are threatened with an epidemic

known as covert cloth. 1t resembles
Khaki, and that in itself is enough for
the populace, neutral though we may

Those who object to 1t as unbecom-

MANY LANGUAGES OF WORLD
More Than 1000 Spoken by Mankind,
Besides lnnumerable Dialects
Improvement Is Seen.

How many men, IL asked how many
languages there are In the world,
could give anything like an accurate
answer? The average mans knowl-
edge or ability to speak languages
rarely exceeds two besides his native
tongue, yet we find that the Emperor
Francis Joseph, when visiting Red
Cross hospital, recently spoke with the
patients in their own languages. which
shows the aged emperor to be master
of six.
1t may appear strange, but It Is
nevertheless true, that there are over
1000 languages spoken by mankind.
while the number of dialects exceeds
this, remarks a writer in London An
swers. There are more than sixty
vocabularies in Brazil, and in Mexico
the Nahua is broken up into some 700
dialects. There are hundreds in Bor-
neo. while in Australia there is no
classifying the complexities. Let us
assume that fifty dialects on an aver
age belong to each language, and we
have the colossal total of 100000 lin
guistic abilities
A century hence the probability is
that there will only be four languages
of importance in the world. Central
Europe may produce a newer and
more straightforward German Ian.
guage, imperial English may reign
alone over the North American cont
nent, while a more businesslike Span!
ish will be used in south American
states, while Russia may take on
some moro rich Slavonic dialect, which
Will blend the races of eastern Europe
and central Asia into harmonious
federation. So that in future these
four languages will enter into what
may be a never ending competition.

part Is a box about eight by twelve
by fourteen inches. The exact size
does not matter, for each person may
have different materials with which to
work. The box should be light-tight
and lid should be provided for it.
The inside is stained a dead black
with ink, or mixture of turpentine
and lampblack. Be sure to get all
portions of the inside well BACKED,
asa good deal depends on this in the
successful working of the machine.
Now, with the lid off, and the box
lying on its side, place a curved re-
Hector in one corner, and fasten 1t
firmly to the bottom by the tabs left
for the purpose. The shape of this
reflector is shown in Fig 8. Next
set a lamp up close to the reflector
and cut hole directly above to al

Hector should be made of very bright
tin. Now light the lamp and put the
cover on the box, noting where the re-

from two to three or even five inches

three or four inches long. Fig. s

The ReIan Of Blue.

Dark blue is surely as fashionable
as its stanchest admirers could wish
to have 1t. Blue serge has been fash
ionable for several seasons, increas-
ingly so. apparently. And it is as
much worn now as ever OF course,
blue serge suits demand blue acces-
series, SO there are blue net blouses,
blue silk and Isle stockings, blue
handbags and other blue things by the
score. Then there are many blue vel
vet hats. Blue is one of the best
colors in the lovely new brocades for
evening wear. too And blue velvet
even crimson velvet--is not more regal
looking than rich and sumptuous vel
vet of kings blue.

Beaver fur grows more and more

dreamed, few months ago, of wear
ing beaver again? The soft, dainty
pelt is used for collarettes and sleeve
edgings on frocks OF pussy willow silk
and on tailored frocks of white cloth.
Sometimes a broad band Of beaver
borders a ripple tunic. but of course
this lavish trimming is exceedingly ex-
pensiye. The older woman should

black satin. Such a coat worn with a
short, moderately full skirt, leaving a
plated panel at each side and short
enough to show laced shoes of black
leather and covert cloth, or sand-col-
ored cloth uppers, marks a woman as
bit different from her neighbor.
There is no promise of a return to
the fashion of wearing a tight-fitting
covert cloth jacket with plain dark
blue serge skirt, but it is to be worn
with a plaid skirt in dull tones that
harmonic with the foundation color
ing of the coat. More and more does
plaid work its way into the fashions,
not only for entire suits, but for skirts
worn with solid colored jackets, es-
pecially when these are short. The
combination would be ugly if the coat
was long.
The use of plaid for collar and cuffs
on a jacket of solid color is often adj
vocated, but 1t is not to be commend
ed just now. The suggestion of put
ting plaid peltry on dark cloth suits
was brought out by Premet, but 1t was
not followed over here, possibly be-
cause it was difficult to get the dyed
fur, and the fashion was too fieeting
and experimental for the expense in
