The Arabic Language.

Though the Arabs number less than
the population OF London. their Ian
guage is one Of the most widely spoken
and influential In the world. for it is
the language of the Koran. Seventy
millions Of people In Asia and north
Africa speak some form OF Arabic as
their rernacllar, and quite as many
more know something OF the language
from the Koran, which, III the original
is textbook III The day schools of the
Mohammedans from Turkey 10 Afghan

unworthy of this extensive use. Renau,
after expressing his surprise that such

Some medical authorities, explaining
tile abatement OF epidemic diseases

from professional ties to attribute this
betterment of conditions not to med

OF soap and water. The Homeopathic
Envoy is OF the opinion that with
clean house and clean person no one
need have much fear OF infection. A
writer In the New York Medical Rec

be antiseptic and to be efficacious must
