Worries of a Housewife.

Women are given to worry more than
are men. When anything threatens
to worry a man, he finds solsce in the
little brown jug, says Zim in Cartoons
Magazine. But women cannot look ad-
versity in the face with such calm
abandon. They are not built that way.
AS near as ! can make out 1t is a
difference in temperament. Woman
is more highly organized than man.
Her nervous system is much better de-
veloped. If you notice look of worry
on your wife's face and ask, "Well
What's up today?" she signs and says,
"Oh, dear, dear Everything's up

Over 1000 Languages Now;
May Be Only Four Century
Hence, Authorities Think

II you are asked how many Ian
guages there are In the world, can
you give anything like an accurate
answer The average persons knowl-
edge or ability to speak languages
rarely exceeds two besides his native
tongue. The late Emperor Francis
Joseph, when visiting Red Cross hos
pital, spoke with the patients In their
own languages, which showed that the
aged emperor was a master Of six.
1t may appear strange. but 1t Is
nevertheless true, says an exchange.
that there are over 1900 languages
spoken by mankind, while the number
Of dialects exceeds this. There are
more than 60 vocabularies In Brazil,
and In Mexico the Nahua Is broken up
into some TOO dialects. There are hum
dreds In Borneo, while In Australia
there Is no classifying the complex
ties. Assuming that 80 dialects. on
an average, belong to each language,
gives the colossal total Of quarter
Of million linguistic abilities.
Some authorities think that CEN
fury hence there will be only four lam
guages OF importance In the world
Central Europe may produce a newer
and more straightforward German lam
guage. imperial English may reign
alone over the North American CONT
nent. and a more businesslike Spanish
will be used In South American states
while Russian may take on some more
rich 0lavonic dialect. which will blend

dashed forward at breakneck speed
Miss Burrell screamed and chung to
the seat rail.
Leila tore OF the ragged skirt she
wore, posed to meet the onrushing
horse, made a daring spring, flung the
skirt over its head and chung TO the
Bride dragged, trodden on, and final
ly flung upon heap of stones, but the
runaway brought to halt.
Leila lay upon her poor bed, bruised
and bandaged. The next day when
Miss Burrell visited her she drew her
skirts closely to evade contact with
the bare floor. She shifted the plebian
air of the howell with contempt.
Il am glad you was not hurt" spoke
Leila. THAT was all l thought Of, be-
cause you are Mr.. Warden's true love,
and / would do anything for him; he
has done so much for me. Don't tell
him." whispered Leila, "but / love him,
and that makes me happy all the time.
Oh, would willingly die for him"
"Indeed?' breathed Miss Burrell loft
of suspicion and hate in those basilixk
eyes.
"She Is not good enough for you"
the Open-souled, artless Leila told War
den, when he, too, came to see how she
was getting along and within a week
the amazed young man thought SO,
too. Miss Burrell had seized upon the
dir CT Of hn ort4 f,%n
est of Warden In Leila to create a
quarrel. AS matter Of fact, her tickle
fancy had been transferred to a new
flame and she seized a ready excuse to
break with her fiance. The enlightened
Warden was abashed and hurt, but he
kept his suffering to himself. The real
soullessness Of Miss Burrell showed in
her neglect of Leila after one call. 1t
was weeks before Leila could get
about.
Warden had returned to the city,
but several times he ran down to visit
the little invalid and the day she was
able, resting on his arm, to go out into
the garden, he disclosed to her his fu-
ture plans.
II am going away, Leila" he ex-
planned Ito cure his heartbreak. He
did not tell her, but she guessed 1t, and
regarded him pityingly. II shall be
gone a year. Your people here have
agreed that l shall care for you and
give you a chance in the world. You
are to go to my sister in the city, who
will look after you and place you In a
school, and help you to enjoy the
bright new life your true, gentle spirit
deserves"
II am learning to write" a little
scrawl from Leila reached Warden
three thousand miles away on his wan
behring's. "Just see If 1t isn't plain. j
love Mr.. Warden more than anybody
else In the world"
And a year later, as the travel-weary
man was longing to turn his face home
