801110 interesting statistics havo boon
compilod by a Frenchman respecting
tho different languages spoken in va
rious parts of the world. He states
that the language in which Hhakspoaro
and Milton wrote was then that of less
than six million human beings. French
was the mother tongue of at least
thirty million people at a time when
English was spokon by less than sixteen
million, and fifty million of French
speakiug poople were living when the
Revolution broke ont in 1848.
Between forty and fifty years the
English language equalled the German
in the number of those who spoke it,
and now the latter aro left far behind.
German is now spoken by ten million
persons in the Austro-Rungarian em
pire, by forty-six million in the German
empire, by four million in Belgium,
and by abont two million in Switzer
land. German is also spoken by
about two million persona in the
United States and Canada, giving a
total of about sixty millions who uaa
the German language.
French is spoken by the thirty-eight
million inhabitants of France, by two
million five hundred thousand people
in Belgium, by two hundred thousand
in Alsace-Lorraine, by six hundred
thousand in Switzerland, by one million
five hundred thousand in the United
States and Canada, br six hundred
thousand in Hayti, and by one million
five hundred thousand in Algiers, India,
the West Indies and Africa, in all about
forty-five millions. v
English is spoken by thirty-seven
million persons in the British Isles, by
probably fifty-seven million of the
Mxty million inhabitants of the United
States, by four million persons in
Canada, by three million in Australia,
by three million seven hundred thou
sand West Indians, and by one million
in India and other British colonies,
bringing the total of the English-speak

The pretty school teacher, for a lit

She looked at him reproachfully, and

He was going home to his wife and

und he was getting along as fast as he

that a man behind him was following
him purposely, The faster he went,
the faster the man wont, until thoy
came to a chnrohyard. "Now," he said
to himsolf, "I'll find out if he's after me,"
und he entered the churchyard. The

revolvers and gurroters grew upon him.
He made a detour of a splendid mauso

Up to about thirty years ago the
most familiar nppellntion for one s
maternal relative was "Ma." That
generation still use the same title. It
sometimes creeps into print under their
auspices. - Two late novels bristle with
it, and it is a far cry from the "Dear
est"' of Fauntleroy to the "Ma" of Mrs.
Burnett's earlier stories. "Mama"
came in just before the war. It has
been so universally adopted, and by
such curious people, that a reaction
from it has set in during the put de
cade. "Mamma" made a strenuous
btrugglo, but it has always seemed
rather foreign In its tone and ditllcult
to acclimate.' Now "Mother Is begin'

A favorite route to Chicaeo from
the Eastern and Middle States is over
the "Scenic Lehigh Valley" Division
of the Reading Railroad System, by
way of Niagara Falls or Buftalo. This
line traverses a region exceedingly
rich in picturesque scenery. Indeed,
it may be questioned whether m all
America a journey of the same ex
tent will afford to the lover of the
beautiful so many and so
diverse and charming views of Nature
in her loveliest forms.
The traveller from East to West by
the "Scenic Lehigh Valley Route"
passes through the sublimely beautiful
scenery ot the Lehigh Valley, past
Mauxh Cnunk, the "Switzerland of
Ametica," into and over vast ranges
of sky-towering mountains, through
the song famed and romantic Vale of
Wyoming, the smiling Susquehanna
Valley, and on through the famous
lake region of New York State to
Buffalo or Niagara Falls, whence any
one of several diverging lines will con
vey him to the World's Fair City on
Lake Michigan. Aside from the
scenic beauties of the Reading Le
high Valley route, the line is perfect
in construction and equipment, the
trains being composed of magnificent
coaches and parlor and Bleeping cars
and supplied with all conveniences
and every approved appliance for
safety and comfort.
From New York and from Phila
delphia, with connections from every
direction of numerous junction points,
Pullman parlor and sleeping cars are
run through, without change to Chi
cago, those going by way of Niagara
rails, parsing through Canada over
the Grand Trunk and Chicago &
Grand Trunk Railways, while the cars
going via Buffalo reach Chicago over
the Nickel Plate Line.
Passengers taking the , Reading
Route have the choice of a number of
lines in addition to these, either going
or returning. The fares offered by
the Reading are as low as by any
other route indeed, in most instances,
they are lower. There are now four
through trains, in either direction,
every day, and full details respecting
routes, rates ana trains can oe nau at
Reading Railroad ticket offices.
The Why and Wherefore.
There is nothing marvelous in the
fact that Hood's Sarsaparilla should
cure so many diseases. When you
remember that a majority of the dis
orders "flesh is heir to" are due to im
pure or poisonous condition of the
blood, and tnat Hoods Sarsaparilla is
an effective and radical blood purifier,
the whole thing is explained.
Besides its blood purifying qualities,
Hood's Sarsaparilla also contains the
best known vegetable stomach tonics,
diuretics kidney remedies and liver in
vigorants, and is thus an excellent
specific for all disorders of these or
gans, as well as for low condition of
mc system, ur mai mcu reeling.
Most Americans will be surprised to
learn that all the Chinamen in the
United States came from one of the
eighteen provinces of the celestial em
pire most of them from one corner
of that province. In an article in
Harper's Weekly for June io, Rev.
Dr. Fredeiick J. Masters, who was for
nine years a missionary in Canton,
and for eight subsequent years super
intendent of the Chinese Missions in
California, describes these people in
their homes, and compares them with
the Chinamen of other provinces.

Onr Mother-Tongue.
If we reverence it as we ought we
will be on our guard not to insult it
by violating its rules. We will not
say, "You hadn't ought to do this," or,
"He ain't a goin' to do that." Wj
will avoid that last and worst error of
the vulgar, the double negative. We
will be above misplacing moods and
tenses, and putting the nominative
case where the objective be ongs by
right.
Many piople who ordinarily speak
their mother-tongue correctly are at
fault when they have to do with pro
nouns. Pronouns are stumbling
blocks beyond all other parts of speech.
"A person does not know what to do
with their hands," they say, or, "One
does not give their best things away
for nothing." If speaking of two per
sons, you will hear that "Ruby has in
vited John and I to supper," or,
"Lawrence is going to Chicago with
Mildred and I." The placing of
another name before the conjunction
blinds them to the awkwardness of
setting I in the objective case.
The word "nice" is frequently mis
used, and taken from it significance of
neat, delicate, daintv, to stand for
agreeable, charming, or virtuous.
Thus a girl was talking to another of
that decidedly objectionable member
of society, a burglar, and alluding to
one in particular, a man undergoing a
sentence of imprisonment, said, with
emphasis, "I don't think he was a nice
young man. A "nice ' girl, by-the-1
way, otten does duty in describing a
young woman, who, whatever else she
may be, is more than nice if she is
gentle, good, winsome, and well-bred,
and whose mceness ought to be taken
for granted.
"Lovely," in the same way, is ap-
plied equally to a favorite pudding or
a beloved relative. "First rate" server
as a qualifying adjective when scenery,
fine clothes, a pleasant time, or, oh !
worst and saddest of misnomers, the
'natural" appearance of a corpse are
the topics which the speaker has in
mind. Harper's Bazar.
There is more Catarrh in this sect
ion of the country than all other di
seases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and prescri
bed local remedies, and by constantly
tailing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced itincurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh

Why?
Why is Strictly Pure
White Lead the best
paint ? Because it
will outlast all other paints, give
handsomer finish, better protection to
the wood, and the first cost will be less.
If flarytes and other adulterants of
white lead are "just as rood" as
Strictly Pure White Lead, why are all
the adulterated white leads always
branded Pure, or ,
" Strictly Pure
White Lead?"
This Barytes is a heavy white powder
(ground stone), having the appearance
of white lead, worthless as a paint,
costing only about a cent a pound, and
is only used to cheapen the mixture.
What shoddy is to cloth, Barytes is
to paint. Be careful to use only an old
and standard brand of white lead the
