Decrease in Languages. As time goes on the languages spoken in the world will steadily grow fewer. Three hundred years ago Cornish was beginning to disap pear as a spoken language, and a similar iate is now being experi enced by the Breton, in many res. pects a kindred dialect. A Breton sailor told a traveler that three ireneraiions ot his lamilv were alive-his father, who spoke Breton; I himself who spoke French and Breton, and his son who only spoke French. So in Ireland every year the number of those speaking Irish decreases. Twelve years ago a tourist in Kerry met a well-dressed young man ol the formes class on a country road, of whom he aked some questions, which were an swered 'very politely, but very lit tle to the point. At length he said : "Truth is, sir, I can speal Iruth is, sir I can speak very, wllM.Hs tl.heil from A,tori:l t;Tiil:l. ttle English.

The rising generation, Jiowevor, nearly all speak English except some on the wild Atlantic washed ilands. In the Isle of Man it is as described in Breton. The Welsh, however, stick to their vernacular, and when you get into a rural district in the country not contiguous to the Enlih border, s ,.. i. ii i :. you mino aimuM, as wen uc m Russia. A famous English Judge, who on one occasion observed, "there is a d"gree ot cunning and duplicity revealed in the conduct of this case such as is, I regret to say, not uncommon in the rinci pality," used to aver that the Welsh stuck to their vernacular jn great measure to defeat the ends of justice.
