PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH. Th Dialort Rapidly Oolnc Oat of Im and Kfifllab Taking It flare. In twenty-five or thirty years, If not before, the Pennsylvania DuUh dialwt will be to all intenta and purposes a dead lanuape. There have boen very great changes during the last ten or fif teen year and the rapidity with which j they are taking place is being acceler ated every year. This is noticeable in the churches, in the newspapers, in the language of business, in intercourse with the people, and in the increased facility with which one who does not under stand the dialect can make himself un deraUiod wherever he goes. When the Presbyterian Church was founded in Readinp, Pa., about half a century ago, it was done chiefly because there were a few people who wanted to have Enjrlisb preachinjr, and the only way to have it was to found a new church. Now there are only three or four out of forty churches where the services are con dubted in the German language. A score of years ago there was a split In the Trinity Lutheran church, the largest in Ueading, because tome of the members wanted one service each week In English. Now for a lonjr time past fell the services of tbatcburcb have been in English. In the country all the young ieopl who come up for "oonflrmation" have been taught the catechism in En glish, and where they have not already been granted it they are clamoring for English services in the churches, and all the old-style preachers who have been accustomed to delivering German sermons all of their lives find that they must begin to yield a little to the new demands or sacrifice their usefulness and popularity. Every parent who is ambitious for his children desires that they shall learn to speak English, every young man and woman feels that to do so is a much desired accomplishment, and there are few of the younger gener ation w ho are not able to understand and carry on conversation in the lan guage of the country, though in theji hemes and in their ordinary business they may use the Pennsylvania Dutch. Nearly all of the last generation were taught to read, and many of them U Write, German in the schools which were attached to the churches. Since the es tablishment of the common-school sys tem these have gradually died out, and there is probably not one of them left. Tho early newspapers of the countrj wero. all German, and there are still quite a number of them published, bul they seem destined to die out in a com paratively short time for want of sub scribers who will be able to read them. The proprietors of tho Adler. one of the pioneer newspapers of Pennsylvania, which was founded over a century ago, have recognized the direction in which things are tending by issuing an English paper to take the place of the .German edition. The same precaution has beer, taken by tho owner of tho Kut.town Journal, au old and influential German paoer. Tho time of the war, and for s few years thereafter, the Adler was still s great power in politics, and what it said was widely quoted and commented upon, but for the last fifteen years it ha scarcely been beard of, even in the mosl exciting political campaigns, and no one who wishes to address the public on an) political subject thinks of doing sc. through the journal that for nearly i century was one of the great Democratic orgaus of Pennsylvania, and was known far and wide as the Derks County Uible. This is not because the Adler is nc longer a good newspaper, but because il is printed in a language which is buing BARGAINS. sale in the town of .''ID double in value in le?fi than six $150 a Lot, some of which we will 85 PICK MOMTJI. rapidly discarded TyThe rising gonera tien. Hero in Heading the language of the treet, of the store, and of all publu places is English, and Pennsylvania Dutch is seldom heard except in some ol the outer wards. It is still, of course, desirable that a clerk or a conductor ol a great retail store should be able tc talk Pennsylvania Dutch, but it is nc longer absolutely necessary, and it it becoming less so every year. Out in the boroughs and larger villages more and more English Is being constantly heard, the English newspaper la everywhere ieen, and in every possible direction the old language is losing its hold and English is being substituted. Cor. Na tional Tribune. THE GRIMALDI FAMILY. One of the Olilent and Klrheat of Euron.'i 1'rinceijr Iloa.ra. The Grimaldi family, from which the rulers over Monaco have sprung, is an cient and distinguished- Several foolist statements are current about the origin of the Grimaldis. The authority for these fables is Charles de Venasque, secretary to llonore II., the first ruler who as sumed the title of Prince of Monaco after it had been ascribed to him, proba bly through error, in the official report of the French General who, in 164U, re captured tho Lerins Islands. Charles de Venasque drew up a pedigree of tho family to which his master belonged, and lie may have thought that Honored, th(J bureau also BhowSi by corapari. II. would lie gratified by being assured that he had a distinguished ancestor liv ing in 712, and another who was Lord ol Monaco in the tenth century. These particulars have been printed, and have been reproduced as authentic. Indeed, a gonealoglcal fiction has a tenacious life. A long and illustrious pedigree is a possession which once acquired is not easily renounced, every member of the family to which it relates having a per sonal interest and natural prido in cher ishing it. Thus, when M. Henri Meti vier who w-as tutor, wo believe, to the late Prince of Monaco wrote the large and able work on "Monaco and its Princes," which appeared in 1805, he in corporated into It the family fables which Charles do Venasque fabricated or copied in 1647. Tho facts relating to tho origin of the Grimaldis and to their careers as sovereign Princes of Monaco do not require any coloring or varnish either to attract the student of history or to fascinate tho reader who likes to be diverted or tbrillod. There is nu lack of amusing particulars in the his tory of Monaco; soni! of tho incidents in it are as tragic as any with which Shakes peare has dealt. Quarterly Hevie-v. , The Lord Mayor of Loudon. The Lord Mayor receives from the city of London for Ids year of oflico $'0,000, and on an average spends $40,000 to $!0, 000 in excels of allowance. He has no other provision except the use of the Mansion House and its furniture. Wino stands as one of the chief items of ex penditure. In the basement of th Mansion House there are quite as many cellars as there are aldermen who have not passed the chair, and it has been tho practice of aldermen to lay in a stock of wine long before their mayorality. This was done to a much greater extent some years ago, when it was more the fashion to drink port wine. Then an alderman would place in the cellar allotted to himself pipes of port sometimes years before it would be put on the tables of tho Egyptian hall. The wine not con sumed is usually sold or removed by the outgoing Lord Mayor. There is no rea son to doubt that Mr. Whitehead's may orality has cost 8100,000.- BOOTS AT A BARGAIN. A Young l.aily (irt I'alr by Walking; ta the l'ont-onice. She was as gentle of eye as a soft gazelle, that is, she was, for this didn't happen this week. It was in a shoe store in Lewiston, and the gentle midden was an acquaintance of the proprietor and always bought her No. 2's there when she encased her dainty foot In any thing brand new. "Here' something that would fit you," said the jocular proprietor, passing out a pair of wool boots fitted with a pair of lumber man's rubbers, "I'll make you a present of them it you will wear them down to the post-office and back." "Wait a minute," said she, and in a "minute" she was arrayed in woolen boots and lumberman's rubbers. "Watch me to the post-office," and she was gone. .'Her feet beneath her petticoat, like little mice, stole in and out as if they feared the light," wrote the poet two hundred years ago, but he didn't refer to the Lewiston young lady who did this feat on foot, or he never would have said it She was back in less than ten minutes, red-cheeked and laughing. "There," said she, as she passed up the boots. "Do them up. I'll send them to my father down in Penobscot County. 1 never lose a chance to help the folks at home," and the shoe-dealer was as good as his word, and "dad" mar- veled at the pair of nice wool boots from his thoughtful daughter in Lewiston. Lewiston (Me.) Journal. taoit oi tne salamander. Considerable ignorance exists, even among persons of education, as to the habits of the salamander. The mere mention of this harmless little betrach ian recalls to the minds of most people mystic ideas with respect to fire-eating and fire-inhabiting creatures, which have probably caused many of the poor little brutes to be burnt by experiment al philosophers who should have been far above a belief in such absurdities. The spotted salamander is the color of lamp-black, with numerous large yellow spots and stripes, and is very common all over Southern Europe, as well as in Northern Africa. It haunts all manner of dark and cool places, such as cavities under logs of wood, and holes In old walls, where they can find a supply of I insects, worms or slugs. All the sala mander's movements are performed with such absurd solemnity that the most hardened reptile-hater could not bo uninterested. Sometimes the opera tion of swallowing a worm will last twenty minutes. Science. Longevity In Norway. The Norwegians, it seems, are the longest-lived people under the sun. So we learn from an elaborate "Livs og Dodstabeller for def Norske Folk," just published by the Norwegian Official Statistical Bureau, or tables of life and death among the Norwegian people. The average duration of life in Norway is 48.83 for the men, 61.30 for the women inl AQ T7 tnr hnth soxPfL The director boji with earlier decades, that the aver age longevity of the Norwegian folk has considerably increased. "If the mor tality in Norway," he writes, "is seven teen per cent, more favorable than in Central and Western Europe.it is greatly duo to the comparatively slight mor tality among our younger children." To what particular causes this compara tively slight mortality among children is due we are not told, but probably anxious parents in warmer climates may take a hint from it and make inquiries. Pall Mall Gazette. IutereHtlng Legal DecUiion. A woman agreed with her grandson that she would give him S500 it he would not take another chow of tobacco or smoke another cigar from that time till her death; and on his part he agreed to trive herdoublothat amountif ho violat ed tho agreement. Seven yeai-s after she died, but he had not been paid, and though he had kept the agreement, she had paid him nothing, nor had she pro vided for paying him. Ho sued her ex ecutor for the amount, but was defeated nn t.lio around that tho condition was not such as to mako tho contract bind ing. The Kentucky Court of Appeals has recently decided that the grandson fulfilled a plain and valid contract, and is entitled to tho money. Talbot vs. Clay. .

It is said that platinum can be sol dered to gold by first sweating some fine gold into the plan tin um at a high heat The gold soaks into the plantinum, then solder will adhore to it. Kilowatts is the term which is to be used hereafter to express the power of electric machines. The word "horse power" will be no longer employed in referring to the power of any electric motor. The increased binding power of ce ment due to the addition of sugar is said . to be due more to mechanical than to chemical causes. Sugar rotardsorather than accelerates the setting of the ce ment While the use of electricity in Lon don for illumination is steadily increas ing, the use of gas is also rapidly on the increase, the demand for the latter for heating and cooking being greatly in ex cess of former years. A new process for burning coal with out smoke, it is said, has lately been discovered. It consists in sprinkling water containing a special preparation ef resin over the coal, and the result Is that there Is no smoke, and the glow is as intense as coke. A blue soap, the use of which obvi ates the necessity of employing bluing in laundry work, is made by incorpora ting with ordinary soap a solution of an iline green in strong acetic acid. By the action of the alkali of the soap, tho green is converted into blue, uniformly coloring the mass. Sapolini, of Milan, has described a method of his which he states he has successfully employed in sixty-two cases of deafness of old age. It consists in mopping the membrana tympani with a weak oleaginous solution of phospho rus. He claims that the treatment di minishes the opacity of tho membrane, increases the circulation, and improves the hearing. Kansas City Medical In dex. A remarkable feature of the East Indian trade is the large number of umbrellas imported. Last year tho total received in Calcutta alone was 2,021,745. This was by far the largest import re corded for any one year, and it is not surprising to hear that the trade was somewhat overdone, and a consequent glut resulted. The United Kingdom has virtually a monopoly of the business. The yearly manufacture of flour In the United States Is about 75,000,000 barrels, ot which 6J!,000,000 are required for domestic consumption and 10,000,000 to 13,000,000 barrels for export This estimate for home consumption is in ac cordance with tho basis which for many years has been found an approximately correct one that of one barrel of flour, on an average, to each individual of the papulation. In the biological department of the University of Pennsylvania experiments are being conducted in regard to the processes of tho mind. Three of the principal kinds of experiments now be ing made are those to measure the memory of sensations of sight, sound and feeling; those to measure the time taken to express a sensation, and those to measure the time taken to receive an Impression through the eye, etc. The means used to make these investigations are weighted wheels, gibbet-shaped ma chines, pieces of iron arranged to fall upon touching a lover, pivoted hammers, etc. WISDOM'S EMBLEM. The Struggle for Supremacy lletween the l'liiloHopher and the Owl. Once upon a time the directors of a large public building devoted to learn ing met to decide upon a proper emblem for wisdom, whoso statue they dosired should be upon the topmost spire of tho structure, All mannor of created boings contended for tho honor of typifying wisdom and the strife waxed vehement, insomuch that the directors were sore perplexed. At last tho contention was narrowed down to two, the Philosphor and the Owl. "I am in the human form divine," said tho Philosopher, ''I embody the knowledge of tho ancients and the dis coveries of the moderns. I can commu nicate my knowledge by spoken words and by written signs. Moreover, I am a representative of tho only race of mammals that is endowed with a wisdom tooth. 1 claim to be the best type of wisdom.", "1 do not. profess to embody all knowl edge," hooted the Owl, "but have that which Is better. I possess the art of concealing my ignorance." Whereupon tho directors unanimously choso tho owl as tho better emblem ot wisdom, and they placed its statue upon the pinnacle of their templeof learning, where it may bo soon to this day. Chi cago Tribune. The Bishop of St. Asaph's, in Wales, appeals to English churchmen to aid tha Slergy of his diocese, whose resources have been nearly cut off by the titho agitation.
